Intravenous vitamins and nutrients are available.
During consultation, a comprehensive history followed by appropriate examination and investigation is undertaken to go further into the the foundation of health by looking at gut health, adrenal function, allergies, sleep, thyroid function and hormone levels.
Extensive testing is available which may indicate imbalances in the body including:
standard blood tests
hair mineral analysis
comprehensive salivary hormone testing
food intolerance and allergy testing
functional liver detoxification profiles and complete digestive stool analysis
heavy metal screening
Tailored treatment regimes are aimed at correcting the basic imbalance and its cause, as well as providing symptomatic relief. Proper balance is achieved by providing the molecular environment that allows the body to heal itself. This is done by attention to basic nutrition, providing those nutrients that are found lacking or reducing those found in excess. Mineral, vitamin, and herbal supplements are added where diet cannot satisfy the individual's need for nutrients.
Environmental toxins are eliminated as far as possible. For optimum results, a regular program of physical exercise and relaxation is advised. Stressors of emotional, psychological and social origin must also be dealt with, as part of a total treatment program.
