The Treatment

This involves one Nutritional consultation of 1 hour and 3 follow-ups of half an hour. It concentrates on the individual’s case history, family history, present and past dietary patterns and illnesses, environmental factors, lifestyle and professional stress.

A nutritional questionnaire is completed and Keinesiology test is applied prior to the first session. Initial consultation lasts for one hour and involves gathering information, explaining the findings and drawing a diet and supplement programme according to the client’s needs. The treatment is structured in phases so that the client feels comfortable with the changes, easy to follow guidelines, which eventually lead to a better health. The first phase normally includes exclusion, inclusion or avoidance of some foods for a period of time until the body adjusts itself and the symptoms disappear. Supplements are introduced to correct any biochemical imbalances. Most clients initially experience an “adverse reaction”; known as withdrawal syndrome such as headaches, skin rashes, aches and pains, lack of energy and aggravations of the existing symptoms etc. This is for a short period only, which lasts a week; this is simply a symptom of detoxification. Once the withdrawal phase is over a sense of well-being is followed.

In some cases biochemical tests are carried out in well-known laboratories to find the potential imbalances. This will be recommended and discussed in due course. There will always be a telephone back-up to encourage clients to keep-up with the diet and get the support if any problem or question arises.
