"One
man's meat is another man's poison" - Lucretius
95-55 BC
Food and environmental sensitivities are the cause (or part
cause) of many common health problems today (e.g. fatigue, weight gain, IBS),
and these can be identified by allergy testing.
The 'Bigger Picture'
During your first consultation your health will be discussed in detail. Most people with allergies have other problems which predispose them to react to things in an allergic way. Often the body has reached a state of toxic overload which makes them more sensitive to potential allergens (see Toxicity Testing).
There are also lifestyle factors to consider, such as stress,
diet and eating habits, home and work environments, and so on. This ‘big picture’
will provide the context for understanding your allergies and for the treatment
and advice you will receive.
Testing Methods and Treatments
You will be tested for a range of allergies. The method used is clinical kinesiology (muscle testing), a safe and non-invasive approach which is both accurate and versatile. Very occasionally a diagnostic elimination diet known as The Stone Age Diet may be recommended to people who cannot be tested easily using kinesiology.
Two comprehensive blood tests are also offered to patients who want them – one is a food only test, the other a combined food and inhalent allergen test (both detect IgE and IgG antibody mediated allergies). Other laboratory tests are available if required.
Used individually or in combination, the above tests will provide a very accurate picture of your allergy status.
The aim of treatment is to strengthen your immunity to offending
allergens, while at the same time reducing the toxic load in your body. Health
is restored by means of homeopathic remedies, desensitisation, detoxification,
attention to diet, and nutritional medicines as required.
