It is best to allow approximately 1 hour for your first visit to facilitate taking patient history  / symptoms and your test.

Not at all … the screening system we use is non invasive, painless,  fast and effective.

The energetic screening system we use carries out accurate, detailed, non invasive health assessments within minutes. We test your response against a wide variety of test signatures maximising insight relating to internal organs, food preferences, environmental contaminants,nutritional factors, toxins, emotional patterns and many more. While a blood test gives us certain information, its scope and accuracy can be limited.A blood test can measure certain things, for example; if iron levels are low, blood cell count, raised enzyme activity but generally it cannot tell us why these things are happening.

Yes indeed it is. Not only is it as accurate but also we can get some insights in to WHY a person is showing a sensitivity to a particular food item.  For example; You may have an issue with digesting fats. This information is good to know, but what is as  important is ‘why’ you’re having this issue. There could be a number of reasons for this and unless we identify the underlying reason/reasons even if we eliminate the offending food/beverage when we reintroduce the food item the symptoms will return.The screening system we use is one of the very few screening systems on the market which can help us identify these underling issues causing the pattern of disharmony.

Yes, there is a vast difference.  A food allergy is an immune reaction to a specific food. It will occur each and every time you eat that food no matter how minute the amount. A food allergy occurs when your immune system mistakenly believes a food is dangerous and produces specific immunoglobulin E (ie) antibodies to neutralize that substance.

As part of this process your body will release histamine as well as other chemicals into your bloodstream anytime you eat the offending food. These chemicals cause the entire range of allergic symptoms which in some cases can be fatal.

In the case of a Food Intolerance / Reaction / Sensitivity – your immune system is not involved. Typically the food will irritate your digestive system because you are unable to properly digest or break down the food. You may be able to tolerate small amounts of a food without symptoms but experience a reaction if larger amounts are consumed. Symptoms may not occur immediately but days later, typically 12 – 72 hrs later. Also with a food intolerance your body may be deficient in a substance necessary to break down a certain food. For example: The lactase enzyme which assists your body in the breakdown of lactose which is found in diary products.

Once your test is complete, you will be advised to reduce or avoid the foods / beverages you showed a sensitivity to at time of testing for approximately 6 weeks. Initially you may crave the very foods you are reacting to. This is especially the case with sugar, caffeine and refined carbohydrates.

You may feel tired, cranky and experience mild headaches, mild skin rashes and nausea. Also your sleep may be disturbed for a night or two. This is a typical reaction as the body starts to cleanse itself and readjust to the dietary changes. The good news is that these feelings are short lived. You will start to feel much better after 24 to 48 hours. At this time I suggest you increase your water intake to assist the body with the cleansing process and helps avoid constipation. When you start to feel more energetic I suggest increasing your exercise regime. After the 6 weeks, if you so wish you can slowly reintroduce the previously restricted foods one by one. If however you feel a reaction to any of these foods you are advised to contact the clinic.

A follow up appointment is recommended after the 6 week period, where we can chart your progress and make any necessary changes to your personalised care plan going forward and as always if you have any questions please give us a call.
