Help is at Hand

Jennifer and Ron can provide help through their work at the Bribie Natural Health clinic where their patient care encompasses pain therapy, massage, facial toning using FS microcurrent, Bioptron Light therapy for acne, eczema and psoriasis and a range of complementary therapies within the naturopathic consultations.

The highly equipped multidisciplinary clinic caters for a vast range of conditions including obesity and eating disorders. As an experienced naturopath and nurse, Jennifer provides empathy and moral support, focusing on the emotional as well as the physical aspect of disease. Weight loss is only successful when combined with counseling, as eating disorders are an emotional issue which is the main reason why so many weight loss programs don't provide lasting results.

Jennifer includes a thorough health appraisal including blood pressure, blood glucose levels and VLA cellular analysis that accurately assesses the body percentages of fat, fluid, and lean muscle. Following this appraisal she is then able to assess the appropriate nutritional requirements.

She also provides anti-inflammatory and insect repellent creams; cream applications for use in hormone balancing such as PMS and menopause; and medicinal shampoo treatments for various scalp disorders including head lice.

Jennifer has had some excellent results with natural fertility, and although she intends to maintain a low profile within the industry, many of her clients who have failed to conceive through IVF have given birth to healthy babies following her treatment regime, resulting in a larger than intended demand for her therapy.

Food Intolerances

Many clients have presented with common food intolerances. Jennifer believes a large percentage of such problems stems from a weakness in the digestion. Sourcing the problem foods is not an expensive procedure. Jennifer has had much success in not only identifying the problem foods, but more importantly in restoring a healthy digestive system and ultimately overcoming these food intolerances.

Where an actual food allergy is evident which produces more dramatic symptoms, it is important to avoid the offending food. However, in some instances such as with eczema and mild asthma, she has successfully desensitised clients to the offending foods using electro narcotherapy, a low frequency electo-magnetic micro current, which has a broad range of treatment in her clinic, particularly with pain and neuralgia.

Ear candling is another service provided at the clinic using high quality candles that produce excellent results for congested ears and sinuses. Jennifer always inspects the ear with an otoscope prior to the treatment to ensure it is safe to perform the procedure.

Digestive Complaints

People present on a daily basis with digestive complaints and symptoms which range from nausea, reflux, indigestion pain, flatulence, and erratic bowel habits referred to as IBS. Indigestion pain is often confused with symptoms of cardiac illness due to the central chest location. Patients often arrive at emergency departments with central chest pain to find the pain is resolved with antacids rather than anginine. This is a good method of eliminating the possibility of cardiac related illness and determining the real problem.

Although the aetiology of GI ulcers has been recognized as bacterial-related for more than a decade, Jennifer is surprised that medical science insists on treating only the infection while dismissing any link to stress related causes. She said in the past, gastric ulcers were always considered to be a stress related illness, but they were now explained away as solely bacteria related. During her nursing training in the sixties, Jennifer saw hundreds of post war migrants undergo gastrectomies due to ulceration. They were people who had survived war-torn Europe and undergone major stress as penniless immigrants without language or skills to start a new life.

Jennifer says stress causes major disturbances to the digestive system due to the gut brain connection. Anxiety eliminates appetite as our mouth, throat and stomach secretions dry up resulting in altered gut pH, which explains why constant stress results in dry, cracked lips and mouth ulcers. Gastric secretions contain natural antibiotics to maintain a healthy environment in the gut. Helicobacter pylori or HBP first develops in the mouth, thus opportunistic bugs proliferate further along the gut walls in an unhealthy environment, resulting in an inflammatory and ulcerated lining. Jennifer considers all stress factors when treating a variety of complaints and nearly always has to treat the gut.
