Re: reliability of Great Smokies' comprehensive antibody assessment

[Guest guest]

Ok. Not a knock against Great Smokies - know nothing about it - just

my experience. Our immunologist (an elder in the field) would not

use that lab or our local lab, preferring Metamatrix (spelling may

not be right), based upon his experience with it. For us, the IgG

results were accurate, comprehensive & very useful.

My son's neurologist said very shortly and confidently that IgG is

not considered a marker at all for allergies. Is it really so? I have

used to hear from her mainly no-nos like this, but still it made me

wonder, would we make just a funny diet not based on real allergies,

if we follow IgG markers.
