I hope you and your family are great.
Just a quick note here to remind you I will be away after Saturday until the 2nd October. Many of you will not need to see me until then however If you run out of your herbal tonic while I am away simply increase your Juice Plus+ to 3+3 and call me on Tuesday the 2nd.
This is a lovely time of the year, so get out and enjoy it. I am off to site by a pool and get re-charged for the next 12 months.
I am excited to have launched our new web site today.
visit www.herbfactory.com.au
you will need to become a member.
This is partly because of the government regulation on CAM therapists which states that we are not allowed to talk to the public. As a member you can access all the information I would give you if you came in to see me.
Membership is free and allows us - you and me to have a secure way of communicating to each other.
You can feel safe doing your orders on the web site as it is secured by ssl software. You will notice the message "secure & non secure pages" click yes, we cannot figure out how to get rid of it just yet - we do not want to compromise security over an annoying little pop-up.
I am the only person who can see your details, emails and purchases. You can delete any purchase you may have made accidentally, just follow the prompts in the Cart.
Your credit card payment will not be processed until we have your order ready for posting and again I am the only person who will process your payment. We do not keep your credit card details at all. Once your order has been processed your card information is deleted so you will need to re-enter it with every transaction.
If you pay by PayPal your payment is drawn by them immediately.
Please have a good look around.
I have started with putting herbal research notes in the section RECENT RESEARCH
This section has much more to come over the next few months and I have tried summarizing the research for you. Mostly the one's done to date are because many people are confused about herb-drug interactions. In this section it is vital to understand the difference between doing research in a test tube, an animal, research done using ridiculously high and inappropriate doses or actual clinical research done in a proper and responsible fashion so as to improve the health of a person.
All research totally excludes thousands of years of knowledge on herbal practice.
Our health information on conditions is in the TREATMENTS section. Again I have started with some of the most common conditions and like the research section I have a lot to add to this section. Check back for these updates.
Also I have included my SEASONAL DIETS for free so you may download them when you want them.
If you have any great recipes I would love to include them in our recipes page. This page is in no way complete yet and we will be adding many more over the next few months.
In the DIAGNOSIS section you can take our online health appraisal, many of you have not had a follow up in quite some time. You can now sit at home and do the questionaire which take around 20 minute to complete. Many of you have told me you do not have to time to get in to see me for your followup, so we thought we would make it easy for you. You can have a look for free, however if you actually want me to assess it you need to go to the FORMULAS section and purchase it at only $45.00 much cheaper than a full $95.00 appointment. If you have not had your follow up pathology yet this could be a good time to do it. Oh and ladies I'm sure it is time for your PAP smear -- stop putting it off. And you Gents have you had your PSA done in the last 2 years. You can email copies to me or when I am back and the fax is on you can fax them to me. If you would prefer a consult I'm here and only too happy to help, just call me for an appointment.
We decided to add a shopping cart for you as many of you only ever take the one tonic and do not know what else we have to offer. Many of you who take our tonics regularly, do not even live in Perth and have not been into the clinic. This is why we have included the home page video to show you how we make them for you. Of course, all the tonics are hand made using the finest quality theraputic - which means grown in the right soil conditions and picked at the right time for each herb, and the best certified organic herbs available.
You will notice that some of the brochures are not complete, please be patient with us.
At this stage we have 20 of our most popular Tonics in the cart and soon we will have around 40 different Tonics.
If you are a regular user of a tonic and would like to write a review simply click on the "details" of the tonic you love and at the bottom of the page you will see REVIEWS we would love you to add yours. Please keep the language child and grandma friendly as it goes straight onto the web site.
