A Consultation with Han van de Braak

A Consultation with Han van de Braak

You can arrange for a consultation with Han van de Braak via this page. Although I am now retired from full-time clinic, I often am available for consultations. I no longer provide the Biological Terrain Analysis, Live Blood Microscopy (medically responsible version thereof), Functional Acuity Contrast Test or outside-the-scope-of-the-NHS laboratory tests at a London lab. The current format is simple: below are standard questions that are asked during a medical interview and, prior to your consultation, these questions must be answered. You can do that via email to han at aloeride dot com. Also, because this has been immensely helpful in clinic, you are asked to write a medical timeline (example below). Sequencing your events, symptoms, interventions, medications and/or remedies and your responses to these, builds a better clinical picture than a medical interview only.

By booking a consultation with Han van de Braak you get to speak to a retired Chartered Physiotherapist, Registered Acupuncturist and Naturopath who has a keen interest in the biochemistry of nutrition and whose clinic has specialised in finding solutions to or better ways of managing clinical problems that did not respond fully or well to a conventional approach. My education plus forty clinic years prepares me reasonably well but, timely receiving the below information, enables me to check research papers that may further the chance of helping your problem. In some cases, research time may be billable time which would be at my discretion and would be declared to you in advance.

Medical Timeline

A medical timeline, written down or put in an excel sheet shown here, should provide information about 1) rough dates of problem/event, 2) minute description of such problems/events, 3) medical or otherwise interventions, 4) your response to them. I am not asking for War and Peace or highly detailed information (this we get from the above) or something particularly pretty, but it is the sequence we are after. It is not uncommon for issues ‘upstream’ (in time) to cause problems ‘downstream’… Cause and effect and sometimes it is there and sometimes it is not. You would be surprised for how many patients this was an illuminating exercise where all of a sudden the penny dropped.

Documentation

If you have relevant letters from your GP or from Medical Consultants, or laboratory results, or scans results, or X-Ray reports… then please provide such. Thank you!

Qualifications

Below are some of my professional qualifications. Physiotherapy (HOL) BSc degree 1981 that included post-graduate Osteopathy-type joint manipulations, Physiotherapy (GBR) registration 1985, Acupuncture (GBR) qualification 1987, Biological Terrain Analysis (GER) 1997 and 1998, Homotoxicology 2002 (Complex Homeopathy). I have lectured on Nutrition (picture above), written and taught courses in Biological Terrain Analysis and Live Blood Microscopy, and written articles for the Complementary Alternative Medicine magazine. Although I had no formal education in Psychology or Coaching, helping to overcome mental-emotional issues also became a minor part of my clinic. I met Dr. Ivan Danhof PhD MD on two American Academy of Anti Aging Medicine conferences (USA) I attended and, between the two of us, that is how Aloeride came about.
