How We Can Support You in this Time

Maintaining a strong immune system is important to our overall health

The immune system is our body’s defense against infection and illness, so to stay in good physical and mental condition we must assist it in any way we can. It has been proven to be useful for those trying to either avoid getting sick, or those trying to hasten their recovery.

The causes and effects of a weakened immune system

A compromised or dysfunctional immune system is a major component of most chronic diseases. Poor nutrition, stress and exposure to harmful agents all lead to a declining immune system. Once compromised, a weak immune system results in frequent colds, allergies, and reoccurring infections.

Immunity related disorders include:

  • Common colds
  • Coronavirus
  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Hepatitis
  • AIDS
  • Autoimmune disease
  • Cancer
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Psoriasis
  • Immune deficiency syndrome

Acupuncture can help regulate immune function and treat the underlying cause of diseases by reducing symptoms, speeding up healing and stabilizing our body’s responses to illness. Acupuncture is believed to enhance resistance to disease and illness by assisting in defense, homeostasis and surveillance functions of the immune system. This is why acupuncture is considered to be true preventative medicine, as the needle points as chosen to strengthen wei qi (bodies immunity) so as to reduce the chance of succumbing to a virus or bacteria. We tend to get sick more easily when our protective surface energy, i.e., wei qi, is compromised such as when we are stressed or tired.

In traditional Eastern medicine, Vitamin C has a place as an element of spleen qi. The connection between the Spleen and the Lung is also highlighted by vitamin C, as Vitamin C’s role in immune function and its role in wound healing both point towards the Lung. Due to its sour nature as an acid, Vitamin C likely helps to gather and contain wei qi.

One of the best ways to boost our immunity is through Vitamin C consumption. Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient for humans, and it contributes to immune defense by supporting various cellular functions. Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, cannot be produced by the body naturally so we need to acquire it from foods and supplements in our diet. This doesn’t normally present as a problem, as Vitamin C is present in most plant foods, as well as in various glands and organs of animals.

Pure Vitamin C has been shown to stimulate the production and function of white blood cells, helps to produce antibodies, acts as a powerful antioxidant and cofactor of various enzymes. As well as this, Vitamin C helps your body to produce collagen which assists in repair, growth and healing. It is also used by our adrenal glands when stress is triggered. Vitamin C is also considered necessary for the synthesis of numerous compounds, such as neurotransmitters, collagen, hormones and steroids. It helps to increase the absorption of iron from the gastrointestinal tract by reducing iron ions, thus helping to prevent anemia.

At Release Health and Wellness Clinic, we are able to provide you with:

  • Acupuncture can regulate immune function and treat the underlying cause of the disease by reducing symptoms, speeding up the healing of infection and normalizing the body’s immune response.
  • We will stimulate specific portions of the autonomic nervous system through selected acupuncture points to help the immune system.
  • Acupuncture can cause a rise in levels of interferon, of the immune system’s messenger hormones.
  • Regular acupuncture therapy can be effective in treating asthma, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, colds and infections.

What is Cellular Memory

Cellular memory is the quite incredible idea that our entire existence is recorded in our cells, every single one of them

Physics is discovering that matter isn’t as solid as we once thought.

Instead, it is becoming apparent that everything in the universe is energy.  This energy is primarily composed of light and sound, and atoms are made of energetic fields rather than substance.  On a cellular level, the body has many, many different types of cells responsible for different tasks.  Some transport oxygen while others dispose of waste.  Some cells become neurons and others form the kidneys.  Modern science is discovering that, at the end of the day, all cells are basically the same.  Their functions vary depending on their roles, but if we were to turn these signals off, the cells would be identical and have the potential to become anything.   On a grander scale, it means that we can become anything with the right motivation and creativity.  So we are functioning on two levels: the potential to be anything, and what our cells are currently being told to do.  Cellular memory is the quite incredible idea that our entire existence is recorded in our cells, every single one of them.  The blueprint of who we are, who we have been in past lives, our thoughts, feeling, preferences, and all of the details that could possibly exist, are already in our bodies.  Cellular memory explains why our bodies, mind, and emotions operate and respond in specific ways.   It says that our cells contain patterns of how we expect our body to function, how we are used to feeling, and the way we are habituated to thinking.  The only reason we are the way we are is because we are operating out of memory.

The past determines our cellular memory.

There have been incredible happenings supporting this theory.

It has been noticed that many organ recipients take on the characteristics of their donors.  One woman, who previously had enjoyed fun, trashy novels, suddenly developed a taste for literature.  Seemingly out of nowhere, she gravitated towards writers like Dostoyevsky.  This was the sort of author whom her donor loved.  Another recipient, who previously had a healthy diet and exercise routine, found herself having intense cravings for fast food.  She also became much more aggressive after receiving an organ from a young man, and even began to dress in different colors than the ones she usually liked.  Changes like these occur more often when a heart transplant is involved.  Traditional Chinese Medicine has long identified the heart as the “ruler” of the organs.

