The ALCAT Food and Chemical Sensitivity/Intolerance Test
Many years ago, Lucretius expressed the basic concept for The ALCAT Test. he stated, "One man's meat is another man's poison." Now, more than ever, diet plays a critical role in preventing a wide range of degenerative diseases and premature aging.
The immune system is a double-edged sword. It should react appropriately and protect against infection when confronted with harmful invaders or "infectious agents," like viruses or bacteria. Unfortunately for some, exposure to common foods, chemicals and molds may trigger chronic activation of the immune system.
For over 24 years, the ALCAT Test has provided a tool to successfully overcome a wide variety of conditions, such as digestive disorders, migraines, obesity, chronic fatigue, skin disorders and arthritis, which result from food and chemical sensitivities.
Test Results:
The ALCAT Test results are presented in an easy to understand, color-soded format. They highlight each patient's incompatible foods and the level of each reaction (sever, moderate or mild). the ALCAT Test results also clearly identify the foods which are non-reactive or "safe" foods by putting them in the green section of the results and organzing them by food groups.
