Seed oil is often referred to as “The Remedy

years, since its first reported discovery in
Tutankhamun’s tomb. For thousands of years
been used by practitioners of Ayurvedic &
ese traditional medicine for an endless list of
itions, from migraines to diabetes & cancer.
1959 scientists have carried out over 600

fungal, parasitic, & viral infections. According
to the “National Institute of Health” superbugs
are becoming a significant public health risk
as they are virtually impossible to treat. In the
USA an increasing number of hospital patients
are developing infections from superbugs with
more than 90,000 of these patients dying every
year. Researchers at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical
College wanted to confirm the benefits of black
seed oil against these superbugs compared with
common antibiotics. According to the study,
“out of 144 strains of superbugs tested, most of
which were resistant to a number of antibiotics,
97 were inhibited by the black seed oil. Microbes
or micro-organisms have been linked to most
disease & there are few things known to be
as effective against them as the black seed oil.
Croatian scientists studying mice with cancers
found that the phytochemicals in black seed oil
resulted in a 52% decrease in tumor cells. Diabetes
drugs can have numerous side effects but research
by the “Indian Council of Medicine” found that
black seed oil helps regenerate pancreatic cells &
decreases elevated serum glucose in both type 1 &
type 2 diabetes.
Amazing Herbs in the USA produce the original

Three new faces for community board
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
AL NOOR Mosque’s Imam,
an office support person
and a key figure behind the
successful campaign saving
Denton Park are the three new
faces representing the western
suburbs.
Gamal Fouda, Andrei Moore
and Mark Peters have been
elected to represent the Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton Community
Board following the recent local
body elections.
Mark Peters received the
highest number of votes for the
Hornby Ward with 2636 votes,
closely followed by previous
board chairman Mike Mora with
2112 votes.
While he missed out on being
elected as the Hornby councillor
to incumbent Jimmy Chen
by 1089 votes, he said he was
pleased to be elected as a board
member.
“I am looking forward to it.
Hornby is well-represented. I
am pleased Jimmy is back in
and keen to work with him,” Mr
Peters said.
The former Save Denton Park
chairman is well-known for
helping fight against having the
new Hornby Library, Service
Centre and South West Pool
Gamal Fouda Andrei Moore Mark Peters
from being built at Denton
Park.
He is well-known in the
community as a member of
the Greater Hornby Residents’
Association member and for
being actively involved Hope
Presbyterian Church.
Mr Fouda, who has been the
Imam of Al Noor mosque for
the last three years, will form
the Riccarton part of the board
after receiving 1154 votes – just
behind Helen Broughton who
got 1736 votes.
He said he was happy to have
the opportunity to continue
working in the community.
Mr Fouda received widespread
praise for his response following
the Al Noor Mosque losing
44 people to the March 15
shootings.
Mr Moore has been elected
as a Halswell board member
following receiving the highest
number of votes for the role at
4208.
“It wasn’t a result I was
expecting. I couldn’t quite
believe it,” he said.
He was adopted from Romania
by a Halswell family and has
lived in the suburb since he was
two-weeks-old.
A part-time office support
person, his work involves helping
people with issues including
housing, Work and Income and
immigration.
Key issues he wants to work
on this term is water, crime,
burglaries, better transport and
infrastructure planning.
Meanwhile, long-serving
board members Mr Mora, Mrs
Broughton, Ms Mora have
retained their seats.
They will be joined by city
councillors Jimmy Chen, Anne
Galloway and Cr Chu.
Previous members Ross
McFarlane and Natalie Bryden
will not be returning.
Mr Mora has served on the
board for 27 years. He was first
elected in 1992 and this will be
his 10th term.
While he is “really looking
forward” to serving the
community, this will be his last
term as an elected member.
Mr Mora, 71, said there some
other areas in his life he is
planning to focus on.
He is hoping he will be
selected as the chairman for
part of the term before starting a
“transitioning period.”
Like Mr Peters and Cr Chen, a
key issue he will be focusing on
is completing the new Hornby
mega-facility.
Mrs Broughton has served on

the board since 1995. She was a
city councillor from 2001-2013
and deputy chairwoman from
2013.
She said she is feeling really
positive about being re-elected
and is delighted Cr Chu has been
elected onto council.
Mrs Broughton said she
is one of a small number of
elected members with planning
qualifications and her goal is to
protect the living quality of the
Riccarton Ward.
This is Ms Mora’s third term
on the board.
She said she is overwhelmed
and blessed with the support
from the Halswell ward
community.
Ms Mora said her goals
are to be as active in the
community and around
the board table as she has
been before along with her
volunteering work.

