Your
First Visit – What To Expect.
Prior to
your first visit you will be sent a detailed questionnaire to fill out.
You will
also be asked to provide a short medical history, as best you can remember, from childhood onwards.
A brief outline
of any significant or persistent illnesses in your immediate
family, if possible, is also extremely helpful.
You will
also be asked to keep a five day food diary to ascertain what you
normally eat and drink.
You will
be asked to bring with you any medical tests you may have had
done recently e.g. cholesterol levels.
The final
requirement is to bring with you, or make a list of, all the
prescription or over the counter medicines you are taking. Any vitamins,
minerals, herbs or homoeopathic preparations should also be included.
During the
actual visit a detailed case history will be taken in order to
ascertain the specific influences affecting your health and well-being.
Certain tests
may be recommended but only if deemed absolutely
necessary. These are simple, non-invasive and only require a pin-prick
of
blood from a finger tip or a sample of saliva.
All of this
information is then used to construct a personalised treatment
plan. This will be tailored to your individual needs and will take into
consideration any personal or financial restrictions. John will also check
for
interactions between any remedies recommended and the client’s
conventional medications.
All of this
information is treated in the strictest confidence. |
