What we offer

Allergies, Anaphylaxis & Mast Cell Activation

It is estimated that around one in three people in the UK are affected by an allergy at some point in their lives. Our aim is to identify the allergen that causes the allergic symptoms; this can then be avoided or treated with safe methods of desensitisation in order to give lasting relief.

Autoimmune or just immune disease?

Although the popular belief is that the cause of a symptom can be located accurately by investigating the system affected, many people (and doctors) are often oblivious to the connections with the immune system.

Investigations

Identifying the cause is the first step in understanding why your health has been affected. We use a variety of tests, each recommended according to the specific needs of the individual.

Treatments

Our treatment methods have been formulated over many years of experience in the specialised fields of allergy and nutritional medicine. They are carefully designed to deliver optimum results in the shortest time.

The Burghwood Clinic

Our clinic specialises in the investigation and treatment of all types of allergies and problems associated with the immune system. The common factors in these conditions are increasingly linked with lifestyle, environmental pollutants and infectious agents causing a toxic load in susceptible people, which the body struggles to deal with. For those referred by healthcare professionals, we also welcome NHS referrals, and our team can provide information about fees before your appointment.

 

We were one of the first in Britain to specialise in the field of allergy, nutrition and environmental influences on health and have helped thousands of people to overcome their chronic conditions. We endeavour to identify the main underlying causal factors by in-person or online consultation and use effective, customised, scientific or novel methods to manage them.

I have suffered from extreme food intolerance and allergies for 30 years. The standard NHS advice is to avoid problem foods. I can do that - and it works - but then a very serious problem emerges with that approach: I simply do not have enough to eat and lose weight dangerously rapidly and am, understandably, very weak from malnutrition. I searched everywhere for a sensible solution. I am not the kind of person to be hoodwinked by the rash claims of unqualified practitioners. With a first degree in Mathematics and a research degree in Nuclear Physics, I am well aware of the need for a proper scientific solution and approached the treatment with great caution. Dr Econs and his staff have given me desensitisation treatment now for many years, helping me to survive. There is no doubt that it has been a lifesaving process. Without it, I would have starved to death twenty years ago. In addition - for the first time in my experience - whatever has been prescribed has never caused me any kind of negative reaction. We all know that medical costs are expensive but at Burghwood, they seem to be very modest in comparison with other private clinics. The Burghwood nursing and administrative staff have clearly been very carefully selected and prepared. They have been another very valuable help with an efficient, prompt and gentle service. This reliable, kindly care has eased many difficult days for me. I am very grateful for Burghwood and it’s staff; they run an exemplary clinic from which many could learn.
