A penny for your THOUGHTS
When I was training to be a General Medical Practitioner many years ago I was aware of the potential Complementary Therapy has to offer in supplementing the treatment of many diseases that I see in General Practice. Medical treatment has its place. You should not abandon your medical treatment without consulting your own General Medical Practitioner bearing in mind they can be life-saving treatment you cannot do without. However by considering these alternative therapies as Complementary Therapies there is a lot you can do in enhancing your own health and aid your healing. Remember that fresh fruits and Vegetables have excellent healing effects. If you have been ill for a period or have had recurrent illnesses in a short space of time, consider the use of a course of Multi-Vitamins with Minerals. They may be required in boosting your body’s normal healing process.
The body normally has a huge potential to heal itself. Our Homeostatic mechanism will stop us bleeding from minor cuts and injuries. A bruised and contused area increases circulation to bring the vital supplies for the healing process. Our immune system will fend off our usual coughs and colds and control minor infections. We normally don’t appreciate these background activities until our body system has ceased to cope and a disease sets in.
In my experience patients with chronic illnesses like arthritis, asthma, eczema, colitis and chronic pain have common etiological routes, namely defective immune system. I believe most complementary therapies interact with the basics of our immune system allowing and enhancing our body’s immune system to heal.

PREVENTION is better than cure. Often I see patients, who have been for treatment, neglect the things they can do themselves in preventing recurrence of these illnesses.
What a BODY!
There has been much research in the field of free radicals and antioxidants. In our daily lives we accumulate toxins from our environment. This is contained in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food that we eat. I believe the body normally has the ability to flush out these toxins assuming we live a normal balanced lifestyle. These flushing out processes will be impaired if we are overworked or exhausted, if we live a sedentary life with insufficient exercise or have poor diets. It is vital for our normal body homeostasis that we live a lifestyle conducive to washing out and reducing the amount of toxins our body has. Some of the therapies on offer in my clinic have been shown to be beneficial in enhancing your body’s detoxification process.
