TOP TIPS TO AVOID HAYFEVER THIS SPRING AND SUMMER
* Zinc is the most powerful immune strengthening mineral. It helps you be less sensitive to irritation. For it to be most effective you need to start dosing up 6 weeks before you usual onset of symptoms. 75% of Australian adults are zinc deficient. What is your zinc level like? We can quickly test and find out then work out your ideal dose determined by your weight. The time of the day it's taken is vital to ensure proper absorption.
* Vitamin A tones your mucous membranes so they don't react as strongly to airborne irritants.
* Vitamin C also strengthens your immune response. Your optimal dose is again determined by your weight.
* We have tried and true anti viral herbs to arm and activate your immune system and reduce allergy symptoms, less nose blowing and itchy eyes.
* We also find homeopathic combinations very effective. Some are in a convenient spray form to carry with you.
* We can also desensitize you to grasses, pollens, foods, moulds and animals so you can tolerate
them better.

INFANTS AND CHILDREN'S HEALTH
Are you afraid your child is slipping behind the rest of the class?
ASTHMA, ECZEMA, POOR IMMUNITY, BED-WETTING, ANXIETY, ANGER, POOR CONCENTRATION, SLEEP PROBLEMS
Babies and children are very resilient and respond quickly to natural treatments. Quite often food intolerances, gut permeability, antibiotic use and excess refined food containing high levels of sugar, salt, preservatives, colours and flavours contribute to poor health. We make it easy to decide on food choices and provide medicine to help rebalance and regain good health. Medicine can include proper strength probiotics, fish oil, vitamins and minerals and herbs depending on the case.
AUTISM SPECTRUM, ADD, ADHD, LEARNING DELAY
It can be very daunting for parents when seeking help for suspected or diagnosed imbalances. The good thing is we can help you work your way through the maze of treatment options. Diet and gut dysfunction are implicated in up to 60% of these disorders. Once we make the dietary changes your child's health, learning, behaviour and sleep improves.
We start by removing gluten and casein as research has shown 63% of children improve with that alone. These and other foods, preservatives, pesticides and heavy metals can cause leaky gut. This prevents efficient digestion, causes discomfort, candida overgrowth, pain and lack of nourishment to the brain. Parents find their child is happier once foods causing reactions are replaced with foods that heal.
In the meantime we add in appropriate supplements and fish oils to assist your child's imbalances. The other part of treatment is checking for heavy metals, kryptopyroles, zinc and copper balance and gut function. Once we have the results of these tests we can add in further treatments.
TESTIMONIAL
"My 10 year old son has a diagnosis of Aspergers' Syndrome. Over the last 6 years I have tried various interventions with minimal success. However, this changed when I started using Natural Therapies. Over the last 12 months, my son's explosive outbursts have reduced considerably, he is sleeping better, his diet is gradually improving and he is able to tolerate larger meals. He is participating more fully at school and improving academically. As a result his confidence and self esteem have also improved. The future looks a lot more positive. Finally, I feel like I'm on the right track." Sue H. Curtin, ACT.
TESTING BENEFITS
RBTI: Urine and Saliva
Initial test comes with printed report. This amazing test gives us clear insights into your body chemistry so we know the background of any health problems, as well as prevent any you may not be aware of yet. It is the perfect way to see if you are following family disease tendencies. Simple treatments help the body heal and look after you so you don’t waste money on supplements you may not need. We clearly see whether you are breaking down your food properly, absorbing it, clearing waste or storing it, whether your liver is coping or not. It also shows if a part of your body is under pressure, like the heart, thyroid, gut and reproductive area.
INDICANS: Leaky Gut
A urine test that checks leaky gut and bowel toxicity Are you recycling your own garbage? Starting to react to food that used to be okay? Stress, antibiotics, candida and tummy bugs can all weaken the gut lining. We can start healing it and track your progress to health. You’ll have better energy because you’ll be absorbing vitamins more efficiently, reducing inflammation and clearing waste. How is your gut coping with daily life?
ZINC TEST:
A quick taste test determines your reserves of this vital nutrient. Up to 70% of Australians are zinc deficient and can benefit from supplementation. Clues are low immunity, poor wound healing, not coping with constant stress, infertility, frequent colds and flu, insomnia, anxiety and depression including post natal depression and skin health. As you can see, adequate zinc levels are vital for optimal health.
pH:
Urine test. Unhealthy / healthy? Too acid or too alkaline? Easy changes to food and diet can bring it back to healthy range.
VLA: Body Health Test:
Your practitioner uses this scientifically validated test to design a program specifically for your needs. Dietary advice, exercise recommendations and any necessary nutritional supplements, teas or herbal medicines will be prescribed. A report is printed for each test.
This Test checks:
1. Cell membrane resilience which determines whether you’re eating enough protein and good fats to keep you strong and resistant to disease, absorbing nutrients and clearing waste.
2. Fluid balance shows whether your cells (you) are properly hydrated like a grape or dried up like a sultana! You could be drinking a lot but it’s not getting to where it needs to be. We can also see if you have fluid retention holding toxic waste that hinders weight loss and energy.
3. Muscle mass. Do you have the right amount for your age? Without enough muscle you don’t burn fat efficiently. We start to lose muscle in our forties, so maintaining the muscle for healthy aging and life extension is vital. We can see whether the exercise you are doing is actually keeping you healthy.
4. Fat mass. Your percentage determines the style of eating and exercise that will work best for you. Whether you need to reduce fat or gain it we can track it accurately.
5. Estimated Cell Age is best when it’s close to your actual age. This is worth knowing to track improvements.
6. Your accurate BMI makes sure that you are in the healthy weight range for your body type.
HEMAVIEW: Live Blood Analysis:
This is an exciting way to view your inner health. We take a drop of your blood and watch it live on screen. Revealed is the story of your blood that gives us insights into the triggers and causes of many health concerns. These include sluggish or overactive immune cells, which means we can see your system gearing up to fight allergies, bacteria and viruses before you notice symptoms. We look at your red cell structure for nutritional deficiencies, damage and at other signs for inflammation, liver stress and leaky gut.
These are the keys to treatment choices that will revitalize and rejuvenate your health. Then we can watch your progress not only with improved symptoms but changes in the blood. This test can be included in your follow up consultation.
HEAVY METAL TESTS:
A simple urine test can broadly determine current excretion levels of common heavy metals like Mercury, Lead, Cadmium as well as excess Copper. Depending on the results we may decide to look at the more detailed Hair Mineral Analysis.
Hair Mineral Analysis shows whether heavy metals are blocking your return to optimal health. Mercury can inhibit absorption of Zinc, perpetuate candida, poor immunity, headaches, pain, increase risk of miscarriage, and many more unpleasant symptoms. Our specialist lab analyses a sample of your hair to reveal current excretion levels.
BIO-ENERGETIC TESTING: Like computerised VEGA testing
Bioenergetic testing and medicine. Fed up with treatments that don’t work? This testing reveals secrets to optimal health by scanning you and finding where the underlying problems are that we need to focus on. It is the latest computerised electrodermal screening device available. It painlessly scans you for imbalances in body energy frequencies then formulates your tailor-made homeopathic mixture. Adding this to your treatment plan can be the last piece in the jigsaw puzzle to return you to optimal health.
If you are interested in any of these tests please ask about our Corrective Care and Wellness Care options.
LAB TESTS:
For liver detoxification ability, gut function, hormone balance and food intolerances are ordered if required.
