The 16-year-old Rangi Ruru Girls’ School student watched a jacket she designed grace the catwalk of Brother’s Graduate Show from a front row seat. “It was a really amazing

experience to see the garment actually on a runway, as well as watching what other people had designed,” Jane said. Jane’s jacket won the supreme award from the Brother Design

Stars competition, which came with the ticket to fashion week. She said it really inspired her to pursue a career in the fashion industry. •Turn to page 11

By Julia Evans FENDALTON residents have failed in a bid to get motorists to stop taking short cuts down their street. Rochdale St residents concerned with rat-running in the area called for the street to be made “residents only” from Straven Rd during an on-site meeting with the city council. But the city council said it would not be possible. Reporting back to the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board, city council staff said: “Making Rochdale St residents only at Straven Rd is not appropriate as it is a public road.” The meeting was attended by residents from Harakeke and Rochdale Sts, city council staff, and Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board deputy chairwoman Helen Broughton, said Aaron Haymes, city council manager operations transport. •Turn to page 12

A LOT of success in your Nor’West News this week – and it’s all to do with young people. On the front page today we showcase what was an amazing night for 16-year-old Jane Boyle at New Zealand Fashion Week. Her jacket won a major award and the Rangi student was in the front row to soak up the atmosphere and glory. On the sporting front, Christchurch Boys’ High’s under-15 rugby team are national champions after beating Hamilton Boys’ High 2218 on Friday. They are undefeated this season, a remarkable effort. Burnside High’s first XI football side won the Rex Dawkins Cup after an undefeated showing last week in Palmerston North. And Rangi’s first XI hockey team finished second in the Federation Cup after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Auckland’s St Cuthbert’s College on Saturday. – Barry Clarke

Intersection wager causes stoush By Julia Evans A STOUSH has broken out between Aaron Keown and John Stringer over a contentious Harewood intersection. City councillor Keown has dismissed Papanui-Innes Community Board member John Stringer’s claim that the Gardiners, Breens and Harewood Rds intersection does not need traffic lights. Mr Stringer wrote an opinion piece for last week’s Nor’West News where he said upgrading the intersection was “not a local priority”. He said there had been too much coverage on one side of the argument. But Cr Keown said that’s simply not true. “As the local city councillor, I’ve been contacted by a lot of residents about ‘their’ issue, which is the Breens, Harewood and Gardiners intersection, and I am merely their spokesperson,” he said. Mr Stringer lives near the intersection but is a member of the Papanui-Innes Community Board, which does not cover the junction. He suggested a traffic island would be enough to “solve his [Cr Keown’s] problem”. But the city councillor said

MONOPOLY: John Stringer “claimed” city councillor Aaron Keown’s (right) $100 reward.

installing traffic lights at the intersection was not just an idea he had come up with. “The idea of traffic lights is not mine but an idea of the people I represent and I support them,” he said. Cr Keown said it is his job to speak on behalf of the residents of Harewood, who have asked for this upgrade for years. A petition signed by more than 1000 people would suggest lights are what they want.

“As elected members, it is our job to speak on behalf of our residents, and I’ve been contacted about this intersection more than any other issue ever in my 10 years of being elected,” Cr Keown said. Mr Stringer said the intersection at Johns and Harewood Rds is more dangerous than the Gardiners, Breens and Harewood Rds intersection. He “claimed” Cr Keown’s offer of $100. The city councillor had of-

fered $100 to anyone who could come up with a more dangerous intersection than Gardiners, Harewood and Breens Rds. But Cr Keown said the Johns and Harewood Rds intersection is not in the city council’s jurisdiction, nor is it more dangerous. “I’ve only ever had a couple of mentions of the Johns Rd and Harewood Rd intersection as it’s not even our jurisdiction – it is a New Zealand Transport Agency corridor,” he said. Cr Keown said Mr Stringer’s Monopoly money would not help the issue at all. “The real money needs to be stumped up for an intersection upgrade that the people of Harewood say is long overdue,” Cr Keown said. •HAVE YOUR SAY: Which intersection do you think is the most dangerous?

