- TESTING AND RESULTS
General
Our employees will not provide medical advice given that they are not medically qualified unless it is specifically confirmed they are qualified to do so. Any advice given by our team should therefore not be construed as medical advice or any diagnosis.
Quality control measures will be taken when assessing each sample to confirm that our test system is working correctly. A test result will not be issued by us unless the quality control measures have passed our defined specifications.
You agree that all validated results generated by our laboratory may vary from results provided by other laboratories, testing methods, sample types, sample collection kits, sample collection methods or dates of sample collection. We will not be held liable for generating contradictory results unless proof of the identical methodology and sampling can be provided.
Food Intolerance test results
- Food intolerance testing results will be provided for each IgG4 antibody reaction detailed in the product description and categorised into a reaction level and class. A reactivity value in Units/mL will also be provided above the level of 0.35.
- You agree and understand that our IgG4 antibody tests are not an indication of allergies. We accept no responsibility for any condition or symptoms that you may develop caused by an allergic reaction where you have selected this type of testing.
- You agree that raised levels of IgG4 antibodies within a provided blood sample indicate that an IgG4 antibody reaction to a particular food or drink has occurred. If you have previously eliminated a particular food or drink and have not been eating that food or drink for over six weeks, it may not show up on your test results.
- Our IgG4 antibody tests are not guaranteed to identify food/drink reactions that you suffer from, specifically in the following circumstances:
(a) where any food/drink or food/drink group has not been regularly consumed as part of your diet for at least six weeks prior to the test; or
(b) where you are taking prescribed drugs such as immunosuppressants, cytotoxic drugs, or steroids, you understand that reactions may be suppressed but that if reactions are present they may be significant.
- You agree that validated results generated by our laboratory may vary from results provided by other laboratories, testing methods, sample types, sample collection kits, sample collection methods or dates of sample collection. We will not be held liable for generating contradictory results unless proof of the identical methodology and sampling can be provided.
Allergy test results
- Allergy testing results will be provided for each IgE antibody reaction detailed in the product description and categorised into a reaction level and class. A reactivity value in Units/mL will also be provided above the level of 0.35.
- You accept that not currently suffering from clinical symptoms or having avoided a known allergen can affect the test results and reactions may not show up as positive in certain circumstances.
- You accept the presence of IgE antibodies as an indication that you may be allergic to a substance (allergen) but not as a definite diagnosis on its own. Any previous diagnosis of an allergy that does not appear on your results must not be ignored.
- You agree that validated results generated by our laboratory may vary from results provided by other laboratories, testing methods, sample types, sample collection kits, sample collection methods or dates of sample collection. We will not be held liable for generating contradictory results unless proof of the identical methodology and sampling can be provided.
- All results generated are for information purposes only. We recommend that results should be used in conjunction with your medical history and that a full diagnosis be formulated by a medical practitioner.
Sensitivity test results
- Sensitivity testing results will be provided for each bioresonance feedback detailed in the product description and categorised into a reaction level as a percentage. Only reactivity values over 85% will be displayed on your report.
- You agree and understand that our Sensitivity tests use bioresonance and are not an indication of allergies or intolerance. We accept no responsibility for any condition or symptoms that you may develop caused by an allergic reaction or any other medication condition where you have selected this type of testing.
- You agree and understand that bioresonance tests are categorised as Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAMs) covering therapies that fall outside mainstream medicine. Conventional medicine does not currently recognise bioresonance as it has not been subject to significant scientific research.
- You agree that validated results generated by our laboratory may vary from results provided by other laboratories, testing methods, sample types, sample collection kits, sample collection methods or dates of sample collection. We will not be held liable for generating contradictory results unless proof of the identical methodology and sampling can be provided.
We use a panel of our own and third-party laboratories and testing facilities to process samples. Tests are be performed in UK, Pakistan, Australia or USA depending on your region and our nearest hub or testing facility. All testing results follow our UK standard operating procedures and adhere to data protection laws.
