    How I wish I'd come to Melbourne Natural Wellness Clinic for a relaxing massage. I'm thinking…read morearomatherapy, tinkling water features and a nature inspired soothing soundtrack. And a slow calm massage that nearly sends me to sleep. Unfortunately, I have a bad back and was here for solely remedial purposes. And remedial massages hurt. However, I felt so safe in the hands (pardon the lame pun) of my masseuse Tanya that I was able to deal with any discomfort or pain. This is one of those rare places where they really know what they're doing and actually work to reach the root of your problem. I was also given some really great advice on how to alleviate the pain. While at $107 for an hour it isn't cheap, it's well worth paying for. As well as the clinic, Natural Health and Wellness has a yoga and pilates studio.

    So, I signed up for a 25 dollar unlimited week at the yoga / pilates studio across the hall from…read morethe clinic. Let me just say, I've been to one class and I'm already hooked. Yes, the 25 dollar unlimited week is a deal in itself but I'm trying to maneuver a way to pay the difference in fees and extend it for the next 29 days (7 days at $25 or 30 days at $77) The class I took tonight was only forty five minutes long with five people including Sacha, our fabulous guide into the art of flow. She was a great instructor and I'd definitely suggest this dynamic class to any keen yogi's out there. The online sign up system makes organizing your schedule and signing up for classes quick and easy. So.... If your a spiritual gangster, like a clean and welcoming studio conveniently located smack in the middle of the city, make your way here!!!!

    I sought Vagif's treatment for chronic fatigue, and unfortunately paid a huge amount of money for…read morehis services, and after his ongoing guarantees that I was improving and that further treatment would assist, had little to no improvement whatsoever. Vagif essentially does an initial consultation, uses a variety of techniques to form a diagnosis (some based on physical examination, some based on mystical methods by drawing numbers into a grid based on your birthday, some based seemingly on pure "gut-feel") and then quotes you for his treatment plan. He verbally guaranteed that I would see a 40% improvement in my symptoms within 3 months. I should've gotten him to put that in writing. He then put together a comprehensive treatment plan, which centred around the use of extremely expensive supplements manufactured by his own company, Solagran. The remainder of the treatments consist of preparing and taking a large variety of herbal teas, herbal enemas (!), baths, supplements, primitive techniques such as oil pulling (debunked and proven to be garbage), and many other treatments that seem highly dubious and have no proven medical foundation. Vagif's hourly charge is around $450, and the various treatments would have cost in excessive of $3000 if I had continued. Vagif also insists you see his own "nutritionist" who charges $300 per consultation for 2 x 1 hour consultations, and insists you see his own Chinese Doctor, who is the only person charging at reasonable market rates (around $90/hour from memory). Vagif continues to charge his extortionate fee to review the progress, during which he provides further promises and guarantees. He makes minor adjustments such as modifying the amount of water in the herbal tea mixture by 50mls, and leaving it to cool for 14 mins precisely, rather than 12 mins. Not only is Vagif entirely unqualified for treating chronic fatigue, he is willing to charge stunningly high rates for his services, overlook medical facts (he stated that parasites have nothing to do with my condition - which has since been medically proven to be incorrect), give a false sense of hope, prescribe all of his own company's manufactured supplements at unbelieveable prices (e.g. $300 for a bottle of bath oil that lasts 10 baths) and encourage primitive and unproven techniques. In my opinion, Vagif is preying on people with chronic illness. I believe that parts of his treatment plan may contribute towards better general health, but they are not at all tailored towards an individual's condition and have no medical basis. Vagif claims to be a Russian-trained gastroenterologist. It's very difficult to ascertain whether or not this is true. Further to all of this, Vagif and his company have very murky ties in the Opes Prime collapse, which along with the lack of ethics that his "medical" practice engages in, leaves you wondering whether he geniunely has his patient's best interests at heart, or his own hip pocket: http://www.businessday.com.au/business/oh-what-a-tangled-web-we-weave--20080403-238a.html Sadly, I strongly advise you to avoid seeing Vagif at all costs. Go to a real doctor or naturopath.
