Thoughts?

I'm considering it.

I would do it if it wasn't so expensive. I have been getting emails as I looked at it a while ago. I have the food intolerance tests done by another company.

I really really want the neurotransmitter tests done at the very least!

My mum has offered to take a loan out to pay.

[Annie0904]

I think it will be worth it and would have them all done if I could The tests I had showed that I have an intolerance to yeast, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, coriander and coffee.

Sounds interesting, but agree with Annie, it's a bit pricy.

It's a shame that everything there is that might help us seems to cost a fortune x

Yeah it's awful isn't it. These things could save the NHS money!

Drug companies would never ever put the sort of money into researching these things as they do with their big pharma drugs.

My mum just really wants me to get better and is willing to work extra hours and get a loan to help me get what I need to get better. 'Professionals' have been unhelpful, just wanting to add more potent drugs to the equation which I'm not happy to do.

I'm lucky I have the parents that I do.

That is really nice of your Mum to do that but that is what us Mums do I am the same with my kids, I have gone without myself so many times to help them out. I have to be good to them..one day I might need them to look after me

Steven, I'd urge you to do a bit of reading up on this, particularly on the guy behind it, Patrick Holford, it's not all positive. However, I am pretty much in remission from ME after consulting a naturopath (I can't say 'because of' as I simply don't know) and some of their diagnostic methods may be similar, although the treatment is different. This looks a good bit more expensive though and the great thing about Rosalie is that she asks you nothing about your symptoms before she tests you, whereas this place is getting a clue from what test or tests you ask for. I also found her through personal recommendation. I'm not saying dont do it, just suggesting you make an informed choice. Rosalie uses treatment called "biochemic tissue salts. You might want to have a look at this and compare it to what Holford does. http://www.moonslipper.com/biochemictissuesalts.html

PS I'm not recommending the tissue salts you can buy on the high street. I've only tried them for hay fever but they did nothing.

Having had a thorough read through the literature of foodforthebrain.org I remain sceptical.
The average person must have at least six consultations at 160.00 each plus the cost of suppements, and it is a limited market being based in Richmond,London the prices are bound to be high, and when ever I see a web page with testimonials I have my doubts.
As for Skype is that really the same as a one to one face to face consoltation, IMO no.
