Helping You To Understand Your Asyra Report
Your practitioner has run a number of tests using the Asyra screening system to assist her/him in gaining a clear understanding of your health status. The particular tests that your practitioner used will vary depending on the circumstances of your case and your practitioners approach and background. The general principles behind all the tests are the same.
Our practitioners are extensively trained, with a lot of experience in the reading and interpretation of Asyra results. The value of the tests lies in the recommendations and prescription given to you by your practitioner in your consultations. Copies of the reports are given to you purely for your interest. Please do not expect to necessarily obtain any useful extra information from interpreting them yourself.
This document serves as a very rough guide but cannot in any way replace the interpretation and guidance that your experienced practitioner has provided.
The Colours and Numbers
As a general rule, for all the tests, the colour-coding in the tests is as follows. The numbers indicate the severity of the state identified.
Red > 55 Stressed, Acute or Inflamed Yellow < 45 Chronic, Weakened or Depleted Green 45-55 Balanced
Identification Of Health Challenges
Tmests may have identified some disease causing agents. They may appear very serious! Again, do not worry about the appearance of your results. Any serious health concerns will have been addressed in your consultation. The identification of such health challenges merely indicates that they were resonant in your system at the time of the test perhaps indicating recent exposure or that it is one of the many minor challenges your immune system deals with day to day.
Your Results
The tests measure the response of your body (via changes in the electrical resistance of the skin) to the electronically recorded signatures of conditions.
Using the food test as an example: approximately two hundred different foods and phenolics (compounds contained within foods) were tested. Foods that appear on your list are there because your body responded to that output with a stressed (red) or weakened (yellow) response i.e at the time of the test it was indicated that they presented a challenge to your body.
Please bear two things in mind: Firstly, that the majority of food intolerances are not static. A persons tolerance for foods changes not only as health improves and the systems of the body balance out, but also over the course of a day and depending on what else has been consumed recently. The second thing to bear in mind is that the Asyra highlights the foods that have caused the greatest spike reactions to the tests. Much like the peeling of an onion, the larger layers (spikes) are dealt with first, and then the next layer, and so on until the body and systems are greatly improved in condition.
The named food group next to a yellow or red coloured box indicates the library from which the food intolerance was identified and the nature of the challenge that was identified. The specific food item listed below the group indicates the particular food from that group that was identified as problematic. You should ignore the Green box next to the food itself, which is a feature of the software as it is used for other tests beyond food intolerances.
A yellow box next to the group label indicates that the specific food identified is weakening the system and your practitioner MAY recommend that the food be avoided for the time being. If the food group is labelled with a red box, it indicates that the item is stressing the system and again, your practitioner may recommend avoidance for a time. In some cases, using the insight from your case history and the reports from the Asyra, the practitioner will advise you to avoid groups of foods.

The example above illustrates how the report places a red or yellow box beside a food group, and lists the individual item tested underneath. Depending on the specifics of the case, your practitioner may recommend that only some of the yellow or red foods should be avoided. In some cases, avoiding certain foods that might appear on the list may not actually be beneficial so the recommendation will not be made.
Additionally, your practitioner may advise you to avoid a food that has not appeared on your print out. Please be assured that the advice would have been given for a reason and do not take its omission from the test results as an indication that it was a mistake.
Food Intolerances
Remember: food intolerances are not static. There are certain intolerances (particularly ones such as wheat, gluten, and lactose) that will show up repeatedly in subsequent tests and may be more of a long-term challenge. It can also be the case that intolerances you believe you have do not show up. This is usually because the body is not especially sensitive to that at the time of testing or because the reaction is based on some component of that food usually a phenolic compound. The graph below should help explain why many food intolerances are not static.
The line in the graph above illustrates the reaction in an individuals body throughout the day to the intake of a phenolic to which they are sensitive. Note that it starts elevated. Their sensitivity to the phenolic causes strong reactions upon intake, and the reactions have a cumulative effect. The identification and treatment of sensitivity to that phenolic will enable the body to ingest without this reaction or the cumulative effect.
Some phenolics will naturally cause stronger reactions within an individual than others (for example, commonly, those in wheat or dairy). This is normal. But experiencing symptoms of this is unnecessary in many cases. As the coloured lines in the graph show, if an individual is in good health, their body is less likely to be threatened by even relatively strong reactions. If the health of an individual is generally compromised, the body is more likely to show symptoms in reaction to ingestion of a substance to which it is sensitive.
Your treatment plan will be updated in accordance with your health status on your follow-up appointment so that the next layer of challenges can be addressed. By then, your efforts will be being reflected in the way you feel and in your appearance: you will be well on your way to the optimum health that you deserve!
