The Life Stress Scan is not a traditional allergy test for dogs and cats. Our Life Stress Scan uses biofeedback, which has the ability to read energetic resonance that emanates from hair and saliva samples. It is so much more than an allergy test for pets as it can identify imbalances and disturbances within the entire body. Biofeedback energy status analysis measures the body’s bio energetic balance or homeostasis in relation to various food and environmental factors that an animal has been exposed to. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) would call this a balance of yin or yang, with the ultimate goal removing or reducing incompatible energetic disturbances that diminish the body’s Qi or life-force. "What may be healthy for one dog may be unhealthy for another dog." This is NOT a traditional allergy test kit for dogs and cats performed in a medical laboratory. It is a non-invasive energetic analysis that has the ability to detect stress and what may be causing energetic factors contributing to the allergy symptoms in your pet. Using biofeedback analysis, the device can identify over 300 food and environmental factors that may disturb an animal’s energetic balance. Biofeedback measures the body’s reaction to various substances. It is not meant to be a substitute for traditional dog allergy testing methods that use blood samples such as the ELISA and antibody testing. We recommend that you consult with your veterinarian if you wish such traditional allergy testing be done for your pet.
