We list below the tests that are available.
Please note that in the initial consultation with us you complete a medical questionnaire and we analyse your symptoms and this may lead to an immediately usable treatment. Consequently testing may not be necessary. However, if you would prefer to pay for testing first then the range of tests that are available are set out below:
Allergy Test – Ingested Substances
We have a wide range of tests available for ingested substances. The tests are all blood tests and assess whether you have an allergy or intolerance for the foods listed in the panel provided for each test. This enables you to select the food panel that most closely matches the foods in your diet or the foods that seem to be connected with the symptoms.

Symptoms of Food Allergy/Intolerance
Many common symptoms can relate to ingestion of foods, beverages and preservatives. These symptoms include fatigue, headache, anxiety, itchy runny nose, puffy eyelids, skin conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, and may lead to more serious conditions including arthritis, autoimmune disease, migraines, and other chronic diseases. Testing is recommended for anyone with unexplained symptoms.
Allergy Tests – Airborne Substances
Skin Prick Tests – these can be a reliable way of determining respiratory allergies to airborne substances, allergies to insect bites and allergies to penicillin. In Australia you need a referral from your GP and then usually have to join the waiting list at a local hospital so that potential anaphylactic reactions during the test can be managed.
The following blood tests provide a reliable alternative to skin prick tests:
Inhalant Allergy Panel IgE (64 Allergens click here)

Celiac Test
Celiac disease is caused by a reaction to gliadin (a gluten protein found in wheat and similar proteins in other crops such as barley and rye). While the disease is caused by a reaction to wheat proteins it is not the same as a wheat allergy (which is tested as part of the ingested food test above). Symptoms of celiac disease include abdominal pain, bloating, constipation or diarrhea, nausea and vomiting and may be interconnected with other diseases including autoimmune diseases.
The blood test we have available can diagnose celiac disease with 96.3% accuracy. Enquire now at info@perpetualwellbeing.com.au

Salivary hormone test
The Hormone Profile provided by this test gives valuable information on an individual’s hormonal status and the potential impact this may have on physical and emotional health. Hormonal imbalance may result in a symptom picture which includes weight gain, mood swings, night sweats, disturbed sleep pattern, loss of libido, infertility and hot flushes.
Saliva specimens are collected on specified days of the month, according to the nature of the investigation. Results obtained from the Hormone Profile make it possible for practitioners to individualise treatment in order to establish optimal hormone balance. Testing can also be used to monitor the effects of bioidentical/natural hormone replacement therapy.