PARKING ISSUES Heavy vehicles parking along Leinster St, Merivale, are causing concern for residents, who are struggling to find on-street parking. Traffic and parking issues along the street have been raised with the Fendalton-WaimairiHarewood Community Board. City council staff are investigating and will report back to the community board. YOUTH LEADERS WANTED The Rotary Club of Bishopdale Burnside is calling for nominations for its youth leadership course. To nominate someone aged 18 to 25 within the area, email secretary@ bishopdale-burnside-rotary.com. MORE RESERVE PARKING Work is currently under way to increase the size of the car park at Roto Kotahu Reserve in Harewood. The reserve has increased in popularity so the city council found it needs to provide more parking and better facilities. Work is expected to be completed by mid-October.

GENERAL ELECTION 2017 – MEET THE CANDIDATES Ilam electorate

McMaster Heap

Veterinary practice

EMERGENCY EYE SURGERY FOR JESS Meet “Jess” an 8 year old black and white moggy with real attitude, who recently flew down from Nelson to see Dr Steve Heap for emergency surgery on her left eye. Her primary vet at Alabama Vets, had seen her a week earlier for a painful superficial ulcer ( probably from a cat scratch injury). Jess was very hard to examine so was started on topical eye ointment and anti-inflammatory medication. Jess was otherwise well. She returned 2 days later as her owners couldn’t medicate the eye either. By this stage her left eye was producing a bloody infected discharge, had swelled up and the ulcer had grown in size. Her vet added in antibiotic tablets and more medication for inflammation, swelling and pain but the next day the ulcer looked no better. Jess needed to be sedated as the vet couldn’t examine this eye with her awake. Her eye was stained with fluorosein( as can be seen in the attached photo) and had become non healing and so given the difficulty in medicating Jess it was thought a better way to go was surgery in Christchurch with DrSteve Heap. So Jess flew to Steve and was operated on immediately to prevent the eye collapsing and impaired vision. Steve performed a lamellar keratectomy to remove the dead, soft, spongy tissue on edges of the deep stromal corneal ulcer. A conjunctival flap was sutured over the large defect to allow the perfect environment for healing, meaning a good blood supply and protection from environmental allergens. Due to the difficulty in checking the healing progress of Jess’s eye it was thought a good idea to board her at McMaster & Heap vets until Steve was happy that the ulcer was healing. As we were still unable to get near

Steve has given the all clear and she flies home on Friday to her eagerly awaiting, doting parents. Steve sees at least 10 eye referrals daily and many of these patients end up needing surgery. Eye injuries can’t wait if the end result is to save the eye and Steve will often come into the clinic on his days off to see emergency cases.

GENERAL ELECTION 2017 – MEET THE CANDIDATES Christchurch Central electorate Nicky Wagner – National My focus has, and will continue to be, making Christchurch a city of opportunity for all. The last six years have been tough and we still face many unique challenges, but I think we all want the same thing — a vibrant, people-friendly community where our families can thrive. We want a great education for our kids, we want training and higher learning opportunities, we want jobs we like, we

Duncan Webb – Labour I choose to live in Christchurch because it will become the best place for my family. Labour’s plan – $300 million for the people of Christchurch to choose how they progress our rebuild, an inquiry into EQC, and compensation for undue delays by insurers – puts Christchurch and Cantabrians first. As a lawyer helping homeowners battle for justice I’ve seen what people are still up against.

want support services, solid infrastructure and a safe place to relax and enjoy ourselves. Christchurch continues

to go from strength to strength, with strong job growth, more visitors and regeneration plans well under way. But, there’s plenty more to be done. That’s why I’ll be out over the next 11 days knocking on doors, speaking to local groups, attending events and connecting with as many people as possible. I’m committed to helping Christchurch get back on its feet and ensuring it’s a great place for everyone to live, work and play.

Six years after the earthquakes, our people and our city are still floundering; that’s scandalous. The job is not finished.

Investing in the city also means investing in health. Labour will properly fund health, especially mental health. A strong city is one where people can get the help – whether that is surgery, or counselling – they need, especially our children. Let’s get this fixed. I’m proud to be part of a Labour team that has the vision to help make Christchurch the great place we know it can be for the future.

Ian Gaskin – United Future United Future is leading the debate on drug law reform. If I’m elected to represent Christchurch Central I will likely be a government coalition partner and be able to change the law. By enabling drug addicts to get drugs on prescription we will see a major reduction in crime. By allowing class C drugs to be sold a large new cash flow will assist the Government.

This will bring 10000 jobs to rural South Island towns. I’m 62-years-old and have been living in Christchurch since before the earthquakes. I have been involved with United Future for over 30 years.

