Why Creating the Right Breathing Habits can help Cure Illnesses
With Scientific research done globally, it is said and talked about how Dysfunctional breathing habits can cause so many issues within our health. Our body PH levels dictate our health, but I will share with you it doesn’t matter how healthy you eat, how frequently you detox, or even if you drink the most cleansing pH water.
Nevsah Karamehmet Breath Coach assisting an attendee at the Miracle Course
Breath dictates our health and it is the chemistry of our respiratory system and our breathing habits that play the vital role of our everyday life. Having the wrong respiratory habits can demolish our respiratory chemistry. By the chemistry being broken down, our kidneys start to fail which has a huge role in our body as a buffer mechanism and can cause even kidney diseases where the underlying cause maybe wrong breath habits.
By having the wrong chemistry of the respiratory system, it can be being broken down by our breath habits which causes the oxyhaemoglobin levels in our blood to decrease. What does this mean? It means that there is not enough oxygen in cellular respiratory, which creates the lack of the main nutritional ingredient that is necessary for our cells to be alive, to live and to stay healthy.
There are more than 40 anaerobic diseases known today. With wrong breathing habits, this might be the reason behind many diseases as the core cause, while our oxygen levels drops in our blood and cellular respiratory cannot occur. If your body had less than 2 % of oxygen in your blood, it can be fatal! Even a neurologist would share the fatal effect of not carrying enough oxygen in the blood which can then travel up to your brain...
Hypocapnia, which is the result of wrong breath habits, causes vasoconstriction. So, even if there is enough oxygen in the blood, there is a constriction in the brain vessels thus not only headaches, dizziness, memory loss, perception difficulties happen but many more follows.
Nevsah Karamehmet Breath Coach has as her focus optimal breathing for improving health and performance. She is a recognized authority who combines science and spirituality for physical, emotional, mental development and for enhancing psychological well-being.

The Benefits of Trance
by Dr John Butler
It was 14 years ago that I had an inguinal hernia repair surgery. I went to the hospital that day, had a pre-operative check, put on a hospital gown and lay down on a trolley which was wheeled into the operating theatre. Then I put myself into a trance, using self-hypnosis. That took me about two or three minutes. Then the surgeon began to operate. The anaesthetist waited patiently, checking the instruments that measured my vital signs - heartbeat etc.-– in case his services were needed. They were not. I felt pushing and prodding sensations as the surgeon cut through skin and tissue, and then stitched up where the hernia had appeared. I felt no pain. I also felt no fear. I relaxed on the trolley, experiencing a pleasant rest. The procedure was even filmed, and can be viewed on the internet. That evening I went home, and recovered over the following weeks. I took no painkilling medication while recovering.
That was the only time I’ve ever had surgery; however I use trance for many purposes, every day of my life. I use it to program myself to be motivated and positive; I use it to reflect and ruminate when I am forming plans and creative ideas; I use it to become aware of my body, my energy and my health, and to program myself to take care of these aspects of my life; I use it to rest and to recreate. Being in trance, particularly if you use ‘deepening’ methods to intensify the trance, is like being immersed in an infinite energy flow, recharging your batteries by reconnecting to the mains. I have used it for the benefit of my clients in thousands of clinical hypnosis sessions for a great variety of therapeutic goals.
Simply going into trance, remaining there for a while, and coming out again, which is something easily learned and improved with practice, is a beneficial experience. This is called “neutral” trance and has much in common with meditative practices, while being a very straightforward and reliable technique to learn. However, trance provides a mental freedom which enhances clarity of thinking and feeling, so it is an excellent mental medium in which to do therapeutic work, for instance, and also to program yourself with ideas you wish to take root in your personality and behaviour.
The usual name for the method of going into trance and using programming affirmations is hypnosis – this can be done in partnership with another person (the hypnotist), or on your own, when it is called self-hypnosis. A great body of knowledge has been accumulated about this invaluable method and its use in therapy, resulting in techniques and teachings which are straightforward, reliable and powerful when they are used by properly trained, skilled therapists.

