"I'm winning. Right after the test I won my first World Cup in America. I was surprised by the test results because I'd always thought foods like apples and bananas are healthy, but they're not for me. I avoid my reactive foods and I feel better." Dr. Shimpf, however, was not surprised by the results. "I've got used to great results with food intolerance testing with my patients, so amazing results like this no longer astonish me."

He has found food intolerance testing to be a big help in treating patients who suffer from respiratory conditions among other problems. Besides Christian, Dr. Shimpf points to a particularly "interesting case" of a 30-year-old woman who had endured severe asthma for years.

After he tested her blood and she eliminated her reactive foods for three to four months, she was able to significantly reduce her intake of cortisone, which she'd been taking for years to deal with debilitating asthma attacks. "This reduction of intake of a pharmaceutical as strong as cortisone alone had an additional positive impact on her health," notes Schimpf.

Several research studies have also shown that food does indeed have a significant impact on airway conditions. These findings clearly show a promising treatment for the millions around the world who long to breathe free once again. Dr. Solomon also found mixed, but overall hopeful, results in her study of 172 patients with 11 different conditions. Among them were 20 patients with recurrent sinusitis, 108 patients with hay fever, and 18 patients with asthma. All the patients were put on diets that eliminated their allergenic foods. Within a ten-month period, Dr. Solomon found that with diet alone, 59 percent of the people with recurrent sinusitis improved, 42 percent of the patients with hay fever improved, and 30 percent of the patients with asthma improved.

Many other studies have found that food allergy is an important cause of asthma and hay fever. Among them are two relatively recent studies, including one in 1987 by Zdenek Pelikan, director of the Department of Allergy and Immunology at the Institute of Medical Sciences in the Netherlands. Pelikan investigated the role of food allergy in patients with rhinitis, some of whom had accompanying symptoms of sinusitis and headache. He found that the role of foods was confirmed in two-thirds of the patients with hay fever where an allergic component was suspected. Further, in 19 percent of these cases, food was found to be the sole cause of the patients' hay fever. In half these patients, the hay fever was caused by various inhalant allergens with foods also having an effect (known as ‘secondary' food allergy). Pelikan commented that "the role of food allergy and of food in general in subjects with allergic disorders, especially in those suffering from rhinitis, otitis media, and sinusitis, is still underestimated by clinicians."

In the second study, Dr. D.G. Wraith, consultant physician with the Allergy Clinic in London, tested several aspects of food intolerance in a number of patients with asthma in 1987 and concluded that "food allergy is very important cause of asthma but is often overlooked." Further, he reported, "Avoidance of the cause would prevent much disability and also lessen the amount of drugs needed, which is important considering their expense and potential side-effects."

These studies are just a few of the many going back several decades that clearly point to the relationship of food intolerance to respiratory conditions. A growing number of people who were victims of inhalant allergies for years before finding a doctor who was experienced in finding the source of respiratory problems by testing a patient's blood against a battery of food allergens. The Food Intolerance Test also tests for sensitivities to molds and chemicals such as preservatives and food dyes - all of which can contribute either directly or indirectly to respiratory difficulties. As many doctors believe, these intolerance's represent more load on the body, and the air passages are a likely target for a system compromised by the elements.
