There are real reasons for poor diagnosis, medically, of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia. Think about what happens in chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia – medically there is often nothing outstanding in the blood tests, slight variations in iron levels, liver function, but nothing conclusive. There may be a little rise in inflammatory signs, and yet medically this will be blamed on ‘fighting a bug’, ‘pain’ or ‘being tired.’
Anything that slows down metabolism, makes the blood supply sluggish, upsets the liver and digestive tract can be involved in chronic fatigue. Isn’t it time to start dealing with the reasons, one by one, and get your life back on track??
Here are various reasons for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia and what tests we do to confirm/deny this is a problem for you.
- the body is too acidic (urine test)
- the body is inflamed (live blood analysis and cellular analysis/VLA)
- heavy metal toxicity (urine test)
- candida (blood)
- celiac (blood)
- helicobacter (blood)
- insulin resistance (blood)
- low HDL cholesterol levels (blood)
- fungal and mould spore infestations (blood & kinesiology)
- allergies/intolerances (live blood analysis & kinesiology)
- general toxicity (live blood analysis & cellular analysis/VLA)
- tooth toxins/amalgams
- scar tissue toxins
- environmental allergens & intolerances (kinesiology)
- endocrine issues – thyroid, adrenals, sex hormones (kinesiology)
- adrenal stress (kinesiology/blood)
- emotional stress/post traumatic stress syndrome
- poor immune system (live blood analysis)
- geopathic stress
- electromagnetic stress (kinesiology)
- viral and bacterial load (live blood analysis & urine test)
- parasites (live blood analysis)
- digestive issues and leaky gut syndrome (live blood analysis)
- poor diet
- smoking, drugs and alcohol
You can see why the one-reason-fits-all ’cause’ that they’re looking for medically doesn’t work. In all of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia clients we see, there has been a combination of causes that we find through our various testing processes.
Our naturopaths, Jacqueline Dekoke ND, Linda Hoggard ND & myself, all have experience in dealing with these causes, can recommend treatments to help speed up the healing processes and will recommend lifestyle changes that ultimately will save your cells!

Worried about vaccinations? Most people cope well, without side-effects and have no long-lasting effects. As a naturopath, I’ve been treating immunity, pre-vaccination care and vaccination side-effects for 15 years. Vaccinations are a tricky topic, very emotive and can be a huge struggle for parents to feel like they’re making the right decision.
Vaccination Benefits: If someone doesn’t take care of their health, then vaccination is perhaps the best option for them, but it’s people with poor immunity and poor health who are most likely to get the side-effects. Vaccinations have been around for over 200 years and have without a doubt saved many thousands and thousand of lives over the years. The theory is that people get close-to-immediate immunity for the specific ‘germ’ they are being treated for.
Most common side-effects of vaccinations: the usual suspects are fevers and vomiting. Medically speaking, a vaccination side-effect must be reported within 24-48 hours, and the attending physician must ‘agree’ that it’s a side-effect or it doesn’t get reported. This is how the AMA gets around the possibility of other problems being connected to vaccines. It is interesting that problems such as Aspergers & Autism have been linked with vaccinations for 20 years or more, and yet they still claim that there’s no connection. Consider this: vaccinations by-pass the immune system, by being injected directly into the bloodstream, including all of the delightful vaccination-extras such as mercury, aluminium and formaldehydes. As preservatives, they are fantastic, and they can last in our bodies for many year.
With 15 years experience, we suspect that vaccinations are linked with many health issues such as:
- increasing asthma levels
- auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and hashimotos
- increasing allergies (1 in 4 in Australia)
- increasing levels of autism and aspergers
- poor behaviour, ADD, ADHD and ODD in children
- poor immunity – constant colds and flus – after all we can’t vaccinate for everything!!!
- chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia (heavy metals are linked with both)
What can we do to remove vaccination toxins, boost natural immunity and help the brain?
- frequency specific microcurrent and specific nutrition to remove vaccination toxins
- LEAP, NOT and other specialised kinesiology techniques to reconnect the brain
- infrared saunas to boost toxin removal and detoxification from the body
- using natural therapies, nutritional supplements, micrrocurrent techniques to increase immunity
- testing processes such as live blood analysis, heavy metal toxicity, urine tests, cellular analysis to find the extent of the toxicity and the oxidative stress, and see improvement as it is being removed.
For more information:
- I highly recommend any parents/interested parties to go the the Australian Vaccination Network for more information: www.avn.org.au
- Book in for an appointment with one of our naturopaths: Jacqueline Dekoke ND, Linda Hoggard ND & myself: we all have extensive experience in coping with either option you choose – being vaccinated or choosing not to.

