D.N.N. The aim of nutritional therapy is to achieve and maintain good health by restoring and encouraging the body's own ability to heal itself. This is done mainly by altering the patient's diet according to individual needs. A variety of other Naturopathic techniques are also used, as well as nutritional supplements where appropriate. Re-hydration often plays an important role. Nutritional therapy has been shown to be useful in the treatment of a wide variety of physical disorders including high blood pressure, weight gain, irritable bowel syndrome, ME, eczema, asthma.
Patients often experience a significant improvement in their emotional well-being during treatment.
Nutritional therapy is different from many other Complementary therapies in that it requires the patient's active involvement in their own healing process. Taking control is the first step on the road to lasting good health. Before the first consultation the patient is asked to fill in a detailed questionnaire to provide essential background information. The first consultation is normally 1.5 hours long with further sessions half to one hour Informal consultations between sessions help to maintain a constructive partnership between therapist and patient. From February 1999 the Darkfield Microscope Blood Analysis will be performed at first consultations.
