It is drug-free and utilises dietary & lifestyle changes, vitamins, minerals, herbs, homeopathics and nutritional supplements to rebalance body systems and bring about vitality and well being.The nutritional medicines used in this clinic are of the highest quality available. Their formulations are based on scientific evidence and have been validated by clinical outcome and success. Naturopathy embraces the whole person. Ill-health affects your body, mind and spirit and not simply an isolated organ or system. Naturopathy is a Science which looks at the causes of diseases rather than just the symptoms.
A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings. . . - Hippocrates
The father of medicine understood that the greatest gift one can possess is good health. But for those seeking good health, the greatest gift is the one that may help achieve that goal.

Herbal Extracts
Herbs are extracts of plants where the constituents act synergistically, producing a slow but safe and sure result. The careful enhancement, concentration and combination of certain herbs can be used for the treatment of the acute or advanced stage of an illness as well as for cleansing, building and balancing over a longer period of time. Herbal extracts are of superiour quality, organic and approved by the Therapeutic Goods Assosiation of Vic.
HERBAL MEDICINE
Herbal medicine is the oldest and still the most widely used system of medicine in the world today. Medicine is made purely from plants. It is common to all cultures and practiced in all societies.
Scientific investigation is continually validating the active chemistry of the plant. Many pharmaceutical drugs have been derived synthetically from chemicals found in plants.e.g. digoxin is derived from foxglove.
Our first medicines were herbs. The history and use of herbal medicines is interwoven with man’s earliest attempts to find a remedy for health problems for at least 40,000years.Leaves, flowers, berries, roots and barks have been used over decades to relieve suffering and promote health
The great test of time has proven those herbal medicines that do work; now the tests of science are assisting us to understand how and why they work. The therapeutic activity of a plant is due to its complex chemical nature with different parts of the plant providing certain therapeutic effects. The liver protective action of St. Mary’s thistle is mostly due due to the group of compounds referred to as silymarin. Silymarin has been shown to prevent liver damage which could result from alcohol abuse, active hepatitis B or C, drugs or chemical exposure in the workplace.
THE BENEFITS OF HERBS
Using plants as medicine provides significant advantages for treating the common cold, chest infections, sinusitis, arthritis, headaches, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, eczema and psoriasis, stress, fatigue etc.
Herbal medicine is very safe and effective when prescribed by a fully qualified herbal medicine practitioner.
They are effective,safe and easy to administer. A practitioner will prepare a specific herbal remedy for you, usually in the form of liquid herbal extracts. These are dark, concentrated liquids that you take in drops or measured dosages each day. Herbs are prescribed alongside a nutritional supplement for any signs of deficiencies and dietary and lifestyle advice.

Homoeopathy
Homoeopathic Medicines are produced from plants, minerals and animals and obtained from their natural habitat by licensed laboratories. They are safe in that only minute doses of medicine are prescribed, but due to the process of "potentisation" during production, the latent, inherent therapeutic value of the plant or mineral is released. Homoeopathics work gently and stimulate the body's natural healing powers to overcome sickness. Homoeopathy is a system of medicine founded on a definite law "Similia Similibus Curantur" which means "like cures like". According to this system, the choice of the medicine is fundamentally based on the principle that the medicine must have the capacity of producing most similar symptoms of the disease to be cured in healthy persons. The word Homoeopathy is a Greek derivation where "homeos" means "similar" and "pathos" means "suffering". So Homoeopathy may be defined as the therapeutic method of symptom- similarity. Homoeopathy is ideal for babies and young children.
HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINE
“Homoeopathic medicines are made from a variety of sources, such as plants, animals and minerals. They are prepared according to strict guidelines set out in international pharmacopoeias, and under the control of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). Homoeopathic medicines are considered safe and free from serious adverse reactions since they are highly diluted. These medicines can be given in the form of liquid, granules, powder or tablets and are designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing forces. There have been numerous studies and clinical trials over 200 years that support the efficacy of homoeopathy.
Conditions Commonly Treated
Homoeopathy aims to treat the whole person, taking into account personality, lifestyle and hereditary factors as well as the history of the disease. Since all patients are unique, homoeopathic medicines are prescribed to treat patients as individuals. For example, headaches in different patients would each be treated with different medicines, according to the patient’s individual symptoms.
Homoeopathy can be of benefit for all ages, at any stage including pregnant women, mothers, fathers, babies, young children, teenagers, and the elderly. Homoeopathy can treat the symptoms of a wide range of conditions including the following:
·First aid situations- bites, stings, hives, injuries, trauma, shock etc.
·Vague symptoms where there are no identifiable causes of disease but the person feels far from well.”

