I am allergic to something on my report, but my result shows this item is beneficial. Why?

Allergies vs Intolerances and Sensitivities

 

IMPORTANT:  Our testing methodology allows us to test for items which your body may have a sensitivity or intolerance to, NOT AN ALLERGY.  

WE DO NOT TEST FOR ALLERGIES, ALLERGIC RESPONSES, OR IMMUNE RESPONSES.  

If you are in need of a test that will help you to determine if you are allergic to a food, drink or other item, please contact your healthcare provider in order to get the medical testing needed to make this determination.


While it may seem odd to have an item render a "Beneficial" (green) result when you have a known allergy to that item, the truth is that this is highly plausible!  Some sensitivities and intolerances are a results of overconsumption of an item.  Chances are, if you are allergic to something, you are most likely not consuming this item and you would not show as sensitive to it!

Your reaction to that food may be caused by another underlying medical disease, such as a digestive disorder and or an autoimmune problem, which we are unable to detect. This is another reason why your allergy item may be in the "green zone".

However, if you have a known allergy to any item that is contained in your results, please do not reintroduce this item to your diet without consulting with your healthcare provider.  Allergic reactions can be life threatening and our tests are not meant to provide medical advice or to be used in place of medical advice you have received from your medical practitioner.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  If you have a known allergy, immune response, or allergic response to items contained in your test results, do not consume this item without first speaking to your healthcare provider regardless of the results provided in your report.

These test are not intended to make a medical diagnosis or to be used in place of medical advice or treatment you have received from your medical practitioner.