Resonance Testing & Personalized Health; Integrated Care for the Chronically Unwell
Bespoke Homoeotherapy is transforming modern health practices. In recent decades, society has witnessed the deterioration of wellness. Chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer are posing hugely problematic for health services. This is largely in part to an ever-more-toxic environment and diminished healthy resources within the body which are constantly weakening immune responses and the general state of well-being. The origins of cellular dysfunction – the root concern of ill health - present a cacophony of obstacles to overcome; impaired pathways of elimination, malnutrition, diminished microbiome, pathogens, stress, injuries, toxicity and poor limbic health. Homoeotherapy, combining homoeopathy and individualised evaluation, offers both preventative and therapeutic care strategies. If making people feel better is the objective, Kinesiology holds a key to the answer.
We are witnessing shifts throughout the CAM Practitioner landscape, which has seen a rise in muscle testing popularity and the practical relevance of homoeopathic stimulation. The consequences of toxicity, from parasitic invaders, Lyme’s Disease, food intolerances, pesticides, overuse of antibiotics, chronic anxiety and common environmental toxins, is fuelling chronic and pathological health complications. By embedding harmful toxicants throughout cells, tissues and organs, the body is continuously on high alert, fighting to maintain order in an unsteady environment of poor nutrient recognition and under-performing organs and systems.
Detox - Remineralize - Restore
Through natural and holistic principles, Bespoke Homoeotherapy is accepting the challenge of dis-ease and successfully improving client outcomes. Kinesiology provides an efficient tool to evaluate physical, physiological and psychological states of health. Kinetic awareness provides an insightful measure of the body’s vibrational responses and can provide key markers for structural, emotional, biochemical and energetic imbalances. The objective of utilising Kinesiology, or any diagnostic tool like Resonance devices or dowsing, is to individualize a person's health strategy and tailor a specific program to address their priority health needs. These skills are enabling practitioners to refine and specify the exact nature of the imbalance and address underlying cellular problems through the art of Homoeotherapy.
Recent successes, like the New Horizons Conference in London, showcase the science behind CAM paradigms and the relevance of using traditional medicine philosophies. Lord Ken Ward-Atherton, Conference Chairman and Organizer, introduced a host of international scientists whose findings support the CAM community in terms of research and results. Hiding behind the mask of ignorance lurks missed opportunities to propel healthcare to a new and improved attainable level. Current initiatives are already under way to build a more stable and educational platform for Integrated Health Reform.
Creating the Best Environment
Bespoke Homoeotherapy provides a thorough approach to cellular inadequacies, emotional stress, functional disturbances and toxicity. The quality of the body and its surrounding environment is fundamental to strong vitality and good health. Intracellular and extracellular responses are supported and directed through homoeopathy, nutrition, flower essences and herbs. Teamed with Kinesiology, this complete care program prioritises each client, restoring resources, natural biorhythms and order.

How can We be More Resilient?
Hawkwood Centre for Future Thinking
A place to grow – a place to create – a place for conversation
In a world that appears increasingly turbulent, islands of sanity are much needed. Where can we turn to find the confidence, skills and resources to truly thrive? One place is Hawkwood Centre for Future Thinking near Stroud in the Cotswolds.
“Our vision is to help people to flourish and discover their potential whether it’s in their personal or professional life, through learning new skills, becoming absorbed in music, crafts or movement and meditation practice,” says Katie Lloyd-Nunn, programme manager of the charity which is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. “All our courses are hands-on and experiential and guided by high profile, exceptional leaders as well as new-generation teachers and innovators.”
Silence, rest and renewal are strong themes in the Inner Life autumn to winter retreats programme. “Deep winter is a time for slowing down, becoming still, and moving towards contemplation” says Mel Skinner who leads Rest and Restore new year retreat in early January 2019. “The aim on this retreat is to let yourself move at your own. You may be surprised by how tired you really are!”
Herewood Gabriel – Soulscapes Painting Day at Hawkwood 9 Dec
Working with the hands with crafts or painting can help those who suffer from anxiety, depression or chronic pain, experts say. It can also improve hand-eye coordination, ease stress, increase happiness and protect the brain from aging. Neuroscientists are beginning to see how finely detailed work like embroidery induce a natural state of “zen” or mindfulness. Hawkwood’s arts and crafts courses range from one-day tasters to immersive retreats in icon painting or life drawing.
“Passion, excitement and commitment to a cause also brings purpose to our life,” says Katie Lloyd-Nunn, who bubbles with enthusiasm that belies her 60+ years on earth. “ I find that it’s often through conversation with others that I uncover what I know and what I believe. Being with others with an open mind, open listening and willingness to be authentic can be a great way to resolve conflict and forge togetherness; it helps to build confidence towards positive action; it hones our critical faculties and listening skills; it makes us present.”
Hawkwood's Centre for Future Thinking programme provides a space for people to come together to explore their own and society's values, and to question and debate the future of a rapidly changing world. We welcome leading speakers, philosophers and creatives to share their vision of how we can make the world a better place.

