    \n\tDiagnostic Approach<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    The BI(G)MED diagnostic approach involves tracing a pathology back to its origin by precisely analyzing the functioning of the immune system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    A detailed and precise picture of the immune system via lymphocyte typing and protein profiling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The immune system is on the front line against external or internal disturbances and aggressions. In cases of infection or allergy, the involvement of the immune system is undeniable, as its defense mechanisms deploy visibly and directly. However, it is equally involved, though more subtly and sometimes less intuitively, in processes such as autoimmune diseases, cancers, metabolic disorders, and certain neurodegenerative pathologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our immune system is composed of a very large number of cell populations, including T lymphocyte subpopulations (CD4+, Th1, Th2, Th17, CD8+, Treg\u2026), B lymphocytes, and Natural Killer (NK) cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The development of laboratory techniques such as flow cytometry<\/strong> allows for the characterization and quantification of these different lymphocyte subpopulations in a blood sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is known as lymphocyte typing<\/strong>. It is central to the practice of the BI(G)MED therapist. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The interpretation of this assessment allows, among other things, to detect very precisely and sometimes early:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
