This information is basically a marketing campaign. When you compare the huge number of items tested in their assay and the inexpensive cost, it could not measure specific reactivities or immunity quantitatively or accurately. Tests developed and patented based on scientifically defensible technology, like Nutriscan’s unique patented saliva –based food intolerance test [not a cheek swab or blood test] are labor intensive and require precision, immunological quantitative assays. See www.nutriscan.org and attached . "
Dr Dodds attached a word document about the "Benefits of Salivary vs Serum Food Intolerance Testing". I don't understand most of it bc of the scientific words (& lack of brain cells loll) but if anyone wants to read it, please PM me & I'll email it to you. |
I truly don't know either just how scientific or accurate the test is. Mainly, I did it bc it sounded interesting and was such a good deal, so I was curious to see the outcome. I do know it confirmed some allergies that I
just knew Wylie must have, so that was somewhat validating for me. And, from what enchilila shared with me, her test results were much different than Wylie's...so I liked hearing/knowing that too.
Hee, clear as mud, eh?
My opinion is use it as a tool in your toolbox, but don't let it be the end all be all. It's just another part of the bigger picture for me.
