The actual test is done with a machine that is electro-magnetic.
It uses a small probe to pick up
energies from an acupuncture point on the
hand or finger, and then compares that energy with a sample of the food or
allergen being tested for. A reading is
given by the machine, and the strength of that reading determines whether
there is an intolerance or allergy to that particular sample. In the
case of testing using a hair sample, (which is ideal for people who cannot
physically be present for testing) the machine has a special compartment
to hold the hair strands while the testing is being done. Jan
has over 290 samples to test against.
Not many allergists test against so many samples, which is why Jan has
had such great success in pin-pointing problems.
Click
here to bring up another window with a complete list of samples
that Jan tests against.
Some of these samples are grouped together, so several similar types are in the
same sample. The shellfish sample consists of 5 different shellfish, the mould
samples are grouped together in bunches of 5-10, and so on. You can add to any
of these by asking for a specific fruit or vegetable or spice that is not on the
list. Medications can be tested also if you bring or send in a sample.
After the test is done you will receive a sheet with any allergic reactions
marked, from 'just starting' to 'present' to 'severe'. Jan will then take you
through the steps to eliminating the causes of the allergic reactions.
Jan will give out and explain a customised food replacement sheet which will
help you find other foods to replace the ones that are causing allergies. Jan
will also provide you with information on any homeopathic remedies you may need.
These remedies will help you build up a tolerance to problem items that may be
harder to avoid, such as airborne particles or fumes.
Jan will also give you information on replacing or finding alternatives to soaps
and other products which may be a problem, and information on natural
medications useful in building up the immune system, blood cleansing,
antioxidising, reducing stress and the like. You will get a sheet on Eczema,
Irritable Bowel and Candida if you are suffering from one of these.

Jan will map out a full program for what you need to do, explain any further
testing needed, follow you up with another test and keep an eye on your
progress, making changes as needed. Once you have recovered from the problem she
will give you further advice and information to keep the problem from returning.
Go to the 'Request A Test' page to find out how to arrange a testing session
with Jan, or if you are unable to attend a session, go to the
'Hair Sample
Testing' page to find out more about arranging alternate testing methods.
