A little over two decades ago, a new herbal supplement names Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), an aquatic botanical, made it’s appearance on the market place. Rapidly, AFA became popular for the wide variety of health benefits reported by consumers. Over the years we identified the presence in AFA of various compounds such as phycocyanin, a strong natural anti-inflammatory compound, a polysaccharide supporting immune function, and phenylethylamine (PEA), a molecule known as the “molecule of love”, which increases mental clarity and provides a sense of well being. Nevertheless, in spite of the identification of these various components, many health benefits reported by consumers remained unexplained.
At the turn of the 21st Century, data began appearing in the scientific literature describing the potential of embryonic stem cells (ESC).ESC were shown to have the ability to become any kind of cells in the body. Soon after, studies revealed that adult stem cells (ASC) also had the ability of becoming virtually any kind of cells in the body.
When this discovery was made, we hypothesized that ASC constituted the natural renewal system of the body, and we published this hypothesis in the journal, Medical Hypothesis (October 2002). Our idea at the time was this: if ASC indeed constituted the natural renewal system of the body, with ASC being able to become any cell type of the body, then supporting this process could lead to a wide variety of health benefits. Given the broad spectrum of benefits reported by AFA consumers, we simply hypothesized that AFA was supporting aspects of stem physiology.
With this idea in mind, we initiated a series of laboratory experiments and soon discovered that consumption of large quantity of AFA (greater than 5 grams) increased the number of circulating stem cells by up to 30%. As we pursued our investigations to identify the compound in AFA responsible for this effect, we actually identified two specific compounds supporting both the release of stem cells from the bone marrow and their migration out of the blood into tissues. We then proceeded to concentrate these compounds out of AFA, achieving 5:1 concentrates for both compounds, and blended these compounds to make StemEnhance. One gram of StemEnhance supports the release of stem cells from the bone marrow and increases the number of circulating stem cells by up to 30%. StemEnhance also concentrates phycocyanin and PEA, other important compounds found in AFA.
StemEnhance is a natural product made of 100% organic AFA and manufactured in accordance with GMP regulations. The powder is encapsulated and bottled in a pharmaceutical grade facility, providing the highest quality possible. Each lot of Stem Enhance is tested for any potential contaminants, according to a stringent quality control program.
When asked why would one want to take StemEnhance, the answer is simply to support the body’s natural process of maintaining optimal health. Supporting stem cell physiology everyday by increasing the number of circulating stem cells is one of the wisest decisions one can make to regain and maintain optimal health.

There is so much natural support available today for anxiety & panic attacks at our specialist naturopathic clinic in Wynnum, Brisbane. Natural supplements and treatments work for anxiety and panic attacks, no doubt about it. The length of time it takes to get it under control depends on how long the condition has been there and how deeply ingrained it is, but it’s time to get started.
Anxiety and panic attacks are linked to a fragmented nervous system. Under stress, there is a lack of connection between conscious and unconscious parts of the brain, the neurotransmitters don’t function properly, we get put into a ‘deep survival pattern’ where the brain simply can’t see things clearly.
We help anxiety and panic attacks with a multi-faceted approach. Natural supplements which tone the nervous system, calm the stress hormones (cortisol, adrenalin and noradrenalin), increase feel good hormones (serotonin, gaba, dopamine) are crucial. The brain is often inflamed due to toxic stress hormones, anesthetics, drug residue, vaccine toxins, pesticides and herbicides, plastics and more. We have tests to find out if these are important to be dealt with.
Kinesiology and Frequency Specific Microcurrent are part of our approach for ridding the body of anxiety and panic attacks. Old triggers and stressors can be activated at a moment’s notice when the brain feels the same emotion, stress or hormone. Kinesiology and Frequency Specific Microcurrent effectively reduce the number of stress patterns in the brain.
We can definitely help with Anxiety and Panic Attacks:
- calm the nervous system
- improve brain function
- reduce old stress patterns
- relax with meditation and/or yoga classes
- deal with other health problems which may be linked
Talk to us today about getting your anxiety and panic attacks under control.

