nicola_bradbury

Uniquely qualified to assist people in recovering their health, due to her life experiences as patient and carer, many years ago Nicola sustained multiple injuries as a passenger in a motorway accident with a prognosis to be confined to a wheelchair. Her deep inner conviction that she would be able to walk again became her driving force to seek alternative ways to rebuild her health and regain her mobility. Her father’s death from cancer was her motivation to research into complementary support therapy for cancer patients for healing and quality of life alongside their orthodox protocols.

In 1999, Nicola was herself diagnosed with breast cancer. With the support of an understanding oncologist Nicola followed her own immune system therapy regime and holistic therapeutic approach which resulted in a significant reduction in her tumour which was surgically removed. Nicola regained full health. Today Nicola offers consultations to people wanting to follow the holistic cancer support therapy regime alongside their conventional, orthodox treatments from their oncologist.

Issues and Approaches Covered Include

  • Environmental changes to enhance the immune system;
  • Body care and household products to use to eliminate and avoid further chemical toxicity;
  • Emotional balancing programmes to reduce fear and vulnerability and to give a sense of empowerment and personal responsibility;
  • Immune system enhancing diets, nutritional and herbal regimes to increase strength and energy.

Nicola helps clients to look inside and rediscover the spark and passion for lost hopes and dreams. Inner happiness can bring about outer health. Nicola has written a short children’s story Sophie’s Rainbow  to help children to discover their own inner strength when ill or recovering from an accident which will be available in e-book format.

The Dove Clinic - Consultation and Treatment in Hampshire

When Dr Julian Kenyon opened the Dove Clinic for Integrated Medicine in November 2000, the Clinic was based at a converted stables building at Hockley Mill on the outskirts of Twyford, just off junction 11 of the M3.  By 2008, things started to get a bit cramped and there was a move to the larger Old Brewery site in Twyford.  The new building enabled the Dove to maintain its character in a roomier setting.  It is worth noting that since opening, nearly six thousand patients have registered to use the Clinic’s services.  The Clinic is nicely ‘tucked away’ in the centre of Twyford in a private setting.

Dove Clinic

Most patients have registered with The Dove Clinic because they have a chronic or life threatening condition.  Many have gone on to receive nursing treatments from the team based at The Old Brewery in Twyford.  The nursing team (in line with most departments within the Clinic) can boast about its staff retention.  The team are highly skilled in their areas of treatment and the fact that they have been ‘doing the job’ for a number of years adds to the confidence that patients can feel when they initially visit the clinic.

The nursing team, under Dr Kenyon’s prescription, deliver a number of intravenous treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS and often referred to as ME) and life threatening illness. Increasing in popularity has been the clinic’s Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI) programme for the treatment of allergy.

For Low Dose Immunotherapy, the patient will usually attend the clinic for half a day in the testing phase of the treatment programme, where the nursing team will ascertain the trigger point for the allergens for which the patient is being tested.  Specific vaccines are then produced by our clinical partner, which the patient self administers.  An oral option is also available for vaccine administration and patients return to the Dove at an agreed timescale to ensure that the programme is responding as expected.

In addition to its Twyford centre, the Dove Clinic also offers a one day a week (Tuesday) clinic from its Wimpole Street consulting rooms in London. The team at the Clinic pride themselves on being a friendly and professional group who are willing to go that extra mile to help patients who find themselves in challenging circumstances.

Accredited Massage Courses in Sports (and Remedial) Massage

Sports and remedial massage therapy has been developed and refined since the 1980s.  Sports massage has gained a good reputation for providing effective therapy for the musculoskeletal system - both to maintain it when it’s functioning well and to help it recover when it’s not.  We can therefore separate Sports Massage and Remedial Massage, although that separation can belie the fact that, as with any homeostatic control system, we are trying to maintain a dynamic equilibrium rather than lurching from one extreme to the other.

Accredited Massage

Sports Massage

You don’t have to play sports to benefit from sports massage which can benefit anyone at all levels of activity.  The focus of sports massage is to maintain the body’s soft tissue to avoid injury to begin with.  Practitioners often work on healthy tissue, identifying problems early on and working to prevent subsequent injury.

As well as well-recognized massage techniques that stimulate the flow of blood and other fluids, sports masseurs use other well recognized techniques: cross-fibre massage, muscle energy technique, assisted stretches, myofascial release and soft tissue release. Different techniques are used at different times - pre-event, post-event, regular maintenance, etc.  Sports people at every level therefore incorporate sports massage into their programme of training and competing.

