Male Wholistic Health Journey

A typical example is a 40 year old man who presents with symptoms of feeling tired and having recurrent upper respiratory tract infections.

In this case the Wholistic Journey begins with a full medical assessment including arranging basic blood tests particularly for Iron & Thyroid status both of which show low levels.

The medical history reveals having had several bouts of upper respiratory tract infections over the last 3 months requiring antibiotic treatment for each one. It also revealed a history of blood donation every 3 months for the last 3 years as well as having a mouthful of mercury amalgam fillings, both of which are a significant contributory factor to the low iron & thyroid levels.
 
Initial tests with Bio- Meridian testing, revealed poor circulation, poor gut integrity with over proliferation of fungus and a compromised prostate function. It also confirmed the presence of toxic metals to be mercury.

The initial treatment included a suggestion to stop donating blood as well as the prescribing of a simple drainage remedy to enhance the elimination of toxic waste, a supplement to improve gut function & integrity, an antifungal remedy and a specifically chosen iron supplement. Some basic advice regarding intolerant foods to eliminate was also given.

With an improvement in energy levels, prostate function and a boosted immune system, the next stage in the “Wholistic” journey would be to reassess his organ & systems, this time focusing more on the areas that remain compromised.

In this case it was to look at providing thyroid support as well as to measure which mercury fillings need to be replaced as a priority and begin this process in a systematic & supervised way with the help of a holistic minded & mercury free dentist.

The next step in this “Wholistic” journey would be to test for any imbalances of specific nutrients using Functional Biochemistry where the brain chemistry is assessed as well as the liver detoxification, energy & hormone pathways in more detail.

Finally, given the history of blood donation, an assessment is made using Traditional Chinese Medicine which commonly associates such frequent blood depletion with “kidney meridian” weakness, which contributes to symptoms of tiredness & can also be readily corrected.
