I want some help but what do I need??

When clients come in, John asks what clients are coming in for and what their main issues are and anything else, as part of taking a case history. He may asks alot of questions so as to get a good all-round picture of what is happening. Whilst John is doing this he is assessing what will be the best combination of assessment tools that he will need to use to assist in getting a clear picture to what is going on in helping to alleviate the prevailing issues.

John attempts to find the underlying cause rather than treat or suppress the symptoms. This is how he was trained.

 

Assessment Tools / Skills to Assist

Iridology : Sclerology : Live Blood Assessment : Active/Live Immune Screening : Tongue/Nail/ Skin Screening : Facial Marking Assessment : Allergy Testing : Kinesiology Muscle/Feedback Testing : Attaining Case History

 

Out sourced tests associated to us:

Hormonal Saliva Testing : Hair Toxic Metal Testing : Cholesterol Testing : Normal Blood Pathology Tests : DNA Health Saliva Swab Assessment

Depending on tests, assessments and outcomes will depend on the type of strategy regimes that will be implemented, as seen under Naturopathic Treatments section. The whole concept is to have a natural therapy approach to support the body`s recovery ability.

John deals with a wide variety of health issues concerning the whole body, metabolic disorders and imbalances through treatment of the whole person. Some of the treatments can be dietary changes, herbal medicines, homoeopathy, mineral therapy, nutritional supplements, changes of lifestyle approach, bodywork (muscular issues, massage, etc), kinesiology balancing, counselling, coaching, etc.

Below is a brief outline of what each assessments is about

Iridology

Iridology is the science study of the iris (coloured section of the eye) and how it relates to the body (externally and internally) and how it reflects a person’s state of health and well being.  spine, digestion etc). This helps to assess the health of the patient.The iris represents the map reflex system of the parts of the body (glands, organs,

 Discolourations, iris structure type (also linked to genetics), markings – light &/or dark, line/furrow markings, discolourations, pockets or holes, etc.

Sclerology

Sclerology is the study of the markings or blood vessel line formation within the white of the eyes that surrounds the iris. It is used as a compliment to Iridology to fully assess the patient’s health.

It reflects a person`s state of health and wellbeing through the reflex system segments, as in the iris where different parts of the body and its functions can be seen, whether healthy or compromised healthy.

What is seen are different blood vessel line formations (light, dark, straight, curly, maze type, etc), discolourations (dark bright, orange, blue, brown, etc), markings and spots.

Live Blood Assessment / Active Live Immune Screening

From a drop of blood under a special microscope, alot can be seen about.

Some of these are related to the status of the red blood cells, immune white blood cells, allergy immune white blood cells, water hydration, stress, blood pH, blood fat status, protein and dietary status, candida status, microbe status, inflammation status, patterns related to parasitc and blood worm activity, health status, etc.

Depending on the individual and the screening outcome will depend on what type of regimes may be implemented – change of diet, mineral therapy, herbal medicine, homeopathic medicine, etc.

This assists the individual with finding some answers to how they are feeling. Conditions like chronic fatigue, fibromylagia, ross river, constant fatigue/tiredness, digestive upsets, constantly feeling sick, reoccuring sickness, etc.

Allergy Testing

Allergies are becoming quite a common thing these days. Most people living in our modern society will have 1-2 allergy sensitivities. Most people will have intolerances to things as opposed to allergies. Allergies can occur quite immediately (5seconds to 5 minutes) meaning this can be life threatening, whilst an intolerance will gradually come on over 30 minutes to 12 hours where we can develop a reaction of some sort.

Common instant allergies can be related to peanuts, soy, some chemicals and often the throat/lips etc swell up to bring breathing restrictions, heart issues, over racing adrenalin. Often people with this often carry around a Epi Pen which needs to used immediately to save the person`s life.

Intolerances generally occur due to the fact that we overconsume certain foods and the body`s immune can`t deal with this or there maybe a breakdown with the processing within the digestve system or the liver. Common items can cow`s milk and dairy, wheat, gluten, soy, sugar, chemical exposure, certain native plants/pollens, industrial work chemicals, etc. Reactions can be anything from skin issues, ezcema, rashes, sinus congestion, depression, aggressiveness, fatigue, pain, gut irratibility, etc.

