Does everyone have allergies? No. The majority of the UK public are not suffering from allergies or intolerances. Of those who suspect allergies and book a test with Marek, around 70% are found to have allergic reactions to foods currently in their diet.

If I am allergic, do I need to avoid that food forever? In most cases, no. Most interolances form as combination of poor digestion, disrupted immune system function and an over-production of antibodies to specific foods. By addressing the first two concerns and removing the food for long enough to let antibody production fall back to normal levels, the food in question can normally be re-introduced without problems after a few months. Sometimes, more often with type A allergic reactions, the problems may be more persistent.

How did I become allergic? Anything that disrupts the function of either the digestive tract or the immune system can result in the body developing allergic reactions. With this in mind, a whole host of different factors can contribute: mineral deficiencies, cytokine imbalance, poor diet, and stress. While most of these factors will work together, stress often plays a large part in when problems first become noticeable.
