Food and Chemical Sensitivity Testing

Is Your Food Making You Sick?
Discover the most recent advances in the dietary treatment of many common illnesses: Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Migraine & Other Headaches, Fibromyalgia, Celiac Disease, Heartburn/GERD, Arthritis, Joint & Muscle Pain, Eczema/Hives/Psoriasis, and Autism/ADD just to name a few. We offer food sensitivity testing and advanced nutrition protocols to provide cutting-edge technology to help you feel good again.

Clinical studies conclusively show that adverse food reactions can provoke the symptoms associated with a wide range of challenging clinical conditions. Triggers are highly patient-specific, there are usually many reactive foods and food-chemical triggers, and symptoms can manifest from 4 to 96 hours after ingestion. Properly targeted dietary therapy can have a tremendous impact, to the point of complete symptom remission. We offer complete care for Delayed Sensitivity Reactions caused by allergies from Foods, Food Additives, Food Colorings, Environmental Chemicals, Pharmacoactive Agents, and Molds.

Key Steps to Identify and Treat Your Food Triggers

• Extensive review of your medical condition and lifestyle
• Verify insurance coverage
• Arrange for blood draw
• Expert counseling by a Certified Food Sensitivity Therapist
• Medication review for reactive excipients
• Review of hidden sources of food allergens, reactive items and intolerances
• Construct a diet plan to get you into remission
• Assist with shopping and menu planning to make it practical
• Careful reintroduction of foods into diet
• Monitoring of symptoms
• Desensitization and normalization of food intake

Understanding Your Test Results

Food Sensitivity test results are presented in an easy to understand, color-coded format.  They highlight each patient's incompatible foods and the level of each reaction (severe, moderate, or mild).  The test results also clearly identify the foods which are non-reactive or "safe" foods by putting them in the green sections of the results and organizing them by food groups.

Implementing a Rotational Diet

Each test result also includes a customized Rotational Diet.  History has shown that variety in the human diet is very important to health and well being.  Research in physical anthropology and nutritional science has shown that the human digestive system is more suited to coping with a seasonal diet as opposed to the traditional Westernized diet.  By eating foods in a particular family one day and then omitting them for a least the next three days, a cumulative sensitizing effect is avoided.  This time allows the food molecules to "clear" the system, avoiding overload.

Technology

Food Sensitivity testing measures personalized nutrition at the cellular level.  The core technology is a blood test that measures the body's cellular response to challenges from a wide array of substances including various foods, additives, colorings and chemicals.  The individual's cellular reactivity after exposure of the blood to the various test agents, versus the person's own baseline control identifies which substances may be causing a sensitivity-related response in the body. 

The food sensitivity tests have been validated by demonstrating a high correlation with double-blind oral challenges with both foods and food additives.  A controlled study from Baylor Medical College reported 98% success for weight loss and/or improvement in body composition from patients that followed the recommended Rotational Diet, an unparalleled achievement.

 We believe Hippocrates was right over 2,500 years ago when he said, "let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food."
