Drummartin Clinic – Functional Medicine :
An Option For You When Standard Treatments Have Failed

Have you failed to discover an effective solution for your medical problems? Have you consulted widely and been thoroughly investigated? Have your very unusual or varied symptoms raised medical eyebrows? We combine pharmaceutical medicine, functional medicine, intravenous therapy and medical ozone treatment to hopefully restore your quality of life.

Before seeing us we request that if you have any new red-flag symptoms e.g. new suspicious type headache, severe fatigue, change in bowel habit in an over-40 which require standard evaluation that you see your GP first to make sure that something needing urgent evaluation is not missed.

Further Information: we have asked a selection of our patients to write about their experience being treated at Drummartin Clinic

We seek to restore lives. We have decades of experience investigating and treating complex illnesses and see 30-50 new complex illness patients each month. We cannot promise outcomes but we have been told more than once, that the effects of our treatment have been ‘life changing’.

Pharmaceutical medicine is important, especially so in acute/emergency situations. We are not anti-pharmaceutical. Frequently the skilled use of pharmaceuticals in long-term illnesses helps maintain and restore quality of life. Nevertheless, the medical profession must avoid the temptation to sometimes, reflexively label unusual or mysterious symptoms which do not easily fit a standard ‘disease’ pattern, as purely being a manifestation of stress or a ‘somatisation disorder’.

We seek to help the disillusioned patient who has “been everywhere and tried everything”. Our aim is to bring physical, mental and emotional well-being back to people’s lives.

Our Mission at the Drummartin Clinic is to offer fresh thinking , an actively listening ear and decades of GP experience along with extensive skills in functional,complementary and nutritional medicine. We are thorough and adept at also thinking outside the standard clinical ‘box’.

We like to think we are kind and non-judgemental.

For the best outcomes in healing, patients need to be actively involved in the healing process and doctor-patient teamwork is an important part of this. Without wishing to sound too jargonistic, patients need to engage with their inner healer.
