During
the month of October, 2005, Dynamic Health conducted a survey of
patients who had been treated with CBT™ therapy for
their food allergies.
How the Study was Conducted
This study was conducted by contacting all of Dynamic Health’s
139 patients who had received CBT™ treatments for food
allergies between June 24, 2003 and October 13, 2005. Each patient
had received only one treatment for each specific food allergy. A
minimum of two attempts were made to contact each patient, and 111
patients were contacted successfully.
During either a telephone or in-person interview, patients were
asked whether or not CBT™ was effective in eliminating
their allergic reaction to each specific food for which they had
been treated. Among the 111 patients surveyed, a total of 198 allergies
were treated (many patients having been treated for multiple allergies).
Treatment Results
For 16 of the 198 surveyed treatments, patients replied that they
were uncertain whether or not their CBT treatment was effective.
Accordingly, those 16 treatments were not included in the result
set.
Of the resulting 182 food allergy treatments, patients replied that
156 CBT treatments were effective, and 28 treatments were
ineffective.
According to the results of the study, CBT™ is 84.6%
effective in eliminating allergic reactions to common foods (shown
in the table to the right), with a statistical margin of error of
5.1% at a 90% confidence interval.
