Intake

The intake of the case requires several stages as follows:

Online History Form

We have prepared an online form which considerably reduces the time involved in collecting the initial data necessary to start work.  This needs to be completed prior to the initial interview.

Initial Interview

A face to face meeting or a video conference of one hour duration is scheduled to discuss the details of the case and to consider the needs and expectations of the prospective student. The desired outcome of this call is that the student will have some clarity regarding the nature of their case, what will be involved in managing their particular situation and how others in similar circumstances have fared in the past.

Agreement

We consider the case and decide whether or not we are prepared to take it on. Once the prospective student has considered their own situation, we make an agreement to start the work and continue to completion.  This is a similar situation to an apprenticeship agreement. For a successful outcome, it is important that both the teacher and the student commit to completing the transmission of skills and to ensuring the student’s mastery of the subject.

Case History & Physical Examination

The information collected on the online form is used as the basis for a full case evaluation.  This is preferably done in a face to face setting and the majority of our students travel to Dublin where our outpatients clinic and testing equipment are currently located.  This enables us to most clearly establish three important considerations:

1. The course of the disease process.  i.e.

   1. At what point in time did the student’s health begin to deviate from normal.

   2. How long has the the disease been progressing?

   3. Have there been previous interventions or treatments which have further compounded the problem?

   4. Was the onset in adulthood, prior to puberty or in early childhood?

   5. Were there constitutional weaknesses in the parents or earlier in the bloodline.

   6. Is there a history of famine or serious diseases in the family? (Some of these such as TB for example, may predispose descendants to specific constitutional weaknesses that last for generations. The WHO states that it takes around 7 generations of healthy nutrition to breed out the negative effects of a famine.)

      Having this information enables us in many cases to take steps to compensate for specific issues and improve the rate of progress towards optimum health.

2. The current state of health.  This is an evaluation of:

   1. Symptoms currently or periodically being experienced. 

   2. Signs of which the client may not be aware but which are apparent to the skilled observer through observation, palpation, examination.

   3. Syndromes i.e. recognisable patterns for which working strategies of management have already been developed.

   4. Clinical test results.  We firstly consider the results of the conventional tests for gross pathology used in conventional medicine. Further to these, we employ a number of non-invasive testing procedures. We use these to establish any deviation from the normal function of organs and systems that may lead to the later development of more serious pathology. The more advanced warning we can get of impending problems the more effectively we can steer the case away from avoidable complications.  

   5. The prognosis. i.e.

      1. An estimation of the degree of improvement in the state of health that the client may reasonably be expected to achieve.

      2. The length of time that may be expected to be taken in bringing this to fruition. 

Website Setup

We use a variety of third-party web services to facilitate the tracking of data and record-keeping during the coaching period.  We also have recommended suppliers of medical equipment, testing devices and services, as well as food-state nutritional supplements which we have tested over time and are confident are capable of producing satisfactory results.  

Training

In order to keep both the student and ourselves fully au fait with the progress of the case, we teach you how to collect your own clinical information on a daily basis and record it in a manner that is ordered and concise. This while being informative, also becomes progressively more interesting and motivating. This is not particularly difficult to do once you know the “how” and especially the “why” of your doing it.
