Expo to hype up therapy options
Multiple sclerosis sufferer promotes benefits of stem cell treatment
RETURNING from radical stem cell treatment in Russia, Palm Cove multiple sclerosis sufferer Lorraine Saipe is now passing on the benefits of alternative therapies with a new wellbeing market this weekend.
The Alternate Health and Wellbeing Expo, to be held at the Palm Cove Surf Club, will showcase 28 stalls including healers, a honey stall, clairvoyants, meditation, bio-hacking, laughter yoga, gut awareness and a numerology workshop.
“When people have cancer they need to look good and feel good. I have got beauty therapists and clothing lines, anything that will make people feel good,” she said.
“It really is about inclusion and getting everybody included into life and making disability normal.”
Recently, Ms Saipe was diagnosed with cancer.
“By the time I got on the plane to go to Russia I couldn’t talk or walk or feed myself properly.
“I had the treatment, bashed it out and retrained my brain to get myself back to normal,” she said.
“You have to put a lot of work in and adapt different modalities to complement traditional medicine.
“I have no problem with traditional medicine … or tell people to ‘have a healing that will fix you’ because that’s not the case in a lot of places.”
Ms Saipe will donate half of all gold coins taken at the gate to Youngcare, an organisation which helps people maintain lifestyles in their own home. the Palm Cove Nippers will get the other half.
The market runs from 10am to 5pm tomorrow and Sunday.
