Why Detox?? Is detoxification really necessary?
Many of us are oblivious to the amount of toxins we breathe in, digest, and create daily. Estimates range up to 70,000 toxins that we breathe in daily, and up to 10,000 that we ingest. The humble shiny green apple has between 36-70 chemicals just to make it shiny! Our power plants (there are 23 in Australia and 100’s throughout the world) release 4000 tonnes of mercury into the atmosphere every year. No wonder our waterways have fish, known to be full of mercury and other toxins…
If we have ANY health problems, there’s over a 90% chance our inflammation, acidity, toxicity can be helped through detoxing. Many doctors say 100% are caused by toxicity of numerous kinds. Our body’s simply can’t catch up with the amounts of toxins in the environment, and release them all.
There are viral and bacterial connections to many chronic health problems, fungal and candida connections to just about every disease. Everything from arthritis to glandular fever, chronic fatigue to hashimotos, asthma to ulcers, has been linked to a gut problem, where these infections find a home base to live – not a good thing!
For someone who has allergic symptoms: sneezing, runny nose, sinusitis, rashes, hayfever, itches, often we have stored toxins, which are positively charged and creating inflammation. Everytime our nose runs and our eyes itch, not only are there toxins plaguing our already unhappy body, but we are also storing inflammatory hormones, and often the drugs we use to treat these problems.
With aspergers, autism, ADD, ADHD there are links to heavy metals and allergens. There are numerous studies which show high levels of heavy metals in hair mineral analysis, along with large amounts of stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenalin, running through the system. Nearly all show intolerances to wheat and dairy. The organs of elimination and digestion simply don’t have the capacity to break them down properly.
In issues associated with weight loss, it is a well established fact that people who detoxify lose weight faster and don’t reach the hump that others reach. Fat tissue also creates at least 30 inflammatory substances, all of which then need to be stored in the body, often in the fat tissue, once again.
With inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis, it is often shown that large amounts of toxins are attached to the bone cells. This creates inflammation and causes degenerations to the area.
WHAT CAN WE DO? The most universal detox product of all, which only detoxes and has no other function, is Waiora Natural Cellular Defense Zeolite product. Ask Madonna for more information: Email at healthteam@nlnt.com.au or phone: 0417 643 849 / 3348 6098

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!

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!

It’s so easy for people to create a lot of health problems over the Christmas Silly Season. Yes, there’ll be parties, fun & frolicking and so there should be! But we need to take a step back and decide how much damage we’re going to do to our bodies. We can easily create such a huge amount of inflammation that our bodies take months to recover. Make a conscious decision to have fun, but NOT to damage your body too much after Christmas…
1. Drink heaps and heaps of filtered water. It will keep you hydrated, support your liver and kidney function, help you eat and drink less!
2. Mix your drinks with soda water: spirits, wines, champagnes…that way you can feel like you’re drinking with your mates, but doing yourself, your liver and kidneys less damage in the long run…
3. Use carrots, snow peas & celery sticks to eat your dips. You’ll be getting plenty of anti-oxidants and fibre, moving everything through your intestines faster. If you’re on the keto-diet you can even use small slices of ham, turkey slices or veggie slices to pick up the dip with…completely keto if you choose good dips.
4. Try to exercise daily. 20-30 minutes every single day throughout the silly season to keep your metabolism up. Everyone can fit this in regardless of how busy, how tired, how full they are!
Mostly have fun. It’s proven that we maintain weight more easily when we’re happy and not stressed. Stress hormones force us to release fat-storing hormones… Happiness helps us digest better and release fat-burning hormones.
Have a great Christmas

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.

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,
Madonna Guy ND

So much is now known about the ageing process that wasn’t known 15 years ago. It’s what I love about current research and attending symposiums on genetic research, true anti-ageing ‘medicine’ and reversing chronic disease. This is what we do here at New Leaf.
We have technology such as Frequency Specific Microcurrent which helps reduce inflammation, pain and chronic disease patterns, we use supplements which increase Stem Cell Production, we have supplements which gently repair and regenerate areas of the body, brain and nervous system. We have listened and learned from experts all around the world who are using natural therapies to reverse dementia, depression and type II diabetes.
We can see in our live blood analysis when people already have a ‘dodgy gene’ activated within their immune system. What’s really exciting is that seems to take 3-4 months to reverse. Studies in the USA show that we can reverse 70-80 dodgy genes every 3-4 months with a healthy lifestyle, supplementation and a good mental attitude. There’s a particular white blood cell called a monocyte which should have only 1 nucleus. When it has 2 or more nucleii, it means we’re on a downhill slide of ‘dodgy gene activation’. It is very well known now, that just because we have the gene for something, doesn’t mean we will get the disease. The disease must be ‘activated’ somehow, usually by our diets and lifestyle.
Some medications at the symposium in June 2009 were mentioned as being drugs which activated dodgy genes in many study participants.
We are confident that a healthier way of life is available to everyone on the planet. We know from experience that 99% of people can be helped. We look forward to nurturing many clients in years to come take their health to a level they never thought was possible.

I’ve been annoyed about the Lemon Detox Diet for months now. So many people tell me they’ve tried it and I’m stunned that it sells so well. From the naturopathic perspective, here’s what I’ve thought for ages: It has lots of sugar, there’s very little protein, so it’s going to burn muscle and gain fat. People MIGHT have an overall weight loss but what are they doing to their body composition!!
On Channel 9’s “What’s Good For You?” a show that regularly picks on natural therapies, they were testing ‘detox diets’ to see if they worked. The conclusion – they don’t work and that they are actually bad for you – raise triglycerides (fats in your blood), upset liver function and lots more. However, it was the Lemon Detox Diet that they used as their example! As usual, they didn’t have a naturopath to chat to (at New Leaf we’ve done years of research and training into detoxification processes and do it properly) and came to the conclusion that it’s bad for people.
Obviously that’s silly. We live in the year 2009, we breathe in over 70,000 chemicals daily and nearly every single health concern is linked to toxins, acidity and inflammation: cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimers & dementia!