Laryngeal paralysis in dogs
Laryngeal paralysis is a complex, typically progressive,
condition commonly affecting older large breed
dogs resulting in severe difficulty breathing especially
with exercise. This isn’t a common condition but when
these dogs present all hands need to be on deck. These
dogs can often present extremely distressed, unable to
breathe, collapsed and “blue”. Firstly if the dog presents
as an emergency they need oxygen via a cannula or
mask FAST. Often due to their distress at not being able
to breathe, sedation is necessary to calm these dogs
down as is cooling ( For example, fans and wetting
down). Occasionally intubation under anaesthesia
or a temporary tracheotomy can be lifesaving in this
situation.
This condition is best managed surgically but surgery
isn’t undertaken lightly and usually these operations
are performed by specialist surgeons. Discussions
need to be had with the client on the procedure and
possible complications post surgery, as in aspiration
pneumonia ( occurs in about 20% patients as a lifetime
risk with or without surgery). If these dogs are to
be managed medically we need to focus on weight
management, exercise control, environmental factors
like living in cooler climates and checking to make sure
these patients are not hypothyroid. Long term medical
management doesn’t have much impact on the disease
really and its likely to get worse due to its progressive
nature. While surgery doesn’t change the disease
progression, it is the preferred approach for long
term management and quality of life for the dog. The
surgical procedure can be tricky requiring anatomical
knowledge of the larynx and associated structures,
delicate specialised surgical instruments, careful control
of bleeding and excellent aftercare for the patient.
The response of dogs to surgery is excellent and you’ll
notice a few hours post operatively these dogs are
breathing easier already.
Each surgeon has their preferred technique and
you need an accompanying surgical nurse who is
competent in anaesthesia. These surgeries are often
performed in the morning so the surgical nurse has
all day to monitor the patients breathing, recovery
and vital signs. These patients are either discharged
to an afterhours hospital for the night or sent home
for aftercare with their family. They need to be in a
“cool’ and ‘calm’ environment, with no boisterous dogs
around for distractions. Diet consists of small meals
of meatballs fed from a height- avoid dry, sloppy and
liquid diets, as the dogs swallowing may be impaired
due to generalised neurological impairment.
“Bella” an 11 year old Border Collie recently had this
surgery performed at McMaster & Heap Vet Practice by
McMaster & Heap
Veterinary practice
Dr Helen Milner, a Registered Specialist in Small animal
Surgery. Bella developed difficulties breathing about 3
months ago quite suddenly. She quickly became puffed
and tired on walks and could only exercise a fraction of
what she was previously doing. Bella had lost her voice,
had effort exhaling on lying down and often looked like
she was having an asthma attack on exercise. This was
distressing for Bellas owners who wanted a better, more
active life for her.
So far so good. Bella can finally once again breathe
with ease - a tremendous outcome for all concerned,
especially Bella who can once again enjoy 3 hour runs
in the Port Hills, chasing rabbits and stalking ducks. The
hardest part has been keeping her rested and quiet for
4-6 weeks post surgery to avoid complications. Bella is
raring to go and looks essentially normal although she
has permanently lost her bark, which the neighbours
are quite stoked about.
Dr Helen Milner now works out of McMaster & Heap
Vet Practice doing Specialist Referral surgeries from
November of this year. Our new hospital has a dedicated
specialised theatre and surgical area and we have
purchased all the necessary surgical instrumentation
to perform referral surgery. A consultation is necessary
before surgery is planned. Please call the Practice if you
would like to find out more about this service.
Dr Michele McMaster
please remember the
NEW CLINIC OPEN DAY
on 30th November 12-3pm, where you’ll get
a chance to walk through our new facility
and chat to all our staff.
Update from Bella’s mum
Bella still thinks she is a young dog at 11 years old…
there are lots of things we thought she would grow
out off as she aged like jumping up on people when
she greeted them and trying to round up cars… She is a
very lean dog who loves her food and walks in the hills
but equally as happy lying in wait in the back yard for
the neighbours car to start up…. She has a wee bit of
arthritis in her back knees but otherwise is a very happy
and healthy dog.
So it was quite surprising when one day she chased
some rabbits in Wanaka on a walk and came back
breathing like an asthmatic - gasping and rattling.
She recovered within a few minutes and we didn’t
think much more of it - maybe just old dog breathing.
Gradually over the next couple of months her
breathing, while exercising heavily, got worse and then
we noticed a change in her bark. She suddenly seemed
to have a weird squeaky bark - she kept looking round
to see where the bark had come from. We videoed her
while exercising and headed off to see our vet, Dr Steve
Heap.
Steve looked at the video and immediately diagnosed
her with Laryngeal Paralysis. At this stage she was
only having issues breathing while exercising and was
having no problem eating. Steve felt, given how fit
and healthy she was, surgery was definitely an option
for Bella. And luckily for us they had Dr Helen Milner
coming on board at the practice who had done loads of
these tricky referral procedures. Plus she was happy to
come and operate on Bella before she had even started
her new surgical role at McMaster & Heap Vets.
Our meeting with Helen quickly dissipated any fears we
had that Bella was maybe too old for major surgery. She
went through every step of what was involved including
any complications and what her recovery period would
be like. We instantly loved Helen and felt we were in
great hands. She has huge empathy with her patients
and Bella loved her too. She was gentle and thorough
in her work up of Bella. She felt Bella would recover well
and would be back walking in the hills before we knew
it. She gave us a huge amount of reading material about
GOLPP which certainly helped in our decision making.
A few days later Bella was back for surgery at
McMaster & Heap. The surgery went really well with no
complications. She came home that afternoon, was a
bit woozy that night but the next day she up and ready
for action. That has been the only downside to surgery
- keeping her quiet and rested for 6 weeks! She has a
brand new flash looking harness as can’t be walked with
a collar anymore. Her ‘bark” has disappeared for good.
Her stitches are out and her wound looks amazing. After
a week of hand feeding her small meatballs she is back
eating her normal diet out of her bowl.
So far so good - watch out Port Hills rabbits. It won’t be
long till Bella is back on the chase…
Bella’s mum, Jo

TALENT: Corban Farnley in action on Lake Havasu in Arizona,
United States.
‘My goal was to win one but it
was pretty cool to win all three’
From page 1
Corban prevailed in the junior
ski 13 to 15-year-old lites, the
amateur classic ski and amateur
ski lites class. He not only beat the
best jet ski riders in his age-group,
but adults as well.
“My goal was to win one but it
was pretty cool to win all three,”
he said.
“It was very rough conditions
over there and I love racing in
that so it really helped me. Often
it was very windy but that suited
me. We all do 10 laps and race
each other at the same time. A lap
can take up to 2min.”
The jet skiers reach speeds of up
to 50km/h, Corban has been racing
since he was 10, but first got
on a jet ski when he was five.
His father Chris, was a national
champion in 1995 and owns a jet
ski shop. “At the start dad was my
trainer and I just got on with it and
gave it a go and really enjoyed it.”
He enjoyed having a bunch of
silverware to hold on the flight
home.
“It was pretty good. I had three
big trophies that lots of people
were asking me to carry on the
plane,” he said.
Corban will focus on the national
championships in March at
Cambridge. “There will be plenty
of racing for me to do over the
summer, but the nationals will be
my major focus to get ready for.”

Advice for
speaking up
at hearing
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A WORKSHOP will be held next
month to help residents speaking
at a major hearing over plans to
open a controversial quarry in
Templeton.
It will be run by retired resource
management consultant and
Deans Avenue Precinct Society
chairwoman Claire Mulcock and
is aiming to help residents who
aren’t used to speaking in public.
It comes as the hearing over
Fulton Hogan’s resource application
to open a 170ha quarry at
Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones and
Maddisons Rd begins on November
18.
Templeton Residents’ Association
secretary Mel Himin said the
aim of the workshop is to upskill
and predominantly give residents
confidence as the hearings process
can be “overwhelming.”
The workshop will cover making
verbal submissions at the
hearing, what to do and the processes
involved in a hearing.
The “Speaking at the hearing”
workshop will be held November
7.