Remedial Massage

For therapists trained in sports massage but who don’t work regularly with sports teams, remedial massage is what they do most.  Good sports massage training provides a knowledge of anatomy which enables the therapist to identify fairly precisely where a problem might lie.  It also means that the therapist is more likely to know what they can’t treat, as well as what they can, and therefore when to refer a patient to a doctor.  Equally, although GPs can’t generally refer patients to sports/remedial masseurs directly, many doctors recognize the benefits of and ease of access to massage treatment in comparison to NHS waiting lists for physiotherapy.

Level 4 Courses

Accredited Massage Courses offers the ITEC Level 4 course in Sports Massage.  Classes are small (maximum of 8); teachers are all working sports masseurs who spend most of their time treating patients, as well as keeping abreast of developments in the field of Sports Massage.  The next course starts on Monday 22 April 2013 in north London.

Rayonex Bioreonance Energy Medicine Devices

Conventional thinking often dismisses energy medicine, but consider when a person is on life support and showing no visible signs of life, how does a doctor check for the presence of life before perhaps switching off life support? By using an electroencephalogram or electrocardiogram to check for electrical frequencies, brain waves, heart energies. Yes electrical energy means life; this is known and accepted. Energy medicine is actually very old going back to Chinese acupuncture, various manipulation techniques such as Reiki, Reflexology, and in more recent time Homeopathy. The use of bioresonance devices spans the last 100 years or so and of course modern computing has greatly enhanced the possibilities.

Rayocomp

Rayocomp PS 1000 Polar

Rayonex in Germany continue to expand the knowledge and application of bioresonance therapy. The Rayonex Analysis & Harmonising module is a professional system containing over 1520 separate programs for physiology and pathology. It is possible to check each body system, organ, even detailed parts of organs. There are separate sections to check and harmonize against about 500 pathogens, there hundreds of toxic agents which can be found such as heavy metals, environmental chemicals and dental materials. The list of body enzymes runs to over 100. It is possible for instance, to check the heart, find out if there is an energy disturbance in the valves, chambers, arteries and so forth, then pinpoint exactly where the disharmony is. There is a linked function to check which pathogenic agents are present and what the pathology is, all within minutes in an entirely reliable and repeatable way.

There is a time saving function called Test Protocol which at present contains around 40 conditions. This automated feature presents a list of associated frequencies to check, for instance in the case of tinnitus, cystitis and so on. Each resonant frequency can then be harmonized in sequence. New devices such as Duplex IV continue to be developed to protect against geopathic stress. The new HF Rayonator contains 10 dipole antennae to protect against high frequency communication devices such as DECT phones, mobile devices, masts, WiFi and so on.

The increasing prevalence of diseases of civilization indicate that there is much wrong with modern life. Surely we need to learn why this is so, find out what we can do for ourselves and make informed choices. Why not contact Rayonex UK Ltd and ask about a free trail or demonstration of a Rayocomp device? The Rayonex products are registered as class 2A medical devices allowing medical claims in respect of pain relief. This does not replace orthodox medical treatment. To be used for research and experimental purposes.

Bowen Unravelled: A Journey into the Fascial Understanding of the Bowen Technique

by Julian Baker

Published by Lotus Publishing. 2013. Softback. £16.99. ISBN: 978-1-905367-40-5.

One of the fastest-growing therapies in the world, the Bowen Technique is currently used by body-workers and health professionals across a range of disciplines. Using powerful evidence, this book explains how and why Bowen works the way that it does, and offers evidence to support its subtle approach to fascia and connective tissue. Every aspect of the Bowen Technique is explored and, using grounded reasoning based on current scientific thinking, presented for each of the techniques most commonly used by Bowen therapists around the world.

Bowen Unravelled

This book breaks down the concepts of The Bowen Technique and develops an understanding of what is going on during a treatment, including explanations of why things happen the way that they do. Featuring the entire range of classical Bowen procedures, each move is explained in depth, covering such topics as the importance of understanding fascia and connective tissue and its key role in bodywork.  The original work of Tom Bowen, the founder of the Bowen Technique, is enshrined throughout the book, an attempt to finally understand just what is going on when a Bowen move is performed. The book explains clearly why deep pressure is considered detrimental to intelligent bodywork approaches and how every structure can be accessed without the need for pain for the client or tension from the therapist.

