Treatment Solutions

The aim of treatment is to reduce the toxic load in your body, and at the same time strengthen your immunity to the substances causing you problems (and to illness generally).

The importance of toxic load reduction 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 causing adverse reactions which weakened his immune response. Eliminating them reduced the toxic load in his body and liberated his immune system to deal with the grasses and pollens directly causing his hay fever.

(If you suffer from hay fever, please look at the enclosed sheet Treatment for Hay Fever Sufferers).

As well as removing problem foods from our diets, there may be a need to look for intestinal conditions 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 immunity directly I use homeopathic remedies, and herbal and nutritional medicines with a high rate of success. All are safe and non-toxic.

Homeopathic remedies are usually very effective, and all that some people 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.

In addition, 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).
