The International ImuPro Advisory Board

Our committee of medical doctors and scientists

Our International ImuPro Scientific Advisory Board was founded in 2013. The board members have several decades of experience in using ImuPro in their daily medical practices, thus providing valuable expert knowledge. Every two years, this Scientific Advisory Board meets to discuss the latest development in IgG food allergy and other related topics in the field of immunology.

We share experiences and best practices, in order to offer our clients the best service possible and to constantly improve our products. In between the two-yearly-meetings, the head of the committee (Dr. Camille Lieners/ Luxembourg) cares for the scientific exchange among its members.

Dr. Camille Lieners

What is your specialization in medicine and in your surgery?

  • PHD and a lab director, running private labs since 1989
  • Studied biochemistry, food chemistry and microbiology at the Technical University of Vienna

How long is your experience with ImuPro?

I started with ImuPro in 2001 and have been working with the tests ever since.

How many patients could you help with ImuPro?

So far, I have followed up more than 30,000 cases.

Why do you work with ImuPro?

ImuPro is the first laboratory test in my career that provides opportunities for the patient to improve and manage his health. Food as such can be considered as foreign to our body, although it is necessary to survive, and fortunatelly in most cases we have developped tolerance, but in case of rejection by the immune system, it can also lead to chronic inflammatory diseases. Imupro can identiy these foods for each individual and helps to create a personalized healthy diet and avoid chronic inflammatory diseases.

What is your biggest treatment success with ImuPro?
Any special case you can’t get out of your head?

Well, there are many, like a 57-year-old woman, suffering from constipation for more than 17 years, one defecation every 10 days. You can imagine how she suffered. Her gynaecologists thought it were the ovarian which caused the pain and removed them. No improvement. She had numerous gastro- and colonoscopies in two university hospitals, no findings. Finally, her gastroenterologist suggested a reduction of colon. But fortunately for
her, a naturopath sent her for the Imupro-test. It turned out that she had a strong reaction to gluten and 57 other foods. By avoiding them and changing her diet, she had normal stool after 2 weeks again. When I met her, she cried and hugged me, and said that I saved her life. A quite unusual experience for a lab pathologist!

Why do you work with ImuPro

In many cases of unsolved diseases and complaints, it turns out that food sensitivity plays a major role. Unclear symptoms, headaches, muscle aches, breathing disorders, allergies, gastro-intestinal complaints – in many of these cases, the key is in Food Sensitivity Test.

What is your biggest treatment success with ImuPro?
Any special case you can’t get out of your head?

I cannot think of no one special dramatic event. As mine is a private clinic, the patients usually just report on improvement in their condition. In many cases there is a remarkable improvement with joint pain, headaches and gastro-intestinal problems.

What is your specialization in medicine and in your surgery?

  • Specialist in General Western Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Homeopathy and Western Phytotherapy (herbal therapy)

How long is your experience with ImuPro?

In 2005, I heard about ImuPro for the first time. Since then, I have recommended the test to a large number of my patients.

Why do you work with ImuPro?

I had been looking for quite a while for a test which could search for incompatibilities concerning immunity on a nutriment field and heard about ImuPro. I see ImuPro as a bonus in the treatment of chronic diseases as well as infectious or auto-immune diseases. Even some of my cancerous patients have profited from the change in diet; also those who have degenerations problems have been profiting from the benefits of ImuPro. They take less allopathic remedies and recover to a healthy state faster.

For me as a doctor, the ImuPro test is a very important component in the diagnosis and in most cases also the first step towards causal therapy.

What is your biggest treatment success with ImuPro?
Any special case you can’t get out of your head?

A 65-year-old patient with ankylosing spondylitis and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and shortness of breath showed a moderate reaction to cereals containing gluten in the ImuPro test. After following the ImuPro recommendations, his back pain has reduced significantly, the atrial fibrillation has occurred much less frequently and the shortness of breath has disappeared.

Eindhoven, Netherlands

What is your specialization in medicine and in your practice/surgery?

  • Medical Analytical Chemistry Engineer
  • Background working in Haematology and Clinical hospital laboratory for 10 years. Microbiology laboratory in food, water and zoonosis for 12 years.
  • Former Laboratory Director in a medical laboratory for almost 30 years.
  • Besides the clinical chemistry department I founded the Microbiology department.
  • Specialties are general immunology and Lyme Disease

How long is your experience with ImuPro?

I think almost from the beginning when ImuPro came on the market.  So since 2000.

How many patients could you help with ImuPro?

Over the years that will be thousands of patients.

Why do you work with ImuPro?

I guess you might say that it is one of my babies that I have helped grow up. I have seen so many people who completely recovered from their problems by using ImuPro. Not only the ones that are overweight, also intestinal and skin problems. For me personally, it helped me to get rid of my headaches and migraine that I have had for years.

Food is the basis of our health and we need to get adverse immunologic reactions in the gut under control before we, in cases of Lyme Disease for instance, use a antibiotic regime. ImuPro helps us to lower the low grade inflammation in the patient. These low grade inflammation has been categorised as “a silent killer”. Low grade inflammation is involved in dozens of pathological pathways and that’s why ImuPro is so important for me also as the basis of a treatment.

What is its relevance in your Medical Health Center.

Food is the basis of our health and we need to get adverse immunologic reactions in the gut under control before we, in cases of Lyme Disease for instance, use a antibiotic regime.  ImuPro helps us to lower the low grade inflammation in the patient.  That’s why ImuPro is part of almost every treatment protocol we have in our center.

