How It Works

Allergies, Sensitivity and Hypersensitivity are all states in which the body responds at various levels to a substance (allergen) that is deems dangerous to the host. Allergies and sensitivities can be biochemical, emotional or physiological. This is perceived as an abnormal immune response or immune mismatch response, which sends the body into a state of over reactivity. This may produce a number of reactions e.g. hives, itching, sneezing, hayfever, asthma, irritable bowel, skin rashes, rosacea to name a few.

At the clinic we aim to change the way your body perceives the allergen, therefore reducing the likelihood of over reactivity to the substance. We help you to free yourself from the allergen and retrain the body so it is more able to respond in an effective non threatening manner. Once this is successfully completed with the allergen, then the previously allergic substance may be re-introduced.

Using Kinesiological muscle testing procedures, the practitioner will test the patient to find which allergens are proving to be a problem. The patient is then required to hold the substance for a given length of time whilst Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques are employed to mildly stimulate the spinal reflexes. This conditions the body to a positive response to the allergen. Acustim pressure is then applied to various points over the body which stimulates a gentle detoxification process.

We use non-invasive techniques, i.e. no needles,  which are suitable for people of all ages including babies and the elderly.  Assessment of diet and general health is taken into account, and intervention is employed where necessary.  We aim to drastically reduce the bodies response to allergens if not clear them, altogether.  This means that you may not have to avoid certain foods for a “lifetime” as we alter the manner in which your body responds.

Treatments required; This depends entirely on how many allergens you have, and if they are all in the one family or in many families. (ie; wheat, milk, air borne) Only one allergen family can be treated at a time.  Approximately 80% to 90% of cases require only one treatment per family of allergen whilst others may require 2 or more treatments for the one allergen. Allergens such as wheat and dairy have many components and as such may need to be split into two groups for the treatment to be successful.

To enable success with your treatment we clear preliminary (base) allergens first, otherwise foods that contain the (base) substance will remain allergic. An example is calcium which is found is most green vegetables, fruits and dairy products, or sugar which is found in all fruit, lactose, dairy and grain/processed foods.
