Live Blood Analysis

[Monika]

Has anyone had experience of live blood analysis and, did it find the health problem (or cause of it)?

I have chronic urticaria for which there is no answer as to the cause. I have suffered from it for the past 14 years with daily outbreaks over that period; I've had all the tests and consultations there are to no avail - and I'm thinking of being tested with LBA, but many reports are negative, suggesting it is mere quackery?

If anyone know differently, please let me know.

what is it, monika?

Never having heard of it before , I have just had a read and whilst I understand your misery after all these years - I personally think it doesn't stack up too well as a diagnostic test.

RATTER's link says it all.

This is abracadabra medicine and if this is what you ar looking for, then go ahead.........many ABers do.

[boxtops]

so can you get this on the NHS via your GP?

boxy.......^^^^^...you must be joking!

Anne - probably a very plush consulting room, there is a lot of money to be made from exploiting people's desperation.

Many thanks, everyone.

As there has not been any positive feedback about the procedure, I have to assume that your thoughts and observations are very likely the right ones to adopt, especially in the light of there being no positive scientific evidence of its efficacy.

Thanks, again
