I'd also like to see others try this test (search for a pracitioner that uses a 'vegatest expert' analysis machine) because unless he was manipulating the test somehow, there really seems to be some logic to the results it comes out with.austuser wrote:I'd really like to see the outcome of this diet, as hard as it will be for you. I too suspect candida as being my problem, even though the Nystatin anti-fungal treatment i took didnt help me.
We didnt even get to that stage. This disorder has been my constant companion for so long I don't tend to get carried away when it comes to trying new solutions. Having said that, I am glad I have pursued this one and if it was the solution, I wouldnt care about the strict diet - I could arrange my life around it.austuser wrote:Did he say that this diet should be a life-long thing, or just until the symptoms subside...???
Perhaps its a geolocational differenciation (the words are interchangeable round these parts) but I understand that your differing between the two types.notoptical wrote:No its not the same thing at all. Food intolerance has to do with your digestive system being intolerant to certain types of foods. Allergies on the other hand is an autoimmune disease that causes your immune system to attach certain organisms (the allergens) like it would do with pathogenic organisms, that is, its a false activation of the immune system that shouldnt happen.
Web definition: we define allergy as being an altered state or response by the body to any substance.
He did test for metals and other stuff too but I had no issues there. On the contrary, I think theres every possibillity that the source of the problem could be found here.I would suggest you have a normal allergy test because what that doc did to you is completely irrelevant to allergies
I also forgot to mention, I was given some 'stuff' (regrettably, I didnt get the name of it) to take before/after meals. 10 drops intended to assist the intestine & 10 drops intended to assist the stomach in getting rid of toxins. Also, he gave me a bag that looks like cocaine - of which I take on level spoonful disolved in tepid water after meals.
I will keep you all informed - and if anyone gets tested by this method, please post here.
