Food Allergy Testing - Alcat

Food Sensitivity Testing: What is the ALCAT?

The ALCAT food sensitivity test is a minimally invasive blood test that accurately and reproducibly measures biological cellular reactivity in whole blood. Unlike standard IgG tests, which rely exclusively on one immune pathway and merely detects exposure, the ALCAT test is the premier test for detecting food, mold and chemical sensitivities/intolerances. Studies show the ALCAT test to be 83.4% accurate with foods and 96% accurate with food additives, as compared with the Gold Standard - a double blind oral challenge.

For over 20 years, the ALCAT Test has provided both patients as well as healthcare professionals with a tool to successfully overcome a wide variety of conditions which result from food and chemical intolerances. How the ALCAT Test Works

The ALCAT test objectively measures changes in size and number of white blood cells in response to ex vivo challenges with foods, chemicals and other environmental stimuli. Scores are generated by relating the patients' own blood without test substrate to their tested, reactive blood. Results are designated into four categories - Severe Intolerance, Moderate Intolerance, Mild Intolerance and Acceptable Foods - on a color coded report that is accessible online by the prescribing doctor or by hard copy. Included in the results is an individualized rotation diet.

Health Problems Linked to Food Intolerance

Beyond hormone imbalances, serious health conditions are caused by food, environmental pollution, and the lack of exercising. Those serious health problems related to hidden food allergies can include:

• Migraines
• Fatigue
• Chronic inflammation
• Eczema
• Weight loss
• Aching joints
• Weight gain
• Gastrointestinal disorders
• Asthma
• Cardiovascular disease

The results will detail the foods that the patient has severe, moderate, or mild intolerance of and will list acceptable foods that their body will respond best to. Foods that fall under severe intolerance should be avoided for at least 6 months. Foods under moderate intolerance should be avoided for 3-6 months and foods under mild intolerance should just be avoided when possible.

The Process

The Food Sensitivity and Allergies (ALCAT) program starts simply with the patient choosing one of three options. Platinum Comprehensive 200 Food Panel 10 Food Additives 10 Food Colorings 10 Antibiotics 10 Anti-inflammatory Agents 10 Environmental Chemicals 20 Molds 50 Functional Foods and Medicinal Herbs There are many ways to find a panel that is right for you.

Comprehensive Wellness 6 (120 Items) Description: 100 Food Panel, 10 Food Additives/10 Food Colorings Panel

 The most exciting step is the Action Plan which guides patients on their customized nutrition track. This includes a rotation diet guide which details the optimal food schedule for the patient's body and health.

Three choices and three steps are all that it takes to gain a healthier lifestyle through the ALCAT program.
