Food Allergy Testing
I am a trained homeopath with a Vega allergy testing machine.

Some of the common things I will test are; foods, alcohol, additives, environmental allergens, hormones, vitamins and minerals, good bacteria in the gut, plus many more. I will then give some brief homeopathic advice on treatment and management.
Any testing is carried out on a bio feedback machine, with a small metal probe on the palm of the hand which is simple and safe to use and results are instant. The only contraindications are pregnancy and patients with pace-makers.
