Immunity
A compromised immune system can affect the function of all systems in the body and needs to be taken into account in many illnesses and conditions.
A test using the Health Detective Screening System will help to identify other factors that may be lowering the immune system such as food intolerances and possible nutritional deficiencies. We have found that a lowered resistance to colds and an inability to shift a cold within a few days, can be due to adrenal fatigue and so all are checked.
Once the root cause behind a lowered immunity is identified, the correct nutritional and herbal remedies can be used to boost the body. We have had much success with people who have repeated infections, colds, mouth ulcers, cold sores or constantly feeling a bit 'fluey' and 'achy' but nothing manifesting. As the immune system is the pinnacle of our well-being it can easily become challenged by poor diet, long-term emotional upset and long working hours.
The test looks at the various factors that can be causing an imbalance in the body and a Programme is tailored to encourage a return to vibrant health. This may include a short detoxification period, herbal remedies, nutritional supplements, or introducing certain foods into your diet to achieve immune health.
Please telephone or email to book an appointment and ask for the 'Food/ Vitamin & mineral and Hormone Test'. The test takes about an hour.
