By m e a n s of a s im p le , non-intrusive test using the Vega


Machine, we can give a comprehensive list of the foods, chemicals and pollens to which the person is sensitive or which should be avoided. We give advice on the elimination of these foods from the diet, and alternatives where possible, to allow the body to de-toxify. To complete the programme advice is given on where to shop, how to cope, and recipe sheets for extra help. This provides a more positive and individual approach to what is at the moment a very complex subject.
