All seemed well at first. Dr Benedict Devereaux has an office in the Holy Spirit Northside Hospital in Chermside, QLD. He examined my daughter, said she needed a medical procedure that could be done right there at the hospital the following week. The only downside, he said was that the hospital was a private hospital and so it would cost us over $1,000 to have the treatment done.

But I said I would pay it because my daughter was ill and I didn’t want to wait several more weeks.

Dr Benedict Devereaux said that the procedure would be simple, could be done as an outpatient in just a day and he would take a couple of biopsies as well, just as a precaution.

I felt confident about the whole thing. But I shouldn’t have been because Dr Benedict Devereaux and his staff weren’t being honest with me. And I’ll explain why.

I went back out to the reception area, paid for the consultation, and then the receptionist began to explain to me that because it was a private hospital we were in, I would have to go next door where the admissions waiting room was and pay the money directly to them there on admission. She said the cost would be $1,150. Yeeouch!

I then asked if there would be anything else to pay for and she said yes. I would have to pay the anaesthetist separately, which I later found out would be $300.

I asked if that was all the charges there would be. She said yes, unless something unexpected happened during the medical procedure, that would be all.

I then went home thinking that I knew everything I had to pay for.

On the day of the procedure, we admitted our daughter, paid the $1,150, she had her procedure and we went home.

A few days later we received the $300 bill for the anaesthetist and we paid it. After that, all our medical expenses were paid in full. Right?

Wrong!

It seemed that Dr Benedict Devereaux and his staff had lied.

A week later we received a bill for nearly $200 from a pathology lab that had tested the biopsies that Dr Benedict Devereaux had taken. I was surprised and angry that this fee wasn’t disclosed to us. How deceitful. But I paid it anyway.

But that wasn’t the only hidden fee…

The following week I received a bill from the hospital for almost $600. I rang and asked why. Hadn’t I already paid the $1,150 on admission?

Oh yes, I was told. But that was only for the use of the hospital rooms and equipment. This extra $600 was the fee for Dr Benedict Devereaux. I argued that the medical procedure was paid for as part of the $1,150.

Oh no, I was told. Dr Benedict Devereaux has a private practice within the hospital, but he doesn’t work for the hospital. He bills the hospital, they bill me.

So I rang Dr Benedict Devereaux’s private practice (within the Holy Spirit Northside Hospital) and asked why this hidden charge wasn’t told to me at the time of consultation when I asked explicitly what fees I would have to pay.

Well, the haughty-sounding woman told me, I should have realised that Dr Benedict Devereaux runs a private practice and therefore I should have known that I would be billed separately to the hospital that he works in.

OMG!!!!

I feel so angry and ripped off.

When I first went to see Dr Benedict Devereaux and his staff and asked how much it would cost for my daughter to have the medical procedure done, I expected them to tell me how much it would cost for my daughter to have the medical procedure done. But they didn’t.

Apparently the medical procedure was going to cost nearly $600.

Did anyone mention this fee at the time of consultation?

Not at all. They kept it quiet, knowing that with that fee included, it more than doubled the $1,150 that they told me about.

Do I trust Dr Benedict Devereaux? Not at all.

Would I ever go back and consult with him again? Never.

Would I recommend anyone else consults with Dr Benedict Devereaux? Absolutely not.

And the really ironic thing is…Holy Spirit Northside Hospital at Rode Road Chermside, describe themselves as a “Catholic not-for-profit” hospital.

If they are not-for-profit then why do I feel so cheated and ripped off?

When I first went to see Dr Benedict Devereaux, he said my daughter needed to have a medical procedure done. I asked how much it would cost.

I know now that it was going to cost nearly $600.

But he never mentioned that cost. Not once. Nor the cost of the biopsies he said he might do.

During a hypnotherapy session, patients are asked to assume an appropriate position while a practitioner begins to speak in a soothing tone. The therapist coaxes the individual into a state of relaxation; the patient is awake, but her or his awareness continues to be centered on the voice of the practitioner. The therapist will be able to make suggestions regarding healthy eating and workout habits the patient can follow thereafter every day.

