Sue has been providing Natural Allergy Testing since 2004.
Her approach uses Applied Kinesiology, also known as Autonomic Response Testing or Muscle Response Testing, to assess your body's responses.
Working from the perspective of symptoms, she can test to determine all the underlying cause(s). Often, allergies are just one part of the picture, and addressing allergies will not resolve your symptoms and health concerns.
Natural Allergy Testing with Sue Taylor aims to identify allergies, sensitivities, intolerances, toxins, emotional triggers (whether experienced or intergenerational), nutritional deficiencies, underlying infections, and any relevant structural imbalances.
This gives you the whole picture and allows an effective treatment plan to be developed.
This simple but effective method of allergy testing is non-invasive, effective and safe for people of all ages and levels of allergic response.
Sue can also test for a wide range of allergens. However, this is not always helpful. It is common for multiple allergens to be identified, many of which are not actually causing the symptoms you are experiencing.
It is then confusing as to which allergens to avoid. By assessing your symptoms, Sue Taylor can provide advice to help you feel better now.
Why Natural Allergy Testing?
Sue is testing your body's response to allergens, not whether they cause a skin reaction or if you have high antibody levels.
Blood allergy testing provided by Medical and Naturopathic Doctors, and Skin Testing offered by a Medical Allergist can provide a valuable guide; however, there can be false positives and false negatives.
Sue also looks beyond the allergies. She has had many clients who the medical profession has told have no allergies, but who have significant symptoms.
What Allergens Can Be Tested?
Using Applied Kinesiology allows Sue Taylor to test for a wide range of allergens.
Food Allergy Testing – This includes allergens such as wheat, gluten, milk, lactose, eggs, yeast, soy, nuts, etc.
In addition, there are individual fruits, grains, seafood, shellfish, and much more. If you suspect a specific cause of your issues, please bring a small sample to your Allergy Test.
Environmental Allergens – Common sources of allergy symptoms, such as dust, mould, pets, pollens, and perfumes, are among the most common. Also, household chemicals and cleaners, tobacco smoke, cannabis, fumes and exhausts, feathers, fabrics, latex, nickel, hair dye, etc.
You can also bring in a sample of anything you suspect is present in your home, work, or outdoors, and we can test it.
Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMF) and Weather - Many people react to weather conditions such as storm systems, sunshine, heat or cold, or EMF - cellphones, Wi-Fi, fluorescent lighting, smart meters and more.
How Does Natural Allergy Testing Work?
Applied Kinesiology involves the use of a strong indicator muscle. Sue can then use this to obtain a clear response from your body in the form of the muscle remaining strong or becoming less strong.
Vials containing the energetic signature of a suspected allergen are used, so this process is safe even for severe or anaphylactic allergic reactions.
In the same way, we can also determine if the body is unable to function optimally due to other issues such as nutritional deficiency, emotional or structural imbalance or infection.
Can Babies be Tested?
Yes! Applied Kinesiology can be used to test people of any age, from newborns to seniors. If the client is unable to perform the testing themselves, for example, they are too young (generally under 5 years old), have joint issues, or are elderly or sick, a surrogate is used. This may be a parent, another adult or a sibling.
Animals can also be tested in this way, and Sue's clients have included horses, cats and dogs.
How Long Is An Allergy Test?
The first visit is booked for an hour long.
Your symptoms will be assessed, and you will be provided with a written report and treatment plan.
This details advice on anything you should avoid now, any recommended nutritional support, additional treatment modalities, which may include Natural Allergy Treatment, physical treatments or emotional/mental health help.
If an underlying infection is identified, Sue Taylor can also advise you on ways to address that.
Is Natural Allergy Testing Covered on Insurance?
Unfortunately, it is not. Health benefits and OHIP do not cover the testing.
You also do not need a doctor's referral.
