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!

Remedial Massage notes from the desk of Cherice Day and Katherine Lynn.
Massage therapy is an art. It’s a skill and it needs to be a passion. Good remedial massage therapists meet a client and create a plan of attack in order to solve a physical problem; frozen shoulder; knee issues; back or neck or shoulder pain – whatever the problem, it needs skilled hands to sort it out.
Clients often come in thinking that an issue will be sorted out in one session. Then it comes down to what has caused the problem in the first place as to how long it takes to fix.
What causes chronic pain?
- muscles being too acidic (therefore you probably need a high quality magnesium such as fibroplex powder) from lactic acid;
- muscles being too dehydrated (most Aussies don’t drink enough water!) Coffee, tea, soft drinks, white sugar and flour products all dehydrate our bodies;
- structural problems: sitting badly, sleeping badly, exercising badly, not stretching, not being able to relax, nutritional deficiencies…
- immune activation within muscles such as fibromyalgia (the immune system attacks the muscle fibres); auto-immunity in problems such as Rheumatoid Arthritis
These reasons give us an idea why 1 massage isn’t always the only answer. Cherice & Katherine will put together a plan of attack so that you can start healing from the inside out. If there’s more of a health picture that needs naturopathic attention, you will be referred to Madonna Guy ND or Jacqueline Dekoke ND.
Yours in health
Cherice & Katherine

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!

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.

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!’

SIBO, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is a reasonably new discovery, or at least has finally been proven within the medical and naturopathic fields. For years naturopaths have worked on clearing ‘bad large intestinal bacteria’ with reasonable to good results, but when the intestinal growth is in the small intestine, instead of the large intestine, there are no tests which indicate where the infestation is, and results may not be as good. Detoxification of the intestines has always been hugely important for preventing disease and illness, naturopathically.
The problem is that symptoms of gut issues: bloating, burping, belching, wind, flatulence, diarrhoea, constipation (irritable bowel syndrome) can be either a small or large intestine issue.
For those of us who do kinesiology we are blessed with the ability to check where the overgrowth is (and it is often through the entire digestive tract) and what the infestation is made of: parasites, fungus, candida, bacteria, viral etc. Thank goodness for kinesiology…
And of course, SIBO is hugely indicated in many health issues: it has been found that 80-100% of chronic fatigue syndrome sufferers, as well as those with fibromyalgia suffer from SIBO – 80-100%. i’m sure SIBO will be indicated in reversing chronic disease in the future. It really gives a new perspective on treating the gut first – an old naturopathic adage…

Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia are 2 of the most frustrating ‘disease states’ these days. Medically, there is no ‘proof’ for either Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia, so doctors or patients diagnose based on a lack of other diagnosis, and are often given advice like ‘take a holiday’, ‘take some anti-depressants’ or pain-killers which really don’t do a lot in these chronic health problems. Of course, anyone who takes these drugs know that they are poor substitutes for a healthy life…
In Europe, in 2009, it states in medical literature that there is no cure for chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and that the only treatment is anti-depressant therapy! And yet, naturopathically at least, it has been found that both disease states have chronic magnesium deficiencies; small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO); the energy-creating mechanisms (Krebs Cycle; Citric Acid Cycle) aren’t working properly and neither are the detoxification processes in the body.
Naturopathically, these are the keys to our success! Detoxify, lots of magnesium and energy-creating nutrition, clear SIBO …
