The First Consultation - (1.5 hours)
(Note: This is on a one-to-one basis, unless a parent is accompanying a child)

All aspects of the patient's past and present health symptoms will be discussed in the strictest confidence. Patients are encouraged to describe their health condition in detail, including any contributory mental and emotional factors, no matter how trivial they may seem. Family health history, previous illnesses and medications, dietary habits and general lifestyle are all taken into account, both to assist diagnosis and to guide the most practical treatment. No two people are alike and supplements that may be appropriate for one person, may not necessarily be right for another, even though they may both be suffering from the same health complaint

A diet sheet, together with vitamin and mineral supplements are prescribed at the first consultation. It is recognised that many people, through pressure of work or routine, are unable to undertake a rigorous or extreme exclusion diet. It should be stressed that individual routines are taken account of and the depth and speed of treatment can be adjusted to suit individual patient needs and circumstances. Children are tested for sensitivity to a range of 16 foods during the first consultation, and adults are trested on appropriate foods and certain mineral deficiencies.

Second Consultation – (45 minutes)

The second consultation follows 2 weeks later. This consultation is particularly important, as many changes will have taken place, after commencement of the diet and supplement treatment.

Although patients may not suffer from any primary food allergies, testing for a basic range of foodstuffs is undertaken, using applied kinesiology. This is a non-invasive testing method that gives immediate results and identifies if any of a range of around 36 substances may impede treatment. If mild sensitivity is identified, this may influence the further choice of mineral or vitamin supplements, whilst in more severe cases these foods should be restricted during the initial phase of treatment. In all but the most extreme cases, patients are able to tolerate these (often most favourite), foods once the treatment progresses

Follow-up Consultations – (45 minutes)

Depending on the speed of progress and response to treatment, some minor adjustments may be required periodically to the diet or supplements. Further foods can also be tested once treatment has progressed and patients are encouraged to bring any foods, drinks or cosmetics they regularly use for testing if sensitivity to these is suspected.

Follow-up consultations are essential to gauge progress and address any problems or questions that have arisen. In many instances symptoms will subtly change as the treatment takes effect and progress will be accelerated if the prescription is adjusted in pace with these improvements. For many patients, only a single follow-up consultation will be necessary, whilst others may choose to continue occasional visits to maintain their progress, or to extend treatment at a deeper level.

PAYMENT: No credit card facilities. Cheques or cash payable at time of consultation

The efficiency of treatment is dependent upon the patient's co-operation and sufficient amount of time being given to the treatment itself. The diet and supplements prescribed are completely personal to the individual and should NEVER BE SUBSTITUTED WITH OTHER BRANDS THAT MAY APPEAR TO BE THE SAME. They are not all of equal quality and some are completely inappropriate. It is essential therefore, to adhere to the prescribed supplements only. Many of the supplements in health shops contain Soya and other ‘filler’ ingredients that can delay, or even prevent the treatment from working.
