18.01.2022 With the current global and local concerns around the Coronavirus we want to provide you with some practical and reassuring advice around how to take care of yo...urselves and each other. We understand that the current situation is confusing, and the uncertainty can be frightening for some. We believe that first and foremost, we need to look after each other. We’ve therefore put together a list of simple steps you can take at this time to take care of yourselves and your loved ones. We have also listed ways in which you can access our care in the event that you have reason to avoid coming in in person (see further below) we have several options for phone and skype consultations as well as having items posted to you, and we can make this very easy for you! Our list of suggestions below has been compiled with the intention of providing you with simple steps for actions you can take at home, or recommendations for things that you can access fairly easily. These treatments have the potential to support your general health and immune resilience, but to be clear, none of them have any proven action in preventing or treating coronavirus infection. Gargle and drink GREEN TEA. Consuming green tea, in particular gargling it, has been shown to reduce the risk of contracting influenza and the common cold. The tannins in green tea have been shown to have broad antiviral effects topically. In one study, residents in an aged care facility gargling the equivalent of cup of green tea three times daily were more than 15 times less likely (OR 15.7) to catch the flu https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=16970537 Take a Vitamin D supplement. Living in Tasmania is known to increase our risk of having low vitamin D. A number of studies have shown that taking vitamin D, particularly in people who are vitamin D deficient, reduces the chances of developing acute respiratory infections including influenza. Most studies reviewed used adult doses ranging from 2000IU to 4000IU a day, which is known to be safe to take long term even in the absence of deficiency https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=30675873 Eat probiotic foods daily. Consuming probiotic foods regularly or taking a probiotic supplement has been shown to reduce the risk of developing an upper respiratory tract infection https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=25927096 You can consume probiotics through foods such as probiotic yogurt (Vaalia has 3 well researched viable strains in therapeutic amounts), sauerkraut or kimchi, in addition to many others. All of these can be consumed on a daily basis. If you would prefer to take a supplement, talk to us at Goulds about the most ideal one for your situation. Eat plenty of raw crushed GARLIC. We don’t care if you stink, we can all stink together! Garlic is one of nature’s best antimicrobials, and it is quite amazing in that it appears to be selective in its action - it doesn’t wipe out your good bacteria. Local organic garlic is best if you can access it, but don’t worry if you can’t eat what you can find. Ensure you are eating raw garlic according to your own tolerance as not everyone can stomach it. We find that adding crushed garlic to a meal just before consuming it, or having it with avocado on wholesome bread, improves tolerability. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=PMC4103721 Keep any medicines you regularly use in stock and within date. This includes pharmaceuticals (check your scripts are also in date), herbal remedies and nutritional supplements. At Goulds we have taken measures to ensure we have enough immune and respiratory herbs in stock to get through the winter season, and while we encourage you to be prepared, we emphatically ask that you don’t stock pile herbs, so that we can continue to serve the community through the winter period. Tinctures are also not something we can accept returns for, so please think about how much you realistically need. We are setting a limit of 500ml per person for respiratory and immune mixes, and while we won’t be policing repeat visits, we ask that everyone be mindful of others within the community also having access to herbal medicines. Keep your home above 16C. Having a cold home reduces respiratory resilience and increases susceptibility to and mortality from respiratory tract infections. This is especially important for people who are elderly, asthmatic, or have other chronic/recurrent respiratory conditions. http://www.instituteofhealthequity.org//the-health-impacts Eat a healthy well balanced diet. Eat an abundance of plant foods, high antioxidant foods (especially berries, kiwifruit and purple grapes), fresh local fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and plenty of legumes. These help to feed your beneficial gut bacteria, which will assist you with immune resilience. They also ensure you have a healthy intake of vitamin C along with other nutrients important for immune health. Don’t overindulge with alcohol. Binge drinking is bad for your gut flora, and also impairs immune function and increases the severity of respiratory tract infections https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4590612/ If you smoke, action a quit plan. Contact QuitTas for support https://www.quittas.org.au/ Get enough sleep, maintain a healthy exercise regime, and try to keep stress levels in check. We understand that these things can be easier said than done, but all three of these are integral to your immune system working well. So take the opportunities that present to take care of yourself. If you do get sick, don’t panic, but please minimise your contact with other people, and follow the guidelines about self-isolation. SELF ISOLATION IS RECOMMENDED IF: You have returned from or transited through any high-risk countries within the last 14 days. (It appears prudent to extend this to moderate risk countries also.) At the time of writing this post (12th March 2020) the following countries are considered high and moderate risk: Mainland China; Iran; Italy; South Korea; Cambodia; Hong Kong; Indonesia; Japan; Singapore and Thailand. It appears that USA may soon be classed as moderate risk also. You have been in close contact with anyone who has recently transited through these countries. You have been in contact with anyone who has confirmed coronavirus or is suspected to be at risk of being exposed to the virus. You have recently returned from anywhere overseas and have even mild cold or flu symptoms. ***In all of these cases you should call the Coronavirus hotline on 1800 671 738 in Hobart or 1800 020 080 nationally (in Australia) to clarify your next step. https://www.health.gov.au//coronavirus-covid-19-informatio We can offer you support remotely over the phone or skype, rather than in person. How can we help you if you have symptoms or are at risk of carrying the virus, and need our support? We can offer you naturopathic advice over the phone just as you would receive if you visited our Apothecary We offer phone and skype consultations in our clinic We do postal orders and can send any products out to you or if you are local, you could arrange for a friend or family member to collect medicines for you. If you are uncertain or want to avoid exposing others, please give us a call as we can still help you. Our phones are very busy at the moment, so if you can’t get through to us immediately, wait a little while and try us again. Our reception team will also endeavour to return any missed calls. Rest assured that we are here for you, and will help you as quickly as we can. We are taking steps to minimise the spread of infections in our clinic and apothecary, and our staff are also taking many measures to support their immune systems, in order to approach this season in a proactive way. Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate this together.