Is your life, or the life of a loved one, hampered by chronic auto-immune conditions?
At New Leaf Natural Therapies we have had great success with auto-immune diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. Hope truly is out there if you have these, or other auto-immune disorders such as fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, hashimotos & Graves Disease and much more. Our practitioners and team have a combined 60 years experience within the natural therapies industry, and plenty of experience with auto-immune diseases.
Interestingly, the experience our practitioners and I have had as newer, stronger and more effective supplementation is much available, has been even better. We utilise detoxification products (auto-immune conditions are heavily linked with heavy metal toxicity) and products which increase the production of stem cells, products which balance the immune system (as auto-immunity is like having an ADHD immune system – overworking to attack specific cells in the body).
We provide the following tests for people with chronic auto-immune disease:
- live blood analysis: looking at immunity, anti-oxidant levels, invisible toxicity, sluggish or overactive immunity, essential fatty acid levels and more;
- acidity levels – the more acidic the body is the more risk of chronic disease, the more minerals are ‘pulled’ from the bones, nerves, muscles and brain;
- reasons for auto-immunity – gut issues such as leaky gut, helicobacter, candida, celiac disease, insulin resistance. All of these conditions increase inflammation and toxicity levels in the gut, and the gut is home to over 70% of the immune system;
- BMI, fat mass & muscle mass readings with Cellular Analysis: if the BMI (body mass index) is over 30 then inflammation continues unabated in the body regardless of the amount of anti-inflammatories (natural or drug) are being taken, so working on the BMI is imperative.
So the treatment involves working on inflammation and acidity, the immune system, weight issues, toxicity levels, gut and liver health. Wow, can it be done??? It sure can, ask about our payment plans for saving you money on our programmes today!

Frequency Specific Microcurrent, as used by therapists Madonna Guy ND & Jacqueline Dekoke ND, is a technology which utilises specific frequencies to target particular areas of the body. It can be used to break down calcification of joints, inflammation of scar tissue and also heal areas which are weakened: weak tendons & ligaments; discs in the spine; fractured bones etc.
You may have heard of TENS machines, as used by physios – these target muscles, making them relax & contract. The Frequency Specific Microcurrent equipment has the ability to to target a hundred different body parts… There are processes for new injuries, old injuries, removal of toxins and anesthetics, removal of chemotherapy and radiation toxins after cancer therapy (even years later these toxins lurk in the tissues of the body), they stay in the system and degenerate joints and bones, creating many health issues.
When New Leaf Natural Therapies runs an FSM treatment on a client, say for pain relief, our preference is to use 2 machines simultaneously. This way we can use an automated programme on one machine for a particular pain protocol, and target specific areas on the body on the 2nd machine, thereby doubling the benefits and fewer treatments are necessary to heal the area. It is said that an hour on the FSM equipment is equivalent to about 5 hours of massage therapy.
Getting the most out of an FSM treatment: the body should be hydrated. Clients should drink plenty of water before, during and after a treatment. Lots of acids are released from the body throughout a session of FSM. We also recommend natural anti-inflammatory supplements throughout the process so that the body heals faster and treatments are longer lasting.
This treatment can be used for any pain relief: fibromyalgia; chronic spinal pain, disc pain, muscular aches and pains; frozen shoulder; new injuries or old. Give us a call and see if we can help you!

You can have Pain Relief without drugs at New Leaf Natural Therapies. Our lovely clinic in Wynnum provides a range of services: if you live elsewhere here are some ideas for you to look for when finding a clinic to take care of your pain – you too, can have pain relief without drugs, pain relief without medication!
Find the reasons for your pain and FIX THEM! What? There are reasons for my pain? Find a clinic that can do some scientific testing/treatments in order to achieve the following outcomes…
- How acidic are you? Knowing this number (both saliva and urinary) and working towards the optimal ph (7.2-7.35) will halt the destruction of joints, bones and organs. Acidity creates an environment where just about every health problem can be created. Jacqueline Dekoke ND recently had a client with massive health issues and got his acidity from 5.5 to 7.4 within 4 weeks. Then the healing can begin!
- How much excess fluid is your body holding? Our VLA or Bio-impedance analysis machine let’s us know EXACTLY how much fluid is inside the cells and how much fluid is on the outside. This also let’s us know how much excess fluid your body is holding. WHY? Because the body is clever, and it’s trying to dilute toxins, acidity and inflammation. We find that this process takes some time: we have trillions of cells in our body and to detoxify each one, takes a lot of time!
- Massage therapies: Find yourself a fabulous massage therapist, like Ms Katherine Lynn or Ms Cherice Day, someone who can put together a treatment plan for you. If your massage therapist has a plan – then work with them and trust them. If it doesn’t feel like they’re helping you with your pain relief, then find someone else. For example, with Alison’s combination of reflexology, remedial massage, shiatsu, lymphatic drainage and acupuncture, she’s a perfect choice – find a passionate massage therapist who’ll get your pain issues under control.
- How inflamed are you? We use several testing processes to find out how inflamed you are: Live Blood Analysis (signs such as fibrin, rouleaux, blood stickiness, protoplasts, red crystals…); bio-impedance analysis (let’s us know how leaky and stressed your cells are). Once you know how inflamed your body is you can use natural anti-inflammatories with NO SIDE EFFECTS such as kinex AI, kaprex and inflavonoid intensive care. We also use Frequency Specific Microcurrent for reducing inflammation and regeneration of joints, ligaments and tendons.
It’s time to find your own natural therapies clinic that can do that for you!

Key highlights of November’s Pain Seminar at New Leaf Natural Therapies were interesting… Attendees were from different walks of life, with varying levels of pain and inflammatory conditions: gut pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, exhaustion, rheumatoid arthritis, menstrual pain, insomnia, depression…
When you put it all together pain, regardless of the type, comes from the same causes which were discussed:
- chronic nutritional deficiences such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and B vitamins
- inflammation
- acidity
- toxicity
- structural imbalances and
- stress… leading to the fight and flight response
Our tests can measure these problems and then our naturopathic processes can start to reverse these problems in the body.
