Sadly, meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia continue to kill more children under five than any other infectious disease and there is still no vaccine to protect against the most common forms. Therefore, it is vital to raise awareness of the symptoms and the importance of early recognition so prompt treatment can be given, which can often mean the difference between life and death.

Meningitis UK aims to increase the understanding of the disease through our ongoing awareness programme. We also fund a number of pioneering vaccine development research projects across the UK to find a vaccine to eradicate the disease. If you require any further information about meningitis or the work that we do, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Meningitis UK is the working name of Spencer Dayman Meningitis UK, registered charity no. 1076774

We are a practice based in Bath specialising in a combination of Clinical Homeopathy and Bio-Electric Functions Diagnostics. This exciting method of diagnosis and treatment has been described as the system of the 21st century.

 

Without the use of needles, we use acupuncture points on hands and feet to measure the health of all internal systems. This is a pain-free diagnosis. What is more remarkable is that the most effective remedy can be tested without further aggravating the body. This method also allows me to test for over 700 known allergens. Using a combination of homeopathy and bio-electric functional diagnosis many childhood conditions can be treated such as asthma, acne, eczema, glandular fever, the after effects of vaccinations, autism, behavioural issues etc.

Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to book a consultation.

Pure Living Collection is an online store that sells a fabulous range of luxurious duvets, pillows, mattress protectors and associated bedding products. This website offers invaluable advice on the most appropriate bedding available for children.

Children just love the feel of the soft light-weight, hypoallergenic Spundown Duvets. Mums love them too, for this is the award winning duvet that just loves to be washed, time and time again. For summer the 3.0 tog Pure Cotton Duvet is a popular choice of children’s duvet as it will help your child maintain a regular temperature on warm summer nights.

The polyester hollow-fibre filling of the Anti Allergy Duvets and Pillows contain material in which house dust mites cannot live, thus playing a major role in helping to relieve allergies caused by them. Alternatively, the Anti Allergy Duvet, Pillow and Mattress Protectors all provide an effective barrier between your child and the dust mites and their allergens.

Pure Living Collection also offers some pillows with slightly less filling and therefore perfect for smaller shoulders, whilst waterproof mattress protectors offer their mattresses protection against those all too common accidents and spills.
