Soniclean
Great news for our Business Member Soniclean
who is a finalist in the Business SA 2011 Export Awards in two categories
- "Small Business Award" and the "Small to Medium
Manufacturer Award"
This is the third year in a row that Soniclean
has been a finalist in the Business SA Awards and was the winner last
year of the Small Business Award.
It is also the first year that they have been chosen as a
finalist in more than one category.
The Export Award application was based in no small way
upon the sales that Soniclean achieved in
France in 2010-11.
The winners of the 2011 awards will be announced at the
Awards Luncheon at the National Wine Centre in Adelaide on Wednesday 19th
October.
Since
entering the market in 2007, the company has increased its sales each
year.
This
year, the sales reached a record high and exceeded all expectations which
was remarkable given the GFC that affected some
of Soniclean’s traditional markets.
The
total sales to France last year represented 22% of Soniclean’s
total export sales.
Soniclean is represented in France by Alphacomed whose headquarter is located in La Ciotat, near Marseilles.
When
entering into the French market Soniclean was
originally assisted by the South Australian-based company Exportia Pty Ltd to identify potential distributors
and set up introductory meetings with Alphacomed
and other potential distributors.
In
March this year, Julian Smith, MD of Soniclean,
assisted Alphacomed at the French National Sterilisation Congress in Nantes where Alphacomed had a booth displaying the Soniclean products.
This
Congress is where all the French hospital Pharmacy Managers attend to learn about innovations in Sterilisation and Infection Control.
There
was a great deal of interest in the Soniclean
range of products on show.
Further
to this visit, David Smith from Soniclean
visited Alphacomed in July to provide
after-sales product training and visited many hospitals in France who
have already installed Soniclean Ultrasonic
Cleaners to provide along with Alphacomed
preventative maintenance to their machines.
Alphacomed have declared that the Soniclean product range is now their prime focus for
their sales in France, this augers go well for Soniclean’s
future sales.
The
expectation in 2012 is to continue the growth pattern for the fifth
consecutive year.
Tenesol
Tenesol, the global solar power provider,
is completing its first commercial photo-voltaic project in Adelaide,
South Australia with a local partner.
Tenesol recently established a new office
in Perth, which brings the company’s 27 years’ experience as an
Engineering Procurement and Construction contractor and advanced
photo-voltaic module supplier to Australia for the first time. For the
project in Adelaide, Tenesol provided
engineering expertise and 20 of its TE Lumex
dual-glass solar modules.
The TE Lumex
dual-glass modules are almost 50% transparent, so they allow light to
pass through them while also generating solar energy. Tenesol
is the only company to offer TE Lumex modules
in Australia.

Humankind’s Wellbeing
Andrea
Fernandez graduated with a Bachelor of Health Sciences (Comp Med) and completed a
Postgraduate Diploma in Integrated iridology® and a Masters Degree
in Sclerology. She then started working in
a well-established clinic in Adelaide. After working in the field for
several years, she decided to open her own clinic HUMANKIND'S WELLBEING
in North Adelaide. She just finished writing her first book “Validations”
that validates the use of complementary medicine in clinical practice.
Today
Andrea explains how she approaches patient treatment:
It is better to pay to prevent disease than to treat the
disease itself.
Medicine is
divided into specialisations and compartmentalisations making it more
challenging to “see the forest for the trees”. With plentiful of
choices of therapists and supplements, which one do you choose? Have you
stopped for a moment to think: “Is this the right option for me?”, “Am I
getting somewhere?”, “Do I feel a great difference from when I started
visiting the practitioner”?
Do not cover the symptoms with synthetic drugs.
Today,
heavy metals amongst other toxins threaten our health in incremental
values. I find toxins being the reason behind most of my patient’s
ailments. These pollutants can be found in aluminium or Teflon cooking
ware, Roundup garden spray, commercial cosmetics and toiletries and even
the polystyrene coffee cup to name a few. They have a neuro-endocrine
effect; disrupting nervous system function and creating hormonal havoc.
You might not even be aware of this exposure yet the physiological
disruption may have already taken place 5 years before symptoms manifest.
Are you drinking from that over-used plastic bottle that keeps leaching
hormone-disrupting plasticides at every sip of
water you take? Have you also thought you’d be healthy eating that salad
that at the end of 12 months gives your body close to 4 litres of
pesticides? We know now that contamination occurs at the foetal level
when the mother passes between 40-60% of her toxins via the placenta and
through breastfeeding.
These neuro-endocrine disturbances compromise the
effectiveness of many, if not all treatments natural or pharmaceutical.
Such a disruption may present itself as chronic auto-immune conditions,
hormonal afflictions, sugar imbalances, adrenal problems, excess weight,
persistent fatigue, fungal infections, thyroid disorders, leaky gut and
the like. Consequently the cause of all ailments gets lost amidst a long
list of symptoms.
Think of the patient in his/ her totality
Our
unique methods of assessment and heavy-metal- specific detoxification
protocols give us the tools to find and eliminate toxins hiding in your
body giving your presenting symptoms. One must
remember that if you want to achieve quality and quantity of life you
mustn’t just treat the symptoms but rather the underlying cause of
disease.
