Acupuncture and Allergy & Environmental Medicine
I have practiced acupuncture in Gloucester for approaching 25 years now and am still surprised by the efficacy of acupuncture. Growing acceptance of acupuncture is evidenced by recent recommendations from the National Institute of Clinical Excellence for low back pain and headaches and migraines. I studied allergy & environmental medicine because of a growing realization of how immunological reactions to everyday foods was compromising my patient's health and hindering the response I expected to get with acupuncture. I use a combination of kinesiology and traditional elimination diets to help my clients get the results they want. I am an advocate of the paleo, or primal, diet as a basic healthy diet which doesn't provoke the immune system.
