Regenerative Sleep  - Hibiscus - Flowers of the Orient; Calm and Relax – Flowers of Australia

Restful regenerative sleep is a vital key to our overall health and sense of wellbeing, and when left to sustain its normal rhythm, is restorative to our energy system & balance as a whole. One in three people have a form of mild insomnia, caused by anxieties, stresses, fears, psychological problems and other reasons, resulting in physical and emotional tensions, so that at the end of the day it’s particularly hard to relax and naturally fall into asleep.

New Zealand Hibiscus Flowers

In many cases insomnia tends to become a permanent problem when there is anxiety around “have to” sleep and not succeeding.  Insomnia may be caused by neurotransmitters - chemical messengers within the brain allowing communication between nerve cells - involved with sleep and wakefulness. Chemical interactions in the brain can interfere with sleep patterns which explains why some people are biologically prone to insomnia and struggle with sleep for many years without any identifiable cause even when following healthy sleep advice. They may be deficient in Serotonin  - a  neurotransmitter often referred to as the happy hormone as it regulate mood naturally. A 2007 study found that people with depression often have low levels of serotonin; its deficiency has also been linked to anxiety and insomnia.

Insomnia - considered a symptom of either overt or covert depression -  proves to be an complicated problem for conventional medicine. Sooner or later many seek help through tranquilizers or sleeping pills. Sleep-inducing drugs tend to create dependency, so are only a short term solution. Studies show that insomnia may also trigger or worsen depression.

Unhealthy lifestyle can trigger or perpetuate erratic sleep patterns, specific lifestyles and sleep habits can lead to insomnia. Working at home in the evenings makes it hard to unwind, feeling preoccupied when it comes time to sleep. The light from computer mobile phones or electromagnetic frequencies also make the brain more alert. Short cat naps are helpful for some, but for others make it difficult to fall asleep at night; a sleep lie-in can confuse the body’s clock making it difficult to fall asleep again the next night.

Flower essences enhance inner peace, relaxation, healing and better sleep; they can balance neurotransmission reuptake to the pituitary brain, enhance neuronal regeneration, promoting peace of mind and tranquillity. Sleep is often something we take granted until we are sleep-deprived; flower essences can provide support in rediscovering the deep peaceful regenerative sleep we all deserve to live in the most positive and productive  way possible.

Munro-Hall Clinic – Specialists in Detox and Ozone Therapy

Ozone Therapy at Munro Hall Clinic

The medical ozone that we use at Munro-Hall Clinic is made up of the purest form of Oxygen along with the purest form of Ozone. The ozone concentration can vary between 0.05-5% ozone. We typically set it to the higher level to achieve the best results. It is widely recognized that ozone has bacterial, fungicidal and virucidal properties and this is what makes it an ideal disinfectant when used in conjunction with cavitation surgery and general dealings with infection in our surgical procedures. While physical removal of infection in the jaw bone is imperative, the medical ozone acts as a final disinfecting step in our protocol.

 

Munro Hall Clinic Specialists in Ozone and MHC Detox Therapy

MHC Detox Therapy - Using Vitamins To Detoxify

Created here in Bedford at Munro Hall Clinic, MHC Detox therapy is a complex holistic dental treatment, using a number of vitamins to detoxify patients before and after treatment.

MHC Detox therapy has been developed specifically to treat patients in a way that prioritises total care. Designed to help remove harmful toxins before treatments, the treatment is key in strengthening the success of therapies such as amalgam removal and cavitation. Since its inception, MHC Detox Therapy has been highly successful and popular.

How MHC Detox Therapy Works

As holistic dentists, we believe it is important to improve the health of the overall body as well as the mouth. We look at the bigger picture at hand, the disease as a whole and not merely a symptom. We begin by understanding our patient, after a thorough examination, we leave no stone unturned in our investigations. After completing a series of tests, our experienced dentists will create a unique treatment plan tailored to your results. Our team work to understand what your ideal end result will be, both orally and generally.

Once we have understood all aspects of a patient’s health and expectations, we begin by nutritionally preparing them. This coupled with an intravenous including vitamin C and other vitamins, prepares them for surgery or treatment. After intensive dental treatments or the removal of metals from teeth, our dentists ensure the teeth, jaw and jaw muscles are working as they should; removing all infections.

Our care doesn’t end with treatment, with a rigorous and well thought our aftercare plan, we believe it is crucial to monitor health after surgery. As the gut acts as an essential component of the body, our specialists will begin aftercare by ensuring the gut is working properly. Our team will follow-up at 3, 8 and 18-month intervals, conducting tests and monitoring pH.

