Canberra Specialist Natural Medicine Centre

At the Centre, Diane London applies a scientific, holistic, traditional and evidence-based clinical approach to her patient's health problems to help provide long-term optimal health. This approach entails a detailed health assessment to uncover the underlying causes of the individual's health problems. The health assessment includes the taking of a detailed analysis of current and past symptoms, history of genetic health pre-dispositions, medications and physical assessment. It includes an examination of the efficiency of the digestive, hormonal, immune, respiratory, musculoskeletal, glandular, skin, urinary, reproductive, nervous, circulatory, emotional and detoxification body systems. Specialised health programs are customized for the following health conditions:

•Poor detoxification - including poor detoxification/ elimination of the liver, bowel, kidney, circulatory, skin and lymphatic systems

•Poor immunity - recurrent bacterial and viral infections, allergies, sensitivities

•Mood disorders, attention deficit disorder, depression, insomnia, stress and anxiety

•Weight problems - weight gain/weight loss

•Cancer

•Autoimmune disorders

•Chronic fatigue syndrome

•Gastrointestinal problems - irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, bloating

•Kidney and bladder problems - cystitis, kidney stones

•Liver and gallbladder problems - gallstones, inefficient detoxification

•Skin problems - eczema, psoriasis, acne, pruritis, dermatitis

•Cardiovascular/circulatory problems - high blood pressure, high levels of 'bad' cholesterol

•Endocrine disorders - thyroid and adrenals

•Pancreatic disorders - diabetes, low blood sugar

•Musculoskeletal problems - arthritis, rheumatism

•Reproductive system problems - Period pain, irregular periods, pre-menstrual syndrome

•Pain management

Based on the outcomes of the health assessment, Diane develops a health plan to provide a clear path to help achieve the individual's optimal health and vitality. This will involve appropriate lifestyle, nutritional/dietary changes, medical herbalism and supplementation tailored specifically for the individual. Diane's role is also to be a lifestyle and nutritional trainer to empower the individual to help achieve their optimal health. Diane also focuses on preventative medicine to protect the patient's health as well as to heal existing health conditions. Consultations are rebateable by most private health funds.
