title: Vega testing in the diagnosis of allergic conditions. The Australian College of Allergy.
abstract: Vega testing (the Vega test method) is an unorthodox method of diagnosing allergic and other diseases. It has no established scientific basis and there are no controlled trials to support its usefulness. Vega testing may lead to inappropriate treatment and expense to the patient and community.
