Flower Essences Cope with Life’s Roller Coaster of Emotions 

I do sometimes wonder at the way the messages and understanding of so many of our enlightened Drs in the first part of the 1900s, in particular the 1930s have such resistance from main stream medicine. Dr Bach in particular had 2 pillars of belief: 

1. That the cure of all ills is to found in nature (NOT to be taken out of nature and denatured!);

2. That everyone should know how to choose flowers and plants and tune into them to help their emotions and therefore negate the need for the body to shout at us with mental and physical symptoms!

Bach Flower Remedies Book, Anna Jeoffroy-Salmon, Mimulous for overcoming fear 

At Energy Works our message and our journey is simple - to empower those who want to learn a simple safe and effective way to release fear, connect with courage and faith and take responsibility for their lives. Remember responsibility means - the ability to respond. Knowing a little about the Bach Flower Remedies means you can always respond rather than react, so has the potential to change your life, 

When we have tools to deal with the roller coaster of emotions that events and challenges bring it amazing how much better we cope and deal with life. We then replace FEAR, ANXIETY and OVERWHELM with JOY HAPPINESS and LOVE.

Advanced Courses in Neuromuscular Taping Applications in the United Kingdom

In September 2018, Aneid UK Ltd is collaborating with the Breakspear Medical Group (Breakspear) to organize two advanced neuromuscular taping courses

Application of Neuromuscular Taping Techniques in Lymphatic Drainage

The first course is in lymphatic drainage (September 17-18); the course is open to medical professionals who work in lymphatic drainage (nurses, tissue specialists, manual lymphatic drainage specialists and physiotherapists).

https://aneiduk.com/neuromuscular-taping-in-lymphatic-drainage/67-lymphatic-drainage.html 

Applications of Neuromuscular Taping in Neurology

The second course is in neurology (September 19 - 20); this course is open to medical professionals working with patients rehabilitating from neurological disorders (physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses and medical doctors).

https://aneiduk.com/aneid/68-neurology.html

Aneid UK Ltd will be supplying the instructor (Joaquim Coutinho-physiotherapist and osteopath) and teaching materials.  Breakspear will supply the teaching facilities: an annexe (Maple House) located next to Breakspear´s main building in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

Method

The method involves the correct diagnosis of the lymphatic or neurologic problem combined with the specific application of a tape in a ‘stretched’ position. When the body returns to ‘normal’ position, the tape should have ‘wrinkles’. These ‘wrinkles’ signify that the tape is raising the client´s skin in a manner that allows for normal blood and lymphatic flow. In the case of neurological applications, the tape will influence the autonomous nervous system.

Key aspects of the technique involve the degree of ‘stretch’ on application (which varies depending on application) and the quality of the tape. The tape adhesive should have no alcohol content since the tape will remain on the body for up to five days (or until the next consultation). Any alcohol content in the tape adhesive will result in an allergic reaction. The tape used in the courses are registered EU registered Class I Medical Devices (Cure Tape).

Information on Breakspear Medical Group Ltd  https://breakspearmedical.com/

Founded in 1982, the Breakspear Medical is a privately-owned and operated day clinic offering many different clinical services treating a variety of allergy and environmental illnesses. Over the past ten years, the Hemel Hempstead-based Breakspear Medical has established an expertise in the measurement of target organ-specific functions of the autonomic nervous system as well as treating related disorders caused by the dysautonomia.

Information on Aneid Group – www.aneiduk.com

The Unique Rayonex System of Bioresonance According to Paul Schmidt 

The main difference between the Rayonex system and other systems is the way the frequencies are being generated. Rayonex uses a passive dipole antenna system, based on the principle of a variable capacitor, which was invented by the German engineer genius Paul Schmidt in the 1970's, to manually generate resonance fields as the way to generate and enhance the healing frequencies our bodies need. All the other devices on the market use a conventional frequency generator to generate frequencies with the use of electricity, which not only limits the results, it also has unwanted side effects.

