Conditions Treated Dunmartin Clinic – Information On The Types Of Conditions We Treat at Drummartin  Clinic.

Conditions Treated Dunmartin Clinic – Overview

  • We have over thirty years experience of investigating and treating medically unexplained symptoms.
    Our aim is to find out:
  • What is going wrong for this person i.e. why do they have these symptoms?
  • How can I get them back to vibrant health and well-being rather than merely existing courtesy of lots of pharmaceuticals every day?
  • We hope that by finding out what is wrong we also make you healthier for the rest of your life so that you age better and have quality-of-life in your later years.
  • We do not replace your own G.P. or specialist.Please think of what we do as an add-on to your standard medical treatment and not a replacement for it.I work in parallel with your own G.P. or consultant. I do not replace your G.P. or consultant. Your G.P. is the appropriate and competent person whom you should first attend with any new medical problem.

Conditions Treated at Dunmartin Clinic

  • Before making an appointment: If you have any worrisome medical symptoms, weight loss, unexplained night sweats, change in bowel habit for an over 40, please do not immediately seek functional medicine treatment – the first thing to do is to see your G.P. and get his or her evaluation and advice.
  • Irish General practitioners are very skilled in acute diagnosis. So please first bring symptoms which need checking out to your G.P. before coming to see us.
  • In Ireland, the range of complementary medical treatments on offer is far behind continental Europe. The prevailing paradigms is very much a pharmaceutical one.
  • Irish medicine does not accept and, mostly, ridicules naturally based therapies including functional and nutritional medicine

  • The attending doctor has made a diagnosis and you are actively undergoing treatment,but there is little or no improvement in symptoms.
  • The patient is not satisfied with the diagnosis e.g. fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine syndrome, premenstrual syndrome,  or ‘depression. The patient wishes to drill down and find out what is going on biochemically and treat it at a causal level rather than purely medicating the symptoms.
  • The patient is going from doctor to doctor and feels they are not being heard. This would include fatigue situations, chemical sensitivity, brain fog, mild cognitive impairment, post viral syndrome  – mould problems will usually also fall into this category.
  • The patient ‘cannot take ‘the usually prescribed medical treatment. This will include people who have difficulties taking anti-inflammatory drugs, difficulty taking steroids, who are also intolerant of antidepressant medication.
  • The patient is complaining of symptoms which sound bizarre and may make the doctor wonder about the patient’s mental state and which may also make the patient doubt their personal sanity. This will include people suffering from unusual symptoms such as electromagnetic sensitivity/sensitivity to electric shocks, atypical  ticks,  spasms and seizure type events. Some of the symptoms may be referable to mould or to chemical sensitivity
  • The patient has been told: “there is nothing physically wrong with you”. This group comprises a high percentage of our patients and also will include a lot of patients from the ‘unusual symptoms’ group immediately above.

There are no magic hidden cancer cures. There are unscrupulous individuals out there who may tell you that there are magical, complementary cures for cancer. Yes some complementary therapies may be beneficial for some patients just as some standard medicine for cancer may be very beneficial, but there is no magical cancer cure which is being ‘hidden’ by the pharmaceutical establishment.

If you have finished your active cancer treatment and you want to improve your energy and vitality or if you wish to be investigated from the point of view of mycotoxins/chemicals/ toxic body burden, then I am very happy to treat you..

If you are actively undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy and would like treatment such as ozone then you must first obtain consent from your oncologist.

Do not think in black and white terms  regarding cancer: If I had a malignant tumour to deal with I would look at everything available  would never consider  heading  down a solely complementary medical route.  Always remember the best kind of medicine is the right medicine which may well be a mixture of both the functional medicine approach and the  conventional medical approach.

I would advise if you have a cancer diagnosis do a lot of reading, listen to your oncologist and then come to your decision. Medical treatment is almost never a black and white matter.

Clinical situations where I consider we have a decent chance of really improving your outcome and health status
