Nutritional Medicine

Here at Novel Medicine, we offer ALCAT tests to test for food intolerance.

The benefits of a good exercise program and a healthy diet are well known. Few however, especially physicians, have any knowledge of the health benefits of taking high quality nutritional supplements.

Doctor and patients alike must take a long hard look at how they approach health care today. Numerous studies prove that a healthy diet, a good exercise program and high quality nutritional supplements is the absolute best way to maintain your health and to regain your health after you have lost it.

Are you unable to enjoy certain foods or do they cause adverse reactions? Do they induce headaches, digestion problems, flatulence, arthritis or weight gain

If so, the ALCAT test could help you.

The ALCAT test is an analytic probe, which investigates how each organism metabolizes the food. It is based on the blood analysis through which the reaction to about 100 food extracts is investigated and their “toxicity” is observed. It measures the susceptibility of the blood cells to react to certain aliments.

Knowing the result of your ALCAT test is important when you are trying to lose weight. You can experience two types of allergic reactions to aliments: from previous exposure to an aliment or from direct intolerance towards a specific food.

The symptoms of these reactions can vary between patients, and can be acute or chronic.

The ALCAT test has already helped improve the health of hundreds of thousands of people around the world who suffer from a wide range of symptoms and illnesses, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), arthritis, obesity, chronic fatigue, migraines, intestinal problems, and childhood illnesses such as attention deficit disorder (ADD).
