Deep Tissue/Remedial Massage at New Leaf Natural Therapies (Wynnum, Brisbane)… Madonna Guy ND

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

We are continuing our tradition of fabulous Deep Tissue/Remedial Massage at New Leaf Natural Therapies…

Are you having pain in your neck? back? shoulders?  Let’s have a think about what’s going on…  the muscles are tightening, they are getting dehydrated and ‘gluey’ and they shorten.  They start pinching the nerves, start pulling the ribs out of whack, create nerve pain…  goodness me, given that 70% of Aussies have back and neck pain regularly – we could all do with a fantastic massage regularly…

Our massage therapists have lots of experience in different techniques that will start to reset your muscles back into normal shape.  Given their nutritional and naturopathic experience they may also recommend products that help with chronic pain such as:

  • Fibroplex for muscle pain and fibromyalgia
  • Kaprex for chronic pain
  • Inflavonoid Intensive care for acute pain..

It really isn’t that hard to get muscle problems, nerve pain, fibromyalgia on the right track to health.  We’ll probably recommend a programme which will even save you lots of $$$ too…  but that’s up to you.

Give us a call and book in with Doug or Kat on 3348 6098

Chronic Neck Pain – natural solutions & treatments…

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Chronic Neck Pain – natural solutions & treatments…

Are you sick of spending lots of money on trying to get long term solutions for your chronic neck pain?  Part of the problem may be that specialists only look at their area of expertise – understandable, but not wholistic!

We can provide a 6 point solution to your neck pain:

  1. Musculo-skeletal therapy/remedial massage to relax the muslces and nerves;
  2. Frequency specific microcurrent to reduce the spinal cord inflammation, reduce the inflammation within the discs & joints and support the healing;
  3. Infrared sauna (penetrates 4-6cm inside the body, acting like a ‘heat pack’ all over):  these heat the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments and bones allowing the body to release toxins and inflammation;
  4. Structural kinesiology to ensure all of the muscles are ’switched on’ and working properly, make sure the body is structurally aligned correctly and the spinal cord, tailbone, neck and cranial bones are all aligned correctly.
  5. Emotional kinesiology works to release fight and flight patterns that compress the spinal cord, tighten the jaw, create pressure on the cranial bones, throw the shoulders and hips out of whack, and more!
  6. Naturopathic consultations/supplements to provide nutritional, herbal and homoeopathic support to help your body relax long term.  We will prescribe high potency, purified supplements to regain the health of your body and to stop the downward slide into further chronic pain.

Best Plans Available at our clinic to save you money…

  • Remedial Massage Plan (1 pre-paid massage per month)
  • Chronic Pain Plan (2 pre-paid frequency specific microcurrent treatments per month)
  • Flexi Plan (1 x pre-paid kinesiology/naturopathic per month)

Frequency Specific Microcurrent for Nerve & Muscle Pain in Wynnum, Brisbane

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Frequency Specific Microcurrent is an exciting new way of treating nerve and muscle pain and many other conditions using specific frequencies and micro amperage current.

We use FSM to create miraculous changes in patients to reduce pain and improve health. Most of the time FSM produces immediate dramatic changes in tissue that make it an indispensable tool in treating pain and many other health concerns.

For example, there is one frequency that is only useful for shingles and herpes. In acute shingles conditions  it eliminates the pain and prevents the blisters from breaking out. In herpes outbreaks it eliminates the pain and heals the blisters in hours with only a two hour treatment.  Depending on how many viral particles have been released into the system, a 2nd or 3rd treatment may be necessary if the shingles has been around for some time.

This frequency combination is only good for this purpose and is not useful for anything else. We have not found anyone it does not work on or any other condition for which it is useful. The frequency to reduce inflammation reduces inflammation in a blinded animal study more effectively than any drug ever tested in this animal model. No other frequency reduced inflammation at all. The frequency specific effect is remarkable and reproducible.

There are government restrictions on what we can say, report or claim as an effect of the use of microcurrent as a device for the treatment of any condition other than a general “treatment of pain” statement.

Microcurrent instruments are all approved by the TGA under the general class of “TENS” devices even though microcurrent is 1000 times less current than TENS.

TENS devices can only make claims about general relief of pain. This doesn’t change what we can do; it changes what we can say about what we can do. All references to clinical effects other than simple pain control refer to frequency resonance effects not the effects of microcurrent.

We have Chronic and Acute pain programmes which save many $$$ per month – ask today how you can improve your pain levels with Frequency Specific Microcurrent.

About Stem Cells: embryonic versus Stem Enhance – completely natural and organic!!!

