The Holistic approach to health

For many years, the conventional approach to good health has focussed on the reduction or elimination of symptoms. Where possible, cause for symptoms will be found, and also treated. But chronic symptoms will be found and also treated. But chronic chronic symptoms, for which no cause comes to light, may linger for years, and bring about serious debilitation over time.

Why learn Autogenic Therapy with a therapist?

Some people say why do I have to learn autogenic therapy with a therapist, when I have seen it in books and articles in teach yourself form? AT is always put forward as a simple technique, and when taught and coached by a registered therapist it is. The problem with the written word is that is all you have, there is no guide or personal support - no one to help you with queries, or to give you reassurance or back-up when you are in doubt. You need a knowledgeable therapist who will monitor your practice and give you feedback on your progress. Although the technique itself is very easy, the response to training are endlessly varied and unique to you. 

What is Autogenic Therapy

If you imagine sitting in a chair or lying on a bed in a comfortable, symmetrical manner with your eyes closed, you will already have a picture of what someone practising an AT exercise looks like. The exercises are easily-learned silent formulae related to the body in a relaxed state. They begin with phrases suggesting heaviness and warmth in the limbs (standard exercises 1&2), followed by passive focussing on the heartbeat, breathing, abdominal warmth and cool forehead.  

Homeopathy Success in Piglets and E Coli

The following was sent to me by organic farmer, homeopathic activist and all round good guy - Oliver Dowding.  I was fascinated by this piece of research and I hope you enjoy it too:

 Here's a quick outline of what happened:
The study in question was a double blind RCT of 52 sows who were randomly treated with Coli 30K or placebo and who subsequently gave birth to 525 piglets.

The study showed that there was a reduction in the incidence of E.Coli diarrhoea.  (Results showed that the placebo group had over six times more diarrhoea than the homeopathically treated group (P < 0.0001).  
he researchers pointed out that although mean duration of diarrhoea was not significantly different for both groups, 1.86 days on average in the placebo group compared to 1.3 days in the Coli 30K group, the difference of half a day can make large differences in the overall performance of piglets.

Antidepressant drugs cause premature births

A recent study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology revealed that pregnant women who take selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during their second or third trimesters are five times more likely to have a premature delivery than those not taking them. Such antidepressant drugs include sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), and fluoxetine (Prozac).

Can I change my negative outlook?

A negative outlook on life often leads to a negative experience and subsequent negative emotions which can prevent you from putting the experience behind you and getting on with the rest of your life. Although you can’t control what happens in your life, you can control how you react to it and how it makes you feel. By learning how to deal with change effectively, this will help you to become happier, more successful and support you in achieving your goals. 

Being happy and staying possitive may help ward off heart disease

Being happy and staying positive may help ward off heart disease, a study suggests. US researchers monitored the health of 1,700 people over 10 years, finding the most anxious and depressed were at the highest risk of the disease.They could not categorically prove happiness was protective, but said people should try to enjoy themselves. But experts suggested the findings may be of limited use as an individual's approach to life was often ingrained. At the start of the study, which was published in the European Heart Journal, participants were assessed for emotions ranging from hostility and anxiousness to joy, enthusiasm and contentment.

Tapping therapy (EFT): curing physical and mental problems

A tapping therapy called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), known for riding physical and emotional problems by tapping on meridian points is finally getting some recognition. Journalist Beverley Turner from the Daily Telegraph decided to enrol on course of EFT and has acknowledged its attributes.

The Society’s response to the report of the House of Commons Science & Technology Committee Evidence Check: Homeopathy

The Society of Homeopaths, the UK’s largest regulator of homeopaths, roundly rejects the findings of the House of Commons Science & Technology Committee Evidence Check: Homeopathy and has grave concerns about the processes that led to its report issued today.

Central to these concerns was a clarification issued at the outset of the oral evidence check by the Chair of the Committee itself, Phil Willis MP, who stated :
