>>   Nutritional Medicine Nutritional Medicine Nutritional Medicine is a holistic therapy, based upon naturopathic principles, which aims to raise the life force and enhance the body's healing process without the use of chemical drugs. Each and every one of us has the capability within, to heal the body naturally. Nutritional Medicine works by raising the patient's own healing processes to eliminate accumulated toxins, which overburden the body, so causing ill-health. The removal of these toxins allows the immune system to properly function, which results in the improvement of overall health, physically, mentally and emotionally. Nutritional Medicine addresses illness and disease by its' root cause, not by symptomatic treatment.  I am looking for the correlation of mind and body as the mental body is not disassociated from the physical body.  In this sense depression, stress and adrenal exhaustion can manifest into physical symptoms.  I assess my patient bearing this in mind, as well as looking for suppressive previous treatments, heavy metal toxicity, vitamin/mineral imbalances, vaccinations and diet. Health is restored through the detoxification of acquired and inherited toxins, mineral balancing and diet. A brief list of conditions that respond particularly well are shown opposite.  If you are unsure if treatment would be of benefit, or would like to discuss your symptoms before making an appointment, please contact me and I will give a frank appraisal of the appropriateness of nutritional medicine treatment for your condition.
