Murray in his late 50’s came to the clinic for a number of health problems which included stress and weight problems. He advised Wayne that his cholesterol was 8.39
His HDL was low and Triglycerides were high. Murray was given a slightly modified diet and was started on a gentle exercise to improve circulation and reduce body fat.
Please see your health care professional before exercising with high cholesterol
Wellness program was also instigated and after 4 months he has lost 8 kg. His cholesterol level is 5.1, his HDL’s are improving and his triglycerides are decreasing and he feels better in himself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was aged 43 when I first came in to the clinic complaining of tiredness. I had previously been told my cholesterol was fine but had a history of heart disease in the family.
A haemaview test was performed which is a live blood analysis and it showed a large thrombocyte aggregate in my blood, along with a large fatty acid deficiency and B12 Folate deficiency. My gut function was not good and my liver was under stress from a large amount of toxins in the blood from my working environment.
The first course of treatment was a strong antioxidant and essential fatty acids to break down the thrombocyte aggregate, to reduce the atherosclersosis progression and the risk of heart attack.
The diet I was given was to assist the elimination of toxins from my body.
After 3 months the heamaview test was repeated and there was no sign of the large thrombocyte aggregate. The red blood cells still showed a small fatty acid and B12 Folate deficiency so maintenance of these deficiencies was continued. My risk of heart attack was now greatly reduced.
I continually have rechecks six monthly and continue with regular acupuncture to help with my bad back
Thankyou Wayne

I first came to the Hervey Bay Wellbeing Centre in October 2006 after seeing the adverts on TV. Before then I didn’t know that the centre existed.
I came as I was feeling constantly tired and ill, mostly with Irritable Bowel, Reflux and Diverticulitis.
I was also suffering with Sinus problems, aching joints, headaches, difficulty sleeping, mood swings and constant weight gain, no matter what I did, I just couldn’t lose the kilos.
After my first consultation I felt as if a weight had been lifted and for the first time actually had hope that there was light at the end of the tunnel
The centre impressed me by simply giving me hope…
2 months down the track I am feeling much happier, no more gut pain or associated problems. Only minimal weight loss but I’m confident that will happen.
I started seeing results within a week of starting my program and after a month noticed a remarkable improvement.
I have received the most benefits from the Detox foot bath. I just can’t believe the amount of rubbish it removes, it just has to be great for my system. They’re relaxing too.
I was really wowed by the sleep protocol as well. It really works
The centre feels like my home away from home, it’s filled with caring, friendly people who are always ready to help in any way.
I wish I had known about the centre sooner, but now I’m on the right track to health I intend to stay there.
I’ll definitely refer other to the centre. I keep singing their praises to all my friends and family.
Thanks

"When I first saw the website for the Wellbeing Centre, I thought it was too good to be true. I'd been to dieticians and GPs with no success. I couldn't find anyone who could even give me a list of foods to avoid! Since joining only 4 weeks ago, and following Wayne's advice, my life has taken on new meaning. There's no doubt that removing tea, coffee and potatoes from my diet has been difficult and I am still struggling to change the way I shop, but the benefits are already manifesting themselves.
I don't expect this to be a quick fix, but my general health has already improved and it can only get better from here. I'm sure there are a few skeptics out there who think that testimonials are nonsense (and I was one of them), I am a real person who has real problems with IBS and its related issues. I can now leave the house confidently each morning knowing that I'm not going to have an accident. Since being on the programme, I've run into a number of people who have also benefited from the wonderful and caring people at the Hervey Bay Wellbeing Centre. It's working for me - I hope it does the same for you.

I came to the Hervey Bay Wellbeing Centre to improve my health. I had been suffering from headaches, gluten intolerance and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), I had thyroid problems and had gained weight.
After 6 months my IBS is gone, my thyroid is a lot better, I have no headaches and I have lost weight. Plus I have so much more energy now.
Wayne and everyone at the clinic are wonderful, they’re so helpful and friendly.
Thank you Wayne and the team,