Nutrition/ Vitamins/ Minerals/ Dietary Advice
If cells are deficient in vital nutrients they cannot perform their designated functions. A body depleted or deficient in certain nutrients due to fast foods, stress, poor lifestyle, drugs and even pregnancy needs support to function properly. Optimal nutrition and health depends on the quality and quantity of food eaten, how well it is digested and absorbed, and the biochemical uniqueness of the individual.
Why Practitioner Products?
The nutritional medicines used in this clinic are of the highest quality available. Their formulations are based on scientific evidence and have been validated by clinical outcome and success. Other similar products may sometimes be cheaper. However, these may contain unsuitable additives, inferior quality raw materials and are not always formulated to have the synergistic properties of quality supplements.
Response to Treatment
Acute conditions such as colds, flu, inflammation and gastrointestinal problems often respond quickly to nutritional and herbal medicines, the benefits often seen in days.Chronic conditions may take weeks to months to respond, with more subtle improvement. These medicines produce a gentle response without the sometimes nasty side-effects that occur with the use of pharmaceutical drugs.
NUTRITIONAL & ENVIRONMENTAL MEDICINE
Nutrition is a basic requirement of health and needs to be central to primary healthcare. Nutritional medicine application can prevent disease, save lives and in the long term, is profoundly more economical than virtually any other medical discipline. Natural medicines safely support and gently rebuild health, addressing the body’s ability to heal itself, rather than just addressing the symptoms of disease.
Nutritional and Environmental Medicine is defined as the study of the interactions of both nutritional and environmental factors with human physiology, biochemistry, pathology and anatomy and the modulation of these factors by the health professional using dietary prescribing and or supplementation with various vitamins, minerals, trace elements, essential fatty acids, proteins, enzymes etc. to optimize health and often prevent or reverse disease states.
In treating nutritional deficiencies and imbalances, practitioners may need to prescribe a therapeutic dose of , say, a vitamin, or combination of vitamins, minerals a d essential fatty acids. A therapeutic dose required over a period of time to correct a deficiency within the body. Once corrected, the supplement may be dropped altogether or the dose reduced to a lower maintenance dose. If however an insufficient dose is used, there will be a less than satisfactory result. Informed consideration of all possible drug/ nutrient, herb/drug etc. interactions needs to be assessed. For these reasons, it is important that the taking of supplements and herbs, especially when taken in the therapeutic doses, be overseen by a suitably qualified professional. The majority of people are unaware that diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, depression, heart disease and cancer are in many cases preventable and that much can be done using nutritional medicine to lessen the symptoms of these conditions once they develop and to address the underlying causes.
Healthcare professionals are inclined to assess patients more holistically, taking time to look at the diet and lifestyle, plus nutritional, endocrine, immune and psychological status, correcting underlying causes of health problems, consistently leading to more positive results for patients and for practitioners.”
Using live blood analysis I am able to assess your current health by viewing a small sample (one drop) of your blood under a microscope. This image can then be seen on a monitor where I can investigate the size, shape and ratios of red cells, white cells and platelets, parasitic, bacterial and yeast forms found in your blood.
With live blood analysis or dark field microscopy I can develop more effective health strategies suited to your needs as an individual to restore health, vitality and well being. This is a fabulous screening tool and very exciting for you, the client, to observe your cells, larger than life, moving right infront of you.
"Exalt the great within where healing really begins. Iridology and nutrition are twin guiding stars wonderfully demonstrating the rewards of choosing a healthy way of life, the ideal of preventative medicine."(B.Jensen)
The science of iridology belongs together with the science of nutrition. These modalities come together to bring about correction of body tissues. The reason iridology and nutrition are so effective together is that the progress of nutrition therapy can be observed through iridology.It is possible, through an iridology analysis, to discern the location of a problem and then, following proper nutrition, the chemical and structural changes in the body will be visually apparent in the eyes.
Computerised Iridology is a diagnostic tool used to obtain information about the function and state of our body systems and tissues by studying the markings, colour, texture and signs in the iris. Weaknesses in the body can be treated and the body allowed to heal itself.

