Guest Speaker: Margie Thomas from Honey Bliss (pictured above) uses Kinesiology or muscle testing to assess imbalances and sensitivities in the body. Imbalances can be chemical, emotional or toxicity. Margie also uses acupressure points. She makes up her own testing vials as NZ food, pollen etc. are different from the rest of the world. Margie rebalances some food groups (like nightshade group of tomatoes, potatoes and peppers) patients can then tolerate and eat some of these foods.

Editor’s Piece
Well Christmas is really upon us now, the decorations are up in town and it is starting to look quite festive. Our Christmas party is on the 14th December which is the last Rotary meeting for the year. We start back in January on the 23rd with our opening BBQ. Then we have Waitangi Day holiday on the 8th February, so it will be a quiet start to the New Year for Rotary. I am sure I speak for everyone when I say that 2020 will be a year we are all glad to leave behind us, for many reasons, let’s hope 2021 is a more hopeful year and things get back to semi-normal. My thoughts are with those of you who have family overseas and are unable to visit them over the coming summer.
