A comprehensive food antigen profile testing over 100 antibodies can identify the foods that may be causing toxic reactions in your body. The blood for the test can be drawn at the office by Dr. Fine or his staff and then forwarded to a special laboratory for testing. Once your sensitivities are identified, steps can be taken to define the level at which the food produces a toxic reaction in your body. In other words, you may be able to eat 2 oz. of chocolate without a reaction, but just a little more may cause a resurgence of your symptoms.

Put simply, two ounces of chocolate may not cause a problem for you but 2 1/2 or 3 oz may activate a specific long-term reaction.
