Dual Training in Complementary and Conventional Medicine

I have 17 years experience in General Practice.
I am experienced in all illnesses that are encountered in General Practice, and in recognising the warning signs of serious illness.
I can organise and interpret clinical investigations: blood tests, x-rays, and ECGs where needed.
I have a network of private and NHS specialists, both medical and non-medical with whom I can liase if necessary, and of course I will communicate with your GP.
With any controversial health issues, I present both sides of the story, so that you can make an informed decision.

Conventional medicine is excellent for treating acute emergencies. However, many chronic conditions are less amenable to conventional treatment: limited improvement on long term medication is often the rule rather than substantial benefit. Side-effects from, and resistance to drugs are not uncommon.

I integrate my knowledge with the following therapies:


Homeopathy

I practice classical homeopathy, and can offer treatments solely using this, together with nutritional advice.

Homeopathic medicine is gentle, and works in stimulating the self-healing powers of the body. It is extremely safe, with no side-effects. Minor aggravations lasting a short while can happen, but are usually not noticed by the patient. It is suitable for all ages: from birth to old age, and in pregnancy.

I have been treating patients with Homeopathy for a number of years. They are very dilute medicines, usually prepared from natural substances. They work on an information level, thought likely to be based on the memory properties of water. They work on the premise of "like curing like", rather than using opposites, as with conventional medicine. In this way, it is thought possible to effect long term improvement in health, rather than suppress symptoms.


Field Control Therapy: A New Form of Homeopathy

It is gentle energetic testing of the body using a bio-resonance technique: non-force applied kinesiology. Treatment can be specifically tailored as a result, based on homeopathic principles, in that no material doses of substances are used.
There is a huge amount of research which has established that the human body operates as an electronic biological system. Electro-magnetic frequencies emanate from molecules of our cells, and link into our physiology and body chemistry.
Every object has an energy field, and the human body is no different. It has been alomst 100 years since the theory of Wave-Particle Duality established that particles of matter continuously blink in and out of existance, part of the time functioning with wave-like properties.
Bio-resonance testing can tune into the electronic body circuits. The testing procedure developed for FCT uses non-force kinesiology. There are other bio-resonance techniques, which do not give a body-priority for treatment (e.g. using machines), or which involve muscle fatigue (e.g. various forms of kinesiology which test the strength of a muscle)

Homeopathic preparations of healthy organs and tissues are used for a number of purposes: to strengthen certain organs to "squeeze" out toxins; to strengthen organs/tissues which are identified as needing protection; as well as to support excretory organs during detoxing.


Candida

There are many species of this yeast, which inhabit all of us, male as well as female. Its importance is that it acts like a "trojan horse" and binds heavy metals, in particular, mercury. The problem is how to get rid of candida effectively, since anti-fungal drugs can produce multiply-resistant strains. They can also cause mercury release in the body upon candida die-off.
Probiotics can have a similar effect, unless they are given in short bursts, rotating types of probiotics.
High sugar diets, white refined flour, and yeast-containing foods all promote candida growth. Therefore, a strict anti-candida diet, which is low in sugar and yeasts, is an important part of Field Control Therapy.

Reducing Exposure to Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMFs)

There is a body of evidence accummulating that indicates many people are very sensitive to EMFs, and react adversely. In the modern world we are are increasingly exposed to these. They can be measured, and I can loan out equipment to do this, in order that you can be aware of the problem, and take measures to reduce exposure.

In particular whilst taking FCT treatment, it will be important to minimise EMF exposure.


Therapies Offered #02

Ecological Medicine: Environmental, Nutrition and Allergy

I am very aware that the body as an open system can react adversely to a huge range of substances in our environment, whether inhaled particles, substances we eat or touch. Sometimes there is a long time-lag between exposure and symptoms, especially as regards foods. These are often not classed as allergy, though in essence it is a delayed form. The provoking factors are hard to identify, as often there are many factors, so the picture is confused.
In terms of food allergies, I can help in several ways: by doing a course of FCT treatment, allergies become less problematic; or by trying either a Stone Age Diet or an Elimination Diet. In an effort to further increase the effectiveness of Homeopathic remedies, I have studied Ecological Medicine.
I realised the importance of heavy metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium. As regards mercury, there is no safe level of this. We have been exposed to mercury via amalgam fillings in our teeth and our mothers teeth; in the diet in contaminated fish; and from vaccines, now withrawn which used to contain thimerosal.


Herbal and Nutritional supplements

I use these only after using homeopathy, and then only in short courses, to support the body organs and tissues in releasing toxins and optimising function. Diet is all important.


An Awareness of the Spiritual Side to Life

I provide a holistic approach which takes into account mind-body-spirit connections, and long appointments with time to listen. I am interested in, and can support patients cultivating a sense of self-awareness, when ready for this. I can help with guided meditations, where appropriate.

I respect cultural differences in all aspects of spirituality.
