Saliva testing for inflammatio

Post by barbS »

Any at home kits available? Labs that allow patient order?

I never heard of these until I saw Dr. E. Goulder of Ohio for my followup on carotid scan
I am at 66 years, and I am 66 years old. Whew.
He is Dr. Bredesen certified cardiac surgeon.
This test was listed on a care program I was given.
I cannot afford even the basic plan fees, but I cannot find much info on the test.

Hi barbS, I haven’t heard of the saliva test for inflammatory markers until I read your post.
You can get a lot of biomarkers for inflammation tested in blood, which the salimetrics site acknowledges.
Many of them, like high sensitivity c reactive protein (hsCRP) and homocysteine are standard tests and usually covered by insurance. Albumin:Globulin is also part of most physicals. Another marker is Omega6: Omega 3 .
You probably don’t need to go to the expense of the salimetrics test to get a good sense of your level of inflammation.
