There are several things she does that doesn't have the science to back it up and in my opinion that is a very extremely important thing for me.
One other thing that bothers me about the Nutriscan test is that Dr. Dodds makes vague statements about "studies" without citing references:

"Today, new studies have revealed that delayed food sensitivity is more accurately identified by measuring food associated IgA or IgM antibodies." (from https://my.imatrixbase.com/clients/1..._to_Gluten.pdf)

"Recent studies have proven salivary diagnostics to be a highly accurate form of canine food intolerance testing."
(from https://my.imatrixbase.com/clients/1...iagnostics.pdf)

And then there is this admission:

"Saliva hormone or food antigen testing is a new technology. It's been used only in the last decade and, therefore, is not yet widely accepted by the medical community."
(from https://my.imatrixbase.com/clients/1...ce_Testing.pdf)

I can't tell whether she is trying to scam people, or whether she thinks she's onto something new and wants to get it into production before it's been scientifically accepted, but either way, it makes me uneasy.
