20.01.2022 I just read an article in the Guardian about the Corona virus which stated - What everyone is worried about is 1918 Spanish flu. Fifty million deaths in a flu season. That was over 100,000 deaths a day. Felt like a good time to remind everyone about this miraculous plant - Lomatium. During the Spanish flu epidemic a young physician Dr Ernst Krebs assigned to the Indian Bureau in Nevada noticed that unlike others, the local Washoe native people were not dying of influenza.... He inquired about their medicine, and was informed it was Lomatium. He stated, "Whether a coincidence or not, there was not a single death in the Washoe tribe from influenza or its complications, although Indians living in other parts of the State where the root did not grow died in numbers. Apparently hopeless cases recovered without any other medication or care." Early trials found preparations of the plant to be active against all 62 strains of bacteria and fungi tested, more recent studies confirmed this with the greatest activity against MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) strain. Lomatium was traditionally used against viral infections. Constituents of Lomatium have shown to be antiviral by penetrating the viral coat and suppressing chemokines associated with poor prognosis. All studies so far have been in vitro, however, we have 100 years of OBWM (observed by white man) demonstrated evidence of efficacy against virulent infections in humans and probably hundreds of years before that. Personally we have prescribed Lomatium for years in our infection and immune stimulating mixes with great effect. To find our more, send us a message or visit our store at rivermedicines.com.

20.01.2022 MYRRH Studies show that it eradicates parasites A Group of Egyptian scientists examined the effect of myrrh on parasites. Results were very impressive at over 95% cure rate without any major side effects. Subsequent trials have shown 100% eradication of parasitic infections. Dosages varied and treatment was by way of a pulse method where the dried extract or liquid tincture of the whole extract of the herb was given over a period of 3 to 9 days. After a break of around 4 to 1...4 days the dose can be repeated for another 3 to 9 days. This process can be continued until the parasites are eradicated. Of particular note was the evaluation of the herb in 13 women with metronidazole-resistant (a prescription anti-parasitic) trichomoniasis vaginalis in an open-label trial. Successful treatment occurred in 11 patients. Myrrh has been known to cause allergic reactions in some cases. The likelihood of such reactions is lessened by the use of the pulse dosage method as described above. Additionally, Myrrh is not to be taken in the form of the essential oil. This form is not effective in parasite treatment and can be toxic. The treatment of parasitic infections using Myrrh is best done under the supervision of a suitably experienced health practitioner to manage the potential ‘die off ‘ reaction which can occur when the contents of the dead parasites enter your system.

19.01.2022 EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF PSORIASIS As the majority of psoriasis suffers know, this is a genetically predisposed condition that has no cure. It can, however, go into remission. And there are treatment strategies that can put this condition back into remission!... Naturopath, Peter Wilson, has been treating Psoriasis for over 10 years with an extremely high success rate and points out below, the general principles behind his success. Initially, there is usually a major event or a series of events which triggers the onset of the condition. This could include such things as an unexpected stressful event, the accumulation of long term stress, over work, poor diet, specific foods that seem healthy but can cause a flare up, different environment or even just poor sleep patterns over a period of time among many other variables. Then there are other factors that ‘fuel’ the condition such as certain foods which may seem healthy but have been shown to contribute to the problem. Other contributing factors are poor sleep quality, intestinal dysbiosis, and mineral deficiencies. This is the point at which treatment can work to take the condition back into remission. Effective Treatment strategies used at our clinic include the following factors - Identification of certain types of foods that have been found to aggravate psoriasis and eczema. The treatment of Leaky Gut Syndrome is paramount to the treatment so GUT REPAIR is a major contributor to success. Adding Specific gut bacteria is part of the 'body balance' which includes PRE- BIOTICS as well as PRO-BIOTICS. Nervous System treatment with herbal medicines, other supplements and in some cases tactile therapies such as craniosacral therapy. Craniosacral therapy brings the whole body healing system into balance and has been shown that it can tone the vagus nerve which makes a significant impact on the body’s ability to cope with the stresses of life. Stress being a major player with the onset and prolongation of psoriasis and eczema. Topical application of ointments made in our clinic which contain anti-inflammatory essential oils in beneficial carrier oils starts the healing process from the outside. Peter can be contacted on (02) 6622 0408 should you wish to find out more.

19.01.2022 I was prompted to share this chart (which naturopaths are quite familiar with) when I had a client last week who despite an exceptionally healthy organic diet had watery bowel motions every day for years. She thought this was because she drank a lot of water and was no problem. In fact she had numerous parasites. I realised that not everyone knows what a healthy bowel motion looks like. It surprises me how often people can't answer when asked about bowels because they pay no attention, it is one of the most important indicators of health. You should move your bowels at least once a day. The motion should be formed, pass efficiently, easily, with very little effort and with a feeling of complete evacuation. There should be minimal clean up required and the odor should not cause everyone in the house to run outside.

14.01.2022 Have you ever wondered what all the letters and numbers mean on your blood report? Join our newsletter series on Understanding Blood Reports to find out more. We originally started this series after two clients in particular came in with serious problems in their bloods which were not commented on by their GP's. We thought if they had some idea of how to look at the tests themselves they would have known that things weren't right and could have asked their doctors more questi...ons. Naturopaths look at blood reports differently from doctors as we have a different way of looking at health and disease. We look at function (or lack of function) rather than presence of disease. Basically, it’s about detecting problems BEFORE disease develops. Therefore, often a result that we identify as a problem will still be within the reference range. It is important to understand what reference ranges are. They are not some concrete measure of a healthy person, it is the average of the general population. That is, if you tested everyone, most people will fall within that range, it does not mean they are optimally healthy. Different countries have different reference ranges. Also, reference ranges changes as more information becomes available. People frequently come to the clinic with their blood reports having been told that there is nothing wrong yet they feel very unwell. Blindly following the reference range is not useful, digging a little deeper into the meaning of the numbers reveals a lot of useful information. It is also important to realise that blood testing is not a magical process that reveals all disease and dysfunction. Each marker is specifically tested, if something is not tested for it is not found. Often the first blood test points to further testing that is required, it is detective work, the answer does not always reveal itself with the first question. This is one of the reasons for this newsletter series. It is good for people to know when further testing should be done and ask the right questions.

09.01.2022 Natural Medicine vs Naturopathy I dislike the term natural medicine, I don’t feel it encompasses the breadth of what a naturopath does. It also sounds too gentle for what is a powerful system of medicine. Natural medicine in its purest form is simply fresh food, clean water, sunlight, fresh air, exercise and relaxation; it almost negates the need for ingested medicines. Of course, all of these will be recommended by a naturopath (and probably your doctor). Naturopathy ho...Continue reading
