25.01.2022 Today my Facebook feed is filled with messages saying a final good bye to a dear friend who have had an impact on so many lives. She was a shining light in life and will continue to be a star in the night sky. She was an advocate for animal welfare and looked after her health better than most. She was taken way too soon, forever young. In light of this this I would like to share the signs and symptoms of colorectal (bowel) cancer. Please take note of your body and bowel habits, of in doubt get tested and if you are over 50 you will receive a free testing kit in the mail. Please use it. https://www.cancer.org.au/canc/types-of-cancer/bowel-cancer

25.01.2022 Sleep amazing sleep

24.01.2022 This is essentially what we do to our bodies when we go onto the birth control pill (OCP). Put it into menopause till we are ready to have babies ... Did you know that there was a male contraceptive pill trialled - but it had too many side effects (less side effects than the OCP, but anyhow ) I think all women should watch this and be informed - what you decide to do after that is your choice, but be informed https://www.facebook.com/thebizof/videos/341793413509052/

21.01.2022 Intermittent fasting I have seen a few posts in general social media regarding questions on intermittent fasting (IF). I think its a great tool for health for certain people and for certain conditions. I do think that it needs to be monitored by a healthcare provider with some knowledge on the subject. If you would like to learn more about it and why it can be so useful, read up on Dr Jason Fungs work. He has published a few books on the subject matter and have used it in a... clinical setting for many years. He has found great benefit with fasting / IF in helping people with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Fasts (when you are not eating anything) can lasts anywhere from 12 hours to a few weeks. The longer the fast the more important it is to be under qualified supervision. Fasting is common in many cultures and religions (Greek Orthodox / Islam) and have been an Integral part of many peoples lives for centuries. If you would like to discuss the ins and outs of Intermittent fasting feel free to ask questions in the comments. #intermittedfasting #type2diabetes #insulinreaistance

20.01.2022 I went looking for some hand sanitiser today, but its all sold out - like everywhere! So I made my own #MYOhandsanitiser

20.01.2022 Immune Health VIT D There have been loads of scientific studies to underscore what we have been preaching for decades. The sun heals. Go out into the sunlight and interact with nature. Even in 1918 flue pandemic patients were wheeled outside to get sunlight, because that made them better. Now we know sunlight brings us Vitamin D. Vitamin D is very significant in your immune health. I have a genetic SNP that reduces my conversion from D to to the bioavailable form D3, I there...fore take a Vitamin D supplement to boost my low levels (there is a blood test for Vit D levels) Vitamin D is significant to help with respiratory illness, cancer and many other illness states. #askyournaturopath #vitDandhealth #naturalhealth

19.01.2022 I cant say I understand the need to stock up on toilet paper If it was me Id be popping into the chemist, your local naturopath, health food store etc. and procuring a few immune supporting supplements or herbs Increase fresh fruit and veg intake and stay hydrated ... just saying

19.01.2022 Since we are all spending a bit more time at home - why not take this opportunity to detox your house? Get rid of toxic chemicals, plastics and other products that is not great for your health. #detoxthehouse #cleanliving #naturalhealth

19.01.2022 At the risk of stepping on toes, I feel very strongly against the ingestion of essential oils on a daily / casual basis. Please only ingest essential oils if under the care of someone who is very well versed in their therapeutic use - not just a weekend course here and there kinda informed. I love these oils, but I respect their power for good and bad. Oh and if you have pets, please research which oils are safe - if you have cats I would be VERY careful on how and where to use essential oils, cats are notoriously sensitive to many substances.

