A New Approach To Health With Startling Results

Have you ever wondered, when your child is ill, actually WHY he is ill? There is always a root cause to many illnesses. The conventional way to remedy is to go to the Doctor and get a prescription for a medicine that will treat the symptom (not the cause) of the problem. For example, a person who suffers from psoriasis (a skin disorder) may go to their Doctor and be prescribed a cream to apply, which will keep the problem under control, may make it go away, but they find it returns later. The root cause of the problem hasn't been identified and dealt with, only the symptom has been treated, thus, there is no cure.

About 5 months ago my 11 year old daughter started having severe migraines. We didn't identify the attacks as migraines because we had never had this problem before. She was repeatedly being sent home from school, vomiting and having blurred vision. The school started wondering if it was a maths phobia! On one occasion it affected her exam result because she had blurred vision during a reading test. We chose to go to a Kinesiologist (http://www.kinesiology.co.uk/info.htm) and have her tested. The kinesiologist identified that her body was undergoing many changes (puberty) and that it had become intolerant to wheat and dairy products in her diet. Much that it was very difficult to eliminate wheat and dairy in her diet, we did so, and she has not had one migraine attack since! In addition, her whole wellbeing has improved, and she is happier. A true testimony to how diet can affect us, and to how we can look after ourselves by identifying the cause to illness rather than just treating the symptom.
