Autoimmune Disease Testing Suspended

The assay proven to be a biomarker for all autoimmune diseases via
replicated research has been suspended indefinately. The testing for ciguatera
has been available since early 2003 and was shown to be an autoimmune
biomarker in 2008 with the help of funding from our foundation along with a huge
grant from the National Institutes of Health. As noted on our website,
patients should no longer be sending in samples to the John A. Burns School of
Medicine at the University of Hawaii until further notice.

For better health,