About the Author

Julian Baker is one of the world’s leading teachers of the Bowen Technique, having been involved with the technique since 1988, with over 20 years’ experience. His role in teaching functional fascial dissection workshops to bodyworkers of all disciplines has equipped him with a deep understanding of how connective tissues respond to different types of treatment. As well as teaching the Bowen technique, he leads fascial dissection courses throughout the UK and is one of the country’s leading teachers on functional movement and fascial theory. Originally from London, Julian spent five years in Australia and now lives in Bath.

useful illustrations and step-by-step tools, Newbigging demonstrates the power of the mind,

emotional baggage and clear a path to reaching your goals. Heal the Hidden Cause is also useful for practitioners who want to support a deeper healing

Bio-Kult High-Quality Probiotic Supplements

Two high-quality research-based probiotic supplements from Bio-Kult help prevent the occurrence of Candida and Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). It is estimated that half of all women in the UK will experience at least one UTI in their lifetime, with 25% having recurrent episodes. Moreover, 75% of women will develop Candida at some point, with a 50% chance of these infections reoccurring.

Bio-Kult RANGE

Manufacturer Protexin Healthcare has applied its experience and research findings to develop Bio-Kult Pro-Cyan and Bio-Kult Candéa to help women maintain normal, healthy levels of bacteria in the gut and vagina. These probiotic supplements contain friendly bacteria to strengthen the body’s natural defences against Candida and UTIs respectively.

The summer months often mean increased visits to the GP for women suffering from UTIs[1] and Candida infections. Although stress, lifestyle and hormonal changes can influence such infections, additional factors can also aggravate and increase the risk of suffering at this time of year.  Dehydration and increased alcohol consumption can lead to more concentrated urine and less frequent toilet trips; giving bacteria the opportunity to attach and flourish in the urinary tract.[1] Moreover, sexual activity is known to be higher in the summer months[1,2,] and regular sexual intercourse or a change in sexual partner are said to account for up to 60% of recurrent cystitis.[3] The hot weather may also lead to a warmer and moister genital environment which could allow bacteria to thrive.[1] Additionally, frequent swimming and sitting in wet swimming costumes could aggravate the delicate genital environment possibly leading to Candida based infections.

Bio-Kult Pro-Cyan is an advanced triple action formula. Each two capsules of Bio-Kult Pro-Cyan contain cranberry extract standardized to give a minimum of 36mg of Proanthocyanidins (PACs). Pro-Cyan also contains two specifically selected probiotic strains and Vitamin A which contributes to the normal function of the immune system and the maintenance of mucous membranes which can be found lining the urinary tract. Bio-Kult Candéa is a scientifically developed, 7 strain probiotic with garlic and grapefruit seed extract. Containing 7 strains of probiotic bacteria that can be found naturally in the digestive system, and are proven to survive the high acidity of the stomach.

    How Farmers Can Boost Your Omega-3

    A Sussex farmer will use this week’s Vitality Show to launch what is believed to be the world’s first trial comparing the benefits of omega-3-rich linseed with best-selling fish oil supplements. Horsham linseed grower Durwin Banks from High Barn Oils questions why people continue to spend billions of pounds a year popping fish oil pills when they could be getting the same, or more benefit from having Omega 3 plant oils in their diet. Durwin, who has been turning home-grown linseed into tasty ground meal and culinary oil for more than 10 years, hopes evidence from 500 volunteers who switched from taking fish oil supplements to eating linseed, will stimulate further research into the plant’s health-giving properties.

    Knead Bakery

    Knead Bakery will launch two highly anticipated fresh free from breads to sit alongside their range of sweet baked goods including cookies and brownies this March, after customers calling for a bread that could cater for multiple allergies and intolerances. Knead bakery rose to the challenge of providing customers with a daily staple that could meet their increasing needs for a truly free from range.

    Sweetness Can Be a Weakness

    Non nutritive sweeteners are those that contain zero calories and they are effectively not absorbed by the body. In principle, this sounds fantastic and allows us to add sweetness to foods and drinks without having to worry about adding the extra inches to our waistlines. Research is starting to show, that when our bodies taste sweet food, they expect to get calories, so they respond like they are going to, releasing the relevant hormones and nervous signals that prepare us for the energy intake. When this doesn’t arrive however, we are left feeling hungry and unsatisfied and end up snacking and putting on weight. Some sweeteners however do help with weight loss. Studies carried out on Xylitol, which does contain calories, but 40% less than sugar, show those that eat foods sweetened with the natural sugar alternative, go on to eat less, later in the day. This is thought to be down to the fact that Xylitols calories are released slowly.