15.01.2022 Today is World Mental Health Day. Did you know 1 in 5 Australians are affected by mental illness? Unfortunately, many people don't seek help due to stigma relat...ed to mental health. World Mental Health Day aims to shed a more positive light on mental health. There is a lot of research supporting the benefits of diet and lifestyle interventions to support good mental health. A great example of this is the recent SMILES trial (great name huh?). This trial looked at how introducing a modified Mediterranean diet could influence mental health. And guess what? This simple intervention improved people's mood scores, showing that changing your food choices can improve your mood! For more information on how to implement some of these mood boosting diet changes, check out https://foodandmoodcentre.com.au/smiles-trial/ As well as diet, another big influence on poor mental health is isolation. To help reduce the stigma on mental illness and reduce isolation in our communities, consider talking to your friends and family about supporting each other towards good mental health, building stronger and more connected communities.

03.01.2022 GOULDS COMMUNITY OFFERING We, along with the rest of Tasmania, are immensely grateful to all the people putting themselves out there to try and contain the bush... fires burning across the state. THANK YOU. Our heart goes out to all those affected by the fires and impacted by the smoke. We are touched by the community's acts of generosity that have taken place over these past few weeks - of people everywhere reaching out to help others. How can we help? We can offer free natural health advice either in person or over the phone: please don't hesitate to call us on 03 6234 4223 and ask to speak with one of our naturopaths. We can give you suggestions regarding home remedies to help reduce the impact of the smoke on respiratory health, and we can support you in coping with stress and worry. Through our Pay it Forward program and the generous donations we have received from our customers and patients, as well as donations we make ourselves, we are able to provide some free natural medicine treatments to those with financial hardship. We are also keen to support those in the front line fighting the fires. Please reach out to us if this is you or a family member. Again thank you to everyone for coming together during this difficult time - for loving, supporting and caring for each other. Stay safe everyone, The team at Goulds Natural Medicine

01.01.2022 We need your help in recruiting participants who live in Australia and are the parent or carer of a child who has Eosinophilic Oesophagitis (EoE) and is between... the ages of 1 month and 18 years. As EoE is a rare but emerging disease recruiting participants who are not members of online support groups can be challenging. Your assistance in passing on this information to any potential participants would be greatly appreciated. Why is the research being conducted? Currently, there is no cure for Eosinophilic Oesophagitis (EoE) and treatment involves strict food elimination diets, steroid medication and special nutritional formulas. EoE patients often feel socially isolated due to their food restrictions. This research aims to identify what types of medicines and therapies are being used for the treatment of paediatric EoE, to gain further understanding as to why they are being used and who is recommending them; and to obtain insight into parents’ perspectives of the physical and emotional impact of paediatric EoE on patients and their families. The results will highlight areas in which additional support may be needed to improve the management of paediatric EoE and support EoE families. What will participants have to do? They will be asked to complete an online survey (approximately 25 mins duration). Questions will explore quality of life and experiences in the healthcare system for paediatric EoE. Survey participants will be given an option to go into the draw to win one of five $50 gift vouchers. Who is behind this project? The researchers involved in this project "Exploring healthcare use, burden of disease and satisfaction with care in paediatric eosinophilic oesophagitis" are from Griffith University. Ethics approval has been obtained from the Griffith University Human Research Ethics Committee (GU Ref No: 2018/120). For further information contact Nicole Hannan on [email protected] Note: In order to protect the anonymity of potential participants please close social media posts to comments and avoid using names when sharing.
