AdaptoFleur™ A Proprietary Blend Of Flower Essences Based On Chinese Medicine

by Clare G Harvey

 The Adaptofleur ™ Proprietary Range is designed to directly address the mind/body interchange in our energy system. Based on the ancient principles of Chinese Medicine and the Bare Foot Doctors ethos, who like the Aboriginals and Dr Bach understood, there is a correlation of how each organ is directly affected by and responds to the thoughts and emotions of a person both positive and negative. As the Aboriginal’s say: where the mind and emotions go the body soon follows!

The Adaptofleur™ Body Organ Targeted remedies are developed from flowers sourced from the Australian wilderness, to address not only the state, balance and smooth flowing of chi in the organs, accessed via the meridian system, but also encompass the Eight Principal patterns and the Five Element theory, both of which are the foundation of Chinese medicine and Acupuncture. In particular the five element theory approach recognizes that the emotional and mental state of mind has a direct effect on the optional functioning of the organs of the body, i.e. anger and frustration effects the workings of the liver and gallbladder whereas grief has a oppressive effect on the lungs, the kidneys are associated with fear and Shock and Stress have a detrimental effect on the Immune system

Neutrient Total C – Harnessing the Power of Natural Ingredients to Optimize the Beneficial Effects of Vitamin C

Total C is a practitioner strength, high potency formula providing dramatically intensified nutritional support for immune resilience, skin radiance, energy reserves and a positive mood and mindset. The advantage of Total C compared to a standard vitamin C product lies in its unique formula of high-quality ingredients, specifically chosen to optimise the absorption and uptake of vitamin C.

https://www.abundanceandhealth.co.uk/en/neutrient/156-neutrient-total-c.html

Available to purchase  in early November

 

Each Total C capsule contains a dynamic blend of four buffered forms of vitamin C including fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate plus additional ascorbic acid. It also has added D-ribose, DHQuercetin and Bioperine® which synergistically support vitamin C absorption and effectiveness. The magnesium and sodium blend provides a non-acidic buffered matrix for the vitamin C, which reduces the acidity of the product and potential negative impact on the stomach during digestion. One capsule daily provides:

• 750 mg vitamin C including:
  Magnesium ascorbate 200mg, sodium ascorbate 200mg, ascorbic acid 200mg , ascorbyl palmitate 140mg, zinc ascorbate 10mg;
  40mg D-ribose, a naturally occurring simple sugar involved with cellular ATP production;
  10mg DH-quercetin (A flavonoid extracted from larch). Studied for its potential anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties;
  5mg Bioperine® (black pepper extract), shown to increase nutrient absorption.

Maximized Delivery

Effective nutrient uptake is the key to the success of Total C. It utilizes four non-acidic mineral ascorbates for maximised absorption, including fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate which may reach areas of the body that water-soluble vitamin C is unable to reach. This powerful blend is further enhanced with a natural plant flavonoid DH-quercetin, in itself a potent defence nutrient that provides synergistic protection when combined with vitamin C. The addition of Bioperine® (black pepper extract), contributes to the uptake and absorption of vitamin C and completes this highly effective combination. The end result is a one-of-a-kind formula created to deliver vitamin C to cells in need of protection.

Key Nutrient Applications:

Vitamin C is a nutrient with antioxidant properties that have increasingly diverse uses in the maintenance of good health. A wealth of scientific evidence has repeatedly demonstrated the importance of vitamin C crediting it for:

• Supporting normal immune function;
• Contributing to normal energy metabolism;
• Helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue;
• Helping to support normal psychological function;
• Combating oxidative damage due to oxidative stress;
• Increasing iron absorption;
• Helping to regenerate vitamin E.

Popular for

DEFEND SUPER PATCH Revolutionary Advance Drug-Free Wellbeing Technology

In 2021, the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian for their discoveries of thermal and mechanical transducers in the skin. These two scientists showed that touch and pressure, vibration, heat and cold sensitive receptors exist in our skin and these receptors signal the brain with information it needs to respond, protect and seek more or withdraw from the stimulation. These newly discovered pressure sensors “speak” to the brain, responds through the peripheral as well as the central nervous system, providing biofeedback. One might say The Ultimate Biofeedback™.

Utilizing this technology the Super Patch when placed in direct contact with the skin, it appears to act as a type of biofeedback, communicating with the brain.

