Food Intolerance Tests (£20 and £185 and £245)
Food intolerance may create a range of problems like migraines, bloating, fluid retention, arthritis, eczema, sinusitis, sneezing and excess mucus, digestive problems and a lack of energy. Food intolerance testing can help identify if the foods you are eating are causing you a health problem.
We offer two Food Intolerance Tests :
|
Yes/No Quick Screen Test – (£20) This determines if you have a food intolerance but does not specifically test for any particular foods.
|
|
A 76 In-Depth Food Intolerance Test –(£185) This more extensive test checks for food intolerance to a wider range of 76 foods. Click here for a list of foods covered.
|
|
A 113 In-Depth Food Intolerance Test –(£245) This more extensive test checks for food intolerance to a wider range of 113 foods. Click here for a list of foods covered.
|
The tests are easily taken, using a Home Test Kit to take a small pinprick of blood that can then be mailed to the laboratory for analysis.
Unless you are sure you have an intolerance, I recommend you take the Yes/No Screen Test first.
If this is positive, then I recommend you take the 76 or 113 Food Intolerance Test. These are designed to determine the specific foods which foods you are intolerant to.
If you take one of these more comprehensive tests, I will send your result and report with lists of foods to avoid, foods you should eat only occasionally and foods you can eat freely, as appropriate.

Homocysteine Test (£75)
What is Homocysteine and what does it do?
Homocysteine is a harmful amino acid produced naturally by the body. High homocysteine levels have been associated with a higher risk of developing diseases such as Alzeimeher’s disease, dementia, heart disease and some types of arthritis.
Usually, the body breaks down homocysteine into a harmless substance called cystathionine which is then excreted out of the body. However for a variety of reasons this process is often impaired. High risk groups include people of all ages, who eat a poor diet, who exercise little, are over-weight, have diabetes, are smokers or drink too much alcohol or caffeine drinks.
A Homocysteine Test determines the levels of this harmful amino acid. The test simply involves using a Home Test Kit to take a small pinprick of blood that can then be mailed to the laboratory for analysis. The test is available on stand alone basis for £75.
The results will be sent to you approximately 2 weeks after you have sent the test to the laboratory. If positive, we will also send you a recommended supplement programme and dietary advice sheet to help lower your homocysteine levels.

Hair Mineral Analysis Test
The test is available both on:
A stand alone basis (£55)
and as part of the
Supplement and Food Programme .
A Hair Mineral Analysis Test :
|
Screens for mineral imbalances and toxicity
|
|
Informs about mineral activity within the cells of the body
|
|
Determines your Oxidative (metabolic) Type (the rate the body burns food for use as energy)
|
This can help determine appropriate supplements and identify the right sorts of food for you. Eating the wrong food for your oxidative type can impair your health and deplete energy in the cells.
This test simply involves cutting a small sample of hair from the back of the head and mailing it to my laboratory for analysis. A full report, supplement and dietary programme will be sent to you.