“I am enjoying seeing the results of my efforts”
I decided to come to the Hervey Bay Wellbeing Centre after a friend told me how impressed and amazed with what he had learnt. There was a special offer on at the time which I decided to take up. Everyone involved is there to help improve your health. The tests done showed specifically what was wrong with my body and the centre definitely aims to treat the cause of your symptoms instead of just treating the symptoms only.
When talking to Wayne about how my sinuses had felt for many years he fully understood and explained what was happening and why. Previously I had trouble getting the medical profession to understand my feeling of a continual blockage and problem right at the back of my nose. Wayne knew exactly what I was talking about and it was a relief to have someone finally understand how I felt.
My sinuses are improving and draining and relieving the feeling of pressure in my head. The bloating in my stomach has almost gone and my stomach generally feels better. I feel a lot better altogether.
I have lost 4 kilos and my energy levels have increased. People are telling me I look a lot better in the face. A better skin colour and have lost a lot of the puffiness around my eyes. The weight loss has been gradual over two months and I am still losing weight. The look of wellness in the face took about 5 weeks.
Feeling the pressure easing from my sinuses and watching my weight come down has improved my self esteem ad given me more confidence to apply for jobs, made me feel a lot better and able to enjoy everything around me more. I generally feel I have more control over my life, and I am looking forward to seeing the results of my efforts over the next few months.
Thank you to all

“My life has turned around and can only get better.”
My main reason for coming to the Hervey Bay Wellbeing, Anti-Aging & Longevity Centre was to improve my overall health and wellbeing. I wanted to feel good about myself, physically and spiritually.
I am feeling really good now. I have more energy, my bloating has nearly disappeared, flatulence has improved out of sight and I feel so much more comfortable in myself.
Things first started improving after about a month and they keep on improving. Now four months on I feel my life has turned around and can only get better.
All the team at the Hervey Bay Wellbeing, Anti-Aging & Longevity Centre are wonderful, friendly and professional people. I’ve enjoyed coming here, it’s a peaceful place and it makes me feel good. I love to just sit and soak up the energy.
Thanks Alison

“There is no such thing as old age…”
Dear Wayne,
I remember you saying, there is no such thing as old age, and you were right.
As this little book tells you, the bible speaks of a future on earth and our having everlasting life.
I would like you to have that hope.
Thankyou for the understanding and empathy you have shown me.
From Your Grateful
Elderly Patient

“It’s a one stop shop.”
My first appointment was in April this year. I decided to try the Hervey Bay Wellbeing, Anti-Aging & Longevity Centre after, having no results with her doctor and being recommended to Wayne by a family member.
Was suffering with Blisters down throat & oesophagus, which caused a sore throat, not eating and weight loss.
Came in and had an allergy test and then saw Wayne. He explained everything thoroughly and told me he could get results for me…After one month I started noticing improvements, now after 3 months I am feeling really well.
What I really like about the Hervey Bay Wellbeing Anti-aging and Longevity Centre is that the whole team is so friendly. Also Wayne really knew what he was talking about, and got results.
What I love about Hervey Bay Wellbeing, Anti-Aging & Longevity Centre is that everything is in the one place. You don’t have to go here there and everywhere. It’s a one stop shop, from consultations, tests, massages and supplements.
I’d recommend to anyone to come to see Wayne and the team. Anyone who isn’t getting results from their doctors, why not try the natural path. Be preventative for the future…
While it is more expensive than the doctor, it is worth it to have great health… which the doctor could not provide.
And spending a little now and being preventative is better than spending a lot further down the track when the symptoms are much worse…
The doctor was only masking the symptoms, Wayne has fixed the causes… stopping possible chronic disease later in life…Thanks

“Wayne is my guiding angel…”
I had been going to my doctor for some time and found out from tests that I had a hernia. I took tablets for three years and then my stomach started to burn. I changed to a different tablet and the burning got even worse. I ended up going to the doctor persistently, trying to get some relief, but the doctor told me to come only at my appointment time. The receptionist talked to my daughter and recommended that I see a Naturopath.
I went straight away to Wayne Pickstone. He was very busy, but I asked if I could wait. He was extremely caring and said that he would definitely see me. The massage and natural healing was of great assistance. I was also prescribed herbal remedies. I gulped them down to gain further relief from the burning in the stomach. In three days the burning was less and by the fourth day there was no more symptoms and that was twelve years ago.
Wayne also prescribed herbal remedies and supplements for the symptoms for a goiter and now that is under control. A lady I know had surgery for her symptoms and now she has passed away.
I think Wayne is a guiding angel. I don’t think I would still be here now if it wasn’t for Wayne. I can’t say strongly enough how I feel about Wayne and his method of treatment.

