Dangers and Radiation from High-Tech screenings: MRI’s Catscans Mammograms X-rays

Dangers and Radiation from High-Tech screenings: MRI’s Catscans Mammograms X-rays
I found this article on Oprah’s website – Dr Oz…
thought you might find it interesting…
What we find in our clinic in live blood analysis and BLA bio-impedance analysis – poor immunity, disrupted white blood cell activity, poor liver function, inflamed cells, poor quality muscle mass,  fluid imbalances to name a few…

High-tech screenings could be exposing you to unnecessary radiation. Mehmet Oz, MD, explains how to dial down your dose.

Radiation is all around us—we absorb it every day from gases, minerals, and sunlight—and in small amounts, it’s nothing to worry about. But Americans today are exposed to seven times more radiation from diagnostic medical imaging tests than they were 30 years ago—thanks to the expanded use of X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and mammograms.

CT scans are the biggest culprits, delivering as much as 500 times the radiation of a standard X-ray, and potentially causing an estimated 1.5 to 2 percent of all cancers in the United States. More than 16 million CT scans were performed in hospital emergency rooms in 2007, up from 2.7 million in 1995, and a 2010 study found that more than a quarter of CT scans are being ordered by primary care physicians for the wrong reasons (for instance, to check for blood in the urine in a patient with a urinary tract infection).

I don’t want to scare you away from needed tests. When used properly, these scans have more benefits than risks. But there are a few ways you can protect yourself:

1. Keep a record of your CT scans, PET scans, and X-rays, and note any radiation treatment for cancer, plus any occupational radiation exposure (for example, if you work on an airline crew). Give a copy to your doctor.

2. The next time your physician recommends a diagnostic scan, ask:

  • How will having this exam improve my care?
    If the test’s outcome won’t change the diagnosis, you shouldn’t have it done.
  • Are there equally good alternatives?
    Some diagnostic scans, such as MRI or ultrasound, don’t emit radiation. If you need a CT scan and you weigh less than 180 pounds, your doctor may be able to decrease the radiation dose.
  • Can you use an older test result?
    Let your doctor know if you’ve received any imaging at another office or hospital within the past five years. He may be able to reexamine the results and spare you another round of radiation.

3. Wear a thyroid guard and lead apron during dental X-rays—recent research suggests that repeated exposure may be linked to thyroid cancer if patients aren’t properly protected. And ask whether you can receive a digital X-ray, which uses less radiation than film.

What Do We Do?

Naturopathy is a system of healing that aims to provide holistic or whole body healthcare by drawing on treatment methods from several traditional systems of medicine. Naturopathy seeks to use the natural healing powers of the body to cure itself. It focuses on treating the cause of a disease rather than the symptoms themselves. In the past naturopathy was described as an alternative medicine; however there has been such a massive amount of scientific research in the past 20 years that it is much more mainstream these days.

Good health and wellness is what naturopathic treatment is all about. The main emphasis of naturopathic practice is the belief that the body has an inbuilt ability to strive for health. The role of a naturopath is to work with a person to promote the natural healing of the body. Naturopathy is rooted in the belief that health is more than just the absence of disease and works on strengthening the body’s natural defences.

Just about all disease conditions can be supported through naturopathic supplements and treatments.  There is very little that our team hasn’t treated, and with such a range of practitioners, testing facilities, treatments and skills available, you and your loved ones are in good hands.

Our naturopaths are Doug Newitt and Madonna Guy

Kinesiology: We have kinesiology techniques for just about everything!  Kinesiology is a tool (like acupuncture but without the needles) that helps to find and correct imbalances in the body.  It has been developed over the last 60 years and utilises a combination of techniques – chiropractic, acupuncture, Chinese philosophy such as meridians, chakras & other energies, counselling and brain neurology.

Choosing a kinesiologist at New Leaf is easy:   we all have different skills and different knowledge base to work from, and you simply book in with the practitioner that feels right for what you are going through. If you need to see someone else afterwards, we’ll let you know (your body will tell us!!!)

Norm is a very gentle kinesiologist who brings many years of massage therapy and biochemistry skills and knowledge to your treatment session.  Norm is very calm and has an ability to gently move through big issues and help to alleviate stress and pain from your life.  With the combination of NOT/kinesiology skills he can find out exactly what supplements your body needs, so that you get on track sooner!  Norm’s balances are often very energetic in nature and clients often ‘feel’ his energetic healings. Norm also uses kinesiology to perform allergy testing, allergy treatments, endocrine balances and structural balancing.