They showed, for example, that known and verified markers of wellbeing and longevity like mobility, flexibility and balance could improve dramatically when people used the Liberty Super Patch, where results can be quick acting, as indicated by research MRI scans.

The researchers showed the patches appeared to help people move toward homeostasis rapidly for healthy sleep, for calmness, for stress relief, for attention enhancement and more general balance       

 A Super Patch called "Defend" which is designed to support the normal structure and function of the immune system is equally interesting

The top image is reported to be the live blood analysis of a person BEFORE the application of the Defend Super Patch.  The bottom image is reported to be the live blood analysis of the same person AFTER an hour of its application.

Dark field microscopy shows that the first picture is full of clumped, jagged and stuck-together cells which indicate unhealthy blood

Then when the Defend patch was applied, another live blood analysis on the same patient was done, after one hour showing a dramatically different picture.  The blood cells are much less stuck, more round and uniform. There are a couple of white cells that look just the way they should.  

Things are definitely moving in the right direction – and the only thing that changes as the absence, and then the presence, of the Defend Super Patch. Very impressive as some oral solutions can have the same result after 3-6 months and suggests formal clinical trials might show a powerful biofeedback mechanism helping things move in the right direction. It might verify that a major part of the immune system, the blood, exhibited normal structure. What we can see is a rapid, dramatic and otherwise unaccountable change in the live blood analysis of this patient makes a case for a beneficial impact of the body’s biofeedback response via use of the patch.

Certainly a very useful addition to ones repertoire of immune supporting go to products  where our immune system is more acutely challenged today (especially during flu season) than ever before!

Turning Point Training – Postgraduate Courses in Craniosacral Therapy and Homotoxicology

Turning Point Training offers postgraduate courses in Craniosacral Therapy and Homotoxicology. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds both in conventional and holistic disciplines. This allows an exchange of information and experience that enriches the learning experience. Courses are mixture of leading-edge, scientifically based theory and clinical and practical tuition. Students are encouraged to explore and develop their gifts and talents in bringing their unique experience to the disciplines taught. Students are thus empowered.

 

Top: Jonathan Lawrence BA DO Cert Ed and Rosemary Lawrence Dip BFD Cert Clin Hom Cert Ed

Bottom: Craniosacral Course 2019

 

Small groups help to facilitate this experience. Turning Point teachers are enthusiastic and experienced practising therapists who keep their knowledge up to date. The philosophy of Turning Point encompasses the idea that medicine is an art informed by science. We believe that the conventional materialist paradigm is very much out of date and that scientific knowledge has now reached a point where much of holistic medicine can incorporated into a new paradigm.

Turning Point courses introduce the concepts of research and encourage students to critically evaluate current information.

Craniosacral therapy  is based on  the relationship between the structure and function of the body and the expression of health. Specific, gentle and skilled manipulation can restore the structure-function relationship supporting the patients’ own homeostatic mechanisms. This non-invasive and safe therapy can be used on patients of all ages from the new-born to the elderly.

The Practitioner Course consists of 8 modules over 5 weekends and 20 hours Zoom support days. In addition, students must complete a portfolio of case studies and complete an exam. Practical skills are assessed during the course. This course is recognized by the CMA. The 2024 dates are: 24th, 25th February, 23rd, 24th March, 27th, 28^thApril, 8th, 9th June and 6th, 7th July. This course is held in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

This course is led by Jonathan Lawrence.

Homotoxicology is based on the idea that disease results from toxic load. In modern life we are subject to toxins from a variety of sources. This has the effect of stressing the immune system leading to ill health. Accurate prescribing can help the body gently detoxify aiding the restoration of homeostasis.

The remedies used are single potency homeopathic remedies or combinations of remedies to achieve a specific physiological response.

The Online Diploma in Homotoxicology is via the Society of Homotoxicology, UK. Contact us for access to this course.

Electro Acupuncture According to Voll (EAV) is a postgraduate course. This method involves electro-acupuncture assessment of organ meridans to find imbalances in the body. The 12 traditional Chinese meridians are tested plus the addition 9 Voll Meridians discovered by Dr Reinhard Voll. Training is via small tutorial groups led by Rosemary Lawrence. For 2023/24 dates email enquiries@turningpointtraining.org

Sayer Complementary Health

At my practice, Sayer Complementary Health, based in Burnham on Crouch, Essex, I see the majority of my homeopathic and nutritional clients on-line with either Zoom, Skype, Messenger or Facetime, allowing the client to reap the benefit of the consultation without the need for them to travel.  An initial consultation can take anything from 1-2 hours depending upon the client and their presenting concerns.