“I lost 1 kg after just one week…”
I decided to try the Hervey Bay Wellbeing, Anti-Aging & Longevity Centre after doctors didn’t listen or find a name for my symptoms.
Stepping on the scales after a week and finding that I had lost 1 kg after trying for 6 moths prior without results.
Benefits include no excess or smelly flatulence, weight loss and less sugar cravings, my blood sugar is balanced. It took 1-2 weeks to see these improvements.
I feel a lot less embarrassed of my flatulence problem, plus I feel more confident with weight loss management.
Such simple changes can help so much

“The team at the centre are caring, professional and confidential”
I used to wake up tired and go all day tired, I now wake up and have the energy to do what I want and need to. I am swimming and walking again and I look and feel healthier, stronger and generally better.
I have my energy levels back, I don’t feel exhausted all the time, actually hardly ever now.
My almost constant brain fog has gone, I feel like I should feel, alert and thinking again.
I shop for groceries very differently now, I look for alternatives for myself and my family, and generally we eat much healthier and less than before.
I noticed improvements within 3 weeks and each week the improvements increased.
I would encourage anyone to look at alternative ideas, therapies and seek help with a Naturopath. If you can look at different ideas and better ways to live, at least give it a go, before saying it’s not for you. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
The team at the centre are caring, professional and confidential.
Lorraine listened, looked at me as I spoke and genuinely listened and cared and a hug at the end of the consultation- unexpected but very warm and caring.

“There’s constant support”
Initially I came into the clinic as I didn’t feel completely “well”, not 100%. After talking to Wayne and the team I realised there were probably ½ a dozen thinks that weren’t “right.”
Through a change of diet and by taking supplements I feel great and have tonnes of energy. There were small improvements from the very start and now 6 months later I feel like a completely different woman.
I’ve also learnt that when things do feel “wrong”, I can look at what’s been going on in my life. See what has happened to cause these problems and then make the necessary changes to feel better.
As I’ve progressed through my treatment at the clinic I have also started using the Mind Body Technique and NET’s which I find brilliant, I feel I’m releasing the negatives and becoming a better me.
The team at the clinic are fantastic, there’s constant support and they didn’t mind my phone calls asking “silly” questions.
Thanks

“This puts me in control.”
The professional staff at the HBWC, know what they’re talking about, no beating around the bush!
I’m happy with the whole experience in general. When I started seeing results after just 2 weeks, then I was Very happy.
I am impressed with the results I’ve seen within my self, being able to get my supplements from the one place and the continual education about my body. I find it somewhat fascinating.
I am now starting to feel Normal inside. I like that I know now what I can and can’t, or should and shouldn’t put into my body, it puts me in control. Also knowing what I really should be feeding my daughter.

“I am learning about my body”
The centre is very relaxing and has a calm atmosphere, everyone is friendly and child friendly which is very important.
The day I came you made time to treat my every need and explained everything in full. I am now more relaxed, I take more time out for me!
I am able to make decisions and talk more openly to the people I love.
I am learning about my body and its need and wants.
I started feeling better within one week of starting my program.
I have better decision making, eg I quit my job to improve my family life- and study more, it gave me the power to do this, I am now enjoying my time at home w a lot more, playing with the kids etc.
This has made me a stronger person, mentally and health wise. I know what I need and want and what my family needs as well.
Thank you

“My pain has completely gone”
I have been coming to the Wellbeing Centre since March 05 and when I first had my BIA test I was shocked to see that my cellular age was 104. I wasn’t impressed. I knew I had to do something. Thanks to the team today my cellular age is 64 and I’m 67. I’m very very impressed. I also severely hurt my back gardening and in 3 treatments of their Rapid Pain Relief Program my pain was completely gone.

