Case Study

In January 2005 and young 22 year old man presented to the clinic with painful lumps and spots on face and neck. He stated that he regularly had skin eruptions, boils and acne, very sensitive skin and occasionally gets hayfever. He had been using Antibiotics continiously for 18 months under his Doctors advice to help clear the skin - but to no avail.

This young man stated that the lumps erupting on the skin were incredibly painful, itching intensely as they came up to a pinpoint. He had been suffering with this unsightly condition since age 16.

Utilising the EAV testing equipment, it was quickly identified that he had Food Intolerances and was advised to avoid the following foods:

Margarine and Cottage Cheese, Tuna Fish, Wheat, Spelt, Quinoa, Corn, Buckwheat, Millet, Harricot Beans, Kidney Beans, and Parsnips.

Further testing identified a number of Vitamin and Mineral deficiencies which were then provided as supplements. Meridian balance screening identified acute stresses were apparent in a number of body systems.

When this man revisited that clinic 6 weeks later he was a changed person. He had immediately removed the identified foods from his diet and within one week noticed the positive changes in his skin condition. In consultation he reported that he had no painful lumps or bumps since stopping wheat. He has ceased taking the antibiotics. His skin looks and feels much better. He is able to wake each morning, shower and look in the mirror without any worries about what else he can do. His general mood has improved. He is eating more fresh foods and his general diet has improved. He no longer has the oily T zone. Aside from his skin he notices that his energy and stamina have improved, at the gym a previous 5 minute session is now an easy 20 minute session, he is gaining body definition and even enjoyed the attractions of others in a nightclub over the weekend.

Follow up EAV testing identified his Vitamins and Minerals were more balanced, his Meridian systems were no longer acutely stressed. He is continuing with ease on the avoidance of the identified Intolerant Foods and will maintain his ongoing health with regularly seasonal checkups.
