An innovative diagnostic tool
MELISA can be used to identify triggers of inflammation – whether the source is nickel released from surgical implants, bacteria from a tick bite or gold from dental crowns.
Metal hypersensitivity
Exposure to metals in dental fillings and implants, joint prostheses, pacemakers, environmental pollutants and jewellery can lead to health problems in sensitive individuals as they may be causing an allergic reaction.
Lyme disease
MELISA is now used in diagnosing active Lyme disease, by establishing the reactivity of the blood cells to different strains of Borrelia.
