Beauchamp VS Pasteur

An unmissable podcast exploring the challenges of setting up a successful CAM practice post covid, when most people now accept the need to be communicating and offering online services.In this unmissable podcast for anyone looking to set up or expand their CAM practice, Andrew discusses with Mary Greensmith, founder of Homeopathy 247 and Natural Health Courses Online, the challenges that CAM Graduates face as they start to take their clinical practice online.Mary explains that within her courses, designed to mentor CAM practitioners through their start-up challenges, how important it is to build a strong repour with potential clients, and methods to identify potential people with similar interests, rather than waste hours on ineffective social media. In short, these courses can save would-be CAM practitioners hours of time and expense when setting up their practice.learn more: https://postgrad-homeopath.com/courses-for-health-practitioners/Save 25% off course throughout August for all CAM practitioners  https://naturally-minded.mykajabi.com/offers/2DFEuNZh/checkout?coupon_code=BUILDMYBUSINESS25sign up here: https://postgrad-homeopath.com/build-your-international-homeopathic-practice-webinar/ 

Andrew and Barbara Wren explore the physiological effects of stress in connection with Cellular hydration.In this insightful podcast, we look at ways that we can self-empower ourselves with techniques and an understanding of how to best handle the anxiety we all seem to be facing more and more these days.Looking at protecting our levels of hydration and appropriate electrolyte levels to enable us to deal with this pressure more efficiently. Reviewing the role of juicing, smoothies, and broths, when promoting great hydration with a more alkaline manner and its effects on Henrik Krammers 16 stages of cellular change.www.conellaholdings.com

Andrew Wren talks to Barry Tanner.In this interview, Andrew Wren explores the function, funding, and processes applied in cases that involve either the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and Trading Standards Office (TSO) and review their differing legal powers to enforce any suggested infringement of regulations, whilst also reviewing the latest resurgence of cases now coming out of the Surrey and Buck’s TSO.  Barry Tanner is a regulatory consultant to the CAM sector with over 25 years of experience in developing regulatory processes, dealing with Government bodies, and acting as a Professional Witness for both the Crown Prosecution Services and private litigators whilst also serving as the regulatory lead for a number of professional associations. Within these roles, Barry has assisted the successful defense of many CAM practitioners.We also discuss the increasing need for membership bodies to start educating their members about these potential issues, and instruct their members on options to reduce the risk of conflict; for example, knowing where to get your site reviewed to avoid controversial content before launching, and understanding how one can use content previously thought forbidden, such as clients’ testimonials. We also explore the role of our practitioner insurance, in defending any such challenges. It’s a must for all CAM practitioners.

The first in the series of webinars by Conella.In this episode, Andrew interviews the renowned, Naturopath, teacher and author, Barbara Wren.In this episode, Andrew interviews the renowned, naturopath and teacher Barbara Wren, who is also the author of the bestselling books Cellular Awakening and our Return to the Light.  During this fascinating interview, Andrew and Barbara explore many of the key naturopathic principles, that have been forgotten in many of today’s nutritional teachings and practices.  For example, the importance of embracing the controversial idea that we have the ability to store and convert light into energy, whilst acknowledging the seamless connection this has to Heinrich Kremer’s observations of the 16 stages of cellular change, i.e. cells change from healthy “aerobic” cells (80% oxygen – 20% glucose), that can capture and hold light effectively, to the other extreme of the spectrum “anaerobic” cells that are (80% glucose and 20% oxygen) and are far less effective at converting light into energy, to produce ATP, (as low as 1;16th as effective) which is essential for healthy respiratory function.  They also discuss the importance of being able to identify predispositions in a naturopathic client, and the need to interpret this within the key principles of Hering’s law of cure, and the importance of addressing cellular dehydration and the role of high spin water.In short, it’s a thought-provoking talk that sets your mind spinning with the endless possibilities open to us to optimise our health and wellbeing.

