Tests and Supplements

You may be advised to have diagnostic tests.
Tests are often helpful to the therapist in identifying the root cause of a health problem. Test results are considered only as an indicator of body processes and not as a diagnosis.
Various types of samples may be used for different diagnostic tests, depending on the condition.
I maintain a close affiliation with world-class and industry leading diagnostic laboratories in England, Europe and North America.

For starters, you should try to arrange a diagnostic test through your GP.

If time is important and/or tests are unavailable through the NHS, I will assist you and/or your GP by making all arrangements with carefully selected laboratories.

...and then, I will carefully analyse the test results in the context of your full clinical profile. The results will be clearly explained in jargon-free, plain English and integrated into your follow-up programme.

A Word of Caution...

You may have seen advertisements for testing techniques or methods for identifying all health problems. Many of these operators use procedures which have not been scientifically tested or proven to work nor accepted by any regulatory agency. Others use unreliable methods, claim results without evidence and are not acting according to any health industry good practice guidelines.

Results of mail order laboratory testing services and the like may not be accepted or useable by registered practitioners and medical doctors.

It is truly a BUYER BEWARE jungle that is best avoided!

Food allergy and food intolerance is a critical area where an unreliable testing method or incorrect interpretation of results may actually cause health problems rather than offer relief.

At best, you might simply be wasting your money and time with these so called quick fix or computerised health diagnosis programmes.

Nutritional Supplements

To achieve therapeutic healing effects, use only top quality food supplements from reputable and regulated manufacturers and distributors.

Although the focus of our sessions will be on food, advice and specific recommendations for nutritional supplements may also be given as part of the overall personalised programme. Food supplements may accelerate recovery by balancing any nutritional deficiencies that may be associated with your condition.

BE AWARE...

Supplements have side effects, including:
