Anaemia is the most common disorder of the blood, and is defined as a qualitative or quantitative deficiency of hemoglobin, a molecule found inside red blood cells. Since hemoglobin normally carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, anemia leads to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in organs. Since all human cells depend on oxygen for survival, varying degrees of anemia can have a wide range of clinical consequences.
Most commonly, people with anemia report a feeling of weakness or fatigue in general or during exercise, general malaise and sometimes poor concentration.
People with more severe anemia often report shortness of breath on exertion. Very severe anemia prompts the body to compensate by increasing cardiac output, leading to palpitations and sweatiness, and to heart failure.
We can treat pre-diagnosed Anaemia very effectively.
Anxiety can result in feelings of fear, apprehension, or worry and is often accompanied by heart palpitations, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, digestive discomfort, or headaches. The problem results when the body’s fight or flight response is activated: blood pressure and heart rate increases, sweating is increased, blood flow to the major muscle groups is increased, and immune and digestive system functions are inhibited.
There may be other signs such as pale skin, sweating, trembling and large pupils. A sense of dread or panic may be present and symptoms may result in panic attacks.
We see many people with excessive anxiety and the problem arises when the body perceives danger in the absence of any. This is a result of our modern society and excessive pressure on individuals to perform. There are very effective ways of treating this problem. We have a safe, holistic approach here at Links Homeopathy.
Biofeedback is a very effective and scientifically-proven method to treat anxiety.

There are 2 major forms of arthritis and many different causes for both. Osteo-arthritis is more common in the elderly and is a condition where the cartilage in the joints wear away, inducing pain and stiffness mainly in weight-bearing joints. Rheumatoid arthritis affects the whole body, not just certain joints, and is an inflammatory condition. We have treated many people with arthritis successfully with our methods.

More and more children are developing attention difficulty. There are often organic brain dysfunctions along with behavioral components. Young children are often prescribed psychotropic drugs for pain relief, anxiety, bed-wetting and attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. This worrying trend is set to increase in the future. Experts say they are troubled by this trend because the effects of such drugs in children so young are largely unknown.
Some doctors worry that such powerful drugs could be dangerous for children’s development. Unresolved questions involve the long-term safety of psychotropic medications, particularly in light of earlier ages of initiation and longer durations of treatment. We follow a very effective holistic treatment protocol here at Links; this involves Homeopathic treatment as well as
Biofeedback.
Our success rate with this protocol speaks for itself.

Contrary to popular belief, we should empty our bowels at least twice or three times daily instead of only once. A healthy stool should break up easily and be no strain to pass. A large of majority of people suffer from constipation, predisposing them to chronic fatigue, toxicity, bowel cancer, and a large range of insidious health concerns. Iridology is a great tool to assess the extent of effects resulting from constipation, and indicate other organ involvement, such as liver or gallbladder. Homeopathy works hand in hand with iridology to bring gentle, effective relief.
A great number of people suffer from depression, and most of them are inadequately treated with the "band-aid" approach: they have to take drugs for the rest of their lives, which suppress the problem instead of addressing the cause.
Sub-optimum nutrition is a major cause of depression, as is disturbed blood-sugar levels and lack of exercise. Adrenal exhaustion, caused by excessive stress and over-use of stimulants can lead to depression too. Allergies are another factor to be considered. Sometimes a combination of these are involved, therefore a holistic approach should be followed which will address all of the factors involved. Our therapists can help to assess your status, and formulate a plan of action.
Our approach,
Biofeedback and
Homeopathy, are an effective holistic approach to this problem.

Adult onset diabetes is the result of increased resistance to the effects of insulin. This form of the disease is correlated with being overweight and inactive. Adult onset diabetes affects older adults and stems from factors that can be controlled – weight, diet and exercise.
The other type, juvenile diabetes is usually begins in childhood or adolescence and is an autoimmune disorder that requires regular injections of insulin. An increasing number of experts think that juvenile diabetes might be triggered by exposure to cow’s milk or beef during some critical period in infancy (before their digestive tract and immune system are fully matured) among genetically susceptible people. Juvenile diabetes is characterized by decreased production of insulin.
Biofeedback and
Homeopathy offer very effective and long-term results in the treatment of this disorder.

Diarrhoea is the body's way of quickly removing impurities and toxins from the digestive system, but sometimes diarrhoea can be caused by anxiety or stress. In babies, diarrhoea is often related to teething or colic and can be a cause of much fuss in the household.
Initial steps include avoiding dehydration by drinking/ giving plenty of fluids. Long-standing or very severe diarrhoea requires medical intervention.
Diarrhoea responds very well to the correct homeopathic prescription and we have treated many cases successfully. Please see

Gout is caused by improper metabolism of proteins, resulting in too much uric acid in the blood, urine and tissues. The uric acid crystallizes in the joints, acting as an abrasive and leading to swelling, pain and inflammation. Uric acid kidney stones are often a related problem.
Approximately 90% of gout patients are male. Obesity, improper diet, stress and familial tendency are all aggravating factors in gout.
Exercise will help. Patients should try to follow a low purine diet. Homeopathic therapy is very effective.