 

Clockwise: Paul Schmidt, The Dipole Antenna, Rayonex PS 1000 and PS 10

In terms of application, the heart of the system is what Paul Schmidt coined as “the cause-oriented treatment approach”. This means that it is impossible to achieve any lasting therapy success without first addressing the underlying causes of an illness. The Rayonex system offers comprehensive testing and treatment programs to ensure that practitioners adhere to this principle. These include but are not limited to: Electro-magnetic radiation from electricity and wireless technology, geological disturbances (e.g. water veins, earth breaks, energy lines), the acid-alkaline balance of the organism, harmful substances and toxins (e.g. heavy metals, pesticides and environmental toxins), pathogens (bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi), vital substances deficiencies (e.g. vitamins, minerals and trace elements), enzymes and amino acids deficiencies, mental and emotional stress, and much more…

The other big difference is that the Rayonex devices harmonize frequencies across the whole spectrum of frequency ranges, from Hertz to Kilohertz, Megahertz and Gigahertz, with the use of fundamental frequency values. So, the Rayonex devices not only treat conditions that have already manifested as an illness in the body, they also harmonise subtle energetic imbalances before they can manifest as a disease in the body. This is an incredibly exciting innovation in the field of medical prophylaxes!

Yet another important difference is that all Rayonex devices are factory pre-set to only produce harmonious sine-wave frequencies (also known as gentle bioresonance), designed to stimulate an immune response and to change the milieu of the organism, to help the body heal itself. This ensures that there are no contra-indications or side-effects when harmonising with the Rayonex devices. Again, this is unique in the field of vibrational medicine.

Another great advantage of the system is the modular concept of the Rayocomp devices. This means that the Rayonex bioresonance devices can be equipped with the appropriate modules according to the needs and therapeutic priorities of the practitioner (e. g. acupuncture module, Rayoscan, cell degeneration module, etc.).

Rayonex impresses with their strong emphasis on investing in people, high-quality training, their family-like atmosphere in the company, and a strong commitment to Paul Schmidt's vision of bringing bioresonance into the homes of all people for the benefit of all.

All this, coupled with a strong commitment to ongoing study, research and innovation in the field of vibrational medicine, and the uncompromisingly high quality of the Rayonex devices and accessories is a great recipe for success.

Why Switch your Professional Association to Complementary Health Professionals (CHP)?

There are many professional associations just as there are energy providers and yet we tend to stick with the same one instead of shopping around for the best deals. We would ask you to take a look at us the next time your membership is up for renewal as we are different and offer some unique membership benefits. When we took over CHP in 2015 we sat down and brainstormed what we, as experienced complementary therapists would want from a professional association. We came up with ideas for when we were newly qualified for what we want now and created a list of membership benefits. One of the most important is that the office is always manned by an experienced therapist. So you can call for advice about anything, even if it is just for reassurance as it is sometimes a lonely job being out there on your own as a self-employed therapist.

Resonance Testing – Body Renovations for Improved Health

The global burden of disease is reaching crisis point. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that 85% of deaths are now contributed to chronic ailments, namely cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and respiratory disease. There is an urgent need to address and transform both therapeutic and preventative healthcare, as well as educate clients on what is contributing to these rising statistics. The WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy 2014-2023 discusses the greater role Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM) could play as part of wellness reform and are consciously looking to strengthen and integrate traditional medicines. They hope to promote the safe and effective use of CAM therapies as well as harness the powers of self-health, promoting responsibility and awareness to end-users.

New Vistas Homoeopathic Remedies – Made by Hand; Made with Great Intentions

As a complex homoeopathic company, we present our protocols for the chronically unwell with our Resonance Testing Workshop for CAM Providers. Homoeotherapy combines homeopathy, herbal medicines and nutrition as frontline treatments and offers a complete package of healthcare. Resonance therapies help individualise and prioritise the needs of each client, and when used together alongside Homoeotherapy, provides successful opportunities for both healthcare professionals and those wishing to improve their quality of living.

