Ancient Remedies for Modern Ailments – by Claire Galea

NO-ONE would argue that plants can poison and kill. Then, why is it so hard to accept they can also cure? Unless it’s prescribed, paid for over the counter and in pill form, then no-one wants to know – no matter how chronic their illness might be.
Meanwhile, medical statistics make grimmer reading year after year. Cancer is now the fourth biggest killer in Australia, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and, surprisingly is the fifth largest killer in the world[1].
If a person diagnosed with cancer was offered chemotherapy or frankincense essential oil, which do you think they’d choose? For that matter, which one would you choose?

The Institute of Functional Neuroscience

The Institute of Functional Neuroscience was established in 2008 to help improve the health and lifestyles of patients suffering from for example Migraines, Epilepsy, Seizures, Anxiety, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Vertigo and Autism.

The Institute works closely with medical and other health care practitioners to find solutions to neurologic cases which are not responding satisfactorily to established treatment protocols, and directly with patients for whom a medical diagnosis is inconclusive.
Historically, the search for the cause of disorders of the nervous system has focused on finding morphologic (physical) or chemical abnormalities. However, advanced research in the field of neuroscience is revealing previously unrecognised aberrations in neurologic integration or function as contributing factors.
Building on this research, the Institute has introduced the use of sophisticated, non-invasive diagnostic technology, including Qualitative Electroencephalography (QEEG), and Low-resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA), to detect underlying functional brain abnormalities which are not generally observed or measured with standard clinical testing.
By tracking the functional status of a patient’s unique brain patterns, we are able to identify abnormal neurologic pathways that may be involved in a patient’s failure to respond, or prove to the be underlying cause after which a strategy for normalising neural integration is implemented.
