The Harley Street General Practice has recently been experiencing some disruption to its phone systems. These issues have now been resolved and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
The
Diet Doctors
Samina co-presented the third series of the popular
programme The Diet Doctors on Channel
5.
 Samina
was co-writer of the book based on the series. It is called
Diet
Doctors Inside and Out: The 12-week Plan to Make You Slim
for Life.
It
can be bought at all good bookshops, including Amazon,
or signed copies are available from the practice.
Care
Quality Commission
The
practice is now formally registered with the Care Quality Commission, formerly known as the Health Care Commission.
This entails having all aspects of our practice scrutinised
and means all processes within the practice have been assessed
as 'safe' and that modern healthcare standards have been
met. We knew we were doing things right, but it's nice to
have formal recognition!
Health
News
Human
Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccination
You
may have read about this new vaccination. It is aimed primarily
at young girls, although it can be given to women up to
the age of 26. Ideally, females should receive this
vaccine before they become sexually active.
By
preventing HPV infection it will prevent the development
of most pre-cancers of the cervix, vulva and vagina, and
genital warts. Studies show that the vaccination is very
safe.
A
choice of vaccine (Cervarix and Gardasil) is now available
at the HSGP. Three doses of either is required, and prices
are available on request.
If
you or a member of your family would like to consider vaccination
against HPV, please do contact us. |

Vitamin D
Katrina feels strongly about the importance of vitamin D to the health of the human body and recently presented to her local MP to help raise awareness.
Did you know that based on research it seems that with certain levels of vitamin D in the blood all-cancer risk may be reduced by as much as 68%, and breast cancer specifically as much as 69%? Also, vitamin D levels appear to correlate to the incidence of various serious health concerns including hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, some cardiovascular disease, and pregnancy outcomes.
Katrina can organise testing to check for optimal vitamin D levels as part of your initial nutrition and naturopathy consultation. If you are interested please email Katrina on katrina@thewellnaturalhealth.co.uk
