I found this article, which gives another excellent reason for keeping the waist measurement down as we get older!
“If you suffer from girth imbalance—also known as belly fat—you certainly are not alone. It is estimated that 50 percent of adult Americans carry unhealthy supplies of fat around their middle. Excess fat, particularly in the abdomen, can lead to a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and premature death. Researchers have now concluded that that creeping middle age belly fat also predisposes us to the risk of developing Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
Dementia is an age-related disease that robs its victims of memory and cognitive functions; things like perception, reasoning, judgment, thinking, and speech. One in ten Americans over the age of 65 suffers from some form of dementia; 60 to 80 percent suffer its most common form, Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine studied 733 adults, with an average age of 60. The group was composed of 30 percent men and 70 percent women. Each individual went through body mass (BMI) measurements as well as scans to assess abdominal fat. The results, concurrent with other similar studies, showed that as the BMI increased, brain volume decreased.
“Our data suggests a stronger connection between central obesity . . . and risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease,’ said Sudha Seshadri, leader of the study published in the journal Annals of Neurology.
This means that for people reaching middle age, their 50s and 60s, there is a direct correlation between the increase in the waistline and decrease in brain size. Consequently the chances of some form of dementia hitting this particular group of people increases.”
Madonna’s thoughts: I went to a health congress in 2009 where obesity is linked to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease via inflammation: obesity makes us inflamed, and inflammation ‘eats away at the brain’. It’s time for us to get serious about our weight loss and keep it off. It’s a challenge, but it’s important.

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!!!).

Approaching his third birthday, my son was displaying the systems normally associated with ADHD and I was extremely concerned. I am so glad I decided to give Madonna a go at New leaf Natural Therapies. After performing a Live Blood Analysis on him, she then treated him with Kinesiology and Naturopathy. After about two weeks I noticed a positive change in his behaviour and people started commenting on his improvement soon after that. His screaming, frequent tantrums, crying and gagging are a thing of the past and he is now a happy, sweet boy with a hearty appetite! All achieved with the power of nature, rather than the horrors of drugs like Ritalin.
Thankyou Madonna and team.

Natural strategies for asthma have improved hugely over the last five years. Breathing is such a natural process that it’s hard to imagine the lungs conspiring to stop us…however, it now happens to many, many Australians each year!
2.2 million adults have asthma (1/10) and 1/6 children (the third highest rate of childhood asthma in the world!
Around 400 deaths per year are a result of asthma and around 60% of these are fully preventable – even moreso when the lungs and respiratory system are supported with natural therapies… it takes time, but it may save your life!
New Leaf Natural Therapies have strategies to help you improve your lungs and take control of your life!
- natural supplements strong enough to create an anti-inflammatory process within the lungs: thereby allowing us to reduce medication as appropriate
- supplements and frequency specific microcurrent help to repair the lungs and bronchial tissue which has been inflamed for so long
- reduce allergens and allergic tendencies: the number one reason for asthma attacks – we do treatments to improve allergic tendencies: these include supplements; kinesiology and frequency specific microcurrent. In our live blood analysis testing we usually find massive levels of eosinophils (allergy markers in the bloodstream) in asthmatics. We consistenly find these improve over time with this combination of treatments.
- repair the gut! We find that just about 100% of our clients with asthma have ‘leaky gut syndrome’ in our Live Blood Analysis. The tissue in the gut (endothelial tissue) is identical to that of the lungs and inflammation tends to happen simultaneously in both areas with affected asthmatics. So ‘leaky lung syndrome’ and ‘leaky gut syndrome‘ go hand in hand!
- Many chronic coughs are a result of either subclinical asthmatic tendencies or allergies. It is important to get to the bottom of it as these coughs can last for years!
- Asthmatics tend to have low oxygen levels due to inefficient lungs: increasing substances like co-enzyme Q10 and oxygen supplements help the body to re-oxygenate.

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,

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…

I’ve been thinking how great it would be to be on the radio for years! Having a love of public speaking and teaching people what I know, having any audience has always given me a huge sense of satisfaction. I was a member of Powertalk International for 12 years or so, and now it’s finally happened! Alex Bernard runs a show on 4BC on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and she’s a spicy entertainer who, no doubt, will challenge Madonna into action! November 2009 is our first month on Radio 4BC (AM 1116) so tune in at around 3.30pm on Sunday afternoons and check me out if you want to hear me in action. I’ll be taking calls and look forward to helping people out across the airwaves.
There’s really nothing I don’t help treat (along with your doctors of course!) and as you’ll know it’s always about getting the body back into balance… since I’m trained in naturopathy, clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, kinesiology, learning problems, natural fertility management, live blood analysis, cellular analysis, bowen therapy and much more… there’s not a lot I don’t have experience with, or an opinion about!
Talk to me on the radio soon!
