rthritis isn’t just an inevitable part of getting older, and it is possible to manage the condition. Arthritis New Zealand has two arthritis educators servicing the Canterbury region and offers a variety of clinics, workshops, seminars and courses to teach people about the condition and help them to live well with it. “Our job is to give people the information they need to become great self-managers,” says arthritis educator Louise Sheppard.
Arthritis New Zealand’s services range in length from one-hour group clinics through to six-week long ‘Living a Healthy Life’ courses. Most events are supported by the Canterbury DHB, so there is no cost to attend. Detailed information on events in the next month is available by phoning 0800 663 463 or visiting www.arthritis.org.nz.

ulie Stacey is a qualified naturopath and medical herbalist working together with the team at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy to offer solutions for your health issues and concerns. Marshall’s stock a comprehensive herbal dispensary and also offer private and confidential consultations from their dedicated clinic room, where Julie can discuss and formulate a realistic wellbeing plan to suit your lifestyle and budget. As an ex-chef, Julie has a strong focus on “food as medicine” and recognises that vital force has been taken out of our food through refining, processing and additives in our food. When we add stress and suppressed emotions to the equation, our body has difficulty keeping in balance. As a result, many of us have become unwittingly malnourished. There is an undeniable link
between our diet, lifestyle, environment and dysfunction in our bodies. We are what we eat, but just as important, we are what we think, feel and speak. Julie relates, “Through clinical experience, 95 per cent of cases with dysfunction in our bodies, there is an emotional element which also needs to be addressed.” Julie works with the individual through various techniques of mind, body and vibrational medicine. She uses various tools to suit the individual, including the basic principles of traditional Chinese medicine in addition to kinesiology (muscle testing), meridian clearing, chakra balancing, neurolinguistic programming and emotional release techniques to support the person’s walk back to health and wellbeing.

• Vitamin C, citrus bioflavonoids, betacarotene (pro-vitamin A) and copper have potent antioxidant ability and help protect the eyes from damage. • Lutein and zeaxanthin may even help reverse some of the signs of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). • Bilberry and blackcurrant may help protect the lens and retina from damage, reduce the risk of cataracts and help improve blood supply to the eye, strengthen the small capillaries of the eye, help improve night vision and alleviate many eye ailments. • Eyebright may help normalise eye pressure and reduce eye allergies.
• Taurine is an amino acid that is essential for correct eye function. • Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue and maintain good vision. • Yumberry is rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) that may protect eyesight. These nutrients, taken in a therapeutic amount, should provide comprehensive eye protection, may slow and possibly even help reverse eye damage that could lead to loss of vision. All these nutrients are available in an economical one-a-day easyto-swallow capsule. Contact Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy at 388 5757.
