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.

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.
