I am 34 years old and I have had insulin dependent diabetes for the last 33 years. I then developed an under active thyroid about 4 years ago. I went through a great deal of related issues such as lethargy, weight gain, breaking off hair, skin problems and depression. I have been on thyroxin ever since at 250mg a day, which is quite a high dose but the specialists have confirmed that it is necessary.

I turned to natural medicine in 2007 because I was so unhappy! I had gained a lot of weight and was so tired all the time, which made me very depressed. Timea, at Healthy Matters, took detailed notes of my history, not just in medical form but my feelings and emotions too. She was very thorough. The real difference in the way that Timea works in addition to her complete professionalism and knowledge is the fact that she genuinely cares so much and really wants to make a difference to people’s health and life.

After the detailed consultation, Timea prescribed specific herbal medicine, a supplement to help balance my blood sugars and a constitutional homeopathic remedy to balance my emotional state (these remedies do not have any affect on any other medication that I take).  I took the stated dose for 2 weeks as required.  My goodness what a difference! I was pretty much back to my normal happy, smiley self and my family were absolutely astonished at the sudden, positive transformation! They had been so worried about me for the last couple of years as they had watched me get deeper and deeper into a depressive state and weight gain etc. that they were at a loss as to what to do to help.

I asked Timea why it had made such a huge difference so quickly and she explained that it is because my hormone production was low and that some of the secondary symptoms of my condition were not managed, however the herbal and homeopathic medicine that she prescribed naturally stimulated hormone production and targetted symptoms associated with the condition. That’s why I don’t have to take a pile of supplements for the rest of my life.  Now I only take my daily multi-vitamin and extra vitamin C due to my low immune system re my diabetes and then if on a rare occasion I am starting to feel that I am getting sad again I just take one of the prescribed doses of homeopathic medicine for 3 days and I am back to my normal, happy self again!

My Dad in particular was always very wary of this type of thing and really thought it was a load of hocus pocus but because he’s seen what it has done for me he completely believes in it now!

All I can say is that if it weren’t for Timea then I really don’t know where I’d be right now. If you have lost your way and really don’t know where to turn or just know that you could feel better than you do right now, then go to the Healthy Matters clinic as it will be the best decision that you’ve ever made!!

Thank you Timea

All the very best from Chantelle Wallace
