The Vega test is one of the latest developments in food sensitivity testing. It was developed in Germany and is used to measure changes in body resistance. It is completely non-invasive and painless.

The patient holds onto a silver baton whilst a probe is placed on an acupuncture point on the finger. Both the baton and the probe are connected to a machine, making a complete circuit. Potential allergens are then inserted into the honeycomb matrix and a measurement is taken, using the frontal dials on the machine. Intolerances and food sensitivities can be detected.

The test is an alternative, non-invasive procedure. It is NOT a medical diagnosis, nor does it pretend to be. Before the test begins you will need to complete a short questionnaire i.e. health problems, medications you are taking etc. When coming for a test it is also advisable to bring along any substance or material you feel you may be intolerant to.
