Upper Endoscopy & Colonoscopy

The G101 Screening Test (101-item Chronic Allergen Test) is a comprehensive, standalone panel offered by Excelsior Bio-System (EBS) through iHope Clinic, specifically designed to evaluate delayed immune sensitivities.

G101 Test Overview

• Testing Methodology: Uses microarray chip technology via a blood sample to measure specific IgG antibodies. Unlike immediate reactions, IgG responses are delayed—often taking hours or days to trigger symptoms.

• IgG Chronic Sensitivity Scope (101 Items): Focuses exclusively on 101 dietary items across major food categories:

  • Dairy Products: Milk, cheese, yogurt, egg white, egg yolk.

  • Grains & Nuts: Rice, wheat, buckwheat, corn, soybean, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cashew nuts, sesame seed, etc.

  • Meats & Seafood: Pork, beef, lamb, chicken, duck, shrimp, crab, squid, salmon, tuna, oysters, etc.

  • Fruits & Vegetables: Spinach, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, apples, bananas, mangoes, pineapples, grapes, etc.

  • Yeast, Beverages & Spices: Yeast, tea, coffee, cocoa, honey, scallions, ginger, garlic, curry, chili, basil, and traditional herbal ingredients (e.g., ginseng, licorice, reishi).

Who It's For The G101 is ideal if you experience long-term, low-grade discomforts—such as chronic bloating, sluggish digestion, unexplained brain fog, skin flare-ups, or persistent fatigue—and want to build a targeted elimination or rotation diet without testing for acute environmental allergies.

iHope Clinic: Available Wednesdays & Thursdays only.

Get a complete, non-invasive evaluation of your entire upper and lower digestive tract under painless sedation. This combined procedure visualizes the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and large intestine to detect ulcers, inflammation, polyps, and early signs of gastrointestinal disease.

Who It's For

• Digestive Symptom Investigation: Individuals experiencing persistent heartburn, acid reflux, stomach pain, chronic bloating, unexplained nausea, or changes in bowel habits (e.g., chronic diarrhea or constipation).

• Colorectal & Gastric Screening: Anyone aged 45+ or those with a personal or family history of gastrointestinal polyps, stomach cancer, or colorectal cancer. (Rather than waiting for symptoms or the public age 45 threshold, many adults in Taiwan electively book this screening between ages 30 and 40+.)

• Comprehensive Gut Health Check: Patients seeking a full top-to-bottom screening of their digestive system in a single, painless appointment.

What's Included & Why It Matters

1. Painless Upper Endoscopy (Gastroscopy)

• Upper GI Inspection: Direct visual examination of the lining of your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum using a high-definition endoscope.

• Why It Matters: Identifies gastritis, ulcers, H. pylori infection, hiatus hernia, and early upper GI lesions.

2. Painless Colonoscopy

• Lower GI Inspection: Full visual evaluation of the entire large intestine (colon) and rectum.

• Why It Matters: The gold standard for detecting and preventing colorectal cancer through early identification of precancerous polyps.

3. Conscious Sedation / Anesthesia

• Painless Comfort: Administered by trained medical staff to ensure you remain completely comfortable and pain-free throughout both procedures.

4. English Report of Results

• Official Clinical Findings: A detailed analytical report provided in English for your medical records.

• Why It Matters: Offers precise diagnostic insights to share with your gastroenterologist or primary care physician for ongoing care.

How It Works

1. Medication Adjustments (1 Week Prior): Stop taking blood thinners (e.g., Aspirin) and health supplements (such as Fish Oil, Ginseng, Ginkgo, Vitamin E, Lutein, Turmeric, Natto, or Red Yeast Rice) 7 days before your exam.

2. Diet Prep (2 Days Prior): Switch to a low-residue diet (e.g., plain porridge, plain noodles, white toast, or low-residue meal replacements) to reduce intestinal stool.

3. Bowel Prep (1 Day Prior & Exam Morning): Take your prescribed bowel cleansing agent (e.g., Bowklean) in two split doses as instructed, drinking plenty of water/sports drinks until your stool is a clear, light yellowish liquid.

4. Fasting & Water Ban: Stop all water intake 4 hours before the examination to prevent aspiration during anesthesia.

5. Procedure & Recovery: The painless procedure takes place under sedation. Afterwards, you will rest in the recovery area until the sedative wears off.

Good to Know

• Report Delivery: Your complete English report will be ready in 7–10 business days.

• Transportation Safety: Because you will receive sedation, you must not drive, ride a bicycle, or operate machinery after the procedure. Walking and taxi is okay.

• Clinic Rules: Do not wear contact lenses or nail polish/gel polish on the day of the exam, as these interfere with vital sign monitoring.

• On-Site Medical Procedures: Biopsies, tissue removal, polyp removal, hemostatic clips, or H. pylori testing performed based on the doctor's judgment during the scan are separate medical treatments and incur additional fees at check-out.

• Medication Guidance: If you take diabetes medications or anticoagulants, consult your physician for exact suspension instructions. Continue taking chronic constipation medications as usual.

Please note: Only consider this add-on if you've selected to do the Digestive: Colonoscopy & Upper Endoscopy. 

An H. pylori biopsy is an invasive, highly accurate (over 95%) diagnostic method performed during an upper endoscopy (EGD) to detect Helicobacter pylori bacteria in the stomach lining. Small tissue samples are collected and analyzed via rapid urease testing (RUT), histopathology (microscopic exam), or culture, generally recommended when non-invasive tests are inconclusive or when assessing for damage.