Cancer Survivor
“Prior to Diagnosis,
I
thought I was Healthy”
Annie P From Hervey Bay
Hi, my name is Annie and I am proud to say I turned 60 last year. Seven months ago I completed a course of radiation and chemotherapy for cancer. Came out of it pretty much a train wreck. Skinny as, dreadful brain fog, weak as water and suffering from what I termed ‘post traumatic stress disorder’. In other words, I felt and looked very, very vulnerable and extremely ill.
I started coming to the Hervey Bay Wellbeing Centre several days after my initial diagnosis. At the time, I respected that orthodox medical treatment was going to address the obvious symptoms of my disease, but I believed I would need some assistance with searching for the cause, addressing this and dealing with the aftermath of conventional cancer treatment. In other words, I needed HOPE that I was not only going to survive, but thrive.
From day one Libby took me seriously and lined up an appointment with Wayne Pickstone. I had heard he was good and had several friends who had recommended him to me in the past. At the time I thought I was pretty healthy as I had always taken a keen interest in my diet and fitness level. It is interesting to note that at this time, I was enjoying life immensely, having travelled around Australia on my own for a year, with a newly acquired qualification and huge interest and practice in art. Life had never been better. My goal from day 1 was to get back to that state of being.
I was scared, confused, teary,
and very weak.
The Wellbeing Centre has addressed not only my physical needs but mental, emotional and spiritual ones as well. I was scared, confused, teary, and very weak.
They carried out numerous tests, the results of which I took a keen interest in and have continued to do so. As I had been a person who baulked at taking even an Aspro, I was pretty confronted with the amount of supplements and treatments that were recommended. It seemed like that nothing in my body was working properly, and guess what, I finally realised that that is what having cancer is all about. My immune system had packed it in, due in part I’m sure to heaps of stress in the past and other things like incorrect nutrition and acquired toxins.
I’d like to say following Wayne’s suggestions and protocols was easy but it was anything but. It required much faith (not blind) in his expertise, determination on my part to be healthy and happy again, huge discipline to carry out his suggestions and most importantly, a realisation on my part that the Wellbeing Centre was here, in Hervey Bay (not Mexico) just for me. How lucky was I.
Today, just seven months later, I am transformed. I have almost never felt better. I respect that it takes time for my body to heal, so have used this time to relax, read, enjoy my home and friends and be, oh so pleased and grateful to be alive. Now, I am ready to do some more travelling, finish my studies, get on with making art, and plan some big adventures for a future I had briefly thought might not happen. Thanks so much Wayne, Libby, Lorraine and the rest of the team for your professionalism in practice, and for your friendship.

Jay’s Journey
“Thankyou for your expertise, dedication & Caring”
Jay Emerick from Dundowran holding her
beautiful home made craft bag
Several years ago we arrived in Hervey Bay to build a new home. I had not long retired from teaching and I had stopped playing hockey because I was in constant pain with my back and, my right leg continually gave way when I was walking or running.
I needed help……………
Arriving at the Wellbeing Centre I introduced myself to Wayne (I had met Wayne briefly in another practice before Hervey bay.) and also met Libby, Lorraine and Clarence. After a full assessment Wayne explained what my tests were showing and what basically had to happen to improve my health – including getting some major dental work done which was critical to allow any other treatments to help.
I have now been following a program (for several years) working with all four members of the team using Naturopathic, Nutrition, Mind Body, Massage and Detox.
I have learnt to listen to my body, to read the signs my body gives, learnt to cleanse my body enabling it to heal and function correctly. I have learnt that years of little problems let go will lead to big problems and these bigger problems take TIME & PATIENCE to reverse and heal.
I have just turned 70 years old and I am so much healthier in myself – body and mind – than when I walked for the first time through the WELLBEING doors. I am back playing tennis, doing heavy garden work, walking, I love my craft work (see my beautiful bag) and occasionally riding my bike and also sewing even when we are travelling.
I am on the 7th rung of a 10 rung ladder and I am really looking forward to the next 30 years of enjoying life, family and friends.
Thankyou and a BIG thankyou to the whole Wellbeing team for your expertise, dedication and your caring attitudes. I will forever be grateful and will definitely invite you to my 100th Birthday.

“I am living again…”
“I’m, a lady in my early 60’s, and I have suffered from arthritic pains for four years before I visited the clinic. My main complaint was unbearable pain in the major joints of my body. After a few simple tests it was revealed that I had a severe gut dysfunction (Pain in the Gut.)
I didn’t ever think that gut problems could cause arthritis. I was given six consecutive treatments of acupuncture and was immediately started on a Wellness program.
The major treatment priority was focusing on how to improve that “Pain in the Gut.” Now 2 months later I am living again, with only limited pain and I am continuing my lifestyle changes that will eventually allow me to regain my new life once again.”