 

The heart is the starting point.

Cellular memory is new to modern medicine, but is by no means an original concept.

Ancient civilizations identified multiple bodies encasing the soul.  Our physical or gross body is the one we are most familiar with, and our subtle body is home to our thoughts and emotions.  The body that most closely encloses the soul is called the causal body.  This body is where our memories and experiences from our current and past lives are recorded.  The causal and subtle bodies travel with the soul from one incarnation in a physical body to the next, while we discard the physical body at death and get a new one at each birth.  The memories and experiences in the causal body are like a blueprint for the subtle and physical ones.  They form around old information and experiences.  Basically, how we think and feel is in reaction to past conditioning.  Personality traits present in us today are usually rooted in events we don’t even remember.  If we are storing memories of famine that happened centuries ago, we may develop a tendency to overeat or hoard food.  If we were Thai in a past life, we could naturally gravitate towards that culture, even if we have no connections with it currently.  This template also impacts the physical body.  Maybe a person who once suffered great physical trauma in war has problems with their immunity or adrenal glands in this one.  There have also been fascinating accounts of people who have memories of who they were in previous incarnations and remember how they died.  If their former death was traumatic, the person living today frequently has a birthmark in the exact place where they sustained a fatal wound in a past life.  Some people have been able to validate this synchronicity through written records.

 

What memories and experiences are creating emotional toxicity in your cells?

What memories and experiences are creating emotional toxicity in your cells?

So if there is validity to cellular memory, the next question is why does it matter?

It matters because it means your old, ingrained patterns are creating your reality.  Instead of your cells being capable of anything, they have fallen into a regimented routine established by previous experiences.  It means we are walking on an old path over and over again, with minor variations, instead of creating a new path through the woods.  If we want to reach our full potential, we must be willing to erase some of our old ways and open up to new experiences and possibilities.  Clearing out old processes is key to expanding into a new and fresh identity.  We have to make room by destroying the old so there is space to let in something better.  This means taking a hard look at yourself and getting rid of what does not serve you.  It also means being creative and deciding what it is that you do want.  There are many ways to go about this, and it is best to think about it as a process of purification.  When we purify, we are opening ourselves up to our underlying, limitless state.  Following guidelines for balanced living, like in TCM or Ayurveda, naturally resets the body and allows consciousness to expand, and treatments help the body function at its highest capacity.  There are other methods, such a past life regression, that allow you to discover and release old habits that are keeping you stuck.  The technique you choose is not as important as how much you want to change.  Most of us get used to patterns and find a comfort in them, whether or not we are happy.  Breaking out of them can be tough, but the best things in life are rarely easy.

Hair Analysis – Nutrition

hair nutritionLet Your Hair Unlock the Secrets to a Healthier, Happier You

Wouldn’t you love to discover exactly which foods are making you sick?  By “sick” I mean that you have symptoms such as:

  • Food allergies and intolerances;
  • Skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, rashes or itchy skin;
  • Digestive problems such as bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, flatulence or irritable bowel;
  • Neurological symptoms like ADD/HD, headaches and migraines, sleep disorders;
  • Reproductive issues e.g. PMS, miscarriage or infertility;
  • Even weight loss… the list goes on!

The Biocompatibility Hair Analysis Test and Wellness Programme – A Different Approach

The Biocompatibility Hair Analysis Test and Wellness programme can be just what you’re looking for to finally get some effective solutions that can totally restore good health.  If you’re not getting good enough results from your usual naturopath or practitioner, or are they’re just taking a Band-Aid approach, then it’s time to try something new.

The program is a 6 month wellness programme to help you get well.  The first step is to sort out your diet and eliminate foods and chemicals that are aggravating your symptoms and all that’s required is one small hair sample.  The sample is sent away to a laboratory on the Sunshine Coast for testing.  This is not medical allergy testing, but uses testing equipment based on energetics developed over the last 30 years by an experienced natural health practitioner.

The Test

The lab tests you for 500+ local foods and household products with the standard list including;

  • Vegetables, meats, fruits
  • Nuts, seeds and herbs
  • Oil/fats
  • Seafood
  • Dairy
  • Alcohol and other drinks,
  • Flours and grains
  • Supermarket and health shop (organic) foods
  • Common supplements
  • Gluten-free foods
  • Kitchen, laundry and bathroom products
  • Metals such as gold, silver and aluminium plus more.
  • There is even a special list for babies and pets.

This test takes all the guess work out of what food or product is good or bad for YOU.  It’s a personal and individual test that can tell you exactly what you can eat so that you can feed your body correctly.  This allows your body to repair effectively as your immune system is able to operate more efficiently.

