CELIAC TEST RESULTS OFFERED IN JUST TEN MINUTES

HOLLYWOOD, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2006--The latest advancement
in the screening for food allergy, food intolerance and Celiac Disease
is available through US-based Optimum Health Resource Laboratories. With
an estimated 70-80% of the world's chronically ill population suffering
from medical conditions either caused and/or aggravated by immune
responses to foods, it is anticipated that for many these laboratory
innovations will be the key to gaining optimal health.

"Our collection kits are a convenient, reliable and cost-effective
method for an individual or medical professional to identify the hidden
culprits behind many chronic ill-health conditions of unknown origin.
Additionally, our collection kits can be administered in the comfort of
one's home or at a doctor's office," says John Kernohan, Director of
Optimum Health Resource Laboratories.

For food allergy and food intolerance, a unique collection kit is used
by simply pricking the end of the finger to collect the tiny sample of
blood required for testing. According to Charlotte Newbury, Optimum
Health Resource Laboratories' Operations Manager, "The absorbent pad
safely preserves the specimen until it reaches the laboratory, which is then
tested against 96 foods. In addition to the results and a 48-page
support program we produce for the patient, we also include 12 months of
telephone and Internet support at no additional cost!"

"For Celiac Disease, our kit detects the antibodies associated with celiac disease
and gluten intolerance by displaying results within 10 minutes of
collecting the blood - there is no need to send the specimen to the
laboratory for analysis," states Kernohan.

Is this test effective if a person has a gluten intolerance and has not been eating gluten for some time? If it is cheap enough, I might try it for confirmation. Barbara