Ballet apprentice back home for production
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
WHEN CALUM Gray was
a teenager, he never thought
he would one day dance for a
national ballet company.
But a whirlwind year as a
Royal New Zealand Ballet apprentice
has
brought the
now 21-yearold,
one step
closer to
his dreams
of leading
a career as
a full-time
Calum Gray
professional
ballet dancer.
Now, the upcoming
dancer, who grew up in
Riccarton, will return to the city
next month as part of the Royal
New Zealand Ballet’s production
of Hansel & Gretel.
Alongside Gray, fellow apprentice
Teagan Tank, formerly
of Redwood, will also return to
the city for the production.
Gray will form the corps de
ballet playing the role of one of
the witches’ gingerbread men.
Based in Wellington, Gray, a
former Anneliese Gilberd Academy
dancer, said he is excited to
be travelling back to the city.
“I can never pinpoint why –
there is something about the city
I like,” he said.
Gray has described the past
year with RNZB as “refreshing”
after training with the New Zealand
School of Dance for three
years before graduating with a
classical major.
“It motivates me to want to
keep pursuing this and keep
progressing,” he said.
While Gray has spent a lot of
the year watching and learning
from the other full-time
dancers, he has had the opportunity
to perform in each of the
RNZB’s national productions
this year.
This includes Bold Moves,
Black Swan, White Swan and
Tutus on Tour 2019.
“I never expected to get into
the RNZB or knew where dancing
would take me but I am
truly grateful to keep dancing
and to work with the RNZB.”
He said one of the biggest
transitions moving from the
New Zealand School of Dance to
the RNZB is managing his dayto-day
physical routine outside
of his six-hour weekday rehearsals
with the company.
“You have to keep yourself
physically in shape . . . in the
company you are expected to
look after yourself more,” Gray
said.
He first started training in
ballet at the age of eight before
realising he wanted to dance
professionally at the age of 14.
Gray said he would like to
encourage more people to dance
in general – but particularly for
other boys his hope is they will
try a range of physical sports

from a young age.
Gray said while he did get
picked on for doing ballet when
he was younger – it never came
from a place of malice.
“These young kids just didn’t
really understand what I was
doing.
“By the time I took up
full-time training the majority
of people who knew me knew
what I did and had a lot of
respect for me for moving away
from home . . . they were almost
envious I had something I
wanted to do.”

Woodcote resident charmed by a friendly
village and gorgeous gardens
Nell Riordan, a proud townhouse
resident at Ryman Healthcare’s
Woodcote Retirement Village,
loves the community spirit and
easy access to shopping areas
from her home.
She has been in the village
for nearly three years and has
a neatly adorned living and
kitchen area that leads out to
beautiful paving and a very wellmaintained
private garden.
Given her hands are arthritic she
no longer drives, but she does
keep a mobility scooter in her
garage for easy trips down to The
Hub Hornby and other services in
the area. As an avid reader she is
happy that the village van makes
regular trips to the library as well
as other outings further aeld.
She lived in Rolleston then in
Wigram, with her family, before
her daughter let her know about
the option of townhouses at
Woodcote. She loved that when
she moved in the townhouse had
been completely refurbished and
that the garden was ready for her
to make her own mark.
“People are surprised how
spacious it is. We’ve got a big
pantry and everything that goes
with it, including a dishwasher
and oven. I still bake because I
can. I share the baking with the
kids usually – the family.”
She says she also loves the
easy access the village provides
to family and friends who want
to visit. Her daughter and
son, Donna and Matthew, who
both live in Christchurch are
frequent visitors.
She also has just had a visit
from her younger sister, who lives
on the West Coast, where Nell
was born. She was only a tot when
she and her parents moved to
Little River, the beginning of her
life in Canterbury.
She and her husband, Michael,
who passed away 10 years ago,
went on to raise a family and
also enjoyed living in Nelson
Nell enjoys her private garden at Woodcote Retirement Village.
for a period before returning to
Christchurch.
Nell found it a bit lonely being
by herself in her Rolleston
home. But since her arrival at
the village she says she hasn’t
looked back. She has made
plenty of friends and enjoys the
regular Happy Hours where
she can have a wine or beer
with good company.
Nell also enjoys participating in
Triple-A exercise classes, part
of an activities programme that
residents can choose to join in.
She likes a cup of tea before she
begins and says the tness
programme is sometimes busy
enough that she contemplates
another cup of tea afterwards.
Triple A is run by instructor
Carol, who has other talents,
Nell says. Every now and
then Carol runs a cooking class
where everyone brings ingredients
and joins in re-creating the
latest recipe.
Nell likes the open spaces in
and around Woodcote. She enjoys
the fact the village gardener
keeps her private garden space
looking nice, so she can relax. She
also received new paving in the
garden space.
“I usually sit out there (in the
garden) because it gets the sun.
I put my sunglasses on and read.
I do read a lot.”
The landscaped gardens stand out
at all times of year but particularly
in spring and summer when the
owers are blooming, and the
leaves have just unfurled.
The village amenities include a
library, dining room, lounges,
indoor bowls, pétanque court and
hair salon. There are also outings
and occasions for the residents to
enjoy. “We’re like a big family here
really, because we’re a relatively
small village.
“The staff are excellent. We’ve
just been on a trip to Hanmer – we
had a lovely day. We’ve also been
on the train to Kaikoura, and had
a meal. We go out a lot.”
Village Manager Liz Hampton
says Nell has been happy to
show off the village to prospective
residents. She has helped
with some lifestyle anecdotes
when regular Sales Advisor
Susie Alayne was asked if
someone is able to talk from a
resident’s perspective.

C olour your wardrobe
with fresh shades
of spring
Spring is proving to be an exciting time at The
Hub Hornby, with new stock arriving daily in their
extensive range of fashion stores.
Gorgeous shades of pink, yellow and green, to
name a few, are starting to brighten up the racks,
with something there to suit everyone.
A new trend being seen this season is skirts, pants,
jackets and blouses in matching fabrics, so you can
put together your own dress, suit or jumpsuit. This
also makes it much easier if you are a different size
on your upper and lower body, as you can get a
perfect fit with different-size garments.
Linen is another strong fashion trend this spring,
with the ever-popular neutral colours showing
up, as well as some brighter shades for a more
vibrant look. With a strong focus on sustainability
in fashion, many stores are stocking fashion
garments in natural fibres like this, making it a win
both for you and for the environment.
Blazers are another top pick for the change of
season. These are perfect with jeans and sneakers
or worn over a maxi dress for an on-trend look.
Belts and scarves are popular and versatile
accessories for spring and right through to
summer. Scarves can be worn tied at the neck,
thrugh the belt loops on your jeans, as a hair
turban, or a ribbon on a hair-up, on your handbag
.... the list is endless! Belts can be versatile too,
adding colour and personality to jeans, dresses,
skirts or over blazers.
Want help with your shopping? Need some new
ideas for your wardrobe? Why not get The Hub
stylist Vicki involved?
Imagine walking into a changing room that is
already full of things in your size, colourings
and style, getting everything you need to build a
capsule wardrobe in just a couple of hours. Plus,
everything you try on is magically in your budget ....
With Vicki’s trained eye and understanding of
fashion trends, you can have your wardrobe
ready for spring. Sessions are available from just
$60, so check out beautyandstyle.co.nz for more