Alexander Technique and Cycling
I was cycling in the alps on a climb between Geneva and Annecy when I realized the value of applying the Alexander Technique to cycling. Like many cyclists, I dreaded climbing any steep incline. But after six months of Alexander Technique lessons this changed. My moment of epiphany came as I climbed to a beautiful alpine pass behind a local cyclist. I realised my idea of what was required to climb hills on a bike; pushing down hard and tensely with my leg muscles, was wrong and was preventing my legs from rotating freely. I needed to increase the energy to my legs but not with effort and tension. Watching this fellow cyclist moving with good use, coupled with the increased awareness I had from Alexander Technique lessons helped me find a way. Since then hills and mountains have never daunted me, and I’ve even cycled the Andes.
Not long after this experience, I trained as an Alexander Technique teacher and was keen to share my discoveries on two wheels. In addition to my regular practice I run workshops applying the Alexander Technique to cycling. I use a cycle trainer, which is a piece of equipment that holds a bike in a stationary position and a mirror, to show clients their riding position.
Two recent cases illustrate the value of applying the Alexander Technique to cycling. A triathlon competitor came to me with back pain which she felt was made worse by cycling. We set up her bike on the stand and it became clear that she was hunching her back strongly as she rode. I helped her to use her back in a more lengthened way. Becoming aware of how the back is supported from the bike seat through the seat bones and up through the spine towards the crown of the head as a whole piece rather than curving at the waist helped.
Another client was experiencing neck and shoulder pain. When we set up his bike in the cycle trainer I noticed he was gripping the handlebars very tightly. This had the effect of tightening and tensing the whole arm and shoulder area and even affecting the neck. It is possible to allow your hands to rest gently on the handlebars using a light touch for steering. It is helpful to think of having a two way flow up your arm; the arms are raising and supporting the body as well as connecting down to the handlebars. They are engaged at full length but not tense, rigid or braced.
Contact me at the Bloomsbury Alexander Technique Centre if you’d like more information about small group workshops or individual sessions on improving your cycling technique.

Migraine – Help with Natural Migra-Cap Device
What is Migraine?
More than just a bad headache, a migraine is in fact a debilitating neurological condition. As well as the intense throbbing headache, sufferers can experience what is known as Classic or Common Migraine lasting from several hours to several days.
Symptoms can include:
Classic Migraine (with aura)
- Visual disturbances include blind spots, flashing lights and zig-zag patterns, or confusion, inability to concentrate, problems with co-ordination, or tingling, pins and needles or numbness on the affected side. These symptoms, known as aura are most often identified with Migraine but in fact only about 10-15% of sufferers experience them.
Common Migraine (without aura)
- Intense throbbing headache, often on one side of the head only
- Nausea and/or vomiting and/or diarrhoea
- Increased sensitivity to light, sounds or smells
Who is affected by Migraine?
In theory, anyone can suffer with Migraine. There are over six million sufferers in the UK alone, approx 1 in 10 people of which nearly 70% are women. There is also a genetic link so if one parent is a sufferer there is a 50% chance that a child will inherit the condition.
What causes Migraine?
Studies suggest that Migraine is triggered by the release into the bloodstream of the neurotransmitter serotonin – the chemical messenger in the brain linked to mood, sleep and pain. This causes changes in the size of the blood vessels and neurotransmitters in the brain leaving to the symptoms mentioned.
Exactly what causes this to happen is still a subject for research and debate, however there are a number of migraine danger points which are likely to trigger an attack in sufferers.
Migraine triggers include:
- Environmental Factors – Pollution
- Dietary Factors - Chocolate, Dairy Products, Alcohol, Excess Caffeine, Lack of Food
- Hormonal Factors – Menstruation, High Blood Pressure, Toothache or Sinus Problems
- Emotional Factors – Tension, Stress, Anxiety
- Physical Factors – Travel, Exertion, Lack of Sleep
Cures?
Migraines have a substantial impact on both personal and working life. Migraines account for approximately 57 million working days of absenteeism, costing the economy almost £32billion when added to medical expenses. Sadly there is as yet no miracle cure but it is possible to bring the condition under control. Many people treat their Migraine with simple pain killers purchased from the chemist or prescribed by their GP. Many sufferers feel dependent on medication and appreciate the availability of a non-drug alternative; Cold and dark therapy, herbal remedies, homeopathy, acupuncture, reflexology, aromatherapy, and various techniques which encourage relaxation have been helpful for some people.

