DIY Food Intolerance & Allergy Test (Page 6)

Interpreting Your Pulse Record

If your pulse goes up noticeably after you get up from bed, it usually means you have a reaction to something like your toothpaste or toilet articles such as shaving lotion or make-up. Sometimes it can be newsprint off the morning paper.

There are also some basic rules that you can apply, although there may be exceptions to the rule:

1. If ingesting a frequently-eaten food causes no acceleration of your pulse (at least 6 beats above your normal maximum), that food can be tentatively considered not a problem for you. If ingesting it does cause acceleration of your pulse (30, 60, or 90 minutes after eating the food), it is likely you are allergic/sensitive to it and shouldn’t eat it.

2. If you take your pulse at least 14 times a day, and if your dally maximum pulse rate is constant (within one or two beats) for three days in succession, this indicates that all food-allergens/sensitivities have been avoided on those days.

3, If your daily maximum pulse-rate varies by more than two beats–for example, Monday 72, Tuesday 78, Wednesday 76, Thursday 71–you are certainly sensitive, provided there is no infection.

4. Pulse rates that are not more than 6 beats above the normal daily maximum should not be blamed on a recently eaten food, but on an inhalant or a recurring reaction.

5. If your minimum pulse rate does not regularly occur before rising, after the night’s rest, but at some other time in the day, this usually indicates sensitivity to the house-dust mites found in mattresses or pillows.

6. If your pulse-count taken standing is greater than that taken sitting, this is a positive indication of present allergic/intolerance tension.

Dr. Coca emphasized the importance of applying yourself to testing over a number of days in order to identify which foods are making your pulse faster than normal, Dr. Coca maintained that the method was a ‘roadmap to the fountain of youth’ and encouraged everyone to use it!

Some health books recommend not eating peanuts at all and if you do, eat them raw after soaking. They can often be toxic.

I was hospitalised for 4 days after eating a few peanuts and I'm awaiting blood test results to see if there's a connection. I found this site as I was hoping I could do some kind of skin test as I'm impatient.

If I AM allergic to peanuts and follow your advice, then I might experience anaphylactic shock and die.

This is great information seeing as the blood work is actually unreliable, and can vary results depending on how recently you've had the offending foods. I first found out that I had a list of intolerances (about 20 out of 200 of foods tested) I spent good money on the alcat tests which indicated I should avoide sugars, and came back saying candida albicans. Turns out even though I managed to get this test, and the answers - the actual result/diagnosis should have been CANDIDA!! I found out that Candida caused my leaky gut, and food intolerances, and by following an appropriate Candida diet (to kill the candida) I am restoring my health and can feel the difference. Good luck to all!!!

Like many Canadians, I too suffer from food intolerance. It was hard to pinpoint exactly what was causing my issues. I tried eliminating dairy, gluten… you know the usual suspects, but that still didn’t provide me with any relief. I found out my symptoms were caused by leaky gut, and found a food intolerance test. helped me find out what was causing my issues. Since following the advice provided in the results, I have felt much better and have more energy than before. I would highly recommend getting tested for food sensitivities like I did. Thanks for covering a topic that rarely gets attention, even though it should!

Hi Darkstar crashing: I too have a wide range of food allergies and have learned to deal with them much like a building block system. If I eat an offending food in a day then I avoid other offending foods for that day and this usually works. But, some things I have to avoid at all costs, such as apples or any apple by-product which is in a lot of things. Peanuts another culprit, but worst of all is peanut oil, so thai food and sometimes find it in chinese and fried foods, like chicken. Needless to say it's quite a chore to eat out so I seldom do. More embarrassing is getting invited for dinner at someones home, oh yeah, lactose intolerant, rice makes me itch, peanuts and apples horrible migraines, man it's such a drag so I usually say no if I think the hostess will be offended if I pick at the food choices. In any case, wish you luck with your allergies...
