Customer Testimonials
For many years I have suffered from Rhinitis and excess acid and have tried numerous remedies,which have only given temporary relief. I recently decided to visit Marlene at "The Devon Allergy Clinic" where I underwent a wide range of tests,a completely painless process.These revealed I had an allergy to dairy products,eggs and dustmite. On Marlene's advice I am now using Soya products and goats cheese and feel so much better. If you have a problem,I would recommend Marlene to you,it could change your life,just as it has mine.

Allergy Test
For the best part of 2008 I had not felt right. I was not “ill”, I just felt sluggish. I had low energy levels and seemed to catch every cold and virus going. Each month, before my period was due, I had a migraine which was located behind my left eye. This made me tense and irritable. I also had pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulders and sometimes my legs just did not want to work. My lifelong eczema kept flaring up and I was constantly itchy and sore. Plus I had had intermittent bouts of IBS for years. To cap it all I was carrying an extra 4lbs around my middle that no amount of diet or exercise could shift.
As a complementary health practitioner myself, I decided to have an allergy test in August 2008. I already knew I was lactose intolerant and suffered with asthma and eczema too. Thus the chances of me having a sensitivity to something else was probable.
The first thing Marlene confirmed was my lactose intolerance. As I was born with this condition, this diagnosis immediately gave me confidence in the test. At the end of the test it was confirmed that I had an overgrowth of Candida in my gut. I was advised to take probiotic tablets and follow a yeast free diet. This was easier said than done, as yeast is used as a preservative in countless foods, as I was to find out over the next few months.
Despite several setbacks of illness and infections due to my lowered immune system I stuck religiously to the diet. I noticed after the first month that my pre-menstrual migraine was less acute. It was even less severe after two months and after four months had disappeared altogether. After the initial ‘die-off’ of the Candida and an allergic reaction to Milk Thistle, my eczema started to clear up. All my aches, pains and stiffness disappeared and I had no further bouts of IBS. Best of all, I lost a stone in weight, which I have never regained, even though now I actually eat more food! My friends tell me I look younger and more vital and I feel completely different.
A follow up allergy test in May 2009 confirmed that I was free of Candida. I would recommend that anybody with similar symptoms to mine have this simple, painless and non-invasive test. For me at least, it really did change my life!