Kat has a wide variety of kinesiology skills and is continuing to add to her skill base regularly.  Her technique moves through a variety of nutritional balancing, energetic healings, structural balancing, emotional issues and she, like Jacq, can help you to thread together the issues from the past which are creating current health issues – emotionally and structurally. Kat is also being sought out as a kinesiology teacher – you’re in great hands with Kat.

Madonna is more structurally based than Kat & Jacq.  Madonna’s areas of specialties are NOT and LEAP.  NOT is Neural Organisational Technique, a process which helps to realign the spine, remove whiplashes and cranial injuries, rebalance the foot and ankle muscles, hips and shoulders and more.  LEAP is a learning enhancement process which is great for brain integration.  It works through a series of parts of the brain and gets them working one by one.  Both NOT and LEAP are programmes which take time to work through, but are worth the energy.  3 sessions of LEAP do more for the brain than a year of counselling!  3 sessions of NOT is worth 3 months of chiropractic!

An example of our Kinesiology ‘Balances & Treatments’ are:

Allergy Testing: a protocol to find substances: foods, pollutants, additives which are causing health issues

Allergy Treatments: helps to re-set the body energetically so that it may handle allergens/intolerances better

Celestial Circuit Balancing: do you feel like yourself?  Feel beside yourself?  Your centre of gravity may be out of balance…  this is an incredibly powerful technique to bring your energies back into centre…

Emotional Diffusion: the ability of kinesiology to find old emotional patterns and ‘diffuse’ them.

Endocrine Balancing: a specific balance (from NOT) which re-sets the endocrine system – supporting all of your endocrine organs:  adrenals, thyroid,

Heart Healing: when something has happened in your life, which colours every single thing that you do, a heart healing may be appropriate.  It is a huge balance, aimed at increasing your level of ‘consciousness’.  For high level stress.

Immune System Balancing: this improves the function of your immune system, activates your immune system and reduces stress.

LEAP:  a protocol (over many sessions) which progressively works through areas of the brain.  Memory centres, working memory, auditory pathways, visual pathways, balance mechanisms.

Neural Organisational Technique: a process which systematically works through getting better ‘neurology’.  Can help spinal pain, whiplash, scoliosis, jaw & hip problems, feet issues, shoulder pain & more.

Nutritional Balancing: the body can get confused about what it needs nutritionally.  This process works systematically through the minerals & ensures your body is accepting/utilising them.  Often it’s stress that shuts down our absorption.

Whiplash Correction: long term whiplash issues can be resolved through this process. Whiplashes can start long term health issues such as Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia.

Hypnotherapy/Neuro-Linguistic Programming:  this combination, performed by Norm, is exceptionally relaxing, and similar  to kinesiology helps us deal with, and cope with, stress, addictions, weight loss, fear and/or anger issues, OCD, anxiety, sleep issues and more.  It works through the subconscious to

Our Massage Techniques

Reflexology is a natural healing therapy, based on the principle that there are reflex points in the feet, hands and ears (the feet are most commonly the primary area of application), which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. The body is treated through application of pressure on these reflexes without the use of tools, crèmes or lotions. reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body.

Reflexology is able to help with many things, such as;

  • Constipation/Diarrhea
  • Impact on physiological measures (Cholesterol, blood pressure etc)
  • Poor blood circulation
  • Respiratory problems (asthma, allergies)
  • Post operative recovery and pain reduction
  • Mental health issues (depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder)
  • Pregnancy (easier childbirth, delivery, post-partum recovery)
  • Stress
  • All over muscle pain and tension
  • Sleeping problems

Aromatherapy uses essential oils which are aimed at improving a person’s health or mood. Many consider this type of treatment as unscientific and wishful thinking – however, scientific evidence of its effectiveness is growing. The essential oils used in aromatherapy have a different composition compared to other herbal products because the distillation used in aromatherapy recovers the lighter phytomolecules.

The theory behind aromatherapy:  It is believed that the inhalation of essential oils stimulates the part of the brain connected to smell – the olfactory system; a signal is sent to the limbic system of the brain that controls emotions and retrieves learned memories. This causes chemicals to be released which make the person feel relaxed, calm, or even stimulated. If the aromatherapy includes massage the effect is to further relax the person.

