Allergy Testing with the ALCAT TEST - Cell Science Systems, Ltd. Corp., developed the ALCAT Test to measure personalized nutrition at the cellular level. The core technology is a blood test that measures the body's response to challenges from a wide array of substances. The ALCAT Test identifies reactions to over 300 foods, chemicals and other substances like additives & colorings associated with inflammation that are linked to chronic health problems.

The common symptoms of food and chemical sensitivity and intolerance are:

• Migraine Headaches
• Chronic Fatigue
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and other digestive disorders
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Depression, Bipolar Disorder & Anxiety
• Eczema and other skin disorders
• Asthma and other respiratory problems
• Weight Gain and Obesity
• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia

The ALCAT test results are presented in an easy to understand, color coded format that hightlight incompatible foods and the level of each reaction (sever, moderate, or mild).

Following testing, a personalized nutrition plan is outlined and implemented and allergy elimination treatment may begin using acupuncture, acupressure and energy medicine or a more western approach using injectable immunotherapy extracts that is formulated for each patient based on the allergy test results. The ALCAT test is perfect for toddler allergy testing.

The ALCAT Test differs from other food allergy or intolerance tests as it accurately and objectively measures leukocyte cellular reactivity in whole blood, which is a final common pathway of all mechanisms. The test utilizes electronic, state of the art, hematological instrumentation. Standard allergy tests, such as skin testing or RAST are not accurate for delayed type reactions to foods and chemicals. They measure only a single mechanism, such as the effect of mast cell release of histamine or the presence of allergen specific IgE molecules. Delayed reactions to foods and chemicals are NOT IgE mediated.

The ALCAT Test also differs from standard IgG tests in that they rely exclusively on one immune pathway, serum levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG). In fact, high food specific IgG titers are indicative only of exposure, not necessarily intolerance.

The ALCAT Test reproducibly measures the final common pathway of all pathogenic mechanism; whether immune, non-immune, or toxic. It is the only test shown to correlate with clinical symptoms by double blind oral challenges, the gold standard.