Blood tests were originally envisaged as a way of helping to diagnose diseases. Since their inception, the number of ailments tested for has risen dramatically, along with the volume of ‘routine’ tests we’re exposed to.The latter are typically carried out when there is nothing actually wrong with the patient. While these may be slightly unpleasant, they’re viewed as a necessary evil because they’re only minimally invasive and can yield supposedly valuable information about our health.A phrase that’s often used to justify these blood tests is ‘better safe than sorry. However, while these may seem like only a minor inconvenience, it’s easy to lose sight of the enormous amount these tests cost the National Health Service each year.The way we justify this expense is by looking at blood tests as a preventative measure; as the only way of ensuring that we are, in fact, as healthy as we appear. However, we’re not avoiding any sort of disastrous outcome if we are in fact healthy to begin with!Even where these results say we’re healthy, though, how can we be certain we actually are? We rarely stop to question the validity of these findings, but can it perhaps be dangerous to accept what we’re told - and, ergo, the standard way of doing things - without any wider questions being raised?That’s what we’ll explore in this discussion piece.How are blood test results interpreted?When you have a blood test, the results of that test are compared to the normal and accepted range for healthy individuals. These numbers indicate the lower and upper limits, and if your results fall outside of them, you’re considered to have an issue.However, there is no ‘manual of life’ to tell us where these figures should fall. Medical professionals have invented these ranges by taking the results of lots of seemingly healthy individuals and creating an average.So how did we manage before blood tests were invented? If we look at medical case history, taking naturopathy and other forms of early medicine into account, it becomes clear that we were able to assess the health of individuals long before we developed these methods.This raises obvious questions. Firstly, if we can evaluate someone’s health without a blood test, why is it necessary to carry them out on such a frequent basis? Secondly, if a person looks and feels healthy but their blood tests disagree, are they unhealthy or not? Thirdly, if a person feels unwell but blood tests as being healthy, is the blood test correct or their lived experience?This is a major issue with modern medicine. We have decided that the blood test is more important than any other diagnostic tool and that it overrides what we actually feel. This becomes problematic once we realise that an industry that benefits from us being ill is the one deciding on whether or not we’re healthy.This can thus cause us to question ourselves. We may feel perfectly well, but if a test tells us otherwise, we’re expected to take action. The medical establishment suggests we must act immediately, undergoing costly treatments to make ourselves ‘well’ again i.e. to make numbers on paper align.These blood tests are meant to provide a clear picture of how our bodies and their internal systems are operating. This means flagging up any organs that are being overworked or coming under strain. For example, if high levels of a particular hormone are detected, the assumption is that the gland producing these has become overactive. Similarly, if low levels of nutrients are uncovered, medical professionals suggest we should be supplementing these........ read on

As individuals, we are all exposed to a variety of substances on a daily basis, from the foods we eat to the household and hygienic products we use to environmental agents. This constant exposure can cause the bloodstream to become overloaded with allergens, inflammatory agents (e.g., bacteria, fungi, antigens), undigested food, and even fibrin, which is a blood clot-forming protein. The buildup of these types of substances can put a strain on the immune system and subsequently lead to the increased production of pro-inflammatory proteins that can worsen pain or discomfort, making it harder to recover and cause immune hypersensitivity. Certain remedies may cause side effects and even weaken the immune response by design (such as allergy and arthritis medications), while others can target harmful invaders, promote cleansing and detoxification, and strengthen the immune system.One beneficial range of natural remedies that can support a healthy immune and inflammatory response are proteolytic enzymes. Beneficial proteolytic enzymes include peptidase, nattokinase, protease, papain, and bromelain. These enzymes support the complete digestion of proteins from foods, and certain other circulating protein particles. They may even help cleanse the body of harmful toxins and microorganisms.When there is an excessive buildup of undigested food (e.g., sugars, fats, proteins, etc.), toxins, fibrin, and infectious agents, these substances can be transferred to the large intestines or bloodstream where antibodies attach to them and create what are known as circulating immune complexes (CICs). Antibodies bind to undigested food particles and other harmful substances as a means of signaling the immune system to increase the production of white blood cells that can seek out and destroy them.  The human body needs food (macronutrients) for energy, growth and repair and to keep warm. We need many nutrients on a daily basis in order to stay healthy. The three main nutrient groups in food are carbohydrates, protein and fats.  A normal digestive system can quickly convert macronutrients into micronutrients like amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.  A less than optimal digestive system may not properly convert foods into nutrients. This may lead to a condition known as leaky gut (LG).  With LG, partially digested foods may enter the circulatory system and begin to decompose into CIC’s.  High levels of CICs can put a strain on the immune system and reduce its ability to fight off other infectious agents. Accordingly, CICs are linked to the onset of various complications [8]. More specifically, the accumulation of CICs may cause abnormal cortisol levels as well as chronic systemic inflammation that is associated with the onset of cardiovascular, blood sugar, memory, and even metabolic issues.Peptidase and nattokinase, in particular, target substances that cause fluid accumulation, inflammation, and swelling. This leads to rapid drainage and cleansing away from the affected region. This process also shortens the recovery period. Peptidase is especially unique as this enzyme is produced by non-pathogenic bacteria called Serratia sp. E-15, which is localized in the intestines of silkworms. This powerful enzyme breaks down the walls of the chrysalis that silkworms grow in as they begin to undergo metamorphosis, the process through which they become moths. Based on this discovery, it was proposed that this enzyme is capable of breaking down dead tissue without damaging an organism’s healthy cells. This property heightens immunity by promoting the destruction and detoxification of harmful substances that the immune system is normally tasked with addressing.

