Every day we are exposed to noise that can contribute to hearing loss. The risk of damaging your hearing increases with the sound intensity, not the loudness of the sound, which is measured in decibels (dB). Examples of everyday activities, and their corresponding decibel levels:
• Normal conversation – 60 dB
• City traffic (from inside car)-80-85 dB
• Listening to music on your smartphone, especially at maximum volume-105–110 dB
• Standing beside/near sirens-120 dB
Noise above 85 dB over a prolonged period may start to damage your hearing. Learn how to protect your hearing health!

Health clinics worldwide are using hyperbaric oxygen to supplement cancer therapy. Recent studies have shown that HBOT in combination with the ketogenic diet increases mean survival time in mice models by up to 75%. This works by starving cancer cells of their main energy source, glucose, and introducing a high oxygen environment. When combined with current conventional treatments, results have been very promising. HBOT is also effective post radiation to prevent bone loss and small vessel damage. Prevention and a healthy lifestyle of consistent exercise, good nutrition, sleep, community involvement and HBOT contributes to improved health outcomes.

Spider Vein Therapy
Now is a great time to focus on getting your legs clear for Summer! Small, unsightly, spidery blue leg veins respond well to treatment in experienced hands. Laser therapy can be used, but can be painful and expensive, and also less effective than sclerotherapy. With sclerotherapy a very fine, barely felt needle introduces a sterile non-allergic blend of saline, and dextrose into these tiny blue veins. This irritates the vein lining, causing it to swell and reroute blood through healthier veins. Typically spider veins respond in 3-4 weeks. Book a consultation with a Specialist, for your best look this Summer!

Your own favourite upbeat playlist can not only lift your spirits, but it can enhance your senses so that your recall for facts, figures and important detail is engaged.

While traditional healthcare has primarily focused on physiology, we are now seeing that energy and information control biology. In fact, frontier science proves that there is a regulating field of energy and information that operates in the physical body at the subcellular level. At NES Health, they call this the Human Body-Field (HBF), and they have researched its functions and structures for more than 30 years. In that time, they have discovered that the root causes of physical problems are distortions and blockages in the body-field, which serves as a master control system for all physiological function.