Filter Your Tap for Better Quality Drinking Water

It is no surprise than an increasing number of us are choosing to filter our drinking water. All too often we’ve read about trace pharmaceuticals and microplastics leaching into tap water, not to mention contentious components like chlorine and fluoride.

Bottled water is sometimes viewed as a solution, but even setting aside the environmental question, we have to ask whether switching to bottled water is a wise move. Tap water is actually subjected to more stringent safety tests than bottled water, and furthermore microplastics were discovered in 90% of bottled water samples tested in early 2018.

There are many filter systems on the market, some of which remove or eliminate chlorine and fluoride while others alkalize the water, remove impurities or add in minerals. There is no shortage of options, from countertop units to pitchers, bottles, faucet filters and undersink systems.

The 4-stage Energy Plus Water Filter fits into the latter category. Easy to install and simple to use, this high-grade filtration system is designed to provide the highest quality drinking water possible. It has been extensively tested by the University of Edinburgh and proven to enhance the properties of water by:

• Increasing the pH into the alkaline range;
• Filtering fluoride and heavy metals;
• Removing chlorine, estradiol and chlorophenol.

Because it contains four separate filtration cylinders, the comprehensive Energy Plus is also capable of reducing chloramine, volatile organic compounds, arsenic, glyphosate and pharmaceutical compounds.

Although not its primary function, the Energy Plus filters out all particulates larger than 0.1 micron. Since the microplastic analysis conducted by Orb Media detected plastic particles of more than 2.5 microns in British tap water, these would be efficiently eliminated by the Energy Plus.

The four cartridges used in the system include an ultra-filtration membrane to collect bacteria, pathogenic protozoa, rust and silt; a multi-media filter which absorbs fluoride, chlorine, organic volatile compounds and heavy metals; a filter made up of natural bioceramic minerals to alkalize the water and give it antioxidant properties; and a final filter which helps improve water structure and absorbability.

The inclusion of bioceramic minerals is important, as these stimulate the release of molecular hydrogen, a compound which has been the subject of exciting research in recent years due to its potential therapeutic value.

The Energy Plus is not only ideally suited to those wishing to purify and alkalize their water, but also those craving a cleaner taste.

Installation is relatively straightforward for anyone confident with DIY, although £50 is the going-rate for a plumber. Cartridges need to be replaced once per year.

How to End the Autism Epidemic

by JB Handley

Published by Chelsea Green Publishing. 2018. Softback. £14.99 / $17.96

Father and campaigner JB Handley offers a compelling, science-based explanation

of what’s causing the autism epidemic.

While many parents have heard that vaccines are safe and effective and that the science is settled about the relationship between vaccines and autism, few realize that in the 1960s, American children received three vaccines compared to the thirty-eight they receive today. Or that when parents are told that the odds of an adverse reaction are ‘one in a million,’ the odds are actually one in fifty. Or that in the 1980s, the rate of autism was one in ten thousand children. Today it’s one in thirty-six.

In How to End the Autism Epidemic, Handley confronts and dismantles the most common lies about vaccines and autism. He then lays out, in detail, what the truth actually is: new published science links the aluminium adjuvant used in vaccines to immune activation events in the brains of infants, triggering autism; and there is a clear legal basis for the statement that vaccines cause autism, including previously undisclosed depositions of prominent autism scientists under oath.

While Handley’s argument is unsparing, his position is ultimately moderate and constructive: we must continue to investigate the safety of vaccines, we must adopt a position of informed consent, and every individual vaccine must be considered on its own merits. This issue is far from settled. By refusing to engage with parents and other stakeholders in a meaningful way, our public health officials destroy the public trust and enable the suffering of countless children and families.

About the Author

JB Handley is the co-founder and chairman of Generation Rescue, a non-profit organization focused on helping children recover from autism that was inspired by the journey of his son, Jamison, who was diagnosed with autism in 2004. He is also the co-producer of the documentary film Autism Yesterday and the co-founder of the Age of Autism blog. Handley co-founded Swander Pace Capital, a middle-market private equity firm with more than $1.5 billion under management where he served as managing director for two decades. He is a graduate of Stanford University and lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Lisa, and their three children.

The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School Celebrates 30^th Year

Our school began in 1989 in Austin, Texas, the “live musical capitol of the world”, noted also for its beautiful waterways, green and hilly landscapes, and its progressive culture.

The Lauterstein-Conway (“TLC” for short) has been distinguished since its beginning by having a principled mission – to run a school in a manner as healing as the subjects we teach.  We want to assist students and practicing health professionals to be therapeutically masterful, professionally successful and personally fulfilled.