19.01.2022 I love this woman, could not agree more. Its not just one remedy, and voila its magically fixed. It was a long road to get you (or your child) the current health issue. It is an equally long road to recovery. ... Your health is your biggest investment. Its about priorities, dont wait till its too late. Do something today, start to listen to your body

19.01.2022 This is certainly worth taking note of, unfortunately cancer touches too many of us on a personal level. Whatever we can do to help our chances is worth looking into. Diet is so important in so many illnesses. https://www.createcures.org/new-clinical-study-on-the-com/

18.01.2022 Knowing how damaging glyphosate can be for the body, I would always recommend organic or bio-dynamic where possible. It is good to see that the bodys load can be reduced ! https://www.ehn.org/glyphosate-organic-food-2646939278.html

18.01.2022 As an herbalist we all have a special few herbs we love. One of mine is dandelion. It is such a versatile herb, one can use the leaves and flowers in a salad, the roots can be dried and roasted and used to help liver function. The dried leaves are particularly indicated for kidney functions and mild liver support. Lastly but not least - many a seed head has been used to blow a wish upon the wind :) #dandelion

18.01.2022 No matter what you call it, (prayer / meditation or sending love and healing vibes), keeping our thoughts to others and ourselves pure and in love is not only good for you but also for those around you.

17.01.2022 Why am I passionate about womens health? Because I have had so many women coming to me saying - it is probably noting ... it must be in my head... maybe I am imagining it... no-one thinks it is a problem... No, you are not imagining it- lets talk and figure it out

17.01.2022 I must admit that I am a bit of a Dr Charlie Teo fan. Please don't use your phone for prolonged conversations pressed against your head. Hands free, speaker or earbuds are better - and watch the EMF in your house, switch your router off at night, especially if you have children. The brain cancer stats for young adults are rising.

15.01.2022 Immune Health LOWERING INFLAMMATION Our diet is the most basic and fundamental influence in our health. By having a healthy diet filled with a rainbow of veggies and fruits, healthy fats and protein, (as well as a healthy dose of sunlight and nature combined with some movement) is all we need to have a healthy robust immune system. Removing inflammatory foods such as sugars and other processed foods high in carbohydrates, will go a long way in, not only protecting us for inf...lammation, but also lower high insulin and leptin, improving our metabolism, which in return will improve our immune function and provide us will all the necessary micro and macro nutrients for our bodies to function optimally. So this Easter, enjoy the chocolate eggs, but dont fall into the inflammation causing sugar trap. #reduceimflammation #buildyourimmumesystem #naturalhealth

15.01.2022 I am happy to say that I have completed this e-course in COVID-19. Rest assured that I adhere to all safety regulations regarding hygiene, for your safety and mine.

15.01.2022 Tissue Salts / Schuessler Salts Tissue salts, are also called cell salts, Scheussler Salts or biochemic salts. They are essentially minerals, that are found i...n and around us (rocks, soils, food). Dr. Schuessler (1828-1898), was a 19th century German doctor, that found when the human body is reduced to ashes, it comprises of 12 minerals. When these minerals are perfectly balanced in our bodies, we are in good health. Due to the poor quality of present day solid, our foods are increasingly lacking these essential building blocks. Modern day living and stress also robs our bodies from these minerals. Dr. Schuessler believed that these inorganic minerals are the basis for health and well being, he developed these 'salts' to be easily absorbed in our system to help regain the balance we need. Did you know that some believe these salts can also be linked to astrological constitution types? Relevant to those born in September is Kali Sulph (Virgo ) and Nat Phos (Libra ) needs to take 2 tablets daily to stay in balance...

14.01.2022 Soy is a controversial food when it comes to female hormones. Lara Briden explains its action beautifully, no need to reinvent the weel.

13.01.2022 I recently did a post on my Quantum Creatures page on what I feed my dogs and a few pointers on how to feed an unprocessed diet, easily and balanced. #unproceseddogfood #healthydogfiood #easyraw

13.01.2022 Work buddy and I are very excited to have our new edition phototherapy desk reference arrive!!!

12.01.2022 Some of you might have heard or read, that pets can spread COVID19. This is not accurate. Although there are Corona Virus strains found in various animals, they are not readily communicable to humans. The mutated strain of CoVID19 is only transmitted from human to human. The Australian Veterinary Association has released the following statement pertaining pets. https://austvetassoc.wistia.com/medias/qih1a3cron

11.01.2022 Aknowledging the emotional toll illness and injury can have on health is often ovelooked in the health profession. I see you, I hear you, I hold a space for your healing

11.01.2022 Diffusing essential oils in your home. With all this crazy going in at the moment and so many questions about diffusing essential oils in the home to kill the germs, I though I would add my feelings on this. If you have pets (or small children) - dont diffuse all day every day - a few hours here and there. Especially if you have cats. Dogs can tolerate the scents better than cats, but even they have issues with oils long term and certain oils can cause issues fairly quickl...y. Cats cant break down the oils and this cause liver damage in the long run, same as with dogs. If you want to use these oils place a few drops on some cotton and inhale from time to time. This goes for all those artificial plugin sprays as well - they are not great for your health or that of your pets. #essentialoilsandpets #usingessentialoilssafely

11.01.2022 Its time again to share this - there are many other options to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) other than Premarin. Please use them.

