NEW STUDIES 1
The Kyolic Garlic & Aerobic Fitness Trial
Arterial stiffness is a cardiovascular risk factor, which increases naturally with age. Kyolic garlic has been shown to improve the flexibility of arteries, and slows down blood flow, which may improve oxygen uptake, associated with aerobic fitness.

Update 31 Jan 24: Recruitment for this Study has now been completed. We are analysing the data and writing up results for publication. Watch this space for updates.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and the second leading cause of cancer deaths (25%) in Australia. One-in-Seven Australian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer by the age of 85, with more than 3,300 men dying each year. There is a need for better treatment, combined with reliable assessments of treatment effectiveness.
The National Institute of Integrative Medicine (NIIM) is conducting a Prostate Cancer Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Study, led by Investigators Dr Donald Murphy (Emeritus Urological Surgeon, photo), A/Prof Karin Ried (Director of Research, NIIM), and Prof Avni Sali (Director, NIIM).

Integrative Mental Health: EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy is a powerful treatment for addressing trauma-related disorders, such as anxiety, depression and PTSD. We all need practical skills and strategies to help get us through difficult challenges. For example, learning about boundaries, communication and assertive skills. However, there are times when talk therapy alone is not enough. What do you do if underlying distressing memories won’t go away? What might be lurking in your subconscious mind?
The Importance of Cardiovascular Function Testing in the Prevention of Sexual Health Conditions, Including Erectile Dysfunction
The interrelationship between cardiovascular health and sexual function is well-established, with one of the most significant connections being the relationship between heart function and erectile dysfunction (ED). ED, defined as the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance, is often an early marker of underlying cardiovascular pathology.
Rife Frequency Study
This study uses Electro-Magnetic-Frequency Therapy (EMF), for the treatment of cancer and/or pathogens, and Circulating Tumour Cell (CTC) blood testing to assess EMF treatment effectiveness.
The Cognitive Preservation Study
This study aims to analyse the effect of Red Light Therapy, with or without additional Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, on cognition and brain health in people with mild and moderate cognitive impairment.
The Gluco-Metabolism Study
12-week randomised placebo-controlled trial investigating the tolerability and effectiveness of the Nutrition Care Gluco-Metabolism herbal Formula on blood glucose levels.
