PREPARING FOR YOUR TEST

BioScan Wellness Assessement Consultations are carried out in person in Dublin 15. Please allow 1- 2 hours  depending on which test you have booked. Please ensure you are hydrated and rested. During your consultation, you will undergo the Bioscan food test to establish any imbalanced in the body with may be sabotaging weight loss. As with all tests, it is only possible to test for an item that is in the body. 

Do eat at least a small sample of any food that has been avoided in the past 3 months if its safe to do so. If a known allergy exists or your doctors has diagnosed you with something that would stop you from eating that item avoid it.

 A sample of the food must be in the body in the past 3 months in order for it to be detectable. This applies to all grade food  testing. 

Do not eat foods that you are allergic to. 

Please avoid the use or steroids or anti-histamines as they may suppress your the bodies reactions.

Do check with your doctor first to ensure this is the right test for you.


UNDERSTANDING YOUR TEST. This is for after your consultation only.

1. CATEGORISED PRINT-OUT ATTACHED.

It is extremely complicated to read an uncategorised print out. Therefore we normally place the items in your report into distinct categories and groups to that it is much more clear. As this is an “abnormal only ” chart, please avoid all the items on this chart for 3 months. It is really that simple.

ABNORMAL ONLY CHART -

This chart focuses on only the items that have come up imbalanced. These are the foods you need to remove. That is because there are so many items in the test especially when you undergo a Full Body Mot. When you receive your results., please remove from the diet for 3 months all of the food items listed on the attached report.

2. REPEATING THE TEST DURING THE TESTING PROCESS

We very often run the test twice and sometimes three times to check and verify the results at the time of testing. Please go by the final outcome. The Bioscan is an FDA registered testing device which we have been using in our clinics for almost 10 years. People have found the test to be very accurate.

3. CHART COLOUR CODE

Please note every Bioscan system has a slightly different colour code so this will not apply to a test you have received from anyone else.
All foods that appear NOT GREEN should be avoided for 3 months unless in the case of an umbrella food like Gluten or Lactose. These are what you might think of a parent foods, and they knock out items containing them, therefore. Makes sense?

UNDERSTANDING COLOUR CODE -

To help you understand and read your chart better, please consider the following explanations for each colour. As stated, the best approach is simply to avoid all the items that appear on the Abnormal Only chart as NOT GREEN. All foods listed on the chart should be removed from the diet for 3 months and then introduced one by one monitoring the response on your body as you do so. It you notice a bad response ie bloating, you might avoid long term Remember all food i tests are self-elective and not a matter of urgency. Taking steps to avoid foods that cause imbalances should make a well person more well, but does not under any circumstances cure a sick person. No  test will be offered to those who are medically sick or under a doctors care. 

CHRONIC/SEVERELY CHRONIC

Black and Blue items. A chronic food imbalance is one that is persistent or long-lasting. lt has developed over time or a long time ago. It may take time to recover i.e. the full 3 months in some cases. Severe is a stronger version of it.

ACUTE/SEVERELY ACUTE

Pink and reds are acute. Acute may be a more severe food imbalance or it may have a sudden onset. It may have developed more recently. Again severe is a stronger version of it. Please note that the recommendation is simple. Treat all the food that appear on the chart attached in the same manner. That is, to remove for 3 months any item appearing imbalanced (ie not green, unless its a parent food) and monitor your body’s response as you re-introduce it after that time.

4. UNCONSUMED ITEMS SHOWING UP

Food labeling research shows we eat much more than we think we do, ie there are hidden ingredients in many foods. This is a well known and accepted reality. It is very likely that at some time in your life you have been exposed to things that you were not aware of. Maybe not as a whole food but as an ingredient. You would be surprised where foods show up as trace elements and as ingredients that form part of other foods, sauces, additives. This is most evident most in foods we eat in restaurants or eat if we eat pre-packaged foods or processed foods.

5. ITEMS SHOWING THAT ARE NOT REGULARLY CONSUMED.

If you don’t regularly consume the item and it shows up as imbalanced, please continue to avoid it as it is currently registering an imbalanced response in your body which may be historic.

6.UNDERSTANDING NON FOOD ITEMS AND THE BODY SCAN

BODY SCAN

Results of the Body MOT body scan are interpreted slightly differently. When reading the non food items “Body scan” as listed items on your chart, please ONLY consider the top 3 highest and black items on the list.

Bioscan is not a diagnostic device but merely a reading of areas that are imbalanced on that day, at that time. In no way can it detect an illness or diagnose any intolerance or allegy.

7. ITEMS SHOWING UP TWICE

It is recommended that if the food comes up imbalanced at any strength or dilution (tincture or mother tincture), you should treat it as abnormal and consider it imbalanced. Again, remove for 3 months and monitor your body’s response as you re-introduce it after that time. Green is balanced , however we do check many items numerous times in numerous dilutions. That means, if you see it green in one place but not green in another place, please avoid it for 3 months.

8. UNEXPECTED ITEMS SHOWING UP

Many people are surprised that foods such as wheat and some of the other items you mentioned did not show up. We all know the foods that are “bad” for us in general. But this test is about finding out the food that are not bad or good but bad for you. Please note that nobody should eat high doses of wheat or gluten. But more specific to you, please remove for 3 months all the items listed.

Always check with a licenced medical practitioner before making changes to lifestyle or diet.  The Viotics Mind Plan does not diagnose any condition.
