Treatment Solutions

The aim of treatment is to reduce the toxic load in your body, and at the same time strengthen your immune response to the allergens or pathogens causing you problems.

The importance of Reducing the Toxic Load is illustrated in the following true story: A London lawyer suffered miserably from hay fever every summer, so badly that it affected his performance in court. An allergy test revealed sensitivities to several foods including chicken, salmon, and sesame seeds which he ate almost daily. He eliminated these foods altogether, and within a few days his hay fever cleared up completely. Now these foods were not directly causing his hay fever, but they were weakening his immune system. Eliminating them from his diet reduced the toxic load in his body and improved his immune response to the grasses and pollens directly causing his hay fever.

(Please see the Hay Fever page if you are a sufferer).

As well as avoiding problem foods, it often pays to look for underlying intestinal conditions and toxic states which predispose to allergy. These are more common than you might think, and include fungal overgrowth (usually candida), parasite infestation (worms), bacterial or viral presence, and toxic chemical and metal poisoning. Sensitivities often clear up once these conditions have been treated.

To strengthen immune response directly I use Homeopathy. I also use Herbal and Nutritional Medicines (for example, as antifungals, to restore balance to gut flora, or to remedy nutritional deficiency). All have a high rate of success, and are safe and non-toxic.

Homeopathic remedies are usually very effective, and for some people all that they need to get well. They treat our underlying susceptibility to the stresses, toxins and allergens that undermine our health. They can also be very helpful simply for symptom relief.

Many people benefit from Homeopathic Desensitisation (which means 'removing sensitivity'). This can be very effective, and is safely done using homeopathic potencies of the substances you are allergic to (eg. wheat, pollens, etc). These have added to them natural enzymes present in the body which help the treatment to hold. Desensitisation restores tolerance to foods, and to a wide range of other allergens which cannot be eliminated from our environments easily, such as house dust mite, pollens, diesel fumes, etc. (If you have a high degree of sensitivity to certain foods, a period of elimination may also be recommended).
