Using the Elimination Diet in Clinical Practice Explanations and Case Studies

Food sensitivities have been associated with a wide range of medical conditions affecting multiple body systems. Using an effective case-study approach, Dr. Kathleen O'Neil-Smith presents a detailed discussion of IgG/IgE testing and the application of therapeutic treatment plans. Dr. O’Neil-Smith will demonstrate how to use testing to evaluate a patient's total antigenic load with regard to food and environmental sensitivities and the clinical use of elimination diets.
