Doctors have been searching for a simpler method of diagnosing food intolerance for many years, but so far without success.

As alternative practitioners have moved into this field, they have found the elimination diet too difficult and time-consuming, and have sought easier diagnostic tests. Some, such as the pulse test and the cytotoxic test, are based on methods that were originally devised by conventional doctors but found to be too inaccurate. Others are frankly unscientific. All have helped their practitioners to earn a very comfortable living, without necessarily doing the patients a great deal of good. We will only consider the most common tests.