09.01.2022 Herbs should be used in everyday life. If you need some inspiration have a look at Jamies video, talking you though using your herbs in cooking. https://youtu.be/Za1x92jq2L4

08.01.2022 It sometimes scares me how uninformed people can be. I mean people with the actual disease and their family or friends. Gluten allergy may not present with a rash, shortness of breath or need for an epi-pen, its long term effects are just as damaging, to those who have coeliacs disease. Apart from developing major nutrition deficiencies, be at risk of developing more autoimmune diseases and just plain old stomach issues, the brain is also involved. So please take this serio...usly, talk to an informed healthcare practitioner and get tested for the gene and if you are positive (yes I know most people with the gene will not develop coeliac disease ... but why take the risk ?) or the IgG blood test- or the biopsy if you so wish. If you would like to discuss your options, please feel free to contact me. #preventionisbetterthancure #coeliacdisease #ellenbrooknaturopath

07.01.2022 Remembering those who have paid the ultimate price in our wars. Lest we forget.

06.01.2022 Anxiety in dogs can be reduced by engaging your dog in training, giving his mind an additional outlet to focus on.

06.01.2022 I've had a lot of questions about what would I recommend people do to reduce their risks of either getting the coronavirus, or treating it. I will give more adv...ice here! As I've said in my previous articles on the topic, our medicines and supplements regulator (the Therapeutic Goods Administration or TGA) has warned all health practitioners to not recommend any products or therapies or make any claims that they can either prevent or treat the coronavirus, unless there is published evidence of their effectiveness against this specific virus. But of course with this virus being very new, there is NO evidence of any therapy, either natural or pharmaceutical, that can claim to prevent or treat this infection. There is NO evidence that washing your hands will prevent this coronavirus! Yet the TGA, and health departments and doctors are happy to be hypocrites and recommend this and basically nothing else, because they have nothing else to help you. I find their lack of advice to you, and the public in general, to be pathetic and next to useless. Their lack of acceptance of natural preventatives or treatments based on PAST evidence on all other types of coronaviruses, is insane and likely to cost a lot more people their lives. They SHOULD be recommending more preventative strategies based on past evidence. But they aren't... Since I can't apparently give you advice or recommendations, I will tell you what I would do! But firstly, since there is no vaccine for this new virus, you are totally dependent on your immune system for protection, prevention and recovery for this infection. Your immune systems have developed over millennia to protect you 24/7 from any and all known and unknown infections. Your immune systems are amazing! They know exactly what to do whenever a new bacteria or virus comes along that it hasn't seen before. That's why you need to help your immune system to do its job! Washing your hands won't help much at all, especially when you can simply BREATHE in the virus from being in close proximity to others who are infected. I started recommending strategies and products for immune system support weeks ago, when the virus first started making the news. I need to actively support my immune system, because if I don't, I can get infections easily. That's just my dodgy genetics combined with not looking after myself at times in the past! The main strategies and products I use for prevention include: Vitamin C at a higher dose - vitamin C is a proven immune system stimulant, effective against most infections in research studies and including against other forms of the coronavirus (the common cold virus and SARS). However, a 100mg, 250mg or 500mg daily dose of vitamin C is nowhere near enough! This is a deficiency-preventing dose, not a therapeutic dose. I am taking at last 2000mg daily for prevention at this time. Vitamin D at a higher dose - Vitamin D is a huge immune system booster, anti-inflammatory, and many other benefits. Low vitamin D levels are the cause of seasonal flu outbreaks and other respiratory infections. We usually see such respiratory infection outbreaks in winter, when vitamin D levels are lowest! Many studies show improving vitamin D levels by supplementing in the cooler months can reduce incidences and severity of colds and flu! All the more reason to start getting onto this now that summer is over! I am taking 4000IU daily now. Zinc - I find that a large percentage of my clients are deficient in this essential mineral, which