If you are looking for the best Beverly Hills allergist, you should also consider environmental medicine. Symptoms from environmental toxin exposure may mimic food allergies. Will an allergist test for environmental toxins like lead or arsenic? Typically, food allergy testing, or food sensitivity testing, does not consider these metal toxins.
Environmental Medicine
Ideally, you would want your allergist to consider if environmental toxins are affecting you, too. Many food intolerances, or “adverse reactions,” are not classified as true food allergies but can give symptoms mimicking allergies. Environmental exposures can also give symptoms that look like food allergies such as: chronic fatigue, itching skin, eczema, acne, skin outbreaks, bloating after meals, IBS, or heartburn and indigestion.
Non-Invasive Allergy Testing
Our allergy testing method is non-invasive and comfortable. We have an effective integrative method of kinesiology testing to help investigate the roots of your allergies or allergy-like symptoms. This unique applied kinesiology testing method is not a blood test. There are no needles. However, we may subsequently order specialized allergy blood tests, such as the food allergy tests available through Cyrex Labs that check for immune intolerance to foods, or cellular food sensitivity tests through ALCAT, or LRA by ELISA/ACT biotechnologies.
Allergy Testing
Conventional blood tests and skin allergy testing can miss many factors. Kinesiology testing—as we do, can help us to know what to look for. That’s why we always start with kinesiology testing. We check for the most common health barriers, some of which are not included in the tests a Beverly Hills allergist performs.
What about food allergy treatment? Will the allergist prescribe drugs that mask the allergy symptoms temporarily? People diagnosed with asthma typically get steroid inhalants when the doctors run out of options in their limited toolbox of pharmaceuticals. Children with eczema often get topical steroids, with negative issues to endure.
You can’t stay on steroids for long without having long-term detrimental effects on your overall health, even topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). The same goes for allergy treatment medicines, which are toxins themselves. It would be best if you got natural allergy treatment solutions.
Environmental Medicine includes Alternative Allergy Treatment
Benefits come from a Beverly Hills integrative allergist, who would use nutrition and natural remedies. Our environmental medicine health optimization program is an integrative alternative. We never use any drugs to cover up symptoms. Instead, we may use nutritional purification methods to help you rebuild and repair your body. It is an alternative to toxic anti-allergy treatment.
