Dr David Hefferon

It is with great pleasure that I am joining the Lotus Health Team.

I qualified initially as a traditional general dental practitioner from the Queens University of Belfast and worked in Northern Ireland for four years before moving to Dusseldorf Germany. I worked in Dusseldorf for ten years in my own Private Practice.

My time in Germany allowed me to work alongside some of the best technicians in the world, as the use of precision attachments, superior materials and high end cosmetics is routine in Germany. However the main benefit was that the German health care system allows patients to visit different complementary practitioners - “Heilpractiker” - as a main stream option. This allows practitioners to integrate their treatments and provide their patients with an optimal treatment plan.

It was in Germany that I developed my interest in the effect that the teeth have on the rest of the body, as my mind was opened to new possibilities. This passion drove me to travel extensively to attend many postgraduate courses worldwide to further my knowledge of the holistic integrated approach. Recent scientific research is linking periodontal disease with heart attacks, Diabetes and even Cancer.

After ten years in Germany I moved to London to set up The Ella Clinic in Harley Street. The Ella clinic originated as a holistic dental practice and developed into an integrated clinic with many different practitioners, doctors , cranial osteopaths, nutritionists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, Homotoxicologists, energy therapists, emotional healers etc, working together for the benefit of our patients.

To increase my treatment options I also qualified as a Homotoxicologist. Homotoxicology is about providing homoeopathically prepared complex remedies. The aim of Homotoxicology is to provide detoxification and drainage of the Extra cellular matrix (the bit that holds you together) to provide organ support during detoxification and to help your immune system to bring your body back into balance.

It is this experience which I hope to bring to and blend with the already high level of care provided at the Lotus Health clinic. My approach to a treatment plan is to combine Western scientific Knowledge with an Eastern Philosophical approach. It is not just about removing mercury fillings but getting to know each patient as a unique individual with a unique set of circumstances and recommending an appropriate course of action.

This would be discussed at the initial consultation looking at you as a patient from a 5 element theory of energy, according to Chinese philosophy and from a psychoneuro-endocrineimmunological (PNEI) perspective in scientific terms. It is not only what type of treatment that is involved but the order of treatment is also important to ensure that you as a unique individual can receive as optimum treatment as possible.
