Iridology, study of the iris

Posted by on Aug 14, 2011 in The Haven Treatments | Comments Off

I have read articles that have discredited the use of iridolody because there is no scientific evidence. If you think about it, it’s very difficult to prove “scientifically” that acupuncture works, yet we know it does. It is easy to discredited homeopathy as it doesn’t fall neatly into a category, it  has no scientific basis. Some things cannot be measured in the same way as a pharmaceutical drug. Does this mean it has no value? Here are some of the statements that have been written by critics (in italics) - *...

Posted by on Jan 29, 2011 in The Haven Treatments | Comments Off

Low level Laser Therapy is compressed light of a wavelength from the cold, red part of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. It is different from natural light in that it is one precise colour, a single wavelength, and it travels in a straight line, monochromatic and polarized (it concentrates its beam in a defined location or spot). These properties allow laser light to penetrate the surface of the skin with no heating effect, no damage to the skin and no known side-effects. Rather, laser light directs light energy directly into the...

A handful of healthy reasons why Boquete, Panama

Posted by on Jan 16, 2011 in General Information | Comments Off

Fresh mountain air is full of ‘negative ions’ and although they are called “negative” they have a positive effect on our whole body. Health Shops in the US, Canada, and Europe sell electrical ionizer you plug in to create ‘negative ions’. No need to plug-in a machine here in Boquete, as the air is full of them. The fast flowing rivers and abundance of waterfalls fill the air with these ‘negative ions’. Even if you did have a machine, it could only fill one room with these healthful ions. The perfect temperature all year round...
