Consultations
First Consultation:
All aspects of your past and present health symptoms will be discussed in the strictest confidence. You are encouraged to describe your health conditions 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, to fit the practicalities of your lifestyle.
Personalised Diet Plan
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 so I aim to make it a realistic health plan. As no two people are the same, 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. The depth and speed of the health plan can be adjusted to suit needs and circumstances.
Food Testing
Testing of a basic range of foodstuffs is initially undertaken, using applied kinesiology, with clinical laboratory tests as a further option where required. Kinesiology is a non-invasive testing method that gives immediate results and identifies if any of a range of around 30 substances that may impede treatment. This is included in the consultation fee. 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. In all but the most extreme cases, these foods can be re-introduced in time. I also offer free email/telephone support in the first two weeks of the initial consultation. I also offer blood tests which detect food-specific IgG antibodies to around 120 different foods if requested.
Follow-up Consultations
Follow-up consultations help to gauge progress and make any adjustments that may be necessary, as in many instances symptoms will subtly change as the programme takes effect, and progress will be accelerated if the prescription is adjusted in pace with these improvements. For many patients, only one or two 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. Some minor adjustments may be required periodically to the diet or supplements. Further foods can also be tested during follow-up consultations. You are encouraged to bring any foods, drinks or cosmetics you regularly use for testing, if sensitivity to these is suspected.
