One of the most common conditions we see in people over 40 is gut pain… reflux, heartburn and acid problems are huge. Unfortunately it means that many of them are taking drugs which settle down the reflux or heartburn, but also have many unfortunate ’side effects’. Not side effects in the usual sense of the word, but consequences of long-term health.
By the time we have indigestion, reflux & heartburn our gut hasn’t been working for quite some time. It doesn’t happen overnight, and it takes some time to correct. Doctors don’t mention to us that there is ‘good acid’ and ‘bad acid’. Many practitioners don’t see the link, and therefore don’t get good results with gut issues.
Take time to get your gut right. It takes time, but it’s worth it! Gut issues cause chronic disease: cancer; diabetes; depression; food sensitivities; immune problems; allergies and chronic pain.

I did another session today on Radio 4BC with Alex Bernard: the callers asked about chronic sinusitis; magnesium deficiency in the soil (and foods) and a wife with iron deficiency.
The poor girl with the chronic sinusitis has been treating it medically for sometime, with lots of doses of anti-biotics. The problem with anti-biotics is that although it helps in the short-term it doesn’t help the long-term problem – the immune system isn’t functioning properly. Rhinocort and claryntyne seem to work in the short term but long term the problem simply returns – the cause of the inflammation hasn’t been found. What can we do? We can do a live blood analysis and determine how active the immune system is, along with the gut. If there is leaky gut that needs healing before the sinusitis can ever be healed. We can do some food or environmental sensitivity testing and immune balancing with kinesiology. We would also provide some supplementation to really kick the body into action, reduce the inflammation of the sinuses and prevent further damage of the gut.
Another gentleman asked why Australian soils are magnesium deficient. It is my understanding that it’s not just magnesium, but many other minerals as well that are very deficient, and that over 70% of Aussies are magnesium deficient – of course lots of other things deplete this mineral such as coffee, tea, stress, insomnia as well as many drugs.
And with the lady who has long-term iron deficiency, it was asked if liquid iron tonics were better than tablet iron supplements. This may be true except that it’s more ‘dodgy forms’ of iron which cause constipation (the concern) so when naturopaths prescribe iron we use good forms such as ‘diclycinated iron’ which is absorbed without causing constipation. If the stomach or small intestine are not working properly, we don’t absorb iron very well either…we break it down firstly in the stomach and then absorb in the small intestines…
Until next week,

Kinesiology: the definition of kinesiology is a little tricky since there are so many forms, developed with different processes in mind. In general kinesiology is about muscle movement and muscle testing, therefore we use muscle testing to find out what’s going on inside the body. We use different ‘muscle testing’ techniques depending on who we are treating and what we are treating them for.
Kinesiology was developed originally in the 1950’s by renegade chiropractors in the U.S., who were sick to death of treating the same condition week in, week out. George Goodheart went to China and learned acupuncture philosophy, so acupressure and acupuncture meridians, points, and emotions are highly integrated within most kinesiology models.
Physios used ‘kinesiology’ techniques in the 1950’s as well to find out how damaged a persons muscles were after a bout of polio, or after the polio vaccines, so we add in the structural muscular knowledge from this side of medicine as well. Richard Utt, Gordon Dickson ND & Charles Krebs PhD all developed various kinesiology processes which have created the overall process now known as LEAP (Learning Enhancement Advanced Acupressure) system which helps people with learning problems, memory issues, behavioural problems such as ADHD, ADD, Aspergers, Autism and more.
Carl Ferrari D.C. combined chiropractic with Touch for Health and other modalities to develop N.O.T. (Neural Organisational Technique) which is fabulous in re-booting the nervous system from head to toe, supporting long-term issues such as whiplashes, jaw and hip problems, scoliosis and more. Both Linda Hoggard ND and Madonna Guy ND have been using N.O.T. since 1996 and have found it invaluable in treating long term health problems such as chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Jacqueline Dekoke ND is the primary practitioner dealing with finding allergies, dealing with sensitivities and helping overcome long term immune system issues with the Endocrine and Immune Balancing processes.
All of our kinesiologists are also naturopaths so we utilise our knowledge within both spheres to ensure people get the most out of our treatments. The types of kinesiology that we do are very non-invasive: we may find a time-line that’s important to clear (ie, father unwell at 8 years old, creates a fear pattern in our brain around loss or lack of security for example) but we don’t delve on these old patterns very long, we simply store the information and move on, clearing the stressors as we find them.
Have you experienced kinesiology? We love kinesiology at our clinic, it’s a big part of who we are and what we do! when we were setting up the clinic we knew that it was not only important, but absolutely necessary that our practitioners understood and used kinesiology as an integral part of the way they worked, and that’s what we’ve achieved!
Madonna has been doing kinesiology since 1995 or so, and teaching touch for health for over 10 years… Linda and Madonna have been training together for many years and have travelled all around Australia (and to New York) to learn from the top kinesiologists available. Jacqueline learnt amazing techniques through her experiences in sensitivity balancing, and did courses such as Touch for Health many years ago. She does most of our ‘endocrine balancing’, ‘immune balancing’ and ’sensitivity testing and treatments’ at our clinic.
There are so many types of kinesiology, it’s really hard to say how it works and what it does. We do everything from Structural Kinesiology to Counselling and emotional kinesiology, LEAP (Learning Enhancement Advanced Protocol); Muscle balancing with Touch for Health; NOT (Neural Organisational Technique); SIPS (Stress Indicator Points System); Heart Healing and lots more.
Most health problems link to emotional issues, the most common being rage & anger, fear & anxiety, pain & punishment, depression and escape, submission & freeze: we find those emotional links and ‘diffuse’ the nervous system so that it starts to act ‘consciously’ rather than ‘unconsciously’. It’s often quite subtle, but it really kicks the nervous system into action and helps people hugely!
Have you ever felt like you weren’t in control of your emotions? You wanted to be happy, you tried to be happy, but it just wasn’t that easy? Kinesiology can help to find those ‘deep survival patterns’ and reduce the impact of them on your day to day lives. We help people from all walks of life get on top of their health problems. Give us a call and see how you can help you today!
