“Our group has been using the PLUS Cardiac Test (GD Biosciences, Inc, Irvine, CA)”
It is the PULS test, not the PLUS test. “Baseline IL-16 increased from 35=/-20 above the norm to 82 =/- 75 above the norm post-vac; sFas increased from 22+/- 15 above the norm to 46=/-24 above the norm post-vac; HGF increased from 42+/-12 above the norm to 86+/-31 above the norm post-vac.”
All those “=/-“ should be “+/-“.
The PULS Test web site does not list any company name anywhere, even on the “Contact Us” page. The paper identifies GD Biosciences, Inc, Irvine, CA, but that company name is not on the web site.
The web page does not list any research papers validating or evaluating the PULS test.
The author (Steven R Gundry) does not list any credentials other than his “group,” The International Heart and Lung Institute, Palm Springs, CA.
These may be minor things, but they all seem odd. It reads like a promotion to sell the PULS test kits.

AS I originally thought when I read his name, this is the same Dr. Gundry who has been featured at PBS. Dr. Gundry is a cardiothoracic surgeon who also augmented his career by providing dietary consulting through The Center for Restorative Medicine, a branch of his private surgery practice.
From Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Gundry
He is a former cardiac surgeon and currently runs his own clinic, investigating the impact of diet on health. Gundry conducted cardiac surgery research in the 1990s and was a pioneer in infant heart transplant surgery, and is a New York Times best-selling author of The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in “Healthy” Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain.
