The pulse test for allergies

Here is the allergy test I was talking about at the meeting. When you eat foods you are allergic to, your body has to work harder to digest them, especially the liver and kidney. This puts stress on the organs which weakens the immune system overall because they are under "toxic stress". So if you think you are allergic to something and want to reduce or eliminate it in your diet, here is a simple way to find out:

1. Get into a relaxed state and take your pulse on your wrist. Write the number down then eat the food you think you are allergic to.

2. Be sure to stay relaxed so your pulse won't increase. Wait 30 minutes (good time to read a book).

3. Check you pulse again; if it increases by more then 8 beats per minute, you are likely to be allergic to this food. That also means you should not test any other foods that day.

4. The pulse test works best on an empty stomach. Things like caffeine and other stimulants should be avoided as well before testing.
