21.01.2022 If you are unable to convert folate, your body cannot absorb the nutrients and supplements you consume. Our experienced naturopath will test for MTHFR and, if you are a mutated gene carrier and suffering from the condition, offer solutions that will help you convert folate more efficiently. http://www.blossomclinic.com.au/mthfr/

21.01.2022 My FIRST ever foraged meal from "weeds" in my warrandyte garden I found dandelion leaves and flowers, cleavers (sticky weed) sow thistle, onion weed and rocket. Then added garlic infused olive oil, lemon, cannellini beans and sea salt and it's really yummy !!! The more I learn about genetics the more I see we need to trust nature and our Grass roots, as we co-evolved with plants.

20.01.2022 CORONAVIRUS ADVICE Many clients are understandably concerned about the coronavirus and have been asking for advice ( in addition to sensible hygiene and isolation techniques) Here are some of my suggestions. Vitamins, Homoeopathics and herbs. ... 1/ At the moment China has commenced successfully using vitamin therapy to help overcome the situation, specifically intravenous vitamin C. Liposomal vitamin C taken orally reaches blood levels near intravenous and even regular vitamin C will help. a striking fact is that wild and domesticated animals (rodents, poultry, dogs, cats, pigs) harbor this respiratory coronavirus but dont develop life-threatening pneumonia and succumb to infection..There is strong circumstantial as well as scientific evidence that wild mammals exhibit immunity from coronaviruses and viruses in general because most animals internally produce vitamin C. Keep in mind that pollution, stress and heavy metals weaken us as well as deficiencies... all of which seem to be present in the places where it's taking a toll. The most vulnerable people are those who are deficient or immune compromised, who develop pneumonia. 2/ enhance your innate immune response... this is what your body does when it first comes into contact with a new virus/ bacteria. Flu is not really a winter bug... it's there all year round ... but we become susceptible to it when our vitamin D drops as it does in winter. Research and studies show VITAMIN D is much more effective than vaccines for flu. Same with VIT A which everyone seems to have forgotten. Excellent source is liver... and cod liver oil and butter to a lesser extent. Vitamin A increases our natural killer cells and immune response. 3/ passive immunity is something you can use if you are worried about your immune system not being strong enough. Certain prebiotics, especially GOS ( oligosaccarhides ) act as "decoys" latching onto the virus and preventing its attachment to us. It can be bought as a supplement. Breast milk is very rich is these precious types of GOS and if you breastfeed 3-4 times a day that reaches protective levels for your baby. 4/ For 30 years now, my flu prevention drops have been helping. Many clients including myself use them with glowing reports. I personally take those and vitamin A and D and have never had a flu despite being close contact with patients who have it. If I feel extra extra support is needed I may also make an antiviral mix of herbs such as elderberry and reishi...with immune vitamins added. Phone consultations are available for those wishing extra advice and support

18.01.2022 Dear Clients, We now have available a specific genetic report for coronavirus. It covers the genes most likely to result in increased inflammation or immune issues and helps explain why some people have intense symptoms and others remain symptom free. It is as I already suspected... that those with higher ACE function and interleukin mutations may need extra support. If we have already helped you in the past with genetic nutrition, then the new report is only $30 ... plus consultation. Yours in health, care and happiness always, Karen

16.01.2022 VITAMIN A is essential but nearly all of us are VERY DEFICIENT ! There is a common misconception that that the beta carotene in fruits and vegetables is the same as Vitamin A....It's not. Beta carotene is the (inactive )precursor of retinol,(bioavailable Vitamin A), which must be converted by our bodies via the BCOM genes. However as low as only 3% gets converted and that's assuming you are not one of the 45% that don't convert it all. Most folk have variants on the BCOM ge...ne and greatly reduced conversion of beta carotene to retinol. Vitamin A is found in significant amounts only in liver and grass fed animal products. You would need to consume plant beta carotene is huge quantities to get the vitamin A you require. The chart below shows just how much ! Vitamin A is essential for our immune system, liver and gut health to name a few. Most women are deficient especially as Vitamin A has been removed from our modern diet and supplements. Our ancestors practice of eating liver and offal as dropped off and vitamin A has been removed from most pregnancy vitamins due to a poorly designed study. Your requirements during pregnancy is 10,000IUs. Excellent sources are organic liver and grass fed butter and ghee. Wishing you and you children robust health Karen See more

16.01.2022 Dear clients and FB followers Wishing you a wonderful start to the new decade. For me it's always filled with fresh hope, wonder and love for our world and people. A few weeks ago my daughter rescued hundreds of tadpoles and put them into our water pot pond located at the clinic entrance. What joy it was for myself and clients, especially our little ones, to see so many new froglets emerging !

