FOOD SENSITIVITY TESTING AND CANDIDA

Allergy testing is done via Kinesiology, it is painless, accurate and helps to find the causes of stomach, complaints, mood problems, arthritis, hormonal problems and cholesterol problems. I see many people with Candida overgrowth problems which causes huge issues and is behind many chronic illnesses. The most common symptoms are stomach complaints, such as bloating, gassiness, heartburn and food cravings (sweets, biscuits, chocolate, salt etc). Energy is often down with fatigue, poor memory, “feeling spacey”, irritable, depressed and poor concentration. Over 70% of our immune system, is in the gut, so if the gut is struggling with sensitivities, the body can be effected in many ways.

We test for all of the common foods, animal hairs, pollen, metals etc. Sometimes there is one single sensitivity that can be causing issues in the body- we will be able to guide you in detoxing from this substance and how to bring it back into your lifestyle in moderation.

Itchiness is common with candida, especially around the eyes, ears, scalp and nose. The nose may be blocked, there may be sinus problems, and an intolerance of tobacco smoke, perfumes and chemicals. Symptoms may be worse on damp, muggy days.

Symptoms of candida overgrowth may include, burning or tingling sensations, muscle aches, painful and/or swollen joints, bowel disorders, vaginal discharge or itching. Headaches may be frequent, vision may be erratic, loss of balance, pressure above the ears, rashes, dry mouth, bad breath, tightness in the chest or shortness of breath, urinary frequency and discomfort when urinating.

Candida overgrowth can be caused by; Antibiotics, cortisone type drugs, birth control pills, H.R.T., pregnancy, high stress levels, or a diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrates. All these damage the good bacteria in our bodies, thus allowing the candida yeast to spread throughout the body and lead to the above symptoms.

HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine that can help with just about any ailment, physical or emotional. It was founded by Samuel Hahnemann hundreds of years ago, and has been successful in treating anything from earaches to mental health. The remedies are made from natural substances and can be taken by people of any age. It is safe and effective, it can be taken even if you are on medications. Homeopathy is individual to each person, so we will talk for approximately one hour then we will work out which tablet/remedy suits you.
