  1. Rheumatoid Arthritis: This is an autoimmune condition where the body’s own immune system is attacking the joints. With a strong genetic component, it can be triggered by viral infection. Certain gut bacteria, food intolerances, exposure to chemicals and stress. Supplements that can help balance the immune system are high strength omega 3 fish oils and vitamin D, natural anti-inflammatories such as curcumin, bowellia and pine bark extract and joint support supplements like UC II cartilage, collagen and glucosamine. We recommend Unocardio fish oils, NutriAdvanced Curcudyn Forte anti-inflammatory and Terranova Glucosamine, Boswellia and MSM Complex.
  2. Sore shoulder: For arthritis we recommend GAL UC II Cartilage or One Nutrition Joint Support. For inflamed tendons we recommend homeopathic Ruta Grav, Rhus Tox and anti-inflammatory curcumin like GAL or Macanta Curcumin Complex.
  3. Carpal tunnel: Often due to repetitive strain injury. Devil’s claw is a good natural remedy.
  4. High iron levels: Most likely a genetic condition called haemochromatosis. Best solution is to give blood every other month. Reducing iron in the diet can help: cut out red meat, green leafy vegetables.
  5. Summer flu: To prevent take a combination of Vitamin D, C and zinc for the next few weeks. Echinacea is great to immediately boost the immune system. Dr. Clare Mucotone is our firm favourite with a blend of echinacea and other herbs to reduce mucus and boost your virus fighting cells.
  6. Child Constipation: Soluble fibre will soften a stool. Add psyllium husk to yoghurt or to breakfast cereals. Pears, apples, rhubarb and kiwis are all high in soluble fibre. Try a digestive enzyme like Natures Plus Tummyzyme and a probiotic like Udos for Children. Rule out food intolerances and dehydration.