2011, just days before the second quake. Six-and-a-half years later, I have completed my Master’s degree in Biological Sciences at the

University of Canterbury. TOP’s evidenced-based policy resonates with my science background, and their non-partisan approach is a breath of fresh air. If we want to address housing affordability, poverty, environmental degradation, and our mental health crisis in earnest, then we need comprehensive and evidence-based policies to address these issues at the root. TOP has these policies, but we need your support.

Doug Hill – The Opportunities Party At 24, I am the youngest candidate in The Opportunities Party and I am enthusiastic about encouraging New Zealanders to look forward beyond just the next three years.

Nikki has strong rural connections through her family and believes that the Green Party is a natural fit for proud rural New Zealanders who care about their community and the environment.

GENERAL ELECTION 2017 – MEET THE CANDIDATES Waimakairiri electorate Benjamin Price – Conservative Party I have lived in the Waimakariri electorate for the last 20 years and have worked in various roles over that time – predominantly in the IT sector. I joined the Conservative Party after seeing successive governments completely (and arrogantly) ignore the directives of New Zealanders, including

through citizen initiated referenda. The unfortunate result has been numerous legislative and social changes that have not only been detrimental to the effective running of the country, but also to the stability and coherence of families. Governments need to be reminded that they work for the citizens of the country, not the other way around.

•Other candidates standing in Waimakariri are Peter Adcock-White, Democrats for Social Credit, Stuart Hawkins, ACT, Richard Prosser, New Zealand First, Aroha Reriti-Crofts, Maori Party and Destiny Wiringi, Independent.

THE FIRST step in Christchurch Boys’ High School’s $32 million upgrade is finished. The school has unveiled its new $4.66 million hall, which has mezzanine seating for 1350 students. Headmaster Nic Hill said the hall was an important milestone in the school’s overall rebuild. “It’s the first thing we’ve finished – it was really great for the boys,” Mr Hill said. He said the building is “very modern” but has a “traditional purpose”.

“We’re not bound by tradition but we’ve got a really clear mandate about what the boys need from the space.” During the opening assembly, Mr Hill spoke to the students about the hall representing the next 136 years in the school’s future and the 136 years of history behind it. “The best story I heard was a student sent his dad a picture of his freshly polished shoes. He’d shined them to go into the new hall,” he said. The three-year facelift, which began construction last year, includes a new block of 37 classrooms and

a gym. Mr Hill said the school is aiming to create spaces that won’t date. The next step is designing the classroom block. “We’ve spoken with architects, as well as asked students, parents and the board of trustees what they want in the design,” he said. Only a few of the school’s original buildings are set stay, including the Deans’ farm heritage buildings and the Centennial building. The main heritage block will be repaired throughout the course of construction.

Bridge club finally settles down By Julia Evans AFTER BEING nomadic for more than six years, the Bishopdale Bridge Club has found a home. With the opening of the Ōrauwhata: Bishopdale Library and Community Centre, the club feels like it has finally settled down, president Janet Stokes said. Prior to the February 22, 2011, earthquake, the 40-yearold bridge club has “been wandering”, Mrs Stokes said. The club left the former Bishopdale Library on Farrington Ave and moved down a few houses into St Margaret’s Presbyterian Church just before the quakes. But it had to move again after an arson attack last May caused $2 million in damage to the church, and the club lost all its equipment. Since the fire, the club has been using space in Riccarton provided by the Crockfords Bridge Club. She said the Riccarton club had been most accommodating, but it was good for the older members, who found it difficult to travel, to be back in Bishopdale. “We’re just thrilled to be back

the club has been able to purchase new specialist tables, table cloths and equipment with the grant. The club’s 70 members, mostly aged over 70-years-old, now meet regularly in the “fresh”,

Teen chases the fashion dream •From page 1 “It proved that it was a realistic dream that I could chase. Really opened my eyes to the opportunities.” Unfortunately before Jane could see any of her favourite designers’ shows, she had to fly back the next day for exam week at school. “I found it so hard concentrating after that,” she said. It was 90-year-old fashion icon Iris Apfel who inspired the bright, bold jacket design, which was made from worn leather and recycled material. “Iris helped to inspire me and push past my boundaries and incorporate technique, colour and texture all into one jacket,” she said. Jane put her heart and soul into the jacket, which took more than 80 hours to create. “I made each and every one of the tassels covering the sleeve and hand braided and cut the front panels of the jacket,” she said. Jane said there were many hours spent handmaking the tassels in front of the television – but they were all “worth it.”