Homoeotherapy stimulates the body’s natural healing capacity and restores natural bio-rhythms. It considers nutritional, chemical and environmental stressors, toxicity influences and the emotional stability and needs of the client. Building a measured and personalised therapeutic program can help improve pathological conditions, alleviate physical or emotional pain and provide cellular reignition. Through Resonance skills, the priority requirements of the clients present themselves and allow the practitioner access what is precisely interfering with the energy patterns.

Hypnosis:  The Fast Track to Peace of Mind

by Dr John Butler

Hypnotherapy is essentially a partnership of minds, where through the means of hypnosis, the mind of the therapist and the mind of the client can work together in a powerful, effective alliance.  This happens through consent, and cooperation.  The power lies with the client, who has the choice of consenting to whatever methods the therapist may offer and of cooperating with them.  Let’s take an example, of a route using hypnosis for a client to reach peace of mind.

Patti was a client who had felt anxious since being involved as a passenger in a car accident a year before.  Although recovered from the bruises she had sustained, she still felt very anxious about being in a car, and had begun to feel fearful not only about being driven, but about driving herself, and being around traffic in general.  She had noticed that she had begun avoiding even non-driving situations where road traffic might be present, and didn’t want her life to become increasingly restricted in this way. 

First I demonstrated to Patti, with simple exercises, that her subconscious mind could influence her body directly, through her imagination, and that these bodily feelings were causing her anxiety to spiral – she would subconsciously anticipate danger when thinking about traffic, or driving, and then her body would respond by producing anxiety symptoms – fluttering feeling in stomach, heartbeat accelerating etc.  From this demonstration, she realised that if she changed what she imagined and anticipated, her bodily sensations would also change, for the better, and this would reverse the anxiety process.  Using my guidance in hypnosis, she then had the experience of creating a powerful feeling of well-being and deep relaxation, entirely through allowing her imagination to follow a chain of ideas which I provided, specifically geared to create those feelings. 

The next stage, still in hypnosis, was to guide Patti through understanding that she now knew, from her own experience, that there was some risk to driving and traffic that she hadn’t appreciated in the same way before.  She worked out, with my guidance in hypnosis, a “new deal” with herself.  She forgave herself for not realising previously how acute traffic danger was; she agreed to learn from her experience by being more alert and aware when driving and being in traffic, and not to be a passenger unless she believed the driver was also alert and aware.  She was now taking her safety seriously, and had learned a new appreciation of her value – listening to her survival instinct and working with it.   And she was committed to working with her new-found power of conscious imagining, for her own benefit in future.

A Pioneering Standard for Nutritious Seaweed

by S. B. Ranger, Founder, Seaweed Health Foundation

Seaweed production for human food is developing in Europe using methods ranging from very small traditional artisan methods, to mechanical harvesting and processing of food ingredients for international markets, and the cultivation of species through biotechnology. At the same time, seaweed continues to enter the human food chain, sometimes dried and ground from industrial-scale production for agriculture and alginate extraction, or as seaweed pieces from unregulated, small-scale production of dubious quality and provenance.

At first glance, it is difficult for customers and end users, whether wholesalers, retailers, consumers, or manufacturers, to determine the quality of these products, especially their nutritional value. During the chain of custody from ocean to end use, the seaweed may be denatured and have little or no nutritional value to the consumer. This situation serves neither customers, nor producers of quality – in fact, it makes it more difficult for quality production to succeed. Yet the markets will only grow through better quality production and nutritional value reaching the consumer.

The Seaweed Health Foundation and the Biodynamic Association, together with other interested parties, have launched a dedicated seaweed production standard which aims to achieve a level playing field for producers of nutritious seaweed, and certified quality for consumers. Nutritious Food Seaweed is a quality assurance scheme and standard, rooted in the principles of biodynamic, organic and sustainable farming, with aspects of marine science, botany, nutrition, and conservation. It is certified by the Biodynamic Association and was launched in 2016 at the Foundation’s 6th annual Seaweed for Health event and conference at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh.

Seagreens®, which was the first Organic seaweed producer in the British Isles, has also become the first to be Certified to the new NFS Standard.

