How does HEMOCODE™ work?

The HEMOCODE™ Food Intolerance System uses a simple blood spot , collected via a finger stick to investigate a comprehensive list of potential food intolerances that may not be present immediately after ingestion. Once blood is collected, it is sent to a laboratory for evaluation. Results are returned to the Pharmacy within seven to ten business days. The customer receives a set of valuable and easy to understand results and detailed personalized materials.

The system is made up of the following components:

• A simple finger stick provides a sample of blood.
  
• A detailed colour coded food chart which outlines identified immune system based food intolerances and the severity of the intolerance, against 250 foods and additives
  
• A food elimination report which outlines how, and for how long, to avoid certain foods, and why.
  
• Vitamin and supplement recommendations – directly based on the foods suggested for elimination to achieve a proper well-balanced diet.
  
• Recipe book containing recipes based on those foods identified in the "Acceptable" list.
  
• Access to a licensed Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and ongoing communication from the Hemocode team to help support overall wellness.

Food Intolerance

A food intolerance is a food sensitivity that does not involve a classic allergic histamine response and as such, is not life-threatening. Unlike food allergies, or chemical sensitivities, where a small amount of food can cause a reaction, it generally takes a more normal sized portion to produce symptoms of food intolerance. Since symptoms of intolerance are delayed in their onset, food intolerances are traditionally much more difficult to diagnose. The most typical food intolerance related symptoms are typically understood to impact gastrointestinal function, muscular and skeletal systems, weight management and dietary issues and can cause skin conditions.
