When testing for allergies, everything that enters a client’s mouth or is in contact with his/her body should be checked. This includes all foods, drinks, vitamins, medication and dental materials. It also includes clothing, personal care products, including toothpaste. We also consider airborne allergens and clients need to be aware of houseplants, smoke, paints etc.
When testing for foods, experience shows that people usually have one –or two or three at the most- major food allergies. Finding 10 or 20 different major food allergies in a patient is not only misleading, but also almost impossible for a patient to comply with. Clinical experience has shown that reactions to more than 6 major groups shows that the body has an underlying priority stress that needs to be dealt with first.
The seven Factors are: Food allergies, Heavy Metal Toxicity, Solvents and Chemicals, Interference Fields (scars, tonsils, teeth, Jaw misalignment and dysfunction, emotional reversal and geopathic stress)
The therapist will test the body initially for general health using Autonomic Response Testing. This gives valuable information about the body’s ground system, which holds the autonomic neurological system (ANS). The ANS can be open or to varying degrees dysfunctional.
Autonomic Response Testing stresses the body with different modalities by:
The body’s response to the stressor are subsequently assessed and interpreted.
The therapist will then test for the therapeutic modalities. Whatever neutralizes the stress response is an agent or a method that will help the body cope with the underlying cause of the stress. This could be by eliminating the stressor or allergen, subscribing detoxification agents, emotional work, colour therapy or tapping acu-points on the body, depending on what has come up causing the priority underlying problem.