Test Name: FloraUp®

Method: Non-invasive Stool Sample Collection, Stool Analysis, Intestinal Microbiota Sequencing, using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology.

Key Analyses (Guarding the Whole Intestine): Individual Enterotype Analysis, Intestinal Age Analysis, Beneficial/Harmful Bacteria Analysis, SCFA Synthesis Capability, Vitamin Synthesis Capability, Health Risk Assessment.

Target Groups (Those who should consider the test): People who eat out for all three meals, those with gastrointestinal discomfort, those with low immunity, those with chronic diseases, those lacking exercise, those taking medicine long-term, those with irregular diet and lifestyle, and those concerned about their own health.

Overall Process and What to Expect:

• Step 1: Sample Collection: iHope Clinic will provide you the stool sample kit and they will process it for you by sending it to a CLIA/CAP-accredited laboratory.

• Step 2: DNA Sequencing: The lab uses metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing (mNGS) to analyze all the microbial DNA in your sample. Rather than checking for just a few common bacteria, it reads thousands of microbes (bacteria, fungi, phages, parasites) present in your digestive tract.

• Step 3: Microbiome Mapping: The data maps out your gut biodiversity, identifying missing beneficial strains, overgrowths, and markers related to digestion, inflammation, and gut-brain function. Please reach out to hello@newdawn.health if you would like to view the sample report. 

Blood Purification Therapy (DFPP)

Advanced Cellular Detoxification & Cardiovascular Care

Blood purification is an advanced medical treatment utilizing Double Filtration Plasmapheresis (DFPP) technology. The process gently circulates blood outside the body, separating plasma from cellular components to filter out harmful, large-molecule toxins—including excess cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammatory markers, and heavy metals—before returning the cleansed, revitalized blood to your system.

Unlike renal dialysis, DFPP is a proactive, preventative therapy designed to optimize vascular health, enhance metabolic function, and strengthen long-term immunity.

How It Works

1. Precision Separation: The primary filter gently separates red and white blood cells from your blood plasma.

2. Targeted Micro-Filtration: The plasma passes through a secondary, high-precision membrane that selectively removes low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, inflammatory factors, free radicals, and heavy metals.

3. Re-infusion & Renewal: Cleansed plasma is recombined with your blood cells and safely returned to your bloodstream.

Key Health Benefits

• Cardiovascular Protection: Significantly reduces key risk factors for atherosclerosis, stroke, and myocardial infarction.

• Enhanced Circulation: Decreases blood viscosity, optimizing systemic microcirculation and oxygen delivery.

• Cellular Metabolism: Delivers a systemic "deep clean" that stimulates cell activation and metabolic efficiency.

• Symptom Relief: Targeted therapy for hyperlipidemia, high uric acid, and systemic chronic inflammation.

Ideal Candidates

• Metabolic Health Management: Individuals managing high blood lipids, elevated cholesterol, or hypertension.

• Cardiovascular Prevention: Those with a personal or family history of vascular conditions or stroke.

• High-Stress & Modern Lifestyles: Professionals navigating high stress, irregular sleep, frequent travel, smoking, or alcohol consumption.

The GE110 Screening Test (66 IgE + 44 IgG) is an entry-level panel offered by Excelsior Bio-System (EBS) through iHope Clinic for comprehensive allergy and sensitivity screening.

GE110 Test Overview

• Testing Methodology: Uses microarray chip technology via a single blood draw to simultaneously check acute allergic responses and chronic food sensitivities.

• IgE Acute Allergen Component (66 Items): Measures IgE antibodies for immediate, classic allergic reactions (e.g., hives, sneezing, acute swelling). It covers 22 environmental allergens (dust mites, cockroach mix, animal dander, molds, and pollens) plus 44 acute food items (dairy, seafood, meat, fruits, grains, and vegetables).

• IgG Chronic Sensitivity Component (44 Items): Measures IgG antibodies to identify delayed food sensitivities and intolerances. This panel screens 44 specific food items across major dietary groups (dairy/eggs, seafood/meat, fruits, grains/vegetables, yeast, and honey) that may trigger delayed low-grade inflammation, chronic fatigue, or digestive discomfort.

Who It's For

The GE110 is ideal if you have persistent, unexplained symptoms (such as skin irritation, bloating, or chronic fatigue) and want an affordable, data-backed baseline screening before committing to full high-density panels.

The GE224 Screening Test (224-item Acute and Chronic Allergen Test) is the most comprehensive, top-tier panel offered by Excelsior Bio-System (EBS) through iHope Clinic providing complete 360-degree immune profiling.

GE224 Test Overview

• Testing Methodology: Uses high-density microarray chip technology via a single blood sample to evaluate both immediate reactions and delayed sensitivities simultaneously.

• IgE Acute Allergen Component (123 Items): Measures IgE antibodies responsible for classic, fast-acting allergies (such as hives, nasal congestion, or asthma). It screens 22 environmental allergens (dust mites, cockroaches, animal dander, molds, pollens) alongside 101 acute food items.

• IgG Chronic Sensitivity Component (101 Items): Measures IgG antibodies for delayed food intolerances. It tests 101 dietary items across every major category—dairy/eggs, meats, seafood, grains, fruits, vegetables, spices, beverages, and traditional herbal medicines (such as ginseng and reishi)—to identify hidden sources of chronic internal inflammation.

Who It's For The GE224 is designed for individuals seeking complete clarity on their body's unique immune triggers. It is particularly beneficial if you deal with complex, multi-system issues (e.g., combining skin flare-ups with chronic digestive distress or brain fog), follow a diverse or complex diet, or want a definitive roadmap to structure both environmental avoidance and dietary planning.
