Holistic healing
It is quite fascinating to see a drop of your blood being analysed under a microscope. In a
time when many of us are suffering from ill health and chronic stress, Ballito holistic health
specialist Teresa Vos is using naturopathic microscopy as a way of determining the root cause
of people’s health problems and finding practical solutions to get them back to health.

Millions of people suffer from
ongoing, sometimes chronic illness
that they just cannot get under
control. Very often though, simple
lifestyle and diet changes are all that
are needed to address the cause of
these problems (rather than just the
symptoms) and ultimately lead to
happier, healthier lives.
Easier said than done though, right?
Well, maybe not. A visit to Teresa’s
Topform Holistic Health clinic in
Ballito, we recently discovered,
is a great way to get a clear and
undeniable view of what is happening
inside your body. And then finding a
way to remedy it.
Teresa started her Topform Holistic
Health, Body Scan, Lifestyle and
Weight Loss Clinic more than 12
years ago and she has helped heal
and transform the lives of literally
hundreds of people since then.
From weight loss to bringing under
control serious health problems like
stress, immune challenges, insomnia,
gut issues, anxiety, post-nasal drip,
eczema and skin conditions and a
wide range of other illnesses and
ailments, Teresa says she is ultimately
driven by a passion for helping others.
With the use of her body scan, live
blood analysis and years of experience

specialised and individual solutions
for every person she meets.
“I added the live blood analysis two

see for themselves the anomalies in
their blood and to be able to confirm
possible root causes of a number of
symptoms. Some people find the
answers they have been looking for
for years and their families understand
their health journeys better as a result.”
Teresa says seeing the live blood
results also helps inspire them to take the corrective measures needed to fix the
problem.
An analysis starts before you even arrive for your appointment, when you
complete the comprehensive health assessment questionnaire (this is optional).
On the day, Teresa does an electronic body scan, which is incredibly interesting
and informative and afterwards, you have a quick and painless finger prick and
then the live blood screening. It’s exciting (and quite sobering) having your
blood analysed right in front of you. There’s no denying science after all.
Teresa explains that toxins can lead to degradation and, in turn, trigger or are
associated with chronic degenerative illnesses. “The cause of many health
problems can be attributed to prolonged exposure to various toxic agents in
