Case Studies

George is a Finance Director and works in the City

When George came to us he had given up the hope of looking for a new job, as his bloating and wind had become an uncomfortable problem in his life. He was also suffering a sharp pain in his left hand side. He had consulted his GP with no luck apart from being told he had a parasite called Helicobacter Pylori, which he had been prescribed antibiotics for. At our first consultation we decided to conduct two tests; one for food intolerance and the other to see what was going on in his gut (CDSA with parasitology). We provided him with a pack on how to vary his eating and waited for his results to be returned from the lab. George was often on the email to us wondering how we could weave this new way of eating into his life.

The results of the tests were interesting - firstly, he had a gluten intolerance, as well as dairy and eggs, and second, his gut test showed that he had a bacterial infection and multiple parasites. We encouraged him to eliminate all the problem foods whilst carefully making sure that these foods were replaced with others. We gave him a parasite cleanse whilst giving him some supplements to improve his immune system (he'd been suffering from lots of sniffly colds).

We always say that parasites are a bit of a long story, but 9 months later he is actively looking for a job and is very encouraged to see that his intolerable bloating has cleared up along with his parasites.

Andrew is a corporate executive and lives in Mayfair

Andrew came to us having been to his doctor suffering from complete exhaustion, lack of concentration, digestive problems and a band of weight gain around his stomach. We conducted a selection of biochemical tests which revealed that he was suffering amongst other problems adrenal exhaustion, and that his blood iron levels were down.

Although he has a host of other complaints, we concentrated on the most pressing issue first - his adrenal exhaustion.

The adrenal glands produce stress hormones that help the body deal with stress. If these hormones are out of balance, total exhaustion can result. The hormones correct themselves when the stressors are removed. We looked at dietary stressors and how they could be contributing; stimulants such as tea and coffee, potential allergens, e.g. wheat and vitamin robbers such as alcohol and junk food. We negotiated cutting down at first, but Andrew was ready to take the full challenge as he realised that his health was in serious danger of deteriorating further.

He took on the full programme, changed his diet to a wholefoods, cut out stimulants and began a tailor-made supplement programme.

We also recommended acupuncture sessions and to find a suitable method of relaxation, this took the form of a personal trainer, starting off with gentle exercise.

Three months later the results were spectacular, he had lost the weight around his stomach and he was coping with the demands of running a busy company - in short, his life was in balance.

Jane works in Government and lives in Westminster

Jane is in a very demanding job and although her diet and lifestyle are exemplary she came to us complaining of stomach bloating after eating. We recommended a CDSA test (Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis), and it showed two rather nasty types of parasites. With the use of herbal agents we eliminated these and now she is back in full form.
