| Allergy Testing Brigitte provides allergy testing in Somerset using the BEST system. Before looking at allergy testing you can explore more about allergies themselves. DEFINITION OF AN ALLERGY:
A mis-directed reaction of the body’s immune system : a protection reaction from inhalants, foods, injections or any substance perceived by the body as a threat.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ALLERGIES
- IgE - ONLY 5% OF RECORDED ALLERGIES – USUALLY DIGESTIVE AND RESPIRATORY REACTIONS.
These are easy to spot because they are immediate.
Once IgE antibodies are formed – they will be bind to the receptor sites of mast cells and trigger an allergic reaction each time we re-introduce the allergen.
Common SX: Hives/asthma/atopic eczema/hayfever/fatigue & anaphylactic shock
DELAYED FOOD INTOLERANCE – IgG/IgA/IgM
IgG: 75% of all antibodies which provoke hidden allergies – these can take up to 72 hours to manifest.
Typical symptoms:
• HEADACHES (INC. MIGRAINES)
• EYE INFLAMMATION (PAIN/BLURRED VISION/TEARS/LIGHT SENSITIVITY)
• EAR PROBLEMS: LOSS, GLUE EAR, TINNITUS
• CARDIOVASCULAR: ANGINA OR LOW BLOOD PRESSURE, IRREGULAR BEAT, FAST PULSE
• CONSTIPATION/DIARRHEA, NAUSEA, CELIAC, ULCERS, BLOATING, WIND ETC..
• RESPIRATORY: ASTHMA, CHRONIC RHINITIS, HAYFEVER, P/N DISCHARGE, WHEEZING
• MUSCULO-SKELETAL: O/A, JOINT PAINS, MUSCLE WEAKNESS, R/a
• CHRONIC FATIGUE: CANDIDA, ADHD, HYPO/ER GLYCEMIA, OBESITY, REPETITIVE VIRAL INFECTIONS
Suspected Causes:
• GENETIC
• ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
• LEAKY GUT
• VACCINATION TOO EARLY?
Various Diagnostic Methods:
• SKIN PRICK TEST
• SKIN SCRATCH TEST
• ELISA
• RAST
• APPLIED KINESIOLOGY
• EA MACHINES (VEGA/QUANTUM/BEST)
What happens after diagnosis:
• Cutting out allergens is not a long term option
• Healing the gut is a priority: I use nutrition, herbs & specific supplements
• Desensitisation therapy: Homeopathic drops – homeopathy
My protocol:
• I test on the BEST machine for
• Up to 180 food items or environmental allergens
• Vitamin/mineral deficiencies
• Overall body toxicity levels + immune system reaction
• Leaky gut test
• Digestive enzymes deficiencies
• Hormone inbalances
• Candida/parasite test
Healing modalities:
• I use nutritional therapy in all cases
• Homeopathic constitutional treatment & desensitisation drops.
• I repair the damaged gut walls (leaky gut syndrome) with herbs or specific amino acids
Once the gut is free from bacterial and/or parasitic infection and replenished with good bacteria, patients should allow some time to heal the leaky gut (this varies according to individual reactions).
A healthy gut is the key to good health and high energy levels. 50% of all the body’s energy is spent in digestion at the best of time. Individuals with digestive problems spend well in excess of 50% of their energy digesting which leaves very little time for anything else.
Improved digestion is equal to improved quality of life and high energy.
