Allergy Testing and Nutritional Balancing is a simple safe procedure using muscle testing (applied kinesiology) to test for food sensitivities. The procedure is to look at foods first, to heal the digestive system by eliminating those challenging foods and by giving supplements to improve the biochemistry of the environment and also repair the structure of the gut. 

 

Healing the gut can have a huge knock on effect on the health of the whole body. However other organs and functions for example the liver or kidneys may need additional support. 

 

Any environmental or emotional factors that may be challenging the system need to be considered and addressed in a variety of ways. I draw on my experience of nutrition, naturopathy and traditional Chinese medicine to look deeply into the underlying causes of illness and their remedies in order to understand your individual health requirements. 

 

At the end of the session you will leave supported by a plan of action to deal with your health issues nutritionally, and an understanding of why your body will benefit from this approach. 

 

Thousands of years ago practitioners of ancient Chinese medicine observed that food had a major effect on health. Some foods make one person thrive, the same food may cause another to struggle and even eventually cause chronic illness. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Add to this that so much food is highly processed and has been changed greatly from its original form - some digestive systems seem to cope with these changes while others cannot. At some point our gut may tire of dealing with the challenging foodstuffs we have given it, and it’s a bit of a shock when there’s a sudden reaction in the form of symptoms. 

 

The culprit may be ‘hidden allergies’ discovered by Dr Herbert Rinkel and supported by the findings of the researcher Hans Selye with his Adaptation Syndrome Research. They found that the body copes as best it can with a food it is struggling to digest, and all seems well because our body is doing a very good job in disguising the fact that there’s a problem (it adapts). However this puts more of a strain on the immune system and can in turn effect the functioning of the liver and other organs. Eventually the on-going stress to the system along with other stresses proves too great and the reaction is illness. 

 

Dr Rinkel realised that symptoms were a warning sign that something was wrong. Therefore it is important if you have symptoms that you check whether any foods or substances in your environment are challenging your system. Allergy therapy and nutritional balancing is a very safe, non-invasive and effective way of finding out what your body needs to be in optimum health.
