April Newsletter

Hello to all our patients and friends

I am amazed at how fast this year is going. We have just held our quarterly competition for the Most Referrals to the clinic and are thrilled to announce the winner of the first section of our yearly competition. This lovely lady is to receive a $500 Coles/Myer Card for all the work she has put in on our behalf. We want you all to know how much we appreciate your efforts for the clinic and we feel this is one of the best ways to show it.

Our new winner is ANGIE SBRANA of Merrimac.

Thank you once again Angie.

I would like to introduce you to the newest member of our little team – Raelene Hanlon. Raelene will help Diane and myself where we need assistance.

I have been busy training in a new modality “Biomesotherapy”. It consists of using homeopathic products and the stimulation of specific points in the body with a saline solution. Most of these injections are given under the skin or in the muscle. Although these products have been in Germany (and the rest of the world) for several decades, it is relatively new to Australia . Biomesotherapy is about activating the extracellular matrix – so it can be used for many complaints. It is traditionally used to activate detoxification and stimulate the activation of particular organs and cells. For more information please contact Diane.

There has been a warning in the Gold Coast papers that there is the possibility of a Ross River epidemic following the heavy rains of summer. So be aware of the dangers of mosquitos in your area – avoid them as much as possible. Check around your house for any stale pools of water where the mosquito can breed. Ross River is so cruel and can leave a patient with crippling symptoms.

Many patients suffering with Dandruff can cause embarrassment when it falls on dark clothing and the particles of dead skin adhere to hair strands. Very often Candida Albicans can be the cause. If dandruff is accompanied by regular headaches or a stiff neck it is possible that there is a subluxation of the cervical bones in the neck Jojoba oil is one of the best products for treating dandruff and should be massaged into the scalp two or three times a week. The aroma of Jojoba is not unpleasant but to improve upon the fragrance a drop of rosewood, sometimes a drop of sandalwood or clary sage is added.

To relieve headaches – a quick and easy method is to run your right thumb down the outside of your left index finger till you feel the base of the finger near the web of the left thumb. Hold this point and gently massage and it will ease the pain in your head.

Lavender oil is a sedative and is a wonderful relief when applied to the temples to calm the nerves and ease the tensions in the head. Lavender oil put on a handkerchief and placed under the pillow can often help induce sleep.

This is a bad news – good news section. Due to the heavily increased cost of Hicaps we are no longer able to provide this service. Diane and I talked about the increases and rather than pass these costs onto you and because only a few Health Funds were participating we decided to return to the previous facility. You will be able to claim all consultations against your Private Health Fund as before.

Again, I congratulate Angie on winning our Competition and thank her for her confidence in recommending friends and family to the Clinic. To the rest of our patients and friends that work on our behalf we do appreciate it and we will continue to send vouchers to each and every one of you who makes a recommendation.

If you are please with the results and the service received from the Clinic I would appreciate if you would take the time and write us a testimonial. So many people read them on our Internet site, ring us and ask many questions, it stimulates interest in Natural Therapies, not only in our area, but in other countries also. Natural Therapies can only improve its services with more and more people gaining interest.

With love

Barbara
