As far as this test being legit, I have no doubts about it bc Turbo tested for it. I avoided the foods he can't have, according to the results. He stopped vomiting. Started gaining his weight back. That's all I need as proof that it works.
I'm not saying it will work for all dogs...Turbo had no underlying issues. His thing was simply food intolerance. Dr. Dodds has real clients/ patients, dogs that have greatly improved upon having been tested w/NutriScan.
Food elimination was very difficult for him...as you can read in his thread, I totally got it wrong. I thought he couldn't have beef or eggs. The thing is, he would throw up, up to 2 days later, after eating the offending food. W/4 proteins that he can't have, 3 of which were regular foods in his diet, it would've taken a very long time to figure out. (I say 3 bc the other he can't have is venison. They've tried venison b4 & they all had soft poopies, so I stopped giving that protein.) Which means more vomiting, losing more weight & who knows what other ailments that would have lead to...

I know of her mainly through vaccination research. |
