Nutritional Therapy Testimonials

As a Certified Natural Health Professional (CNHP) and iridologist, I have had the privilege of helping my friends and clients conquer some of their most troubling health issues and conditions with advice regarding eating and lifestyle changes, as well as nutritional supplementation.  If you have a story you’d like others to hear, I invite you to post it here on my website so that others with similar conditions may learn and implement the changes which have made a difference for you.

The tools I use for analysis in my health consultations include iridology (the study of the eye’s iris), face and tongue analysis, and applied kinesiology.  Some of my favorite supplements, because of their vast applications, are different kinds of enzymes.  Enzyme therapy is well-accepted in Europe, especially with athletes, and is becoming more popular in the U.S.

    After having my iris testing twice, thyme kept coming up. I wondered since I use thyme from my garden quite often. But after other tests because I had developed respiratory discomfort and clicking in my left ear, which is very annoying. Brenda recommended Fenugreek & Thyme. At the time, I was taking Seasonal Allergy so she said when I finished that in a couple of weeks, start on the Fenugreek & Thyme, and the clicking in my ear stopped. Now I take it every other day to see if it comes back. It has not. I think it is the Fenugreek that did the job.

    Thanks for that reply, Patti. Yes, both fenugreek and thyme help dry up mucus, so that makes sense to me. Glad it helped.

Oops – Shouldn’t have done that!

Day Three (I skipped writing yesterday).  In order to be a purist with this eczema diet, in preparation I stopped taking all supplements before embarking on this journey.   One of the key secrets to keeping skin softer is taking essential fatty acids (EFAs), such as Omega-3 fish oil, flax seed oil, borage oil, evening primrose oil.  I have been alternating these kinds of gelcaps in my regimen of supplements for 15 years, ever since I discovered they changed my hands from feeling leathery to fairly soft.

I realize that EFAs, as well as vitamins A and E, are suggested in the “Beat Eczema” cure.  But, I thought I’d add them later after finishing the apple detox — WRONG!!!  Yesterday I really suffered with deep skin cracks that are so painful I could hardly get to sleep last night.  I finally thought to get up and apply some Golden Salve by Nature’s Sunshine Products (NSP) and wrap the affected fingers and hand with Saran Wrap overnight.  This worked like a charm.  When I took the wrap off this morning, the skin was smooth and soft.  However, during the day the scaly, red, rough skin with deep cracks reappeared.

So, guess what I’m adding back into my routine tonight — you guessed it . . . some EFAs.  What I have on hand is Flax Seed Oil, also by NSP.   I do muscle response testing, so I tested myself and found that I needed a whopping 8 of these babies a day!  Wow!  I’ve never tested for that many.

I’ve not been bored with eating just organic apples because Whole Foods has such a variety, and I must have gotten a couple of each kind.  Also, drinking plenty of water has been very important to accomplish this detox.  But since tomorrow is Day Four and I can add some healthy new foods to my eating plan, I’ll certaily take it!

Sign in tomorrow to see what goodies I’m going to eat.  I don’t even know yet!  Probably will involve some grass (wheat grass).

  1. I appreciate you sharing this blog post. Fantastic.

  2. Hi, Good content throughout the site. This post is probably where I got the most useful information for my information gathering. Thanks for posting, maybe we can see more on this. Are you aware of any other websites on this subject?

    Enjoyed reading this post, good of you for sharing.

  5. Hi, what vitamins help clear up skin? I know vitamin c does but what others? and also how many can you take a day of different vitamins? Because some days I take vitamin c, calcium, my regular vitamin, and another one I cant think of right now. My mom tells me to take vitamin c so I don’t get sick and calcium because I don’t drink enough milk…so what helps skin and is there a limit? Thanks in advance.

  6. bbriscoe says:

    You can take Vit C to bowel tolerance (loose stools = too much). For calcium, take a good bioavailable form (citrus source is good). Calcium carbonate (from gravel) and di-calcium phosphate not so good. For skin, Vit A and E are great. Flaxseed oil and the herb horsetail are great for skin. Also, plenty of antioxidants.

    Yes, the best one I’ve found is the one I mentioned in some of my blogs on this subject: http://www.beateczema.com

What can I expect from a health consultation?

What can I expect from a health consultation?
The initial consultation begins with discussion of the client’s personal and familial medical history. Next, each iris of the client’s eyes is examined and questions asked about what is seen in the eyes. (The nerve endings in the iris indicate the health of the tissues, organs, glands and systems in the body.) Then, muscle response testing is done to confirm what is seen and to determine which nutrients are needed to fill in the gaps where the client may be nutritionally deficient. A very personalized health program is designed for each client, according to their individual blood type, nutritional deficiencies, lifestyle, etc. This session should take about an hour.
