FAQs

My skin comes up in a rash from time to time. I think I’m allergic to certain foods. Can you help me?

My approach with a problem like this is to use gentle muscle testing on your arm, with you seated, to see what triggers such as foods, animal fur and chemicals in your environment are causing your skin to react. If there is a particular food that you suspect it can be really helpful to bring a sample with you so that you can be tested with it.

Your body may be suffering from an overload of chemicals, heavy metals and unhelpful bacteria that gradually build up over time. Signs of sensitivity or allergy tend to show when you are particularly stressed or you are exposed to more allergens, such as pollen or dust mites.

It can be valuable in the short term to know what causes your reaction. However, my aim is to help people be able to live a normal life without complicated exclusion diets. Therefore I use muscle testing to find out what part of your body is not working effectively and what homeopathic remedies, nutrition or life style changes that organ or system needs to function fully. Once your body can get rid of these toxins you are likely to find that your energy levels and sense of well being generally improve, as well as being less sensitive to foods etc.

How long will my course of treatment last?

This will vary according to your state of health at the start of treatment. Generally, the longer you have been suffering from a problem, the more pharmaceutical drugs you are taking and the more toxins you have been exposed to, the longer it will take to resolve. In the case of a complaint that you have had for a number of years, it might take six months upwards to improve significantly. However, usually you would notice other general improvements in your well being during this time.
Children on the whole respond to homeopathic remedies and flower essences more quickly than adults, as they tend to have higher vitality and fewer toxins in their systems.

What is kinesiology? (pronounced kin-easy-ology)

Systematic Kinesiology is a way of identifying any imbalances you may have in your body by monitoring your ability to hold your muscles against light pressure.
Each muscle is related to an organ and also to an energy pathway called a meridian. Together the muscle, organ and meridian form a circuit. If there are chemical, emotional, structural or energetic stresses affecting the circuit, the muscle tested will feel ’spongy’, indicating an imbalance.
Once an imbalance is found Hellis will test the muscle again to get feedback from your body about what factors are causing the imbalance and what remedies or lifestyle changes will help to rebalance it.

How is the muscle testing done?

Hellis will ask you to keep you arm down by your side while she applies extremely gentle pressure above the wrist to pull your arm away from your body. She will repeat this many times in order to find out what factors are affecting you and to identify a specific treatment plan for you. In this way each prescription is unique to you, based on your body’s knowledge of what is detrimental and beneficial to it.

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that has been in use for around 200 years. Around 30 million people in Europe alone use homeopathic treatment. The World Health Organisation estimates that some 500 million people worldwide use homeopathy as their primary health care system.
Homeopathy relies on the self-healing process of your being and works by stimulating your body’s own healing power. It does not heal superficially by dealing with symptoms; rather it heals you from within by dealing with the root cause of your disease.Ill-health comes about because of a disturbance of your whole being, affecting both mind and body. Homeopaths do not believe in giving different medicines for different parts of your body that are afflicted, but one single medicine which treats the overall disturbance.
Homeopathic remedies are made from plants, minerals and other natural substances. They are extremely dilute and therefore are safe to use for everyone, including babies, pregnant women and the elderly.
For more information about this effective form of medicine see Resources page.

Electromagnetic Protection Devices

If Hellis discovers that you are being adversely affected by your current exposure to electromagnetic radiation, she will test to see if wearing a personal electromagnetic protection device will be helpful in reducing your symptoms. In some cases a Celltech Harmoniser in the home may be needed as well as or instead of a personal device. Hellis has found the Celltech devices to be the most effective ones available for electro-sensitive people.

These devices produce a bio-field of subtle energy vibrations that help prevent your cells from resonating at the frequencies produced by wi-fi, cordless and mobile phones etc. in your environment rather than at their natural rate. When cells start to vibrate in tune with the external environment your health will be adversely affected and any system in your body may be affected. This is why the symptoms of electro-sensitivity are so varied and can affect the whole and any part of your body.
