Allergies and Intolerance

Food allergy and intolerance can cause a wide range of symptoms. Identifying, limiting or eliminating the foods or other substances that cause problems for you can be a positive step to enhancing your health.

The word 'allergy' is a medical term for describing an exagerrated reaction by the immune system to a specific substance or antigen. A very small percentage of the population present with true allergies, whereas an intolerance or sensitivity to a substance is far more common. Unlike a true allergy, symptoms can also be delayed or build up over a period of time because of constant exposure to the substance, e.g. a wheat intolerance, where bread is being eaten every day.

Kinesiology uses precise bio-energetic testing to identify the substances which are a cause of stress to the body. Your energy meridian system can also be brought back into balance as a whole, using non-invasive techniques, which can then help you cope better with substances to which you are sensitive and may also prevent the recurrence of reactions.

Food Sensitivity Testing

We offer Sensitivity Testing for a wide range of substances including common foods (wheat, dairy, yeast, eggs, meat, nuts etc.), drinks, E-numbers and food additives, as well as chemicals, pollutants, personal care products, parasites, pesticides, pollens, dust, moulds, heavy metals and more. You are also welcome to bring in specific foods or substances where you would like your response tested.

Where a stress reaction is indicated, we can check the tolerance level with Kinesiology. Sometimes, it is only a question of moderating intake of the problem food. Sensitivity Testing may also indicate whether a substance is currently detrimental to health and could be eliminated from the diet. In either case, Kinesiology testing can help to identify the course of action to take.

Holistic Intolerance Testing may indicate where an underlying imbalance is also contributing to symptoms of ill health. This may need to be addressed first to optimise the conditions for healing. Balancing the body's energy systems at the level directed by your own body through Kinesiology can help to eliminate or reduce symptoms further.

Nutritional Testing - Nutrients, Digestion, Diet

We also offer Nutritional Testing with Kinesiology as long-term intolerance to foods or poor diet combined with a sluggish digestive system can often lead to problems in nutritional uptake and contribute to symptoms of ill health. There may be deficiencies or imbalances of nutrients through lack of absorption, assimilation or ineffective elimination. Supplementation may sometimes be needed, but often the body has just become unable to process the nutrient properly and needs 'resetting' to help restore effective function.

The balance of nutrients and aspects of digestion may be tested with Kinesiology. Because Kinesiology 'asks your body' what it needs to help it heal itself, it can help to rebalance the body's response to a nutrient where this is indicated, and provide guidance on whether supplementation may be beneficial at the present time. Kinesiology may also indicate whether other sources of imbalance are stress triggers which are negatively affecting your digestive system and other aspects of health.
