The Health Detectives

We often get asked this question during sessions and there never seems to be time to go into an explanation. We use the test kits for diagnostic purposes to find out where your biochemistry is not in balance and then cross-linking imbalances and finally finding what it takes to rebalance.

Most of the vials contain samples of bioenergetic impressions. These are prepared radionically (using a homeopathic simulator). This means they don’t contain any biologically active ingredients but copy the energy pattern from one substance into a blank medium.

Other vials contain the actual substance that we test. This is usually a remedy, e.g. a nutritional supplement, a herb or an oil.

It is sad to hear so many accounts in our clinics of how episodes of depression have blighted great chunks of our patients’ lives.

There are often tears because it’s a shock and relief all rolled into one, to finally shed some light on past experiences while getting a better understanding of how our bodies got in that state. Sad because what all too often turn out to be simple blockages of chemical pathways, have resulted in symptoms that have had a major impact on whole families - depression, suicidal tendencies, infertility, ovarian cancer - just because a few little breakdown reactions could not happen, leaving an imbalance of hormones.

We have been very moved to witness the realisation for some that if they had not been treated heavily with medications such as Lithium, giving horrendous tremours, and drastic treatments, even electric shock treatments, instead of some simple hormone rebalancing, their memories of their past would have been a lot less tangled.

When anxiety or depression shows up during our testing, we look hard to see exactly where the chemistry is blocked in connection with those problems. The body is intricately designed to be well. The many enzymes involved in making and breaking down different substances in our bodies, so that we have what we need to do all the various jobs in our body, are very specific in their needs. They like to have the right acid/alkali environment, the right vitamins and minerals - or they go on strike!  And people get a whole range of symptoms, from weight gain to blood sugar problems, spots and migraines, painful periods, terrible tempers, hot flushes as well as anxiety and depression. Take your pick.

It is amazing to think that so many conditions may have a common cause or two; the lack of the right environmental factors for our friends the enzymes to do their job description. So it’s not surprising that people we put on vitamin B12 for example, or zinc or buffered vitamin C, find it hard to believe that it can be all they need. No wonder they struggle with the idea after years of swallowing 10 to 20 different tablets A DAY in some cases to be told that not only will two or so remedies cover all those issues but could after a short time actually correct the problem and no longer be needed!

It’s not just the patients that have to learn to accept new ideas and possibilities about healing. The doctors it seem need quite a stretch to stop shouting “Placebo!” and “No written evidence… clinical trials… we don’t accept anecdotal evidence..”

Well, you and we all are the anecdotal bit rejected by much of the mainstream medical establishment -although perhaps we could ask our doctors, who call alternative medicine success stories “placebo”, while documenting in numerous clinical studies the evidence of “the placebo effect”, one simple question: How come people notice improvements often after short periods on “our placebo side effect free remedies” while they often don’t get better and often get worse after the pharmaceutical doctors hand out placebos?

But if a treatment approach by doctors with medicines has not solved the problem (such as depression and inability to cope)  without bad side effects such as memory loss, severe tremours, anxiety - to quote our clinic patients just this week -  could they not actively seek to treat other aspects of the biochemical balance, such as hormones, instead.

Please do contact us or look on our events page for details of our “STRICTLY HORMONES”  talk and demo – and invite anyone you feel is affected by any of the issues in this post or the list of typical complaints on our website.  There may only be a few nutrients or minerals in the way to feeling much better in yourself.

…Or anything in between…. our hormone or endocrine system plays a key role in a surprising range of our body functions. It includes many hormone producing glands, such as the thyroid, pituitary, pancreas, ovaries and many more. Many patients come to the clinic with symptoms of hormone imbalance - from tiredness to problems getting pregnant, bad periods, sleep disorders, blood sugar issues, hot flushes and outbursts of emotion.

Many people are experiencing ‘hormone hell’!  But take heart! This system has the potential to bring people back into feeling on top of things - and not just to  drag them down into a real battle.

Some diseases, such as the oestrogen dependent cancers, have their roots in the imbalance of just a couple of hormones and these same hormones can mean someone cannot get pregnant, or if they do, cannot stay pregnant. Or if they get as far as giving birth, other glands’ underperformance can mean they can’t feed their baby naturally or they may experience post-natal depression.

So why not take charge of this amazing system within your body and plan for those predictable rites of passage, such as getting pregnant or going gracefully through the menopause with a re-balanced efficient hormone system.

Keeping your body clear of harmful excess oestrogens can protect you from more serious hormone dependent illnesses later on. And how can we finish a post on hormones without acknowledging the numbers of you who come with thyroid worries and are often upset to have been told that once on thyroxine always on thyroxine. Cheer up! Once the hormone system (which includes the thyroid gland) is brought back into proper working order, the thyroid can do its job again, and we would not expect anyone to need to remain on thyroxine unless they have had their thyroid removed! Clearly the sooner you check your endocrine system the better.

You can get your hormone system checked by The Health Detectives at any of our clinics in Pembrokeshire  so make your hormones part of your health MOT and ring us to book a testing session. You can also have your hormones checked by sending us a hair sample – so let your hormone-hounded pals know help is at hand!  Have a good month!

Just a thought ….?! My other therapy – NLP –  looks at our behaviours and how we tend to think… which  really ties in with getting well.  And as it has come up in clinic a few times recently, I would like to share this with you. When we have been ill for years or even just been told a lot of times that we have XY or Z wrong with us and that “there is nothing that can be done” , we do risk believing  we will always have it .

However, Lise and I put a lot of work into getting people’s biochemistry back to how it ought to be. If someone has gout and we rebalance them so that they do not have the ‘conditions’ which originally allowed gout to take place… or the hormone imbalances that originally allowed a cancer or fibroid to develop, that condition can go away. 

If we keep telling ourselves in our head that we will always have colitis or whatever, then with my NLP hat on, I would call that A LIMITING BELIEF. If we understand that without the chemistry of disease we won’t have the disease, please please please start editing those limiting beliefs to know that when you no longer have the conditions that caused a disease, and your symptoms have gone… a doctor wouldn’t diagnose a disease. You can change the thought patterns that have gone with your past illnesses so that you now believe you can no longer have the problem! In other words… when you get well.. BELIEVE IT!  Just a thought! Gitti
