WHAT IS THE DIFFFERENCE BETWEEN A FOOD ALLERGY AND A FOOD INTOLERANCE?

Food allergies are defined as any adverse (often immediate) reaction to food which involves the whole immune system. The immune system mistakes the food for a ‟parasite‟ and attempts to rid the body of it as soon as possible. With allergies, Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is affected. Food allergy symptoms can include swollen lips, mouth and tongue, vomiting and rashes. Common allergens (substances that induce an allergic reaction) include peanuts, berries and shellfish. Food allergy testing usually requires a blood test by your GP. Food intolerance is very different in that the symptoms often appear several hours or even days after eating the offending food. In the case of a food intolerance, partially digested food particles enter the blood stream and trigger a normal immune system reaction (Immunoglobulin G [IgG] is affected). This reaction, different to an allergic reaction tends to lead to long term health problems such as digestive disturbances (indigestion, bloating etc), weight gain, headaches, migraine, joint and muscle pain, fatigue, mouth ulcers, mucous and sinus problems and hyperactivity. Common food intolerances include wheat, dairy, citrus, coffee, sugar and chocolate. Intolerances are common but unlike food allergies, can be reversed.

WHAT HEALTH CONDITIONS CAN IT HELP WITH?

It can help with a wide range of health conditions including Anxiety, Arthritis, Asthma, Candida, Constipation, Depression, Dermatitis, Digestive problems, Eczema, Epilepsy, Fatigue, Headaches, IBS, Infertility, Menopause, ME, Migraines, Parasites, Skin problems, Sinusitis, Stress and Weight problems.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

The initial consultation takes between one and a half and two hours and follow-up screenings usually take about an hour.

HOW DOES THE TEST WORK?

We use the Asyra Pro Computerised Electro-Dermal Screening (CEDS) system. The word Asyra literally means "the physician or healer who utilises resonance analysis". The natural balance of energy and temperature of a healthy human is constant. The body will always try to regulate it back to the same point. Just as a thermometer is used to read temperatures, in the Asyra Pro System, a highly sensitive galvanometer (an instrument used to determine the presence, direction, and strength of an electric current in a conductor) is used to monitor variations in the energy resistance of the human body via acupuncture points situated on the hands. Although based on acupuncture, the Asyra Pro System measures the points by pressing as in „acupressure‟, rather than using acupuncture needles, making this system extremely non-invasive and painless. Using the system, the practitioner applies two brass hand probes to the skin surface at the acupressure points. The machine sends a very small electronic signal (representing for example, the food or vitamin to be tested) through the skin. You only feel the touch of the probes on your fingers. The body‟s reaction is recorded by the Asyra Pro System and compared with the system‟s acceptable reaction, to note any weakness or stress, which would indicate an intolerance (in foods), deficiency (in vitamins, minerals and nutrients) or an imbalance (in energy around the organs) etc.

CAN I CONTINUE TO TAKE MEDICATION PRESCRIBED BY MY DOCTOR?

Yes. Good nutrition and dietary supplements are complementary to any medication you may be taking from your GP.

CAN ANYONE BE SCREENED?

Being a very safe and non-invasive technique, it is suitable for babies, children and adults alike.
Unfortunately, we do not screen anyone who is pregnant or who has a pacemaker fitted.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A TEST?

(1) Prior to the test you will be asked to fill in a health questionnaire and you will have the opportunity to discuss your health issues with the practitioner.
(2) After switching off your mobile phone (if you have one), you will then be asked to hold two brass probes connected to the Asyra Pro System. The Asyra Pro System will then be ready to perform the required tests.
(3) During the tests, you may feel the sensation of the probes touching the skin. As each reading is taken the computer displays and records the results.
(4) When the screening is complete, the results are produced immediately as a detailed printed report. You will be given a copy of this report.
(5) The practitioner will then explain the results and make treatment recommendations based on the findings, which may include imprinted bio-energetic resonances, alternative foods and nutritional supplements. Most people find their condition improves greatly over the following weeks.
(6) Follow-up consultations will often indicate improved absorption and reduction in food intolerances. Based on these results the treatment plan may be revised and further appointments may be required. By making specific dietary changes, supplementing depleted nutrients and using the imprinted resonances to help detoxify the body and rebalance organs, positive changes in health are promoted.

The Asyra Pro System is the future of healthcare, assisting the body back into balance, allowing the body to heal itself and preventing future health issues. Don’t leave your health to chance. Take action today, book your screening and start feeling better.
