Allergy Testing for Kids… Wynnum, Brisbane

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Did you know that there’s a safe and easy way to have your child checked for allergic tendencies AND that there are things we can do to help live a healthier lifestyle?  Allergies can cause so many health issues which scare the hell out of parents and caregivers:  eczema and dermatitis, anaphylactic shock, swollen throats and lymphatic nodes, constant colds and flus… not to mention issues such as autism, aspergers, ADD, ADHD, asthma, which are on the rise, and very definitely linked to the messages we are sending our bodies via our foods…

No wonder we give our kids drugs to get the symptoms under control when our gut tells us it’s not doing them any favours.

There IS stuff we can do to help our kids allergies, intolerances and sensitivities:

  • we use live blood analysis to find out many things including how useful the immune system is, how the liver is functioning, if the bloodstream is cleansing properly, nutritional levels of iron, b12, zinc and oxygen…
  • we use kinesiology balancing techniques to pick up the body’s energy and help it heal, especially in relation to specific allergies and intolerances
  • we use frequency specific microcurrent and infrared saunas to help pull toxins from the body so that it can function more effectively.

Talk to us today about the options for allergies for your children.

Remedial Massage in Wynnum, Brisbane. Benefits of Regular Remedial Massage

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Current Bonus:  30% off your initial massage with both Katherine & Nathan – mention this website!!  Our beautiful natural therapies clinic in Wynnum, Brisbane, has a fantastic remedial massage team: the key practitioners being Ms Katherine Lynn & Mr Nathan Leach.  Other therapists with additional skills in naturopathy, kinesiology, frequency specific microcurrent and testing procedures such as live blood analysis and cellular analysis include Madonna Guy ND, Jacqueline Dekoke ND & Linda Hoggard ND.  We also have Reiki sessions available with Gabby Graham.

Remedial Massage is very different today than it was 30 years ago.  Today is becoming more and more recognised as a way of repairing muscles and tendons:  these can be damaged through many problems in daily life – the product of overuse, trauma or bad posture.

Remedial massage involves a number of applied techniques involving deep pressure, trigger points released and longitudinal strokes on shortened and tight muscles to allow proper function and restore muscle strength.

Remedial Massage Technique: It uses several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and to support and speed up the body’s own repair mechanisms. The massage is applied directly to the skin using a lubricating medium, usually oil, which ensures that the muscles associated with the disorder and mobilisation of the joint are deeply penetrated. Passive stretching moves are also used.

Benefits of Remedial Massage

Key benefits of Remedial Massage include: the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed; the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility. An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues, and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through therapeutic relaxation.

Muscular and skeletal dysfunctions often addressed with Remedial Massage include Fibrositis, Spondylitis, Arthritis, frozen shoulder, muscular cramps, Whiplash, muscular atrophy, sports and dancing injuries.

What causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) & Fibromyalgia? Reasons for poor diagnosis in medical circles…

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

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!

Vaccination: Pros & Cons from a naturopathic perspective, Madonna Guy, Naturopath, Wynnum Brisbane

Monday, April 26th, 2010

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:

  1. I highly recommend any parents/interested parties to go the the Australian Vaccination Network for more information:  www.avn.org.au
  2. 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.

Feeling Tired All The Time: 1st sign of chronic disease!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Feeling tired all the time? Exhausted?  Burnt out? Did you know that it’s not just a symptom – it’s a sign that some crucial bodily functions aren’t working properly!  Medical tests just don’t find anything MOST of the time, but if you’re sick of feeling zonked, then read on!!

How long since you woke up feeling energised??  Have you been feeling  tired all the time? Exhausted from the moment you get up, unless you use stimulants – sugar, coffee & tea, cigarettes, stress…  Needing these stimulants is a sign that your cells aren’t functioning properly.  Medically, nothing can be done until a disease is present, but trust me, you DON’T want to wait until you’re a medical mess.

Here’s a 7 part process to more energy!  Talk to us today and get your journey started!

  1. Have a cellular analysis (VLA) and find out how much energy your cells are giving you.  Your Active Tissue Mass (muscle) is what feeds your energy cycle.  With low quality muscle mass and low amounts of muscle mass, your cells ARE NOT GIVING YOU ENERGY!  Work on improving your muscle mass!
  2. Have a look at your cells with Live Blood Analysis: there are 2 types of anaemia we see regularly – Iron deficiency and B12/folate deficiency.  We regularly find both types of anaemia in Live Blood Analysis with Chronically Tired People.
  3. How acidic are you? We do urine tests which let us know if you are acidic – if your body has a ph (acidity) of 6.5 or lower (more acidic) than the body is working harder than it needs to:  it has a harder time hydrating your cells, detoxifying your cells, removing inflammation, killing bacteria, viruses, helicobacter, parasites and more.
  4. Remove inflammation: With live blood analysis and cellular analysis we know how inflamed you are, this gives us a starting point.  We use infrared saunas, natural  supplements, massage therapies, frequency specific microcurrent, structural kinesiology to reduce inflammation.
  5. huge doses of fish oils that are heavy metal free.  Now, this sounds easier than it is, since nearly every supplement claims to be free of toxins.  However, did you know the government rules on toxicity are a joke?  We only recommend Metagenics fish oils and 100% of their range is completely non-toxic, whereas most ranges are very dodgy.  You then need a therapeutic dose of the fish oils to reduce inflammation and allow the cells to function a little better!
  6. Removing anesthetics: even dental work can impact on energy levels, having moles removed, veins stripped.  Tiny amounts of anesthetics can attach to nerve membranes and stop them from being functional, hindering the nerve conduction in the body.  We use B12 (at least 2000mg daily); infrared saunas and frequency specific microcurrent to pull anesthetics out of your body.
  7. Detoxify!  Our Foundations of Health Programme is a 9 month programme which works through the body’s filters 1 by 1 and cleanses them.  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is linked to all of the filters being clogged, hindering nerve and cellular conduction.  We work through balancing the ph (acidity) as well as cleansing the gut (candida, parasites, helicobacter, fungus, leaky gut, allergens); the liver; the immune system and the kidneys.