Have you been worried about your arthritis or the drugs you need to take to reduce your pain? We can help, right here in our beautiful professional clinic in Wynnum, Brisbane! With our Chronic Pain Programme you can use simple naturopathic treatments such as natural pain products and Frequency Specific Microcurrent to get you on your way!
Normal medical tests often miss out on some basic information that can really create an environment in your body where arthritis will just continue. Our naturopathic tests such as live blood analysis, our urine and blood tests and our cellular analysis (VLA) give loads of information that we can then work on with you to improve!
- how acidic are you??? We often see people 200 x more acidic then they should be, that means the minerals (calcium & magnesium) are being pulled from your bones, making them more brittle;
- how hydrated are you? The less hydrated the more acidic and inflamed your body is – see point 1!!
- where is your BMI? If your body mass index is over 30 (20% higher than perfect weight), the body is an inflammatory, stress creating, insulin resistant machine. That means that you’ll be more inflamed and acidic…
Are you seeing a pattern here? Therefore we work on, you guessed it, inflammation and acidity!!! Our frequency specific microcurrent machine helps to target specific areas of the body and reduces inflammation such as joints, tendons, bursa, joints, vertabra etc.
Talk to us today, and fix your arthritis! In our Chronic Pain Programme (payment plan) you also get other benefits such as:
- 1/2 price massage therapies with Katheine Lynn & Cherice Day (until we are fully booked)
- 1/2 price kinesiology sessions
- 1/2 price infrared saunas
- 1/2 price allergy testing and treatments with Jacqueline Dekoke and lots more!!!

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.

There have been new government regulations enforced this year in relation to allergy testing and treatments and is targeting natural therapy clinics.
There have been several natural health clinics targeted for doing allergy testing and treatments in Brisbane this year due to new government regulations. The government position is that ‘There is no treatment for allergies’, therefore anyone claiming that they treat allergies will be targeted. These clinics have been asked to write to each and every one of their past clients stating that allergies cannot be treated. So, can allergies be treated??
What Can New Leaf Natural Therapies do to help Allergies, sensitivities and intolerances?
We start with an initial live blood analysis to get an idea about how allergic your body is. The eosinophils (white blood cells) are the allergy-markers, and the higher the percentage of the eosinophills, the more allergic your body is. We can also see ‘how active’ your immune system is – since the blood is live, we see ‘movement’ of the white blood cells within 10 minutes or so, so we will know whether or not your immune system is functional, or whether it needs support. The less functional immunity, the less likely your body can deal with other things like bacteria, parasites, viruses, viral particles AND dealing with cancer cells.
As eosinophils are only in the blood for 3 hours (once released they travel through the blood to the area where the allergic reaction is taking place), if people suspect an allergy, for example wheat or dairy, we often ask them to eat some before their visit to see how raised the levels are. If the eosinophil level is normal, we know that it’s not an allergy to those foods.
We use a combination of natural supplements which help to boost natural immunity and reduce the number of eosinophils. There are 3 key types of cells involved in this process – Th1 cells are suppressed, Th2 cells (allergic process) are raised and Th3 cells are dysfunctional. This is the key to good health and wellbeing, and an immune system which is working beautifully.
Jacqueline Dekoke ND, Linda Hoggard ND and Madonna Guy ND all have many years of experience in dealing with the underlying causes of allergies, balancing the immune system and cleansing the body of toxins which may upset the balance of the immune system.

Are there any side-effects of natural therapies? Having been in the industry for 20 years I have a lot of thoughts on this. People respond in different ways to different therapies.
Imagine an elderly person, on many medications, who has her first massage in years: a gentle relaxation massage. Imagine some of the muscle starting to release toxins – inflammatory hormones being released into the bloodstream, coupled with a lack of hydration since medications dehydrate the system so much! Link that to a huge magnesium deficiency created by a lifetime of poor diet, excess tea and coffee and depletion via the medication and you end up with pain after a massage… a side-effect???
There needs to be support for natural therapies for pensioners! The only healthcare the elderly can often afford is medical drugs with it’s huge government assistance. It’s devastating for us to speak to people every single day who cannot afford our services and yet they get unhealthier and unhealthier following a ‘medical lifestyle’! This needs to be changed!
