Gluten Intolerance and Coeliac Disease

Coeliac Disease is a condition of the small intestine. Gluten, a substance found in wheat, barley and rye, reacts with the small bowel, causing damage by activating the immune system to attack the delicate lining of the bowel, which is responsible for absorbing nutrients and vitamins.
The clinical symptoms of this condition can range from the typical malabsorption symptoms of chronic diarrhoea, weight loss, and abdominal bloating, to symptoms and conditions that can affect any organ system. Since the onset of Coeliac Disease may be atypical or even silent, where there are seemingly no digestive problems, many cases remain undiagnosed and carry the risk of other long-term complications, such as osteoporosis.
Coeliac Disease has a strong genetic component with prevalence increased to 1 to 10,
in families where Coeliac Disease exists. Coeliac Disease is the most common genetic disease in Europe and the USA: in Italy 1 in 125; UK I in 100; Ireland 1 in 125; USA 1 in 133.
One of the problems with investigation for gluten intolerance and Coeliac Disease is that you must be 100% positive for the diagnosis to be made, which would generally require the need of a biopsy. Now simple blood tests can make the diagnosis and can also grade the severity of the condition.

Candida and Other Yeast Infection.
There is a very important principle concerning Candida and other
yeast-related infections, which is that yeast can only survive, develop
and overgrow in an alkaline environment. Yeast overgrowth is a fermentative condition and fermentation can only happen in an alkaline environment, whereas a natural acid pH is a protective factor against yeast overgrowth.
This concept can be confusing as we are led to believe that acidity is detrimental to health. This is true! But only at the deep cellular level. Your blood, saliva, and mucus
secretions oxidate and become alkaline in ill health. Or put another way, ill health only manifests in an alkaline oxidative state.
Therefore, successful treatment of disease states depends on the correction of the
environment which allowed the disease process to develop in the first place.

The Clinic uses several test procedures to evaluate the acid/alkaline state of the patient:
- Analysis of the Saliva – pH, rH2, r, to give an energy evaluation expressed in microwatts.
- Decoder Analysis indicating acid/alkaline status of the body tissue.
- Laboratory test for Candida Antibodies.
Treatment programmes to correct pH imbalance and yeast overgrowth may include:
- 24 hour special salt D-Tox followed by Ozone Therapy
- Herbal, Homoeopathic, Nutritional, programme.
- Customised diet programme by Prognos
- Meridian balancing by Prognos
