On the MRT results report, a food with a volume change below 10% is classified as:
Answer: Non-reactive
A volume change below 10% indicates the white blood cells did not release significant mediators, classifying the food as non-reactive (green zone).
Which blood component does the MRT primarily measure to determine food sensitivity?
Answer: White blood cell volume changes
MRT measures the change in volume of white blood cells (and platelets) after exposure to food antigens, reflecting mediator release regardless of immune pathway.
A patient's MRT shows 22% volume change for wheat. This places wheat in which category?
Answer: Moderately reactive (yellow)
Volume changes of 10–24% are classified as moderately reactive (yellow zone) on the MRT scale.
When building the initial LEAP ImmunoCalm diet, a CLT should primarily select foods from which MRT zone?
Answer: Green (non-reactive) zone
The initial ImmunoCalm diet is built exclusively from the patient's lowest-reacting (green zone) foods to minimize inflammation and symptom burden.
Which threshold defines the cutoff for 'highly reactive' (red zone) foods on the MRT?
Answer: Greater than 24% volume change
Foods producing a white blood cell volume change greater than 24% are classified as highly reactive and placed in the red zone.
The MRT panel typically tests approximately how many foods and food chemicals?
Answer: 100–170 items
The standard MRT panel tests approximately 130–170 foods and chemicals, depending on the panel version chosen.
A LEAP therapist notices a patient's MRT report shows very few reactive foods (95% green). What is the most appropriate next step?
Answer: Suspect the blood sample may have been compromised and consult the lab
An unusually high percentage of non-reactive results can indicate sample degradation or processing error, warranting consultation with the testing laboratory.