Happy Graduating Students - Celebrating with a Pot Luck in Student Lounge

How is this manifest?  The curriculum is grounded in the philosophy and practice of “deep massage”.

1. How deeply we effect someone depends as much or more on the quality of the therapeutic relationship as on the techniques we may choose;
2. The same holds true for our educational relationship.  The depth of learning depends first on earning respect and trust;
3. The curriculum must stretch the person to see the breadth and depth of the many techniques from which they can choose to deliver the individual health benefits needed by the client;
4. Thus, in our basic program, we cover not just Swedish massage, the basic sciences, pathology, business, self-care, and therapeutic relationships.  We also cover body mobilization techniques, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, orthopedic massage, Deep Massage: Lauterstein method, pregnancy massage, and chair massage. 

Recognizing early on that even that comprehensive training was just a great beginning, we began offering a variety of contexts for continuing education.

1. Our 250-hour “Advanced Program,” offered since 1990, is the only program in the world which includes Certification in Deep Massage plus Core Zero Balancing, Shiatsu, Psychology of Bodywork, Advanced Integrative Bodywork and Certification in Orthopedic Massage;
2. Each year we also offer more than 300 hours of workshops. 2018 has included:
   Hot Stone, Oncology Massage, Reflexology, Table Thai, Clinical Massage for Low Back, Sacrum and Piriformis, Meridian Massage, Manual Lymph Drainage, Deep Massage for Iliopsoas, Myofascial Therapy, Alchemy of Touch, Pre-and-Peri-Natal Massage, Dermoneuromodulation, Cadaver class, Lomi Lomi, Anatomy Trains, Zero Balancing, Clinical Massage for Carpal Tunnel, Aromatherapy Training, Mindbody Acupressure, Deep Tissue for Chest, Diaphragm and Shoulders, Bindegewebbsmassage, ZB Expanded – Addressing the Skull, Heel and Sole: Advanced Foot Work, Structural Essentials: Fans of the Hip, Clinical Massage for Thoracic Outlet;
3. In 2018 TLC faculty will also have taught Deep Massage and Zero Balancing trainings outside of Austin, in Bristol, England, in Maine, and in Costa Rica.

The Secret Language of Alchemy

by Allan Armstrong

In the Western tradition, Alchemical theory rests upon the teachings of the Athenian Academy, especially those of Plato and Aristotle - which sets its beginning in the 4^th cent BC. Plato, describes in his book Timaeus, the creation of the cosmos by the demiurge; (The word Demiurge means the divine creator of the world; deriving from the Greek dēmiourgos, meaning "artisan"). In the Timaeus, he describes a perfect spiritual archetype or form, seeking expression in the world through a system of interlocking structures in matter (the Platonic Solids).

His student, Aristotle, taught that the cosmos consisted of matter – prima materia, which had only a ‘Potential’ for existence until impressed with form. The Form was not only a geometric structure but also the total inner organisation of a thing - the sum of its qualities and properties – that gave it its identity.  In simple terms, the form turned matter into the four elements through a variation of qualities arising from HEAT, COLD, FLUIDITY, and DRYNESS. In every element a single quality dominated: DRYNESS in Earth, COLDNESS in Water, Fluidity in AIR and Heat in FIRE.

Through the medium of shared qualities one element could pass into another, (TRANSMUTATION)  e.g. Fire into Air through the heat they shared, and two elements could pass into a third by each discarding one quality. Thus Air and Earth, by dropping fluidity and cold, could produce fire (heat & dryness). Aristotle believed that what changed was only the FORM: the prima materia always remained the same.

In the same period (4^th cent BC) there emerged a school known as Stoicism. Founded by Zeno, a Greek philosopher who lived c.334–c.262 B.C.  A significant contribution of Stoicism was the evolution of the concept of the Pneuma, breath, a synonym of the element of AIR.

The concept of pneuma had a long history before the emergence of STOICISM. For example Anaximenes of Miletus c. 6^th cent BC maintained that the cosmos was sustained by the divine air (pneuma) which it breathed. He thought that this pneuma, when rarefied became fire.

For the Stoics pneuma was air and fire, the active elements or forces of cold and heat; they later added the qualities of dry and moist (earth & Water) in order to distinguish between the pneuma (soul) of animals, and the pneuma (soul) of plants, physis: the animal pneuma being dry & warm and the plant pneuma being moist & cold. As the pneuma entered into matter with its mixture of air & fire, it pervaded the whole universe with a series of inter-related units or archetypes/forms. Matter being shapeless & inert, all of its identifiable features was the properties of the Form….

Altrient Liposomal Alpha Lipoic Acid – The Ultimate Universal Antioxidant

Never mind Super Foods - Let’s Talk about Super Antioxidants!