Remedial massage: When muscles become knotted and tense or damaged, remedial massage provides a healing treatment that can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow. Remedial massage holistically treats the body. The massage therapist endeavours to identify the original biomechanical dysfunction, thus healing the cause of the disorder, as well as the symptoms. Remedial massage uses several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage to muscles, tendons and joints. Massage therapy supports and speeds up the body’s own repair mechanisms. A lubricating edium (usually oil) is applied directly on the skin. This ensures that the muscles associated with the disorder are deeply penetrated. Passive joint stretching moves are also used.

Hot stone massage: Hot stone massage is a fabulously relaxing massage utilising lomi lomi massage and flat hot stones used in various positions on the body in order to relax, rejuvenate and pamper!

Frequency Specific Microcurrent

Very few practices in Australia have FSM and even fewer run FSM sessions the way we do!!!  FSM is a gentle, yet effective tool, originally developed for pain relief with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.  In the 80’s disc regeneration was developed as well, and since then much research has gone in to perfecting many, many pain protocols.

The technology is similar to MRI scanning – but FSM is used for healing and not for diagnostics (great, huh???)

We have programmes specifically for FSM, and most of our naturopathic programmes include 20-80% off FSM treatments.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” (on or over the body) and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

Allergy Testing

(using Kinesiology N.O.T. technique – for internal allergens, foods,  external allergens, make-up, cleansers etc)

Blood Group

Candida

Celiac

Helicobacter

Insulin Resistance: are you pre-diabetic?

This test is a non-fasting test which lets us see your Cholesteral, LDL, HDL, Trigs and Insulin Resistance – which is not standard in Doctors blood tests…

Live Blood Analysis: You SEE your blood on the screen – live!!!

B12, Iron, essential fatty acids, liver stress, leaky gut, white blood cell activity and count, parasites, infections, auto-immunity, poor immunity, ‘vitality’, inflammation

Ph – your acid/alkalinity

Being too acidic internally is one of the major causes for miscarriage, pain, skin disorders, exhaustion, heart disease and cancer.

Supplement testing (using kinesiology to ask what your body needs/how much.  We have many years experience in using this technique and it’s why our success is far beyond that of many other practitioners – Jacq and Madonna prescribe only what your body tells them you need!)

Urinalysis

Heavy metal testing, ph – acid/alkalinity, cancer pre-cursors, vitamin C, and more.

Urinary Indicans

This lets us know how much ‘bad bacteria’ you have in your gut.  Bad bacteria causes obesity, exhaustion, digestive disturbances and chronic disease.

VLA Cellular Analysis

We use this weekly to fortnightly  in our fat-loss programme to ensure it’s FAT that’s being lost.  Most weight loss programmes destroy muscle mass and dehydrate the body – so rebound weight is inevitable.  Our programme is successful because we treat the whole body, not just count calories or add up points.  You will achieve success if the programme is followed!

Zinc tally

Zinc is important for over 250 liver functions, every hormonal function, energetic pathways, mood hormones  and more…

Allergy Testing in Children: key allergens clinically found…

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Allergy Testing in Children: our chief practitioner in allergy testing and treatments is Jacqueline Dekoke…  Jacq has over 20 years experience in natural health techniques and over 6 years experience specificially in allergies.

Did you know that there are effective natural treatments, with no side effects for allergies in children, and because at our clinic we do kinesiology to find the best treatment for you and your family… we can quickly and easily determine which supplements and treatments will work the fastest.

The key allergens we find in our clinic are:

  • wheat and gluten allergens
  • rice (is becoming a bigger problem as people are steering away from wheat and gluten)
  • eggs (generally because of eggs in vaccinations…)
  • preservatives, colourings and flavours
  • peanuts
  • tree nuts such as cashews
  • dairy proteins and sugars
  • amine allergies – not handling the proteins in foods, usually due to lack of hydrochloric acid in the gut
  • nightshade family of foods
  • salicylates (aspirin like substances in foods which causing leaky gut in sensitive people)
  • town water supplies

There are others, but these are the ones we find the most in children.

