Other Problems
xxxx
Anaphylaxis (Nut Allergy)
Potentially life-threatening allergic reactions.
Angio-Oedema
Acute swelling affecting eyes and lips, maybe linked with urticaria.
Asthma
Often allergy to dust mites, moulds pollens, animals or foods.
Eczema
Not just a simple allergy to dust, house dust mites, pets or moulds.
Hay Fever
Hay Fever symptoms are responsible for ruined exams and the lives of millions in glorious weather.
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)
A condition that causes mast cells to release an inappropriate amount of chemicals into your body.
Oral Allergy Syndrome
Tingling lips and mouth, oral burning, soreness - not a life sentence.
Perennial (allergic) Rhinitis
Can be caused by dust mites, food intolerance or even chemical sensitivity.
Pet Allergy
Itchy eyes, stuffy nose, sneezing and wheezing are treatable symptoms of dog and cat allergy.
Urticaria (hives)
Can be a local or generalised blotchy rash accompanied by skin irritation.
Wasp and Bee Sting Allergy
From localised swelling and redness to life-threatening symptoms, advice and treatment.
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease
Neurodegenerative diseases causing progressive damage to cells in the nervous system which can affect functions such as memory, behavior, and movement.
Amoebic Parasites: Blastocystis Hominis, Dientamoeba Fragilis, Entamoeba Histolytica
Rarely routinely tested for in the UK. Not only contracted in the tropics but also in the UK.
Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Behavioural problems in children which can be due to changes affecting the functionality of the brain and the immune system.
Babies and Children's Problems
Virus, infection or other cause?
Cancer
"Carcinogenesis” – single organ failure initially confined to the breast, lung, prostate or pancreas.
Candida and Fungal Problems
Yeasts are not just harmless micro-organisms causing trivial problems.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS / ME)
Is it all in the mind? Up to 80% of all people with chronic fatigue have a history of classic allergies.
Colitis and Crohn's Disease
Food intolerance is the main cause of Crohn's Disease, which fasting seems to stop.
Depression, Anxiety and Mental Illness
Not in the mind! Pharmaco-active substances and immune reactivities affect the brain cell chemistry. Depression and schizophrenia are now seen as disorders involving the immune system.
Fibromyalgia
Is persistent pain felt at specific points on the body.
Food Intolerance / Non-allergic Food Hypersensitivity
Responsible for many modern day conditions and ill-health.
Gluten & Wheat Intolerance and Coeliac Disease
Gluten Intolerance may not be the whole story, wheat and grains could be the problem.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Other Digestive Problems
Not a "psychosomatic" problem - Reflux, gastritis, gastric ulcers are all caused by infections (Helicobacter and Fungal or Bacterial Overgrowth and/or food reactivities)
Migraine
Is actually an immune phenomenon, its just the head reacting first. Why?
Motor Neuron Disease, Scleroderma Vitiligo and Lupus (systemic)
Conditions that relate to forms of chronic inflammation affecting the nervous system or connective tissue and randomly affect different parts of the body.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)
From food additives, perfume ingredients, fabrics, paints, petrol, detergents and fire retardants.
Obesity
Obesity is now described as the third epidemic and is linked to cancer and other diseases.
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
Acute or chronic Inflammation of joints in adults with or without positive blood markers of inflammation
Chelation
Chelation is any form of detoxification from metals, which uses specific chemical agents (orally or intravenously), known to be able to "bind" on metal molecules and dispose them. Common chelating agents used for this purpose include EDTA, DMPS, DMSA and a few others.
Dietary Management
Foods used regularly in a person’s diet often play a big part in the occurrence of specific or generalised symptoms, which modern Medicine fails to consider as diagnostic options due to the absence of highly accurate laboratory tests.
Enzyme Potentiated Desensitisation
An "ultra-low" dose method of immunotherapy for allergies to inhalants, foods or chemicals, when avoidance of the causal agents is not possible. EPD has been found to reduce levels of immunoglobulin E, after repeated booster doses, thereby preventing histamine release.
Gc group specific protein Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF): Immuno-modulating properties in Health
This type of glycoprotein is naturally found in the human body and has received extensive interest by the scientific community.
Intravenous Nutritional Therapy IVNT
A combination of high potency nutrients (vitamins, minerals and others) are used to improve quality of life along with other conventional treatments for problems related to the nervous system, memory/mental faculties, cancer, pain threshold, chronic inflammation and blood circulation.
Low-dose Immunotherapy
A highly customised method of desensitisation, which blocks immune reactions to foods, inhalants or environmental chemicals within a few weeks.
Low-dose Naltrexone
Naltrexone is a medication used to help people overcome addictive substances. Diluted versions of the same medicine are known to modulate the immune system and, as a result, reduce various types of inflammation.
Micro-immunotherapy
This approach to medical problems deploys micro-doses of cytokines (communication signalling proteins produced by immune system cells) to stimulate a more efficient performance of the immune system.
Nutritional Infusions
We are now able to arrange administration of some nutritional infusions at home or in specific clinical locations, for people who travelling difficult or are homebound. This service is currently available in parts of the Midlands and the South East.
Oral Nutritional Supplementation
Vitamins, minerals, essential fats and a host of other nutrients are working together to nurture every cell in the body, detoxify and support its thousands of reactions to optimise health
Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT)
Desensitisation for inhalant allergies, hay fever, cat allergy, dog allergy, house dust mites.
Blood Tests
Tests to identify classic allergies to inhalants and foods; to offer guidance in identifying non-allergic food hypersensitivities and deficiencies of important nutrients; to assess under-performing mitochondria, heavy metal and chemical load and the role of previous contact with infectious agents, which may affect the immune system.
Dietary Tests
Elimination and Challenge is the most effective and scientifically supported method to identify food reactivities and intolerances, if circumstances are appropriate. It is a potent tool in the diagnosis of food re-activities
Other Allergy Tests
Explanation of alternative allergy tests available on the market.
Skin Tests
A variety of tests to identify inhalant and food allergies as well as contact allergies to chemical agents.
