When
most people think of allergies what comes to mind is stuffy nose,
watery or itchy eyes. The truth behind allergies is often the missing
link with many health concerns. Allergies can affect every aspect of ones body. Beginning from the head down they can cause itchy scalp or skin, watery itchy eyes, runny or stuffy nose, sinusitis, sore gums or teeth, swollen lymph glands, arthritis like pain, joint pain, muscle fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, bloating, constipation or diarrhea, IBS, colitis. They can cause bronchitis, asthma, headaches, fatigue and numerous symptoms. One of the reasons people suffer from violent to mild allergic reactions is that their immune systems mistakenly identify substances like pollen, dust or certain foods as foreign invaders, and to retaliate, our system produces substances called IgEs for the immediate reactions and IgGs for the delayed reactions. This sets up an immune reaction which causes many of the symptoms mentioned above. Test results come with a personalized treatment plan for food allergy called True Relief™, a medically advanced rotation diet guide. This innovative and flexible guide clearly explains the principles behind food allergies, rotation diet, elimination and reintroduction of foods, and allows patients to see at a glance what their problem foods and dietary choices are. The Comprehensive Antibody Assessment is also valuable as a preventive measure for patients who are not currently experiencing the overt symptoms of an allergic reaction. It can reveal unsuspected food allergies which, if ignored, may place cumulative stress on the immune system over time—setting the stage for the development of more severe illness in the future. Using
state-of-the-art ELISA technology, the Comprehensive Antibody Assessment
identifies hypersensitivities to over 120 of the most commonly encountered
types of food and environmental substances.
