 Though milk is classed as a healthy food, rich in calcium
and vitamins, it can cause health problems in some people.
An intolerance to milk may lead to a number of side effects,
such as migraine and an inability to shed those extra
kilos.
People can develop intolerances to any number of foods.
As the philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach said, “a man
is what he eats”. Food intolerances are invisible
to our senses. Many people have remained oblivious to
food intolerances until they have had a comprehensive
type III IGG allergy (food intolerance) test. The test
has informed them as to which foods they should exclude
from their diets and which foods they should eat in moderation.
In summary
Allergies are characterised by the presence of IgE
antibodies, which are responsible for immediate, often
severe reactions, for example, an allergy to peanuts.
Intolerances are characterised
by the presence of Type III IgG
antibodies, the reactions to an intolerance can occur
from between 8 and 72 hours
after consumption of the offending
food or additive and so are more difficult to pinpoint.
In
more detail
Food intolerances should not
be confused with classic food
allergies. An allergy is a defence
reaction by the body to a substance
which enters it; the
substance may be completely harmless. Typical characteristics of allergies
are as follows
- Swelling of the lips
- Difficulty breathing
- Sneezing attacks
- Rashes
The reaction normally occurs a short time after consumption
of the offending food, it is therefore easily recognized
as the culprit. Classic food allergies are relatively
rare and only affect a small percentage of the population.
The ImuPro300 test is not designed to detect such allergies;
it is designed to detect Type III IgG allergies or food
intolerances, which generally do not present until between
8 and 72 hours after the offending food has been eaten.
This makes it very difficult to pinpoint which food
is the culprit. Food intolerances occur more frequently
than classic allergies and often develop over time. It
is also possible for food intolerances to be passed onto
a new born child through the mother. If tomatoes, for
example, are eaten by a person with an intolerance to
them, the immune system becomes stressed, the metabolism
is affected, resulting in health problems.
The ImuPro300 test
can detect whether a food intolerance
is present.
It is possible to have a Type
III IgG allergy or intolerance
to certain foods and additives
without your knowledge; you may
be experiencing any one of a
number of symptoms, whilst remaining totally oblivious
to the
cause. When you receive your ImuPro300 test results and put
your personalised diet rotation plan into practice you will soon notice the
difference in your general wellbeing.

The immune system is a mechanism for preventing infections
in the body, which are caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi
and parasites. In the case of food intolerances, the
offending food causes a defense reaction by the immune
system; if the food continues to be eaten the defense
reaction may become more severe, resulting in poor health.
