Gilian Crowther MA (Oxon), FBANT, mNNA, mANP is a registered Nutritional Therapist and Naturopath. As Director of Research for the Academy of Nutritional Medicine (AONM, www.aonm.org), she is responsible for clinician training on the range of tests they offer. These include the ArminLabs tests for bacterial and viral infections. These tests – performed in Germany at the laboratory of Dr. Armin Schwarzbach, who has specialised in tick-borne infections for close to three decades – are particularly sensitive, extending beyond the serology routinely offered for tests of this kind. Gilian is also a core member of the BSEM (British Society for Ecological Medicine) as well as the Klinghardt Institute, and sees patients in her own clinic.