Best ways to prevent breast cancer: new research! Madonna Guy Naturopath, Wynnum, Brisbane

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
The right diet of anti-angiogenic foods may be our best weapon in preventing cancer.
Did you know that up to 40 percent of women ages 40 to 50 may have tiny cancers in their breasts—no larger than the tip of a ballpoint pen? Microscopic tumors are forming all the time, but our body’s natural cancer-fighting system usually prevents them from growing large enough to cause harm. A key component of this system is angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels.

“Angiogenesis is what makes the difference between a small, innocuous cancer and a runaway, dangerous disease,” says William Li, MD, president and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation. Already about a dozen drugs battle cancer by keeping blood vessel growth in check (with the usual problems of lots of side-effects), but Li is even more excited by research that shows that adding certain foods to our diet can have a similar effect.

Many of the foods that contain angiogenesis-inhibiting compounds are also rich in antioxidants, which may contribute to their anticancer benefits. But as Li explains, “The jury is still out on whether antioxidants are truly effective at preventing cancer, yet controlling blood vessel growth has been proven to make a profound difference.” Initial study results are startling: Asian-American women who ate soy at least once a week throughout their lives reduced their risk of breast cancer by 60 percent; Chinese women who drank a cup of green tea at least three times a week cut their colon cancer risk by 34 percent. Other natural antiangiogenic foods include red wine, cooked tomatoes, blueberries, garlic, and dark chocolate.

According to Li, future research will focus on which specific varieties of foods are most potent. “We may one day soon be able to pinpoint the exact species of tomato or type of red wine that offers the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to discouraging tumor growth,” he says. “Doctors will truly be able to recommend foods to fight cancer and know they’re having a meaningful effect.”

Vaccination: Pros & Cons from a naturopathic perspective, Madonna Guy, Naturopath, Wynnum Brisbane

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Worried about vaccinations? Most people cope well, without side-effects and have no long-lasting effects.  As a naturopath, I’ve been treating immunity, pre-vaccination care and vaccination side-effects for 15 years.  Vaccinations are a tricky topic, very emotive and can be a huge struggle for parents to feel like they’re making the right decision.

Vaccination Benefits: If someone doesn’t take care of their health, then vaccination is perhaps the best option for them, but it’s people with poor immunity and poor health who are most likely to get the side-effects.  Vaccinations have been around for over 200 years and have without a doubt saved many thousands and thousand of lives over the years.  The theory is that people get close-to-immediate immunity for the specific ‘germ’ they are being treated for.

Most common side-effects of vaccinations: the usual suspects are fevers and vomiting.  Medically speaking, a vaccination side-effect must be reported within 24-48 hours, and the attending physician must ‘agree’ that it’s a side-effect or it doesn’t get reported.  This is how the AMA gets around the possibility of other problems being connected to vaccines.  It is interesting that problems such as Aspergers & Autism have been linked with vaccinations for 20 years or more, and yet they still claim that there’s no connection.  Consider this:  vaccinations by-pass the immune system, by being injected directly into the bloodstream, including all of the delightful vaccination-extras such as mercury, aluminium and formaldehydes.  As preservatives, they are fantastic, and they can last in our bodies for many year.

With 15 years experience, we suspect that vaccinations are linked with many health issues such as:

  • increasing asthma levels
  • auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and hashimotos
  • increasing allergies (1 in 4 in Australia)
  • increasing levels of autism and aspergers
  • poor behaviour, ADD, ADHD and ODD in children
  • poor immunity – constant colds and flus – after all we can’t vaccinate for everything!!!
  • chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia (heavy metals are linked with both)

What can we do to remove vaccination toxins, boost natural immunity and help the brain?

  • frequency specific microcurrent and specific nutrition to remove vaccination toxins
  • LEAP, NOT and other specialised kinesiology techniques to reconnect the brain
  • infrared saunas to boost toxin removal and detoxification from the body
  • using natural therapies, nutritional supplements, micrrocurrent techniques to increase immunity
  • testing processes such as live blood analysis, heavy metal toxicity, urine tests, cellular analysis to find the extent of the toxicity and the oxidative stress, and see improvement as it is being removed.

For more information:

  1. I highly recommend any parents/interested parties to go the the Australian Vaccination Network for more information:  www.avn.org.au
  2. Book in for an appointment with one of our naturopaths: Jacqueline Dekoke ND, Linda Hoggard ND & myself:  we all have extensive experience in coping with either option you choose – being vaccinated or choosing not to.

