 TABLE OF CONTENTS 

·        Chiropractic and Spinal Research

 

Did you overindulge this Christmas and New Year? Well good! That’s what Christmas is for. Good food, lots of laughs, time with friends and family.

 But what about the New Year? The extra inches? The aches and pains, the stuffy sinuses and winter colds?

 Naturally, Naturality is here to help. This month we are launching our very own detox plan.

 With just four simple steps, it couldn’t be easier to feel better for the New Year.

 Step One

Switch to Real food

 Step Two

Cleanse that Colon

 Step Three

Gall Bladder and Liver Flush

 Step Four

Rebuild and Renew.

 Unlike many detox plans, this one is designed to last you a life-time. Once you’ve made the change and felt the benefits, you won’t want to go back to those old bad habits.

 All of the ingredients of this detox are tried and tested but never before have they been available as a structured programme.

 In the kit, you get

 An 8 page booklet with step-by-step instructions

1 tub cytogold

1 300ml bottle of organic flaxseed oil

1 tub of cytocleanse

 The RRP of the three supplements on their own is £55 but for January, we are selling the entire kit for £49.00. The kits are great for everyone but we are really hoping they will appeal to those who like a DIY approach to healthcare.

 In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.  – Albert Camus

 We are pleased to welcome Alexander Caps to the practice. Alexander has been practicing Sports massage and aromatherapy for 18 years and he joins us to help ease all types of exercise-related aches and pains with his expert services.

 Alex and his partner Jayne are busy celebrating their own new addition, a baby boy born just before Christmas, named Kai.  

Special Offer

Massage - 20 minute taster session for £10.

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is the largest, natural, drug-free healthcare system in the western world! Chiropractic helps people recover from illness and disability faster and helps them minimize drugs and surgery. Chiropractic improves physical and emotional health; chiropractic patients report less stress, more vitality and more enjoyment in their lives! (1-3) Is it any wonder why so many millions of people are turning to natural, drug-free chiropractic?


Chiropractic is a system of healthcare that releases a serious stress from your body: the vertebral subluxation complex (spinal nerve stress). This is a spinal distortion that affects your nerves, muscles, internal organs, discs, bones, brain, posture and overall health.  If you have one, you can’t be fully healthy.

 
How Do You Get Subluxations?

Subluxations are caused by stress – any kind of stress: accidents, sitting or working in the same position, poor posture, sports, even emotional upset.  A subluxation gotten from a childhood fall can cause problems in adulthood.

 
How Do You Get Rid of Subluxations?

Get an adjustment! Your Chiropractor is specially trained to analyze your body for subluxations and safely, gently and painlessly correct them using specialized spinal adjustment techniques.

Nearly everyone has subluxations in their spine; it is a “hidden epidemic.” For that reason spinal checkups by a Chiropractor should be a part of everyone’s healthcare.  You get your eyes, teeth and blood pressure checked!  Why not your spine?

 Please tell those you care about to come in for a spinal checkup.  Friends don’t let friends stay subluxated.

 The Naturality Difference 

At Naturality, we don’t just do Chiropractic – although we still do a lot of chiropractic. We have found, after 20 years, that there is more to optimum health than removing subluxations – what’s more – nerve interference is not only caused by misaligned or fixated joints. Our comprehensive approach, looks at all blockages to normal function including nutrition, diet, exercise, dentistry, jewellery, posture and many other factors. 

Romantic Intimacy

A survey of 94 dating couples (in the relationship for an average of two years) showed that yelling, nagging or throwing insults lowered the feeling of intimacy. Previous studies with couples in long-term relationships show that partners tend to be more affected by negative than positive behaviors. Unhappy relationships have been linked to depression, eating disorders, excessive drinking, heart disease and chronic pain. (4)

Words of Wisdom

Vision is not enough. It must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs.  – Vaclav Havel

  At the center of the Universe is a loving heart that continues to beat and that wants the best for every person. Anything that we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings, is our job. Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service.  – Fred Rogers ("Mister Rogers") 1928-2003

  Nothing that’s forced can ever be right, if it doesn’t come naturally leave it.

- Al Stewart

Chiropractic and Spinal Research

Remember, a person with any kind of health problem needs chiropractic. Feel free to forward these studies to others.

Allergies, asthma, improved breathing, better digestion and better vision. In a Swedish study, patients from 87 chiropractic offices reported on conditions helped. Among them were: improvements with asthma/allergies and breathing, improved digestion, clearer/better/sharper vision, improved circulation, and improved acne/eczema. (6)

Crohn’s Disease and Allergy.  17 Crohn's patients received chiropractic care and 34 acted as controls. All patients continued their medication. 12 of the 17 chiropractic patients showed long-term and stable remission of their symptoms and of these, 9 experienced an alleviation effect. The researchers report “subluxation is a common and characteristic finding in patients with allergies and Crohn's disease.” (7)

Allergy.  Patients at a chiropractic college clinic often presented with ear-infection, sinus problems, allergy, bedwetting, respiratory problems and gastro-intestinal problems. Complete or substantial improvement was noted in 61.6% of pediatric patients of their chief complaint with 60.6% receiving “maximum” improvement. 56.7% of adult patients received “maximum” improvement. (8)

Case study; A “sticky end” to the problem

 Mrs JT, is 82 years young. Her daughter convinced her to come to the clinic because her mother had lost her sparkle. She said her mother couldn’t get going any more. Where she used to walk for hours, now it was a struggle to get out of the house.

 A free check-over showed how weak Mrs T had become. She said her weakness had been getting worse for a year. With much trepidation she put herself on a Whole Health package and committed to 6 visits.

 “The best Christmas present I’ve ever had” was how she described her recovery. The strange part of the story was the cure. One year ago, she had changed the glue that she used to hold in her dentures. The glue she changed to contained propylene glycol – a chemical often used in antifreeze. This upset her proprioception so much she could hardly walk. We found her another glue for her dentures, gave her a few exercises, nutritional advice, supplements and chiropractic treatment for her muscles and joints.  

 Breastfeeding Affects Intelligence

Breastfeeding appears to confer long lasting increases in a child’s cognitive ability and educational achievement into young adulthood. Breast fed children score higher in standardized tests, teacher ratings and academic outcomes in high school. (9) 

Exercise: Do you have to kill yourself to look great?


Do you feel guilty because you don’t look like the incredible Hulk or at least Spiderman (and don’t they wear body suits anyway?). Don’t knock yourself out to get in shape, a new study from Yale shows that even a little exercise, done regularly can work wonders. 173 overweight or obese sedentary women (50-75) were split into two groups: one just did stretching exercises and the other did some moderate exercise such as brisk walking done for an average of 3.5 days/176 minutes a week.  The walking group showed significant reductions in fat and weight. But don’t stroll, walk briskly.  Why not make an after dinner “constitutional” every evening?  It used to be what everyone did. (10)