Bryndwr church reopens By Julia Evans THE VILLAGE Presbyterian Church in Bryndwr has celebrated the opening of its new building. The building replaced St Stephen’s Presbyterian Church, which was damaged in the February 22, 2011, earthquake.

During the ceremony, Reverend Martin Stewart said the original church built on site in 1959 now combines St Stephen’s and St Giles. Part of the event was also acknowledging that it has been almost 20 years since the community centre was established at St Stephen’s.

“It’s been 20 years since the community centre was formalised here too,” Rev Stewart said. He described the new church as “open”, “light”, “welcoming”, “comfortable” and not a “traditional” church. Burnside Primary School pupils performed during the short ceremony before a celebratory meal.

PERFORMANCE: Burnside Primary School pupils during the opening celebrations.

NEW HOME: John Simpson, Lesley Compton, Johan Dalkie, architect Gordon Dalkie and minister Martin Stewart.

TRAFFIC: Rat runners on Harakeke and Rochdale Sts are frustrating residents. PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS

Residents-only street rejected •From page 1 Staff investigated the rat running after receiving complaints from residents and found it happens mostly in the morning between Christchurch Boys’ and Christchurch Girls’ High Schools. Rochdale Precinct Society spokesman David Nicholls said while he wasn’t one of the residents at the meeting, closing the street to the public had been something the group was definitely behind. He said it “would’ve been helpful” if the city council listened to the suggestion. It comes as the Rochdale St Precinct Society is taking Bell, Lamb and Trotter to the High Court to put a stop to a proposed “boutique funeral home” on their street. City council staff also noted in their report that Rochdale

St already has a speed bump, pedestrian refuge and three areas of narrowing to provide traffic calming. But as a result of the on-site meeting, staff came away with several other action points to stop motorists taking short cuts. Mr Haymes said sign and road marking alterations have been sent to contractors and will begin shortly. Tapered no stopping restrictions along Kilmarnock St to Harakeke St will be installed and stop signs will be moved forward to extend the no stopping area. Pedestrian warning signs will also be installed on either side of the Christchurch Boys’ High School hostel Adams House, on Harakeke St. “These are scheduled for completion by the end of September,” Mr Haymes said.

Burnside end football season on high

SPORTS

RUNNERS-UP: Rangi Ruru Girls’ School finished second in the Federation Cup after a 1-0 loss to Auckland’s St Cuthbert’s College. PHOTO: PLANET HOCKEY

By Andrew King BURNSIDE HIGH won the Rex Dawkins Cup after an undefeated showing at the tournament in Palmerston North. Their perfect eight wins from eight games cumulated in a 3-1 win over Hutt Valley High in the final. However, it left coach Dave Williams wondering what could have been if they had made the top national tournament. “This did show that we should have been at the premier tournament because we had the team to do well, but unfortunately, we did not get the chance,” he said. The Rex Dawkins Cup is a satellite tournament for teams

not in the top 32 in the country. Selection to the premier tournament in Napier was done on the standings earlier in the Connetics first XI season. At the time, Burnside (above) were outside the top four. They finished the season in fourth. The highlight aside from winning the title, Williams said, was only conceding four goals but scoring 36.

Williams said captain Byron Heath was a stand-out player and was only two goals shy of the golden boot award. Keeper Christian Firth also stood out, only letting in four goals and saving a penalty in the final. “Centre mid-fielder Jamie Palmer also played amazingly well and Milan Clarke did a perfect job as our centre back,” he said.

The national tournament was held in Hawkes Bay last week and featured 32 of the country’s top teams. Rangi Ruru won their quarterfinal against Hawkes Bay’s Iona College on Thursday 3-2, before beating Villa Maria College 4-1 in the semi-final. Rangi Ruru director of sport

Jo Fogarty said it had been a demanding week and she was pleased with the result, acknowledging the hard work of the players, as well as head coach, Aaron Ford, and assistant coach and manager, Megan Wang. “Our success is due to quality coaching, our support team, which includes nutrition, strength and conditioning, and mental performance coaching and, of course, our hard working, motivated and talented students,” Fogarty said.