Redevelopment
almost complete
at Hornby High
After many months of demolition, site clearing and
construction the redevelopment of Hornby High
School is nearing completion, with the second stage of
the project – three new learning hubs – being finished
and students moving in just prior to the Term 3 holiday
break.
Each hub is designed to accommodate 200 students,
with the flexible, innovative design allowing for different
teaching and learning activities. As suggested by
Ngai Tahu, each one has been named for a bird that is
found in the Hornby area – they are Tieke, Mohua and
Riroriro.
The finishing touches are being made to the covered
laneways between the buildings, which provide
space where students can linger with friends between
classes.
“We’re thrilled with the learning hubs, but there’s still
plenty to do,” says principal Robin Sutton.
The new learning hubs are designed for different teaching and learning activities. The soon-to-be-demolished boiler chimney
can be seen in the background.
“Still to come are a half basketball court and an outdoor
performance stage, as well as landscaping to be
completed.”
The long-awaited demolition of the last of the school’s
old buildings will take place progressively over Term
4, and will see the disappearance of a familiar Hornby
landmark, the boiler house and chimney, which have
stood there since 1975.
Neighbouring Hornby Primary School will reap some
benefit from the high school’s redevelopment, too.
Classrooms that were brought to the Hornby High
campus in 2014 to accommodate Year 7 and 8 students
are to be refurbished and transferred to the
primary school site.
All work is scheduled to be completed by February 10,
2020.
The redeveloped Hornby High has been designed to
accommodate a roll of 800, with the roll currently
standing at just below 700, Robin says.
“Parents from the local area are choosing to send their
children to Hornby High, and with fewer out-of-zoners
coming, the Ministry projects we should be able to
cope with an increasing roll.”
Deputy secretary sector enablement and support at
the Ministry of Education Katrina Casey says they routinely
work with schools as they manage the schooling
network.
“School boards are required to consult with their
school community, and neighbouring schools about
enrolment scheme proposals,” she says.
The Hornby High School enrolment scheme has been
in place since January 2019. Hornby High School year
9-13 enrolment zone (Uru Manuka) includes Hornby,
Gilberthorpe, South Hornby, Wigram, Templeton and
Yaldhurst primary schools. St Bernadette’s School is
also included in the Hornby High School zone.

Expert watchmakers
repair iconic clock
Thanks to Ilam Watchmakers a clock,
which prior to the earthquakes had provided
the time for Christchurch residents
from the former railway station, will again
fulfil its role.
When the owners of the
newly opened Riverside
Market wanted to
install the iconic
clock at the
market, they
approached
Geoff and
Michelle
Butler of
Ilam Watchmakers
for
help.
One of the
original dials
that were
retained is already
installed inside the
market. It has been fitted
with a new up-to-date GPS
movement sourced from overseas. In the
coming weeks, another dial will be positioned
on the exterior, Geoff says.
The team of seven watchmakers and four
watch technicians, along with the four admin
staff, are no strangers to this type of
repair – having already repaired not only
the Christchurch Arts Centre clock but
the Blenheim clock tower as well. They
are currently in the process of repairing
the Timaru Council town clock too.
Geoff and Michelle, who
started the business
18 years ago, say
they can repair
“the majority
of watches
and clocks
– including
The former antiques”.

RICCARTON HIGH SCHOOL Te Kura Tuarua o Pūtaringamotu
Technology the focus for innovative teaching & learning
Riccarton High School’s
deputy principal Lisa Heald
is brimming with ideas for
enhancing students’ learning,
particularly by focusing on new
technology. This year she has
had the opportunity to share
and expand her thinking with
other like-minded educators as
a member of the international
BOMA educational fellowship.
The 10-member group from
Christchurch is being funded
by Christchurch International
Airport, with the organisation
keen to promote “innovation,
technology and exponential
thinking”, Lisa says.
“The fellowship is about
nurturing innovative education
in Christchurch and developing
teachers so we can transform learning,” she
says.
“A key focus is on what’s happening with
technology and the rapid changes that are
taking place, and what these mean for young
people and their future.”
The group meets monthly for discussions and
workshops, while earlier this year they took
a trip to the United States, where they visited
innovative schools, the IDEO design company,
Google X and Stanford University, spending two
days at the university’s design studio.
During the year each group member was
also required to develop a project with an
exponential technology component, and for Lisa
and her students this was the establishment
of the school’s Media and Advertising Division,
or MAD. Through this, the students learn how
to use the various social media platforms in a
positive way to inform, promote and celebrate
the school community and its activities.
“Unlike some other schools where the use of
social media is blocked during school hours,
Riccarton High School has embraced it.” Lisa
says.
“All today’s students are using it – it’s
part of their lives now, so for us it’s about
understanding it.”
MAD is developing a partnership with JIX, a
Christchurch organisation that specialises in
technology and experiential marketing.
“This opportunity allows us to network
with enterprising businesspeople to bring
technological thinking into the school, and
through this teaching and learning we can
create the future with the intention to make the
world a better place,” Lisa says.
STudeNTS SHOWCASe THeIR SkILLS IN MuSICAL SOIRee
The Lyttelton Arts Factory
provided the ideal venue for
Riccarton High School’s annual
senior music students’ Musical
Soiree, which they presented
there on September 14.
Head of department, Anne-
Marie Plummer, says the 40
students involved play a full
range of instruments to a
high standard, and the event
gave them the opportunity to
perform in a theatre, which was
transformed into a “jazz-like
cabaret venue” for the occasion.
“The idea is to give the students
the experience of performing in
a more real and genuine venue than at school –
a more adult performance setting,” Anne-Marie
says.
The repertoire included a wide selection of
numbers across jazz, contemporary and R&B
genres, and the performance received a positive
and enthusiastic response from the full house
of family and friends.

