  my doctor does not approve of these kinds of allergy tests and say its not a proven valuble method of allergy testing. why is that?

• 2. Graham Holden  |  June 7th, 2008 at 8:56 am

  Your doctor doesnt approve probably because he / she doesnt understand the process or hasnt been trained on the devices. They are extremely accurate and without fail detect allergies, intolerances and deficiencies, virtually every doctors surgery in Germany has one of these devices.

  Doctors in the Uk tend to dish out antihistamines, asthma inhalers, creams or steroids without even having the remotest clue of what a cause might be and this can go on for years.

  In my own case, as with thousands of other documented cases. my complaint was never diagnosed for 7 years, in which time I had spent countless thousands of pounds of fees to a wide range of specialists, who all had their wild guesses (that were miles off) where as a simple test lasting 1 hour with an allergy UK tester pinpointed one substance that these doctors did not even come close to.

  So, I dumped my inhalers, 27 packets of tablets, 16 creams, just because my body doesnt like — wait for it — Tuna…

  And Im fine…. comical isnt it, if you want my advice, take a test and dont wast your time at the doctors surgery, they havent got a single clue…

  As Graham says these devices are 100% accurate, the method has been subject to clinical trials in Germany. The devices are registered medical testing equipment under German and European law. Many doctors in Germany, Holland and Scandinavia use these in their surgeries as a simple diagnostic tool.

  Find out the cause of your problem don’t keep surpressing the symptoms with prescription drugs or you will end up with a comprimised immune system and become more and more allergic. Using anti-hystamines and pain killers is like turning the fire alarm but leaving the fire burning! Get to the under lying cause, the source of problem and the symtoms will disappear.

  I am currently studying for a Diploma in Allergy University of Greenwick. Although the NHS does not support our testing method the US FDA have given it approval as an investigational device .Golan R (1995). Optimal Wellness. Ballantine, New York.
  FDA registered (reg, no. 882.5050) Also 100,000 medical and health care professionals use them through out Europe. The worry that the GMC has is that elimination diets can leave clients nutritional compromised. We at Allergy Test UK give diet sheets which states not just what to eat but more importantly the alternatives . We attend Continuous Professional Development weekends at least twice per year. We have supportive advice from a qualified nutritionalist As part of a UK testing team we always refer if necessary. So when you take a test with any of our members it is a very comprehensive. As a statement of House of Lords White Paper September 2007 refering to allergy treatment in the NHS stated. “The service the NHS delivers is diabolical.” No wonder so many of the population turn to us for help and support.

  The NHS say that the worry is that people will become nutritionally deficient on an elimination diet and as a company we guard against this very carefully and comprehensively but I think there is more to it than that. My unease stems from knowing that pharmeceutical producers fund medical research for the British Medical Association (BMA) just as the amalgam companies fund research for The British Dental Association (BDA).
  If food intolerances are dealt with comprehensively on a nationwide scale the numbers in sales for many many products will fall dramatically. Products such as off the shelf indigestion remedies, like Gaviscon all the way through to prescription drugs like mebevarin and ventolin.
  There is no interest for the pharmaceuticals in allergy testing because it locates the root cause and eliminates the need for surpressing medication such as anti-hystamines. Could this be why the BMA won’t approve our method?????

  I have two daughters aged 20 mths and 4yrs the youngest suffers from bad eczema and the eldest from hay fever. Would this test determine A) which pollen my eldest is allergic to and B) what causes (if anything) the eczema reactions on my baby daughter??

• 7. sam thompson  |  June 17th, 2008 at 4:50 pm

  Gemma, our test includes 8 different pollens so if it is a pollen we will get a good idea. However sometimes hayfever is as a result of some other underlying food allergies so we would be able to identify that as well Yes eczema is more often than not caused by food allergies and mostly by dairy products although it could be yeast. So to sum up the answer to both of your questions is yes. If you request a test on our home page we can put you in touch with your nearest tester.

  I have a 18 month old son who has mild eczema, it is only concentrated on the face and around the back of his neck, in additional to this he frequently gets a rash either on his back or on his head.

  I would like to know if the allergy test would pinpoint what causes the eczema and the rash?

• 10. samantha thompson  |  June 24th, 2008 at 9:03 pm

  Temi
  Aloe Propolis cream and pure aloe vera are extremely effective on most types of eczema, the best brand is from Forever Living Products which I can supply you with if you would like. Take your baaby off dairy products as well, give him Nanny Goats Formula (available from good health food shops) or soya formula and soya yoghurts etc.

• 11. samantha thompson  |  June 24th, 2008 at 9:05 pm

  Shai,
  Allergy Testing will pinpoint which foods your son is not tolerating and therefore causing the eczema and the rash whereabouts are you in the country? We will put you in touch with your nearest tester.

  does anyone know any over the counter products to relieve the pain of atopic dermatitis? Lotions do not work well with my skin because I get a rash from all that alcohol. Do you know of any creams?

  My son is 10 months old and has been battling with eczema since he was about 4 months old -around the time i started introducing solids. I am trying to remove cow’s milk from his diet - to my doctors dismay - and was wondering if goat’s milk would be better for him as I hear babies are sometimes allergic to soya as well. If goats milk is better, how is it different from cow’s milk and how soon should I see an improvement if milk is the problem?

  I use Sesame oil (cold pressed) on my son’s arms twice a day for about 2 weeks. It totally cleared up. Every now and again it re-appears slightly and after a few days of Sesame it goes again.

  Personally I drop a few capfuls in the bath too…
