Fw: 4th story down--food allergy home test kit now in US

March 20, 2001

Betty, I thought the fourth message would be of great interest to many on

our gfcf lists, but cannot forward anything to them. I thought I'd let you

know about this and hope you can forward the story and link on, as I know

you were successful with that in one of our recent posts. That's great how

your older daughter is sending you the luggage locator and thanx for the

heads up on the computer virus, that one sounds nasty.

> FOOD ALLERGY HOME TEST KIT NOW IN U.S.

> A European food allergy home test kit is now available in the United

> States and Canada. The FoodSCAN kit is available from York Nutritional

> Laboratories in York, England. A simple finger prick to collect a tiny

> mailer. The blood is tested against 93 foods, and within 10 days the

> test results and support materials are shipped directly to the patient.

> Unlimited phone and Internet support are also provided at no extra

> cost. Experts say as much as 70 to 80 percent of the chronically-ill
