Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune Diseases such as Lupus, Crohn’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis, often require the patient to take either anti-inflammatory medicines and or direct immune suppressing medications. Both types of medicines can help in preventing a Cytokine Storm from hurting the patient. Of course, this would be expected given the fact that for decades, the common belief among researchers and practitioners of medicine has been that an over reactive immune system is to blame for a multitude of widely recognized Autoimmune Diseases and also those which are seemingly rare.

MRT Test

The MRT requires a blood sample, typically drawn from a vein in your arm and collected using a kit from the company that has a patent on the test.If your white blood cells “shrink” when exposed to a food antigen in the MRT Test, it causes a change in the solids (white blood cells) to liquid (plasma) ratio of your blood sample, which is measured to determine your reactivity to the food.When your white cells shrink upon exposure to a food antigen, it suggests they’ve released chemical mediators, such as histamine and leukotrienes, that could provoke symptoms in your body. The diet based on your MRT results is called LEAP (Lifestyle Eating and Performance) and is directed by health practitioners, such as dietitians, trained in the test and its interpretation.A small study presented at an American College of Gastroenterology conference found that people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who followed an elimination diet based on MRT results for at least one month reported a 67% improvement in gut issues, such as diarrhea.However, there was no control group in this study, nor has it been published in full. Furthermore, PubMed, a large database that indexes published medical studies, lists no studies on the MRT test.

Food Sensitivity Testing

Food sensitivities play a huge role in these types of conditions. Why? Because when you ingest a food or substance that you react to, your immune cells release a variety of chemicals called “mediators”, which put the body on red alert. Unfortunately, these same mediators cause inflammation, hormone changes, tissue damage, and other effects that lead to a slew of chronic symptoms. Continuous exposure to the foods and food components that you react to leads to inflammatory conditions, chronic pain, headaches, hormone imbalances, abdominal distress, and other serious health problems.
