Roslyn Nixon - Wednesday, June 01, 2011

The Menzies Research Institute Tasmania has released research on Vitamin D3 and how it supports those people with Multiple Sclerosis. It is becoming very clear that a deficiency in Vitamin D3 is a major factor in many health disorders in the Western world. 

At Health Potential we are developing a protocol for identifying the supplement that will be best absorbed by your body. 

At Health Potential we do not diagnose,prescribe, we offer a traditional Kinesiology balancing for your body. 

If you are unsure whether you are deficient in Vitamin D3 ask your Dr to test your levels.

Seams Away for Children

Roslyn Nixon - Wednesday, June 01, 2011

In the US they call them 'sweaters'. In Australia they call them 'jumpers'. Jumpers or sweaters they're itchy. Add a long sleeved tee and say goodbye to winter itches. Soft clothing is available at Seams Away.

Seams away www.seamsaway.com.au in Australia is the first and only range designed for children with sensory sensitivities (a common symptom of Autism, Aspergers and Sensory Processing Disorder).

As you know tags, seams, buttons, zips and certain textures can irritate many children to the point of distraction especially children who experience sensory sensitivity. All of the Soft Clothing is tag less, flat seamed and made with soft brushed and bio-washed cotton for children sizes 3-12.

At Health Potential we work with children with sensory sensitivities, environmental and food sensitivities.

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Roslyn Nixon - Monday, March 01, 2010

Aspartame changes name another brand new food drug.

Watch out for wolf in sheep's clothing! Senomyx is the new little known and unlabeled nanotech product.

Never drink diet soda.  The new product unlabled is Senomyx which will only be labeled as an artificial flavor or flavor enhancer.

 It is now labelled GRAS (generally recognized as safe), and won't be labeled like other additives.  

Senomyx is made of such small scale materials that it can fit under the 5% organic standards rule.

Because these products are under the 5% rule they are not labeled in the US. Check all your labels carefully and look for code names such as AminoSweet.

Sound Therapy for Autism

What is an Autism Spectrum Disorder?

The way people think about autism has changed in recent years. It is best described as a group of disorders with a similar pattern of behaviour in three key areas - communication, social interaction and imaginative thought.

One of the greatest challenges facing parents working towards their child’s recovery is choosing among the many treatment options now available.  Which is ‘right’ for their child and confer the most benefit?
There is no easy answer, especially since children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are each unique, often requiring and individual treatment program.  However common to a majority of individuals with ASD is some form of auditory processing disorder.  Indeed, auditory processing problems are recognised today as the #1 sensory impairment in children diagnosed with an ASD.

Over the course of the last 15 years, there has been an increasing awareness of auditory-based interventions in the autism community.  The real catalyst, however, was the publication, in 1997, 0f Annabelle Stehli’s book The Sound of a Miracle: A Child Triumphs Over Autism, a mother’s account of her daughter Georgi’s success with Auditory Integration Training. This groundbreaking book offered parents a powerful new possibility: that a child with autism spectrum disorder could be helped – to the point of recovery even – by simply listening to special music through headphones.  Since that time, attention to auditory processing difficulties in SAD children has resulted in a new understanding of the degree to which auditory impairments affect a child’s ability to succeed.
