Allergy Testing

Home›Therapies›Allergy Testing

The word allergy is often confused with intolerance however they are different.

"Allergy" is defined as "the body's immune system producing an antibody reaction to a particular food or chemical". Such reactions are acute for example, rashes, swellings, breathing problems, streaming eyes and nose etc.

"Intolerance", on the other hand, is an ecological illness, caused wholly or partially by sensitivity to foods and chemicals, but without provoking an antibody response by the immune system.

The role of our clinical ecology therapist is to identify the foods and or chemicals to which an individual is sensitive, to ascertain; if possible, what mechanism triggers the abnormal reaction. Of the various methods used to achieve this objective we have chosen to use the famous Vega Method to carry out the following tests for painless, efficient, cost-effective, immediate and accurate results.

If you suffer from any of the following conditions : IBS, weight gain/loss, eczema, headaches, constipation, diarrhoea, acne, aching joints & muscles, depression, chronic fatigue or mood swings (to name but a few) your digestive system and immune system are already seriously compromised and are crying out for you to make a change.

A person has a food allergy or intolerance when their body produces antibodies against a certain food (or environmental antigen such as pollen). These antibodies can be produced immediately, up to 72 hrs after the food has been ingested making the offending food hard to pin down.

The test is carried out using a Di etx Electro Dermal Screening Machine (similar to a VEGA test) and is painless. The test includes 106 different substances, including foods, environmental allergens and Vitamin & Mineral deficiencies, and gives you immediate results. You are given a full nutritional consultation and a personalised, holistic treatment programme designed to support you back to optimum health!
