Intolerance or sensitivity can affect many of us in our normal everyday lives and this sensitivity can be a cause of many long-standing medical conditions.<\/p>\n<p>This may be caused by a variety of factors such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increased consumption of sugar and refined foods<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Chemical additives in our foods<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased environmental pollution<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased workloads and subsequent increase in stress levels<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lowering of immune function<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Over consumption of dairy products<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Conditions that are often precipitated by food sensitivity may include Arthritis, fatigue, sinusitis, headaches and migraines, skin conditions, hyperactivity, Irritable Bowel syndrome, unexplained weight gain, fluid retention and many others. Visits to your GP may not have solved the problem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By taking a Food Sensitivity Test, you may be able to pinpoint the potential food source or irritant that is causing your symptoms. Then with nutritional advice and some changes to your dietary habits, you may find your health improving significantly.\u00a0 The Medica Nutrition food test is quick and effective and includes over 120 foods, a vitamin \/mineral test, a candida check, plus testing for pollens, moulds, house dust mites, and E number sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The testing method* used is by an EAV (Electro-acupuncture) machine. \u00a0The patient simply holds an electrode, whilst the tester probes acupuncture points on the fingers with a metal pen. \u00a0Homeopathic test ampoules of food are introduced into the circuit, and the degree of sensitivity is interpreted by assessing the degree of distortion recorded on the machine.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The testing method provides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Instant results<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Painless procedure<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Personalized nutritional brochure<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Advice and back-up<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Complete confidentiality assured<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>* The test does not constitute a medical diagnosis. \u00a0For all medical and dietary problems, please consult your GP.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_sidebar_0 et_pb_widget_area clearfix et_pb_widget_area_right et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div id=\"search-2\" class=\"et_pb_widget widget_search\"><h4 class=\"widgettitle\">Search<\/h4><form role=\"search\" method=\"get\" id=\"searchform\" class=\"searchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.leafhealth.co.uk\/cy\/\">\n <div>\n <label class=\"screen-reader-text\" for=\"s\">Search for:<\/label>\n <input type=\"text\" value=\"\" name=\"s\" id=\"s\" \/>\n <input type=\"submit\" id=\"searchsubmit\" value=\"Search\" \/>\n <\/div>\n <\/form><\/div><div id=\"text-2\" class=\"et_pb_widget widget_text\"><h4 class=\"widgettitle\">Book an appointment<\/h4> <div class=\"textwidget\"><p>Click <strong><a title=\"Contact Us\" href=\"https:\/\/leafhealth.co.uk\/new\/?page_id=41\">here<\/a><\/strong> to visit our contact page and to book an appointment.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sports Performance &amp;