The Principles of the Nutritious Food Seaweed standard are:

1. The recognition of the nutritional value of seaweed;
2. Seaweed offers comprehensive nutrients and micronutrients, including the minerals and trace elements of which it is a primary natural food source;
3. The importance of sustainable harvesting;
4. Careful, sustainable wild harvesting and cultivation will ensure marine foods for future generations;
5. The need to be free from contamination;
6. Environmental and water quality, and thorough analysis of the seaweed are vital measures of NFS certification;
7. The value of careful production;
8. Careful selection and processing are essential to obtain pure species and retain nutritional quality, using appropriate methods and technologies;
9. Fair market value for seaweed;

10.  Like any food with outstanding nutritional value, seaweed warrants extensive research, comprehensive analysis, and the very best provenance, none of which comes with a cheap product.

A Practical Guide to Acupoints, Second Edition

by Ilaira Bouratinos Dip.AcDS and Chris Jarmey

Published by Lotus Publishing. 2018. Hardback. £29.99. ISBN: 978 1 905367 80 1.

This exceptionally well-illustrated guide to the location and properties of acupoints has been fully revised and updated, and now includes all the major points. An understanding of acupoints is vital not only for acupuncturists but also for bodyworkers. This user-friendly manual contains current, comprehensive information for both groups, with special emphasis on how Shiatsu and Tuina therapists can best utilize ‘point knowledge’ in their practice. 

In keeping with normal practice, the authors give the precise anatomical location of a point and illustrate it with a dot, along with alternative locations where relevant. However, the book goes further by delineating the larger area where the point can be activated by pressure, gua sha, and other means. In addition, it explains the optimum physical position for treatment via acupuncture, acupressure, and other strategies, as treatment positions can vary according to the method of point stimulation. The book also documents the distribution of sensation resulting from point stimulation, and differentiates between pressure and needle application where appropriate.

The key changes for this new edition are:

• All channel points included
• New beautiful auricular acupuncture chart included
• New detailed symptoms and conditions index
• New protocols and points selection appendices
• New Chinese medical and general index
• Improved layout and text additions
• New techniques added

A Practical Guide to Acupoints presents a wealth of carefully researched information equally valuable for professionals, students, and conscientious practitioners, making this the most complete practical guide to acupoints ever produced!

Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine: The Key to Understanding Disease, Chronic Illness, Aging and Life Itself

by Lee Know ND

Published by Chelsea Green Publishing. 2018. Softback. £18.99 / $15.92 ISBN 1603587675.

"This book makes mitochondria come to life in vivid descriptions… Dr Lee Know will teach you that mitochondria play a central role in much that we care about in health and disease."

Stephanie Seneff, PhD, senior research scientist, MIT

Mitochondria are the new frontier in health. In much the same way that the microbiome has proven to be incredibly influential on our health, emerging research suggests our mitochondria – the often overlooked powerhouses of our cells – are equally important.

In Mitochondria and the Future of Modern Medicine, naturopathic doctor Lee Know takes a deep dive into how our mitochondria work and the implications this system has on a number of age-related conditions including heart disease, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. If we can optimize mitochondrial function, it could add years to our life and life to our years.

Dr Know reviews the latest studies and offers cutting-edge information on nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle changes for mitochondrial optimization, such as CoQ10, D-ribose, cannabinoids, and ketogenic dietary therapy, and how to implement their use successfully. His book is an invaluable resource for practitioners interested in mitochondrial medicine and the true root cause of chronic illness and disease, as well as anyone interested in optimizing their health.

About the Author

Lee Know ND is a licensed naturopathic doctor, and the recipient of several awards. Known by his peers to be a strategic and forward-thinking entrepreneur and researcher, he has held positions as medical advisor, scientific evaluator, and director of research and development for major organizations. Besides managing Scientific Affairs for his own company, he also currently serves as a consultant to the natural health and dietary supplements industries, and serves no the editorial advisory board for Canada’s most-read natural health magazine. He lives in Toronto.
