This is the Mosaic combination kit for mycotoxins and organic acid tests. Now, Mosaic is formerly Great Plains lab, so everyone's kind of confused during this time of transition, but Mosaic was Great Plains. Now, this test is, like I said, the mycotoxin and organic acid test. And this is one I refer to clients when they trying to measure them for mold toxicity. And the organic acid test is now measuring a ton of other markers, like, let me look at my list here so I don't forget intestinal microbial overgrowth. So we're looking at, like, your hipuric acid. We're looking at your clostridia markers because as a gut gets more dysbiotic, the clostridia gets out of control. And as clostridia gets out of control, that affects dopamine conversion, which is then excitatory to the brain. And we have more brain inflammation, and things go a little bit crazy. We're looking at oxalate metabolites because mold and a body affected by mold toxicity, oxalates start to go way up. So we're able to measure those oxalates. What else we looking at? Neurotransmitter metabolites. We're looking at dopamine and serotonin, looking at nutritional markers, indicators of detoxification, like your glutathione. We're looking at amino acids. We're also looking at, like, your B vitamins is a big one that I look at in there too. So there's so many markers in the organic acid test. There's actually over. There's over 70. I'm trying to remember if there's over 75. It might be 76. Don't quote me on that number, but it's a lot. And the mycotoxin test, you know what we're doing, we're looking for those big poisons coming from mold, you know, coming from Aspergillus, coming from penicillium, coming from Ketomium stachybotrys. These are the things we're looking for. Fusarium, Another one we're looking for, like, Sierra linone, which is an estrogen mimicker. Okay, so this combo is nice because you're checking not just for the mycotoxins, but we're also including the. The organic acid test, which is not just showing us yeast and fungal markers with potential colonization from Aspergillus and Fusarium, but all those extra markers that I already talked about. So between the two, these are the best labs you can get for testing the body via the urine, for Your potential of mold toxicity. Now, remember, you still have to do an ERMI test. E, R, M, I. And there's a link with this video to test your home for mold. That's the proper way to test your home for mold, not air quality testing. Air quality testing in general is very inaccurate. It's good for cavity testing, but not for checking the mold load. Total mold load on your home. So the nice thing about this test from Mosaic, like I said, is both two kits in one, and it's urine, so you can do it. And with Mosaic, they send a pediatric collection bag if you have a little with diapers. So, like, when you're testing with Vibrant, they don't have that pediatric collection bag, although you can buy one separately. But with Mosaic, they'll send that along and a PDF with instructions for that. So here's what you get in your box. Let me actually, let me show you first. When you first open the box, you get this warning that's stop, wait, don't. Okay? It's telling you to stop and scan this. But if you're a client of mine and you're getting this, you can ignore that big warning because there's a paper requisition inside. And it's that paper requisition that you fill out and has my information already on so that you can complete the test. And you don't need to scan, because I have people that get confused all the time scanning that and then it's saying it's not registered. You don't have to. You can open up the box, use the paper requisition inside. So inside comes a couple papers. It comes with your test requisition form. Mosaic has done a great job of simplifying this process. It used to be uber confusing, okay? But now it's a whole lot better. So when you get these from me, it's going to have my information filled out. You fill out your information. It takes some time. Take some time. Just make sure you follow everything. This is the kit that you actually get inside. Let's open this up so that you know what exactly you're getting. Okay. This is your pea sample cup. So remember, this is a fasted test, and there's instructions that come with this on food and drink, to avoid supplements, to avoid. You're going to stop your binders, okay, three days ahead of time. You're going to stop glutathione three days ahead of time. This is not a provoked test. You get this little ice pack in it. When you get your kit and open it up. Put this in the freezer, but don't let it sit like this in the freezer. You'll never fit it back in the little bag. Make sure it's perfectly flat in the freezer so that when you go to return this, it's ready to go. You get the plastic hazard bag so that after your sample is done and you filled out your name and information on there, it's going to go inside this bag and then it comes with the freezer bag. So when you're all done your collection, you're going to take your frozen pack, you're going to put it in here, you're going to take this, which is inside the bag, and you're going to put it in there with the freezer, with the freezer pack inside this insulated bag. And then keep your box. And then it also has the return packaging for it. And I'm trying to remember if Mosaic uses UPS or FedEx. And it is UPS. Okay, so it comes with the UPS return bag. So you're gonna go online or call them. Sometimes calling them is better because online can turn into a big, giant, confusing mess. Okay, let me move that. So that is the Mosaic Mycotoxin Organic Acid Test. Feel free to use the contact form or shoot me an email if you have any questions about this. But it's nice, simple kit, comes with great instructions. We also email you instructions when you order this kit. If you have any questions, just reply to that email. But the big things to remember are to stop your glutathione, stop your binders, get your freezer pack in the freezer, complete all the paperwork, don't forget to write right on the. On the urine cup, too. And it comes with return shipping, which is nice. So I know it seems like a lot when I go through this, but it's actually laid out pretty well. They've done a great job of keeping things clear. And I will also attach a couple PDF instructions and send those to you via email when you order this kit. Again, let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps.
