THE PERSON BEHIND

EDENIC HEALTH

​

Lulu Langford

A Lifetime of Learning

"Beginning in childhood, while gleaning through nursing manuals and medical books, my quest for truth in health knowledge began very early; in the late 70s as a keen work experience nursing assistant in the local hospital, the daughter of a former nurse, moving into formal training and eventually working as a Remote Area Nurse in Western Australia's Kimberley, I made the exodus to study a variety of Natural  practice methods, becoming an Integrative Health expert (combining nursing/consulting skills  with writing, lecturing, research and product development & a wide range of 'alternative' modalities or fields),  with the guidance and mentorship of many prestigious colleagues along the way.

​

​

After leaving an earlier career in medicine and prior to undertaking studies in what was to become the focal point of my professional life, I began on the pathway to understanding the body as a whole, in every way possible; beginning in herbal medicine & colour therapy which helped to explain how certain plants & minerals correlate to colour & corresponding organs and systems of the body. From here, never quite satisfied, I began a course to better understand the basis & quality of what would eventually become my remedies: organic farming & gardening. Much of this study was done while travelling Australia & overseas.

​

After a short hiatus to have my first baby, I completed my studies in homeopathy & acupuncture. After being encouraged by a GP friend to hang out my shingle, the first practice Pingelly Natural Health Clinic was soon established, with a focus on affordable, ethical & gentle health care. From the outset, despite better results than I dared even hope, my career was fraught with controversy and egotistical opposition - including from my own former peers.

​

Early in private practice, I noticed a few patterns which mirrored what I had noticed in ER & clinical consulting previously) -

​

  • People have forgotten how to connect with their own health and bodies

  • People have handed over their health to strangers in the hope of a quick fix

  • If given opportunity, natural treatments often avoid an emergency or chronic illness

  • Natural measures work well with orthodox medicine if given the opportunity

  • People have stopped taking care of their health, leaving it to chance

  • People ignore their own bodily warnings until minor symptoms develop into dis-ease

  • People have forgotten the wisdom that our forebears had used to live healthy lives

  • Simple measures, if taken early, could prevent the worsening of symptoms

  • Entire generations of vitally families do not require medical care while others depend on it constantly

  • Many people can not afford natural health care because there is no insurance or government cover for it

  • ​

    - the entire ethos of Edenic Health has been to focus on these factors and change the way we view health and our bodies.​ I will never stop learning. In fact, I make it a point to learn something new each day. As the oppositional climate against natural medicine heats up, I find myself moving into an advisory rather than consulting role. That's fine by me; so long as I have a mouth to speak, I will continue to share the truth.