“The centre is very professional”
I came to the Hervey Bay Wellbeing, Anti-Aging & Longevity Centre as they had a special offer on a check up and I felt it was a good opportunity. Overall I feel the centre is very professional.
My digestive system has settled down and is functioning well. My stomach feels more comfortable, I don’t have any more reflux and my bowel motions are good.
John, Hervey Bay, Queensland
----------------------------------------------------
“I Look & Feel Younger”
I have been seeing Wayne for a while now and he suggested I try Mind/ body technique with Libby. I have had two sessions now, and I feel much better after just two treatments.
I am feeling a lot less tired, with much, much more energy. I use to have a rest in the day but now I just keep on going and I feel younger and am working like I was 36 again. I recommend this to anybody
I felt much better with 1 session but heaps with the second. I have lost lots of fluid and even looking younger

“This has given me the drive to better
myself in many areas of my life.”
The Hervey Bay Wellbeing centre has been a great support system for myselfand has been there for me onmany levels. I came to the Hervey Bay Wellbeing Centre approximately 5 years ago over weight, run down, thoroughly exhausted and not to mention depressed. I have attended the Hervey Bay Wellbeing Centre for Naturopathic Assistance, Massage and Mind Body.
The Naturopathic appointments have given me sound advice and many minerals to help me correct my body’s natural balance. This has given me the drive to better myself in many areas of my life. The change in my wellbeing and attitude has helped me improve myself from losing weight to better eating habits and a healthier mental state.
The Mind and Body sessions with Lorraine has given me the ability to manage every day issues and help me through my past experiences. Lorraine’s help has been a major influence in helping me put balance, structure and meaning back into my life.
Lorraine certainly gives you value for money with one of her Mind body sessions which are extremely uplifting and enlightening. I now feel happier, healthier and more rejuvenated. Lorraine makes you feel cared for by listening and talking to you she has helped me to keep more focussed and has a calming effect on me.
The Nadi Steam Massage is the most relaxing and calming massage I have ever had.
All the Hervey Bay Wellbeing Staff are friendly, give helpful service and have a wonderful outlook on life.
Thanks to the team at the Hervey Bay Wellbeing Centre for all your help and guidance.

“At sixty one, I do not takemedication, I use
natural health remedies”
For someone with Fibromyalgia, it’s nothing short of a miracle...
Just a thank you Wayne, many years ago when you were in Gladstone, I came to see you when I was unwell. You put me on a program that at the time seemed daunting, changing a life time of eating habits. Well for years I kept that program going, making a few changes over the years, but the outcome of it was, that migraine headaches and Asthma have never been apart of my life since.
The things you taught me back then remain with me today, at sixty one, I do not take medication I use natural health remedies, and continue to learn more about healthy living.
I found you again in August last year I think it was, as I needed once again to make more changes, and even though, sticking to the diet is hard sometimes, I realize the benefits' far out way the enjoyment for the moment of eating the wrong type of food.
For about four years, I had slid back a little into the old lifestyle, not much, but enough to give me some health issues. So it was good that I found you when looking on the net.
I have learned to recognize signals that my body is sending me when all is not well. And to make the changes that is needed.
I belong to a group in the States of people, mainly women that have fibromyalgia. The internet is such a good tool for sharing with others and making new friends of that group. I am the only one doing well enough that I don't take medication, and my quality of life is so much better.
I often wonder what it would be like if I had not had the knowledge that I have gained from what you have taught me with this illness.
There is a verse in The Bible that says: My people perish for lack of knowledge. How true this is, knowledge is so important in many ways.
Gillian Bullock, Gladstone

Libby’s Journey!!!
Libby would like to tell her story so you can understand that we all didn’t come here healthy and raring to go.
Nearly 10 years ago I made an appointment at the Hervey Bay Wellbeing Centre to see Wayne. I had suffered for countless years with digestive and hormone problems. I was overweight and extremely exhausted.
My diet was unhealthy and I didn’t exercise.
During my first visit my hopes were raised that things could be improved. I undertook many tests which showed severe gut dysfunction and liver problems, my immune system wasn’t working and I had nutrient deficiencies. No wonder I had not felt well, even though all of my medical tests from the doctor were indicating that everything was normal. I think the doctor thought I was a hypochondriac but I just knew that something wasn’t right with my health.
Wayne started me on a protocol to assist my hormones and abdominal discomfort and he introduced me to his lifestyle change diet and it definitely did change my life.
What a difference this made, within 10 days I no longer had digestive discomfort or any abdominal pain. I can now say that this has changed my life forever, because I definitely do not want to go back to the way I was surviving before.
Everyday is now enjoyable as I am no longer in pain; I am not overweight and have so much more energy. I only wish I had discovered true health 20 years ago.
I eventually believed so much in what Wayne was achieving that I became a partner in the company. I now truly live my belief of health and wellness.
