ALCAT Testing

ALCAT (Antigen Leukocyte Cellular Antibody Test) Testing is a sophisticated diagnostic tool used to identify food and chemical sensitivities that may be contributing to chronic health issues. Unlike traditional allergy tests, which detect immediate reactions within a narrow threshold, ALCAT Testing measures cellular reactions that can cause delayed symptoms and to more various degrees. At Narberth Family Medicine & Acupuncture Center, we offer ALCAT Testing to help you understand your body’s unique responses and guide you towards optimal health.

Our ALCAT Testing services are designed to provide detailed insights into your sensitivities, enabling us to create personalized treatment plans that address your specific health concerns.
