Binnen bijvoorbeeld de mesologie wordt veel gebruik gemaakt van zogenaamde electrodermische testen. Ook andere niet artsen zijn er die graag IgG meten en patienten op basis daarvan op dieet zetten. Recent weer een overzicht over deze methoden. Ze klinken allemaal mooi en wetenschappelijk, zijn echter helaas geheel bogus. We citeren:

Recently, unconventional diagnostic methods are increasingly used. These include food specific IgG, antigen leucocyte antibody and sublingual/intradermal provocation tests, as well as cytotoxic food and applied kinesiology and electrodermal testings. 

These lack scientific rationale, standardisation and reproducibility. There have been no well-designed studies to support these tests, and in fact, several authors have disproved their utility. These tests, therefore, should not be advocated in the evaluation of patients with suspected food allergy because the results do not correlate with clinical allergy and may lead to misleading advice and treatment.
