Today on one of the morning news shows they had a story about food allergies being overdiagnosed in children.  Of course, it caught my attention.  The point they were making was that the immediate-type reactions (IgE) are being overdiagnosed by doctors with skin tests and blood tests.  These IgE reactions are the ones that give you hives and make your throat swell. They can be deadly.  When you have an IgE reaction you have to avoid that food at all cost.

It’s important to remember that at Ideal Health we test for IgG reactions.  These reactions are the hidden ones that don’t show any symptoms immediately but may even take days to appear.  They  can cause anything from a headache to fatigue to hyperactivity and so on.  If anything, these are under-diagnosed, because most regular doctors are not familiar with or trained in this type of cutting-edge testing. After taking Ideal Health’s AllerTest, you will get a report back that will tell you not only how much of an sensitivity you have but also give you information on how to “fix it” in some cases.  For many people, after following their individual guidelines and using the AllerCaps, they can introduce the food back into their diet and eat it from time to time.

I am happy to see that doctors like myself are questioning the way they have done things in the past and perhaps are open and  willing to change the way they do things in the future. 

I recommend that everyone take their health into their own hands and get tested today with the Ideal Health AllerTest.
