The Importance of Detoxing the mind.

 Most of us are aware of the importance of detoxifying the body, getting rid of all the toxins in the system which make us feel sluggish, effect the immune system, usually after Christmas or periods of over indulgence or even after an infection (which could have originally been caused by excessive toxins in the body).

Today there are various ways of having a physical detox. For instance some eastern cultures recommend fasting for one day a week (recommended with medical supervision) then there is yoga, massage and even colonic irrigation.
We know that there is a connection between toxins in the body and poor health! But what about the connection between the mind and the body?
Hippocrates was a Greek physician born in 460BC on the island of Cos, Greece and was known as the founder of medicine. He was the first physician to hold the belief that thoughts, ideas, and feelings come from the brain and not the heart as others of his time thought.
“All feelings and emotions start in the brain, and these feelings and emotions are the source of any disease in the body”.

And then the ancient Egyptians knew that:-

“Mind and body in unison can heal itself”.

Food for behaviour and brain function

Patterns of behaviour and brain function are largely influenced by diet.
There is increasing evidence to suggest t hat poor diet can lead to poor behaviour and learning disabilities amongst children.
The most common problems arising today include:

•    ADHD
•    Hyperactivity
•    Autism
•    Dyslexia

Not only do these have a negative impact on the individual’s personal development, they also cause a disturbance in family life, the classroom and society at large.

ADHD/HYPERACTIVITY

Characterised by 3 major problems:

•    Lack of attention
•    Hyperactivity
•    Act on impulse

It is estimated that five percent of school aged children in England and Wales have ADHD. This is the equivalent of three hundred and sixty seven thousand.
This means that in an average class of thirty children, one or two will present with ADHD.
The incidence amongst boys is greater than girls.

Male infertility

 Male infertility is a growing problem. There are many enviromental pressures that are lowering the general fertility of the male population. If a couple are struggling to conceive there can be a wide range of problems responsible but it is quite common that a low sperm count is a contributing factor.

When a sperm count is done both the motility and morphology of the sperm is taken into account but a figure of twenty million healthy sperm plus is considered a fertile sample. However, very often it can be in the low teens which doesn't make conception impossible but difficult.

There are a number of things that can be done including diet, lifestyle and supplements that will be advised.

There are also a number of herbs that have a proven result of raising sperm counts by two to six times over a period of three months which can obviously change the odds dramatically.

A consultation will address all these factors in full confidentiallity.

Raise your game with Cenacle

Performance coaching is a part of every top athlete's training. In any sport you must train so that your body is capable of the demands made upon it and you must hone your skills so that your trained body can produce the performance expected of it.

However, have you trained your mind so that you are mentally on top form and able to perform as you would wish?

Douglas Craddock cannot help you with the training of your body or your skills, but if you have trained them he can help you train your mind so that you can produce those top performances you know you can achieve, and so that you can achieve them every time.

Dealing with Insomnia

Insomnia is a surprisingly common occurrence, with some estimating thirty percent of the population suffering some difficulties.

Sleep is essential to both body and mind and impaired sleep, altered sleep patterns and other disturbances can impair the physical health and mental well-being of the person.

Sleeping pills can be effective in the short term but are not designed for long term use as they are addictive, have numerous side effects and can cause unnatural sleep patterns. As a result people enter a vicious cycle of taking a pill to get to sleep, awakening groggy and using caffeine to get going making the insomnia worse.

The herbal approach to Gout

Gout is a member of the arthritic family of conditions. It occurs when the body is not expelling sufficient toxins and so uric acid is deposited in the joints and crystallises. It is these crystals in the joints that creates the pain and inflammation.

Because the acid and crystals are heavy they tend to be deposited in the lower extremities first. Hence the big toe and ankles suffer initially.

Although it was historically linked to rich living, there can be many factors that lead to the poor elimination.

The task of the herbalist is to identify through a full consultation the reason that the toxins are being retained and then giving advice and prescribing herbs that are very successful at cleaning the bodies systems, leading to long term and not just symptomatic relief.

Has the credit crunch affected your relationship?

It just cannot be avoided all the doom and gloom around us at the moment, all the talk of recession, credit crunch, and falling house prices, and fuel prices on the increase, we have to consider the emotional cost this has on us as a society.  Debt can cause havoc in our lives, and we juggle things from one pot to another, but ultimately its our emotional well-being that can suffer in my opinion. The symptoms can be anxiety, stress, and depression.  Alongside the debt, counselling that is available for people in serious debt, there is Counselling to talk about the issues of anxiety, and stress, and the daily implications of this.

The other big issue at the moment is thousands of people have lost their jobs, and are continuing to do so on a daily basis, and again the impact of this on their self esteem, and confidence will leave them in tatters. Alongside this their relationships usually suffer also, as the breadwinner is no longer earning and
this can lead to arguments, and resentment, and ultimately end their relationship. 

What wll health Kinesiology do for me?

 IBS, depression, food allergies, eczema and low self-esteem are just a few of the complaints that have seen massive improvement through Health Kinesiology. How can it be effective in such a wide range of disorders?

The answer is that it does so by ‘talking to the body'. By monitoring the body's response to any potential stressor - whether a thought, a food substance or an electro-magnetic field - the therapist can find out where the problem areas are and identify what is needed to put them right.

What does treatment involve?

Common forms of treatment include the use of magnets, essential oils, flower essences, or a particular thought or memory. Most clients find the session a relaxing and enjoyable experience, although they may be a little mystified as to how such unusual treatments can leave them feeling so much better!

Start of the year, don't catch a cold

The start of the year can mean the beginning of something positive within work, hobbies or a start of a new friendship.

But this new beginning shouldn't mean the start of flu symptoms that could cripple positivity and end the change you were creating.

I suggest Echinacea, which can effectively boost your immune system at the first sighns or threat of infections such as colds.
