Have you ever wondered if there might be an answer to your chronic illness? You know - a reason why you have it? And why you haven't been told about this connection? Well, there most probably is. A reason, I mean. And we call this reason the underlying cause. We make it our business to try and determine the underlying cause to your chronic illness and rectify it. This may "release" the healing energy and allow you to return to complete health. Let me explain.
You see... we have developed over the years a simple yet powerful way to treat chronic illness that is a work of art and truly rewarding. One reason for our success is that we have a policy of treating the individual. In other words, our primary driver is to identify, connect and correct the underlying causes that could be leading to your ill health issue and not just treat you like a number. That's because it has been our finding that two different people who might appear with a similar major symptom may have vastly different physical reasons why they feel the way they do.
So, our motto is: "Treat the individual”, and “First, do no harm". That means to you that enhancing your life situation is our primary concern. So, we need to achieve two major objectives together:
- treat your immediate discomfort and then
- correct the underlying causes.
And we address your nutritional, mental/emotional and physical aspects as they can all lead to pain, fatigue and illness. Let me explain.
You see... your crook knee or aching joint or blood pressure or recurring illness or fatigue... are usually the tip of the iceberg. Underneath, you might have a food allergy, leaky gut, over-refined, over-preserved or over-stored foods in your life. Not to mention adrenal and mental exhaustion. As for the ‘crook’ knee, it may have degenerated as a result of septic foci – and that is treatable with Frequency Specific microcurrent. In the case of food allergy, you might be addicted to certain foods that would eventually become toxins to your internal systems. In such cases, you need to seek guidance on a healthy nutritional regime that is a pleasurable to follow and could see your health restored for the rest of your life. We make it our business to suit your palate, your purse or wallet in the treatment options that we negotiate with you during the design phase.
Why?
(CLCK HERE FOR FREE ARTICLE LIBRARY)
Because we believe that it is better to take small steps slowly on the journey to "wellness" and eventually get there than to start off with massive regimes that are impossible to sustain and that may eventually see you fall off the wagon, seeing your health decline to point where it began where you began 12 months before.
The most important result of our approach is that we wish to determine the underlying cause of a chronic complaint. Only then can we effectively treat the condition and move from a state of disease to a state of Wellness.
While this approach may take time, we hasten to add that we have a policy of treating the symptoms immediately. In other words, your current suffering may be alleviated by using both traditional and modern methods, using herbs, non-traditional concentrated plant extracts, homoeopathy, Bach flowers, massage therapy, counselling and microcurrent.
This often doesn't happen quickly and easily. It takes time to sift through all the variables in a patient's history and make up. However, experience has shown that a short cut approach that just treats the symptoms without understanding the causes will always fail after some period of time and the symptoms will spring back, often worse. But that's not to say that we don't treat your symptoms and make you feel comfortable. We do - and we do that first.
We have listed here a number of the common complaints or health problems that we see in our practice. This list is by no means exhaustive. So, if you have a problem, but its not listed - don't worry. Our practitioners have wide experience and will be able to help.

I can't fall pregnant
Pregnancy is the end result of a healthy body's absolute biological goal. That's how nature developed all living things. That means that your reproductive system may respond to self-repair very well - provided your body's nutritional reserves can set the right tone for a healthy pregnancy . For this reason, infertility means that your general system is sick and your biological alarm bells are ringing all over the place, not just in your abdomen. So, fertility may be regained by addressing the fundamentals of self-healing. Let me explain. . .
Female Infertility can be caused by anything from a simple infection in the fallopian tubes caused by yeast or bacteria or other bothersome bugs, to cysts forming in the ovaries. They all sound pretty scary, right? Wrong. It is our belief that your self-healing (or auto-immune) system can be stimulated to heal these issues if it has the right biological tools to do so. Further, there are forces at work in today's polluted planet which actually irritate the ovaries and cause these cysts to form, rendering you infertile. In fact, the same pollutants are also, according to Dr John Lees the noted American Infertility Researcher, the direct cause of the decline in male sperm production that has occurred over the last seven decades. So, we set out to work on your immune capability through health coaching, nutrition, herbs and homoeopathics, so that eventually your biology can begin to return to biological normality.

