| Nutritional Therapy is
not just about healthy eating! It is a form of complementary
medicine, which uses a combination of diet, naturopathic
techniques and appropriate supplements to help the
body to repair and maintain itself. Treatment is
'holistic'. This means that all levels of a person
are taken into consideration - physical, mental
and emotional. The Practitioner and client work
together towards restoring and maintaining wholeness
and vitality. |

|
| No. A Dietician is a State-Registered
nutritionist who advises on meeting Government recommendations
for vitamins, minerals and calories etc, or who
carries out a doctor's instructions, for instance,
advising on foods high in iron for anaemia sufferers. |
|
|
|
| The initial appointment
provides an opportunity to 'tell your story'. A
full case history is taken, and from there a programme
of treatment can be commenced which is not only
compatible with the individual's requirements and
lifestyle, but will assist in bringing about the
desired improvements in health and well being. Practitioner
support is available for as long as is required. |
|
|
|
| Health professionals,
particularly General Practitioners, normally only
have a few minutes available for each patient. Therefore,
that time is usually spent treating the presenting
symptoms. It is not feasible under such circumstances
to explore the underlying causes of a patient's
'dis-ease'. |
|
|
|
| Nutritional Therapy works
by treating the whole person, rather than just the
presenting symptoms. As a result of this process,
individuals may see an improvement in and sometimes
complete alleviation from such disorders as PMS,
irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, eczema, acne,
depression and fatigue. |
|
|
|
| Vitamins and minerals
are critically important to health and well being
on all levels. However, their value to the individual
greatly depends on that person's ability to absorb
these nutrients, as well as choosing appropriate
supplements in beneficial dosages. Many so-called
'deficiencies' occur as a result of poor absorption
and assimilation rather than because of low intake.
Nutritional Therapy can help to address this. |
