Hello Friends,

Many, many aplogies for the delay in getting this newsletter out but Life has been such a whirlwind over the past 6 weeks. 

 In August we went on a huge road trip which was truly amazing.  We ventured out through Toowoomba, out to Coonabarrabra and the Warrabungles which is a very spritual place where we were told to sit and meditate on a rock.  Nice thought had it not been pouring down with rain!  Then we travelled down through Orange and stayed the night in Bathurst.  The country side out there is just amazing and the rolling green hills (probably not always green) and wildlife really opens your eyes to what a beautiful contry we live in.  The next day I got to drive around Mt. Panarama where the V8's had been screaming around only days before.  Wow that track is steep!!  Not so good with about 150kg of stock in the back of 'Pierre' the Peugeot!  The rest of the day was spent exploring the country down through the Jenolan Caves and then we rested in The Blue Mountains for a couple of days.

We were shown great hospitality by some new friends who live there. Our hosts were delightful showing us around and sharing the local history before we headed to Sydney for the International Aromatherapy and Aromatic Medicine Association Annual Conference.  On Sunday afternoon we headed home along the coast spending a night at Port Macquarie before arriving back on the Gold Goast.

I then ventured back to the mines for a week to arrive home to spend a couple of weeks with David's mum.  I always love her visits because she is honestly the best house guest you could ask for.  Her cooking is amazing and I just love having her around to sit, chat and have a cuppa with.

Then I headed off to Townsville to visit my family for a week and attend my little sister's formal.  I am very proud of Jess and despite the 16 year age difference we have remained very close.  To see my little sister graduate from high school and enter society certainly brought a tear or two to my eyes.  More so when my grandmother (who has not been well lately) got to see her granddaughter all dressed up at her formal was very overwhelming and a very emotional moment.

So we are back home now, busily preparing for Christmas. 

I would like to mention, only because it is a topic that has been constantly brought to our attention in clinic lately. 

Brisbane's water grid will soon be  delivering recycled effluent/sewerage as well as hospital waste, mortuary  waste and industrial waste to householders to be used for domestic purposes  (drinking, cooking, bathing).  This is a first-in-the-world living  experiment using a large amount of recycled water (Singapore  adds only about 1% of recycled water to its water supply).

 

If you are a Queensland resident - you are eligible to sign the E-Petition to "Prohibit the use of recycled  sewerage effluent for drinking purposes". 

 

This E-Petition can be accessed via the following link:

So thank you all for taking the time to share in our adventures, we look forward to a busy few weeks ahead and welcoming in another safe, fun and happy new year.

 

Wishing you health and happiness!

Duane

Essential Oils as a Complimentary Treatment for Wounds and Discomfort Caused by Serious Illness
 
A 3 Hour Workshop by John Kerr on the Gold Coast
 
Recently, David and I attended the Annual International Aromatherapy & Aromatic Medicine Association Conference in Sydney.  During the conference we were having a discussion with the founder of Springfield’s Aromatherapy, John Kerr, about the clinical trials he conducted at the Westmead Hospital in Sydney.  These trials were very interesting and involved the use of Essential Oils to treat wounds and discomfort caused by serious illness.
 
As this is a 3 hour intensive workshop, John has asked that the numbers be limited to 30 people so that he can have quality time to answer questions and give those in attendance the desired attention required for this interesting topic. 
 
Cost $37.00
Date 7 December 2008
Location Lake Orr Meeting Room - Christine Ave, Varsity Lakes, Gold Coast
 
RSVP by Monday 1st December 2008 - Limited seats available

 

If you are interested in attending this workshop, you can call us directly on 07 5578 7437
 
 
The Digestive System

 

 

Is your digestive system not feeling quite right?
 
Do you only pay attention to your digestive system when there is a problem? Maybe after you have eaten a large meal and feel bloated? Or perhaps you pay attention to your digestive system only when you have had changes in bowel movements, like diarrhoea or constipation? If this is the case, some digestive support in the form of a probiotic could be useful! Probiotics are “good bacteria” that help keep your digestive system in good condition. Digestive problems are often a sign that the bacteria in your digestive system are out of balance, and since your digestive system is the centre of health, it is extremely important that you keep it healthy!
 
Did you know?
 

Did you know that you have over 400 species of good bacteria inside your digestive system and they weigh up to 3kg? In fact, you have more bacteria living inside you than you have cells in your entire body! There are approximately 100 trillion bacteria in your digestive system, the vast majority of which live in your   bowel. The balance of all these bacteria is essential for your health and wellbeing.

Good bacteria can protect you!
 
Your digestive system is in constant contact with the outside environment through the food that you eat. In your lifetime, you will eat approximately 22 tonnes of food. This food and the fluids you consume could be carrying potential pathogens that could make you sick. Good bacteria can protect you from getting sick from these potential pathogens.
 
Balance is essential for health…
 

It is essential for health and wellbeing that the bacteria, or flora, in your digestive system is kept in a healthy balance. An imbalance of flora within the digestive system can lead to many common symptoms including:

• Poor digestive function

• Diarrhoea

• Constipation

• Irritable bowel syndrome

• Bloating

• An increase in allergies and eczema

• Chronic disease
 
How do good bacteria keep you healthy?
 
Good bacteria aid in:
 

• Breaking down food and producing nutrients.

• Absorption of nutrients.

• Maintaining the motility of the digestive tract,

ensuring good bowel motions.

• Inhibiting the growth of bad bacteria.

• Maintaining a healthy immune system.
 
Not all probiotics are created equal…
 
As you can see, maintaining good bowel flora is an important key in maintaining health and wellbeing. Good bowel flora can be achieved by taking probiotics. However, not all probiotics are the same and it is important to use the right probiotic for you.
 
Energy Massage and Beauty stock the Inner Health Plus range of Probiotics, Fusion Health Products as well as the Endura Sports Nutrition Range for your convenience.