So don’t despair, if you’re feeling really tired, you need to start at the beginning and treat the symptoms initially, and then cleanse, cleanse, cleanse!  Slowly but surely, you’ll get better and better.  Start your journey today – call Gabby or Helen on 3348 6098!

Fixing Arthritis with Naturopathy & Frequency Specific Microcurrent: Wynnum, Brisbane!

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Have you been worried about your arthritis or the drugs you need to take to reduce your pain?  We can help, right here in our beautiful professional clinic in Wynnum, Brisbane!  With our Chronic Pain Programme you can use simple naturopathic treatments such as natural pain products and Frequency Specific Microcurrent to get you on your way!

Normal medical tests often miss out on some basic information that can really create an environment in your body where arthritis will just continue. Our naturopathic tests such as live blood analysis, our urine and blood tests and our cellular analysis (VLA) give loads of information that we can then work on with you to improve!

  1. how acidic are you???  We often see people 200 x more acidic then they should be, that means the minerals (calcium & magnesium) are being pulled from your bones, making them more brittle;
  2. how hydrated are you?  The less hydrated the more acidic and inflamed your body is – see point 1!!
  3. where is your BMI?  If your body mass index is over 30 (20% higher than perfect weight), the body is an inflammatory, stress creating, insulin resistant machine.  That means that you’ll be more inflamed and acidic…

Are you seeing a pattern here?  Therefore we work on, you guessed it, inflammation and acidity!!!  Our frequency specific microcurrent machine helps to target specific areas of the body and reduces inflammation such as joints, tendons, bursa, joints, vertabra etc.

Talk to us today, and fix your arthritis!  In our Chronic Pain Programme (payment plan) you also get other benefits such as:

  • 1/2 price massage therapies with Katheine Lynn & Cherice Day (until we are fully booked)
  • 1/2 price kinesiology sessions
  • 1/2 price infrared saunas
  • 1/2 price allergy testing and treatments with Jacqueline Dekoke and lots more!!!

Stem Enhance & Natural Cellular Defence for Multiple Sclerosis & Parkinsons Disease

Monday, April 12th, 2010

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:

  1. live blood analysis: looking at immunity, anti-oxidant levels, invisible toxicity, sluggish or overactive immunity, essential fatty acid levels and more;
  2. 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;
  3. 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;
  4. 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!

Testimonial: ADHD, tantrums & moods…ADHD

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Approaching his third birthday, my son was displaying the systems normally associated with ADHD and I was extremely concerned.  I am so glad I decided to give Madonna a go at New leaf Natural Therapies.  After performing a Live Blood Analysis on him, she then treated him with Kinesiology and Naturopathy.  After about two weeks I noticed a positive change in his behaviour and people started commenting on his improvement soon after that.  His screaming, frequent tantrums, crying and gagging are a thing of the past and he is now a happy, sweet boy with a hearty appetite! All achieved with the power of nature, rather than the horrors of drugs like Ritalin.

Thankyou Madonna and team.

Asthma: Natural Strategies to improve your breathing!!

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Natural strategies for asthma have improved hugely over the last five years.  Breathing is such a natural process that it’s hard to imagine the lungs conspiring to stop us…however, it now happens to many, many Australians each year!

2.2 million adults have asthma (1/10) and 1/6 children (the third highest rate of childhood asthma in the world!

Around 400 deaths per year are a result of asthma and around 60% of these are fully preventable – even moreso when the lungs and respiratory system are supported with natural therapies… it takes time, but it may save your life!

New Leaf Natural Therapies have strategies to help you improve your lungs and take control of your life!

  1. natural supplements strong enough to create an anti-inflammatory process within the lungs: thereby allowing us to reduce medication as appropriate
  2. supplements and frequency specific microcurrent help to repair the lungs and bronchial tissue which has been inflamed for so long
  3. reduce allergens and allergic tendencies: the number one reason for asthma attacks – we do treatments to improve allergic tendencies: these include supplements; kinesiology and frequency specific microcurrent.  In our live blood analysis testing we usually find massive levels of eosinophils (allergy markers in the bloodstream) in asthmatics.  We consistenly find these improve over time with this combination of treatments.
  4. repair the gut! We find that just about 100% of our clients with asthma have ‘leaky gut syndrome’ in our Live Blood Analysis.  The tissue in the gut (endothelial tissue) is identical to that of the lungs and inflammation tends to happen simultaneously in both areas with affected asthmatics.  So ‘leaky lung syndrome’ and ‘leaky gut syndrome go hand in hand!
  5. Many chronic coughs are a result of either subclinical asthmatic tendencies or allergies.  It is important to get to the bottom of it as these coughs can last for years!
  6. Asthmatics tend to have low oxygen levels due to inefficient lungs: increasing substances like co-enzyme Q10 and oxygen supplements help the body to re-oxygenate.
