Methods for recommending a program to improve or maintain pro-inflammatory immune health
First Claim
1. A method for recommending a program to improve or maintain pro-inflammatory immune health of a healthy individual comprising:
- (a) establishing a benchmark pro-inflammatory protein value set, wherein the pro-inflammatory protein value is determined by a calculation made using levels of pro-inflammatory protein measured in samples of non-blood body fluid collected from healthy individuals at one or more time points in a 24 hour period;
(b) determining an optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range from the benchmark pro-inflammatory protein value set established in (a) by using descriptive statistic methodology;
(c) establishing a pro-inflammatory protein value for said individual to be assessed, wherein said value is determined by the same calculation as set forth in (a)b; and
comparing the value established in step (c) to the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range determined in step (b), wherein a pro-inflammatory protein value for said individual that is within the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range is indicative of good pro-inflammatory immune health and wherein a pro-inflammatory protein value that is outside the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range is indicative of inferior pro-inflammatory immune health;
wherein when the pro-inflammatory protein value for said individual is within the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range the recommended program comprises instructions for the individual to continue practicing his or her current lifestyle factors;
(wherein when the pro-inflammatory protein value for said individual is outside the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range, the recommended program comprises instructions to change current lifestyle factors.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method of assessing the pro-inflammatory immune health of a healthy individual comprising: (a) establishing a benchmark pro-inflammatory protein value set, wherein the pro-inflammatory protein value is determined by a calculation made using levels of pro-inflammatory protein measured in samples of non-blood body fluid collected from healthy individuals at one or more time points in a 24 hour period; (b) determining an optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range from the benchmark pro-inflammatory protein value set established in (a) by using descriptive statistic methodology; (c ) establishing a pro-inflammatory protein value for said individual to be assessed, wherein said value is determined by the same calculation as set forth in (a); and (d) comparing the value established in step (c) to the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range determined in step (b), wherein a pro-inflammatory protein value for said individual that is within the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range is indicative of good pro-inflammatory immune health and wherein a pro-inflammatory protein value that is outside the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range is indicative of inferior pro-inflammatory immune health.

17. A method for recommending a program to improve or maintain pro-inflammatory immune health of a healthy individual comprising:
-
(a) establishing a benchmark pro-inflammatory protein value set of the value of pro-inflammatory protein at least at two time points in a 24 hour period in non-blood body fluid of healthy, individuals;
(b) determining an optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range from the benchmark pro-inflammatory protein value set established in (a) by using descriptive statistic methodology;
(c) establishing a pro-inflammatory protein value for said individual by measuring the value of the pro-inflammatory protein in non-blood body fluid of said individual wherein said value is determined by the same calculation as set forth in (a); and
(d) comparing the value in step (c) to the value in step (b), wherein a pro-inflammatory protein value for said individual that is within the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range is indicative of good pro-inflammatory immune health and wherein a pro-inflammatory protein value range outside the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range is indicative of inferior pro-inflammatory immune health (e) wherein when the pro-inflammatory protein value for said individual is within the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range the recommended program comprises instructions to continue practicing his or her current lifestyle factors;
(f) wherein when the pro-inflammatory protein value for said individual is outside the optimal pro-inflammatory protein value range, the recommended program comprises instructions to change current lifestyle factors. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
