Calcium: Doubles Heart Disease Risk

by Leisa on February 14, 2013

Yesterday, on a mainstream news website, came this story “Women with high levels of calcium are at twice the risk of dying from heart disease“, a fact that naturopath’s have known for quite some time, but has been soundly ignored by medical professionals and the media.

Happy New Year 2012

by Leisa on January 1, 2012

Oh my goodness, where did 2011 go? It’s a very surreal feeling – on one hand I felt like the year just flashed by – and on the other I look at all that happened last year and am amazed at how much I managed to fit into it! It was certainly one of the

by Leisa on November 3, 2011

One of my pet subjects is anything and everything to do with thyroid health – having suffered from an underactive thyroid myself – I know how incredibly debilitating it can be to live with a thyroid that isn’t functioning well, and I have enormous empathy for anyone who has a problem in this area.

Medical Mistakes

by Leisa on June 24, 2010

Sitting in the hairdresser’s last week, I was reading the June issue of Madison Magazine and found an article on medical mistakes.  I wish I had asked to keep the article because I’ve tried to find a June copy from the local newsagents, but it is no longer available, and I wanted to quote some

Just last weekend I spend three days at the Metagenics 2010 International Congress, and as I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I loved every  minute of it. Metagenics is a company which produces naturopathic grade supplements – and even though I like to use food as medicine as my main treatment plan –

by Leisa on May 19, 2010

Just last week I received a letter from Metagenics, one of the premier naturopathic supplement companies in Australia and the US, notifying me of a natural product which had been taken from being freely available for naturopath’s to prescribe, and had been classed as an S4 medication which is now only available on prescription.
