Food Intolerance Caused Weight Challenges
Did you know there is a direct relationship between IgG-mediated food intolerance and weight challenges?
In fact, the published medical literature proves that not only does IgG-mediated food intolerance both causes weight gain and inhibits the body from losing weight; it also is the culprit behind food cravings.
According to an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine (1997, Volume 337), "... opioid chemicals found in partially digested food allergens increases appetite and decrease metabolism...".
Simply put, inflammatory substances and chemical mediators released during allergic reactions to food affect weight control and metabolism. Prostaglandin E2, which is also released, inhibits the body's ability to burn fat stores. Food allergies, therefore, diminish the body's ability to burn fat, a process known as lipolysis, inhibits proper metabolism and causes weight gain.
Additionally, not only do these allergic foods cause the body's metabolism to stop and for its fat burning process to cease, but they are also the reason why individuals "crave" the foods that are the culprit behind their weight gain and poor metabolism.
Further evidence comes from a study published in The Lancet (October 27, 1979) medical journal reporting that partially digested components of common food allergens act similarly to morphine-like opioid drugs. Eating an allergic food can actually produce a temporary "high". Then, when the "high" fades, you begin to crave the same allergenic foods to get that high feeling once again.
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.
Our company provides the 96-Food IgG ELISA Food Intolerance Screening, which is a "finger-stick" collection kit.
Our files are full of individuals who have experienced life saving and life changing benefits by the elimination of IgG-reactive foods from their diet, which were identified by our Finger-Stick Food Intolerance Test. Here are some examples:
* S. Schrieber (MI):
Weight Loss & Arthritis
Ms. Schrieber recently called our office and informed us she lost over 10 pounds in just the first week of following the food elimination diet provided with her IgG ELISA Food Intolerance Test results. She also reports that she has experienced a 50% reduction in the pain associated with her arthritis.
* A. Spano (FL):
Weight Loss
Ms. Spano reports she has lost over 30 pounds by removing offending foods from her diet. Ms. Spano has also informed our office that her mother who lives in Miami has had the test and has lost considerable weight as well and that over 6 other of her relatives have had our testing performed also.
* L. Stout (VA):
Weight Loss
Since eliminating yeast and avoiding cow's milk, I have lost 12 pounds and my energy has returned! I am very thankful for having the testing done."
* M. Sotos (KS):
Gastrointestinal Problems
"Your test saved my live!"
* M. Bucher (FL):
Fatigue, Bloating and Water retention
Ms. Bucher is an attractive 19 year old young lady who has always jogged, worked out and ate what she considered a "healthy" diet. Unfortunately, she was regularly experiencing a sensation of bloating, fatigue and water retention during the evening hours. When Ms. Bucher stopped eating the tuna she always had for lunch and the egg she thought was a good source of protein, all her ill-health symptoms went away. Her results identified these two foods as being reactive, thus how she became aware that she needed to eliminate them from her diet.
* C. Birardi (CA):
Weight Loss
Ms. Birardi has reported she dropped a couple of dress sizes and has lost considerable weight after following her results.

===================================
Finger-Stick Allergy Home Test Kit
76-80% of chronically ill Americans, who have not responded positively to conventional therapies, are most likely suffering from food allergic-induced illnesses according to researchers.
There is no single cause for food intolerance. Common conditions ascribed to food sensitivity include: weight gain/obesity, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, headaches (including migraines), hyperactivity, poor metabolism, depression, water retention, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and eczema to name a few.
Each person has a different metabolism, health situation and eating habits which means a different food-intolerance profile. The most accurate way to determine what a particular person should or shouldn't eat is by individual testing.
Fresh to arrive on the market in the U.S. is a food-intolerance test that is said to be convenient, reliable and inexpensive. The finger-stick test, which detects sensitivity to any of 96 foods, can be done in the comfort of the person’s own home.
Using the 96-Food IgG ELISA Food Intolerance Screening, individuals need only prick their fingertip to get the tiny blood sample required. The absorbent wand, which pre-serves the blood sample, is then sent back in a postage-paid mailer. Test results are received in less than three weeks, and include 12 months of email support.