Lisa Heald middle row right. Front left is David Clifford of the
university’s design school.
The students delighted the audience with their musical prowess.
As well as being a showcase for their musical
talents, the soiree was also an opportunity for
the students to dress for the occasion, and they
all looked “smart and classy”, Anne-Marie says.
She was thrilled with her students’
performance, and the many positive comments
on the school’s Facebook page also showed the
audience felt the same.
Whare to enhance inclusive atmosphere at RHS
Teachers and staff at Riccarton
High School continue to
promote a welcoming and
inclusive whānau atmosphere
built on strong and positive
relationships and the Riccarton
Way values, says principal Neil
Haywood.
“As a key part of that we are
introducing a whare (house)
structure where all students will
be placed in one of four whare,”
Neil says.
As he explains, the whare will
be led by a Kaiarataki (Head of
House) and a Kaitiaki (Dean of
House), who will be supported
by a group of whānau teachers.
Students will be connected
to their allocated whare
throughout their time at RHS.
Each whare will consist of whānau groups
comprising around 18 students from Years 9-13,
with one whānau teacher.
“This will allow older students to mentor

younger ones,” Neil says. “In Te Ao Māori this
system of older and younger learning from each
other is referred to as tuakana-teina.”
“The intention is that students will stay with the
same whānau teacher from year to year.”
Improvised theatre, or
Theatresports as it is more
commonly known, has a long
tradition at Riccarton High
School, with annual inter-school
competitions giving students the
chance to pit their creative skills
against other improvisers.
Last month the school team
reached the finals of the senior
interschool competition, which
was held at the Court Theatre,
home of the popular Court

Top tasks for the
spring garden
Words & P hotos Rachel Vogan
Plant & feed
The main jobs to focus on this month are planting,
feeding and weeding. In the edible garden, October
is one of the busiest months for sowing and planting,
while in the flower garden numerous bedding plants
should be planted out. It is the right time to fertilise
everything from lawns and flowerbeds through to fruit
trees and garden borders.
Weeds
Keep a close eye on the weeds – they’ll be out in force
now the soil has warmed, so tackle them by handweeding,
hoeing or spraying before they take control.
Once pulled out, weeds can be left to shrivel and die
in the sun, or add young ones to the compost heap.
Weed spray is an easy way to control larger garden
areas, driveways or along berms. Find one that suits
you and your garden, but don’t delay – now’s the time
to deal with them. Once garden beds are clear, add a
layer of mulch to keep more weeds from springing up.
Wildflowers
Wildflowers are easy to sow: simply scatter the seeds
on bare, cultivated soil, water lightly and walk away.
They will fill in bare empty gaps and spaces, and the
birds, bees and other beneficial insects love them,
boosting both honey production and pollination. Phacelia
is popular with honeybees and sets seed readily,
so is almost certain to pop up again next season.
Citrus
Prune back and fertilise citrus over the next month or
two, ensuring you pick any remaining fruit first. Aim
to reduce the overall size of the bush and open up the
centre of the plant to allow more light in and air to circulate.
Pruning will encourage plants to push out new
growth, flowers and next season’s fruit. Fertilise with
citrus fertiliser twice a year, once in spring and again
in autumn – not too much. A drench with a seaweed
tonic will give the plants a welcome boost too. Add
mulch around the base of the plant to enable the soil
to retain moisture and ensure citrus is well watered
over summer, as this is when the plants are working to
produce next season’s fruit.
Lawns
New lawns can be established this month. Whether
you’re sowing seeds or laying an instant lawn, prepare
the soil carefully in advance by cultivating and levelling
it to ensure there are no slumps or hollows where water
can sit and pond. Fertilise the ground and rake it in.
(You can reward existing lawns with an application of
lawn fertiliser too.) Next, either lay the turf or scatter
seed evenly over the area, being careful to get a good
coverage. Don’t be tempted to mow lawns too low; this
does more harm than good. Lawn clippings are not
suitable for mulch. The piles get too hot, become slimy
and cause disease problems, so put them in your
compost bin.
Vegetables
Sow seeds of beans, eggplant, capsicum, radish,
carrot, tomato, cucumber, courgette, sweet corn and
chilli. Plant out main crop potatoes now, along with
yams. Both need a well-dug soil in a warm sunny spot,
and remember to blend in potato food prior to planting.
For potatoes already in the ground and growing,
mole up (mound up) once the foliage appears through
the soil. This encourages a bigger harvest and keeps
sunlight off the crop as they develop. Plant out seedlings
of celery, spring onion, cabbage, cauliflower, kale,
pak choi, broccoli and beetroot. Stake broad beans
and peas to keep them from flopping and lying on the
ground.

Sporty SUV
hard to resist
By Ross Kiddie
Price – Skoda Kodiaq RS, $71,990
Dimensions - Length, 4699mm; width, 2087mm; height, 1685mm
Configuration - Four-cylinder, four-wheel-drive, 1968cc, 176kW, 500Nm,
seven-speed automatic.
Performance – 0-100km/h, 7sec
Fuel usage – 7.7l/100km
SKODA
KODIAQ
RS: Sporty
variant
with diesel
engine.
There’s no denying sport utility vehicles are the cars of
choice for today’s buyer, as global sales figures show.
The choice is overwhelming, especially in the mid-size sector.
If family or recreational requirements call for an SUV, but
you want something more towards sporty – then Skoda has
the car for you: the Kodiaq RS.
The Kodiaq has been with us for a year or so now, and lands
here in three variants: an entry-level model at $44,990, a
high-grade Sportline at $64,990, and just recently an RS
model joined the ranks. The RS sits at $71,990 and is characterised
by its flashy looks, inside and out, and high-power
driveline.
Herein lies a secret. Under the bonnet sits a 2-litre diesel
engine, and while you wouldn’t ordinarily expect diesel to
be the basis for performance, you have to remember Skoda
has had many sports models with diesel engines, and it is a
concept the company does very well, even in motorsport.
In the Kodiaq, the turbocharged four-cylinder unit pumps
out 176kW and a feisty 500Nm at the bottom end. The latter
is what makes the RS so special – not only is the specific
output high, maximum torque is available from 1750rpm to
2500rpm, which is where the engine wants to constantly
work. As a result, there is dynamic engine performance, midrange
boost will offer a 4.2sec overtaking time (80-120km/
h), and an off-the-mark time of 7sec to make 100km/h from
a standstill.
Even if you aren’t in a hurry, there is a constant willingness
from the engine that tantalises the driver, and if you take
into account the manufactured exhaust sound, which throbs
constantly, the RS is hard to drive without wanting to give it
some freedom.
There are several drive modes and, depending on which is
activated, the exhaust sound can be encouraged or left in a
more subtle tone. The Kodiaq is also a pretty useful off-roader,
with modes that channel power more usefully through
the four-wheel-drive platform.
There is another element adding spice to the driveline;
power is channelled through a seven-speed direct shift
transmission, and this configuration is one of my favourites.
DSG is more of a manual-type gearbox, although there are
only two foot pedals; the beauty of this is the lack of load
through the transmission, engine power is mostly unimpeded,
and with quick shifts the feeling of performance is
well enhanced.
I took the test car through some tight, hilly roads close to
Sheffield, and although the roads were greasy I felt at ease
in the RS. Grip in the first instance is supplied by sticky Pirelli
Scorpion tyres (235/45 x 20in) and they offer substantial
steering feel along with direct turn-in.
It has to be remembered the Kodiaq has traditional SUV
handling; it sits high at almost 1.7m, and with long-travel
suspension isn’t as nimble as a sedan. However, the spring
and damper rates arrest body movement well, along with the
parameters that allow for high occupant comfort. You would
expect nothing less from this Czech Republic manufacturer,
which has drawn significant build-quality direction from the
Volkswagen group.
Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects the RS offers is
the point-to-point ability. iI will lunge out of corners and blast
without lag through the paddle shift system to the point
where speed needs to be chiselled off. High-grade brakes
take care of that and with the grip naturally associated with
four-wheel-drive the RS feels well attached to the road, and
is dynamic and forceful when asked to respond.
This all from a car that has a vastly different role to play as
well; it is the quintessential mid-size seven-seater that looks
after its occupants in terms of fitment, specification and
safety. At $72k it needs to be well appointed, and it leaves
little to chance.
It also has fuel economy on its side – Skoda claims a combined
cycle average of 7.7-litres per 100km (36mpg).
It takes a very special car to win the New Zealand Motoring
Writer’s Guild Car of the Year Award and the Kodiaq took the
honours for 2017.
The RS adds another ingredient into the equation, and it certainly
captured my attention with its performance, economy
yet practicality all thrown in for good measure.

