I would reccommend this to anyone with skin complaints. I'm sure this has been the reason my skin has improved - parts of it feel almost normal. Healthy skin is evident below the patches of dryness and my shedding has decreased.
I received the extra fancy Flaxseed Oil from Quintessence (the natropaths who work with Allergenics) yesterday. I foolishly believed the back of the bottle which claimed it tasted good. It is yet another medicine to force myself to consume. I much perfer capsules of which I have some remaining from my supermarket. I am still waiting for those which are coming from Isis.
I never mentioned receiving my medicines from Quintessence. They arrived on Friday and were beautifully wrapped in green tissue paper, an orange ribbon threaded with a fake flower. Enclosed in this package was; eczema cream, a jar of pills for GI (gastro-intestinal, that's the stomach/bowel area) health and pills to aid sleeping (they produce melotonin which we produce naturally). I like the smell of the eczema cream but my husband doesn't, I haven't used it much but was attempted to test it by using only on the left side of my body. My GI pills I was to take for five days and having come to the end of this cycle I hope it clears up my toilet habits (if not then I need to worry). I haven't yet used the sleeping pills, a blessing.

Eating Out
I thought I had the perfect weekend planned for testing the new diet (as well as testing waiting staff). However my two dinners out turned into one, and that not 'out' but at a friends place. We made sushi but my husband didn't like it. I intend to make myself sushi at home, I just wish that it kept so I could make some for the whole week like I do with popcorn and nuts.
I did however also have lunch at my parents on Sunday. Luckily my mother can't eat gluten either and gluten-free food is often dairy free. I was able to eat pancakes from a mix. I was appalled that Golden Syrup is basically sugar and water - how on earth could my mother allow us to eat that?
My first trip to Commonsense Organics with intimidating and expensive. Sadly the bread I bought smells awful and I had to force myself to eat it this morning.
I am a bit concerned about my stomach pains and accompanying toilet habits but will discuss this with my mother today. One of the supplements from Allergenics is for GI health so this may be the cause.
On another note my sister is helping one of her friends who thinks she may have food allergies, she asked about my two natropaths. The email I sent is below:

It cost $99, I paid for this via internet banking. They also do hair test for minerals eg. do you have enough iron etc, this costs the same. (I looked at getting it done via a shop but they use this service and charge 300 for it) They will send a list of your intolerances with a rating, accompanying documentation describing in further detail and a prescription (which you can then call and ask them to send - this is extra cost). It says it takes 4 weeks but it took longer for me (I paid 9 February, they tested 23 March, I recieved results 27 March). It's $60 for a half hour consultation (I didn't do this as I've already spent sooo much money on this whole thing). I paid by credit card (debit card) for this service I don't know if you can pay in other ways.
http://www.karenzhealthbeauty.com/http://www.isis4u.co.nz/ I'm not sure of Karen's new phone number but I know Mum has it and I think her old number still forwards to it. I think it might be (04) 234 1338 which is on the website to query orders. Karen is lovely and really wants to help people. Probably best to read her (longwinded) website I suppose. She has a computer machine thingy that she hooks you up to and it 'reads' you and heals you. I don't know how else to explain it. She also does supplements etc.

Allergenics
For $100 and a swatch of hair this company will diagnose all your allergies.
Thankfully I have no allergies but the list of intolerances is long and problematic.
Orange, sugar (white, brown, honey), wheat, all dairy, tomato, kiwifruit, yeast, onion, garlic and sulphites (preservative).
For the next three months (bring on July!) I will abstain from these substances.
For my first day I visited the supermarket:
Thankfully most vegetarian food already don't contain dairy, some are even gluten free but I was only able to locate two which were also without sugar, onion, garlic or preservatives.
Being unable now to eat Marmite I decided to reintroduce Peanut Butter to my diet. I don't care if it's fatty, it's tasty and my diet could easily lack in taste. I was only able to locate one (Sanitarium Classic) without sugar.
I almost cried in the cereal aisle to discover that 'the health food company' Sanitarium's Cornies and Ricies both contained sugar, I didn't read past the second item on each list.
I had thought Oven Fries would be a simple issue. I was wrong. Of the many (many) varieties of Fries I located one solitary style, unique within it's own brand, which did not include sugar in the form of dextrose.