Theragem Crystal Light Therapy’s for a Rapid Response
Autumn this year has already started with its usual abundance of common colds, coughs, and sneezes putting several people off to bed. At the same time the influenza programs and flu shots are being offered via the media and CDC programs prepared as the effects of flu hitting are tried to be kept within reasonable limits.
In the USA alone, the flu jabs advertisements are rampant ranging from almost free with your lottery ticket to every other ad on the tv to get your jab. That even though a wealth of news is being disclosed putting vaccines under heavy scrutiny as they contain unnatural substances undermining the wellness of the physical body. Just recently it came out that numerous top vaccine scientists in New Mexico working for US government on the science of vaccination, do not allow their children to be vaccinated.
Add to that the amount of stress we are all suffering, due to unstable environment on many different levels, insufficient rest, food deprived of its healthy elements, pressure to perform and much more aiding in a physical, emotional and mental unstable health and wellness.
Of course, there are many things we can do in advance to boost our health and wellbeing with our own fresh preparation of food, supplementation and enough amounts of sunshine and rest.
Aiding to that British manufacturer of integrative non-invasive equipment Medica Health International has designed non-invasive equipment fusing natural substances such as crystals, colours, metals, and sounds together with frequencies for those who choose a different approach to go through the flu season in the most optimum balance and homeostasis. Since every living cell and being has an electromagnetic field that is reliant on bioelectricity for their metabolic processes which have been mapped by well-known scientists and compiled in the consolidated annotated frequency list - CAFL, using a similar frequency will counteract and this has shown to be highly effective in dissolving the harmful microorganisms.
With Theragem Fusion Light therapy, the impact of relaxing and boosting the immune system within twenty minutes of therapy is quick, easy and very gentle. Now you can request a specific therapy called ‘Rapid Response’ that addresses all influenza frequencies and it only takes an hour and a half to complete. At the same time the whole therapy boosts all levels physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, addressing the root cause for dis-ease. Theragem technology allows the earth itself to assemble all goodies and transfer that to anyone having the therapy, creating a strong biological terrain where it is easy to ward off any of the infiltrators.
Or as one client of a therapist said, ‘It is like having a holiday of two weeks!’

Sayer Complementary Health - Nutrition and Homeopathy for Optimum Health
When I have been asked if, as a homeopath, I specialize in any particular area of health, my answer has always been that I did not feel I needed to because I worked with a wide range of health issues as determined by the person who had sought help whatever the age or ailment.
I have often reflected on the clients who had sought my help and found that their issues could be anything from ladies suffering with menstrual disorders, pregnancy issues, digestive disturbances, insomnia, migraines, coughs/colds, hay fever, skin problems etc.
What has become more apparent in the last five years is the change in the reasons clients are now seeking my services whether it is homeopathic and/or nutritional guidance, in particular for young children who have been diagnosed with behavioural issues such as autistic spectrum disorder, ADD, ADHD, Tourette’s, ‘depression’ and even self-harm. I use the term ‘depression’ very lightly but have found the number of children falling into this category is increasing. Conventional medication has helped some children but other parents report that it has not and therefore a gentler more natural approach is sought, particularly when a medication such as Ritalin has side-effects listed as anorexia, tics, depression, irritability (to name a few) as listed in the British National Formulary.
So now I find that my practice is becoming more specialized and from my perspective the earlier these problems are looked into the better it is for the young person because as they approach puberty they may discover that coupled with the natural hormonal changes associated with growing up their behavioural issues may escalate.
When a client seeks help for either themselves or their child, a full in-depth case history is taken in order to determine the underlying reason for the presenting complaint. Time and patience is important in order to give the remedies the best chance of working – one thing homeopathy doesn’t do is offer a ‘quick fix’ solution.
I am passionate about helping people to achieve and maintain a better state of health with the aid of homeopathy and nutrition and hold consultations either in person from my practice in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex or via Skype/Facetime/WhatsApp.
Should you be interested in how homeopathy can help you or a member of your family or maybe you are interested in learning more about this non-addictive, non-toxic natural form of medicine that has been in existence for over 250 years, I would be very happy to talk to you.

