FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long will it take before I feel better?

This is a difficult question to answer. There are those who find that they achieve wonderful results very quickly just by making one or two adjustments to their diet. There are others who need to make a number of changes and stick to them for a long time before they see results. It all depends upon how long you have been ill, how old you are, your present diet and lifestyle, and the strength of your constitution.

How many appointments will I need?

It is entirely up to you how often you see us. You may find just seeing Dr Anderson once will be enough to set you on the right road and if you additionally see the Nutritional Therapist you will be armed with all the information you need to put your new regime into effect. So there will be no need to return for further appointments, but we would highly recommend that you do. We have found that patients who attend a course of consultations tend to achieve more.

It may be tempting to give up if you experience any difficulties putting the diet into practice. Or you may not feel that you are getting the desired results quickly enough. Another appointment will help to motivate you to continue and give you further ideas of how to implement changes.

A short course of appointments will help to reassure you that you are doing the right things, that treatment is progressing correctly and that you are eating a balanced diet.

It is always helpful to have moral support and someone understanding to talk to during treatment.

That is not to say that you will not be able to put this form of treatment into practice on your own - it just takes patience, perseverance and will-power. But the effort will well and truly be worth it!