This 25 year old woman was suffering from daily migraines. Her eyes were very white (acidic) and her liver needed herbal support to alkalinise and detoxify her body. After dietary changes and supplementation the migraines disappeared and the iris fibres are now visible to a greater extent.
The markings in the eyes show the reflex condition of various organs and systems of the body. These markings represent a detailed picture of the integrity of the body; its constitutional strengths and weaknesses.
Nature has provided us with an invaluable insight into the vital status of the health of the body by transmitting this information to the eye. Iridology gives an essential insight to the development of chronic diseases or the diminishing of that disease or inflammation.The iris can indicate a problem in its earliest inception, long before disease symptoms are present.( B.Jensen)

Constitutional Philosophy.
“No knowledge is perfect unless it includes an understanding of the origin-that is the beginning, and as all man's diseases originate from our constitution, it is necessary that our constitution should be known if we wish to know our disease” (Paracelsus).
The understanding of our inherited constitutions is important in recognising our strengths and our weaknesses, in turn our pathways in health and disease. We can achieve the aims of naturopathic philosophy of homeostasis as we physically detoxify current toxins and inherited miasmas, strengthen any weak eliminative channel, recondition our emotional patterns and reconnect with our spiritual centre. This will pave the way to preserve and maintain health with our body’s healing power switched on.
The homoeopath Grauvogel said “acute diseases run their course in the track marked out by the bodily constitutions, by knowing our constitutions we actually support our vital force by rebalancing dis-ease”
What weakens constitutions over generations or leads us towards manifesting our constitutional weakness are; Vaccines, drugs, inorganic minerals, alcohol, shock, trauma, extreme emotions, mental obsessions, extreme anxiety, depression, stress, deprivation during poverty, famine or war, sedentary living, pollution chemical poisoning, radiation and poor nutrition.
What strengthens constitutions over generations or leads us to overcome our constitutional weaknesses are; Natural living, exercise, good nutrition, fresh air, holistic medicine, correct laws of living, homoeopathy, herbal medicine, Bach flower remedies, morality, purity, simplicity, a balanced lifestyle, regular purification, attitudes in mind and spirit that enable you to accept life and it's ups and downs without extreme reactions.

Brown / Hematogenic.
Pupil / Collarette Combinations
Collarette, Ciliary Zone & Pupil Size Relationships to Vitality and Digestion
The collarette is regulated by the entire autonomic nervous system. Pupil size and the collarette size determine the general energy-vitality level and how well food is digested. This is measured by the size of the pupil in relationship to the collarette. The dynamics of the pupil are regulated by the parasympathetic nervous system which constricts the pupil and the sympathetic nervous system and dilates the pupil.
Collarette Size
Digestive Capability.
Small collarette, small digestive capability, best suited to small meals of high quality foods. Large, expanded collarette tends to accumulate unburned substance in the body, a lot of waste is produced. Great intake of food is required but little is used. More concerned with quantity than quality.
Ciliary Zone Size
Energy Production and Reserve.
Small, narrowed ciliary zone, the body doesn't produce a lot of energy and the reserve may be slight, can only perform for short periods of time without rest. Large ciliary zone, the body produces a lot of energy and the reserve is moderate to large and has greater endurance.

Stage 2: RENEW- Once the load of dysbiotic organisms living in the digestive system has been reduced, the main aim is then to reinoculate the digestive system with beneficial bacteria and to support the integrity of the gut lining by helping to clear stored heavy metals and renewing and restoring the acid/alkaline balance of the body.
Stage 3: RELEASE- The final stage of detoxification is designed to enhance the capacity and function of the body's waste removal systems- predominantly the liver, gall bladder and kidneys. In this stage the focus is on increasing the release of toxins stored in the body, as well as increasing the release of bile to facilitate excretion of waste via the faeces.
