Boost Your Sinus Health
with Probiotics and Immune Testing
Understanding Sinus Disease & Probiotics
Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects millions worldwide, leading to persistent inflammation and infections in the sinuses.
Recent studies show that specific probiotics, such as Latilactobacillus sakei (L. sakei), can:
Restore balance in the sinus microbiome
Reduce inflammation
Enhance immune response
The Importance of Immune Testing
Immune testing is a crucial step in understanding and managing chronic sinus diseases. Here is why:
1. Personalized Treatment Plans:
o Immune testing helps identify specific immune deficiencies or dysfunctions in patients with CRS.
o By understanding your unique immune profile, doctors can tailor treatments to address your specific needs.
2. Predicting Surgical Outcomes:
o Patients with low STAT4 phosphorylation levels often have poorer surgical outcomes, and targeted interventions can be planned accordingly.
o Probiotic treatments with Latilactobacillus sakei can enhance STAT4 activity, promoting better healing and reducing the risk of recurrent infections.
o Immune testing allows for the monitoring of treatment effectiveness and adjustment of therapies as needed.
4. Identifying Underlying Issues:
o Chronic sinusitis may be linked to underlying immune system problems that are not apparent without testing.
o Identifying these issues can lead to more effective, long-term solutions rather than just treating symptoms.
5. Preventing Recurrence:
o With a detailed understanding of your immune system’s function, proactive steps can be taken to prevent the recurrence of sinus infections and inflammation.
o This leads to improved overall sinus health and a better quality of life.
How It Works
1. Blood Sample Collection: A simple blood test is performed to measure immune response markers. It will be performed after a televisit with an ENT/Immunology practitioner.
2. Flow Cytometry Analysis: Advanced technology is used to analyze STAT4 phosphorylation levels in CD4 T-cells and other relevant immunune profile.
3. Probiotic Treatment: Based on test results, the provider will give you specific guidance about your immune system. Targeted probiotic treatments like Latilactobacillus sakei can be one of the therapies based on the immune test findings.
4. Research Study: You will be given the option to participate in our research studies. If interested, we will talk to you about our research and invite to review, discuss and signe and informed consent form.
