Cyrex Array 2 Provides Clinicians Cutting-Edge Technology for Accurate Assessment and Monitoring of Intestinal Barrier Function

PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - July 13, 2016) - Cyrex Laboratories, a clinical laboratory specializing in functional immunology and autoimmunity, offers Array 2, an intestinal antigenic permeability screen. The Array 2 is the most advanced test on the market to accurately measure intestinal permeability or "leaky gut" as well as assess systemic Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) -- a byproduct of bacteria. The Array 2 is unique among clinical testing in its ability to identify the route of damage occurring in the intestinal barrier.

Knowing the pathway of degeneration helps the practitioner narrow his/her focus in identifying the triggers causing damage and choose the most effective gut healing protocol for the patient. Dr. David Perlmutter, a renowned neurologist and leader in preventative medicine who recently released the New York Times Best Seller Brain Maker, said, "I consider the Cyrex Array 2 to be the most effective laboratory study available for evaluating gut permeability."

Array 2 is recommended for patients who have food sensitivities, abnormal immune cell count and function, or who present multiple symptoms suggestive of autoimmune disorders, such as chronic fatigue, joint pain, skin issues and/or cognitive impairment. Because of the significant correlation between the gut and brain barriers, Array 2 can also be used in combination with Cyrex's Array 20, a potent tool for assessing permeability of the blood brain barrier.

"With gastrointestinal barrier integrity being a causal mechanism for so many autoimmune and metabolic diseases, there has never been a more important time for those practicing to quantify what is being observed clinically," says Dr. Randall Gates, D.C, D.A.C.N.B. and Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist and Dr. Martin Rutherford, D.C., C.F.M.P and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner. "Simply, the Cyrex Array 2 allows us as practitioners to ascertain and demonstrate to patients the problem at hand."

Physicians and other licensed healthcare professionals, as well as patients, interested in learning more about Array 2, 20 or any of the Cyrex Arrays that are part of the Cyrex System, are encouraged to visit www.joincyrex.com for additional information.
