Do you have blood sugar highs and lows?  Insulin Resistance can be a huge contributor to pain: causing us to store fluid, become more acidic, be more inflamed… and doctors RARELY find it!

We work with many weight loss challenges in our clinic, and insulin resistance is huge!  We have a small blood analysis machine that tells us on the spot how ‘insulin resistant’ someone is.  This is a pre-diabetic condition which medically doesn’t get picked up due to the fact that it’s NOT diabetes.  Medically (and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this) they are always waiting for tests to be bad enough to 1. put us on medication; 2. send us to a specialist or 3. operate.

I tell my clients all the time ‘thank goodness they didn’t find anything!!’.  Insulin resistance means that the cells are not taking in insulin easily and/or the internal mechanism of the cell which deals with insulin isn’t working.

One of my clients yesterday has been exercising his butt off, changing his diet and weight hasn’t come off.  Yesterday his insulin resistance was huge (about 6x maximum level for ’safe’ insulin levels - no wonder his body isn’t losing weight.  The small amounts of carbohydrates he’s having (fruits, rice crackers, bread…hmmm, and cereals) are simply storing as fat.  His body can’t handle them at the moment.

By the way, insulin is a very inflammatory hormone when out of whack - it can be a major cause of obesity, heart disease, diabetes and pain.

Luckily we have some fabulous products which help reverse insulin resistance.

We gladly welcome another remedial massage therapist, Cherice Day back to the fold at New Leaf.  Cherice worked at New Leaf prior to working in New Zealand expanding her skills.  Along with her initial diploma in remedial massage training around 4 years ago, she has continued to update her skills with Chinese cupping techniques, reflexology and lymphatic drainage.

We have the complete solution to getting you balanced and structurally sound. Many practitioners only focus on one thing:  emotional stability, the spine, the muscles…  We work together a programme, a series of sessions which help to work on every part of your body to get you right, long term!

• using frequency specific microcurrent to reduce inflammation and support regeneration of different areas of the body
• using structural balancing with our Musculo Skeletal Therapist, Katherine Lynn and Structural Kinesiology techniques with Madonna Guy & Jacqueline Dekoke, to ensure the body is not ‘pulling’ in the wrong directions
• getting your feet right - we do foot manipulation and re-setting the foot proprioceptors so that the feet are sending the correct messages to the brain, and the other 600+ muscles of the body that the feet impact on every day
• using remedial massage to relax and tone your muscles with Katherine Lynn & Cherice Day
• Our Chronic and Acute Pain Programmes include highly discounted sessions of frequency specific microcurrent, remedial massage, infrared saunas & structural kinesiology.

So come in and start the process of getting balanced!!!

The digestive tract is the first out of four of our body’s major filters: the first of the Foundations of Health!

Would you have ever considered that chronic pain can be linked with poor digestion?  Well, let’s take a look at components withing the digestive tract and symptoms which are linked to pain:

• parasites,
• lack of good acids to break down foods,
• small intestine bacterial overgrowth,
• viral and bacterial particles,
• undigested food particles.  All of these create ‘bad acids’ in the body

Symptoms of poor digestion are huge and include the obvious symptoms of:

• bloating, burping, belching, wind, flatulence, diarrhoea, constipation
• reflux and heartburn
• allergies: eczema, dermatitiis, hayfever, sinusitis
• chronic coughs
• headaches and migraines
• chronic  fatigue and fibromyalgia, just to name a few…

Just about any long term health condition is linked with poor digestion: think of bones and muscles - what are they made out of: we are what we eat, but moreso, we are what we digest!  So if we can’t break down our proteins and fats, we can’t repair our muscles and nerves.  If we can’t break down our veggies and fruit, we can’t utilise the nutrients and keep our cells clean and healthy.  Get the picture.  Digestion is everything.

It takes many months to cleanse the digestive tract properly…  Parasites, for example, can be everywhere:  the gut, the liver, the bloodstream - the more we have the longer it takes.  We can even have parasites in the brain and nervous systems, so it’s not something that can done quickly.  In fact, the killing off of parasites, the process itself needs to include natural anti-inflammatory substances and immune boosting substances since the membranes of the parasites release about 30x more toxins than the parasites themselves.

Parasites, fungus, candida and bacterial overgrowth can all take some time to cleanse, and then we start the process of healing the leaky gut.  Then we start to deal with the liver, once the gut is feeling strong enough to cope with the onslaught of toxins we’re about to release through the liver.

All in all it really does take 9-12 months of taking you step-by-step through the process…  but the digestive process itself takes about 3 months or so (although if the leaky gut has been long-term some gut support can be recommended long-term…)

Cleaning Your Body’s Filters (the Foundations of Health) is crucial for long-term pain relief:  these are your digestive tract (stomach, small & large intestine); your liver; your immune system (lymphatics & spleen) and your kidneys.  These work from one to another and if one is clogged, the others can’t possibly function properly. Long-term pain relief needs to be a full body process, the better it functions at this core level, the less pain we’ll be in!

For long-term pain relief these Foundations of Health filters must be cleansed and kept cleaned.  To cleanse the Foundations of Health properly takes time, and most cleansing products and programmes barely even touch the surface, and pain continues.

What do we feel when we are in pain?  Aching in the muscles and bones?  Burning acidic pain?  Throbbing, stabbing pain?  A constant nagging in the nerves and muscles?  It doesn’t matter what a condition is diagnosed as: fibromyalgia, frozen shoulder, peripheral neuropathy, arthritis…  when it comes down to it our bodies are not functioning properly, we’re not cleansing our Foundations of Health and toxins and acids are building up in our body - when these toxins and acids can’t be released, they attach to the muscles, nerves, bones, spinal cord, cell membranes - these degenerate and deteriorate these tissues and cause pain.  These toxins then lead to other chronic health problems such as depression and stress, anxiety, weight gain & obesity and more.

Last week we had a clients with a combination of Frozen Shoulder and Peripheral Neuropathy.  Within 2 treatments of Frequency Specific Microcurrent - reducing inflammation in the nerves, joints and muscles, there has been significant pain relief and more movement!  It will be sometime until she is well, but we have already started the detoxification process in the nerves and muscles.  Medically this would never happen, and pain drugs are the only option.  Scary huh?

In my next blog I’ll talk about the parts to cleansing these Foundations of Health and again, why it is so necessary!

Until then,

p.s. Our Foundations of Health Programme is a 9-12 month programme designed to cleanse these systems; reduce weight and pain; increase health and vitality; and extend life!  Both myself and Jacqueline Dekoke ND are fully trained in taking you through our programme.  The programme includes specialised supplementation, treatments such as Frequency Specific Microcurrent; various detoxifying massage processes such as Lymphatic Drainage and Remedial Massage with our fantastic therapist Alison Honour; Infrared Saunas to pull toxins out of every cell in the body and more.

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 Alison Honour, 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!
