Methods for detection of a nutrient deficiency in a subject are provided herein using a lymphocyte stimulation method that is patient-controlled and, therefore, is patient-specific in that the patient's own serum provides a baseline level of lymphocyte response, in addition to obtaining an optimal level of lymphocyte response, and a test level of lymphocyte response to a test nutrient. A hemotology analyzer is used to determine lymphocyte response. The invention also relates to methods for identifying nutrients that improve immune system function to assist in treatment of conditions resulting from such deficiencies, and methods for improving immune system function. |