Alpha Lipoic Acid really is all singing - all dancing when it comes to offering multiple health benefits in one easy option. This potent agent really packs a powerful punch in a way that many other antioxidants just can’t compete with.   

Why Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is Different

ALA - also known as Lipoic acid or thioctic acid - is a sulphur containing fatty acid synthesized in the liver and other tissues and also obtained from both animal and plant sources in the diet.  It is unique amongst other antioxidants because of its solubility in both water and fat which means it can reach watery areas like the blood and cell contents, as well as the cell’s outer membranes which consist mostly of fat. This property allows it to protect virtually all body tissues against free radical damage.

Some of the Many Benefits of ALA

• ALA Regenerates other Antioxidants
  Once an antioxidant has neutralised a free radical it becomes inactivated and is unable to work its magic on other free radicals.  ALA is able to re-charge other antioxidants including vitamin C, Glutathione, Co-enzyme Q10 and vitamins A & E, increasing their healing power in the body;
• ALA Raises our Energy Levels
  ALA works within the power houses in our cells known as mitochondria, helping to convert glucose into the energy that keeps us alive and functioning;
• ALA Improves Insulin Sensitivity and Blood Glucose Levels
  Good news for Type 2 diabetes sufferers because several studies now show that supplementing with ALA improves blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity;
• ALA may Provide Protection against Heart Disease
  Research has highlighted the benefits of ALA for improving cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure and reducing plaque formation in the arteries - a winning combination in the fight against cardiovascular disease.;
  ALA Keeps us Young
  ALA is known for its anti-ageing properties. This is thought to be because it turns on cellular defences within the body, controls inflammation and restores levels of glutathione - another highly protective antioxidant and detoxification compound.

Altrient R-ALA is Currently the Most Stable & Bioavailable Form of ALA

Altrient R-ALA is able to provide the superior form of R-Lipoic Acid without compromising on stability. It overcomes this by packing the Alpha Lipoic Acid into a cleverly designed phospholipid bubble called a liposome. The phospholipid coating is very similar to our own biological membranes protecting the ALA from our body’s natural defences. Studies have proven that liposomes increase stability and solubility allowing for greatly improved absorption in the body. This makes Altrient R-ALA the most bioavailable and highest dosage oral form of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid available anywhere!

PAC Corporate Ltd - From Superfood to Uberfood™

PAC Corporate Ltd is happy to introduce their new Uberfood™ under their key brand MicrOrganics. When one thinks superfood, one thinks horrible taste, right? With Uberfood™ the focus has been to bring the best nutrient spectrum that is palatable without the use of sweeteners, sugars or other unnecessary ingredients. 

Uberfood™ is 100% organic and vegan.  It boasts some of nature’s finest sources of plant based protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other micronutrients. The product contains a nutritional blend of no less than 11 key ingredients all carefully balanced for taste and nutrition. Here are some of the key ingredients:

• Organic Spirulina: It has been suggested Spirulina could overcome the world’s food crisis; it isn’t hard to see why. The nutrient profile of spirulina is something to behold. Despite being tiny little blue-green algae, Spirulina contains between 50- 60% complete and digestible protein. A mere 3 grams of spirulina could provide as much antioxidant nutrients as up to 5 servings of vegetables (but you should still eat your veggies!). 
• Organic Chlorella: Its 58% protein content isn’t the only bonus; Chlorella is also a healthy vegan source of Iron and B12. The mineral content of Chlorella means it can help detoxify the body naturally.
• Organic Wheatgrass: This gluten-free young grass packs a mineral punch. Alongside magnesium, calcium and selenium, to name a few, it also contains electrolytes and is a great source of antioxidant rich chlorophyll.
• Organic Barley Grass: Barley Grass is high in iron and protein, is a source of B vitamins and minerals and contains enzymes. As a young grass, barley grass resembles a vegetable in terms of nutritional make up more than a grain. Its ability to absorb nutrients from the soil is at its peak and all the nutrients are stored in the grass as it prepares to grow its grain shoots.
• Organic Lucuma: This traditional South American fruit has been discovered to be packed full of minerals and vitamins. We use the whole pulp powder, not just the juice powder, to bring you all of its fibrous goodness.
• Organic Turmeric: Its main active ingredient, Curcumin, is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in antioxidants.
• Organic Goji Berry: Gram for gram this berry contains hundreds of times more vitamin C than oranges. They are also rich in iron and antioxidants compared to other fruits and vegetables.
• Organic Acai Berry: Nutritionally it has it all; protein, fibre, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
• Organic Blueberry:  We think Blueberries are great! They are nutrient dense and contain a notable dose of vitamin K and C amongst others. The phytocyanins contained within Blueberries have useful antioxidant properties.

