Testimonials

I took my son to see Alison recently to discuss his slow growth. At 14 he is the height of a 10 year old and weighs just over 30kgs. His peers all tower above him. She arranged for various tests to be done and discovered from the results of a urine amino acid test that he had a rare condition called cystinuria (a condition that can cause kidney stones & many people with the disease report short stature).

My GP then referred me to a specialist who had never seen a patient with this condition who had not been referred due to experiencing kidney stones and was very surprised to know that it was the good work of a nutritional therapist that discovered this condition. We are now in a position to take the preventative action recommended by Alison to prevent kidney stones from developing in future.

Alison also provided him with a supplement programme. We are not sure whether cystinuria is the cause of his slow growth or not, but are now more confident that we have done what we can to ensure there is no underlying problem. He has been a picture of health since seeing her and seems better able to shake off the bugs that he comes into contact with.
