LEAP/MRT
Is Your Food Making You Sick?


Are you suffering from a stubborn health problem that will not go away no matter what you try? Or perhaps the medications and treatments you take are not getting at the root cause of your illness- and you want something that will? If you feel this way, or know someone that does, consider some important facts:
• Medical Research has shown that sensitivities to foods and food-chemicals can cause an inflammatory response that can lead to a wide array of painful symptoms and chronic health problems.
• If foods and additives in your diet are involved in your illness, whatever medications you take will ultimately fail because they only mask the symptoms. They do not treat the underlying cause of the symptoms. And is too often the case, many medications have side effects that can lead to other health problems.
• If food sensitivities are causing your illness and you do not properly address them, you could end up suffering for years, spending thousands of dollars for treatments that will never produce the relief you desire.

Introducing LEAP-MRT: The Solution for Food Sensitivity Related Illness
The first thing a food sensitivity suffer needs to do is identify their trigger foods and food-chemicals. In the past, this has been easier said than done for many reasons:


• Food sensitivity reactions may be delayed by hours or even days after ingestion. Even if you suspect food sensitivities, it is not likely you would consider that the headache you have right now was caused by something you ate yesterday.
• Food sensitivities are dose-related. This means a small amount or moderate amount of a reactive food may not cause any noticeable symptoms, but a larger amount does.
• Reactive foods vary widely from person to person, even if they have the same symptoms.
• There are usually many reactive foods and food-chemicals.
• In addition, there are 7 different types of food sensitivity reactions, meaning 7 different ways that food or food-chemicals can trigger a reaction.


Fortunately LEAP-MRT can help you quickly overcome even the most troublesome food sensitivity related problems. LEAP-MRT includes a patented blood test called MRT (Mediator Release Test) which accounts for all 7 types of food sensitivity reactions. In comparison, ELISA IgG, the most popular food sensitivity blood test can only detect 1 out of 7 different types of reactions. This means LEAP-MRT will give you faster and more complete relief than other methods. In fact, independent studies confirm MRT is the most accurate and most comprehensive blood test there is for food and food-chemical reactions.