With the new Uberfood™, achieving that balance is simplified and maintained effortlessly. “You can add your Uberfood™ to water, a smoothie, almond milk, juice, anything really, for an amazing balance and achieve a wonderful result,” says Paul Hoole, co-owner of PAC Corporate ltd. “Uberfood™ is so simple to use and will fit in any lifestyle”.

Further Information

Uberfood™ is available in a one month supply priced competitively at £24.95 per 240g pouch, that’s 83p per day! For further information, please contact PAC Corporate Ltd on Tel: 01342 410 303 or visit www.bestcare-uk.com

 

 

Jacqueline’s Diary - When Cancer Came to Visit

by Jacqueline Clara Shephard

Published by PublishNation. 2015. Softback. £8.99. ISBN 978-1-326-49576-3.

As the Author of this book, it was born out of diaries I wrote throughout my treatment which has now been turned into Jacqueline’s Diary.  The book was borne out of really tragic circumstances, but I managed to come through the other end, write this book and get it published… that is a major achievement considering I nearly died twice in one month.

The message I want to send out to people with cancer is that it doesn't have to be a death sentence.  People do come through it and live a life.

A blogger on Amazon - Robin Leigh Morgan, kindly wrote the following after reviewing Jacqueline’s Diary.

“Cancer, or the “BIG C”, has some like to refer to it, is something which can’t be taken lightly. It can attack lightly in the beginning, but then, suddenly, start attacking like a vengeance which is when almost nothing can stop it from decimating not only a person’s entire body and their family as well.
When it does attack it becomes an extremely personal issue, in which the individual victim wants no one, except their closest family members to know anything about it. Cancer can strike particularly any part of one’s body. For women, while breast cancer can be quite devastating, it is far easier to deal with in general than if she gets it someplace else, especially when it’s in her cervical area, finding it at time even difficult discussing it with her husband.
It is for this reason that the readers need to thank this book’s author, Jacqueline Clara Shephard, for her willingness to be so open, frank and honest about her day to day experiences combatting this dreaded form of cancer. She shares about how she couldn’t have survived any of her ordeal without the help of her doctors, nurses, medical staff and especially that of her mother. Along the way she has made sure to impart a lot of knowledge, both medical and practical to anyone reading her book.
In the end, for what Ms Shephard has done regarding this subject matter for her readers, telling them that they’re not alone when facing this disease”.

Jacqueline's Diary also has a lot of practical information that may help people you know at this time going through this disease.

Moon Flowers - Karmic Healing under Moonlight - Aquarius Flower Remedies

The soul can carry many past life wounds through into the present incarnation. From a deep level within our being these karmic wounds influence and shape our life in profound ways. Part of the soul's purpose is to heal past life trauma

Simon France, Co-Founder Aquarius Flower Remedies, started making flower remedies under moonlight 17 years ago. He was inspired to use the Moon to potentize essences, instead of the traditional Sun method, through his knowledge and practice of astrology. The Moon symbolizes the past, memory and reflection. When looking at a horoscope from a karmic perspective the present Moon sign was an extremely influential factor in the most recent previous life, perhaps the Sun or ascending sign. The Moon Flowers, the collection of over 40 flower remedies and environmental essences that he has so far documented, are for healing the wounds we carry through from the past, be that in this or a previous life.

Moon flowers are a set of flower remedies for past life healing, made by a process called lunarization: freshly picked flowers are floated in a glass bowl of water and left under the Moon for a few hours. Making flower remedies under the Moon, instead of the Sun, allows a different facet of the flower`s healing to emerge. Potentizing the flowers by moon-light enables us to use flowers to heal the wounding that has occurred in past lives. Moon flowers will also heal the wounds that have occurred in the past of this incarnation and held in the deep memory.

Pelvipro is a simple-to-use, portable device that corrects a misalignment of the spine and pelvis is helping people take control of their lower back pain.

Person using Pelvipro to Relieve Lower Back Pain

The Pelvipro has been launched by Chris Aldred, a physiotherapist based in Harrogate who has been treating people with lower back pain for more than 20 years.

Chris says: “The first thing I do with a patient is put them ‘back in alignment’, and this immediately gives them some pain relief. I saw the need for a realignment device that people could use by themselves, whenever they were in pain.”

The device, which is now available for purchase, was shown to be so effective in trials that Chris has now brought it to market, to help other people who suffer with lower back pain.

Chris says: “I knew from my clinical experience that realignment had a positive effect on lower back pain but our trials also showed some psychological benefits from people feeling they were finally in control of their pain.”
