Chemical Immune Reactivity Screen (Cyrex Laboratories)
Array 11 measures an expanded range of environmental chemical toxins that bind to human tissues versus other laboratory tests that only identify chemical exposure.
Clinical Use:
- Identify the loss of immune tolerance associated with chemical exposure, which may lead to autoimmune reactivity
- Assist in setting guidelines for the avoidance of specific chemicals to reduce the risk of igniting the autoimmune process
- Monitor the effectiveness of the clinical management of patients
Aflatoxins IgG+IgA
Optimal range: 0.9 - 3.2 ELISA Index
Aflatoxins are organic chemical compounds produced by a polyketide pathway by many strains of the mold, Aspergillus.
Aspergillus flavus is a particular strain common contaminant in agricultural products such as peanuts, rice, figs and corn.
Aflatoxin B1 is the most potent natural carcinogen known and is usually the major aflatoxin produced by toxigenic strains. The Curse of the Mummy has been a popular theme for literature, films and folklore.

Optimal range: 0.3 - 2.1 ELISA Index
Benzene Ring Compounds: Benzene, Pheno, Toluene, Xylene
Classified as a hydrocarbon, Benzene [C6H6] is an organic chemical compound composed of 6 carbon atoms forming a hexagonal ring arrangement. Benzene is a solvent found in crude oil. Because it has a high octane number, it is utilized in gasoline. Benzene is also used as a precursor to heavy chemicals (i.e. ethylbenzene, cumene from which acetone and phenols are derived).
Most solvents are neurotoxic and many are carcinogenic.

Optimal range: 0.6 - 2.4 ELISA Index
Formaldehyde is an organic compound. Formaldehyde-based materials are common to the manufacture of automobiles. Formaldehyde-containing resins – melamine formaldehyde, ureaformaldehyde, phenolformaldehyde, carbamide formaldehyde – are used as a binder in plywood and particleboard production, home furnishings, household cleaners, paints, textiles, landscape and yard products, medicinal and personal care products, pesticides, fire retardation, increased water repellency, stiffness, carpeting made with synthetic fibers, and wrinkle-resistance in fabric finishing; paper products treated with formaldehyde include paper bags, waxed paper, paper towels, and disposable sanitary products; in the health care industry, formaldehyde is used in disinfectants, preservatives, and embalming fluid. Thus, formaldehyde exposure occurs in multiple home and work environments. Formaldehyde has been classified as a known human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
