There is a wide variety of health issues that people suffer from everyday, not because they neglect their issues, but because they have yet to find the right solution. There are many components to our health that are looked at during a diagnosis process including the effectiveness of internal bodily functions, mental stability, and affecting daily activities. However, a person’s diet may be overlooked. It is important to realize that the food we consume may have more affects on our bodies than thought possible.
Health issues such as arthritis, aches and pains in joints and muscles, skin disorders, immunity deficiencies, obesity, fatigue, and more can be the effect of consuming certain foods. If you have never thought to have an allergy test done, you may be unknowingly fueling your own health problems.
The ALCAT allergy test is different than many other allergy tests because of how they issue results. Rather than either a yes or no answer as to what foods you are allergic to, the ALCAT test takes into account different types of allergies and sensitivities. Once the test is completed, ALCAT sends our medical center back a packet of results which fully codes and rates all the foods you are incompatible with and shows us exactly how severe your divergence to them is. ALCAT will also outline a 4-day diet that is specifically crafted around your results as to ensure you follow the recommendations.
What most people are not aware of is the fact that delayed onset food sensitivity exists. What this means is that, for example, the banana you ate today may not affect you until 2 or 3 days later. By this time, you usually do not think to consider this food item you consumed as your source of the health problem you are currently experiencing. Most allergy tests do not account for this type of food sensitivity. However, the ALCAT test works in a way different than a typical allergy test would.
By allowing us to take a simple blood sample from you, Atlanta Medical Center is able to administer an ALCAT test for you. We send your blood sample to ALCAT’s main lab in Florida, where the blood is analyzed. A series of testing is done on your blood at the cellular level in order to record responses to exposure to a variety of foods, substances, chemicals, and coloring. This measuring is able to provide you with very revealing results.
Once results are rendered and appropriate food adjustments are made, you will start to see changes in your everyday health. Sometimes, the way to see improvements in your health is simple as changing your diet. For more information on food allergy testing, visit www.ALCAT.com.