What is your biggest treatment success with ImuPro?
Any special case, you can’t get out of your head?

Several years ago, a colleague called me and said he would like to have my help in a case of a young girl, age about 6 years. The MD told me, the girl was admitted in the hospital because of chronic diarrhoea. Although she was in the hospital her condition deteriorated and at one point the paediatrician and the dietician decided the girl needed extra feeding by a line through the nose directly in the stomach. The girl even deteriorated more.
On my advice, blood was taken for ImuPro (This was also a big struggle, because the hospital not agreed: “There was no scientific proof for ImuPro to help”). But there was also no other protocol which helped the poor girl at this point. So, due to the pressure of the parents, the blood was taken and ImuPro was done. When you looked at the trigger foods, they were almost the same products as the girl got with the line-feeding. The reactions for milk and milk products were extremely high, also gluten, wheat and other grains. After removing the nose-feeding and rechanged the dietary intake, the girl went to school several weeks later. The reaction of the MD and parents were : “If the girl would have been treated in the hospital with this kind of nose-feeding, she would have died”.

More than 800 patients approximately.

Why do you work with ImuPro?

Because it is a simple way to find out if you may have an IgG-mediated food allergy, quickly and reliably, as a diagnosis to start a more personalized nutritional treatment for my patients.

What is your biggest treatment success with ImuPro?
Any special case you can’t get out of your head?

During all these years in my consultations I had different patients where I used the ImuPro test for the specific diagnosis of food allergies.
A particular case was that of a female patient, approximately 35 years old, who came to my office with hives, headaches, gas, and digestive discomfort for several months. After performing the ImuPro Complete, testing 270 foods, she followed a specialized diet going through a 6-week elimination stage along with the use of digestive enzymes, low-histamine foods, probiotics, omega 3, vitamin D3, magnesium citrate. She improved to the point that all her symptoms have disappeared.

  • PhD specializing in pediatrics
  • Main competences are in pediatrics, nephrology, ultrasound, integrative (alternative) medicine, specifically gemmotherapy and homeopathy.

How long is your experience with ImuPro?

I have been using ImuPro in this field for aboI have been using ImuPro in this field since 2012.

How many patients could you help with ImuPro?

More than 1000 patients.

Why do you work with ImuPro?

As an Associate Professor, I teach the university students about chronic/inflamatory/ autoimmune diseases. Any chronic illness has a triggering or sustaining cause, inflammation being almost always present. The healing path is the reverse of the production path.

I work in a hospital that has become known for solving complicated cases. When other hospitals are unable solve a case, they usually send the patients to us. For me, IgG mediated allergies and dysbiosis are essential.

What is your biggest treatment success with ImuPro?
Any special case you can’t get out of your head?

I remember a 5 years old boy who has developed a type 1 diabetis which has to be treated with insulin injections of 2 different types. He often suffered under hyperglycaemia overnight which has to be treated with fast-acting insulin. An ImuPro test has shown 115 reactions with strong reactions against dairy products, gluten, egg and garlic. Following the ImuPro diet starting in April the maximum glucose values decreased from 370 to only 180 in June! In July one of the insuline administration of one type could be stopped, the dosis of the other insulin type could be reduced from 4 to 1 mm. A remarkable treatment success with ImuPro!

  • For a better understanding of the care we provide, the department has been called the Center for Precision 5P Medicine since 2018
  • My wife MUDr. Gabriela Horová is responsible for quick, safe and the latest aesthetic treatment

How long is your experience with ImuPro?

ImuPro has been a part of our routine care for examination of food hypersensitivities since 2014.

How many patients could you help with ImuPro?

Currently, we provide ImuPro analysis not only to clinic patients, but also to the patients with self-collection of a dry drop of blood at home. The number of patients examined in this way is unlimited.

Why do you work with ImuPro?

Analysis of food hypersensitivity is an integral part of our concept of precision medicine. The combination of ImuPro analysis and examination of the gut microbiome and intestinal pathophysiology is an ideal tool for the patients treatment.

What is your biggest treatment success with ImuPro?
Any special case you can’t get out of your head?

We are proud of treating our children patients with atopic eczema. There have been already so many success stories with these patients that they merge into one big picture of a satisfied mother with her child.

The second unforgettable group are patients with psychological problems, where we have had a number of successes with chronic fatigue, depression or autism.

The third group I have to mention are patients with IBS or IBD, where precise elimination and careful introduction of the diet together with correction of the microbiome is the key to solving these diseases.

What is your specialization in medicine and in your surgery?

  • General practitioner with homeopathic and phytotherapy orientation.
  • Diploma in Nutrition, one in Cancerology and a diploma of Genetics and Immunology.
  • Specialized in Nutrition
  • Author of several books about Nutrition and cancer (available in French)

How long is your experience with ImuPro?

I started working with ImuPro in 2006

Why do you work with ImuPro?

ImuPro offers me the best way to find the true food intolerances and to understand the causes of the patient’s symptoms. Furthermore, it allows me to go faster towards the solution and relieve my patient’s complaints more quickly. Thus he avoids taking unnecessary medication because if those foods that have been tested IgG positive are excluded, many symptoms disappear.

What is your biggest treatment success with ImuPro?
Any special case you can’t get out of your head?

Since I have been using ImuPro I have had many spectacular results. The ones that have made the biggest impact on me have been migraines, constipation, eczema and asthma. A 50 year old patient had migraines since she was 14 years old. After applying the results of the Imupro assessment, her migraines were reduced by 90% within 2 months.
