This is dependant on the individual but we tend to find that only one test is necessary. Generally, people start to feel noticeable improvements once the potentially harmful foods/items are removed from their diet. However, for further reassurance, many people take at least one follow up test approximately 3 months after the original test. This helps to monitor the progress whilst carrying out any eliminations from your food diet.

This will depend on whether your body can tolerate the food once it has been reintroduced into your diet, after an initial 3 months from refraining. In some circumstances, this 3 month period may have to be extended, if, for example the bodys immune and digestive systems need additional support to eradicate the underlying problem.

If you are in need of some nutritional guidance, then finding out which foods, drinks, pollutants/external factors may be causing health problems for you could be invaluable. It is true that intolerances can change over time and it is important to highlight that testing can be open to interpretation. No test is 100% accurate, however what we have found from clinical experience in performing our tests for hundreds of clients shows that 85% of our clients report feeling better within two weeks of eliminating the identified foods illustrated by our tests.

Our tests take 5 to 7 working days from the date that we receive your sample in our UK lab.

Bioresonance therapy is one of a number of procedures including homeopathy, acupuncture and other naturopathic procedures that fall within the area of alternative medicine.

Bioresonance therapy was invented in Germany in 1977 by Franz Morell.

The concept of bioresonance is based on the premise that all particles of matter generate electromagnetic energy (including humans). With the introduction of bioresonance technology, such energy and frequency patterns can not only be measured, but also challenged against other frequency patterns which, in turn, produces notable outcomes for analysis.

In short, yes. Even though the most basic food allergy test is considered safe and not painful at all, the fact that the skin needs to be pricked is certainly not pleasant for many people. Thus, people with food allergies often seek out alternative methods to test their allergies. Bioresonance therapy is often a preferred alternative method, offering a safe and much less invasive method of testing for particular foods that a person may experience allergic reactions to.

With bioresonance testing, electromagnetic waves of certain foods have been programmed into the Class 11a medical device utilised during the test. A DNA sample (in this case, blood) of the patient is then taken and different electromagnetic waves are emitted toward the DNA sample collected. The device provides the practitioner with information regarding how the DNA sample reacts to the electromagnetic waves that are being sent to it. This provides the practitioner with details on particular types of foods that the body shows a sensitivity to.
