There’s a difference in different salts. Let’s get celtic or Himalayan salt back into your diet unless you have a kidney disease.

Many sensitive people are unknowingly trying to push detoxification pathways before the body has enough flow and drainage support in place.

Sometimes the body is not reacting because it is weak.
Sometimes it is reacting because things are not moving properly.

Stress, nervous system overload, mould exposure, inflammation, poor hydration, lack of movement, restrictive dieting, and chronic sympathetic activation can all affect bile flow and digestive signalling.

This is one reason why I focus so heavily on drainage, fascia, lymphatic support, nervous system regulation, bowel function, and pacing in clinic, rather than aggressive detox approaches.

When flow improves, the body often becomes more tolerant, calmer, and more resilient.

If this pattern resonates with you, my new website and Simple Clinic portal will be launching very soon, making it much easier to access support, bookings, resources, and educational content.

Drainage and flow.

Most people are trying to detox a body that cannot clear.

That is where things start to go wrong.

When the body cannot eliminate properly, pushing detox creates pressure instead of healing. Symptoms flare, sensitivities increase, and people are told they are “reacting”. When in reality the system is overwhelmed.

This is why I work differently.

Before we push detox, we support the body’s ability to clear.

Not just one pathway, but the whole system.

The nervous system comes first.
If the body does not feel safe, it will not let go.

The lymphatic system moves waste.
If it is sluggish, toxins do not get where they need to go.

The liver processes toxins.
But it relies on good bile flow to move them out.

The gut decides what leaves.
If it is inflamed or slow, toxins can be reabsorbed.

The kidneys help clear through fluid.
But they depend on everything upstream working.

The fascia connects it all.
If there is tension or restriction, fluid cannot move freely.

When this system is not working well, we see the same pattern.

Symptoms build up.

Toxins recirculate.
Sensitivity increases.
People react to everything.

When we support flow properly.

Symptoms begin to settle.
The body becomes more tolerant.
Energy starts to return.
And detox finally becomes doable.

This is the foundation of how I practise.

I often use DesBio drainage formulas as part of this process. Not to “force detox”, but to gently support the body’s natural pathways so it can start clearing again in the right order.

And this is also what my book is about.

Because what I see, over and over again, is not that the body is broken.

It is that it is holding on.

Not because it wants to.
But because it does not yet feel safe, or able, to let go.

When you restore flow, the body changes.

Not because you pushed it.

But because you finally supported it in the way it needed.

Histamine is often reduced to “allergies.”
But clinically, that’s not what I see.
What I see are patterns

Histamine doesn’t create symptoms out of nowhere

It targets the systems that are already under pressure.

If someone has a sensitive nervous system, it shows up as poor sleep or anxiety.

If hormones are the weak link, it shows up around the menstrual cycle — headaches, breast tenderness, pain.

If the gut is struggling, it becomes food reactions, bloating, or instability.

If the skin is the outlet, you’ll see rashes, flushing, or itching.

Same histamine driver — different expression.

This is why generic “low histamine” approaches often don’t hold long term?

Because histamine isn’t the root cause — it’s a load and signalling issue layered on top of existing vulnerability.

The way I work is to:
• Identify the individual’s weakest link
• Reduce overall load (including environmental triggers like mould)
• Support drainage pathways (especially bile, lymph, and gut)
• Stabilise the nervous system
• Then layer in targeted support where needed

When you do this properly, histamine settles — because the system is no longer under the same pressure.

It’s not about chasing symptoms.
It’s about understanding the pattern.

How do I determine this?

Plants are not just “active ingredients.”They are complete systems.

In medicine, we often isolate one compound from a plant to create a targeted effect.

For example:• Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) → digoxin• White willow bark (Salix alba) → aspirin

These medications can be incredibly effective — and at times, essential.

But when we isolate one compound, we also remove the plant’s natural buffering, balancing, and regulatory components.

That’s where herbal medicine takes a different approach.

We don’t just use a single plant.We combine plants in synergy.

A well-constructed herbal formula is designed to:• Support the primary issue• Protect tissues and reduce irritation• Enhance absorption and delivery• Open drainage pathways (liver, lymph, bowel)• Regulate the nervous system

So instead of forcing a single pathway, we support the body as a whole system.

This is why herbal medicine can feel gentler — but also more sustainable long term.

It’s not about replacing pharmaceuticals.It’s about understanding when to work with the intelligence of the body, rather than overriding it.

This is the heart of traditional herbal medicine which is respecting the inherent wisdom in plants and our bodies.

Rather than isolating single compounds we work with whole plants to gently guide the body back to balance.

Nature has spent millions of years perfecting these healing relationships. Our role? To listen, learn and apply with reverence. 🙌🏼

Humidity is high.
Mould is on the national news.
And in clinic this week I’ve seen the same three patterns show up again.

Three people can live in the same house and react completely differently.

Some flare.
Some puff.
Some slowly decline and blame “aging.”

In this video I explain the three patterns I see over and over — and why understanding your terrain matters more than blaming the environment alone.

If you’ve been feeling reactive, puffy, foggy, or just “not yourself”… this may resonate.

AO Bioresonance isn’t about diagnosing disease.

It’s about identifying stress patterns, nervous system load, and tolerance capacity before symptoms escalate.

For clients with mould exposure, gut dysregulation, histamine sensitivity, or chronic inflammation, sequencing matters.

When we understand what the body can handle first, we avoid crashes, flares, and unnecessary protocols.

That’s why I use it.

Not to replace clinical reasoning — but to refine it.

In practice, I often see people treating bacterial or fungal overgrowths repeatedly without addressing the terrain that allowed them to develop in the first place.

Root contributors I’m always assessing include:
• Impaired motility (often needing gentle prokinetic support)
• Ileocecal valve dysfunction (a common but overlooked driver of reflux, bloating, and recurrence)
• Poor vagal tone and chronic sympathetic dominance
• Inadequate bile flow and drainage through the liver, lymph, and bowel

SIFO (fungal overgrowth) especially tends to show up when:
• The gut environment is stagnant
• Detox pathways are overloaded
• The nervous system is stuck in “fight or flight”

This is why my approach doesn’t start with killing.
It starts with opening drainage pathways, restoring flow, and calming the nervous system.

I use AO bioresonance to help identify where regulation is breaking down, what the body is prioritising, and what needs support first — so protocols are targeted, tolerable, and sustainable.

Clear the traffic jam → then address microbes.
Not the other way around.

If you’ve “treated SIBO” more than once and it keeps coming back, this is usually why.
