Health Etcetera: an affordable detox retreat for everyone


Rian Torres founded Health Etcetera back in 2009 after struggling to find an affordable detox retreat


W


hen Rian Torres had health issues, someone suggested juice fasting may work. She


went online to look for a retreat, only to find they were all very expensive. Eventually, she visited Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida and got her health back on track before receiving training from the team there. Upon returning to the UK, Rian decided to open her own retreat. Health Etcetera offers a simple


detox retreat everyone can afford. It doesn’t force up-sales on you, so you only pay for what you actually want. Being small has allowed the company to offer a truly bespoke experience to many happy customers for the past 12 years. Health Etcetera offers much more than just health, detox or weight loss, but potentially a truly life-trans- forming experience.

roblems with bones and joints are common and may arise at any age. Sometimes these are


caused by injuries or overstrain but may also be the consequence of rarer diseases involving the immune system such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus and even the effects of Covid-19. Back, knee and shoulder joint pain, fractures due to brittle bones,


inflamed and


swollen small joints, gout, pseudogout and soft tissue pain arising from tennis elbow, achilles


tendonitis, bursitis


or polymyalgia all respond better to treatment if diagnosed early. Professor Hughes is a rheumatol-


ogist with over 30 years’ experience who uses his clinical ability together


with appropriate investigations such as blood tests and scans, if needed, to reach an accurate diagnosis. Treatment is planned either with medicines, injections or by referral to other therapists. Consultations can be arranged for self-paying patients or via medical insurance either face to face (with suitable Covid-19 precau- tions) or by telephone or video.

“Just excellent — finally feel listened to and understood! Great advice given and detailed advice about the type of HRT I could use. All costs transparent and upfront. I’d highly recommend anyone to them. I only wish I’d known about them earlier,” said one patient.


“I felt the consultation was very thorough. There was plenty of time, it didn’t feel rushed, felt listened to. Was made to feel at ease. It was evident the doctor had a wealth of knowledge and experience,” said another.
