Asthma: RM, a 4-year-old asthmatic child, was not improving under the care of the family pediatrician. The parents took RM to SHPAK Clinic for Allergy et al. His allergy test results from US BioTek Laboratories, revealed serious multiple food allergies. Mom took charge and followed the recommended rotation diet, eliminating foods which had elevated antibody levels as indicated on the test report. Her son is now completely free of asthma medication. She is a very happy mom.

Hyperactivity: 9-year-old AM was previously a problem child at school and was very hyperactive. He was diagnosed as having ADHD. His family took him to Dr. H.,and a food allergy test was recommended. His food allergy report revealed significant food allergies to dairy, egg, gluten, wheat, and some fruit and vegetable items. Within 2 weeks of following a recommended rotation diet, his behavior has dramatically improved. He now engages in constructive and directed play; and pays attention in school; even his appearance has dramatically changed. The parents are extremely pleased with these positive results.

Ailing Gibbon: A call was directed to us by the Oregon Tiger Sanctuary with regards to a gibbon whose health was failing. The researcher called us to find out if we can help identify potential food allergies that could be contributing to the gibbon's declining health. A blood sample was sent to us and a 96 food panel was performed on the gibbon's serum. Our lab results identified that kidney bean and brewer's yeast were the main offending foods. After a new diet was implemented for the gibbon, the Oregon Tiger Sanctuary informed us that "the gibbon is doing much, much better on his new diet…".

Insomnia: The parents of 1-year-old Matthias came to KFW Clinic seeking help for their son's problem of waking up every 2 hours since they came to town a few months ago. Both parents have to work in the morning and they were exhausted having to look after him through the night. Physical examination of the child found him to be perfectly normal and indeed extraordinarily healthy. There was no indication of any potential allergy problems. However, since food allergies can still be a potential culprit, the pediatrician went ahead and recommended food allergy testing to be done. The allergy results revealed that the boy was highly allergic to dairy products. Upon withdrawal of dairy products from his diet, the child slept through the night in less than a week. A few weeks later when the child was accidentally exposed to dairy products, he again woke up repeatedly throughout the night.

Eczema: This baby developed eczema very soon after birth and this became very severe when the baby was just a few months old. He was brought to several doctors and was also treated at the National Skin Center by dermatologists with no improvement. When I saw the child at the age of 1, he was covered with eczematous lesion from head to toe with obvious cracks and bleeding from the flexures of both upper and lower limbs. The child had scratched his body throughout the day and night, and it was impossible for the lesions to heal despite all the medications given to him. His food allergy profile demonstrated extreme reaction to most fish but strangely un-reactive to the traditionally recognized allergic food such as crab, lobster and shrimp. With this result it was obvious to the parents why the child could not improve as they were feeding him fish on a daily basis. Over the next few months the child registered extremely gratifying improvement with the removal of fish from his diet.

Chronic Diarrhea: This 32-year-old man with a long history of explosive diarrhea, had sought help from many gastroenterologists. Apart from blood studies, he went through multiple endoscopies and biopsies. The biopsy reports invariably came back as non-specific findings consistent with irritable bowel disease. The last gastroenterologist he saw suggested that he be tested for food allergies. Someone he knew suggested that he come to my clinic to have food allergy testing done. His allergy results revealed that he was highly allergic to egg white and gluten. He was not followed up at my clinic. However, I made the point to contact him for a few months after the test. He made it known to me that as long as he avoids the reactive foods, his symptoms improve significantly but they return with a vengeance if he consumes them liberally.

Chronic Cough: A 48-year-old lady with a 10-year history of chronic cough which had not improved despite consultations with many doctors over the years, was referred to my clinic by her brother whose children were under my care. The food allergy panel revealed strong allergies to dairy products, shrimp, corn, barley, oat, sesame and rice. Among the fruits she reacted strongly to were banana, grape and pear. She also had a moderate reaction to egg white. By following the customized rotation diet, she improved dramatically, and after one subsequent follow-up at the clinic, she did not feel the need to return to the clinic anymore as she no longer suffered from the cough which had been ailing her all this time!

Chronic Blocked Nose: The mother of a 6-year-old girl was concerned that her child had a constant blocked nose, frequent yawning and noticed that she was tired most of the time. As a piano teacher, she observed that a 7-year-old girl whom she was coaching was rather healthy in comparison to her daughter. From the mother of this 7-year-old, she became aware of food allergy testing. Subsequent testing of her daughter revealed strong allergies to dairy products, eggs, cucumber and mushroom. Elimination of these foods from her diet resulted in major improvement in a matter of weeks.

Chronic Infections: This child developed normally for the first 2 years and then started having frequent episodes of various illnesses including viral fever, gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, recurrent attacks of bronchitis, urticaria and constipation. Food allergy testing demonstrated the presence of severe allergies to dairy products and eggs. Following the removal of these offending foods from his diet, the child had no further need to return to my clinic where before, he would present himself every few weeks without fail.
