June newsletter from CHI / CiChealth

Hi Everyone

Such a beautiful sunny day and Maddy and I got some miles in the boots this afternoon. But unlike Daisy dog, who after her morning walk retreated under the bushes, we decided a cup of tea was more appropriate.

A weekend back I was in Exeter for part of the three day Back2health conference on cancer.  As always, at these events, top quality speakers offering sound advice backed up with experience and expertise.  A great reminder what a complex disease it is and that how crucial it is to not be rail roaded into a decision on the treatment until you know what is out there, what is working and who your experts are.   
What it always brings home to me on hearing just what other countries are doing, is how very backward and second rate our service and medical options are in this field.  Yes there are always successes but the choice is so limited and with better choice comes better chances for more.

Despite the billions spent,i see a rise of 70% in skin cancer and liver cancer was announced today......These are not just due to living longer, these are appearing in younger people and as much as many of us don't want to change the way we live, I'm pretty sure we would like to reduce the risk of dying in this manner.

Some of the speakers were filmed and the guy filming them is hoping to get 'Oasis TV' a channel on health, up and running on the internet.

Dr Rosie Daniel and Barbara Wren were brilliant speakers, emphasis on what the patient wants first and foremost along with supportive techniques to health.  We don't always need a sledgehammer approach,even if the illness seems so big. It would be good to see subtle ways offered as the viable and effective option they can be.

I couldn't be there for the whole 3 days sadly,but Patricia Peat spoke and I know many of you attended her talk here last year.....We are looking to invite her back - so watch this space.  The info is forever updating with Patricia and if you work with anyone going through cancer, then her talk i'm sure would be invaluable.   The feed back from all those that attended last year was all positive.

With so much emphasis on the paleo diet these days, this little video clip is a good reminder of the benefits of it but also that one way doesn't suit all.  Plus a reminder that it's not just swapping carbs for meat.



Information from Graham Blakely, many of you will know Graham and his wealth of experience and knowledge.  He has put together a 2 day workshop on Trigger point therapy.  At this stage he wants to know who might be interested and if so, drop us a line and he'll sort a venue and dates.
All tools in the tool kit as they say.

This Tuesday at Thierrys clinic,116 Ramsden Square,Cambridge 4-6pm is the Arnica meeting.  If you would like to come along, drop us a line. A support group for parents looking at a non vaccine approach and the support that is needed for that. Again,if you have clients that have that dilemma, then please come along yourself and/or let your clients know about it.


You will also see with this email are details of a Yes to Life event on breast cancer.  I have to say that these events just get better and better.   The last one on prostate cancer was excellently attended and the speakers are the very best.  such is the quality of these events,speakers approach them. 

Dr Contreras is a real headline grabber in this field and what a good opportunity for gaining knowledge and CPD 
I would be very surprised if we all are not in contact in some form with someone that is going through this.

So hopefully see you there.  It looks like from Cambridge, head to Kings Cross and then pick up the underground.

Or driving to the Blackhorse carpark in Walthamstow ( top of the M11 from here....costs just a few £'s to park and the tube station is directly opposite.

Not sure just how powerful nutrition is and the role of mitrochondria in the body, this TedX talk by Dr Terry Wahls who had an aggressive form of MS, cured herself with nutrition.


Being therapist, i don't need to tell you how wonderful our bodies are.....but aren't they! - when given the right circumstances and the intelligence of such people as this doctor to look for it outside of their known boxes.

This coming Saturday 28th - Grantchester Tea Gardens 10-12   The Cambridge School of Philosophy will hold its 2nd summer lecture entitled..      Protecting Your Heart  
‘Growing old’ is a challenge that we will all face at some time (hopefully). Developing a philosophical attitude as we grow older can help to address that challenge. This talk will develop that theme.              
Speaker: Richard Edmunds     free to attend, but now a charge for parking.

Enjoy!

Keep us posted with anything that you think is worth sharing, courses, workshops, events, awareness etc.....that way we all get a chance to share opportunities and that's what it's all about.

Sarah & Maddy
