On this page, you will find links to information about natural health including natural alternatives for both treating and preventing infectious diseases. Western medicine is the dominant form of healthcare in developed countries but it is by no means the oldest modality nor is it the most evidence-based for many chronic conditions.
In making your healthcare decisions for your family, it would pay to investigate all the options with an open mind and to consult with more than one practitioner to find one whose philosophy of healing and health maintenance agrees with your own.

Australian Links

| Australian Homoeopathic Association | The largest and only national association of professional Homoeopaths in Australia, with branches throughout the country. Lists homoeopaths and explains what homoeopathy is. |
| Chiropractors’ Association of Australia | The AVN has removed the link to the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia (CAA) at the request of Dr Matthew Fisher, CEO. It appears that under Dr Fisher’s leadership, the CAA no longer supports an individual’s right to make free and informed health choices and instead, they have decided to formulate a policy that is supportive of mass vaccination without considering individual susceptibilities, risk factors and wishes. The AVN’s experience over the last 22+ years has been that most chiropractors would disagree with this policy and therefore, we suggest that anyone seeking the care of a chiropractor should contact local practitioners and request their stance on health choice before making an appointment. |