 

https://www.homeopathinessex.co.uk/

 

Homeopathic remedies are chosen to suit the person’s situation and this is where the full consultation comes into its own. A homeopath will not prescribe an ‘anxiety’ remedy without knowing the full symptom picture given by the client.  Homeopathy can help a wide range of ailments and is definitely not a ‘one size fits all’ system. 

Aside from my homeopathic practice, I also provide training courses in Homeopathy and Reiki.  The Homeopathy at Home course is designed to help you learn how to select homeopathic remedies that will address minor ailments such as coughs, colds, headaches and sore throats and may even negate the need for a visit to the doctor.  Homeopathic remedies are non-toxic, non-addictive and safe for all ages.  This course is easily accessible via Zoom.

The Homeopathic Practitioner Diploma course is an in-depth apprenticeship style course spread over three years.  You will learn about the history of homeopathy and the philosophy of working with acute cases through to understanding the depth of a more chronic case and how to prepare a case protocol.  Anatomy and physiology as well as pathology and disease are also covered.  Home study and written assignments are essential to the course.  Upon successful completion of all the necessary criteria you will be entitled to register as a homeopathic practitioner with a registering organization and build your career as a homeopath.

As a Reiki Master/Teacher I hold regular Reiki courses in Essex and while social distancing is being practiced, Reiki distant healing is being sent regularly to all her Reiki students.  For information there are three levels of Reiki that are taught.  Level one and two are one-day courses.  Shoden, level one opens you up to the healing power of Reiki and enables you to carry out Reiki healing on yourself and your family. Reiki level 2 Okuden, is suitable for people who have already studied level one and are familiar with the Reiki healing energy. At the end of level two, you will be able to offer Reiki sessions to the general public although you will need to have the relevant complementary health insurance cover in place to do so.  Pre-course material is provided for both Shoden and Okuden so that you may study the materials prior to attending the practical course.  A Certificate of Attendance is provided on completion. 

Should you wish to take your Reiki one stage further then the Reiki Master/Teacher Course also comes complete with a comprehensive manual as well as audio and visual materials and it is this course you would need to undertake in order for you to be able to prepare others on their journey with Reiki.   Reiki consultations are held in Burnham on Crouch, Essex.

Importance of Rest to Give Yourself a Fighting Chance of Recovery

A Beginner’s Guide to ME/CFS, written ten years ago, is a battle cry, for the importance of rest, to give yourself a fighting chance for recovery. 

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginners-Guide-ME-CFS-Guides/dp/0957181744

 

Now millions are experiencing the life-destroying potential of Long Covid, which seems to be ME/CFS with Covid-induced added complications.  The messages in my little book are vital for them as well. In our exercise-addicted culture, all the pressure is to ignore symptoms, to ‘fight illness’ by continuing to exercise. 

Recovering from an illness, which requires rest, is wiped out by pressure to return to physical fitness.  Get back to the gym as quick as you can!

Good fitness is not good health – but when exercise kills, no one blames it.

Multi-symptom conditions are assumed to be the neurotic complaints of self-indulgent hypochondriacs. 

Psychiatrists profit from consultancies with medical insurers paid to keep chronic multi-system illnesses labelled psychosomatic.

This applies to government funding as well.

Funding was promptly found to set up Long Covid rehabilitation services, based in gyms, offering psychological support and exercise programs. 

The priority originally given for biomedical research into Long Covid has been downgraded.

Long Covid sufferers are still waiting, along with ME/CFS patients, for effective medical treatments.

When Melvin Ramsay was treating ME/CFS patients with a prescription for six months rest, many experienced full recovery. 

Once CBT and GET were established as ‘safe, effective, evidence-based’ treatments, ME/CFS became an illness in which most patients deteriorated, and virtually none recovered. 

The ‘evidence’ has now been debunked; the ME/CFS guidelines revised to exclude GET, and CBT is to be used only as emotional support, not a cure for the illness.