This stylish four-bedroom home is at the higher end of the price range and is located in Ciaran Close, Kintyre Estate.
Quality the focus for long-established building company
For nearly seven decades now, Enterprise Homes
Ltd has been providing Canterbury families with
smartly designed, high-quality, brand-new homes and
property.
Established in 1951 by builder Ian Renwick as Renwick
Construction, it started trading as Enterprise Homes
Ltd in 1972, and is the longest-established residential
building company active in Canterbury today.
In its formative years, the company built homes under
contract for clients and purchased and developed
land to provide completed house and land packages
ready for the market. These business streams were
complimented at different periods in the company’s
history when it was a major supplier of government
housing in Canterbury.
Today, the business’s key focus is on designing,
building and delivering high-quality, completed house
and land packages to Canterbury homeowners within
their own subdivisions.
“We design and build high-quality homes in a range
of sizes priced from $415,000 up to $850,000, which
we fully complete and then take to the market,” says
Enterprise Homes general manager, Rob Sloan.
“We have three subdivisions in Christchurch – two
in Yaldhurst and one in Burwood, and all our homes
come as complete packages including window
coverings, flooring, quality appliances, landscaping
and fencing.
“Each home in our subdivisions is unique. They are
designed and sited on their individual sections to
maximise sunlight and indoor/outdoor living. They
offer generous living spaces and are complimented by
designer kitchens and quality bathrooms,” Rob says.
“It’s important to us that our subdivisions have
appealing streetscapes and we avoid having
streets with rows of repetitive house designs. Our
designers work hard to ensure each home has its
own individuality and it contributes well to the in-built
environment.
“Enterprise Homes has gained a solid reputation for
the quality of our workmanship and the delivery of
our after-sales service should any remedial work be
required. This is reflected in our annual sales with
no less than 30 per cent of our orders coming from
repeat clients or client referrals,” he says.
“We even have some third-generation clients, and
many other clients who are in their second or third
Enterprise home.”
With quality being the focus in every aspect of their
home construction, Enterprise Homes consciously
takes a well measured and organised 26 weeks
to complete their homes, whereas many housing
companies try to get homes built in 18 weeks, or under
in many cases, Rob says.
“We give our tradespeople agreed, generous time and
a safe environment to execute their job. This way they
can get it done safely and to the highest standards,
without tripping over other subcontractors.
“Enterprise Homes has been working with our subcontractors
and supply base for many years. During
this time, we have forged many strong and trusting
relationships and we have full confidence in the quality
of workmanship and materials we are provided.
“So, whether you are starting out on the home
ownership journey, or wanting to move into a highquality
home, small through to large, we have the
designs, price points and locations to meet your
requirements. Give us a call on 348 5189, and check
out our website, www.enterprisehomes.co.nz.”

Successful season
for local league club
It has been another tremendous year, both on and off
the field, for the Hornby Rugby League Football Club
president Brent Tomlinson says, with many highlights
for this “big little club”.
“Our junior numbers grew again, with Hornby fielding
at least one team in every grade offered by CRL, if
not two. Every team from 11’s through to Premiers
experienced finals football, with four teams winning
their respective grand finals – 11’s, 12’s,16’s and 18’s.”
The club’s presidents side played an undefeated
season and won the CRL 10-a-side tournament.
“Our premier side had an outstanding season, playing
some very attractive football. They made another
Canterbury Grand final, unfortunately losing the game.
However, their efforts have been recongnised with nine
of them being selected to represent Canterbury in the
National Provincial Competition (Canterbury Bulls),”
Brent says.
The players are: Tevin Arona, James Baxendale,
Regan Stanton, Jordan Coleman, Caius Faatili, Brad

and Caleb Tohovaka.
The Bulls assistant coach is the club’s premier coach

Breakfast Bolognese
Ingredients
• 400-500g Quality Mark beef mince
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 red capsicums, finely chopped
• 1 large brown onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 heaped tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 400g can chopped tomatoes
plus ¼ can of water
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil OR handful chopped
fresh basil
• 1 dessertspoon balsamic vinegar
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 eggs
• 4 pieces of whole grain sour-dough
bread
• 2 tablespoons parsley,
chopped for garnish
• 25g Parmesan for garnish
Method
Heat a splash of oil on medium heat
and add onion, cooking until it becomes
caremelised. Add garlic and cook for a
further minute. Add mince, dried oregano
and dried basil and fry until browned.
(If adding mushrooms and courgette or
any other veges add toward the end of
this stage). Cook until vegetables have
softened.
Add tomato paste and fry for one minute,
then add chopped tomatoes and simmer
over gentle heat until the sauce has thickened
– about 20 minutes. Add balsamic
vinegar and season with salt and pepper
according to taste.
Create four hollows in the bolognese
mixture and drop an egg in each hollow.
Keeping pan on a low-medium
heat, cover pan with lid until the eggs are
cooked through but yolks still runny. It
takes longer to poach the eggs in the bolognese
mixture than poaching in water
so patience is essential. Serve mince and
one egg on toasted sourdough bread and
garnish with chopped parsley.
Chef’s tips
• Boost the breakfast vege and add 1 cup
chopped mushrooms and/or 1-2 small
grated courgettes
• For an even richer sauce add an extra
tin of tomatoes and reduce the sauce
down longer.
• Break eggs into individual pouring
bowls before pouring into the sauce.
• You can poach the eggs seperately then
add to the sauce.
• Use leftover bolognese sauce from the
night before.

