Gosia Chmielewska ND, CMA, RDHC, Dip.Hom. – our naturopath and homoeopath registered with The Complementary Medical Association www.the-cma.org.uk which is recognised by the public and Doctors alike as the elite force in professional, ethical complementary medicine, grew up in Poland where she worked as a neurology intensive care nurse. Since coming to the UK in 1996 to learn English, she has always been interested in complementary medicine and then decided to study naturopathy and homoeopathy at the prestigious College of Naturopathic Medicine in London www.naturopathy-uk.com and in India at Bengal Allen Medical Institute under wings of the World well known 6 gold medallist Dr Subrata Banarjea and also in Nepal working with Dr Krishna Dangol and Dr Bela Ram Kisi in the Homoeopathic Development & Research Centre in Kathmandu.

Now, mainly based at Essentials Pharmacy Medi-Spa, Gosia continues to utilise a number of modalities such as individualised health screen testing including food intolerance and toxicity, herbal medicine, nutrition, homoeopathy, iridology, flower remedies, tissue salts, kinesiology, hopi ear candles and reiki.

Gosia uses a combination of skills and also computer technology such as Asyra www.asyra.com , which always are tailored to individual needs.

Gosia is a member of a professional body and as such is fully insured and subject to a code of ethics and disciplinary procedure.

We have a new machine caled the Asyra.

The Asyra electro dermal screening device was developed by Mark Galloway, an experienced health practitioner and technician, with over 15 years clinical experience and 12 years teaching doctors and scientists in over 17 countries. This has allowed it to offer an unrivalled level of simplicity in use and logical design, whilst still offering very comprehensive analysis of health status.

The Asyra AT3 system is our main screening instrument and is capable of performing a wide range of energetic test including:-

• Vitamin and mineral levels
• Food Intolerances
• Hormone screening
• Trace mineral levels
• Dental imbalances
• Environmental sensitivities
• Toxin tracing
• Internal organ functional health
• The Asyra AT3 system works by simulating the energetic presence of a particular substance and monitoring the subsequent changes in the electrical characteristics of acupuncture points. From the response, which is graphically displayed on the computer, the practitioner can readily determine the individual's reaction to that substance. This is known as Electro-Dermal Screening (EDS) and is a fully tested and accepted means of health screening.

Key Features

• The Asyra was clinically tested for over 2 years before being brought to market.
• Because the Asyra was designed for a clinic it was built for results and speed.
• Because of its unique Filtering technology, the Asyra only identifies the root cause of a health problem. This saves valuable time in the clinic and correctly identifies the cause of the underlying malady.
• The Asyra is the first electro-dermal screening (EDS) system to have both its hardware and software approved by the FDA. Many other EDS systems have the hardware approved, but not the software.
• Because of the ‘filtering’ technology there is no need for a massive product database that duplicates dozens of test items.
  The Asyra’s database contains all 1,198 homeopathic singles, all the cell salts, all the Bach-Bush-and North American Flowers, Nosodes for Bacteria, Viruses, Parasites, Fungi etc. It also includes all of Dr. Reckeweg original combinations and those he created through the years.
  Using the Asyra’s unique filtering technology, it is possible, for example, to test a pathogen category such as ‘Virus’. If you fail the test all the Nosodes (exact signature), homeopathic combinations and singles (like resonance) are loaded automatically and the system allows the body to assess all three remedy categories of multiple items and select the most appropriate option. Not only does this make the Asyra faster compared with other systems, it also provides the body with a wider choice of therapeutic options at one time, enabling the system to detect the most beneficial item, rather than segmenting its choices.
• The Filtering technology was also designed to remove technician bias. Instead of selecting a favourite list of remedies, you simply test the filter list from top to bottom and let the patient’s body reveal where the cause is truly originating and what remedy would best suffice for their specific situation. Just like the blind scan Mark Galloway introduced in the 90’s (now a standard for the industry) to remove operator bias, the filters and associated technology are also designed to remove operator bias. A key feature of the Asyra electro-dermal screening device is that the patient’s body reveals it’s weaknesses and selects the most beneficial remedy, as well as identifying how many causes (Filters/affects or remedies) it has the ability to work with at a time.
• The Filter process or methodology is patent pending; which shows the first major breakthrough in EDS technology in over 25 years.
• The technology involves sending a small current through the body's electrical pathways, known as meridians. Every living thing has an electromagnetic blueprint or resonance. The Asyra has been programmed with a digital equivalent. These digital codes are sent through the body when a substance is tested for tissue response.
