Before Testing
Most problem foods need to be consumed prior to testing, especially for blood spot testing avoiding foods that cause problems would not show on testing, as the compounds would not be in the blood supply if avoided.You can choose what type of testing you like, we offer the industry standard IgE blood spot for true allergy reactions, and IgG blood spot for food intolerance reactions or you can choose the non blood method using our Bio Energetic Assessment system which is the very latest in Computerised Electro Dermal (Skin) Screening (CEDS). It ‘stress tests’ the body’s energy system to screen for a whole range of potential problems. The BioScan's substances have been converted to a digital format which are then presented to the body electrodermally (bio feedback ) the same technology that is used in hospitals to measure tiny electrical currents that the heart and brain emits.Many hundreds of substances can be tested using this method,its non invasive and offers an alternative to blood spot testing.
What is a Food Intolerance ?
Food intolernances/ food sensitvity is becoming more common,this type of reaction has more of a delayed reaction on the body ,these food intolerances can still make you feel unwell and are linked to many, many symptoms for example:-

Food additives are substances added to food to preserve flavour or improve its taste and appearance. With the advent of processed foods in the second half of the 20th Century many more additives have been introduced, of both natural and artificial origin.
Many Clients are unaware that Food additives/’E’ numbers are affecting them, but one of the most shocking and regularly taken in drinks is the artificial additives –Aspartame, Acuesflame, canderel, sweetex.
If you are low in vitamins, minerals, enzymes and essential fatty acids you will not be performing at your best and you are putting your health at risk.
Deficiencies and imbalances of vitamins, minerals, etc. can cause low energy, headaches, digestive complaints, skin and hair problems, joint pains and depression, just to name a few.
Essential Fatty Acids have desirable effects on many disorders. They improve the skin and hair, aid in the prevention of arthritis, lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. They are beneficial for Candida, Cardiovascular disease, Eczema and Psoriasis. They are needed for the development of a healthy brain, and a deficiency can cause memory loss and impaired recall.
There are 21 Amino Acids that make up just one protein cell. Protein cells are your Hair, Skin, Nails, Muscles, Bones, Joints, Organs, in fact your whole body is made up of these Amino Acids, they are part of every living cell. Deficiencies in these Amino Acids can cause: Chronic Fatigue, Brain Fog, Infections, Inflammation, Metabolism, Heart Disorders, Joint Problems, Poor Hair Growth, Muscle Weakness, Poor Skin Quality, Arthritis, Respiratory Disorders, Ulcers, Allergies, Blood Sugar Irregularities, Depression, Menstrual Irregularities, Diabetes, Pain and Low Mood.
We look at any digestive enzyme deficiencies that may be contributing to an impaired digestive system. We also test for Candida, a form of yeast fungus in the body that can be the cause of many unexplained illnesses. Lack of Digestive Enzymes can cause:-Acid Reflux, Bloating, Belching, Food Allergies, viral infections, inflammation, and injuries.
Our Bioresonance Scan chooses the very best Health Supplements especially tailored to your condition, you can even bring your own Supplements you use (up to maximum of 5).
Funguses are simple parasitic life forms which cause illness by direct poisoning, toxic by-products, allergic reactions and colonisation of body tissues e.g.: the skin.
We test for Asperigllus, which can cause coughing and wheezing attacks and bronchial problems. These are common moulds which are found in soil, dust and decaying leaves, usually moulds can be implicated in causing Rhinitis, stuffy nose and sinus problems.
We also test for Penicillium toxins, which are common and found in soil, decaying vegetation, food, house dust, wallpaper, moist chipboard and water damaged fabrics.
Yeast infections are common and the most recognised is Candida in its many forms. Candida Albicans is most commonly associated with vaginal symptoms, and can affect the mouth and skin and Colon, but there are other forms: Candida Glabrata, Krusei, Pnemoniae Psittaci and Trachomatis.
One of our most popular tests.
Metals cause some of the most hidden health problems on the planet. Do you actually know what is in your water?? Yes, Aluminium. It can cause havoc with the skin, and can be responsible for Eczema, Dry Skin and Contact Dermatitis. Aluminium is a hidden danger and is found in water, aluminium cooking foil, cooking pans, deodorants, bleached flour, table salt and baking flour. Aluminium can affect the brain and slows learning, is this one of the causes of Alzheimer’s?
Aluminium is also found in processed cheese, is masked as anti-caking agents in food.
“Large numbers of people in our aluminium-using society are the victims of slow aluminium poisoning” wrote Stephen E Levick, MD of the Yale University School of Medicine, and said that there has been an increasing amount of literature implicating aluminium as the cause of dementia or mental deterioration.
