We
believe that the path to health involves not only physical but
also mental, spiritual, emotional and social aspects of one’s
being. Each individual has an innate healing potential, expressed
as a Vital Force, which must be encouraged, not blocked or suppressed.
This is the philosophy of Dr
David Nye, a registered General Practitioner,
Homeopath and Acupuncturist, and of Dr
Sandi Nye, a registered Naturopath. We both practise
Integrative Medicine
to optimise treatment in difficult and complex dis-ease situations
at the Greenhouse Holistic Health Care Centre in Observatory,
Cape Town.
NOTE: Dr David & Dr
Sandi Nye are currently away on an extended sabbatical, and
the Centre is currently closed.
We believe that you, the patient,
need to take responsibility for your health, whereas we are
here to guide and assist you in that quest. It is not our aim
to dictate but to form a team with you to negotiate and plan
how best to achieve optimum health.
This is the essence of an HOLISTIC
approach to health.
Those suffering with Chronic
Disease know that it is a journey with many ups
and downs, many hopes and disappointments. There may be genetic
factors involved, which are beyond your control. There are often
many obstacles in the way, which hinder cure. Conventional medicine
seldom offers a cure for chronic disease; but it can be life
saving in acute emergencies and acute disease. Complementary
and Alternative medical approaches are needed to address the
complex problems in chronic disease, and to bring about energetic
balance which restores the body to self-regulatory optimal function.
Together, we need to:
* Identify and remove the obstacles
to cure
* Identify and avoid allergens
* Support the organs of the body
* Modulate the immune system
* Assist the Vital Force to restore health
Treatment of chronic disease
is very complex and it is important to follow a structured program.
* Nutritional therapy is used to address deficiencies or excesses.
* Lifestyle errors must be corrected as these can present significant
obstacles to cure.
* If indicated, challenge testing for heavy metal toxicity can
be performed. Chelation
therapy is based on the results of the test, and
is the most effective way of ridding the body of toxic metals.
* Many adults with chronic disease have developed a leaky
gut, which needs to be repaired with Regulation
therapy. This is achieved with Herbs
and other natural medicines.
* Electro-Dermal Screening and Biofeedback with the aid of the
SCIO
computerised stress testing is useful in identifying and treating
stresses and stressors impacting on the body.
* The Naturopathic
medicine approach focusses on using natural treatment methods
and lifestyle modifictations to treat acute and chronic disease.
* A patient may choose to have
symptomatic or constitutional
Homeopathic treatment.
*For muscular or joint injuries,
chronic headaches, or sinusitis, Acupuncture
treatment with laser or needles can be very effective.
A very effective treatment for many conditions, called Biopuncture,
involves injecting Homotox preparations into acupuncture or
trigger points.
* Emotional upsets or imbalances
can very safely and quickly be helped with Flower
Essences, which are made up into a prescription
bottle, to be taken by mouth.
* Rife Resonator therapy
is another modality used, which has proved very useful in viral,
fungal or parasitic invasions.
* B.E.M.E.R.
therapy employs rapidly pulsating electro-magnetic currents
to assist healing.
* Ozone Therapy
is an efficient intravenous method of boosting the immune system.
* Aromatic
Medicine is the exciting scientific development
of Aromatherapy, using essential oils internally and externally
to treat illness.
Each person with his/her dis-ease is very individual, thus the
above schedule is merely a guide, as the path of healing is
different for everyone.
