food allergy & intolerance testing

 

 

 

Headaches, migraines, tiredness, fatigue, weight problems, eczema, psoriasis, asthma, catarrh, sinus congestion, IBS, digestive disorders, anxiety, M.E. and depression.

These, and many other complaints may be due to food hypersensitivities or atopic conditions.

If you suffer with any of the above complaints, an hour’s test could seriously change your life!

 

This system is based on the theory of utilising acupuncture points on the fingers or toes to measure resistance in the body to substances the patient wishes to be tested for.

The machine used is the RM10S manufactured by the German Med-Tronic Company. The RM10S is registered medical testing equipment under German and European law.  This unit provides a method of non-invasive painless testing with the scope to test as many substances of which the tester has samples.

The patient holds an electrode in one hand that is connected to the testing unit and a probe is placed on an acupuncture pressure point on a finger or toe on the opposite side of the body, thus placing the patient in a circuit with the machine. Samples of the potential allergen are placed in the diagnostic unit which will then indicate whether there is any resistance from the patient to the substance in question.

The basic allergy and intolerance test will give results on over 150 foods and environmental substances plus a vitamin and mineral deficiency test. The patient’s results are recorded, after which advice as to how to eliminate the offending foods is given. In addition, if deemed necessary, then appropriate supplementation will be recommended. It is recommended to have a follow up appointment for a retest after a period of between 4 and 12 weeks depending on the specific results so that progress can be monitored.

 

After 3 months on the elimination programme the patient is advised on the safe re-introduction of foods back into their diets.  Atopic conditions (allergies) have a predisposition to run in families presenting in diverse symptoms and at different times in life and often working with all family members can be advantageous.
