WHAT IS?

---

EIS BODY SCAN
The EIS system is a non-invasive, scientifically validated medical device. It aids in pinpointing the origin of pain, infections and disease. It produces tissue biochemistry data, including risk analysis of all body systems and imbalances.

The patient is connected to the system using 6 electrodes. The computer software displays all the results in 3D graphics. EIS results can provide quick and reliable data to the doctor at the time of the consultation.

COLONIC IRRIGATION
Helps irritable bowel syndrome, constipation and chronic diarrhoea, skin problems, headaches and much more. Or use as a general Detox. Feel rejuvenated, have more energy, see your skin improve and aids in weight loss!

Colonic Irrigation is a gentle cleansing and emptying of the bowel. This safe and effective treatment softens and removes impacted faecal matter that gets trapped in the colon polluting your body and contributing to many common health problems.

Deborah uses a closed system which means you are connected to the machine by disposable plastic tubes, the water is gently irrigated into your colon and the procedure is monitored by a pressure gauge. Deborah is with you the whole time and massages your abdomen intermittently throughout the procedure to help loosen the faecal matter which is then released into the tubes, through a cylinder and into pipes connected to the sewerage. There is no mess or smell. At the end of the treatment you sit on a toilet so any further loose matter will come away.

A series of colonics is generally recommended, together with appropriate dietary recommendations and natural herbal remedies.


HERBAL MEDICINE
Deborah has a comprehensive liquid herbal dispensary and makes up individual formulas to suit the clients’ needs. Herbal tablets/capsules and powdered preparations are also used.

Herbal medicine is the oldest form of medicine known to all cultures. It can successfully treat arthritis, asthma, skin disorders and digestive problems. It is effective in the treatment of disorders such as period pain, disordered bleeding, PMT and menopause. One of the strengths of herbal medicine is that it improves the immune system, improves adaptation to stress, fatigue and provides optimum vitality in our modern world.

Deborah is also trained in nutrition, mineral therapy and Australian Bush Flower essences.

BIO-COMPATIBILITY TESTING THROUGH HAIR ANALYSIS
There are two types of Hair Analysis tests that can be done. One is used to check which foods someone is allergic too. A small amount of hair is tested against 300 food items and household chemicals. It doesn't matter if your hair is coloured or permed. You will learn which foods to use and which foods to avoid. The source of inflammation in the body can sometimes be traced back to an allergic reaction to certain foods. This can then manifest as skin rashes, digestive disorders, arthritic pain, asthma, menstrual irregularities such as PMS and PCOS, weight gain etc.

A second test can identify high levels of heavy metals or excess/low minerals in the body. This test requires hair in its natural state.


ULTRA LITE

---

Ultra Lite is a weight management program. We offer a 3, 5 or 10 week program. You can lose up to 10kg in 5 weeks. Ultra Lite is educational, teaching you about food choices and portion sizes. You won't be hungry on Ultra Lite!

You will eat 3 meals per day, breakfast, lunch and dinner and have four Ultra Lite sachets each day. These are snacks and not a meal replacement. At weekly visits you will be monitored, weighed, measured and encouraged. This will keep you on track.


FREE RADICAL THERAPY (FRT)

---

FRT is a system based on a Health Model that addresses six sub-clinical defects. These defects are common to every degenerative disease.

• pH (Acid/Base) Imbalance
  
• Anaerobic Metabolism
  
• Free Calcium Excess
  
• Chronic Inflammation
  
• Connective Tissue Breakdown
  
• Oxidative Stress

FRT recognises that each person is biologically unique and slight alterations in treatment approach must be made for each individual. By addressing these six sub-clinical defects the cause of the disease becomes apparent rather than treating the symptoms of a lifetime.

A comprehensive set of blood tests is requested from a local laboratory, when received these results are charted according to the six sub-clinical defects. The client is then instructed on the unique dietary and supplements necessary for them to regain optimal wellness. This unique system is practised by very few Naturopaths and will take you from sickness to wellness. Learn for life how to stay well.


BOWEN THERAPEUTIC TECHNIQUE

---

The Bowen Technique is a gentle sequence of moves, done in a certain order which communicates with the brain for a realignment and balance of the body.

It can be done fully clothed and takes up to 40mins to complete. There are short waiting periods imbetween some of the moves, in order for the brain to register the sequence. Anyone can have the procedure done, from newborns, pregnant women to the frail elderly folk. It is also the only technique that can be done immediately after a car accident or injury.

Those that especially benefit from Bowen Therapy are those who have suffered aneurysm, stroke and amputation. This is because the brain is given specific messages to put the neurological pathways back prior to the aneurysm or stroke. In cases of amputation, the actual part of the brain dealing with the amputated limb is still there, and because of the imbalance in the body the brain sends messages through the body that there should be pain in the missing limb. This is where the terminology “phantom pain” comes from. But by doing the Bowen Technique on the whole body and the stump of the amputated limb, the brain accepts the change in the body and either eliminates entirely or dramatically reduces the “phantom” sensations.

It also aids in many other every day conditions. These being, whiplash, RSI, migraines, headaches, muscle pain and inflammation anywhere in the body, general feeling of tension, stress related conditions, anxiety, hip problems, sore feet, Multiple Sclerosis, Crohns Disease, and many more.