Pain Relief Without Drugs at New Leaf Natural Therapies

Monday, November 30th, 2009

You can have Pain Relief without drugs at New Leaf Natural Therapies. Our lovely clinic in Wynnum provides a range of services: if you live elsewhere here are some ideas for you to look for when finding a clinic to take care of your pain – you too, can have pain relief without drugs, pain relief without medication!

Find the reasons for your pain and FIX THEM!  What? There are reasons for my pain?  Find a clinic that can do some scientific testing/treatments in order to achieve the following outcomes…

  1. How acidic are you? Knowing this number (both saliva and urinary) and working towards the optimal ph (7.2-7.35) will halt the destruction of joints, bones and organs.  Acidity creates an environment where just about every health problem can be created.  Jacqueline Dekoke ND recently had a client with massive health issues and got his acidity from 5.5 to 7.4 within 4 weeks.  Then the healing can begin!
  2. How much excess fluid is your body holding?  Our VLA  or Bio-impedance analysis machine let’s us know EXACTLY how much fluid is inside the cells and how much fluid is on the outside.  This also let’s us know how much excess fluid your body is holding.  WHY?  Because the body is clever, and it’s trying to dilute toxins, acidity and inflammation.  We find that this process takes some time:  we have trillions of cells in our body and to detoxify each one, takes a lot of time!
  3. Massage therapies:  Find yourself a fabulous massage therapist, like Ms Katherine Lynn or Ms Cherice Day, someone who can put together a treatment plan for you.  If your massage therapist has a plan – then work with them and trust them.  If it doesn’t feel like they’re helping you with your pain relief, then find someone else.  For example, with Alison’s combination of reflexology, remedial massage, shiatsu, lymphatic drainage and acupuncture, she’s a perfect choice – find a passionate massage therapist who’ll get your pain issues under control.
  4. How inflamed are you?  We use several testing processes to find out how inflamed you are:  Live Blood Analysis (signs such as fibrin, rouleaux, blood stickiness, protoplasts, red crystals…); bio-impedance analysis (let’s us know how leaky and stressed your cells are).  Once you know how inflamed your body is you can use natural anti-inflammatories with NO SIDE EFFECTS such as kinex AI, kaprex and inflavonoid intensive care.  We also use Frequency Specific Microcurrent for reducing inflammation and regeneration of joints, ligaments and tendons.

It’s time to find your own natural therapies clinic that can do that for you!

Madonna on the Radio with Alex Bernard 4BC

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Today was great: we had 4 varied calls come in on different topics.  We started chatting about  Thyroid Issues: we see so many sluggish thyroids here in our clinic.  Medically, thyroid issues tend to be undiagnosed until it’s time for medication.  This is actually a good thing, however people can feel pretty exhausted for many years before it’s actually found.  The thyroid is involved in metabolism, when it slows down, it also slows down digestive function, liver function, ability to detoxify and, as most people know, is involved in weight control.  Good naturopaths won’t just ask for you to get blood tests, they’ll take a look and know what’s ‘optimal’ for the thyroid, bring in your tests and we’ll take a look for you!

We also had calls about high and low levels of iron in the blood:  high levels is generally known as hemachromatosis, the medical treatment is basically regular taking of blood.  Naturopathically, we like to treat the liver and help it cope with the excess iron levels so that it doesn’t cause a problem.  Low levels of iron in the blood can obviously cause chronic exhaustion, but is also linked with low blood pressure.  Red blood cells with a low iron count are too small, they don’t drop off oxygen throughout your body effectively, therefore we’re also more likely to develop bugs regularly…  A great supplement we use a lot for this is Hemagenics, which gives a whopping high dose of iron, in an easy to take form.

We also had a woman with a painful spleen.  The spleen is like a big tonsil – it’s a lymphatic cleansing organ of the body, so detoxification processes will help:  lymphatic drainage massage with Alison Honour, Bowen Technique with Jacqueline Dekoke or Madonna Guy; infrared saunas help to mobilise toxins and move blood and lymph throughout our bodies are just a few options to support cleansing the spleen.  Save $$$ by grabbing a 10 pack of infrared saunas in our clinic.

There was a query again about live blood analysis (see separately under ‘our tests and equipment) and a question about pre-diabetes.  It’s important with ‘pre-diabetes’ to start changing diet is a rather large way.  See the article on ‘insulin resistance’ as this gives a huge amount of information.

Until next week,
