ALCAT Test

The ALCAT Test is a patented blood test that can determine if your immune system is over reacting to foods, food colorings, food preservatives, artificial flavorings, chemicals and molds.

Many patients are surprised to learn that many foods or substances that they commonly consume or come in contact with can contribute to their illness.

Dr. Eric R. Hampton and Dr. Melinda J. Whitsell of Westhampton Natural Medicine in Mesa, Arizona regularly see people with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, ADD/ADHD, and other conditions improve dramatically after eliminating those substances they test negatively to.

The ALCAT blood test measures IgG antibody response to a large variety of substances. Unlike many allergy tests that measure only the IgE antibody, which is a rapid response molecule, the ALCAT detects delayed response antigens, which is the response typically involved in food and chemical reactions.
