FOOD INTOLERANCE TESTING
What is Food Intolerance?
Our diet plays a critical role in preventing a wide range of degenerative diseases and premature aging. The immune system is a double-edged sword. It should react appropriately and protect against infection when confronted with harmful invaders or infectious agents like viruses or bacteria.
Unfortunately for some, exposure to common foods, chemicals and molds may trigger chronic activation of the immune system, leading to a wide variety of conditions linked to chronic activation of the immune system, such as: Digestive Disorders, Migraines, Obesity, Chronic Fatigue, Aching Joints, Skin Disorders, Autism and many more.
How is Food Intolerance treated?
For over 20 years, the ALCAT Test has provided healthcare professionals and their patients with a tool for managing Food Intolerance. Cell Science Systems developed the ALCAT Test to measure personalized nutrition at the cellular level.
How does the ALCAT Test work?
The core technology is a blood test that measures the body's cellular response to challenges from a wide array of substances including various foods, additives, colorings and chemicals. The individual's cellular reactivity after exposure of the blood to the various test agents, versus the person's own baseline control, tells the healthcare provider which substances may be causing a sensitivity-related response in the body. Based on the test results, a 4-Day Rotational Diet is recommended to the patient (see below).
The ALCAT Test has been validated by demonstrating a high correlation with double-blind oral challenges with both foods and food additives. In addition, a controlled study from Baylor Medical College reported 98% success for weight loss and/or improvement in body composition
from patients that followed the recommended ALCAT Rotational Diet, an unparalleled achievement.
How do I read my ALCAT Test results?
The ALCAT Test results are presented in an easy to understand, color-coded format. They highlight the patient's incompatible foods and chemicals, and the level of each reaction (severe, moderate or mild). The ALCAT Test results also clearly identify the foods and chemicals which are non-reactive or "safe" by putting them in the green section of the results and organizing them by groups.
How does the 4-Day Rotational Diet work?
The patient's test result includes a customized 4-Day Rotational Diet. History has shown that variety in the human diet is very important to health and wellbeing. Research in physical anthropology and nutritional science has shown that the human digestive system is more suited to coping with a seasonal diet as opposed to the traditional Westernized diet. By eating foods in a particular family one day and then omitting them for at least the next three days, a cumulative sensitizing effect is avoided. This time allows the food molecules to "clear" the system, avoiding overload.
