Some people are going to disagree with me and what I write here but others are possibly going to agree and that is Naturopathy as we know it today is fast approaching the “Conventional” medicine it seeks to compete with. Naturopaths are basically becoming well informed sales people for various “Nutraceutical” companies that are refining and isolating “Active” ingredients of foods and herbs to the point where they are more or less a natural doctor over prescribing like a conventional one. They being forced to study for long periods, over 4 years in some cases to administer simple remedies. Is it any wonder the “Pharmaceutical companies” are trying to eliminate them from the market place??Don’t get me wrong, I think pharmaceuticals are well and truly over prescribed. They are great for life threatening or acute situations but that is it! Naturopaths now are ending up in practice in health food shops and pharmacies (strange how this has occured??) giving short consults and prescribing loads of very expensive supplements and herbal tonics. If Naturopaths are not careful we will end up being seen as Doctors of conventional medicine are seen now! We need to remeber the basic premise of Naturopathy, treat the whole person, look for the SOURCE of the problem. You can not do this in ten minutes with a truck load of supplements or Nutraceuticals. Again don’t get me wrong, I use nutraceuticals, but only when needed and for as shorter time as possible.

So how to change this trend then? I believe I may just have an answer! Bio-Energetic Medicine. This is what Homeopathy, Flower Essences, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture/pressure and many others are based around. The theory, now proven by the science of quantum physics, that we are surrounded and pervaded by a energetic system that governs all virtual information transfer around the body, the body’s internet if you like or the aura and meridian system. This energy field is intelligent, adaptable, correctable and reponsible for delivering the instructions to the atomic and sub-atomic particles of each and every cell in the body, yes it goes beyond biochemistry! Without it, the chemistry of the body would not know what to do.How do I know this? I am a practitioner of N.E.S. - NutriEnergetics Systems. This is the absolute cutting edge in Natural healthcare today in my professional opinion. This system has been developed by Peter Fraser and Harry Massey. Peter Fraser is a Traditional Chinese Medicine expert and quantum physicist, Harry Massey is an MBA and entrepreneur among other things. These two gentlemen have revolutionised Naturopathy for all time. For the first time we are able to see a reading of the human body-field and all it’s areas. We can see where to work to correct it and because of Peter Fraser’s development of accurate remedies called ‘Infoceuticals” we can correct these areas with drops. These infoceuticals are like nothing else available. In my short time as a practitioner of NES I have seen EVERY single client I have worked with respond in a more than positive manner. I am astounded daily by what sorts of recoveries etc this can produce.

NES does this simply because it goes beyond biochemistry to what governs biochemistry, the hunam energy field and this can no longer be touted as poppycock by blinkered skeptics. The infoceutical preparations are specially formulated and encoded with information correlated to specific aspects of the body-field. They are fully compatible with herbs, supplements, pharmaceuticals or other remedies you may be taking. This is what I call TRUE NATUROPATHY! I have seen the need for me to use nutraceuticals and herbal tonic deminish considerably as the infoceuticals and the body do the work far more effectively. I use nutraceuticals only when they are indicated via the scan and I am able to use an infoceutical preparation to enable me to ensure the nutrient needed is in fact absorbed unlike current methods used in Naturopathy where high doses are used to ensure uptake except this is a waste of time as we see most of the nutrient expelled via the urine as the body is not getting the information need to uptake that nutrient. This only adds to the pressure on eliminatory organs and costs the client lots of money!NES in my experience in using it, has ended this with my clients. There is no waste. No uneeded nutrients. No uneeded expense. But this is only one advantage of this system, there are numerous advantages to using it. Compliance is always a problem with herbal tonics etc, the drops are easy to take, and taste like water! Who can’t take that! They produce results, real feelable, noticable results in a relatively short space of time, unlike traditional approaches with Naturopathy that can take years! The diagnostic reading of this device is so far reaching I rarely if ever anymore, use any other type of diagnosis or approach to treatment. I have all but done away with herbal medicines and only use a select few nutraceuticals in certain occassions. This saves me money on my dispensary. I can see the cause of someone’s symptomology more accurately through this devide than any lab test could give me and that is because blood tests will often reveal a normal amount of a certain nutrient etc but it doesn’t explain why it isn’t being uptaken, NES does that and what’s more it gives me the tools to correct that with or at least allow the clients body to correct that with.

I have had clients leaving well known local Naturopaths who have had good reputations for results and come to me because this system achieves better results than these other practitioners can get using “old” methods.  I firmly believe that your clients wiilingness to refer people to you is testament to your ability to help them, I do ZERO advertising! All my clients are word of mouth referals.Why do I think this is the future of Naturopathy? Simple. It works, it treats the whole person, it overcomes the common problems of current treatment protocols, it bypasses the problem of regulatory bodies as the preparations are not seen as in any way dangerous, the infoceuticals do not interact in any way with other medicines of any kind, the diagnostic device is so very accurate, your training is second to none, it corrects at the deepest possible level and creates or recreates a stronger organism, it is very cost effective by comparison to current treatment protocols, less or in some cases no need for extra medicines and the list goes on. I believe strongly that this is the way forward as Naturopathy as I stated in the beginning is in real danger of being seen as just another rip off like conventioanl medicine is and I think this has happened because Naturopathy and natural medicine has been trying to prove it’s scientific worth to the convetional blinkered mob so as to establish itself as a legitimate method of treatment. Unfortunately natural medicine and naturopathy lost sight of it’s primary aim and what it is really about along the way. Well, here is a scientifically proven way to both show our true worth as a treatment methodology and to adhere to our most basic philosophy, treat the whole person, what could be more whole than this? I was so impressed with NES when I first saw it that I changed my course of study toward gearing myself tobe able to make full use of this system when I could obtain it. I stopped studying conventional naturopathy and instead completed a Diploma of Health Science and now have completed a Bachelor of Science in Health Science. I have also obtained Diplomas in Herbal Medicine, Reflexology, Counselling, Vibrational Healing. I hold certificates in Meridian Psychotherapy and of course my NES Practitioner Certification. I made sure I had a good understanding of nutrition, body systems, the action of herbs in therapeutic uses, naturopathic protocols and energetic medicine principals so once I studied NES I could bring all this together to create a full and useful plethora of knowledge for the implementation of this brilliant system. It took me longer to finish, but it is worth it now as I have made myself stand out from the crowd. I am still qualified but what I do goes beyond Naturopathy and I think pesonally after reflecting upon my previous course that the current naturopathy training is old and needs to incorporate this technology ASAP! Those that don’t WILL be left behind.

As always state and government regulatory bodies are slow to recognise anything good so don’t expect to get any “Official” regonition for NES and this is why it is mostly recommended to existing natural health professionals as there are aspects that only a pro will be able to deal with and your NES training informs you well of these. Nevertheless, both the NES software and the NES hand held device have been successfully registered on the ARTG in the Devices section.I will conclude with strongly suggesting that the reader visit the NutriEnergetics website here http://www.nutrienergetics.com for further information on the system and so on. I would also reccomend to the reader to seek out practitioners of this system if you want to really get some healing happening and to be very aware that pharmacies and some health food shops are all about selling products!

Yours in good health.Craig Hitchens. B.HSc. Naturopath and NES BioEnergetic Medicine Practitioner.
