This test requires a blood draw. Once the test is purchased, a kit will be sent to you along with instructions and an activation code. Once your test is activated, you will be directed to a local blood draw center to have your blood draw. Specific instructions will be emailed to you regarding fasting or non fasting and if you need to stop any supplements.
Web results are posted within 7-14 business days. Our office will notify you when test results have been reported.
You will be emailed a confirmation from the lab. Within 3-5 business days, you will receive a test kit that you will take to the lab with you.
Yes. Dr Hagmeyer will review the test result with you. Each test comes with a post-test review/explanation.

How Do I know If Need this test? Blood tests are commonly used to evaluate a wide range of symptoms and health conditions. Here are some symptoms and situations where someone might seek blood testing:
1. Fatigue or Weakness:
Persistent fatigue or weakness can indicate anemia, thyroid dysfunction, or other underlying conditions.
2. Unexplained Weight Changes:
Sudden weight loss or gain may necessitate blood tests to assess thyroid function, hormone levels, or metabolic conditions.
3. Fever or Infection:
A fever, especially if persistent, may lead to blood tests to identify infections, such as a complete blood count (CBC) to check for signs of infection or inflammation.
4. Joint Pain or Swelling:
Symptoms of arthritis or autoimmune diseases may prompt tests for inflammatory markers or specific autoantibodies.
5. Digestive Issues:
Symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, bloating, or abdominal pain may require tests to assess liver function, pancreatic function, or to check for infections.
6. Skin Changes:
Unexplained rashes, discolorations, or persistent itching may lead to tests for allergies or autoimmune conditions.
7. Mood Changes:
Symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other mood disorders may prompt tests for thyroid function, vitamin D levels, or other hormonal assessments.
8. Menstrual Irregularities:
Irregular or heavy menstrual periods may lead to blood tests to evaluate hormone levels or assess for conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
9. Chest Pain or Shortness of Breath:
These symptoms may require tests to assess heart function or oxygen levels, including tests for cardiac biomarkers.
10. High Blood Pressure:
Individuals with hypertension may undergo blood tests to assess kidney function, electrolyte balance, and to rule out underlying causes.
11. Chronic Conditions:
Patients with chronic diseases (like diabetes or chronic kidney disease) often have routine blood tests to monitor their condition and manage treatment.
12. Allergies:
Symptoms such as hives or respiratory issues may lead to blood tests for specific allergies.
13. Nutritional Deficiencies:
Symptoms like hair loss, brittle nails, or cognitive changes may prompt testing for vitamin and mineral deficiencies (e.g., vitamin B12, iron, folate).
14. Liver or Kidney Issues:
Symptoms such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, or swelling in the legs may require liver or kidney function tests.

Welcome To A New Frontier In Understanding Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s LINX™ is the result of years of research in environmental factors that are known to have an association with the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
- 1 In 10 People Age 65 And Older Has Alzheimer’s Disease.
- Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s are women.
- According to the Alzheimer’s association, 5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s. By 2050, this number is projected to rise to nearly 14 million. Today, 1 in 3 seniors die with Alzheimer’s or other dementia.
Clinical Use
- To identify patients at greater risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease or other neurological disorder.
- To identify reactivity to triggers of Alzheimer’s disease or other neurological disorder.
- To identify the early stage of neurodegenerative processes.
- To monitor the effectiveness of lifestyle modifications for Alzheimer’s disease.
The Power of Predictive Antibodies
Identifying root causes in the earliest stages possible is crucial for developing interventional programs.
Detect antibodies up to 20 years before symptoms actually appear!
Alzheimer’s-Associated Immune Reactivity | Alzheimer’s LINX Lab Test
An important aspect of Alzheimer’s disease that is highly overlooked is the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
The blood-brain barrier is a highly selective barrier between blood vessels and neurons. Its job is to let good things in and keep bad things out.
When this barrier is damaged by things like microbes, chemicals, heavy metals, food sensitivities, etc., the factors that keep the BBB healthy starts to diminish which can increase neuro-inflammation leading to cognitive decline.
The new Cyrex Alzheimer’s blood test (LINX) looks for antibodies to damaging BBB factors and checks to see if the immune system is attacking factors that keep the brain healthy.
The results of this test can help you and your healthcare practitioner develop a plan to help restore the blood-brain barrier and promote a better brain for those with cognitive decline and those who may have a genetic susceptibility for Alzheimer’s.
The Cyrex LINX Alzheimer’s blood test is also useful for those:
- Interested in preventing Alzheimer’s disease.
- Who are exhibiting early signs of Alzheimer’s.
- Have been diagnosed with Alzheimers’s.
- Who have a history of gut disorders and/or diabetes.
- Who played high-impact sports.
- Who have multiple food and chemical senstivites.
Window Of Opportunity For Intervention
Pathological changes of Alzheimer’s from normal, are classified into three major stages.
- Preclinical
- Mild Cognitive Impairment
- Dementia

Alzheimer’s Disease And Environmental Factors Alzheimer’s LINX assess/measures immune reactivity to the following groups of key contributing factors:
- BRAIN PROTEINS – brain proteins beyond amyloid-beta and tau
- GROWTH FACTORS – factors involved in neuronal regeneration
- ENTERIC NERVE, ENZYMES AND NEUROLOGICAL PEPTIDES – the communication pathway between the gut and the brain
- PATHOGENS – known to cross-react with amyloid-beta
- CHEMICALS – Biomarkers for a collection of chemicals/heavy metals discovered to have associations to Alzheimer’s
- FOOD THAT CROSS-REACT WITH AMYLOID-BETA – Eight out of 208 foods, newly discovered to have the potential association with Alzheimer’s
- BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER AND NEUROFILAMENTS – Assesses the integrity of the blood-brain barrier
