"... uses the well-regarded ELISA test."
- The Wall Street Journal, Friday, October 26, 2001 -


Greetings!  The following information pertains to the finger-stick (at-home) 96-Food IgG ELISA Food Intolerance Test... the most comprehensive food intolerance test which does not require a full blood draw!

When it comes to food allergy, there are basically two types:

* Immediate Food Allergy (Classic, Immediate-Onset, IgE-Mediated):  This allergic reaction to foods involves the Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody and also involves MAST cells.  It is the most understood, but least occurring immune response to foods.  It only occurs in less than 2-3% of adults and less than 5% of children.  The reaction time occurs anywhere from seconds to up to 2 hours and typically affects the skin, airways or the digestive system.  The most commonly known response is anaphylaxis, which can result in death.  This type of food allergy is typically tested in a doctor's office by means of a skin "scratch" test.  Additionally, it only takes a single food to cause a reaction and it is typically a food that is rarely eaten.

* Hidden Food Allergy (Food Intolerance, Delayed-Onset, IgG-Mediated):  This allergic reaction to foods involves the Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody and DOES NOT involve MAST cells.  It is the lesser understood, but most common immune response to foods.  It occurs in anywhere from 45-60% of the general population and affects children and adults equally.  The reaction time occurs anywhere from a couple of hours up to 2-3 days after consumption of the food.  Any system, tissue and organ in the body can be affected and there are over 118 medical conditions/symptoms that are either caused and/or provoked by this type of allergic response to foods including, but not limited to, arthritis, weight gain, fatigue, high blood pressure, Celiac Disease, sinus conditions, asthma and various digestive disorders.  Conventional skin "scratch" testing is incapable of detecting this type of food allergy.  Even more intriguing is that both a single food and a combination of foods can cause a reaction and it is usually with foods that are regularly eaten.

Optimum Health Resource Laboratories has been a specialist in food intolerance testing by providing relief throughout the world to thousands of people who have suffered from food allergy induced illnesses.  Our US-based facility provides a clinically validated "finger-stick" IgG ELISA food intolerance test kit.

James Braly, M.D., author of 'Food Allergy Relief' and 'Dr. Braly's Food Allergy & Nutritional Revolution', has been quoted as saying, "By using the IgG ELISA technique, at the same time eliminating the need for a blood draw, this type of testing represents a great step forward in the field of food allergy screening.  It removes the barriers of poor reproducibility and inconvenience that continues to plague competing tests."

IgG ELISA Food Intolerance Screening - Validated and Reliable...

A study, consisting of over 1500 patients validated the reliability of IgG ELISA food intolerance screening.  Additionally, peer reviewed medical publications, such as the October 2004 issue of the British Medical Journal's GUT, reports the validity of IgG ELISA food intolerance screening.  Additionally, the food intolerance screening service provided by Optimum Health Resource Laboratories comes with a written money back guarantee!

Or any of 80 other conditions..?

Medical research documents the majority of the population suffers from IgG-mediated food allergies.  Chances are good you will greatly benefit by the IgG ELISA Food Intolerance Screening available through Optimum Health Resource Laboratories.

According to international lecturer, researcher, author and food allergy expert, James Braly, M.D., "70%-80% of Americans currently suffering from chronic medical conditions of unknown cause, who have proven poorly responsive to conventional medical interventions, are suffering from IgG-mediated delayed-onset food allergies."

Cost Effective...

The cost for Optimum Health Resource Laboratories' 96-food test is $299.00 when ordered on-line and $379.00 when ordered by phone or mail, both of which are hundreds of dollars less than what other laboratories charge for their food intolerance testing.
