Long-term, low-level health problems may not be life-threatening but they can be debilitating and distressing.
Many people nowadays, find that orthodox medicine is unable to help relieve their pain and discomfort and are turning to nutritional therapy as a way of taking control of their health.
Clinical nutrition is not just about eating a healthy diet or taking vitamin pills. A good nutritional therapist is highly skilled with a number of special techniques at his/her disposal.
A programme of nutritional therapy enables the body itself to eliminate toxins, restore balance and promote health and healing.
Each client receives an individually tailored programme, one part of which may be a therapeutic diet or even, simply advice about making minor changes to their current diet. It is important that digestion and absorption are both working efficiently and so advice on how to achieve this may be given before recommending herbs or vitamins and minerals.
The result can often be more energy, clearer thinking and improved relaxation.
Many people are interested nowadays in staying healthy and preventing illness. An occasional nutritional consultation is of value to those people who want to review their diet so that they can continue to nourish their body in a holistic way.
Allergy testing
Many people are becoming increasingly sensitive to foods and chemicals which are in regular use. This can put stress on the body and may reduce resistance to infection or even cause unpleasant symptoms such as headaches, mood swings or bloating.I use a Vega machine to test for food and environmental sensitivity. Although the test uses the energy flows of the acupuncture meridians, no needles are used, therefore the experience is pleasant and painless and suitable for people of any age.
Over 120 substances can be tested and the results are immediate.
Desensitising
This can be done using homoeopathically prepared remedies. Drops of the remedy are placed under the tongue, once, twice or three times daily for one week, and are amazingly successful. Remedies for any substance can be made up specifically for each individual.Hay fever desensitizing is different to usual desensitizing and takes place over two years. After taking the remedies daily, for two weeks, the main part of the programme consists of taking the remedies once weekly during the growing season. Included in the Hay fever desensitizing kit is an emergency remedy for use when the pollen count is high. Symptoms may be less during the first year and should be gone after the second year. It is best if the desensitizing is started in January but it is possible to start at any time.
Hair mineral analysis
Your hair can reveal a lot about the state of your health. It is much more than a test for minerals. It can help you identify:- Your metabolic rate
- Your stage of stress
- How your immune system is coping
- The activity of your adrenal and thyroid glands
- Your energy levels
- Levels of toxic minerals in your tissues
- And much more...
The test is not intended to be diagnostic and simply reflects long term metabolic activity over a three month period of time creating a blueprint of each individual’s biochemistry in order to identify stress, blood sugar and carbohydrate imbalances, metabolic rate and glandular imbalances.