Yoga Therapy for Digestive Health
by Charlotte Watts
Published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. 2018. Paperback. £24.99. $32.69. ISBN: 9781848193543.
Digestive issues are widespread and prove difficult to address through mainstream medicine. Senior yoga teacher Charlotte Watts sheds light on the connection between the gut and the brain, explains the links between stress, trauma and digestive issues and demonstrates how yoga with its focus on stilling the mind can have profound effects on conditions such as IBS, IBD, acid reflux, colitis, diverticulitis and more. Breath awareness allows the breath to drop into the belly and diaphragm, essential for good digestive function and understanding the fascial connections within the viscera help shape movement that enables optimal function.
Fully illustrated with clear diagrams and instructions, this volume provides yoga, movement and medical professionals with a solid understanding of the digestive system in relation to breath, mindfulness, posture, anatomy, movement, stress and trauma. It helps them to apply this knowledge to their practice and teaching approach.10-20% of the UK population are affected by IBS at any given time, and other digestive issues are also common.
Charlotte Watts is a senior yoga teacher and award-winning Nutritional Therapist, specializing in stress related and digestive issues. Stress is a major factor in digestive issues and yoga's focus on stilling the mind can have profound effects on digestive health. There has been a rise in media interest in the gut-brain axis in recent years. New research into the fascia, stress, trauma and sensory connections with digestive issues is a hot topic for yoga therapists.
“Here is an in insightful and illuminating examination of the role digestive health plays in physical and mental vitality. Charlotte Watts takes on a subject that is all too often overlooked- the state of the gut- and details its key function in the health of the bodymind. For yogis and non-yogis alike, this book is an invaluable resource to help support the ecology of the digestive system.” - Tias Little, author of Yoga of the Subtle Body
“At a perfectly timed moment within the evolution of our understanding of the significance of digestive health toward improved wellbeing comes a book that offers thorough, accessible and informed guidance of the treatment of your body and mind. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in diet and the addressing of digestive related issues, and for those involved in the teaching, therapy and practice of personal wellbeing.”
- Simon Low, The Yoga Academy principal and international yoga teacher

Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness
by Thomas Cowan MD, Foreword by Sally Fallon Morell
Published by Chelsea Green Publishing. 2018. Hardback. £11.87 /$17.36. ISBN: 1603587772.
One doctor’s answer to the epidemic of autoimmunity and chronic disease - for the reader wanting to look beyond the vax/anti-vax debate and delve deeper into the latest research in medicine, parenting, the microbiome and more.
Over the past 50 years, rates of chronic health conditions in children like asthma, eczema, digestive disorders, autism and many more have exploded. Currently, 1 in 2.5 American children has an allergy, 1 in 11 has asthma, and 1 in 36 has autism. These numbers represent a national emergency, and veteran family doctor Thomas Cowan is asking “what the hell is going on?”
In Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness, Dr Cowan attributes these skyrocketing rates to a drop in acute infectious childhood diseases, which serve to ‘train’ the immune system in early development. He looks at emerging evidence that suggests certain childhood illnesses can protect against disease later in life, and examines the role of fever, the microbiome, and cell structure in immune health. Dr Cowan argues that vaccination is an ineffective (and harmful) attempt to shortcut a complex immune response and explains in detail what is really happening to a child’s immune system when they receive a vaccination.
Cowan’s thoughtfully bold writing takes us on a journey in to the history of illness, along the way questioning commonly held views of cell biology, the role of water in the body, and the spatial and spiritual components of autism. Additionally, he provides hope of recovery in the form on a nontoxic treatment plan for those suffering from chronic disorders.
