How To: AFFORDABLE Food Sensitivity Test (IgG)

People often ask me, “What is the cheapest way to get a food sensitivity test?”

They add, “I don’t have insurance.”

The following steps outline the cheapest way to get a food sensitivity (hidden food allergy) test:

1. Order the $10 test kit from Alletess Labs website – www.foodallergy.com The kit arrives with paperwork for you and items for the physician/clinic.

2. When filling out the paperwork check either “96″ food panel IgG OR “184″ food panel IgG. Checkmark “Diet” too. Fill in the Patient Info area. Next, select the option to “bill patient directly” (that’s you) and select “credit card” as the payment method. Fill in your credit card info.
[NOTE: Your card will be charged about $120 for 96 foods option w diet.]
[NOTE: The 184 foods panel will cost about $220 w diet.]
[NOTE: Test results will be sent to the clinic-- NOT to you.]

3. Take the kit to a walk in clinic OR affordable testing center and tell them you want to pay to get your blood drawn for the test kit you are holding. A charge for a blood draw should be about $20-$30
[NOTE: Not every clinic will draw your blood for a medical test that you purchased outside of their office.]

4. The clinic should call you when your test results are available to pick up in about 2-3 weeks. Go pick up your test results, or if they require, schedule an appointment.
[NOTE: You might have to pay for a doctor's visit, but since you paid the lab directly with your credit card they cannot pad the cost of the test.]

If you don’t already know how to read the test results then you will still need someone to explain your test results to you.

How he lost 25 Pounds in 14 Days without Counting Calories

A friend lost 25 pounds in 14 days without counting calories. What happened?

After getting tested for hidden food allergies I saw on his test results that many foods received very high sensitivity scores, higher than normal. As a result,when those foods were eliminated from his diet he lost a lot of water weight.

Why water weight?

When you eat food your body doesn’t like your immune system is activated producing inflammation which requires lots of water. And Mathew Dixon’s body has a serious dislike for certain foods. Many other chronic health issues that Mathew had also disappeared – sleep apnea, cedar fever, and low energy. But has he kept the weight off? Listen below to find out!

What Product will eventually replace IgG Food Allergy Testing?

Since I’ve been watching the news headlines about food allergies I’ve come to the conclusion that western medicine will only acknowledge the importance of food sensitivities (aka. hidden food allergies) only when it becomes profitable for them to do so.

For example, integrative medicine heals food allergies by addressing the root of the problem via: reducing toxicity, boosting immunity, and reducing exposure to allergen allowing natural healing process.) In contrast, western medicine chooses to explore ways to heal food allergies by exploring only these options: medication and vaccines (which increases toxicity), and oral immunotherapy (which increases allergen exposure).

The most interesting advancement to date by western medicine is on online product planned for release next year, an online allergy “calculator” that claims 97% accuracy in identifying cow dairy, egg and peanut allergies. Details about the Cork-Southampton calculator are published in the Journal of Allergy & Immunology. It’s interesting to note that the patient must undergo a food elimination diet before the calculator will be useful.

In conclusion, patients can get the exact same results as the “online calculator” just by following a food elimination diet and monitoring all reactions. Of course, my recommendation is to just get tested for hidden food allergies (IgG antibodies in blood.) The IgG tests just take all the work and guess work out of the traditional food elimination diet and it detects allergies as well as sensitivities, and it doesn’t put the patient’s health at risk.

Vitamin D deficiency linked to Allergies in Children

from the Washington Post:

A study analyzed data on 6,590 people …

“Among the youths, food and environmental allergies were greater in those with lower levels of Vitamin D. Young people deficient in Vitamin D were about twice as likely as those with higher levels of the nutrient to have peanut or ragweed allergies and nearly five times as likely to be allergic to oak. …..  In adults, however, no link was found between Vitamin D levels and allergen sensitivity.”

A very entertaining and revealing video on why you should always read the ingredients on every item before you buy. It also explains a lot as to why Americans are so fat. Hydrogenated fat, sugar and food dye – oh my!