The test is safe, painless and accurate.  It involves no needles or blood samples – just a piece of your hair!

How to take the test

All you need to do is come in for an initial appointment and supply approximately a 2cm long x 1cm width of hair along with the order form.  When received the order will be processed, then Julianne will contact you to make your next appointment.  The hair sample takes approximately 5 working days to be processed, and then your full report will be ready.

The Program

During your initial consultation you will receive an outline of what the hair analysis will consist of.  Your second treatment you will receive your fully individualised and comprehensive report listing all the foods and chemicals tested, along with supplemental general health information and further information which Julianne may recommend.  This could be in the form of natural supplements – yes, a small range is tested such as fish oils, probiotics and protein powders – in order to formulate a specific diet protocol based around foods that do not impede your immune system.  It’s easy to integrate into your existing diet and lifestyle, and therefore easy to adopt and stick to.

You are able to track and monitor your own symptoms and then a 4 week follow-up consultation with Julianne is made to review your progress.  This is when any troubleshooting, extra testing of any specific items or further supplementation if need be is discussed.

Results vary from person to person, with many people experiencing 60 – 80% improvement in 4 weeks.  Some symptoms can be 100% eliminated after the 1st week!

Lasting changes will be experienced because it’s working at the very root of the issue – NOT just masking your symptoms.

After 6 months, a retest is recommended to discover which foods have corrected and can now be reintroduced into your diet, which ones have not, and if any new foods need to be eliminated.

A Different Approach to Wellness

The Biocompatibility Hair Analysis and Wellness Programme takes a whole new approach to your health care.  This is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution, but a personalised health programme that can unlock simple secrets to a healthier, happier you!

Please feel free to contact us on 0406 688 832 for further information regarding the test or program.

Why Avoiding Problems Harms Your Health

Why Avoiding Problems Harms Your Health

  • Posted By : Meagan Rashleigh/

I think a lot of us can identify with avoiding things in life that we know need to be dealt with. Avoiding Problems Harms Your Health.

harming-healthI don’t mean waiting on something that isn’t urgent or prioritizing tasks based on your circumstances.  I mean being aware that there is a problems in your life that requires your attention and refusing to do anything about it.  It may be putting off taking your car to the mechanic when it makes that funny noise, or rescheduling a dentist appointment several times until the twinge in your tooth becomes more than you can bear.  It’s normal to be afraid to address anxiety-provoking situations, but experience teaches us procrastinating only makes things worse.  The same rule applies to how we cope with our emotional issues.

Most of us know when something is haunting us.  Maybe we can’t forget an incident from our past or perhaps we are in the middle of a tough situation right now.  But whether or not we are willing to take action is a whole other story.  Avoiding pain is a common, but ineffective coping mechanism, and it looks different for different people.  Some people live in denial and are masters at self-deception.  They blame anything except themselves or wear “rose coloured glasses” no matter how bad things are.  Many use alcohol, drugs, food, or sex to drown the pain.  Other souls put on a brave face and convince themselves that they are just fine. These are often the types who focus on helping other people so they don’t have to work on themselves.  Some stay busy constantly and work long hours to take their minds off of their unhappiness.  Intellectuals like to depend on cold theory and logic to analyse their problems away.  The common denominator in all of these cases is that it doesn’t work.  These people are never at peace for long.  Sooner or later, those issues you refused to examine will rear their ugly head in the form of illness.

Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that healthy emotions are a vital part to overall wellness.  Feelings are a natural part of life and it is best to let them come and let them go as life unfolds.  Acknowledging emotions as they occur and letting them pass just as quickly means we aren’t holding onto anything and therefore can’t be bogged down by “emotional baggage”.  When we handle ourselves in this way, unpleasant feelings cannot hurt or scar us.  But if we continue to avoid traumas and push down the feelings that accompany the memory, this harms our health significantly.  It can manifest as emotional or physical symptoms and often appears as bodily pain.

What I am trying to tell you is facing your fears sets you free.  If you have a current concern in your life that needs your attention, do something about it now! Call us on 0406 688 832 or visit our website at releasewellness.com.au and lets start your road to recovery.  The longer you let it sit, the harder it is to solve.  If you are carrying around old wounds, it is time to mend them.  I was watching a movie recently where a woman, who had struggled with demons for years, went back to her childhood home filled with unhappy memories.  It was abandoned, a museum to her pain.  She stared at it in silence then suddenly started hurling rocks at it.  She finally collapsed on the ground, crying.  Now we all know the house wasn’t the problem.  It was what it represented.  And we also know what happened in that house isn’t happening to her now.  But she chose to relive her pain because she never coped with it. When we try to escape our problems, we are giving that house power that it has no right to hold over us.  The house is just a house, and the memory cannot hurt us unless we allow it.  Most of us have a symbolic house in our mind that intimidates us with its pain.  It is your job to tear it down.