How can you be sure that this might work for you?
Our system, that commenced in the seventies, is mirrored by Foresight International in that successful pregnancies have been achieved in over 80% of cases of diagnosed medical infertility. We believe that our methods even improve on those of Foresight due to our ongoing original researchand experience in uncovering newer, more effective means of diagnosing and treating different aspects of infertility through Wellness Outcome technology and may obtain positive results even in the more difficult cases of dramatically low hormone levels. Our technology stretches to innovations in natural substances. Such breakthroughs include RyeVital and Frequency Specific deep tissue therapy.
Health of mother and baby
Our philosophy - and our long-haul experience and results - leads us to believe that not only might you produce healthy babies but also ensure that mothers health is as good as it can be. Using our methods, babies are significantly heavier at birth, there are fewer complications with vaginal deliveries, mothers have plenty of breast milk and themselves experience great health and wellbeing.
I want to improve my chances of a pregnancy in the IVF programme.
IVF pregnancies are still difficult to achieve. It is our belief that it is imperative for you to improve your own health and that of your reproductive system for a successful pregnancy.
Out of four ladies in their late 30s or early 40s who were booked into IVF and who came to us, we have so far had four first up pregnancies.
One lady even had healthy twins!
Now, I know it's IVF and not a completely "natural" pregnancy and I know what you're thinking. But before you accuse us of taking short-cuts, let me assure you that these ladies only "discovered" us long into their quest and long after they had already committed themselves to the process of IVF.
The point is that many IVF couples have multiple tries before they succeed with a pregnancy. In all four cases (our ONLY IVF-preparation cases) they ALL fell pregnant on the first go.
How did we do this amazing feat?
Well, we find it relatively simple. We adhere to a procedure that we have developed for normal fertility enhancement and modified it to suit the clients circumstances. Actually, that in itself is our "Normal" procedure even for difficult infertility cases -modifying a fundamental plan to suit special cases, I mean. To us, that's the only way to get results.
That's because, as we state so often, dietary surveys in Australia and the USA clearly show that the average mother-to-be is already suffering a deficiency of some 30% of vital micronutrients on a daily basis.
Why? It's all down to the quality of the food and water supply. Over-refinement of foods, scarcity of mineral-rich spring water in all major cities and towns compounded by exhausted farming soil in these countries and others are directly reflected in your own body's composition and nutrient reserves.
Not only that, but also they directly impact on your body's tendency to asthma, eczema and many other health issues listed under "common complaints". Especially when you add food allergy incidents, which themselves are becoming seemingly more common. And finally they impact on your energy levels.
A Nutritionist will be able to tell you what's what in this department!
So, by using some fundamentals of Functional Medicine, we set out to change the internal cellular health of your body for the better.
A word of warning: While guessing a deficiency by taking a multivitamin is OK, remember that you will need to ensure that your diet is rich in at least the Top 50 Nutrients on a daily basis, using targeted nutrition to ensure perfect health. What is that? They comprise common ones that you have heard of and ones with really weird names. But astonishingly, they are all required by every cell in your body. To be brutally honest, you will need to supplement with these in order to achieve saturation of your body's nutrient reserves. Not only that, but also We have devised a special mineral capsule with the 78 known minerals and trace elements that actually help your cells to regulate self and therefore may allow self-healing of your ovaries, tubes and uterus and may potentially become feretile. The incredible Frequency Specific, microcurrent has frequencies specific for ovaries, uterus and all other So, if you want to become healthy and stay that way, I would recommend our pregnancy and breastfeeding pack, as devised by collaboration with our associate Janette Roberts (author of The Natural Way to Better Babies).

My psoriasis is destroying my social life
The Merck Manuals definition of psoriasis can be summarised by saying that Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease where your skin cells don't slough off as they are meant to. It is often associated with inflammation elsewhere in the body which may also be caused by pockets of infection.
Treatment with naturopathic medicine often produces positive outcomes. That is because we treat the underlying causes as well as the actual symptoms and signs of scaly skin build-up.
In the case of psoriasis, the underlying causes in our clinical experience are usually quite varied and need a truly holistic approach. The specific condition is best treated with Wade's Skin Treatment Cream combined with skin-friendly washes. We tend to favour cleansers using a vegetable oil emulsion - rather than petroleum-based ones - or a specific dermal cleanser, such as the one made by Metagenics in the Traditional Chinese method. If you would like us to assist you in helping to overcome your psoriasis, we will send you an information pack for no charge.
In this, you will find that the questions that we ask actually help you to see yourself as you really are. But better still, when we asses this information, we try to give you an insight on the key underlying causes for your condition and from that we work out a possible remission that could last for years.
Ask about our assessment pack and our recommendation for immediate skin treatment.

I'm in pain every day
Pain has many sources and many causes. It may have been a fall many years ago, a bad lift, a motor vehicle accident, a sporting injury, a fracture, a form of arthritis or a gradually worsening pain from chronic fatigue or some weird viral infection. It may be recent or could be long term. It may have happened suddenly or could be a gradual onset of pain.
Whatever sort of pain it is, we can now offer the hope of relief by treating its cause, using Frequency Specific Microcurrent to underpin our other powerful treatments which on their own can often make a profound difference to your pain and its cause. That means Microcurrent has the ability to accelerate natural healing processes in its own right. It is highly recommended for any pain no matter what causes it. Read more about pain.

