This clinic is very different to any other practice and therefore this is to provide some preliminary information. The detailed information is obtained during visits to the clinic from the Clinic Handbooks and loose leaflets, etc.

Most patients who attend this clinic are those who are chronically ill and who have been usually to many sources for help and arrive very disillusioned at this clinic as their last resort. These patients include chronic allergies, like asthma, eczema, headaches, migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, women's hormonal problems related to their periods, and other women's complaints like fibroids, endometriosis, PMT, mastitis, menopausal symptoms, management of menopause, anxiety disorders, depression, ADD, hyperactivity, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, complex presentations of disease, chronic pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, auto-immune disease (rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, hashimoto’s disease, colitis, etc.), men and women’s fertility problems and a whole range of diseases as well.

Conventional medicine is known for being excellent in treating symptoms (headache pills, asthma inhalers, cortisone creams for eczema, etc.) and the patient often does not get over the problem. I am not aware of any conventional treatment that cures any chronic illness.

This clinic is involved with the complete picture of the patient and works out the complex weblike interconnectedness that is involved in creating the diseased state thus enabling corrective action to be taken.

The first visit is very detailed, fact finding with the patient filling up many forms and the individual then goes through a detailed examination and provisional diagnosis, leading to the beginning of what appears to be the weblike interconnections involved in the patient's diseased state thus dealing with the cause and then taking the person on a healing journey towards health and wellness. The second visit is also a prolonged consultation that involves testing at the bio-energetic level that gives far more comprehensive information of the functional state of the patient and therefore to enable the commencement of corrective techniques which involves bio-energetic manipulation, nutritional modification, the use of important, necessary supplements, homoeopathics and the corrective modalities that are highlighted in the Clinic Handbook.

Wholistic medicine involves treating the whole person. Many areas that lead to the patient getting ill are looked at, including lifestyle, diet, exercise, stress, biomechanical factors, bad habits, emotional problems, social problems, relationship problems, depression, psychological factors, etc. Areas to be addressed are the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social wellbeing of the individual.

Conventional and complementary therapies, which include treatment of the cause and a diverse range of listed modalities listed in this brochure are employed.

Bioenergetic medicine is a form of assessment and treatment. Energy medicine uses assessment screening devices like the Mora, which is employed to assess your health status and then to correct imbalances and energy dysfunction that will be responsible for causing the illness. Basically, that means looking at the fundamental aspects of who we are. Quantum physics proves beyond doubt that we are actually energy and diagnosing a condition at the energy level would be very basic and therefore correction at the energy level results in an excellent cure rate. Other energy based modalities are acupuncture, magnetic field treatment, homoeopathy, etc.

None of the above services are taught in Australian universities, although, in recent times, acupuncture has been an optional extra for interested students. All the therapies used at the Centre have been proven by their use over long periods of time and by medical research at conventional universities, by scientific research at leading institutions and research published in scientific journals overseas now confirm the efficacy of many of these modalities.

The principles involved at this clinic are highly scientific and have been the result of many years of study, experience, attending clinical meetings, conferences and obtaining the speciality qualifications in this area.

The Clinic Handbook, which is obtained at the first visit, introduces the patient into this area in great depth describing the path they will be taking. We look at the causes of illness, the systems of assessment used at the clinic, we describe the bio-energetic examination, the healing journey and the treatment and management plan. This is described in greater depth under MORA therapy and information and instructions are provided on homoeopathy, indumed magnetic field treatments, acupuncture and exercise therapy. Sections are included on progress, problems with healing and progress, foundations of health, health and wellness, methods of treatment for simple infections and looking after one's health in a preventative fashion. There are chapters on internal microflora, candidiasis and bowel toxaemia, the colon connection, its relation to health and disease, the importance of our guts and our health, allergy and food allergy, chronic fatigue syndrome and energy failure, dentistry and your health and its relation to mercury amalgams, women's hormonal problems, the menopausal syndrome, anxiety disorder, depression, weight problems and obesity, inflammation and inflammatory disorders, cholesterol the real facts, the dangers of HRT, the contraceptive pill and silicone implants.

There is a separate book on Cancer and the Healthy Eating Program.

There are new chapters on the dangers of HRT and the methods of treatment and correction of the hormonal dysfunctional state in women, the health revolution, health maintenance and our exciting vitality, longevity and anti-ageing program.

The patient undergoes an intensive program for approximately three months. Initially the visits are weekly for the first eight weeks and then they are extended to 10 days to fortnightly to monthly and whatever is required to help improve the patient's health, wellness and recovery. It may take from some months to one or two years to recover from an illness that the patient has had all his/her life. It takes many years for a condition to develop and as such there aren't any magic bullets or quick fixes and total cooperation of the patient is vital. One has to take responsibility for one's health.

It is through this intensive program and the total cooperation of the patient that excellent results are achieved.

Acute illnesses and acute problems are also treated at the clinic. Almost every condition will respond favourably to complementary therapies and excellent results are obtained in cases such as: tonsillitis; ear infections; flu; bronchitis; chest infections; sinusitis; back and spinal problems; acute injuries including sprains and a whole host of other common conditions.