Travel bags to suit
every customer’s needs
If you and your family are planning a holiday and need
a new suitcase or two, you can’t do better than browse
through the extensive selection at Just Bagz. Located
in Dressmart Hornby, the store is filled with bags of
every type, the main focus being on travel bags for all
budgets and requirements.
Owner/operators Graham and Julieann Griffiths have
extensive experience in the industry and can advise
customers on the right bag for their needs. The range
includes quality luggage from leading manufacturers
such as Samsonite, Eminent, Riccardo and Tosca,
which are available in a wide selection of colours,
designs and sizes.
For example, the new Tosca range, which has just arrived,
includes a very attractive blue, a pretty shade
of peach, as well as red, white, black and a stylish
leopard-skin print.
When selecting luggage, customers have the choice of
hard or soft types, and this comes down to personal
preference, Graham says. He also points out that
modern luggage is now much more user-friendly, with
90 per cent of bags now having four wheels, making
them very easy to manoeuvre and transport. For
security, the majority of today’s bags also have built-in
TSA locks.
Just Bagz also has a range of travel accessories
including locks and adaptors, passport holders and
luggage labels.
Backpacks are always popular with travellers, and Just
Bagz has a wide selection of these – adult sizes in various
styles, sizes and colours, and children’s styles with
novelty designs of their favourite cartoon characters.
Also on display are wallets, shoulder bags and handbags
in both leather and man-made materials, in a
wide range of prices.
So, call in and have a chat to Graham or Julieann. They
will be very happy to offer advice on the right luggage
and accessories for your travel needs.

Welcome relief
for allergy sufferers
Many of us are happy to see the arrival of spring and
the warmer weather, but for hay fever sufferers, the
new season may not be so welcome. For them, spring
and summer can mean sore, irritated eyes, sneezing
and blocked noses, sinus infections, tiredness
and poor sleep, which can all add up to time off from
school and work, and reduced performance when sufferers
do attend.
And with one out of every five New Zealanders suffering
from allergic rhinitis, that’s quite an impact.
However, help is at hand thanks to the South Island
Allergy Service. Based at Riccarton Clinic Medical
Centre, 6 Yaldhurst Road, their team of highly experienced
and qualified specialists offers a technique
called desensitisation or immunotherapy. This encourages
the body to build up tolerance to whatever sparks
the allergic reaction.
The first step is skin-prick testing, an almost painless
process to identify exactly which allergen sets off your
reactions. Then, the desensitisation process begins,
usually at home and as early as possible before the
hay fever season begins in earnest.
In addition to hay fever, the Allergy Service team uses
this technique to treat many other concerns such as
food allergies and intolerances, which are common
and can be life-threatening. Some symptoms such as
hives, eczema, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea are
obvious, but other symptoms, especially in children,
can be confused as general eczema, reflux or colic.
Testing and accurate diagnoses can put parents’
minds at rest, and immunotherapy can begin a gentle
process to reduce the allergic reaction.
Other allergens can be found in the air that we
breathe. Dander from the much-loved family pet, dust
mites and mould can result in rashes, swollen eyes
and asthma. Trying to avoid these triggers is a great
solution, but not always possible, so again, accurate
diagnoses will help determine just what is the cause
and what can be done to minimise symptoms.
To find out more about their services and this effective
and potentially life-changing technique, call (03) 361
0400 or visit www.allergyservice.co.nz
Riccarton Clinic’s purpose-built premises at Church Corner.
Modern healthcare in two different settings
The third-busiest medical facility in Christchurch,
Riccarton Clinic at Church Corner has been providing
GP services and urgent medical care for almost three
decades, treating thousands of patients every year.
The continued growth of the clinic prompted the purchase
and re-modelling of a nearby residential property,
which was transfomed into a general practice suite.
Acccording to the clinic’s general manager Mark Darvill
it is “deliberately quite different from our existing,
purpose-built facility”.
With its period features, the charming mid-century
building, located at 20 Brake Street, creates a calm environment
for both medical staff and patients.
The original wallpaper and Axminster carpeting were
retained where possible and beautiful rimu flooring has
also been exposed and lovingly restored. Adding to the
ambience, are the desks, beds and other items of furniture
sourced by the Riccarton Clinic staff to fit with the
peaceful, period style.
“it’s like stepping back in time.” Mark says. “The look and
feel of the property invokes a calmness and wonder in
everyone who visits.”
Patients are offered the convenience of four carparks
and a disabled parking space, ramped access at the
rear, and additional parking nearby. The beautiful gardens
feature many original roses (some over 50 years
old), established camelias and other shrubs. Indeed, the
garden won a prestigious Community Board award two
years running.
The facilities at Riccarton Clinic’s Church Corner site,
which deals with both scheduled appointments, and
urgent care without appointments between 8am and
8pm, were purpose-built to provide health care in a
modern, clinical setting. In contrast, the GP rooms at 20
Brake Street offer up-to-date health care, 9am to 5pm,
in an atmosphere of old-fashioned charm.
To book an appointment at either site, or to find out
about all the services offered by the Riccarton Clinic,

