Food Allergy Testing - Is Hair or Blood Testing Better?
Have you decided you want to be tested for a food sensitivity, intolerance or allergy but aren’t sure how the tests work? We’re aware of the confusion surrounding tests, which is why we’ve put together this guide to bioresonance hair testing and blood testing.Should I choose a hair or blood test for allergies?
Choosing between a hair test or blood test is determined by whether you are wanting to test for food sensitivities, intolerances or allergies. Although commonly mistaken as being the same, your body will react differently depending on whether you have a sensitivity, intolerance or allergy. Allergies are caused by the body’s immune response to items, food intolerances are a gastrointestinal response where you cannot digest enzymes properly, and food sensitivities are caused by a delayed immune response and are less severe than allergies.Food Sensitivity Test
Bioresonance hair testing is a holistic form of therapy used for food sensitivity testing. It is categorised as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) – a diverse group of therapies, practices and products which fall outside of conventional medicine or healthcare. This type of testing analyses the bioresonance of a small hair sample using MARS III (Multiple Analytical Resonance Systems) machines. Bioresonance testing does not test for allergies since that requires a blood sample, but food sensitivities can be tested using this method. You can order a food sensitivity test which uses this bioresonance testing against 500 common triggers. With your at-home sensitivity test, all you need to do is send off 3-5 strands of hair to our labs and you’ll receive your results within 7 days of us receiving the sample. Please note this sensitivity test does not constitute a medical diagnosis, but can help people to identify potential triggers and alter their diet accordingly using an elimination diet.Allergy Blood Test

What is Immunoglobin?
Immunoglobin, also known as ‘antibodies’ are large y-shaped proteins used by the immune system to neutralise threats. Think of them as your tiny personal bodyguards. They fend off pathogens like viruses and harmful bacteria and even fungi. There are 5 types of human immunoglobins <1>;- IgM
- IgG
- IgA
- IgE
- IgD
