Health Practitioners trained in functional medicine - New Zealand

The Best Suppliers of Nutritional Supplements and Information: Unique in the world, the NutriCentre is not only the UK's leading supplier of supplements, it also has one of the finest collection of books on holistic health and nutrition, including spiritual and psychological books related to health. This small shop in the basement of The Hale Clinic at 7 Park Crescent, London, W1N 3HE is always at the cutting edge of what is happening in holistic health. Their products can be ordered easily on-line from www.nutricentre.com or by telephone (44) 0207 436 5122, email: enq@nutricentre.com. The NutriCentre owes thanks to its brilliant and dedicated director, Rohit Mehta, who travels the world learning more about natural health care. The NutriCentre carries more than 20,000 health and natural beauty care products, including both those which are available in health food stores and those sold only through practitioners. What you order is dispatched within 24 hours throughout the world. They have become Britain’s largest supplier of complementary medicine textbooks to British colleges and universities. They print an interesting newsletter on holistic health with extracts printed on their website. The center is dedicated to service, no order is too small or too large. Almost all of what you need for natural health and beauty you will find here. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Functional Medicine: If you want help in implementing either Ketogenic or Insulin Balance into your life, you cannot do better than to work with a doctor or other health practitioner specifically trained in Functional Medicine. This is a cutting edge science-based healthcare approach to help a person establish the very highest level of health and vitality. It concerns assessing and treating underlying causes of illness through individually tailored therapies to restore and enhance health and improve whole-person functioning. Founded in 1993 by the highly respected American biochemist, Jeffrey Bland, the Institute for Functional Medicine was established both to train doctors and other health care professional in this clinically proven, systematic approach to natural healing as well as to provide functional medicine products, publications and programs to practitioners and their patients. To my knowledge the IFM is the only organization in the world doing this. Their advanced understanding of health and healing is a good 30 years ahead of any other I have yet come across. Their products – most sold under the name of Metagenics - are the very best quality and the integrity of the organization is the highest. These are distributed by various companies in different countries. I suggest if you wish to find a doctor or other health practitioner trained in functional medicine that you contact these companies direct and request from them a list of healthcare professionals in your area whom you may consult. In Britain the Metagenics products are also available from the Nutri Centre in London, by mail order or from their website (see above). Here is a list of Metagenics importers in various countries:
