Jivora Borrelia Immune Insight + Basic Bartonella-Babesia Reponse Panel™

Jivora Bartonella-Babesia Immune Response Panel™: Insights into Your Immune History

The Jivora Bartonella-Babesia Immune Response Panel™ is a professional laboratory screening focused on two common vector-borne markers: Bartonella and Babesia. While many wellness investigations focus solely on Borrelia, understanding your body's interaction with these specific environmental markers provides a clearer picture of your immunological history.

This home blood collection kit utilizes high-sensitivity ELISA technology to detect antibodies associated with these intracellular markers from the comfort of your home.

Who It’s For

This professional home blood collection kit is a comprehensive resource for:

• Wellness Investigators: Individuals seeking to establish a broader immunological baseline following a period of systemic or neurological distress.

• Complex Health Detectives: Those looking to map their immunological history when standard initial screenings have been inconclusive.

• Pet & Outdoor Enthusiasts: Individuals in high-contact environments wishing to establish a baseline for markers associated with common animal and vector exposures.

What It Measures

• Bartonella IgG: Screens for markers associated with Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana.

• Babesia IgG & IgM: Measures the immune response to Babesia antigens to provide a detailed view of your immunological history.

• Intracellular Marker Mapping: Focuses on the unique antibody signatures associated with pathogens that reside within host cells.

More About Your Jivora Borrelia Immune Insight + Basic Bartonella-Babesia Response Panel™

Convenient Access to Wellness Insights

You can order your testing kit directly through Jivora Health, an authorized ArminLabs partner. Our streamlined online process respects your privacy and security, allowing you to take a proactive role in monitoring your immune health without the need for a prior office visit.

Simple, Needle-Free Collection at Home

Each kit features the FDA-cleared Tasso+ device, designed for easy and virtually painless blood collection from the upper arm. This innovative technology allows you to collect a high-quality sample without traditional needles. If you prefer, a standard clinical blood draw option is also available. Both methods are validated for sample stability and laboratory accuracy.

Informational Results for Better Conversations

Your report provides a detailed look at how your immune system reacts to specific tick-borne antigens. These findings are educational in nature and intended to help you have more informed discussions with your healthcare provider. Please note that these results are not a medical diagnosis and should not be used as a standalone basis for a treatment plan.

Medications and Testing

While most common medications do not impact the results, certain intensive therapies - such as strong immunosuppressants, chemotherapy, or interferon-gamma therapy - may affect your immune system’s natural reactivity. We recommend consulting your clinician before sample collection if you are currently undergoing these treatments.

Fast, Secure, and Supported

Once your sample is received by the laboratory, your secure digital report is typically available within 7 to 10 business days. To help you navigate your findings, Jivora Health provides access to a complimentary educational review to explain the data markers in your report.

Comprehensive Immune Screening

Traditional screenings often focus on a single strain of Borrelia. The ArminLabs approach provides a broader perspective by screening for reactivity to Borrelia burgdorferi, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia garinii. By including persistent-form (round-body) antigens, this test offers a more comprehensive view of your immune profile, reducing the limitations found in narrower testing methods.

Understanding Your Immune Markers

• IgM Reactivity: Typically associated with a more recent or active immune response.

• IgG Reactivity: Generally indicates an immune memory or long-term reactivity. ArminLabs calibrates these markers to provide you and your healthcare professional with a clear map of your immune system’s history and current status.

The Science of Antigen Diversity

Borrelia bacteria are known for their ability to shift forms, including "round-body" or pleomorphic states. Because these different forms can trigger different immune responses, our testing includes specific antigens for both active and persistent forms. This multi-antigen approach ensures a more thorough assessment of immune reactivity that standard screenings might overlook.

Regulatory Status: The Tasso+ collection device is FDA-cleared. The laboratory tests provided by ArminLabs are Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs). These tests have not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary for LDTs when performed by a CLIA-certified laboratory.

Educational Use: These results are for informational purposes only. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
