Burnout. Highwood's Approach.

Testimonial: Here is a testimonial from Ian who had a form of fibromyalgia aggravated by sleeping tablet abuse (with original spelling): "the opportunity to get off Stillnox and Prophriaden since last Autumn with 99% improvement in health. Would be even prepared to be interviewed on Current Affair etc about the dangers of sleeping tablets...All my horrific symptoms gone except double vision which is improving and clearing up every day."

Here is testimonial from Robyn who had CFS (unedited): "I have just completed my second visit to Highwood and after 15 years of severe fatigue and many Doctors and Naturopaths, my fatigue is very mild now, my digestion is returning to normal, my aches an pains are minimal. The health lectures and cooking demonstrations have helped me cater for all my food sensitivities, which has renewed my interest in and love of food and eating.

"The staff are all so caring., the surrounds at Highwood are beautiful, it is easy to relax and feel comfortable, and meet many lovely people. It is here at Highwood also, that the word of God has been shown to me which is the greatest blessing, so Highwood will always have a special place in my heart." (opportunities for "spiritual focus" are an optional part of the programme).

Details of Treatment: This consists in detailed consultations with Dr. Bird who has a special interest in this subject and who has been running a CFS clinic since 1999 (see www.burnoutsolutions.com.au ). Dr. Bird does two whole lectures focussed especially on this subject. Treatments at Highwood will depend on possible causes. For example if bug problems are an issue then fever baths may be recommended. If poisons are an issue the clay wraps and sauna therapy will be a focus. If dental issues surface then a dental x-ray evaluation and referral may be necessary.
