“I have known Caroline for quite a few years now and she has helped me in the past with food intolerances and general well-being advice.
Last year, I felt dreadful, no energy, bad skin.The doctor said I had IBS and I just felt thoroughly unwell.
Then in May, I developed very still and very painful joints. They swelled up to the point where I found it difficult to get around and felt like an old person of 90 !!
My digestion was terrible and I developed what the doctor told me was eczema on my hands. The entire palm side of my hands and fingers peeled down a good few layers of skin, leaving them cracked, bleeding and extremely sore. I had to bathe them in creams and ointments everyday just so I could use them without severe pain.
I was then diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, which 1 in 10 people with psoriasis develop and I just happened to be one of the unlucky ones.
The doctor wanted to start me on very strong medication which comes with its own set of side effects and steroid injections. Neither of which I was going to take after reading up about them on the internet.
It was then that I thought I would look Caroline up. Luckily for me, she was just opening her new clinic in Bromsgrove. I was so glad I went along to see her on her open day. I could hardly get up the steps as I was in that much pain and nearly in tears when I got into her office. When I filled in the consultation form she could hardly believe the things I had suffered, numerous operations and illnesses, now the arthritis. I was at my lowest.
Caroline put me on a strict eating regime, very plain and boring with lots of water. I didn’t care. I would try anything rather than take those drugs. For 4 weeks I ate what I called ‘cardboard food’, but hey, I started to feel better and the skin on my hands was clearing up.
Slowly I was allowed to eat more food that my body could digest and after about 5 – 6 weeks my hands had cleared up completely. I couldn’t believe it.
I have carried on with Caroline’s advice and six months on, I am managing my condition much better. I have lost weight, (about one stone), my joints aren’t as swollen or painful, my digestion is great, no more IBS and people say I look ten years younger !!
If I hadn’t known about Caroline and her clinic, it could have been a very different story. I only take painkillers if my condition flares up, dig deep and live without strong medication.
So to anyone who is thinking of trying something other than drugs, I am living proof that a change in lifestyle and help from Caroline, has turned my life around and I can pursue a relatively normal life as long as I take care of myself.

If I hadn’t been for Caroline’s help and kindness, I don’t know where I would be now, but one things for certain, I know I wouldn’t feel this good “
Caroline was recommended to me by a friend, I had been suffering from a thyroid autoimmune disease and the symptoms from that for over a decade.
I was fed up taking prescribed medication and seeing no obvious results. I needed to try something else, being diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and having to wear wrist splints was the final straw.
Caroline diagnosed me after just a 1hr telephone conversation. She explained in detail and in simple jargon why my body was experiencing the symptoms that I had and that she could cure me. There were things going on in within my body that I had no clue about.
Caroline guided me all the way and I worked hard cutting out the foods that she recommended after the results of being tested.
The change has been quite remarkable, no more mouth ulcers, allergies, joint pain, leg cramps. My head is clearer, and my energy has increased.
My doctor suggested having an operation on both my wrists to cure carpal tunnel, don’t need it now! Inflammation of my peripheral nerves is no longer present.

My only regret is that I didn’t come across Caroline much earlier! “
