Never has preparation for pregnancy been more important. We are all exposed to an unprecedented amount of toxins in the home, air, environment even our cars and during travel on planes. We will take you through preparation for pregnancy to ensure the healthiest baby. We also work with infertility and sub fertility to optimise your opportunities for pregnancy.

During a consultation you will learn about the following:

It is essential that both prospective parents eat the best possible diet for preferably six months before conception. Couples are advised to buy organic foods whenever possible. We advise filtering the drinking water to avoid toxic metals, agrochemicals and excess chlorine and oestroegens.

 

The effects of the Oral Contraceptive Pill, and other exogenous hormones, vitamin and mineral levels can be  tested and corrected. (By the way the contraceptive pill lowers zinc, manganese, vitamin A and the B-complex vitamins.)

 

These can often be a symptomless infection that will only be activated by the hormonal stimulation of pregnancy. Untreated, conditions can lead to infertility, a series of miscarriages, or to premature and sickly babies. Chlamydia in particular can lead to eye conditions and pneumonia, which can result in permanent damage to the retina or lungs. American studies have linked it to otitis media and gastro-enteritis.

 

The effects of high levels of Toxic Metals and Trace Elements

 

At Nutrition Physician we offer testing for hair analysis to establish the presence of excess heavy (toxic) metals or the shortage of essential trace minerals. Where essential trace elements are shown to be below the optimum for healthy foetal development we give a programme of supplementation for a stated period, then retest. Similarly, where the toxic metals are above the threshold level for safety for foetal development, we give a cleansing programme of Vitamin C, Garlic and Vitamins B1 and B12 until they are within the safe limits.

 

The supplement / cleansing programme is adjusted and repeated until levels compatible with a healthy pregnancy are achieved. This usually takes 4 - 6 months.

Following the full programme, the pregnancy can be started with a normal, strong sperm and ova, the embryo can implant in a healthy uterus and can develop in optimum conditions. There will be no danger from nutritional deficiency, or damage from heavy metals or other toxins or viral and / or bacterial disease.

Allergies, Intolerances and Parasites

 

You will be made aware of the dangers of the above and how to avoid them.