Patients may not be fully aware of what else is going on around them in a hypnotherapy session. Instead, these are highly aimed at which spoken by the therapist. This intense concentration forces the individual to fully hear and see the benefits and implications of healthy habits.

Hypnosis weight loss typically requires several sessions, each having a different focus for the patient. After the subject has completed a program, hypnosis for weight reduction really should not be required in the future. The information impressed upon the sufferer is supposed to permanently alter the way his or her mind acknowledges nutrition and health; healthy habits become ingrained and automatic. Some clinics even offer free sessions if the patient actually starts to put on more importance.

Testimonials have varied in relation to hypnosis weight-loss success. However, practitioners are largely unregulated, so attention must be paid to the reputability of individual therapists. Hypnotherapy is commonly recommended only for healthy adults who have tried diet and exercise, but who have difficulty with motivation and have been struggling to follow through with a particular plan. Interested individuals should consult a physician before attempting any losing weight regimen.

A skin yeast infection can be treated with over the counter products, by an anti-fungal drug prescribed by a doctor or by natural means. Before you choose a treatment method you really should have your doctor take a look at it though. The symptoms, which include, redness, itching, rash, scaling, flaking and soreness, could also be attributed to other conditions and you need to be sure of what you have before a treatment can be effective.

It is rare for more serious symptoms to occur with a skin yeast infection, but if vomiting, fever or discharge are also present you should see a doctor straight away. It is possible these signs are something else more serious like appendicitis or kidney problems.

If it’s a mouth yeast infection this is also called Thrush. Other places it may happen include under arms, in skin folds, under a breast.

Looking for a treatment for a yeast infection? That’s our specialty! Just visit us to find out what to expect from a candida cleanse

The cause of a yeast infection whatever form it takes, is an overgrowth of a fungus that lives on most of us in small numbers already. Candida is a group of fungi in which there are several pathogenic species, Candida albicans being the main one. Symptoms range in severity between sufferers and respond differently to different treatments.

It is usually an external trigger that causes most forms of yeast infections. A diet high in sugar, clothing that is too tight or too many synthetic materials, not drying properly, even the soap or products you use are all factors. There are also environmental factors such as climate, and medications, such as steroids and antibiotics.

Itching, burning, discomfort or even pain during sex, a white and thick discharge, a yeasty odor or no unusual smell, swelling, redness, discomfort are all common yeast infection symptoms. These are also symptoms of other infections though so be sure to confirm diagnosis with a doctor. Also make sure you use a condom or steer clear of sex until treatment is completed, as though it doesn’t happen often, a yeast infection while not an STD can be passed between partners during sex.

If your condition is severe your doctor may want to prescribe an anti-fungal treatment for you, but there are natural yeast infection treatment options that can be very effective for some cases. They are easy, affordable and unlike drugs are free of unwanted side effects. You also avoid building up a tolerance to medicated treatments. Make sure to identify what triggered your yeast infection in the first place so that you can avoid a re-occurrence.

After recently reading “The China Study” my eyes have been opened, more than ever, to the dangers of poor health through diet.

Eating the wrong foods (anything saturated with fat, dairy and meat) or more importantly, not eating the right foods can not only affect your physical health, but can also impair your mental health.

Too many artifical colours and sugars can make kids hyperactive. Too many fatty foods can clog your arteries and lead to a heart attack. Lack of fruits and vegetables in your diet can lead to a vitamin B12 deficiency which can impair brain function and cause depression, mood swings, bouts of crying and lethargy (and in severe cases of vitamin B12 definiency, suicide).

This is why you should never take heathy eating lightly.

In an amazing article Courtney Carver gave a frank account of how she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and then beat it through living a less stressed existence and becoming vegetarian. She began by giving up always wanting more, discovered that her health and family were far more important to her than “stuff” and she radically changed her diet.

The result was that her MS symptoms went away. And now she is happier than she ever has been before.

Don’t wait for a wake up call such as being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Change your eating habits now before it’s too late.

Be sure to understand that your health and your happiness are far more important than eating steaks and pizzas every day.

