Crosby Chiropractic now offers Alcat Testing. The Alcat Test is now considered the, “gold standard” laboratory method for identification of non-IgE mediated reactions to foods, chemicals, and other substances. The test identifies cellular reactions to over 350 foods, chemicals and other substances. These triggers of inflammation have been linked to chronic health problems like migraines, aching joints, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, eczema, hyperactivity/ADD, asthma and even obesity.
Unfortunately, in 2009, my health took a turn for the worse. By the summer of 2010, my condition had become so unbearable that doctor’s visits and hospital runs were becoming the norm. My family life was being disrupted, and something needed to change! I searched for alternative therapies, and a friend suggested the ALCAT food sensitivity test. I listened to my friend’s advice and started my elimination and rotation based on ALCAT’s results in November of 2010. To suddenly feel like a brand-new person and to feel healthy and energetic was amazing. What was even better, were the results I heard on November 23rd, 2011. It was my fifth screening, and for the first time in my life, my colonoscopy was clear!

To all those just starting, let me say I really DO believe this test should be taken by anyone with auto immune problems!! I had RA and after being on this for 6 months I can say I am almost a new person. I think I took at least ten years of my age. I lost weight, my swelling and MANY other symptoms are gone. I can walk for a very long time and I’m back to doing my old things. I only had 2 in the red zone and about 15 in moderate and I’m trying to bring some back . I think it’s hard to do that, because when you hit a really reactive one, all symptoms come back for a couple of days, but that’s a small price to pay. I have told everyone I know to just take the test and find out what THEY react to.

I want to take a moment and tell you how pleased I am that I had the ALCAT Test done. I was feeling sluggish, could not lose weight, had a headache every day, and heartburn! Sounds miserable right! When I heard about the ALCAT test, I was suspicious. How could food have such a negative effect on my system. However, I really wanted some relief. I had the test done, and started eliminating the foods that I am sensitive to. What an amazing result. I do not have headaches or heartburn anymore. I have a lot of energy, and feel more optimistic than I have in years. A nice side effect also is that I have started losing weight. This has been such a struggle for me, and now I feel that I can shed the extra pounds that I have been carrying for years. I strongly support this test, and would be happy to share my success with anyone!