Methyl B-12 eye health

Research supports

Emerging research has shown as many as 50 per cent of older adults and as many as 25 per cent of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and repair and prevention of homocysteine - a serious cardiovascular risk factor that is known to cause damage and plaque in the blood vessels. It can also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a 34 per cent decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+ who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk of hearing loss in subjects in their 60s who were low in B12. The reason so many people lack B12 seems to be due to our body’s inability

RYMAN HEALTHCARE

Joan and Ernie Selenger relaxing in their townhouse

“The whole village has great people” A brand new kitchen is a key feature of the refurbished townhouses

Major refurbishments enhancing retirement village townhouses independent living in this lovely, resort-style village. There are numerous advantages to retirement living at Ngaio Marsh, with a key one being the guarantee of fixed weekly fees*. The weekly fee new residents pay when they move into a townhouse remains the same for the duration of their time in that townhouse.* While enjoying the same fully independent lifestyle they have always had, townhouse residents can participate in any of the village activities on offer and use the leisure facilities whenever they choose to. Indoor and outdoor bowls, petanque, croquet, pool, a gym, swimming pool and spa pool, a well-stocked library, a shop, and hair salon are all available for them. They can take part in the exclusive Ryman Triple A Exercise Programme, and also go out on the regular shopping trips and outings in the village van, all of which means they have the benefit of independent living, combined with the companionship of their fellow residents when they wish. A sense of security is provided with 24-hour emergency call alarms ensuring there is always help on hand if needed, they can potter in the garden outside their townhouse, and family members can visit whenever they like.

Ngaio Marsh runs a regular activities programme, which includes guest speakers, who come from a range of professional groups and private and government organisations to provide interesting and stimulating talks for the residents. There is also a wide variety of musical entertainment, which is always popular. Performers include an NZSO chamber group, young singers from the Dame Malvina Major Foundation, which Ryman sponsors, and individual musicians singing and playing guitar. In addition to all these benefits, there is the Ryman Difference, which further sets Ngaio Marsh apart. This includes the fixed weekly fee*, which stops immediately when the townhouse is vacated, a 90-day money-back guarantee* and four hours of house cleaning at no cost for residents leaving their home and moving into Ngaio Marsh. Next year, the village centre will come under the refurbishment spotlight. The project will include a new movie theatre, extension and upgrading of the library, the hair salon being fully refurbished, upgrading of the dining room and a new cafe where baristas will make the coffee. *Terms and conditions apply

the rowing machine, and using the swimming pool and spa as well. Not so much a “gym bunny”, Joan says, she started a 500 Club, with 22 members now enjoying the popular card game every Wednesday. She also likes gardening and has planted a veggie patch outside their home. An avid reader, Ernie enjoys visiting the library, and is very impressed with the services of librarian resident Dawn Marshall, who is in her 90s. Both Joan and Ernie thoroughly enjoy their neighbours, too. “It’s a great neighbourhood,” Ernie says. “The whole village has great people – they have a great sense of humour, and we’re all here for the same reason.” And as Joan says, “The most important thing is people should move into the retirement village while they are still able to enjoy the lifestyle. The resthome and the care are all there if they need it later.”

Townhouses provide independence and easy maintenance

Already widely recognised as a beautifully appointed retirement village in Papanui, near Northlands mall, the Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village, which is part of the Ryman Healthcare group, is currently undergoing major refurbishments to its townhouses. A full refurbishment of the village centre will also be carried out in 2018. While the practice has been for each of the one, two and three-bedroom townhouses to be redecorated as residents have moved out, now they are having more substantial renovation work done. When a townhouse is vacated, a brand-new kitchen with stone bench-top, dishwasher and waste disposal unit will be installed, the bathroom will be upgraded with tiled flooring and underfloor heating, and a second toilet added where possible. A heat pump and double-glazing will provide comfort and warmth for residents, while most of the townhouses will also have brandnew carpets and drapes fitted. The décor of the townhouses is also being updated, with soft neutral tones creating an elegant, restful environment. Ngaio Marsh has two of these refurbished townhouses currently available for retired people who would like to enjoy the benefits of

Ernie and Joan Selinger moved into their Ngaio Marsh townhouse in March 2016, and couldn’t be happier with their home and lifestyle. Joan, who was a nurse throughout her working life, both in New Zealand and in her husband’s home country of Canada, says when she and Ernie felt ready to move in to a retirement village they looked round a few places, including Ngaio Marsh. They talked to sales advisor Marie Kyle-Stevenson, who showed them a townhouse that was available, and that was it – an instant decision to move in. “It had nice views of the gardens, and we liked that,” Ernie says. He says what they especially enjoy about living at Ngaio Marsh is the choice of activities. “You can be as active as you want to be. And the management are very helpful – they encourage you to get involved in things.” Ernie goes to the gym most days, spending 40-50 minutes on

HEALTH & AWARENESS

Anxiety and breathing – are they related?