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

About Stem Cells:  Embryonic stem cells (ESC) have been in the news  since 1998 when stem cells obtained from human embryo were first successfully grown in vitro. And as ESC were shown to have the ability of becoming virtually any cell type of the body, this achievement inspired many promises and raised expectations. Could injection of ESC lead to improvements in various degenerative diseases ? Would it be possible to grow organs in vitro for the purpose of transplant ? Could we manipulate the genetic material of embryonic stem cells in order to repair faulty genes in an organ ?

But an ESC were fueling much hope, research with ESC became rapidly encumbered by serious ethical considerations. First, the source of human ESC has to be human embryos.

The idea of growing human embryos with the intent of dismembering them after a week or so in order to grow ESC is obviously questionable, Second and more worrisome is the fact that culturing human ESC could open the door to human cloning in order to grow actual organs. But aside from these ethical issues the main issue is that in spite of all the promises of ESC research nearly 10 years of research have delivered little in term of successful and safe ESC-based therapeutic approach.

But, while much of the world focused on developments in ESC research another breakthrough discovery was being made by numerous scientific teams throughout the world. Adult stem cells (ASC), the stem cells present in the body after birth, were also shown to have the ability of becoming virtually any cell type of the body.

ASC placed on brain. Liver or muscle tissue will rapidly become brain, liver and muscle cells. At first, because ASC are difficult to grow in vitro, many believed that they had little potential, but a series of in vivo studies rapidly establish that ASC have enormous potential in the body.

This discovery then spurred the concept that adult stem cells, having the ability of becoming any cell type of the body, might constitute the natural renewal system of the body. Studies using various novel scientific tools like Green Fluorescent Protein, which allows visual tracking of stem cells in the body, showed that when an organ is challenged it causes the release of compounds know to trigger stem cells release from the bone marrow. The organ then releases compounds known to attract stem cells, and released stem cells travel to that organ. As they reach the organ in need, the stem cells migrate in the organ, proliferate and become cells of that organ, promoting tissue renewal.

This process takes place every day of our lives and constitute the natural innate renewal system of the body. As stem cells travel in the body, they participate to maintaining optimal health throughout the body.

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!

Testimonial: musculo-skeletal problems, kinesiology & remedial massage

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Over the years a variety of problems in the musculo-skeletal area, have been improved with kinesiology and massage therapies by Madonna and New Leaf  Natural Therapies, including things that have been debilitating for many years!

My main pains have been in the lower back area, the bit between the shoulder blades, the knees and many, debilitating cramps!  It had even been so bad that ambulances had been called on several occasions in order to help with the cramps, now they are a thing of the past (as long as I stay on fibroplex!!!).

Testimonial for Remedial Massage, Wynnum, with Cherice Day & Katherine Lynn

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Hi.  I’ve had massages with both Cherice Day and Katherine Lynn in the past few weeks in order to sort out (mainly) a lower back issue.  No surprise was that they found other areas needing work as well.  Cherice did Chinese cupping & remedial massage.  I found she could easily massage deeper after allowing the ‘cups’ to do their work.  I’ve also had a hot stone massage from Cherice in the past, which is just bliss!

The past few days I’ve had 2 massages with Katherine Lynn and she’s worked through much more than my lower back.  Katherine has used techniques to.  It feels that we’ll need to do more work on my lower back, although I’ve already felt quite a big improvement. loosen my shoulders, my neck and my back and hips

Chinese Cupping Techniques:  by Katherine Lynn & Nathan Leach

What can Chinese Cupping Techniques be used for…

Insomnia

Cupping is an ancient Chinese practice where the cup is suctioned, applied to the skin, and the pressure in the cup is reduced (by using change in heat or by suctioning out air), so that the skin and outer layers of the muscles are drawn up and into the cup. Sometimes the cup may be moved while the suction of skin is still active, causing pulling of the skin and muscle (gliding cupping).

This treatment has similarities to other massage techniques, such as the rapid skin pinching along the back. In that practice, the skin is pinched, sometimes at specific points (e.g., bladder meridian points), until a redness is generated. Cupping is applied by acupuncturists to certain acupuncture points, as well as to regions of the body that are affected by pain (where the pain is deeper than the tissues to be pulled).

When the cups are moved along the surface of the skin, the treatment is similar to sand scraping, a folk remedy of southeast Asia which is often carried out by scraping the skin with a coin or other object with the intention of breaking up stagnation. Movement of the cups is a gentler technique than sand scraping, as a lubricant allows the cup to slide. Still, a certain amount of bruising is expected both from fixed position cupping (especially at the site of the cup rim) and with movement of the cups (up to 2 weeks of bruising should be expected after cupping massage techniques).

Traditional cupping, with use of heated cups, also has some similarity to moxibustion therapy. Heating of the cups was the method used to obtain suction: the hot air in the cups has a low density and, as the cups cool with the opening sealed by the skin, the pressure within the cups declines, sucking the skin into it. In this case, the cups are hot and have a stimulating effect something like that of burning moxa wool.
