WHAT ARE PHOBIAS?
I t i s perfect ly normal for a l l human beings to exper ience anxiety and
phobias at var ious t imes in their l i fe . A certa in amount of anxiety and
phobias is heal thy and performs a va luable funct ion; enabl ing us to develop
l i fe sk i l l s and learn how to stay safe , grow and bui ld res i l ience in l i fe . How
we manage and ‘grow’ f rom anxiety is dependent upon our abi l i ty to
‘ recover ’ f rom what we perceive as a threat , chal lenge, loss , cr is is , change
or fear in our l i fe . Our abi l i ty to manage and cope with anxious s i tuat ions
is developed and ‘hot-wired ’ in the centra l nervous system, and is
inf luenced by our ear ly chi ldhood exper ience and development .
How we manage anxiety and phobias is predominant ly modeled (and learnt )
through our pr imary care g ivers (most commonly our parents) . I f anxiety is
not managed in a ‘good enough’ way or coping with anxiety is exper ienced
in a harmful or damaging way, i t leaves us enter ing the wor ld with a
d istorted vers ion of l i fe and we are lef t wi th inadequate emot ional and l i fe
sk i l ls which are needed to be able to overcome l i fe ’s problems. I f we do not
learn heal thy l i fe sk i l l s and learn how to ‘be comfortable wi th ’ and manage
anxiety in a heal thy way, then eventual ly the anxiety compromises our
immune system’s abi l i ty to funct ion, leav ing us vulnerable to i l lness and
exhaust ion. As we encounter more anxiety we may exper ience bouts of
depress ion, anger , and panic .
Modern-day stress and anxiety are ref lect ive of the modern wor ld we l ive
in and often are re lated to us not feel ing ‘good enough’ or not feel ing
successful , fee l ing ‘a fa i lure ’ , a lways feel ing unsat is f ied, unable to mainta in
re lat ionships. We str ive for perfect ion and the anxiety ‘merry go round’
cont inues. Due to the uncomfortable feel ings associated with h igh levels of
anxiety , we develop our own strategies and behaviour patterns to deal wi th
(deny or numb out ) these feel ings , for example; se l f -medicat ing to dul l
emot ional pain , dr ink ing a lcohol to re lax or shut out feel ing anxiety ,
work ing excess ive ly to d istract f rom the pressures and anxiet ies of l i fe ,
over or under eat ing for comfort or to f i l l the fr ightening feel ing of anxiety .
A l l these maladapt ive behaviors are ef forts to feel in control or d iscard
uncomfortable feel ings. Anxiety re lated i l lness k i l l more people on the
planet than any other condit ion. I t is l inked to cancer , heart d isease,
depress ion and addict ion. Anxiety can a lso resul t in h igh suic ide rates –
especia l ly among men.

MEDICAL TREATMENT
AT THE BALANCE
At THE BALANCE we of fer c l ients a hol ist ic approach to phys ica l and mental
heal th care. The term ́hol ist ic ́ means that our program incorporates a l l
aspects of a person l i fe and recognizes that each part of us is int imately
interconnected to a ́whole ́ so in terms of heal th care , i t recognizes that a l l
areas of a person ’s l i fe need attent ion, in order to impact on the indiv idual .
This incorporates our model of Mind, Body and L i fe .
Hol ist ic medic ine (a lso known as phys io logica l regulat ing medic ine and
Bio logica l Medic ine) treats the whole person. The pat ient ’s symptoms are
a lways considered to be the outward express ion of an under ly ing
dysfunct ion that can be remedied by st imulat ing the body ’s own regulatory
forces. We search for the root causes of the pat ient ’s d isease in order to
g ive the body a chance to heal i tse l f . This is why we g ive top pr ior i ty to
improving the pat ient ’s general metabol ism, together wi th detoxi f icat ion,
pur i f icat ion and the latest methods of immune - st imulat ion, as wel l as
other st imulat ing therapies .
THE BALANCE bio logica l medic ine a ims at strengthening the whole , so that
d iseases and suscept ib i l i ty to d isease can be overcome by the pat ient ’s own
immune system and heal ing process. For th is reason, our doctors ut i l i ze
'suppress ive ' medic ines only dur ing t imes of emergency , and not for
chronic care management , because th is type of medic ine is most ef fect ive
in acute s i tuat ions. We are a lso s lower to recommend certa in operat ions ,
preferr ing f i rst to apply our hol ist ic therapy concept .
As our pat ient , you are making a commitment to your heal th . With your
cooperat ion and the THE BALANCE staf f ’ s input of exper ience and know
how, suscept ib i l i t ies can be detected, and the course of the disease
reversed. I t i s important to note that our doctors have convent ional medical
degrees and specia l ized tra in ing in Bio logica l Medic ine, and in certa in
cases , convent ional and hol ist ic treatments wi l l be integrated.

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WEAKNESS
AND THE ADRENAL GLAND
Adrenal fat igue is a col lect ion of s igns and symptoms, known as a syndrome,
that resul ts when the adrenal g lands funct ion below the necessary level .
Most commonly associated with intense or prolonged stress , i t can a lso
ar ise dur ing or af ter acute or chronic infect ions , especia l ly respiratory
infect ions such as inf luenza, bronchit is or pneumonia. . . you l ive wi th a
general sense of un-wel lness , t i redness or “grey” feel ings . People
exper iencing adrenal fat igue often have to use cof fee, colas and other
st imulants to get going in the morning and to prop themselves up dur ing
the day.
“The adrenal g lands respond to a l l types of stress in the same way. . . I t i s
important to know that a l l s tresses are addit ive and cumulat ive . The
number of stresses , whether or not you recognize them as stresses , the
intensi ty of each stress , and the frequency with which i t occurs p lus the
length of t ime i t is present , a l l combine to form your tota l stress load. ”
together wi th th is i t i s necessary to be aware of connect ions in the body
system:
The digest ive and g landular systems are c losely re lated to the autonomic
nervous system, which is a lso ca l led the “abdominal bra in” . I t consists of
two parts , the sympathet ic and the parasympathet ic , which control a l l our
involuntary body funct ions and must be rhythmical ly balanced with one
another for our metabol ism and immune systems to funct ion proper ly . At
RECORE we are able to measure th is balance in a unique way v ia tools that
assess what is known as Heart Rate Var iabi l i ty (HRV) .
By e l iminat ing a l l inf luencing factors (e .g . dental foc i , food a l lerg ies ,
mineral , v i tamin and trace e lement def ic iencies , e lectromagnet ic stress ,
d isorders of the autonomic nervous system, etc . more than 80% of a l l
pat ients we treat for these basic d isorders fu l ly recover . V i r tual ly a l l of our
metabol ic pat ients s igni f icant ly improve thanks to our medic ines , wi thout
hav ing to take the drugs commonly prescr ibed that involve adverse s ide
ef fects . With d iabetes pat ients , the insul in dose they need can frequent ly
be reduced. But especia l ly the qual i ty of l i fe and overal l wel lbeing improve
immensely .