These days the term naturopathic is bounded around by a wide range of health providers who want to associate their activities with an ability to work with natural rhythms that influence our bodies, for example the circadian rhythm, in a non-suppressive manner. Yet on closer inspection, we have to ask how many really live up to this esteemed label?An example of this quandary is the controversial question; does our diet affect our health and do we need to supplement this diet?The trouble with trying to answer these questions is that we assume there’s a simple yes or no answer when the truth is a little more complicated.To help us get into the subject deeper we need to revisit the great debate that took place between Antoine Béchamp and Louis Pasteur in the mid 1850s. In this debate Antoine Béchamp demonstrated his theory that all disease comes from within and it’s our internal environmental changes that brings about the opportunity for disease (dis-ease) to progress, leaving the responsibility for our health entirely in our own hands, the science of epigenetics supports this theory further, while also challenging the gene theory. In contrast, Louis Pasteur believed that all disease comes from an external invasion (the germ theory) and therefore these invasions should be simply eradicated, which often leads to rapid, sometimes impressive responses from the body, yet this approach also has the potential to weaken our natural immune reactions in the future. Orthodox gene theory, has the advantage of removing any self-responsibility for an individual’s health issues, as it suggests our destiny is already mapped out for us from birth, so simply sit back and enjoy the ride, none of this is your fault!History shows that Louis Pasteur won the day and the support of big pharma who took his theory and created a multibillion-pound industry based on this view. However, this view can never really sat comfortably with any traditionally trained naturopath, who by their very definition embrace the Béchamp theory of disease development and there are suggestions that this didn’t sit well with Pasteur at the end too “On his deathbed, Louis Pasteur said "Bernard was correct. I was wrong. The microbe (germ) is nothing. The terrain (milieu) is everything."If the answer is within us, how can we monitor and influence the progression of disease?Naturopaths should follow the principles of “Herings Law of Cure”, which clearly demonstrates that to truly rid the body of toxicity (dis-ease or inflammation) illness must be seen to leave the body from the top to the bottom, from the greater organs to the lesser organs and in the reverse order in which they manifested. Therefore if a disease state suddenly disappears we should ask how it happened and where has it gone, more often it’s sent deeper into the cellular levels of the body.These days nutritionists are all too often being attracted by pseudo medical tests, rather than relying on naturopathic observation, often leading to expensive recommendations that need constant tinkering

COVID-19 has been having a huge impact on all our lives over the past few months: socially, emotionally, and financially. The current government restrictions have meant that normal life, and all its freedom, is unlikely to be fully reinstated for the foreseeable future, in a bid to slow down the infection rate.  But the origin of this ‘virus’ is still unclear and is a vaccine our only hope of seeing a return to normal life?There is an abundance of existing work, research and theories surrounding COVID-19 and similar viruses which remain fairy undiscussed in the mainstream.  For people to make truly informed decisions, it's important to gain a holistic view of all available research and facts.  Maybe then we might become empowered enough to make informed decisions about the way we choose to view and approach the subject in question.I don’t know about you, but in a bid to reduce society's fear of the current pandemic, I feel a strong need to obtain a greater insight into the real challenges our frontline workers are facing.  Whilst doing so, it's become evident that the answer might come from identifying what caused historic pandemics.  listen to learn more..