is needed for good immune system function against infections, and a lot of other uses and benefits. Dose - once daily (avoid zinc oxide products). I take 1x 25-30mg dose daily. Probiotics - Your probiotic bacteria in your digestive tract make most of your immune system proteins, hence its importance in improving your immune system function. A good quality multi-strain probiotic is good, or regular fermented foods, together with a healthy variety of foods can greatly help your immune system. I would take one capsule once daily to start. Herbal medicines - many herbal medicines have immune system boosting effects as proven in published research, as well as some having antiviral effects, even against other coronavirus species! One very well tolerated (and tasty) one is elderberry - which has immune stimulating actions as well as being an antiviral herb. Also, garlic has potent antiviral and antimicrobial effects! Both elderberry and garlic have been shown effective against other coronavirus strains in research. Licorice (the real licorice, not the sweet lolly form!) also has antiviral effects against other coronaviruses. There are a lot more herbs which can help your immune system and have antiviral effects. I can't recommend more here or their doses, as other factors need to be taken into account, such as medication interactions and personalised dosing etc. See me for more advice on these. Water intake - keeping up your water intake is very important! Sufficient water will keep your mucus membranes in your nose and respiratory tract nice and moist, which will trap and stop viruses and bacteria from infecting your cells there. Good hygiene - This is the only thing that you are being told to do - wash your hands regularly with soap and water, and stop touching your face, eyes and nose etc. Sneeze or cough into the crook of your arm/elbow, and not into your hand! Sleep quality and quantity - this is needed for cellular and tissue repair, detoxing, and immune system functions. So make sure to get sufficient quantity and quality sleep! Reducing stress - Stress not only depletes some essential nutrients needed for your immune system, but stress reduces your immune system function on its own. Hence reduce your stress exposure, or improve how you deal with stress. Exercise, meditation, breathing exercises, and more can help reduce the effects of stress. Improving your nutrient intake - your immune system is reliant on a variety of nutrients to make your white blood cells (your infection-fighting cells). Avoid sugary foods and drinks, as these can reduce your vitamin C levels, increase inflammation and weaken your immune system. Similarly, reduce intake of high carbohydrate foods, such as grain-based products like cereals, breads, pasta, bakery products and alcohol, as these have the same effects as sugar. Eat more vegetables, more protein and healthy fats too! I'm not concerned about the coronavirus, because I have been doing the above to reduce my risks, as well as supporting my immune system. However, I am concerned for others who have chronic health issues who are much more at risk of this infection. But if you know friends or family who are at risk, getting them to use the above recommendations will greatly reduce their risks of getting this infection or reducing the severity of it. The media are beating up this issue far more than necessary, causing much stress and panic. Remember that the infection has at least a 97% survival rate! We need common sense to prevail, not knee-jerk government reactions such as lockdowns or restrictions on rights and freedoms. Buying more toilet paper won't prevent or treat this coronavirus! The above points can! Don't rely on your government or health authorities to protect you, because they are next to useless at the moment on this issue. Stay healthy!

05.01.2022 How much have your world changed in the last week! Some of us have to deal with job losses, others with having the family underfoot all day. Out pets are dealing with attention all day (not % sure, but I think at least one of my cats are plotting my death). No matter how big, or how small the impact of this virus has on you - remember to breathe, try and list 3 things every morning or night that you are grateful for and keep healthy. Eat well (lots of fresh veggies and foo...d), keep hydrated (with water - the Pimms is for after isolation), go outside for fresh air and get some sunshine. Have virtual lunch with your friends (I did today). Check up on parents and neighbours. There is plenty of support out there to get us through this. If I can be of any help please sing out. I am now conducting online / phone consults as well - PM me for bookings. I wish you all health (from a safe distance of course ) #ellenbrooknaturopath #stayhealthy #petthedog
