 The
aim of this site is to provide an insight into the work we do at Arc
Healthcare and to introduce ourselves to you.
Arc Healthcare is a Natural Medicines Practice dedicated to providing
the best quality holistic care embracing a wide-range of natural therapies
aimed at empowering you, the client, to make the best possible health
choices. Whilst recognising the holistic framework of health and disease,
it is also vital to have an appreciation of the biochemical
and physiological functioning of the body, and to approach health and the treatment of disease in a scientific way. Specialised laboratory tests can be arranged to measure how efficiently your body is functioning. These tests are more sensitive than many currently available from your doctor, which are merely designed to diagnose disease. For example, many people today suffer from liver congestion but do not have liver disease; or have low levels of thyroid hormones that are undetected by the standard blood test for TSH and T4; or have blood sugar imbalances but have not developed diabetes. Disease only develops after many years of impaired function, and preventative medicine, which empowers you to take control of your health, can help you overcome any genetic tendencies that may run in your family..
Today we see many health problems unknown a hundred years ago, which are a direct result of radical changes in our diets and exposure to environmental toxins, including metals, organophosphates and electromagnetic radiation. Naturopaths have always been aware of the connection between toxicity and disease, and never before have there been so many diseases linked to toxicity.
Holistic medicine addresses mental, emotional, physiological, biochemical and structural imbalances drawing from a range of treatment modalities such as naturopathy, clinical nutrition, counselling, homoeopathic medicine, flower essences and kinesiology.
