Question:
I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and would like to be tested for food
allergies. What is the most accurate form of testing for this as I would
like to get the best test if possible? I am in the UK.
Answer:
Ed, go to waltstollmd.com under allergies to see the statistics on most
allergy tests, there not so good, less then 10% accuracy. Then see NAET.com
for the best test. They can help you with the CFS also. I also have CFS and many food allergies and I just started with NAET
last week. After one treatment I am able to eat dairy products, after
not eating any for over two years. My doctor has high hopes of
eliminating my allergies (including food allergies) and greatly
improveing my CFS. I figure it is worth trying, can't lose anything but
money...grin.
In addition to NAET.com there is a group for discussion of NAET that
seems to have a lot of good information. You can find it at
http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/naet-l.html - you have to
register, but there is no cost involved.
I am trying very hard to not be offended!! I have been sick with CFS
since 1988 and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not a "State of Mind". I am
"lucky" to have a mild case of CFS and it has totaly changed my life and
my ability to function. Rather then rant and rave, I will give you some
CFS sites, so you may educate yourself! First the CDC thinks it is real, here is there site:

The Mayo Clinic also thinks it is real:

You might also want to look at this website and read about how sick
some people are. There is a lot of chatter, support and some serious
issues talked about. Taking part in thiswebsite, taught me how lucky I am to
have a MILD case of CFS!!

This should keep you busy for a while!! I hope you learn something from
these sites.
