Testing Available

The most common tests are food sensitivity and hair testing and can easily be carried out during the first consultation if required. Food sensitivity testing consists of allergy and intolerance testing which speeds up the identification of possible food and inhalant allergens that may be contributing to a variety of health symptoms. Hair testing consists of a mineral analysis to provide indications of imbalances, deficiencies or excesses of essential minerals and toxic metals. It also acts as an excellent indicator of many metabolic processes occurring within the body.

Functional testing of blood, urine and saliva using the most up-to-date technology can sometimes help to get to the root of a persons health problems very quickly by identifying imbalances and dysfunctions in normal physiology. Some tests can be arranged through your G.P. but if this is not possible then we can discuss the benefits and costs of using one of several highly reputable private laboratories.

Examples of other tests include:

• Male and female hormone profiles to identify hormone imbalances.
• Thyroid screen to assess whether imbalances of thyroid hormones are responsible for health symptoms such as weight gain and fatigue.
• Liver detoxification capacity profile helps to assess how well the liver can convert and clear toxins from the body.
• Comprehensive stool analysis, to assess the client's ability to digest, absorb and metabolise nutrients, as well as report on levels of bacteria, yeast and parasites which may be contributing to health problems.

The client is responsible for keeping their G.P. informed of any tests that are carried out privately.
