Ian Ridgeway Consultant Naturopath to Urban Retreat Day spa.
Ian is a qualified Naturopath with the advantage of
a wide background and qualifications, especially in the field of horticulture, included organics, making him unique in the
naturopathic field. This experience has given Ian invaluable insights and appreciation of not only how nature works but has given me a first hand knowledge of the farming industry, the state of the food we eat (chemicals, nutritional imbalances, genetic modification etc).
He understands what really happens from the ground up (literally!). THE STATE OF THE SOIL DETERMINES THE STATE OF THE PEOPLE AND HENCE THE STATE OF THE NATION.
Ian uses wide range of non-invasive naturopathic test to gain a comprehensive picture of your state of health. He can
then provide an individual program of herbs, nutritional supplements, diet, hydrotherapy and lifestyle changes to regain & maintain your health in the best possible state.
As former secretary of ICANT (the International Christian Association of Natural Therapists, I have gained valuable understanding of the natural health industry.
Philosophy
Ian bases my practice on the understanding that every person is unique & of immense value as special creation.
He bases his treatment on the principle that all sickness, or lack of vitality is due to insufficient nutrition from wrong dietary choices, deficient food and greatly increased demand from our modern life & polluted environment. This malnutrition is the result of braking natural law (usually
ignorantly) by both the consumer & the farmer.
His passion is to help people not just to feel better, but to guide them
into as perfect health as it is possible for them.

• FIR is in the rays from the sun that penetrate deep into the tissues and cells heating uniformly at all levels, unlike other infra red rays.
• FIR rays are the safest and most beneficial rays from the sun.
Benefits of Far Infra Red rays:-

• Reduces soreness

Negative Ions are greater near waterfalls and water spray, near thunderstorms and are abundant in nature but positive Ions are most prevalent in cities, polluted areas and closed rooms.
Benefits of Negative ions:-

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A FULL
CONSULTATION.
With your involvement I can interpret signs and symptoms, and perform tests to discover the state of the body. I am then able to find the causes and recommend a treatment that will not just alleviate the symptoms.
WHAT TESTS DO I USE?
Tongue & Nail analysis
Iris analysis
The iris has 20,000 nerve endings, which relate to every part of the body. Your body has been designed with an in-built condition monitor! Iris analysis enables me to find inherited weakness and those created in your lifetime, even if symptoms are not yet evident.
Urine analysis
What the kidneys are eliminating tell much about how the body is operating. Think of what you could discover about a household if you analyzed the wastewater. A key factor is urine pH (acid or alkaline state), which is an indicator of the pH of body tissues. This factor affects the ability of the body to absorb nutrients from your food or supplements.
Live Blood Analysis
A drop of blood from a simple prick of the finger is immediately examined under a microscope to check for blood cell function, detect parasites, liver stress, etc. Red blood cells live about 120 days giving a long-term picture of deficiencies etc.
Dried blood analysis
Originally developed by Dr. Bolden as a cancer marker to monitor the effectiveness of his treatments and the patient's ability to cope with them. The FDA
has approved it as a cancer marker. The technique was taken up, developed and taught by Dr Bradford (HLB) and US Biologics (Clot retraction test - CRT) as a powerful and accurate indicator of body malfunction. I have learned a combination of both schools as well as the results of independent research. The technique depends on the clotting of a drop of blood and gives a history of inflammation, chemicals, toxins, deficiencies, as well as system and organ function from 20 yrs ago up to the present day.
WHAT TREATMENTS DO I PRESCRIBE?
Nutritional supplements and herbal medicines - discussed above.
Dietary and lifestyle changes -We can do much to help ourselves by adopting alternative ways of doing things in our life so as to obey natural laws. I am here to guide you in the process.
Simple things you can do at home. There are simple things you can do at home to help yourself I may suggest some these as part of the treatment.
WHY NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE?
The estimated approximate annual cost of poor nutrition in Australia is $6 billion. This does not necessary mean poor diet, although the great majority of Australians are on an incorrect diet. Absorption of nutrients is very often poor due to the effects of chemicals in food and the environment; stress; unrecognized infections; and imbalances in the intestinal tract.
Extra nutrients are used to render toxic material harmless, remove it from the body, and repair the damage done.
Nutrition and lifestyle plays a role in many, some professionals claim all, disease. The Big Three most common causes of death in Australia: heart disease, cancer and stroke, account for 63% of all deaths, and are preventable.
Why Supplements
You can avoid many of the following nutrient-robbing factors, but not all.
Alcohol, Smoking, Junk food, Antibiotics, Deficient / unbalanced soils, Chemical farming techniques, Stresses, Oral contraceptives, What we do with food - Storage, overcooking, freezing, defrosting, and re-heating, Food additives
WHAT ARE VITAMINS AND MINERALS FOR?
Vitamins are essential substances that the body needs to perform biochemical reactions. Such reactions include energy production and reactions that enable your brain to function.
Minerals enable vitamins to function and are essential for enzyme reactions. Other functions include electrolyte and water balance, structure, hormone action and the detoxification.
WHY HERBAL MEDICINE?
Herbal medicine uses whole plant parts, rather then the extracted components. Herbs are prescribed as teas, extracts, tinctures, glycetracts, and powders, which are taken internally, or in ointments, and lotions, which are used externally. Many modern drug medicines are based on plant components.
What is the difference?
Modern medicine has extracted the active chemical and used it in its pure refined form. Latter on biochemists have copied (or nearly so) the chemical. These are the drugs used in modern medicine, and require very precise doses and often have adverse side effects. Herbal medicine recognizes the existence of other components that are essential for absorption, utilization and excretion. The whole herb may be safe, but an isolated component can be dangerous or have adverse side effects. The components are designed to act as a whole.
Synergism - The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The constituents have an effect that is unique to that exact combination. Enhancing and moderating each other. Unidentified constituents may also be present. Different herbs also combine synergistically in a formula.
WORKING WITH THE BODY.
The aim of all natural medicine is to provide the necessary environment for the body to regenerate and come back to a condition hostile to disease. Hence, all truly natural therapies aim to correct the core problems that underlie the symptoms.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE
How long did it take the body to get into its present state? Chronic disease requires chronic treatment. Acute conditions may be relieved in weeks or days; chronic conditions may take months, or even years. When a downward trend in health occurs, the trend has to be slowed, stopped, and then reversed. This may take a while, and will depend on the individual constitution, lifestyle, and compliance with the treatment program. However, relief of symptoms can often be achieved quite promptly using natural therapies. This can make life much more bearable, but unless we address lifestyle, diet, nutrition, and factors in your environment, the degeneration of health will continue.
