The
Clinic's philosophy is that therapists working together
should not merely be hired on the basis of their education
and experience. The belief is that their personal energy,
how they relate to people, and how they feel about the
healing process is of great importance. The Clinic feels
that the primary role of a therapist is to be a facilitator
of healing; ultimately people heal themselves.
If
you aren't sure which therapy would be best for you,
call or visit the Clinic for information. Try a technique
with which you feel comfortable. Finding the best therapy
for you may be a matter of trial and error, but it will
be well worth the effort. All therapies work towards
the same goal - maximizing your physical and mental
potential and gaining a greater sense of focus and well-being.

Considerations
Take
a look at our outside environment
Soil
demineralization:
In the last decade or two the mineral content in the
soil has been greatly depleted. Farmers no longer allow
the soil time to replenish its minerals. This leads
to diminished nutrients in our food, so that even with
a seemingly healthy diet it is impossible to be sure
that you are receiving the desired and expected nutrients
from your food. Also the manipulation of our food at
the genetic level, has produced foods that are bigger
and tougher for travel, but have been depleted in nutrients.
Pollution:
Air pollution, pesticides and industrial pollution contaminating
the water all end up on your dinner table with your
food.
Higher
stress:
Excessive stress can lead to digestive tract disorders
and malabsorption of our food. If you cannot digest
what you eat, you are not actually getting any of the
nutritional benefit from your food. There are supplements
which can help repair the digestive system.
Chemicals,
additives, colouring and preservatives:
These can be largely eliminated from your diet by eating
organically.
Look
at our inner environment
An
overall increase in degenerative diseases
- Heart
- Cancer
- Arthritis
- Alzheimer's
- HIV/AIDS
- Chronic
fatigue syndrome
And
many others. Some common complaints:
- Low
energy
- Overweight
- Indigestion
- Headaches
- Allergies
- Depression
- Mood
swings
- Lack
of mental clarity
- Colds/Flu
- Eating
disorders
We
need over 100 nutrients on a daily basis:
- 12
Essential Amino Acids
- 16
Vitamins
- 70+
Minerals, three minerals and rare earth's Essential
Fatty acids
- and
a good supply of friendly flora
Stress
relief is an essential part of overall
fitness and wellness. And there can be no doubt
that "solice comes through repose". However, in a hectic
fast paced lifestyle we sometimes need a more dynamic
means or a variety of means to reduce
and eliminate our high
levels of stress.
"…it's
great I have increased energy, I am in a better mood,
and I can handle my work load much more easily…"
