Kinesiology to improve diet for underactive thyroid - anyone tried it?

[Utka]

My osteopath has recommended that I visit a nutritionist who offers kinesiology, to see what he advises me to do about my diet. I eat well but have an underactive thyroid, so find losing weight really hard.

I went to one by mistake a few years back (they'd advertised as a homeopath), in an effort to treat my daughter's eczema and am now a bit sceptical.

I am reasonably open to the benefits of complementary medicine but was put off because the person concerned gave me no explanation of what was being done to my daughter, and the test results merely confirmed back the 'history' she'd just taken from me (i.e. I said she was allergic to x, y and z, and what a surprise, the results confirmed this!)

Does anyone have experience of this?

I do know of people who have seriously been helped by kinesiology - I think the key is to find a good one I guess. I'm sorry that's not much help is it?
Go by recommendation if you can. Kinesiology will show how your body reacts to certain foods.

i've studied kinesiology and its a vast subject, imo. i dont understand it enough to know if it will help with diet although as pupace says, it can indicate things that your body may react badly to.

a nutritionist would be a good place to start for diet recommendations and if they have any other training, thats always a bonus. does the osteo know one to recommend?

i actually practise reflexology and thats another good way to go as it can help to balance the body and sometimes kickstart things that have become sluggish or overactive.

utka, given the tone of your post, you may prefer to see a complementary therapist who's also a qualified gp, i saw a homeopath who was also a doctor and had lots of confidence in her even though I am to say the least sceptical. you can get things like homeopathy on the nhs, though not many people know about it and gp's might be reluctant to try.