There are different applications to doing allergy/intolerance testing. Some are via computer programs, holding probes, kinesiology testing, etc. The use of kinesiology testing and different sample vials are used at this centre.

DNA Genetic Health Assessment

There are different options that can be looked  at. This is associated to family health genetics. Strengths and weaknesses can come from either side of the family (ie – either father or mother side, depends which way dominance goes).

Option 1

This option links to having a saliva swab test done, choosing a laboratory to assess your swab. There are different laboratories around Australia that do this type of assessment via a health practitioner (Smart DNA, Fitgenes, DNA Australia, etc).

This test must be paid for in advance when the swab test is done.

Once the results of the laboratory test has been completed, then results are sent back to the practitioner (that is myself). John will contact you to arrange an appointment so the results can be interpreted. Then a look at where the strengths and weaknesses are and suggest the best strategies to take.

Option 2

John has his Genetic Assessment that he goes through. He will use kinesiology muscle testing to go through his assessment and see which genes are fully functional or compromised. The he will look at what important areas need addressing. He can test to see which way the dominance is going (either father or mother`s side).

Option 3

This is where  combined tests of Option 1 & 2 are looked at and see how they compare. From here John will look and discuss with you the best appropriate strategies to take.

Treatment Strategies

John will discuss with you what the best treatment strategies to take and what best suits and fits with you. This may change of diet, change of lifestyle, change of thinking strategies, certain remedies or medicines, etc. There is also the option of improving some of the weak links to enhance the quality of your life, health and well being. This can be done via the DNA Reprogramming System Protocol. For more information on this, this will be under Other Treatments section. 

 

Kinesiology Muscle/Feedback Testing

Kinesiology muscle testing can be used in different ways. It is one way to find out from your body what it wants or doesn`t want; what stress imbalances are going on; what is reactive to you or not, etc. This is individual testing that pertains to you.

– can be used for Allergy & Intolerance testing

– what product / supplement is appropriate for you

– what foods / products ( eg- cosmetics) that are going to agree or complement your body

– find out what can be behind certain particular problems or imbalances within the body

– checking your chinese meridian energy systems status is and what solutions to balance these system are required

External Outsourced Tests For Naturopathic Assessments

he reason for outsourcing to have tests done is that laboratories have expensive testing analysing equipment that is not possible for a naturopath to have. Often testing sample kits are available at the naturopathic centre to give out to the client.

The client provides the sample and then directly sends this off to the laboratory and pays them directly. They need to have a referring naturopath so that test results can be sent back to the naturopath.

Once the naturopath receives the test results they contact the client and arrange an appointment and results are discussed and then the best protocol is looked at. This part is chargeable and payable to the naturopath.

Hormone Saliva Testing

This is about testing your sex hormones.

For women, it is important to take note when the sample is given in relation to where they are at with their hormonal cycle. Women often have this test done to check why hormonal imbalances are occuring, heavy menstruation, irregular length of their cycles, why they may be not falling pregnant easily, premenopause, post menopause, etc.

Hair Toxic Metal Testing

This is testing for toxic metal exposure. At times it shows whether you`re basic metal levels are up to scratch.

This is cutting a tuff of hair at the back of your head and sending this for analysiation.

When you are extremely fatigued or being quite toxic and unhealthy, this is a application that can be useful.

Cholesterol Testing

This test is a blood test that can be organised via your doctor or John. This goes to a pathology laboratory to be analysed and calculated. Cholesterol is manufactured in the liver and regulated via the liver, thyroid, and bowel. Diet an have quite an influence with these readings. Problems in this area can affect how the blood is flowing your arteries and heart. This can link to hereditary and lifestyle factors. It does alter about the time of menopause (female and male).

Normal Blood Pathology Tests

At times different tests are required to get an idea of what is happening internally and the best way is with a blood test.

Whether it is checking your hormones, cholesterol, immune system, liver, etc, this can be effective to gauge what is happening internally.

These tests can be done via your doctor or John.

DNA / Genetic Health Gene Testing 

There are a number of laboratories that do this around Australia. It is a matter of choosing one. Initially it is about taking a saliva swab from inside your mouth, put into the sealed container and sent away to the laboratory. The swab test is done with John, he sends this away and waits for the report to be sent to him and then John contacts you for the assessment.
