Welcome to Allergy Test Clinic

What are allergies?

A survey of 5200 people in the UK carried out in January 2007 by Allergy UK (a medical charity founded in 1991) showed 59% reported themselves as having food intolerance and 41% having classic food allergy symptoms. The full report can be seen at www.allergyuk.org under the "Stolen Lives 3" report. A startling statistic was that 67% stated that their GP did not understand their food problems.

Allergies and intolerances are disorders of the immune system. When the body comes into contact with a substance it can not tolerate, it can cause an exaggerated response. If you have a reaction to a particular food or substance in the environment (allergen) you are said to be allergic to, or intolerant of it. In this way, allergies are the body's way of eliminating something it considers unsuitable, and can be responsible for many complaints.

If you suffer from Digestive Disorders, Headaches and Migraine, Tiredness and Fatigue, Weight Problems, Eczema and Skin Complaints, Asthma, Arthritis, Catarrh and Sinus Congestion, IBS, Anxiety, Depression or Hyperactivity, allergy testing could change your life.

During your consultation, we will test for over 100 food, drink and environmental substances. You will leave knowing exactly what you are sensitive to and how to avoid these in order to lead a more comfortable life. Your test will produce immediate results and also includes a free vitamin and mineral deficiency check.

Testing Methods

The testing method used is one of several capable of use within the field of Bio-Electronic Regulatory Medicine (BER). This system is based on the theory of utilising the acupuncture pressure points on the fingers or toes to measure resistance in the body to substances the client wishes to be tested for. The machine used is the RM10S manufactured by the German Med-Tronic Company. This unit provides a method of non-invasive painless testing with the scope to test as many substances as the tester has samples of. 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 include over 100 substances and a vitamin and mineral deficiency test. The patient's results are recorded by the tester, after which advice as to how to eliminate the offending foods is given. In addition, if deemed necessary, then appropriate supplementation will be recommended. Testers recommend 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 successfully following the elimination programme, the patient is advised on the safe re-introduction of foods back into their diets.
