Hi, I am new to this news group.  I am following up on a book I recently      
purchased - "The Food Sensitivity Diet" by Doug A. Kaufmann with Racquel      
Skolnik.                                                                      
                                                                              
In the book it is claimed that a vast proportion of the population are        
sensitive to at least some of the foods they eat regularly.  This leads to    
below optimal health by a build up of toxins which attack the immune system.  
As a result of this it is recomended that individuals discover their          
sensitivities and adjust their diet accordingly.  One aspect of this is the   
use of Cytotoxic testing - a blood sample is taken and drops are used to      
determine the effect of different foods on white blood cells.                 
                                                                              
It was claimed that many people suffering from headaches, joint pains, URTI,  
MS and many other diseases would benefit from this diet adjustment.           
                                                                              
                                                                              
Does anyone know about this book, or cytotoxic testing?                       
                                                                              
The book was first published in 1984, and said cytotoxic testing was          
developed by Dr William T.K. Bryan and his wife Marian P. Bryan in about      
1972.                                                                         
                                                                              
Having suffered from chronic sinusitus since childhood, I would love to know  
if this therapy really does work.                                                                                                                           
Thanks in anticipation.