16.01.2022 Lovely Christmas decorations here in the The Blossom Clinic's garden in Warrandyte ! Thank you to all clients and families for a wonderful year of working together and best wishes a very happy, healthy and peaceful new year www.blossomclinic.com.au

14.01.2022 We firmly believe with your assistance we have given our daughter the healthiest start in life that we could have. Testimonial http://www.blossomclinic.com.au/

14.01.2022 Our bodies are wonderful in their complexity and uniqueness. The ageing process just like any other experience is unique in everyone. To gain an understanding of your health needs, its a good idea to speak with a health professional. http://www.blossomclinic.com.au/healthy-ageing/

14.01.2022 Preparing your body for the experiences of pregnancy and birth can be helpful for yourself and your child. This can include health assessments and nutritional planning to make the most of this special time. http://www.blossomclinic.com.au/fertility/

14.01.2022 YOUR WONDERFUL INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEM ! (as opposed to acquired immunity) is the best defence of all !! Here are 4 first steps to effectively prevent disease, colds and flus. Your own innate immune response is what fights virus and bacteria when meeting it for the very first time. Without any previous exposure or immunity, a healthy innate immune response will deal with the exposure, resulting in a natural long lasting and broad aquired immunity. Research and clinical results... prove the following extremely helpful 1/ VITAMIN D. There is no flu season as such. Flu and cold virus are around all year but we are more susceptible during winter because our vitamin D levels fall. Aim for 2,000 IUs per day for adults and half or less for children. Butter, ghee and filtered cod liver oil are great sources 2/ VITAMIN A. Once again also shown to improve innate immunity. Both A and D strengthen the whole mucous membranes in all parts of the body, from the lungs to the gut. Humans are genetically not good at converting beta carotene in vegetables, to the bioavailable form of Vitamin A, so best sources are butter or ghee, filtered quality cod liver oil and my favourite ( as many clients know ) organic liver ! ( our ancestors knew how good it was ) 3/ REMOVE FOODS THAT PROVOKE IMMUNE RESPONSES A simple finger prick blood test for elevated antibodies, will identify which foods your body fights in the same way as a virus or bacteria. Removing these foods, frees up your immune system for fighting other foreign invaders. The ongoing inflammation, produced by immune reactions to foods, is draining to our bodies and reduces our innate ability to respond promptly and effectively. Removing also improves other chronic symptoms from fatigue to migraines. Common foods include dairy, egg and gluten. 4/ AVOID IMMUNE DISRUPTING TOXINS the worst are chlorine, glyphosate (round up), other organophosphates, pesticides and heavy metals. Heavy metals especially mercury (which is the most toxic non radioactive substance on our planet ) is found in some pharmaceuticals, fish, amalgams and polluted water. I found thiomersol (mercury preservative ) in saline eye drops for babies, recently in my local supermarket !!! Invest in Organic food, filtered water and insist on non toxic medicines. Wishing you all ongoing health and happiness Karen

13.01.2022 HOW TO SWITCH ON YOUR SLOW MTHFR GENE If you have this "mutation" then it's not just about taking Methyl folate. Sure if your health has declined to a certain point then it may be necessary as part of a restorative program, but this gene variant has been around a long time, passed on by our ancestors who did not have access to specialised supplements. The mutation has only become a problem because of changes in our diet, environment and artificial additives. Certain nutrients speed up the function of the MTFHF gene primarily vitamins B2 and B3 plus vitamin C. A diet rich is these foods and in organic fruit and veges will enhance MTHFR enzyme function. Artificial folate and vitamins, pesticides gluten and panadol and lack of exercise will slow down the function and indeed the whole folate pathway.

11.01.2022 MTHFR and RECOVERY FROM AUTISM focusing on environmental and genetic pathways to restore health. These days l dont call autism and its many shades of expression, such as ASD, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, tics etc, by these names anymore. The findings of many researchers, especially genetic studies and through witnessing the recovery of children here at the Blossom clinic, It has become clear that the correct term is neurological toxicity and/or chronic neurological inf...Continue reading

11.01.2022 Dear clients, the Chinese government is officially using 4-16,000 mg of vitamin C intravenously for coronavirus. I recommend 10 grams (10,000mg) of vitamin C, as a divided dose over the day. In your water bottle and sipped is an ideal way to boost your immune system This works almost as well as having Liposomal and intravenous if not available. Children are half dose

05.01.2022 CROUP SEASON STARTING NOW Aconite 200 and Spongia 200 drops are extremely fast and effective for treating most croup type virus as Autumn peeks around the corner. Can look different from adults to children ( adults don't get the stridor and less of of a barking cough) but often begins with a tickle in throat or tickly dry cough and progresses to runny nose and barking cough. It's triggered by more dramatic changing of temperatures from warm days to cooler nights. Kids may... start with a fever in which case give Aconite first or may go quickly into runny nose and barking "seal" cough in which case give spongia. If unsure give both. Try not to suppress fever with panadol as the fever is needed to make antibodies and helps ensure a quick immune response and recovery. To support your child keep the air moist with a humidifier and give licorice, peppermint and chamomile tea to smooth the mucus membranes. Vitamin A and D help in the prevention and can be taken as cod liver oil... just like my mother gave me. Most parents tell me the remedies resolve both the fever and cough quickly and do not require further intervention. If a cough is not responding it requires further examination and treatment. We stock these and all other children's Homoeopathic remedies and can post out. See more

01.01.2022 NATURAL HAYFEVER RELIEF Well it's that time of year and there is a simple way to reduce histamine reactions without herbs, pharmaceuticals or supplements ! Reduce the amounts of histamines entering your body in particular foods. Any fermented or aged foods will have naturally occurring histamines. "Emptying your bucket" means your threshold will improve. Kefir, miso, tamari, soy sauce, sauerkraut and all cultured foods contain high amounts of naturally occurring histamine, a...s does left over or aged foods such as salami, most cheeses and deli style foods and dips. Stick to fresh meat, fruit, veges and herbs for your meals. Histamines will also be made by our own gut, as the gut bacteria ( BOTH good and bad ) feed off sugars. So avoiding all forms of sugar and probiotics at hay fever time can completely remove symptoms for some people. Taking garlic, thyme and oregano daily will help reduce bacteria overload in our guts.
