Mediator Release Test (MRT®) Kit

The Future of Food Sensitivity Testing

Oxford’s latest innovation is the MRTIII® instrument. MRTIII® is the world’s most advanced and reliable instrument for measuring the subtle volumetric changes that occur in hidden inflammatory reactions to foods and food-chemicals.

MRTIII® provides unmatched reliability and precision because it is the only instrument in the industry that combines advanced flow cytometry technology with the patented impedance-based “Ribbon Method.” 

MRTIII®, along with Oxford’s patented “Ribbon” method, is the only instrument capable of measuring the subtle volumetric effects of antigen challenge on individual white cell populations simultaneously (lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes, neutrophils). And because MRTIII® is able to identify more relevant inflammatory reactions than any other test or method, therapeutic outcomes are maximized with its use.

Understanding Food Sensitivity

There are 3 categories of diet-induced inflammatory reactions: Food Allergy, Food-Induced Autoimmune Disease, and Food Sensitivities. Of the 3, food sensitivities are the most prevalent.

Food and food-chemical sensitivities are highly complex non-allergic (non-IgE), non-celiac inflammatory reactions. They follow multiple inflammatory pathways and may be governed by either innate or adaptive immune mechanisms. They’re one of the most important sources of inflammation and symptoms across a wide range of chronic inflammatory conditions.

Due to their inherent clinical and immunologic complexities, as well as a lack of general knowledge within conventional medicine of their role as a source of inflammation in IBS, migraine, fibromyalgia, arthritis, GERD, obesity, metabolic syndrome, ADD/ADHD, autism, etc., food and food-chemical sensitivities remain one of the most under addressed areas of conventional medicine.

Common Feature of Food Sensitivities

The single common feature of all diet-induced inflammatory reactions is that they ultimately cause mediator release (cytokines, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, etc.) from various white blood cells (neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, lymphocytes). This is true whether reactions are immediate or delayed, whether dose dependent or not, whether governed by the innate or adaptive immune systems, whether cell-mediated or humorally-mediated, and whether inflammation remains at a sub-clinical level or becomes clinically symptom-provoking. All food-induced inflammatory reactions involve mediator release, which is the single most important event leading to all the negative effects you suffer, including symptom generation.

LEAP Anti-Inflammatory Eating Plan

LEAP is so much more than just a computer generated rotation diet based on the results of a blood test. It is a complete system of developing a healthy, anti-inflammatory eating plan for you.

• LEAP maximizes the value of the information MRT® provides
• Incorporates your history
• Includes your food preferences
• Is easier to follow
• And gets greater adherence and consistently produces the best outcomes in the shortest time.

LEAP: The Most Complete Outcomes in the Shortest Time

The MRT®-based LEAP anti-inflammatory eating plan routinely produces the most complete outcomes in the shortest time. Common food sensitivity related conditions typically achieve rapid, lasting relief in as little as 5-7 days. In fact, in most cases, it is highly uncommon to not see a noticeable change in just 2 weeks.

The benefits of LEAP and MRT® go far beyond food sensitivity related health problems; it empowers you to take an active part in your care, and helps you realize a sense of control over your health and well-being that you otherwise wouldn’t have.
