Food Sensitivity Testing

It is helpful to test for food sensitivities when you are struggling with digestive problems, inflammatory conditions and skin reactions/rashes that are chronic or worsening. This type of testing is different from allergy testing as it is not related to hives, allergic reactions or anaphylactic shock. Food sensitivities tend to cause inflammation in some form or another but without the concern of serious or life-threatening complications.

There are various ways to test for food sensitivities but Marlene uses Biomeridian Testing. This system is a computerized bio-energetic testing device that is non-invasive and there is little to no discomfort. Electromagnetic measurements are taken over certain body points, generally on the hands in much the same way an electrocardiogram registers electrical current into the heart. The procedure is simple. The patient holds a blunt brass electrode while a small stylus is applied to an acupressure point on the surface of the skin. A low level, non-perceivable stimulus is then applied, and the reaction of the body is measured and recorded by the computer. There are no side effects with this procedure and there is no discomfort, no piercing of the skin, and no electrical impulses are felt during the testing. This system is able to identify sensitivity and intolerance quickly, painlessly and with 86% or higher accuracy. It has been approved for clinical use by the US FDA since 1996. You get your results immediately and will know exactly which foods you should avoid and the foods you can eat instead.
