Frequently Asked Questions:

Nutritional Medicine can treat an acute illness with a fairly quick response. Since the organs of elimination have now been activated, the diet and supplementary prescriptions will be working to heal, rather than suppress the condition. In this instance, just one or two visits may be all that is needed to restore ones health.

Chronic illness presents a more involved approach as symptoms will have added complications brought on by previous suppressive treatments. In this case, unlike an acute illness, the treatment will need to proceed more slowly. The root cause of your illness will be dealt with but treatment may take longer as each patient detoxifies at their own pace.

How does it work in practice?

Extract from The Remedy Publication:

Sophie consulted Ann, a Nutritional Medicine Practitioner, with a vast range of symptoms including IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) with severe pain and bloating, excessive wind, candida, palpitations, skin eruptions on arms and shoulders for which she was using steroidal cream, falling hair with bald patches, excessive sweating and total lack of energy.

After taking a detailed case history, Ann tested her for food allergies with Applied Kinesiology, anf found her coffee consumption and cow's milk were in excess, as well as orange juice. She was also tested for parasite infestation which proved positive. "When I first walked through your door I honestly didn't think I would make it to the chair, that's how bad I was. My head permanently felt like cottonwool. I thought I was going mad - you've saved my life!"

The outcome of a change of diet with supplementation resulted in a complete recovery of all her symptoms, including her hair loss.

Ann always looks for hidden, underlying causes to illness and very often it is the unsuspecting foods that are at the root of the problem.

How do nutritional medicine and conventional medicine work together?

Although Nutritional Medicine can enhance conventional medicine, it must be understood that allopathic drugs, severely hinder the efficiency of the treatment, masking important symptoms, blocking elimination and sometimes producing side-effects. The two are not truly compatible. Whilst conventional medicine aims to treat individual conditions, the cause of your illness is not being addressed other than on a symptomatic and temporary level.

It must be stressed however, that under no circumstances must you alter or stop your drug prescription without consulting your doctor. Treatment with Nutritional Medicine will enable you to gradually reduce the dosage, but only with your doctors guidance. As your health improves, you may find that either a much reduced dosage, or none at all is required.
