Balancing the immune system

As I continue to believe that my main cause of Vitiligo is an internal immune imbalance or defect, I decided to try the immune system balancing and hair analysis program from Dr Wilson.

I’m working with Lila Hammond who is a practitioner who runs This is Energy and works with Dr Wilson to offer the treatment in London. This is her summary of the program:

“Illness develops in layers.  Often, years of physical, biochemical and emotional upsets deplete the body of nutrients, cause the accumulation of toxic metals and in other ways disturb the body.  These insults are added to imbalances, deficiencies and toxicity, which almost everyone today is born with and/or exposed to on a daily basis.  Healing is a reversal of this process.  This program is concerned with healing these deep imbalances and not simply removing symptoms.  Symptom removal often does not address causes.

Your hair mineral analysis reflects the top layer of your metabolism.  We address what is revealed on the analysis with diet, supplementary nutrients, lifestyle modification, and detoxification procedures.  After several months, a repeat analysis will reveal a deeper layer of your metabolism.  Many times, it will look different from the previous layer if this healing program was followed.  Uncovering and reversing layers of adaptations and compensations, a process we call retracing, requires time and some persistence, but is far more permanent and health-producing than simply stopping your symptoms.”

The program is pretty extensive and addresses all areas of your life, not only the nutritional aspect.  There does appear to be a minor religious(or at least spiritual) aspect to it, which I’m not completely sold on but the physical principles regarding detoxifying the body and neutralizing the bio-stresses make a lot sense to me. Special attention is paid to the adrenal and thyroid glands, which has also been known to be connected with Vitiligo in some cases.

The full programme costs £180, which I think is very reasonable, it includes:

• Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis carried out by Analytical Research Labs (as recommended by Dr Wilson)
• Lila’s 15-20 page report (or audio CD if you prefer) with your Nutritional Balancing Programme, based on and tailored specifically for you, with personal recommendations on the supplement part of your programme made by Dr Wilson himself and based on your results
• Dietary recommendations based on your results
• Detoxification procedures to follow whilst on the programme
• Practices and lifestyle recommendations to support whole system healing and rebuilding the adrenal and thyroid glands;
• Information on symptoms and sources of heavy metal toxicity
• Regular updates via email and phone contact (up to 15 minutes at a time) with Lila whilst you are on the programme as she monitors your progress and makes any adaptations and fine tuning.

I’ll update the blog with my progress, how I apply the changes in my life, and my overall experience of the program.
