How to Leave Your Calling Card

By Audrey Frawley    Thursday, May 09, 2013
There is one simple thing you can do to spread the word about you and your practice to potentially thousands of clients; leave your calling card on all that you do. A calling card, is simply a signature containing a link(s) which you place at the end of every blog you write, every article you post, and ever forum or group you belong participate in. It need only be short and sweet (think business card writing with limited space) but it is very effective. Back in the day before the Internet, business and personal letters would always contain your contact information and we'd hand out business ...Read More

By Audrey Frawley    Friday, Feb 15, 2013
Conditions: Stress, anxiety, worry, fear
Experiencing anxiety for an extended amount of time put your immune system in danger. Scientific evidence has shown that chronic anxiety causes a measurable decline in the immune system’s ability to fight disease. Traditional stressors like traffic jams, demanding work things, family squabbles are usually temporary. Others will be a lot of long lasting such as divorce and death within the family. What happens after we experience a stressful circumstance such as an aggressive driver, angry boss or heated argument with a friend? Our brains signal our adrenal glands to start out releasing ...Read More

By Audrey Frawley    Tuesday, Feb 12, 2013
The USA spends over $230+ billion on health care each year. Yet... the USA is only 31st in life expectancy worldwide. The pharmaceutical industry is the biggest defrauder of the USA federal government under the False Claims Act. Yet... of the 165+ criminal and civil settlements made in the last 20 years, 75% of fines and 73% of settlements against the pharmaceutical industry occured in just the last five years. In order for drugs to be FDA approved, clinical trials must be performed; primarily funded by pharmaceutical companies. Yet... over 106,000+ people die each year in the USA from FDA ...Read More

Arthritis and the Alexander Technique

By Audrey Frawley    Monday, Feb 11, 2013
Conditions: Arthritis, pain, chronic pain, joint pain
The Alexander Technique is a natural treatment and is highly beneficial for those who suffer from joint pain; usually referred to as arthritis. The Alexander Technique teaches the patients about their patterns of movement. It focuses upon proper posture and movement and the small details that one often doesn’t even think about. For instance, it involves how to sit in such a way that the neck and back remain in alignment and how not to stress your spine while you sit, etc. This is the only way patients can be able to learn how to distribute their body weight evenly, according to the ...Read More

Pondering Tai Chi for My Back Pain.

By Audrey Frawley    Friday, Jan 25, 2013
Conditions: back pain, chronic pain
Though Tai chi seems to be perfectly designed to relieve back pain, it serves a lot of purposes otherwise, for instance; it helps restore the energy levels and makes people feel more active. They are able to perform their duties in a better way consequently living a healthier lifestyle. This improvement in health conditions and the quality of life has only been made possible through Tai chi; a very simple and harmless modality which has been seeded by the Chinese. Now, before moving any further with how Tai chi works for back pain and what needs to be done in that case specifically, ...Read More

What I've Learned About the Alexander Technique and My Aching Back

By Audrey Frawley    Friday, Jan 18, 2013
Conditions: back pain, chronic pain,
A majority would attest the fact that they do not care much about how and with what intensity they do something in general, for instance; one never cares how hard he throws himself on the couch to watch TV several times in a day or how intensely one turns his arm to slam the door, who knows how many times daily! The list in fact, continues with similar, non-deliberate actions that might be harmful for people suffering from Back pain in these cases. Well, the credit goes to Alexander Technique here, which has educated the people over time, how to make proper movements and get the job done ...Read More

Vaccines More Dangerous than what They Prevent?

Conditions: flu, polio, chickenpox, diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae type b, HepA, HepB, Flu, Measles, Mumps, whooping cough, polio, pneumococcus, rotavirus, rubella, tetanus, Human papillomavirus, Shingles
This year my mother, mother-in-law and partner all were encouraged (using fear techniques) to get a flu shot and they all did. My grown adult children who work in the service industry were also encouraged (employment repercussions) to get a flu shot. The incessant nature of the 'encouragement' had my internal spidey-sense going off so I decided to do a little research on the topic. The United Nations recognizes the negative effects of mercury on human health and the environment and drafted a proposed treaty to ban mercury in an effort to eliminate its use in production. Thimerosal is a ...Read More

Remembering that You are Good.

By Audrey Frawley    Tuesday, Dec 18, 2012
Conditions: anxiety, pain, depression, fear,
There is a story which was circulating on the internet which ultimately my Uncle sent to me in an email. This is the story: I was recently told of an African tribe that does the most beautiful thing. When someone does something hurtful and wrong, they take the person to the centre of town and the entire tribe comes and surrounds him. For two days they’ll tell the person every good thing they have ever done. The tribe believes that every human being comes into the world as good, each of us desiring safety, love, peace, happiness. But sometimes in the pursuit of those things people make ...Read More

Conditions: pain, fever, headache, nausea, sunburn, diarrhea, skin irritations, athletes foot, motion sickness, dehydration
This time of year it gets mighty cold and dreary where I live and if possible I like to get away somewhere new and warm for a week or two. I’ve been lucky to have been able to travel to Cuba, Mexico, Spain, France and Italy to explore the different climates and cultures and meet new interesting people; some of whom are holistic practitioners themselves. In Cuba and in Europe I encountered physicians who also used some form of natural therapies – it was very encouraging and it was also educational. Each vacation I bring along with me my essentials first aid kit which contains ...Read More
