I have not been disdainful or snarky towards anyone who has used Dr. Dodds Nutriscan test. Maybe the test does work at some level. Who knows? If Bella had food allergies and I had tried everything else that had been scientifically proven, maybe even I would try the Nutriscan test in a last ditch act of desperation in seeking relief for Bella. Scammers prey on such desperation. My point has been that she is marketing an expensive test that has not been scientifically proven, and all of the bells and whistles are going off in my head that there is at least some level of scamming going on. The test has been around for how long? Five years or more? Why, in that time, has Dr. Dodds, or ANY veterinarian scientist for that matter, not published studies that prove that it works? Why, in all of the pages on her commercial website, does Dr. Dodds not cite any research that at least supports the concept of the Nutriscan test? Why does she recommend that it be performed yearly, at great cost, with no evidence backing up that recommendation? Why is she charging $20 or more for a mass market book on "Canine Nutrigenomics" that is filled with pseudoscience and is basically a several hundred page advertisement for the Nutriscan test?
