Warmest Greetings from Middle Path Maleny

Autumn is upon us and our liquid amber trees will soon be loosing their leaves, showing me that change is ever present. In Maleny we actually seem to experience the seasons which is quite refreshing.

The "Caboose" on track again

We have given our railway carriage a new name “The Caboose” it is looking fantastic with its facelift. When we stripped it I thought we would renew a few things but everything has been replaced and it is looking stunning and once again is available for family and friends and clients to stay in whilst they do the one day detox day.

New Treatment Table for Clinic

Fergus and Randy DeGraw a quality craftsman and dear friend made me the most beautiful Colonic Irrigation treatment bench in natural timber. What a treat having this fine piece of furniture in our clinic, here is a link to Randy’s website for any therapists who are looking for a fine treatment table or if you want a divine piece of furniture for your home.

Charm the Wonder Dog

Beautiful Charm our wonder dog had to have a serious operation last week, she is almost 13 and for a huge dog that is pretty old. Charm had a fast growing malignant tumour removed. I feel so blessed she survived the operation. I must say I was questioning why she got it as we only feed her brown rice vegetables and raw roo meat and when we can’t get the roo meat we use pet mince.

After trying to track down the why Fergus happened to say where do you think the cancerous cows go when they get sick: straight to the pet food trail. This was confirmed by a friend who said she and her husband were farmers and that was exactly what they did with the sick animals. I suppose it was Russian roulette and may have been what happened. I stress to clients not to eat rare meat as the cancer can get transmitted through the blood.

Purchasing 2 acres

We are just awaiting the legals to go through on the purchase of an adjoining 2 acres, a boundary alignment which is directly in front of our home. This piece of land is North East facing and will give us prime land for growing herbs, our wonder weeds vegetables and fruit trees so that we can supply superior chemical free products. This will give us a front cul-de-sac entrance from Lawrence Place. It has been council approved and hopefully it won’t be long before the road goes in.

Trip to Niue & Coconut Oil

We have recently become very impressed by the broad spectrum health-giving properties and medicinal benefits of Virgin coconut oil. It has a long tradition of use for a myriad of benefits around the tropical regions of our wonderful planet.

Determined to find a source of the marvellous product and learn from the people who know it best and use it in their daily lives, we investigated various sources and came across the tiny island nation of Niue. It is the smallest self-governing nation in the world, a coral island of some 250 square kilometres out past Tonga.

Interestingly, the word Niue in Niuean means "coconut". After much research and some tangible encouragement from the universe we have established contact with some healers and producers there. Although the coconut industry was nearly destroyed by cyclone Heta last March (2004) they are very welcoming and willing to receive us.

We are off in April for a fortnight’s trip to Niue to research this invaluable product.

Here is some very valuable information about the Coconut tree and Coconut Oil.