Still the psychiatrists are fighting their corner.  By replacing old-fashioned, discredited terms like ‘hysterical’, ‘psychosomatic’ with new labels: ‘Functional Neurological Disorder’ and ‘Medically Unexplained Symptoms’, multi-system chronic illnesses are still kept under the psychiatric umbrella.

Long Covid is now going the same way, and patients are likewise at risk from harmful treatments.

The advice given in ‘A Beginners Guide to ME/CFS’, prioritising boring old ‘rest’ is even more important today than it was when it was written.

It isn’t you who is ‘fighting’ your illness.  It is your immune system.  Give it all the energy it needs to do the work it must for you to recover. 

This little book can provide the compassionate support needed by you, by your family, by your carers, to value your rest as the foundation of your ultimate recovery.

No-Obligation 60-Day trial of the FlexxiCore Challenger to Experience the Remarkable Diversity of Benefits from Whole Body Vibration Training

The FlexxiCore Challenger is a health and fitness device designed to trigger our natural self-healing and self-balancing capacity with subtle vibrations. These vibrations occur in a vertical plane and are combined with seesaw-like oscillations that mimic our gait as we walk or run.

 

https://energyforhealth.co.uk/

 

Despite the publication of over 200 clinical studies on the benefits of Whole Body Vibration training (“WBV”), there has been some scepticism about its fitness benefits relative to more traditional forms of exercise. One trial published in 2007 with 220 older men and women was specifically designed to compare the effects of WBV with regular exercise over a 12-month period. This showed that WBV training is as efficient as a conventional fitness program in increasing strength and muscle mass of the upper leg. More remarkably, while the Fitness group performed cardiovascular, resistance, balance, and flexibility exercises for about 1.5 hours in total, the WBV group in this one-year study exercised for a maximum of 40 minutes – see The Journals of Gerontology

Following the 2015 launch of the FlexxiCore Challenger, a cross-section of 41 middle-aged to elderly users undertook a 60-day trial of the FlexxiCore Challenger, keeping a log of their progress. Of the 41 participants, 23 were practitioners in the medical, healthcare and fitness sectors. A Summary of the Trial Results is available here.

The trial logs included a question about their desired outcomes, and Before & After measurements were recorded. Unsurprisingly each individual saw a different combination of effects: the adjusted average for the number of areas of improvement was 4.71 out of the 7 possible measured outcomes. The quality of improvement was commented on by an active British Horse Society Instructor: “Have previously struggled to maintain 116 lbs. Now 110 or less. If I have previously got down to 112, weight went from face and I looked gaunt; [now, with Challenger] face is good, fat thighs gone! Have lost cellulite - very exciting - been trying to get rid of them all my adult life!" 

Beyond these measurable outcomes, the participants’ logs revealed a remarkable diversity of improvements. Beyond a range of mental and emotional benefits observed, 15 specific themes emerged, as summarized below.

1. Energy levels and Stamina [Noted by 16 people]
2. Fitness / performance levels [16]
3. Posture [13]
4. Aches, stiffness, tightness, flexibility [13]
5. Toning [11]
6. Pain & Headaches [10]
7. Sleep patterns [10]
8. Stress & tension release [12]
9. Balance / Proprioception [8]
10. Motivation to Exercise Regularly [7]
11. Circulation / Blood Pressure / Breathing [6]
12. Core strengthening [6]
13. Recovery [5]
14. Back care [4]
15. Bowel Movements [2]

We are now interested to gather the observations of another group of volunteers. To this end we are offering the opportunity to up to 50 adults to undertake a 60-day trial of the FlexxiCore Challenger. We are offering a 50% discount to those willing to keep a log of their regular use (“at least 3 times a week”) over 60 days. Alternatively a 10% discount PLUS a 15% cashback payable after 60 days is offered to those providing a written summary describing their experience. In both cases our standard 60-day Money Back Guarantee applies.

The Sanctuary

The-Sanctuary.org.uk is the website of the Order of Dionysis & Paul, a contemplative order within the Holy Celtic Church. It is also the website of the Fellowship, a study society whose members explore various spiritual traditions, and embrace a curriculum of Prayer & Meditation; Healing; Comparative Religion; Liturgical Studies, Spiritual Hierarchies, Kabbalah, and much more.

