ALLERGIES VS SENSITIVITIES
Classical allergy is an example of an immune-based sensitivity reaction. It is usually an immediate reaction (within 30 minutes) and involves a special subset of immune antibodies called IgE.
These antibodies trigger the release of histamine, giving all the classic symptoms of allergy i.e. swelling of the lips, mouth and throat, skin rash, itching, hives and respiratory symptoms.
These symptoms can vary in intensity and in extreme cases may lead to anaphylaxis, which could be fatal.
Some allergic reactions are more delayed and occur up to 48 hours after exposure to the substance. These reactions may be immune-based (allergy), or a non-immune (sensitivity) physiological reaction.
The immune-based delayed reactions usually involve different subsets of antibodies called IgG or IgM.
This method of hair analysis doesn't rely on recent consumption alone as the tested items are measured against your hair sample (your own unique molecular signature), making it especially useful for identifying reactions to foods you may avoid (like gluten) or for testing individuals who haven’t yet started eating solids, such as infants.
HealthSense Diagnostics uses a small sample of your hair to assess a wide range of items. This is possible because hair shafts are hollow and act as storage vessels for substances carried through the bloodstream—such as antibodies, hormones, heavy metals, and more. As these substances circulate in the body, they are deposited from the blood stream into the hair shaft, allowing them to be detected and analysed without the use of invasive testing methods such as blood testing.
