After graduating as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1990 it didn't take long until I realised that there was more to treating the body than looking after the skeleton alone. For this reason, I went on to study in hypnosis, NLP and Life Coaching to help me to look after the mind as well as the body. This enabled me to treat people both structurally and emotionally / psychologically but it didn’t allow for the treatment of chemical / dietary problems and problems that were more energetically based or esoteric. Further research was therefore needed and this lead to learning Reiki and Seichem as well as Total Body Modification (T.B.M) - a branch of Applied Kinesiology - to deal with these areas. I was so impressed with T.B.M. that I became one of its European instructors, lecturing and teaching the system worldwide. I still practice and run my own successful clinic in the north of England and have also become a Fellow of the College of Chiropractors, Fellow of the European Academy of Chiropractic and Fellow of the Association of Osteomyologists. I genuinely believe that the "power that made the body can heal the body" and that there really are no lost causes when it comes to regaining your health! This has led me to the ongoing development of my own system of healthcare (Integrated Healing Systems) and my ongoing research and writing. When I am relaxing I love spending time with my partner and soul-mate who I love tremendously!

Difficulties handling money may indicate the development of Alzheimer's disease
I like to give you warning signs to look for not only in the progression of Alzheimer's but also as a useful tool to look out for in other people that may be at risk – and here is another one. For people with mild signs of dementia, problems with managing money may be a clue that memory problems are developing into Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study published in the journal Neurology.

The Low Down on Lithium and Alzheimer's Disease
Some readers may already be aware that lithium is a very useful treatment for certain mental illnesses. However very few of them may know that there are different types of lithium compounds available and that the prescribed type is just one of them. The lithium salts that this article will deal with are used in very small doses and their effects have been linked with slowing the progression of Parkinson's disease, senile dementia and more importantly Alzheimer's disease.

Lesser Known Herbs Used In The Management Of Cholesterol You May Want To Investigate
No set of articles can give you information on all the herbs and supplements that can help lower your cholesterol because there just wouldn't be room. Therefore below is a list of other herbs that you may want to look into a little more closely and are will cover some of the other more mainstream supplements later in individual articles...

The Cholesterol Lowering / Heart Improving Effects of Exercise – Part Two
In my last article I mentioned the effects of walking. In this article I want to take that a little further and also cover some other things you can try to keep your heart in perfect condition. If you only need to fit in four 10 minute walks a day to show an improvement in heart function this makes exercising so much easier. For example you can… Use stairs instead of lifts or escalators. When you’re at home you can climb the stairs whilst waiting for your television programme to start.

The Cholesterol Lowering / Heart Improving Effects of Exercise – Part One
For those of you that would enjoy a little more physical involvement (without going to extremes) in order to lower your cholesterol, you could include some gentle stretches and toning exercises into your routine. Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates will not only improve your cholesterol levels but also clear your mind, enhance your balance and strengthen your whole body – which to me sounds like an ideal combination of mind and body working together for maximum improvement.

Chromium and Cholesterol Control
Chromium and Cholesterol Control Chromium is needed by the body in order to handle fats and sugars correctly (which makes it ideal for stabilizing blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetics) and several studies have linked chromium (and in particular chromium picolinate) with excellent results in not lowering LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol but also raising HDL cholesterol. These benefits are particularly noticeable in those already suffering with high cholesterol.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) And Cholesterol Control
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) And Cholesterol Control Vitamin B3, or niacin, is very effective in helping not only lower bad cholesterol (often more effectively than “statins” such as atorvastatin or “Lipitor”) but also, more importantly, in increasing good cholesterol – so one supplement gives you the best of both worlds! To find out more and to improve your health – read on….

Vitamin C – The Most Important Vitamin To Lower Cholesterol?
Vitamin C – The Most Important Vitamin To Lower Cholesterol? Recent research has shown that taking plenty of vitamin C provides more protection against heart disease and cholesterol than almost any other substance. Various studies have shown that… 1. Vitamin C plays a role in the conversion of cholesterol into bile acids. If vitamin C is lacking, less cholesterol is converted leaving it instead to build up in the arteries, blood and liver. 2. Vitamin C is needed for metabolising blood fats.

Statins and Alzheimer's Disease
In an earlier article I mention the many health benefits that were to be gained from reducing the amount of carbohydrates in the typical diet. Unfortunately a lot of people worry that if they reduce the amount of carbohydrates that they eat, then very often their consumption of protein and fat increases along with the resultant worry about cholesterol.

Carbohydrates - The Memory Destroyer
I mentioned earlier about the effects of diabetes on dementia and Alzheimer's but you don't necessarily have to have diabetes to be at risk from the effects of uncontrolled blood sugar. The brain is the largest consumer of energy in your body and almost one quarter of the fuel you make goes to “feed” it – give it the wrong fuel and it is not surprising that things start going wrong.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Steffan Abel
Here are a few of the quotes I try to live by (from www.theachieversmind.com) just to get you started...
“We shall never have more time. We have, and always had, all the time there is. No object is served in waiting until next week or even until tomorrow. Keep going... Concentrate on something useful.”
“It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is best from the top” “Any idea exclusively occupying the mind turns into reality.” “So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected, let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!” “You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.” “The people who influence you are the people who believe in you” “There is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving” “Wherever we are, it is our friends that make our world.” “There are times when a man should be content with what he has but never with what he is.” “He has achieved success who has worked well, laughed often, and loved much.”
“A man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them.”

How to get started
The best way to learn about my work is to visit the following sites...
www.alzheimersalternative.com for all you will ever need to know about alternative approaches to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. There is a free newsletter available that will give you weekly tips and techniques on improving your mind and memory.
www.theachieversmind.com - I used to question why there should be varying degrees of success between people that should otherwise be so similar. This sparked an interest in Personal Development and Self Growth culminating in this site where the works of some of the leaders in this field have been collected and re-edited. I believe that these works and the insights gained from them have allowed me to progress as far as I have in the Chiropractic profession and I believe they can do the same for you!
www.thehealthyheart.co.uk - this site will show you all you need to know to lower your cholesterol levels to a healthy, safe limit WITHOUT the use of drugs! Simple ideas and supplements are all that it needs to get you healthy again!