Regional holidays
in Europe
a popular choice
Bookings for the 2020 holiday season are well underway
at House of Travel in Hornby, with a strong trend
towards regional trips in Europe.
“More of our customers are choosing to spend three
or four weeks in one European country, rather than
visiting several countries in one trip,” says business
owner Paula Waldeck.
Popular countries for these in-depth holidays include
Croatia and Italy, she says.
“For example, the Puglia region in Italy, which is a real
‘foodie’ area, is an up-and-coming destination, and we
can arrange for our customers to stay in traditional
Trullo houses.”
There are also walking and cycling trips available in
Italy, where visitors can enjoy the beauty of the Italian
countryside at a leisurely pace, or for those wanting
to explore via a faster mode of transport, small group
Vespa tours are available.
Another increasingly sought-after holiday option is
cruising, Paula says, with Croatia high on the list of
preferred options. There are seven-night cruises on
small ships accommodating just 40 passengers. They
visit a different Adriatic island every day, such as Hvar,
Korchula and Mljet, where passengers can explore the
area and sample the local delicacies.
“Cruises leave from either Dubrovnik or Split, and
we can put together an island-hopping itinerary that
will give customers a wonderful cruising experience
around this beautiful country,” she says.
South Pacific cruising is becoming increasingly popular
too, with cruises sailing around New Zealand and
Australia, allowing people the opportunity to sample a
cruise before taking a longer one further afield.
“The added benefit of a cruising holiday, of course,
is that it caters for all generations – everyone finds
plenty to enjoy on a cruise ship,” Paula says.
After slipping down the destination list in recent years,
Greece is on the way back up, with many people
choosing to spend time there for some R&R after a
busy itinerary in Europe, Paula says.
“Again, we can put together an island-hopping itinerary
with travel via the high-speed ferries, giving our
customers the opportunity to take in the sights of the
popular Greek islands such as Santorini, Mykonos,
Rhodes and Crete.”
Closer to home, places like Fiji and Bali are experiencing
massive growth in visitor numbers.
“Our customers know these destinations very well,
what type of accommodation they prefer, such as a
villa or resort, and they know they get good value for
money,” Paula says.
House of Travel Hornby recently celebrated its fifth
year in business, and Paula and her team thank customers
for their ongoing support and look forward to
organising many exciting and memorable holidays
over the next five years and beyond.

Wycola Hair Design
New hair salon owner back where she started
For experienced hairdresser Heather Jackson, her 35-year career has
come full circle. This week she has taken over the ownership of the
Wycola Avenue salon where she started her apprenticeship all those
years ago.
Originally called the Jon Salon, the business has relocated twice
within the shopping strip in Wycola Avenue, Hei Hei, with the
name being changed to Wycola Hair Design. The most recent
move to new, refurbished premises was in 2017.
The previous owner, who had the business for 15 years,
has retired, giving Heather the opportunity to go back to
her original workplace as the proud owner. Her extensive
experience in the hairdressing industry has included working in
and managing salons for 16 years in the Papanui area, and the
last 10 years in Hornby.
Her skills and passion for her craft have gained her a long list of
loyal clients, who have followed her from salon to salon, and she is
thrilled to welcome them, and new clients to Wycola Hair Design.
“Clients become like your family,” says Heather. “I have seen them grow up
and now I do their children’s hair too.”
Her part-time stylist Robyn has worked in the salon for eight years and also has a loyal clientele. Both
of them offer the full range of hairdressing services, including cuts, colouring, perms, sets, styling and
blow-waving.
“I love what I do, and I’m excited to now be running my own salon. It was the right time to do it,”
Heather says.

HEALTH & AWARENESS
Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
WESTERN NEWS
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham
sees clients with a range of symptoms but
many of their middle-aged and senior clients
visit complaining of pain in one or both hips.
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests
that a major part of the pain could be due
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason
for the pain may be the muscles around the
joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a back
muscle could also be the cause, as shown in
the image.
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year old
client with severe arthritis who walked with a
stick, told her, “I will end up in a wheelchair,
I cannot put any weight through my right leg
due to pain in my hip and buttock”. “Within
4 treatments, she was walking with her stick
but without the severe pain,” says Ietje. “The
arthritis was one of the factors that made her
muscles spasm but the other was that older
people move less and the flexed position
the hip is in when we sit is particularly bad
for the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that
although the client was 89 and could have
been “given up on” or told to live with the
pain, she made a difference to her health and
wellbeing.
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques
Hip muscle that causes hip pain
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation
techniques) are used to release the muscles.
The client also gets a home exercise program
designed to mobilize and stretch the hip,
strengthen the important core muscles and
increase general strength and balance. They
teach a movement sequence that stretches
the hip in all directions whilst the client is
able to lie safely on their bed, perfect for
older or less mobile clients.
In many cases having the muscles released
and being taught how to maintain it, is
enough to stay on top of the problem. If
severe arthritis is the underlying cause, some
maintenance therapy may be necessary, but
that is often more affordable and, for older
patients, better tolerated than surgery. In
very few treatments the client will know if
it is going to work for them or not, without
financial commitment.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
A natural remedy for good health
Black Seed oil is often referred to as “The Remedy
for all things.” The Prophet Muhammad called it “a
remedy for every illness except death.” Black seed
oil is extracted from black cumin seeds (Nigella
sativa) & has been used therapeutically for over
3,300 years, since its first reported discovery in
King Tutankhamun’s tomb. For thousands of years
it has been used by practitioners of Ayurvedic &
Chinese traditional medicine for an endless list of
conditions, from migraines to diabetes & cancer.
Since 1959 scientists have carried out over 600
peer review studies proving many of its remarkable
health benefits. It has been shown to be medicinally
very effective against various illnesses including:
cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, inflammatory
conditions, infertility, neurological & mental illness
as well as various infectious diseases due to bacterial,
fungal, parasitic, & viral infections. According
to the “National Institute of Health” superbugs
are becoming a significant public health risk
as they are virtually impossible to treat. In the
USA an increasing number of hospital patients
are developing infections from superbugs with
more than 90,000 of these patients dying every
year. Researchers at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical
College wanted to confirm the benefits of black
seed oil against these superbugs compared with
common antibiotics. According to the study,
“out of 144 strains of superbugs tested, most of
which were resistant to a number of antibiotics,
97 were inhibited by the black seed oil. Microbes
or micro-organisms have been linked to most
disease & there are few things known to be
as effective against them as the black seed oil.
Croatian scientists studying mice with cancers
found that the phytochemicals in black seed oil
resulted in a 52% decrease in tumor cells. Diabetes
drugs can have numerous side effects but research
by the “Indian Council of Medicine” found that
black seed oil helps regenerate pancreatic cells &
decreases elevated serum glucose in both type 1 &
type 2 diabetes.
Amazing Herbs in the USA produce the original
& #1 selling organically sourced premium black
seed oil. When looking at unbiased reviews of
this oil on the internet it is amazing to see the
incredible results people are getting with it.
Comments like: miracle product, this product is
amazing, it works!!! It really works! are common.

These local skin experts are home to a machine
that is sweeping the globe. This machine is based
on LED technology and offers eleven beauty and

LED was invented by NASA as they were
looking for a light source to grow plants in space,
from this they found that it had amazing skin
cell rejuvenation and it wasn’t long before LED
infrared was used in hospitals around the world.
Doctors then noticed patients started looking
younger whilst under a program of RED LED
light treatments after their surgery and injuries,
which led them to study colour. It was found that
skin cells recognise colour and that each colour
has a job to play in the performance of the living
skin cell.
