Allergies, enviromental and food sensitivities are becoming more and more common, part of everyday living in an increasingly polluted world. Crop sprays and farm pesticides have found their way into both the food chain and our water supply and few of us can escape the effects of petrol and diesel fumes. True allergiies however affect relatively few people, while sensitivities affect a great proportion of the population.

Food senitivities often mean that foods which the body cannot properly assimilate, are passed into the bloodstream, where the immune system treats them as invading organisms. This in turn puts stress on our immune systems and can lead to, or be a contributing factor in a wide range of medical conditions, from asthma to arthritis, to eczema, M.E. and irritable bowel syndrome. Identification of these foods means that they can either be eliminated from the diet, or reduced to a level that the body can comfortably cope with.

The system of allergy testing which we use at The Complementary Medicine Centre, is non invasive, does not require breaking the skin, nor taking blood, hair or urine samples. We use the Vega Testing equipment, an advanced testing system produced in Germany, where it is routinely used by many doctors. Part of the Vega Testing process includes the use of natural medicines, to restore to balance and harmony, systems which have been over sensitised or damaged by food and enviromental agents.
