James Age 11, was brought to Natural Practices suffering with skin problems, loose bowel movements and headaches. A Toxic Triangle Test was performed using ‘The Health Detective’ System which showed very high toxicity in someone so young.

If the body is extremely toxic even nutritional supplements will be treated as toxic by the body. James was given gentle homeopathic drainage remedies for one month to help bring the toxicity down. At a re-screening one month later he was found to have poor absorption of food and ‘leaky gut’. His Liver was not neutralising or excreting toxins correctly.

James was tested for deficiencies in vitamins and minerals and was found to be low in digestive enzymes (helps break foods down) Acidophilus and most of his other vitamins and minerals. It was because he was low in digestive enzymes that everything else was so depleted. James was given Acidophilus, digestive enzymes and a liquid multi-vitamin supplement to take for 3 months. He was also given a supplement to help with the ‘leaky gut’ and was put on a diet which eliminated the foods ‘The Health Detective’ had helped to identify as problematic for him. As the toxicity had been lowered significantly, his body utilised all the supplements and 3 months later all of his symptoms had disappeared.

Symptoms like James’ are usually a sign of toxicity. Children’s bodies are very quick to exhibit signs of toxicity and these can be seen with symptoms such as:

Skin disorders – rashes, spots, eczema
Ear infections – earache, glue-ear
Diarrhoea / constipation
Sinus infections
Frequent colds and streaming eyes
Lethargy – normally pale face and dark circles under the eyes
Slight temperature

Using natural remedies to help bring the body back to a vibrant state of health is preferable to taking long-term medication. Please check any conditions with your doctor first.
