The Carroll Food Intolerance Analysis was originated by Dr. Carroll to
determine persons' food incompatibilities. Currently, research
is being done
on this method of testing which will be published in the near future.
Dr.
Carroll began utilizing this method in the 1920's and since then
tens of thousands of patients have proven it's reliability.
The food
intolerance analyis utilizes a person's blood to determine enzyme
compatibility with particular food groups or combinations of foods.
This is different
from allergy testing, which determines antigen/antibody immune responses.
Allergy test results can change rapidly from day to day in a patient
and also vary greatly from one lab analysis procedure to another.
The Carroll
Food Intolerance analysis bypasses this vague allergy testing, getting
to the root of the problem, which stems from improper digestion of
a food or combination of foods.
Most people have one main food intolerance that they need to avoid completely in their diet, as well as one combination of foods that they must keep separate in their diet by 4 to 8 hours. The time separation is variable and depends on your age or digestive rate. An example of a typical food intolerance would be a main intolerance to Dairy with a combination problem of Fruit and Sugar. Avoiding these foods, if this was your intolerance, would allow your metablolism and immune system to function optimally, allowing the healing process of nature to occur.
With this analysis being done now for over 80 years, we can say without
a doubt, that food intolerance is the #1 cause of illness of any kind.
You must
begin with how you digest and assimilate your nutrition if you want to
heal. If the food is not working for you, it is working against you.
If improperly digested, the food intolerance will sap your strength,
divert your immune system, and stimulate a disease process, affecting
the weakest area of your metabolism. This is why one person will have
asthma and someone else will have arthiritis. The toxins from the improperly
digested food will affect any tissue that can't resist it.
A small blood sample is necessary for this analysis and is often obtained
from the soft part of the ear lobe. This is a painless area and is utilized
especially for children who rarely cry when the ear is quickly poked
with
a finger
lancet to obtain the sample.
Dr's Watrous and Potenza are both certified to perform this important diagnostic analysis.
