Children’s Naturopathy

Know anybody who hates Bright lights? Loud Noises? Cold weather?

Do you know anybody who will shy away from bright lights or loud noises? Do you have a child who, when you start to ask them a question, you can get their attention initially.. but if you take too long they appear to wander or even worse, simply shut down and ignore you? Usually, these people are not too good with heat or extreme cold either… and may have already been labeled as anxious, ADHD, a ‘daydreamer’, or even plain rude and arrogant. If this reminds you of somebody you know… …

Oral contraceptives to curb teenage acne- bad idea.

Hi everyone.. Today I wanted to write about something I am seeing more and more frequently in the clinic- The long term outcome of young girls and women being put onto the Oral Contraceptive Pill in a push to try and reduce their teenage acne outbreak. I use this as an example, because this is the one I see most frequently. However young teenage girls can be put onto the Pill for a myriad of reasons aside from contraception- mood stabilising, heavy or painful periods, or even irregular periods. Quite often these …

Ok.. now that I have put the fear of god into you about our environment (sorry, but this stuff is very real!), I want to swing your attention now to the standard protocol here in Australia for medicating babies. In my last article I talked about the liver pathways, and how they are put under pressure by a variety of different environmental chemicals and substances. Specifically, I’d like to look at the most commonly prescribed paediatric medications in Australia, their effects on the liver, and potential complications. Paracetamol; Ibuprofen (Nurofen); …

Today I’d like to talk about the liver, and the absolutely crucial role it plays in the detoxification ofanything that comes near your body, including vaccines.In part one of my articles,Toxins in vs Toxins out, I referred to the ‘total load’ that is placed on the bodyby chemicals and heavy metals which come from multiple sources. It is important to understand, again,that when the body (particularly the liver) cannot keep up with detox demand, we are left with anoverload situation. This is when the body starts to show the signs …

Vaccination. This word is probably the single most emotive word in this country today. It literally has the ability to divide a room, a social media thread, or even a family or friendship. Everyone has an opinion about it, and from my experience there are more than two sides to this argument- nobody is wrong. Statistically, vaccination has done some great things on a global scale! But, stats aside, the argument for ‘vaccine injury’ is very real. I have seen it with my own eyes. With the government legislations changing this …

Vaccination support

The debate surrounding vaccination is an emotional one at the best of times. There are more than two sides to this heated discussion, and nobody’s opinions or personal experiences can ever be written off as wrong. The majority of my naturopathic work revolves around babies and children, and on a daily basis I am asked my opinions on Immunisation. Instead of offering opinions, I’d like to put forward some unbiased advice on ‘how to vaccinate as safely as possible’. Of course, this is not a failsafe plan, but if I …

Glyphosate- the silent antibiotic

The Shikimate pathway is an enzymatic process used by bacteria, fungi, algae and plants, in order to make Folate. It is also responsible for the creation of three vital amino acids (tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine), all of which CANNOT be made by animals, including humans. Glyphosate was deliberately made to BLOCK the Shikimate pathway, and by doing so, it will also block bacteria’s ability to create these nutrients, which then creates the knock-on effect of depriving certain plants (or weeds) of the things they required for growth and reproduction. Hence …

Keeping kids focussed

Day one of homeschooling started yesterday.. hands up how many of us feel like they failed bismally!? Go easy on yourself during this VERY dynamic time.. nobody is asking you to be a SuperHuman! This is a huge change for all of us, including those kids, and the one thing i want to stress is that the stronger your routine, the faster everyone will adapt! I know, sounds so simple. The reality is you, can only do what you can. As a parent or carer you are probably not trained with …
