Dr. Gloria Lopez answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Alcat: Alcat test identifies cellular reactions to over 350 foods, chemicals and herbs. These inflammatory reactions are linked to chronic health problems like obesity and diabetes, as well as skin, heart, joint, and digestive disorders. Tha's the claim. The alcat test is not reproducible or reliable in my experience. The immuno labs test is. I hope this helps you.
