Allergy Testing & Elimination
Allergy Testing There are many methods of allergy testing. Among the more common are the skin tests, elimination-type tests, and the radio-allergo-sorbent test (RAST). Allergy tests are used to determine the specific substances that cause an allergic reaction in an individual. They may also be used to determine if a group of symptoms is a true allergic reaction, which involves antibodies and histamine release. There are a variety of holistic methods that allow for a non-invasive approach to allergy testing as well.