 

https://www.the-sanctuary.org.uk

 

The Order and Fellowship members are not so much dedicated to established religion, although that must play a part; rather, it is to living the spiritual life that its members are drawn – which means the spiritualizing of human nature through Prayer, Meditation, Ritual, Study and love for all life through charitable or good works, by which we transform the lower instinctive nature into the higher spiritualise nature. To the readers who are drawn to such work then please do get in touch and let the will of God prevail (see the link to the contact page below).

The Sanctuary is also a platform for the podcasts of Allan Armstrong, the prior-general of the Order, who was diagnosed in early 2021 with Pulmonary Fibrosis, probably caused by the Covid epidemic that was emerging at the time. He is now on oxygen 24/7 and unable to get out to meet people, thus, in podcasting and video conferencing (zoom) he has established an effective means of communicating with members of the Order, the Fellowship and other kindred-spirits.

The subject-matter of his podcasts is concerned with the ancient tradition that constitutes the basis of order life & work. For example, Allan’s introduction to Kabbalah in six episodes is based upon his book, The Secret Garden of the Soul, published in Bristol, 2008. It traces the origins of Kabbalah as an esoteric system unto the present time. Another example is an episode discussing the esoteric significance of the Sphere, focussing upon the subject and nature of Light, life and consciousness. See: Kabbalah 6 - The Thirty-Two paths of Wisdom;  Also, The Sphere

Obituary Dr Daniel Benor MD 

by John Freedom

Dan made his transition on Tuesday, July 19, 2022 at the age of 81.   He died peacefully in his sleep at home, surrounded by his wife Linda, step-son, his cat and dogs.   He was in a lot of physical pain, and so we are grateful that he is now resting in peace.

Daniel J Benor MD was a holistic psychiatrist and psychotherapist. In his later years he specialized in the treatment of anxiety, chronic pain and psychosomatic conditions.  He received his BA in psychology at UCLA, and his medical degree at UCLA Medical School, followed by a fellowship at the UCLA neuropsychiatric institute.  After becoming disenchanted with mainstream medicine and drug treatments for mental disorders, Dan studied alternative therapies including meditation, guided imagery, gestalt therapy, transactional analysis, hypnosis, EMDR and energy psychology.  He was a true innovator, and developed a novel therapy he called WHEE:  the Wholistic Hybrid of EMDR and EFT. He taught these methods at conferences and workshops internationally for over 40 years, including at CAIET The Canadian Association for Integrative and Energy Therapies and ACEP American College Emergency Physicians . 

 

https://www.danielbenor.com/about

 

Dan was blessed with an insatiable curiosity, and he loved learning.  He wrote,

"As a child, I thought that grownups knew everything and that one day I would be a grownup and I would know everything! There is a little part of me that hasn’t given up on this search for knowledge and understanding of life, the universe and everything...."

Dan’s lifework was "Wholistic Healing" (which he always spelled with a “W.”)   He emphasized the need to address and heal the Whole Person, including body, mind, emotions, relationships and Spirit.  In his classes and trainings he synthesized Western medicine and traditional psychotherapy with intuition, prayer, and spiritual approaches, as well as EM and EP.  Dan was a meticulous scholar, editor and researcher. He was the author of Healing Research, Volumes I-III, and many articles on health and spiritual healing. He was the founder and editor of the International Journal of Healing and Caring, the Wholistic Healing Research website, and maintained a database of "remarkable recoveries," case histories of people who recovered from chronic illness using spiritual and wholistic methods. He was a founding diplomat of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, founder of the Council for Healing, and for many years served on the advisory boards of Alternative Therapies, Subtle Energies (ISSSEEM), Frontier Sciences and the Advisory Board of the Research Council for Complementary Medicine (UK).

His books include Wholistic Healing for the Highly Sensitive Person; Consciousness, Bioenergy and Healing; and Seven Minutes to Natural Pain Release.  (This last book is, in my opinion, the finest book ever written on the psychodynamics of chronic pain and how to treat it naturally). Dan is survived by his wife Linda, and several children and grandchildren.  He was the recipient of ACEP’s Contribution To The Field Award in 2021.  An online Celebration of Dan's Life will be held sometime in the fall. Dan was a shining light, and mere words cannot begin to capture his kindness, gentleness, generosity and his huge open-heartedness.  It would be an understatement to say that “Dan touched many people.”  He will be warmly remembered and deeply missed by those of us fortunate enough to have been blessed by his love and his presence.
