In 2006 Mike Lambert was selected as a member of a proposed EU research team headed by Dr Gabriella Hegyi MD PhD University of Budapest, and in 2007 he participated in the Co-Reach Conference hosted by the Royal Society London.   Co-Reach discussed the possibilities of research collaboration between the E.U. and China.

“We are born into a society that spends more money on the maintenance of its cars and personal appearance than it does on its health!!  What sort of society and level of intelligence is this?” Mike Lambert

What do we do?

We specialise in Complementary and Alternative Medicine the definition of which follows:

“The term Complementary and Alternative Medicine (C.A.M.) refers to any therapy that is not provided by orthodox health practitioners such as doctors, dentists and nurses.  The Cochrane Collaboration defines C.A.M. as a broad domaine of healing resources that encompasses all health systems, modalities, practices and their accompanying theories and beliefs, other than those intrinsic to the politically dominant health systems of a particular society or culture in any given historic period.  C.A.M. is understood to mean therapies that are presented as an option to conventional or Western medical treatment (orthodox).   

For example - when cancer patients choose not to have chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and instead follow a special dietary regime.”

What is generally referred to as Natural - Complementary and Alternative Medicines are in fact therapies of proven or unproven efficacy that have been used both historically and now progressively to promote health and wellness.  More and more of these therapies are gaining credibility as people wake up to the fact that on the basis of cause and effect (if we do this we get this) in many cases they may be clinically verifiable.

Almost on a daily basis revelations regarding the dangers of orthodox medical procedures and pharmaceutical drugs are coming to light, the most recent being the dangerous legacy we now face through the over-use of Antibiotics, has driven many people back towards Natural Medicines and Therapies.  In fact many natural therapies can be more effective than drug-therapy or surgery for some conditions and much, much safer.  

However, mainstream medical care rarely supports non-drug approaches so you should also explore the alternatives before committing yourself to a therapeutic strategy.  You should always discuss your choices with an appropriately qualified and competent practitioner.

In 2008 we were visiting guests at the world famous Peto Institute Budapest and we continue to be supporters of Conductive Education.   At that time we discussed an in-principle but favourable collaboration between the Peto Institute and The Shen Clinic.
