A Happy Dog at last… Meet Polly!


From itchy, inactive and irritable
       to
happy, healthy and huggable in a few days!!

 

“When I bought Polly, as a puppy, she was energetic and very playful.

Soon after I bought her she developed dermatitis and would continually lick and scratch herself raw. She would also constantly beg to be scratched and would rub herself against your foot just to relieve an itch.  She also started to smell a bit funny… like old biscuits.

We took Polly to the vets which resulted in a medicated shampoo which we had to wash her with every week or so in order to sooth raw areas. We assumed the dermatitis was a reaction to grass or pollen. We fed both her and our other dog completely natural biscuits.

The dermatitis got progressively worse over the years, even with the constant washes. keep reading »

Be Careful What You Put in Your Mouth

Fruit and VegetablesI do have to question who funded the recent study that was published on 23 February 2012, when I see the suggested replacements for the foods on the ‘NEEDN’T’ List.

As a Kinesiologist, based in Mairangi Bay on the North Shore of Auckland, I feel I must express my concern about one of the ingredients (an artificial sweetener) in your Chewable Vitamin C 1000mg.

Because I was to be in a situation involving many people last weekend I decided I would take a booster of Vitamin C to guard against any cold infections. I had no symptoms of any cold but decided, as it had been some time since taking Vitamin C, that this may be a sensible idea.

A client had visited on Thursday of last week and had brought along a container of aforementioned Vitamin C. It was not a product I had used before but, due to its ease of being taken (chewable), I looked at the ingredients list and thought, “Great, this is for me”, and promptly rang your suppliers and ordered it… keep reading »

Feeling ‘in the Prime of Your Life’? If not, find out how you can!

CASE STUDY

From feeling ninety years old Constance moved to feeling in the ‘prime of her life’ in a few short weeks!!!

Is this what you would wish for yourself??

I first met Constance on 22 February 2011 when she took the opportunity of attending a special 45 min ‘Kinesiology taster’ session to check food intolerances and learn some quick tips to increase her energy and confidence levels.

At the time she expressed her concern that she felt 90 years old… and you may well ask, “What happened next?” and  ”How can Kinesiology possibly help shift more than 30 years in a few weeks? keep reading »
