Side-effects of Natural Therapies???

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Are there any side-effects of natural therapies?  Having been in the industry for 20 years I have a lot of thoughts on this.  People respond in different ways to different therapies.

Imagine an elderly person, on many medications, who has her first massage in years: a gentle relaxation massage.  Imagine some of the muscle starting to release toxins – inflammatory hormones being released into the bloodstream, coupled with a lack of hydration since medications dehydrate the system so much!  Link that to a huge magnesium deficiency created by a lifetime of poor diet, excess tea and coffee and depletion via the medication and you end up with pain after a massage…  a side-effect???

There needs to be support for natural therapies for pensioners!  The only healthcare the elderly can often afford is medical drugs with it’s huge government assistance.  It’s devastating for us to speak to people every single day who cannot afford our services and yet they get unhealthier and unhealthier following a ‘medical lifestyle’!  This needs to be changed!

Advanced Injury Repair – with Frequency Specific Microcurrent: see special offer limited spaces

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

We’ve had such fantastic results with our Advanced Injury Repair programme, using frequency specific microcurrent, that we often feel like it makes no sense how well it works.  But it does!  The treatment has been developed in the U.S. over the past 100 years with improvements in technology that have allowed better and better results.  More recently Dr Carolyn McMakin has published several medical research papers which proves the anti-inflammatory and repair effects on the body.  As the FSM equipment is TGA approved in Australia, it has been through rigorous testing which have PROVEN the increase in cellular energy, the decrease in inflammatory hormones and the increase in the immune boosting capacity of the frequency specific microcurrent technology.

And…we use 2 machines simultaneously!  We’ll be discussing this treatment at our free pain talks in November: 25th & 26th – ring to book on 07 3348 6098 (see our ‘News’ page).

For people with recent injuries who need the Advanced Injury Repair we recommend 1-2 treatments per week: it has been proven to:

  • increase the hormones which stimulate healing and reduce inflammation (broken bones, wound healing, infections, pulled ligaments and tendons, nerve damage),
  • strengthening weakened tissues
  • for chronic pain issues more like fibromyalgia,
  • parkinsons & multiple sclerosis (we’re recommending long term, twice per month with nutritional supplementation to support the nervous and muscular systems)

It has been shown that 1 hour (1 machine) with our Advanced Injury Repair programme is equivalent to about 5 hours of massage.  The benefit of this is that people with some chronic health issues such as fibromyalgia cannot handle massage due to pain afterwards, whereas they do seem to handle frequency specific microcurrent quite well.

Call Gabby or Helen today on 3348 6098 to book…  always ask if there’s a special on offer, as we sometimes have ‘get started packages!’

Free Talk: Getting off the Pain Drug Merry-go-round

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

We’re having a few small talks in November 2009, about pain drugs – getting off the pain drug merry-go-round!  Sounds like a familiar story for someone you know and love?  Or you maybe?  Without drugs life just isn’t worth living, but with the drugs it’s not much chop either??!!

Pain drug useage is so common, people don’t think twice about it.  Panadols are $2 for 24 tablets – how easy it is to get addicted to these drugs and what are they doing to our health?  An aspirin a day for the Over 50’s; so many people on blood thinners, blood pressure tablets, pain killers, many drugs which are seen to be as life-long habits.  One per day.  Easy.  Not that we’re saying get off your drugs, but there are other alternatives which many doctors and specialists simply don’t know about.

The problem with the body is that everytime we take a drug we are not just affecting the system we want to affect.  Blood thinners don’t just thin the blood, they thin the gut lining (often causing leaky-gut which we see easily in our live blood analysis) too.  Blood pressure tablets aim at slowing blood pressure, but it often causes side effects such as weight gain and exhaustion.  Pain drugs numb the pain but don’t fix the problem. 

What’s the solution?  Come along to our free talk on Wednesday morning or Thursday evening, meet Madonna & see what New Leaf Natural Therapies has to offer!

Everyone gets $150 bonus for attending – can you pass that up??
