| | A
fundamental problem, is that the treatment of asthma is designed to control the
symptom's of the condition, (the wheezing, coughing, phlegm, constriction of the
airways), without tacking the actual cause. Also, conventional medicine mainly
concentrates on controlling the symptom's using drugs.
At Health
Measures, it is the specific causes of asthma that we focus on and
our treatment offers you a technique which is drug free, but very effective. | |
| The
label 'Asthmatic' has long term ramifications,
especially for children. Children with recurrent symptoms suggestive of asthma
are placed on inhaled steroids and many will be re-prescribed these drugs on a
long-term basis.
However the questions we ask at Health
Measures are:
• Do all these children really require long-term
inhaled steroids?
• Are there any adverse effects associated with
long-term use of inhaled steroids?
• Do all children who wheeze have
asthma? | |
| What
does Asthma lead to? | |
| •
An inability to play sport without needing a reliever part way through.

| What
can Health Measures do to help? | |
| Health
Measures staff will guide you through a programme of tests and consultations
aimed at putting you in the 'driving seat', empowering you to take charge of your
health worries. The
programme includes: •
Clinical tests (as required) •
Urine testing, blood pressure, pulse rate, blood test, height, weight etc. •
Dietary analysis and recommended treatment with essential nutrients •
Explanation of the emotional and psychological relationship to the condition and
reasons behind it. •
Re-education of handling stress causing personalities in your home and/or work
environment. •
Breathing technique – The Buteyko Method •
A stay in a pollution free environment - We are sponsored by 'Ernie' and 'Bernie'
Wright who own The Horncastle Golf and Country Club. Set in beautiful Lincolnshire
countryside this club can offer an 'at cost' stay for Health
Measures clients. | |
| How
long is the programme? | |
| Initially
we expect to see clients weekly for the first couple of sessions. Then you will
be 'weaned off' so that we next see you after about three months, with follow
up visits after six months and a year, to check on progress. If desired, there
will, of course, be the opportunity for you to see us more frequently, but we
would expect your programme to be complete after circa five sessions. When
you talk to us at Health Measures Research
it will be the causes of your skins problems that we will try to isolate. Our
team at Health Measures is committed to using
the experiences you have and the knowledge we have, to guide you
through your problems, answering questions when we can to provide you with a possible
explanation for your skin condition and help to break the 'vicious circle'. Together
we will seek to find a management programme suited to you and your lifestyle which
will effectively control the skin eruptions and lead towards a cure. We do not
claim to have all the answers, but we do have the will to try to find them. Using
our methods and from our own experience 90% of cases can be controlled without
dependency on steroid creams. Using
our methods and your commitment, along with our experience
and expertise, we will together achieve. | |
