SCENAR What?

You may have read of a therapy, called SCENAR therapy, on this blog in some of Lauren's posts. I thought I would post a bit about my experience with SCENAR, so you could understand a bit more about it.

SCENAR was developed in Russia over a 25 year period from the 1970's after a research company was commissioned to invent a therapy to keep the cosmonauts healthy in space. It was a combination of Ancient Chinese energetic therapy with modern bio feedback technology. It has been used in Australia for the last 6 or 7 years.

I was introduced to the therapy when I attended treatment for the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome I was suffering. After the first session I felt different. Brighter, less fuzzy in the head and I started to wake up in the morning feeling somewhat refreshed for the first time in many years.

After I'd had 5 sessions, Lauren (who was quite pregnant) started to kick me to get up to our 13month old instead of her (I was that good I could do this with no real problem). I was also sleeping in the multi layer therapy blanket (more about this in another post).

I was able to exert my body in exercise & be recharged after only a short rest. I could do a lot more in a day without getting sick the next day. All this after 5 sessions of therapy over only three weeks. All the other therapies I had tried had taken months if not years to make an effect. The improvements I have made with SCENAR have been permanent & I continue to improve.
It has made a HUGE improvement in my health.

I subsequently trained in SCENAR therapy & use it in my physiotherapy practice for the effective treatment of a very wide range of complaints. Many, many problems are resolved quicker & more fully than with conventional techniques.

Good websites for more info are SCENAR HEALTH USA & SCENAR HEALTH CANADA & SCENAR HEALTH AUSTRALIA.

SCENAR HEALTH Australia was where I went for treatment. SCENAR is also in other countries just not with SCENAR HEALTH, you could Google it.

Cancer Info Part 1

I received an e-mail this week from a friend with information about cancer in it that we have known for years now. But it was always considered "alternative weirdo" stuff.

The info was claimed to have comes out of John Hopkins University. So I thought oooh - it's gone main stream! However, the University denies this & says the e-mail is a hoax. See the following link for their response: (http://www.hoax-slayer.com/cancer-tips-john-hopkins.shtml)

They do admit though that it includes information that is "true" or partly "true". "True"in my experience with specialists generally means "clinically tested" not just anecdotal evidence.

It is information that is well worth passing on as it has helped a lot of people fight cancer & helped us fight CFS. Even though it might not be true yet!

I'll break it up into smaller blog size chunks.

Why doesn't everyone have CFS?

Watching T.V. last night, (Top Gear & Desperate Housewives are our two shows for the week - both on Mondays) I couldn't help but wonder that everyone doesn't have CFS?

Every other add was for some kind of 'mask your pain' medication, or 'kill the bacteria the toxic way' cleaner or 'get your vitamins & minerals the cheats way' food. ie eat ice cream for your afternoon calcium!! What is that?

Do people believe these adds?

Or do they believe the ones for preventatives; fresh food, quality supplements, exercise & health, products that do not harm the environment or our health?

It is so confusing when people can basically advertise whatever they want and everyone is trying to 'educate' through their 30 second grab. Why on earth would you believe any of it!

When everyone has an agenda or a sales pitch it is so hard to know who to believe.

There is a great website called the Campaign for Truth in Medicine you might want to check out. Interestingly they say their campaign is being hindered by people with alternatives pushing their own barrows a bit too much rather than cooperating for the truths' sake. (These are the guys who wrote ABCs of Disease that helped us so much with a good diet.)

Wouldn't it be awesome if we didn't have this problem. I often wonder what it would be like to live in a time when environmental illness wasn't an issue. But I guess living in a fallen world we'd have some other issue.

Maybe this is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.....(part 4 Becoming Alternative Weirdos)

At this point we decided to become proactive - Lauren started reading, reading, reading. We went to our first Naturopath we listened to tapes/CDs & watched videos/DVDs and went to seminars about health. We decided that we already knew what would happen if we didn’t do anything besides listen to GPs and Specialists.

Strangely enough it was at this point of research that we discovered Lauren also had diagnosable Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. We were surprised because Lauren’s symptoms were manageable with our slower lifestyle at the time and compared to Craig’s were nothing to complain about so she had never sought medical help. We found out by doing a questionnaire, like the one on the CFIDS Association of America website.

So what did we have to lose? We became alternative health “weirdos” and we started to see results. We got rid of all chemicals in the house, our food, our personal care products. We changed our diet cutting out sugar, yeast, lactose and gluten. We went as raw as we could and we started taking supplements.

Lauren’s results were much faster than Craig’s understandably. But Craig’s return to work this time was a lot faster and more permanent.