Cut down on all excesses in your life including over-working, over-eating and too much debt. All these things lead to stress which will, in the end, kill you.

I’m sorry if this information seems to blunt, but you need to wake up and realise that you really are what you eat.

Take a look in the mirror right now, and if you’re not happy with what you see, make a firm decision to change the way you eat AND the way that your family eats.

Get a copy of “The China Study” from your local library and read it cover-to-cover. It really is an eye-opening book.

You MUST get rid of your cellulite. Start today. Your cellulite is just another symptom of your stagnant, toxic, fat-laden diet and life.

The time for change is right now.

Ever thought of joining a gym? Then why didn’t you? Why don’t you join right this minute?

And then take all the bad food out of your fridge, your freezer and your pantry and replace it with the best organic wholefoods you can find.

I guarantee that lifestyle changes like these will improve your body, your mind and your life.

When you’re looking for natural ways to get rid of cellulite, there’s none that’s as gentle as using herbs. Different herbs can be used in different ways. Some herbs can be made into a tea and drank, eaten or applied to directly to the cellulite areas.

You can start using herbs simply by using them to flavour your food. Try cumin, sage, fennel and thyme in your cooking.

Some other great uses for herbs are as follows:

Grape seed extract is an antioxidant and helps to maintain the elasticity of the blood vessels. It also improves circulation in the legs thereby preventing cellulite developing in the first place.

Ginkgo biloba boosts circulation, acts as an antioxidant and reduces the formation of cholesterol which helps blood circulation.

Seaweed is high in iodine which boosts the body’s metabolism and helps to burn more calories. It also prevents fluid retention and is often used in cellulite treatment as body wraps. You can always eat it like the Japanese do by cooking it and wrapping it around cooked rice. In Wales the Welsh also use seaweed to make laver bread which looks a bit like solid spinach puree and is served with breakfast.

Green tea is a plant extract that has antioxidant and blood thinning effects.

Dandelion leaves are good for increasing the liver’s ability to break down waste products and toxins. It also aids the kidneys. Dandelion leaves can be added to salads, cooked like spinach or drank as a herbal tea.

Horse chestnut has anti-inflammatory properties and also helps to improve blood circulation. It is a valuable ingredient in anti-cellulite creams and other cellulite products.

Evening primrose oil, lemon, and strawberry are some of the herbs used to reduce cellulite and improve the skin texture in the affected areas. They should be rubbed in the affected areas 3 or 4 times daily.

And when it comes to diet, eat more fat burning foods that are full of iodine such as bananas, grapes, garlic, spinach, mushrooms, egg yolks and brown rice.

All together the above list of herbs and foods can give your body a really natural cellulite treatment, both inside and out.

All over the world there are millions of people taking regular medication for ad circulation.

But at the same time there are millions of other people suffering from bad circulation but they don’t know it – until it’s too late.

Quite often, people feel the symptoms of bad circulation but they ignore it, thinking that it’s nothing much and that it’s certainly not serious enough to see a doctor about.

We all know that an unhealthy and stagnant lifestyle can lead to fatty deposits collecting under the skin and causing cellulite. But did you also know that these same fatty deposits can accumulate on the inner linings of the artery wall? These same fatty deposits can also accumulate in the arteries of the kidneys, arms, hands legs and feet.

Some of the most common symptoms of bad circulation are legs and feet falling asleep, buttock cramps, swelling of the legs, leg cramps, aching or tired feet, low temperatures in the hands or feet.

Bad circulation is a very serious condition that can result in heart attacks, loss of limbs, stroke and in many cases, death.

However it’s not all bad news. I f discovered early enough, bad circulation can be treated or prevented with improved lifestyle changes.

If you stop smoking, lower your alcohol intake and eat less fast foods and fatty foods, this can greatly improve circulation, lower your risk of diabetes and make you feel more energetic and happy.

Getting enough exercise is also a crucial factor in allowing your blood to circulate properly.

If you don’t fancy working out at the gym every day, try taking up something you enjoy such as badminton, karate, dancing or swimming.

Just make sure you look after yourself.

Keep active, eat well and live a long life.
