We
have two nurses at The Burghwood Clinic who look after all the skin
testing which is known as intradermal provocation neutralization
testing. This is a very sophisticated form of skin testing which is
used for identifying food sensitivities, biological inhalant
sensitivities and inhaled chemical sensitivities. This procedure not
only identifies various allergic problems but enables us to produce
desensitizing vaccines which enable people to eat foods or inhale items
to which they are sensitive.
There is one
technician at the Clinic who makes up the testing solutions and the
neutralizing vaccines, a practice manager and a receptionist.
