I would never have know about Alcat if it wasn't for Dr. Meakim. I was popping antacids 3-4 times a week. Had the test, figured out the foods to eat and in days, symptoms gone.

What is food sensitivity?
The inability to tolerate foods and environmental factors, also known as sensitivities or intolerances, induces chronic activation of the innate immune system and creates inflammation in your body. This inflammation has been linked to countless chronic conditions, including: digestive disorders, migraines, obesity, chronic fatigue, ADD, aching joints, skin disorders, arthritis and many more.

How does food sensitivity differ from classic food allergies?
True food allergies refer to foods that trigger your immune system to acutely produce massive amounts of the chemical histamine. Histamine leads to anaphylaxis. This potentially fatal condition causes your throat and esophagus to swell, cutting off air from your lungs, or it may simply cause hives, skin rashes, and other non-life-threatening reactions. This type of reaction is called a type I hypersensitivity reaction, caused by the degranulation of mast cells or basophils that is mediated by Immunoglobulin E (IgE).

The ALCAT Test differs from other food allergy or intolerance tests. Here’s how:

  • It utilizes electronic, state of the art, hematological instrumentation.
  • Standard IgG tests 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.
