General Description

Type one, or “classic”, allergy causes redness, swelling, and heat in the body as a result of the elevated blood levels of Immunoglobulin E (IgE). Contrary to popular belief, the symptoms produced by IgE can be subtle and similar to those seen in other conditions. This potential confusion makes diagnostic testing very important in recognizing the offending source. The Advanced IgE Test broadens the scope of test foods and/or inhalants, including Thimerosal and Candida.

Testimonial

"We did the IgE and IgG food allergy testing on our son last August and the tests came back positive to 55 allergies combined! Some of them were very, very high. We have done our best to keep him free of the higher allergens and he is so improved now.

None of the doctors ever suggested that we try food allergy testing. They all admitted that we were dealing with a neurological problem and it was bad but nobody wanted to find out WHY! I thank God that I didn't give up searching for answers and that I was led to your web site and so much information.

We are thankful that we now have a happy four-year-old who is enjoying his life so much more. We are so thankful to all of you at the lab, you are all doing such worthwhile work."
