It is suitable for all; I have treated babes in arms, toddlers, children through to adults and the elderly. I have found this way of treating allergies to be highly effective and relatively quick. Desensitisation is through homeopathic remedies and can be achieved over a short period of time in most cases . The oral desensitisation should not be confused with desensitisation by injection, but works rather by gently stimulating the body to develop natural immunity to the substances that have affected you. This system has been developed over the last 20 years, and recent trials at the Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital have shown a high level of effectiveness. The treatment is given by mouth and involves no restrictive diets and is very acceptable to patients. There are many different types of allergy testing available but few therapists are able to offer treatment other than total avoidance. This is not difficult if the offending substance is yams, pheasant or lobster but can the patient be absolutely certain of avoiding preservatives, additives, food colourings, wheat, soya or eggs?. It is also not a very practical solution if the offending allergen happens to be pollen, car exhaust fumes, house dust mites or formaldehyde. Few patients are sufficiently knowledgeable about nutrition to be able to exclude for example wheat and dairy products from a child’s diet and replace them with foods that will provide all the vitamins, minerals, and trace elements a growing child needs. That is why desensitisation whenever possible would seem to be preferable. This system is a holistic allergy therapy. The orthodox approach has usually been with antihistamines, drugs, or desensitising injections to attempt to reduce allergic over reaction and protect the body from itself. These allopathic treatments need to be used continuously and their effectiveness can often be disappointing. What can it treat? This system can treat many ailments some of which are detailed below: Food Allergies:- All foods including milk, wheat, dairy, eggs etc. Chemical & environmental allergies Allergies to animals Skin irritations IBS Hayfever Candida / Thrush Catarrh Digestive/stomach trouble Tiredness/low energy Swollen glands Depression Anxiety attacks & phobias Palpitations Irritability Headaches Mouth ulcers Aching joints & muscles Childhood hyperactivity Chronic sinusitis Chronic fatigue syndrome Sore dry eyes Unusal conditions that do not respond to drug related medicine What happens in a consultation? Applied kinesiology, a muscle balancing technique which evolved from chiropractic technique is used to test for sensitivities to foods and other substances. An over simplified explanation is that if a person is sensitive or allergic to a substance then the presence of that substance will produce a weakness of certain muscles, the strengths of which are tested and comparisons made. In this way a large number of substances can be tested in a comparatively short time. As well as food, chemical and environmental allergens, organ function, mineral and vitamin deficiencies, the presence of bacteria and parasites in the gut are also tested for. A past medical history is taken and life style, diet and stress factors within your life are recorded in order to build up a full picture from which appropriate treatment can be gleaned.
