Nutritional & Environmental Medicine
The fundamental principle of nutritional and environmental medicine is to provide the body with the building blocks it needs to carry out growth, repair and detoxification of metabolic wastes. Secondly to minimize or eliminates anything hindering this process. In practice this often means making changes to diet, exercise, lifestyle, the use of supplements etc. This all occurs in line with well established protocols, including a low-reactive diet regime, supplemental nutrient support, heavy metal elimination etc.
njectable Nutrient Therapy
For those suffering from diseases of the gut, and general cellular dysfunction, absorbing nutrients into the blood-stream can be extremely difficult. This is where nutrients given directly via the injectable route can be extremely helpful. For those with severe viral infections and post-viral fatigue, intravenous vitamin C in particular can be dramatically effective.
Metabolic Typing ®
A fundamental principle of many ancient medicine systems was that each person’s constitution is unique. In practice, this means that dietary and lifestyle recommendations need to be tailored to the individual. Dr Roger Williams came out with a landmark work called “Biochemical Individuality” in the 1920s explaining this in detail. Since this work, extensive work has been carried out, predominantly in the United States, on determining an individual’s predominant homeostatic systems and balancing these through diet and lifestyle.
