Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hi Arshad The test is for allergic responses to foods as was explained in one of the previous responses. If you do some searching (Google or otherwise), you will be sure to get some more information on tests. Also, just as a reminder, this group is VERY different to the Australian MS group - this group asks that its members erase the previous email, except for a sentence explaining what the previous post/reply was concerning.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Does the ELISA test require physicians signatures? My Igenex and Fry laboratories tests for Lyme disease required a physicians signature. Been battling this darn sickness for 10 years now. See some promise with being treated for the borrelia burgdorferi bacteria and multiple co-infections. My current LLMD, in his patient guidelines, has written about doing a food challenge test. Maybe this blood test would be like the food challenge test? Are there any preferred vendors? > > Hi Racheal any anyone else , > > I am from Melbourne, Australia and don't know about this () test.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hi Arshad, I have a friend in Australia who had this test, so I know it is available there. As part of the Best Bet Diet (if you decide to go this route} it will help to eliminate foods which people with ms should avoid eating, and also those which you are sensitive to I'm afraid there's a ton of reading involved in order to grasp this, so go to www.direct-ms.org. See ya in a couple of months. ________________________________ To: mscured Sent: Fri, January 14, 2011 4:14:44 PM Subject: test in ppms  Hi Racheal any anyone else , I am from Melbourne, Australia and don't know about this () test.

I had mine done by York Labs in the UK. It cost me about $600.00 Canadian. That was after the discount I received through being a member of the Best Bet Diet Group. This is done via the mail. It involves a prick to the finger or thumb. Group membership still offers this and other discounts. I was very, very shocked and suprised when I got my results back. I know that I would never have been able to figure out which foods were causing my problems on my own. I had thought that I knew which foods were the problem, but I was wrong. This test was the most profound eye opener. It enabled me to get rid of almost all of my ms symptoms. What it did not fix was then taken care of by getting my vitamin d levels up to optimum, and by also eliminating the foods not allowed on the Best Bet. This was the best money I ever spent. Hope I can change your mind. Take care, Sheilah ________________________________ To: MSCured <mscured > Sent: Fri, January 14, 2011 8:43:09 AM Subject: RE: Hives etc. Hi Sheilah I haven't had an ELISA as I've pinpointed what causes reactions through my body's reactions anyway. I also don't wish to base all my 'what not to eat's on a test which isn't ALWAYS 100% accurate and which is very expensive in the UK. As I said in my responses, sticking to the BBD fits in with what I can and can't eat. I encourage others to get an ELISA - I just don't feel the need for it for me.