The menopause is triggered by the faltering, shutting down, or surgical removal of the ovaries, which are a part of the female body's endocrine system of hormone production, in this case the hormones which make reproduction possible and influence sexual behavior. This process involves the entire cascade of a woman's reproductive functioning, from brain to skin, and is a major physiological event. It usually has some effect on almost every aspect of a woman's body and life.
The menopause is a natural life change, not a disease state or a disorder. The transition itself can be challenging for a number of women, with severe uncomfortable symptoms such as anxiety, hot flushes, heartburn, insomnia and sweating.
We have treated many ladies very successfully for this concern, and can help turn the menopause into a much milder experience. There is no need to suffer the debilitating symptoms any longer, we have a fast and effective solution!

Panic attacks are sudden periods of intense anxiety, increasing physiological arousal, fear, stomach problems (such as diarrhea or spastic colon) and discomfort that are associated with a variety of somatic and cognitive symptoms.
The onset of these episodes is typically abrupt, and may have no obvious triggers. Although these episodes may appear random, they are a subset of an evolutionary response commonly referred to as ‘fight or flight’ that occur out of context. This response floods the body with hormones, particularly epinephrine (adrenaline), that aid in defending itself from harm.
Our integrated approach using
Biofeedback and
Homeopathy is very effective for this condition. Please

PMS is a collection of physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms related to a woman's menstrual cycle. Such symptoms are usually predictable and occur regularly during the two weeks prior to menstruation. The symptoms may vanish after the menstrual flow starts, but may continue even after the flow has begun. For some women with PMS, the symptoms are so severe that they are considered disabling.
Homeopathy offers a very effective treatment for PMS and we have helped many women with this problem.

Conventional doctors treat sinus infections (sinusitis) with drugs. Whether acute or chronic, these infections cause great misery: pain, headache, congestion, obstructed breathing, and so on. Sinusitis affects the eight facial cavities around the nose - those above the eyes, between the eyes, behind the nose, on either side of the top of the nose, and beneath the eyes in the cheek area. These cavities can get clogged with mucus and become infected, resulting in much discomfort. Homeopathy has a proven track record in the treatment of sinusitis. Iridology assessment provides additional information regarding constitution and steps that need to be taken to avoid recurrence of this problem.

Stress is the most incipient killer of people today. Stress is responsible for 70 to 80 percent of the disease in developed nations. This is an astounding figure. Stress reduction is a must in today's society for longevity, health and happiness. Our
Biofeedback techniques are extremely effective in the treatment of stress and stress-related disorders.
Below are some simple rules for fighting this unseen killer.
- Stress awareness begins with recognition or awareness. Our stress inventory provides insight into the amount of stress in our lives. As we become aware of stress, we can begin to deal with it. The "ostrich" technique (hiding) of stress reduction never works, neither does running away.
- Humans resist change. Whether change occurs in the body, mind, social, spirit or environment, most humans will resist. To learn to relax, we must learn to break our old habits of stress reaction and substitute more productive reactions such as clear thinking, calm headed and relaxed understanding. To change requires perseverance, positivity, proper goals and beneficial rewards. Whether changing eating habits, exercise routines, stress reactions or social skills, change requires work, but the rewards of a healthy body and mind for you and your family are worth it.
- Stop addictive behavior. Whether it is coffee, soda, sugar, heroin, cocaine, alcohol, etc. an addiction is an addiction. Addiction to stimulants will always rob health and always cause disease. If you care for your children, you would fight to stop them from using heroin.
- But so often we let them indulge in potato chips, candy bars, tobacco, etc. The seeds of addictive behavior stem from "stimulation dependency" in our youth. If we are to truly conquer drugs, then we must stop addiction to stimulation or depression early in life. To stop addiction break it's bond as early as possible. Just say no, if you really care.
- Relax after meals. Allow at least 30 minutes after a meal to relax with comfortable music (not hard rock and roll), good spiritual books (not tax literature), good conversation (not argumentation), or some other relaxing diversion. Do not lie down. Sitting, standing or a light walk is recommended. Let your body focus on digestion for the best effect.
- Allow one to two hours for worry or think time per day. Make this quality think time to completely analyze your problems and concerns. Any more than 2 hours a day and your mind will distort the problem and not produce a solution. Excessive worry will produce more problems and more worry until this violent spiral results in disease. Use your quality think time to develop quality solutions you can act on to really help you solve your problems and concerns.
When managing stress it is important to implement effective strategies to cope. We combine a holistic, natural approach with psychology to ensure an effective outcome, without drugs.
