Good NUTRITION is the PLATFORM upon which we build HEALTH

We then apply Alternative Medicine to stimulate a return to health

Our holistic approach:

Having put in place a healthy diet, removing unnecessary and unsuitable foods and supplements, we examine lifestyle and personal circumstances for each patient. If treatment is necessary, we have several options from which to choose, each of which is tailored to the individual patient and each of which may, with care, be integrated with other therapies. Success depends upon the patient's ability and will to recover, our ability to stimulate the healing process and our success in finding and eliminating all obstacles to recovery.

The main therapies we use are:

Homeopathy

Homeopathy provides a very real chance of cure in many cases of otherwise refractory, stubborn and distressing chronic disease. It uses 'energy medicine' - extremely dilute forms of substances that have been energised or 'potentised' to bring about rapid, powerful, gentle and safe therapeutic effects. The processes involve energetic changes in the body, rather than pharmacological effects. The medicines act as a stimulus to self-cure. MORE

Acupuncture

Acupuncture applied holistically, along with internal medicine, chiropractic manipulation and dietary input, uses point stimulation (usually with needles but sometimes with other methods e.g. LASER) to bring about balancing of the body and resolution of disease processes. It is also a powerful means of pain control. MORE

Herbal Medicine

The forerunner of modern conventional drug medicine, herbal medicine in its traditional form (preferred by the AVMC) uses plants (not purified ingredients) for their medicinal and nutritional benefits on the body. At the AVMC, we mostly use indigenous herbs. MORE
