For about 8 years I had been able to eat only a limited amount of vegetables, salmon, tuna, avocado, and having to eat plain crisps as a way of consuming extra calories and fat. I dropped to 7st, looked too skinny, and was constantly hungry. I was eating for survival rather than enjoyment...breakfast was broccoli and brussels for years. My nutritional therapist was out of ideas so suggested I contact Dr Econs at the Burghwood Clinic, and I had my first appointment with him August 2022. He ran a few tests to check a few things with the aim of eliminating/checking for certain issues before proceeding with the low dose immunotherapy. In January 2023 I had my skin testing appointment and started my LDI treatment. I was so anxious that the treatment wasn't going to work, but I met a few customers during my testing who told me how much their lives had changed since starting the treatment, and after 3 or 4 weeks of injections I started to notice improvements. I generally have a bit more energy and don't always need my afternoon nap. Breakfast is now porridge or scrambled eggs and beans rather than vegetables. I can now also eat potatoes, rice, onions, carrots, almonds, peppers and tomatoes. I have gained about 8lbs and now enjoy my meals, and I feel happier in myself. I can't thank Dr Econs, Claire and the team enough for their help, advice and support. Their treatment and care has certainly had a massive impact on my life, and I recommend this clinic and treatment.