When good breathing goes bad Have you experienced any of these breathing difficulty symptoms? • Disturbed sleep • Erratic heartbeats* • Feeling anxious and uptight • Upset gut/nausea • Chest pains* • Shattered confidence • Tired all the time • Achy muscles and joints • Dizzy spells* or feeling spaced out • Irritability or hypervigilance • Frequent yawning and sighing • Breathing discomfort* • Pins and needles • Feelings of ‘air hunger’ *Check with your doctor if you experience these symptoms. These questions are asked on the website www.BradCliff.com. BradCliff was started by North Island physiotherapists Dinah Bradley and Tania Cliffton Smith, who specialise in hyperventilation and anxiety treatment. Their website notes one in 10 people experience some form of breathing pattern

disorder or chronic over breathing at some time in their lives, resulting in a range of disturbing or frightening symptoms puzzling to you and your doctor. You feel unwell because of overbreathing, and overbreathing makes you feel unwell. A vicious cycle is established, which is a major stress all by itself. This is experienced currently by many Cantabrians, says Ietje

van Stolk of Physical Sense Gym & Physio. As she explains, it is normal to breathe fast and in the upper chest when we are in danger and fight or flight is needed. We know all about that here, due to the earthquakes. Normally, once the danger is gone, our breathing should restore itself within a couple of days. We would then be using the diaphragm for our normal nonstressed breathing. We have been having a hard time restoring our breathing pattern here in Canterbury because every time our body tried to achieve that, the next aftershock came rolling in. Even though the aftershocks have significantly diminished, some people’s fight or flight mode breathing has become chronic, or habitual, Ietje says. And, as she points out, using the wrong muscles for breathing means these overworked muscles cause headaches, neck

pain and jaw pain. With fast upper chest breathing, sighing and yawning, the resulting disturbance of our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels can give us the feeling we are not able to control our own body. One moment you are feeling fine, next moment your chest feels tight, you feel out of breath, your heart beats erratically and you may even experience dizziness and/or tingling. Very scary if you do not understand what is happening. No wonder this causes anxiety. Not being the boss over our own body makes us anxious, anxiety feeds the faulty breathing pattern, and so it goes on. The BradCliff physiotherapists have established a national network of practitioners that regularly train together and can help you overcome this problem. Physical Sense is part of that network.

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

HEALTH & BEAUTY

New hope for patients suffering from MS, strokes or spinal injuries For those seeking relief from pain caused by injury, and other physical and mental health issues, Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao offers a method of treatment that brings fast, and often immediate results. A graduate of Beijing Medical College, Dr Lan established an acupuncture clinic in Christchurch in 1993. As she continued her research and medical practice, she discovered a reflexology network on the human body, an exciting new discovery that became the foundation of her new treatment – acupuncture without needles. Instead of needles, Dr Lan uses a blunt instrument to stimulate the reflexology points on the face or other parts of the body. When the point is stimulated by pressure, a message is sent to the repair centre to promote healing. As Dr Lan explains, the treatment increases energy, which boosts the body’s healing system. The body will heal injuries naturally, she says, but that is a slow process. In addition, many people will start to use their injured part, for example a knee or an ankle, before it is properly healed, therefore prolonging the injury and even causing chronic pain. With her powerful treatment, results are produced very quickly – even instantly. She likens it to the differences between the power of a car – natural healing, of an aeroplane – other types of natural healing, and of a rocket –

reflexology network. It brings fast results because it is a very precise treatment, Dr Lan says. She uses it to treat people of all ages with many different types of pain in all parts of the body, including arthritic pain, MS, and pain from injury, and there are no side-effects. Depression and anxiety, often the result of ongoing low energy, can also be overcome with Dr Lan’s treatment. Dr Lan’s treatment can give amazing, instant improvement for muscle weakness and numbness caused by nerve damage such as MS, stroke and spinal injury. Search You Tube for Dr Lan reflexology to see lots of instant results videos. Dr Lan has published a book, Dr Lan’s Reflexology Network, which introduces the treatment and explains how it works. Her website, www. drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes treatment videos, where people who have had the treatment speak about the fast relief it has brought them. Dr Lan is offering 10 patients of stroke, 10 patients of MS and 10 patients of spinal injury half price for their rehabb. Phone 323 4168, mobile 027 231 8388.
