Neurological Conditions

“Daniela and Lynda rescued me from a feeling of hopelessness created by the most appallingly badly handled delivery of a diagnosis by a consultant informing me that I had an incurable, degenerative disease, namely Parkinson’s, for which I would be given a prescription and should go away and look at the UK Parkinson’s website! Together they listened to my story of symptoms including ongoing gut problems, a shaking hand and twitching face. They discussed my lifestyle, nutrition and stresses over the years including IVF treatments, multiple surgeries, environment, a challenging job and family illnesses before coming up with a plan to try and find out what might be causing my symptoms. They ran batteries of tests over a year or so discovering amongst other things that I had SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) and a high level of arsenic in my blood stream. Within 10 days the treatment for SIBO had cured a protruding gut and the tremor in my left hand had stopped. Over the following months I was given various supplements, and on their advice made changes to diet and lifestyle. All this allowed me to continue without pharmaceutical drugs for almost 2.5 years using my chosen route of integrated alternative treatments. Whilst I do have Parkinson’s (and a new neurologist) and now take a low level of pharmaceuticals, Daniela and Lynda continue to update supplements so that I feel now as well as I have done for years. I play a great deal of sport, eat well and lead a full life. They are a tower of strength with masses of knowledge between them and nothing is too much trouble be it liaising with Jan over appointments or getting blood tests done at home. I simply cannot recommend Functional Medicine Wimbledon highly enough”
