Food Sensitivy Testing

Is Your Food Making You Sick?

Are you suffering from a stubborn health problem that won't go away no matter what you try? Or perhaps you feel like the medications and treatments you're taking aren't actually getting at the root cause of your illness - and you want something that will? If so, here are some important facts to consider:

Why we feel sick…frequently

Food sensitivities are a common cause of many chronic conditions and affect an estimated 15-20% of the population. Symptoms provoked by food sensitivities occur when our immune system begins perceiving foods in the same way it perceives things which are truly harmful - bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc. There are many reasons why this can happen, but this mistaken identity leads to the release of toxic chemicals called "mediators" (such as histamine, cytokines, and prostaglandins) from our immune cells. It's the inflammatory and pain-inducing effects of the mediators that give rise to symptoms, which ends up making us feel sick.

Research has shown that patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic depression, and many other conditions have higher than normal levels of these mediators circulating throughout their bodies. For many, the "trigger" that causes the mediators to be released can be linked to foods or chemicals in their diet.

Food sensitivity symptoms are often chronic because the mediators that make us feel sick are released every time you eat your reactive foods. And it doesn't matter what drugs we take to try and get better; if we have food sensitivities and don't figure out which foods we SHOULD be eating (and of course, which foods we should stay away from), getting better and staying better becomes a long-term losing struggle.

Identify a healthy diet and feel better

LEAP© is a new program that will help you overcome food sensitivity problems. LEAP will allow you to quickly identify what foods, additives, and chemicals are provoking your symptoms, and, more importantly, which foods have the highest probability of being safe.

LEAP uses a patented blood test named MRT© (Mediator Release Test©) to isolate a safe foods diet for each patient. MRT eliminates the guesswork to give you definitive answers. Once the test is performed, an eating plan is developed and tailored to the needs of each individual patient. Then your health care provider or a trained LEAP Dietitian will assist you in implementing your new, healthy eating plan.

Your improved health is in your hands

The LEAP Program has helped thousands of IBS, migraine, fibromyalgia and other food sensitive patients quickly overcome their food sensitivities and find lasting relief, even to the point of feeling completely healthy again after years of suffering. In fact, most patients see noticeable improvement within 5-10 days on the program. And all without the ongoing costs and potential side effects of prescription medications that will never fix the underlying cause of the illness. If your health care provider thinks that LEAP can help you, the next step is up to you. Commit to improving your health and follow through. If you do have food sensitivities and you want to feel better, your improved health is in your hands.
