Before taking the ALCAT test, I was bloated and was carrying a lot of water weight. Try as I might, I couldn't lose any weight, no matter how stringently I dieted or how faithfully I exercised. I was extremely fatigued and would often take a nap after work. I never had a good night's sleep because my indigestion was so bad it would keep me awake for hours every night. My sinuses drained constantly. Both my eyelids twitched nearly constantly & my right eye wouldn't open all the way. My joints didn't work right and if I squatted down, I couldn't get up without help. I have none of those symptoms now, as long as I stay away from my reactive foods. Thank you so very much. I am attaching the pictures of me before & now. They were taken 7 months apart.

I am a 65 year old female. With 35 years working in the health care system as a Physical Therapist and teacher, I had always been very active and healthy. About two years ago I started to get signs that something was wrong. The first thing I noticed was mucus in my throat at night, it began to wake me up and I'd be prowling the house at two in the morning. Gradually more symptoms came, I had rashes on my hands and arms, my head felt 'spacy' i.e. mildly drunk, I needed to sleep in the afternoon and felt exhausted, there were joint aches, stomach discomfort, bloating and gas. My doctor did tests and nothing was found. I'm not very good at accepting that there isn't a logical answer so I decided to figure it out myself.
I then found a book on food sensitivities. ALCAT was mentioned in the book and I decided to call directly. I live in Canada and ALCAT is in Florida but the process sounded quite easy. The test kit was sent to me and I had a local pharmacy take the blood, it then went back to Florida by overnight FEDEX. A telephone interview was arranged to discuss the results and the rotation diet. I have to say I was shocked by some of the foods I must avoid. Yeast was there, both brewers and bakers yeast, which I had suspected but so were many of my favorite foods.
Gradually I will be able to integrate many of the foods back into my diet as my immune system recovers, but the few in the severe sensitivity range will be avoided on a permanent basis.
I can't praise ALCAT enough. My symptoms are now almost gone. I'm sleeping all night my brain is clear again and I feel great. Special thanks to Joe Davis and Kathryn Holmes who were very helpful.
Thank you so much,
Before receiving the information from ALCAT three to four times per week I would wake up with severe headaches accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
My Dr, gave me compazine for the nausea, and fioricet for the migraine headaches. This would help for the day, but two days later I would have another episode. My blood was sent to ALCAT who sent the results back detailing what I was allergic to. Following the program I am staying away from the foods that you told me I was allergic to. I have had only three small reactions (headaches only) in the past two and three quarter months. I I hope my journey to good health continues.