I have Severe PMS
PMS is a vexatious issue. Our success with this debilitating condition addressing fundamental health issues as well as using specific herbal and homoeopathic medicines has been encouraging to say the least. It has been our finding that most symptoms of PMS can be at least dramatically improved using our methods.
It is our aim to improve your health right across the board at the same time as reducing the actual symptoms.
It is this approach using Functional Medicine which may improve your health right across the board at the same time as possibly reducing the actual symptoms.
One of the key factors in PMS is inflammation and swellings (cysts) in your ovaries. This causes an imbalance of oestrogen to appear in your general system. It is my contention that, as the function of oestrogen is to make cells grow faster, then all the cells in your body that normally replace themselves regularly will do so more rapidly. This proliferation of cells will occur particularly in every area of the body that is lined with surface (epithelial) cells (as well as other organs). These are all of the tracts and ducts and cells lining the gut wall and also perhaps the abdomen itself. This leads to inflammation and discomfort.
If that's not bad enough, oestrogen also has the function of saving minerals from being excreted from the kidneys. The resulting build-up of minerals in the bloodstream causes fluid to accumulate there and also in other tissue in the body. This leads to bloating. Another cause of the bloating is possibly candida, caused by yet another set of factors in the body's environment. The oral contraceptive may also amplify some of these symptoms.
Using the functional medicine approach, our naturopath-nutritionist can address all of the factors contributing to the underlying issues which cause the discomfort and hope to reduce the symptoms as a result. Using our systematic approach is the best way to effect an eventual wellness outcome with this type of uncomfortable complaint.

I'm approaching Menopause
Menopause is not described in herbal books as it is not counted as a disease state by Naturopaths. Indeed, Mayan and African tribal women do not experience any discomfort or symptoms of menopause. So why do our women?
The only difference really is the quality and balance of nutrition, water and food. For example, many vital nutrients required for normal bodily activity are practically non-existent in our day to day lives.
We call this undernutrition.
We at the Lane Cove Wellness Centres carefully analyse your individual nutritional background and advise you on how to try to make up the difference.

I have Cancer
It is illegal for a naturopath (herbalist, nutritionist or homoeopath) to treat cancer. It is however, both legal and desirable - not to mention humane - for qualified naturopaths to treat people who have cancer. And that's what we do. Naturally, we work hand in hand with medical practitioners to improve the lot of the hapless sufferer. This has proven to be a very successful synergy.
So, just how can we help?
Firstly, we can relieve pain with a fully accredited, TGA-approved, specific frequency, deep tissue device that has a proven record.
Secondly, we can help to improve circulation, preventing embolisms from forming and so improving the comfort level of patients. Also, many nutritional groups, including concentrated extracts from traditional foods such as turmeric, saffron and others, inhibit platelet aggregation, a real positive when stopping the growth and spread of cancer.
Thirdly, we can offer treatments to generate a significant increase in white blood cell activity, a further aid in inhibiting its spread of cancer.
Next, some herbs encourage apoptosis. This means natural cell death. You see, if you can induce a cancer cell to die off, it is the same as employing a pharmaceutical agent to kill it - without the side effects. John Boik, a medical practitioner specialising in this area, in his book Cancer & Natural Medicine (Oregon Medical Press, 1995) goes into these areas and many others all of which are concerned with the natural inhibition of cancer one way or another. The book also stresses the benefits of some natural therapies on eliminating side-effects of radio and chemotherapy. Many other medical and non-medical health researchers have come up with similar findings over the past 20-3- years. We can offer these therapies.
Next comes the question of bacterial infection in tumour sites that is a common, painful and distressing side effect of cancer sufferers. We can offer natural treatments to help reduce infection - whether they are surface infections, such as Karposi's Sarcoma or internal tumours. For surface infections, we make our own Skin Treatment Cream, that also has application in acne and psoriasis.
New frequencies for pain mitigation can also improve the comfort level of patients, the number one breakthrough being an electronic pulse therapy as mentioned above, called Frequency Specific Microcurrent.

Asthma, Rhinitis, Eczema/Dermatitis
The Atopic Triad of Asthma, Rhinitis and Eczema / Dermatitis remains the biggest challenge of traditional herbal medicine. Luckily, recent innovations in this field and nutritional medicine have made it possible to expect a much better wellness outcome for these conditions.

Asthma
Complementary medicine has lots to offer in helping to treat the symptoms, the underlying causes and hopefully working towards a state of wellness with this condition.
Many issues of the lungs, including asthma, respond well to natural therapy. Naturally, your first objective is to have this condition properly controlled using medical help if necessary. Once it has been stabilised, herbal, homoeopathic and nutritional medicine are well placed to then build your health profile to aim for a wellness outcome.
Dermatitis / Eczema
This vexatious condition can respond well to the approach we follow using complementary medicine. The important point to remember is that you need some patience in going through the process necessary to achieve a wellness outcome. That is because we need to not only treat the symptoms of eczema (the inflammation and the itch) but also we need to identify and tackle the underlying causes (as with all of our treatments of chronic illnesses).
Rhinitis
Treating the symptoms with herbal medicine is the easy part. We must emphasise again however that in order to reduce your tendency to contract this dis-ease, it is important to undergo a complete wellness programme.
This approach may prevent the long-term use of antihistamines and steroidal pharmaceuticals like Beclomethasone with its associated damaging side-effects which medium to long term use can produce.
