Hororata — ‘The bend in the road’ is turning the corner
Nutritional therapy in action
After several months of consultation meetings and much informal debate the Hororata community is fine tuning its bucket list with ambitious dreams for the post earthquake future of the township.
Today we will look at an example of how one person has improved his health by adopting nutritional medicine principles.
At a second consultation meeting held in What if …? July Hororata Community Trust Chairman, What if …? Richard Lang and architect Ashley Hide challenged the community to ‘grow or die’ St John’s Church and encouraged those present to initiate a New Convention Centre development plan for the future. Top of the community’s wish list was the New Recreation/ proposal to create a new recreational lake Storage Lake in the domain. New Green Sports Field HCT member, Olive Webb had discussed New Multi Purpose the issue with Central Plains Water. Community Centre “It would be a win–win for both parties Option 1 if we could provide CPW with the land for a Option 2 storage lake and in return the community New Hard Surface Sports Courts could gain a wonderful recreational facility,” Early Childhood Centre/ Webb says. Information Centre “We accept there is a conflict of interest New Tavern between recreational use and CPW’s priority for water storage and irrigation in the summer months, but CPW and the HCT will continue Dreams in action. Architect Ashley Hide’s sketch plan of the Hororata community’s wish list for the future development of talking in the hope of finding a possible the township compromise.” The future of the Hororata hall and St John’s sporting facilities, including skating on the small Church were also considered high priority and domain lake, are also on the agenda. The third ‘Have Your Say’ consultation meeting finding a permanent base for preschool facilities, the desire for a pub, and the improvement of is scheduled for Tuesday, September 3.

This man, an orchardist in his 50s spoke to me 6 months ago with several problems. He was under good medical care and on various medications to control his symptoms. His main problems were joint pain from arthritis, lower body muscle pain and low energy. His poor mobility was having a great impact on the quality of his life. After a full analysis we made sure his diet was nutrient dense and especially targeted potent dietary antioxidants including dark berries. We actively reduced refined carbohydrates and sugars as these all push the body towards inflammation. Additionally these foods are essentially ‘empty calories’ in that while they provide energy, they do not provide the vitamins and minerals needed to make energy. We then started an intensive 3 months of supplements where we added solid doses of Omega 3 fish oil, a broad spectrum multi vitamin/mineral/antioxidant. To this we added a complex formula designed to restore his energy processes. He had been taking cholesterol medications for some time and these are known to cause muscle pain and low energy mostly because they prevent the liver from making sufficient ubiquinone, also known as co enzyme Q10 (CoQ10). This complex included CoQ10, a B vitamin complex then a combination of anti-inflammatory agents including turmeric extract, resveratrol and OPC. He started to notice a change within a few months. The muscle pain has almost completely gone, his joints less painful and he has had a return of his energy. A real bonus has been a reduction in tinnitus and improvements in a cataract. There was no magic in what we did. This was just a combination of personal commitment on his part and for mine making sure his nutrient intake allowed his damaged body systems to heal resulting in a substantial improvement in his health. Give the body what it needs and the results can be quite surprising. Feel free to contact me for personalised advice.

• Pathways Springfield Cafe owners Don and Karyn Cullingford enjoy the taste of success
“I was very surprised and really pleased with myself,” says Karyn, who works six days a week making the pies for their cafe. “Karyn’s got a good palate for pies,” adds Don. The silver medal pie was an Alpine Pork, apple with sage, part of their Alpine Gourmet Pies range. Don says the key to their culinary success is the use of good local ingredients. “A local farmer traps the wild pig on a station in the alpine area and a local butcher prepares it,” says Don. It was the second year that the couple had entered the pie contest, having placed fifth last year with their lamb, kumara and rosemary pie. The couple has owned the Springfield Cafe for three and a half years and say owning their own business gives them a passion to produce perfect pies. “You just wouldn’t have the passion to make award winning pies if you didn’t work for yourself,” says Karyn.
