Environmental Sensitivity Testing (EST)

Environmental Intolerance Allergy Testing Ottawa

Environmental Intolerance Allergy Testing Ottawa

Environmental Sensitivity Test (EST)

Environmental Allergies & Sensitivies are very common in Ottawa due to the high pollen count settling in the Ottawa Valley. Allergies & Sensitivies in general are also on the rise due to global warming. Global warming causes the plants to breath in more carbon dioxide and this stimulates more release of pollens. Environmental Sensitivity Testing is an assessment of plants, molds, dust, animals that may impact your health on a seasonal basis and may or may not be true allergies.

Highlights:Environmental Reactions

Functional Screen of: Environmental Sensitivities/ Intolerances

Indicated for: Those who experience seasonal changes in their health.

The method of Testing:

The Vega Test is an EAV acupuncture technique testing device. The electroacupunture diagnostic method utilizes a galvanometer designed to measure the skin’s electrical activity at designated acupuncture points. The patient holds a negative electrode in one and hand and the doctor holds the positive electrode probe to press selected acupuncture points. When a suspected food or environmental is placed on an aluminum tray which is connected into the circuit (or when the Vegamedi, which encases the food or environmental samples, is used), certain galvanometer reading changes, indicating sensitivity. This method is also used for Food Additive Testing, which is most indicated for children with ADD/ADHD, and adults or children with learning disabilities. This takes 10 minutes as well and can be done alone or in combination with the food and environmental testing. The procedure is non invasive , thus it is not painful and is ideal for children.

The reviVelife™ Wellness Centre uses the Vega Test as a supportive technique (not a diagnostic or treatment device) in conjunction with an individual’s history, physical findings and/or laboratory tests. The information gathered is used in conjunction with the traditional elimination challenge technique to determine a person’s food sensitivities. The Vega Test along with a patient’s history will facilitate food sensitivity assessment which is to be noted as different than food allergy detection. If a person has other allergies it is important for them to overlap these results with any food sensitivities that are determined.

The results of this test are available shortly after your test.

We recommend a New Patient Visit for the most comprehensive approach to your health or a Pre-Lab Visit for a quick snapshot prior to lab testing and a Post-Lab consult to review your results.
