Hi Lynne2,

If thats the test where you hold a metal thing in one hand and its attached to a box thing with a battery in,then yes I have had it done several times.I was told I had a big problem with candida,so big they couldnt find a treatment that worked.I was also told I had many high level intolerances,which didnt change dramatically even with a strict diet.If its the same test,how have you got on and what treatment have they suggested?

Best wishes sharon

Hi allhas anyone ever tried this test? I went to a naturapath and the results were interesting - mercury toxicity and candida being the major issues plus allergy to wheat, yeast, dairy, mushrooms and a couple of additives. It doesappear to be close to the truth (had worked out that bread and pasta were problematic and was in denial about dairy !! )Just wondered if anyone else had tried it as I found a couple of articles that inferred it was a bit cranky!RegardsLynne2

Hiya,

Yes, I had mine done in 2008.

It highlighted my intolerances to certain foods, allergies and vitamin and

mineral deficiencies. It even highlighted my thyroid, adrenal and candida

problems. It does not give reference ranges but it gives an idea what is going

on. I thought it was very good.

I am due to have a re-test when I can afford it.

HI,

I have had two different types of tests for allergies. One was where you hold an

electric gadget that works by impulses, which could have been this VEGA test.

The problem is that I was given advice and a variety of items to aid me. It cost

me £100 and face to face with an angry Husband for spending all that money.

One of the remedies caused me a lot of pain, and I received advice to stop

taking it, but after that the shop did not want to know.

The GP at the time did not deny the results, but that there was a health reason

behind them. In other words I think she was saying not to be conned into buying

remedies from the shop as well.

The other test was a piece of hair for analysis, but on this occasion I was not

conned into purchasing anything. I took the result to my GP, and although he

looked at it and poo hooed it as wasting my money and not at all reliable.

Is it also any good paying money out for these sort of tests if ones GP is not

interested, and to take advice from somebody not medically trained may cause a

bigger problem or even conceal symptoms for ones GP to investigate. Most of us

already know that we do not always get the best of advice from a GP,but be wary

of some shops wanting to sell their products, as they may not be eager to take

the blame when things go wrong.

Hi Sharon

Same with me it highlighted candida and intolerances including mercury. Mind

you, if I did it again, I would not say anything about why I was going for the

test so the results were just the results and not potentially 'skewed' by what I

had told the naturapath beforehand. Interestingly enough my dentist has just

called me back to discuss the mercury issue - within the last five minutes - he

is obviously working late tonight! He says there is more of an issue of mercury

leaking when changing fillings than leaving them be. He explained that they are

not real mercury they are some sort of compound which when combined are less

harmful - he used a salt analagy to explain this. He suggested changing them to

white fillings as and when I need a new filling would probably be the best plan.

All these opinions are just so confusing aren't they?

Hi Lynne 2,

I had all my amalgam fillings removed several years ago.I have a mixture of white and gold fillings now.But I dont feel any better now than before I had them all removed.Amalgam is obviously a terrible thing to put in peoples mouths and I was told that if you have gold fillings as well as amalgam its even worse,as the gold leeches out the toxins even more.Whatever is put in your mouth the dentist is the only one to profit!

Best wishes Sharon
