CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME (M.E.)
CANCER
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS) are a group of disabling and distressing conditions which are difficult to treat with conventional Western Medicine. These conditions are becoming more prevalent in the current COVID pandemic with "Long COVID syndrome"(https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m3981).
We have successfully treated patients with these groups of symptoms and have featured on the ME Association Magazine, ME Essential
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments for cancer has associated side effects including myositis (sores/ulcers in the mouth, dry and sore throat and mouth), gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhoea), low blood count (anaemia and increased bleeding risk), peripheral neuropathy (pain, burning, tingling or numbness typically affecting the hands and feet), gonadal failure (infertility), hair loss, fatigue, insomnia, weight loss, psychological distress and depression. These symptoms can be debilitating and impact negatively on quality of life. We have successfully supported patients with cancer undergoing chemo and/or radiotherapy by helping to alleviate and improve their symptoms promptly and improving quality of life.
CHRONIC PAIN SYNDROMES
Chronic Pain Syndrome (CPS) can affect 1 in 4 individuals with chronic pain and can incorporate elements of depression and anxiety. These are often precipitated by an injury or painful condition such as muscle sprain or strain, joint or bone condition or arthritis, back pain or sciatica, repetitive strain injury (sports or occupation related), fibromyalgia, nerve damage, cancer or its treatments, dyspepsia or stomach ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, IBS, endometriosis, headache or surgery. Chronic pain and CPS can be difficult to treat and a reliance and addiction to analgesia and its side effects can be debilitating. We have successfully treated CPS and chronic pain to help alleviate symptoms and improve function and quality of life.
MENTAL HEALTH
The Coronavirus Pandemic is having an unprecedented effect on the mental health of the nation. The social restrictions and limited access to professional support contribute to a more challenging way to manage mental health conditions. We have successfully treated and/or supported conventional Western treatment for a wide spectrum of mental health conditions including stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, sleep problems, chronic pain syndrome, eating disorders, paranoia, hallucinations, seasonal affective disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder.
INFERTILITY
Female infertility (difficulty conceiving) can be primary (where you have never conceived before) or secondary (where you have had one or more previous pregnancies in the past). Treatment options depend on the cause of the infertility and can, in females, involve medical treatment for regulation of the menstrual cycle, surgical treatment for reproductive tract conditions and assisted conception (intra-uterine insemination, IUI or IVF). We have successfully treated menstrual disorders and supported IVF treatments and have successfully treated primary and secondary female infertility to successful conception and birth (over 30 patients). We have also successfully treated male infertility by helping to treat impotence, improve sperm count and sperm quality.
DERMATOLOGY
Common skin conditions affect quality of life and self esteem. These can be difficult to manage with conventional Western Medicine or associated with significant side effects. Many patients opt for herbal medicine treatment and/or acupuncture to avoid the side effects of Western Medicine. Common conditions we have treated or supported Western treatment include acne, eczema, psoriasis and less common conditions including rosacea, vitiligo, alopecia areata, premature or secondary hair loss, chickenpox,
shingles, measles, urticaria, contact dermatitis, fungal infections, excess sweating. We have helped to improve symptom control, skin condition and quality of life.

The immune system includes the bone marrow, spleen, lymphatic system, lymph nodes and blood cells. The immune system can be weakened through a number of mechanisms which affect any or all of its collective components. Individuals are then at an increased risk of acquiring infections because they are less able to combat the infections but also at risk of having a severe infection. We have successfully supported the immune system in a number of ways to help reduce the risk or acquiring infections in conditions which weakens the immune system and improve quality of life.
