What is Pro Immune M food testing

PRO IMMUNE M® is a laboratory test that can be done to detect an individual’s intolerance to a wide range of different foods. Patients with a food intolerance may display, amongst others, one or more of the following symptoms:

Migraines, streaming and itchy eyes, hay fever, asthma, recurring colds, tonsillitis and middle-ear infections, blocked nose, blocked sinuses, eczema, psoriasis, skin breakouts, joint pain, mood swings, flatulence, diarrhoea, bloating, burping, trapped wind, constipation, restlessness, poor concentration, thyroid problems, chronic pain.

Using Pro Immune M® can help you discover if a food intolerance underlies these symptoms.

It is a simple procedure that a patient can do him or herself. We provide a small kit and the patient takes a pinprick of blood from the thumb or wherever suitable and this is then sent off to the laboratory for testing.

You will receive an extensive report on all the results along with advice on how best to deal with any intolerances found.

Pro Immune M® tests for IgG 1 – 4 antibodies, looking for delayed defensive reactions that start 4 – 72 hours after an antigen has been consumed. The antibodies are isolated from the patient’s blood and brought into contact with food proteins, under the guidance and supervision of a specialist laboratory doctor.

• Pro Immune M® tests for IgG 1 – 4 antibodies. Many other widely-available food intolerance tests just test for IgG 4, which could result in a false negative result for a patient.
• Pro Immune M® tests for reactions against up to 270 potential antigens.
• Most antigens in the Pro Immune M® test are foods, but also included are Candida Albicans yeast and aspergillus niger, a mould that grows on some grains during storage. This can highlight a separate reason for intolerance to certain grains that would not otherwise show up in tests for the specific foods only.
• The food proteins used in the test are organic. This avoids potential cross-reactivity with pesticides, fungicides and herbicides that could occur with intolerance tests that use conventionally-farmed foods for testing.
• Detailed test results show the strength of the immune system reaction to a food, graded from 1 (weakest) to 3 (strongest), allowing you to prioritise food elimination with your patient to improve compliance.
• Test results are accompanied by a personalised food rotation plan, shopping list and an optional recipe book for your patient, all of which exclude foods that Pro Immune M® has revealed as causing intolerances. You can also choose to exclude other foods from these, regardless of the Pro Immune M® findings – for example, due to previous diagnoses such as a food allergy (IgE mediated).

As explained in the test results you receive, it is recommended that antigens are excluded from the patient’s diet for specified periods of time:

Reaction 3: Avoid the food for 6 – 12 months

Reaction 2: Avoid the food for 4 – 10 months

Reaction 1: Avoid the food for 3 – 9 months

IgG1 – 4 antibody tests against foods play an important role in Cell Symbiosis Therapy (CST), and other elements of CST may be helpful. Go to www.aonm.org/what-are-mitochondria to find out more.
