A Nutritional Approach

TCHC — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:13:53 +0000

A Nutritional Approach to Influence Cancer By L.G. Plaskett BA, PhD, C.Chem, FRIC WHY USE NUTRITION IN CANCER? Serious interest in the potential for nutritional medicine in cancer therapy is more than justified by the severe limitations of current forms of cancer treatment with orthodox medicine. Although there is much that these therapies can achieve, huge numbers of patients are being left eventually with no further treatment options and go on to die. Moreover, there have been repeated and widespread accounts in the scientific and medical literature that nutritional factors powerfully influence the development and growth of cancer. Many would say that, given the full weight of scientific evidence, the health professions have been very remiss in not carefully investigating the potential power of nutrition as cancer treatment. Given the potential of nutritional therapy the determination to avoid investigating it seems tantamount to letting the public down. WHY IS NUTRITIONAL TREATMENT NOT BEING USED WIDELY? Money and decision-making power in cancer research is in the hands of the orthodox medical profession. That profession seems greatly committed to the currently standard techniques of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy and very little else. Those who would like to advance the idea that other [...]

Acne

TCHC — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 01:58:00 +0000

Acne Signs and Symptoms Spots of various size, colour and appearance form on the face, neck, chest and back. Whole areas of skin can be affected, damaging self-esteem and confidence and making the sufferer self-conscious. Causes The most common cause is hormonal changes that stimulate oil production in the sebaceous (oil-producing) glands of the skin. Together with dead skin cells and bacteria, this oil (sebum) blocks the pores causing acne to develop. Acne is often worst during puberty as testosterone levels increase, which can cause an over-production of sebum. Premenstrual hormonal changes can also trigger acne. Poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, stress and anxiety may play a part too. Orthodox treatments Skin creams and gels containing benzoyl peroxide are used to unblock the pores, while antibiotics may be prescribed if the pores have become infected. Other creams based on vitamin A may be used to reduce sebum production, but these can cause side effects. Oral contraceptives are sometimes prescribed to young women with hormone-related skin problems. Cosmetic surgery may be recommended for severe facial scarring. Complementary treatments * Herbal medicine – Ayurvedic, Tibetan and Japanese herbal formulas are all used to treat acne. Two of the most well-researched herbal medicines are [...]

Adrian Antrum MCTHa Licensed Trager Practitioner ‘The Trager Approach’ is a profound bodywork and movement education form, which utilizes gentle rhythmic movements to facilitate the release of stressful physical and mental patterns. Such patterns can be the result of emotional trauma, accidents, illness, poor posture and movement habits. These and the stress they evoke can result in stiffness, pain and functional limitation. Trager work consists of various elements one being table work, where the client is passive and gently moved by the practitioner either lying prone or supine or on their side. A further element is done off the table where the client actively participates in a range of self care exercises embodying the experience of the table work, known as Mentastics Movement Education. In this the client is encouraged to explore how fluid and open their body can be. Essentially, Mentastics teach adults to play again, and are great fun to do. Adrian qualified as a ‘Trager’ practitioner in 1998 and continues to find it a privilege to offer its benefits to clients whether it be for their remedial needs or pure pleasure. The meditative approach by the practitioner underpins the technique resulting in a deep sense of harmony [...]
