The NEWSLETTER of the Hypoglycemic Association is distributed to members of the Association and to
Health Professionals with an interest in nutritional medicine and clinical ecology.

THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING will be held half an hour before the public
lecture, that is 1.30 PM at the YWCA, 2 Wentworth Ave, Sydney. The Financial
Statement and the Hon Auditor’s report are on page 10.
Although many members regard
this meeting as of little importance we urged them to attend. The Association requires
additional Committee members to help us at times when we send out the Newsletters. Thework involved as a Committee member is not onerous. There are only four annual meetings.
However, it requires some dedication and reliability with some spare time on hand.
FEES: For those members who have not yet paid their membership fees, please note the expiry date in the top right
hand corner of the address label. The fees are $15 per family or $10 for pensioners and students. Health practitionersreceive this Newsletter free of charge, as part of our policy to promote complementary medicine among doctors. We hopethat one day patients will be able to claim the services of these doctors and naturopaths through Medicare.
Our next speaker will cover an interesting topic in medicine; namely the influence of sev-
eral layers of personality upon illness. Dr Chris
Miliotis has worked in the field of psychiatry and
anthroposophical medicine over the past six
years. Anthroposophical Medicine is a branch of medicine established by Dr Rudolph Steiner andDr Ita Wegman in the early 1900's. It is based on the view of man, who is composed of 4 principal
members: 1) The Ego - his spirituality, 2) The
Astral Body - both a physiological and psycho-
logical function, 3) The Etheric or Life Body, 4)
The Physical Body .
Dr Chris Miliotis
Stemming from this view Dr Miliotis has be- come interested in how chronic illnesses are influenced by the psychological aspects of the person. How is it that recurrent emotional statesmay contribute to chronic illness, let's say hy-poglycemia or diabetes? Yes, of course part of the illness may be determined genetically, yet stress may suddenly “Early Intervention of Diabetes”
