Bio Balance Health Ltd Bio Balance Health Ltd is a not-for-profit charity of 20 years standing. Our primary role is to educate Medical Doctors, only, on the biochemical imbalances and nutritional deficiencies commonly associated with mental health conditions. The second role is to support, nurture, and facilitate original research, at quality, recognised institutions to bring to light the biochemical mechanisms underlying various mental health conditions, and develop scientific and verifiable pathology testing. Bio Balance Health aims to keep the public informed of the opportunity to achieve successful outcomes for health when individual biochemistry is close to optimal. Bio Balance Health was initiated in 1988 by two Australians following their visit to Health Research Institute- Pfeiffer Treatment Centre (now closed) in the USA, and their discussions with William J Walsh, PhD, Scientific Director.

Joining with like-minded Australians they set up by Balance Health Association in 2000. Under the guidance of Dr Walsh this volunteer team worked hard to establish the pathology assessment facilities not at that time available in...

National Centre for Excellence for Complex Trauma Blue Knot Foundation actively advocates for systemic change in the community, and for government policy. Historically, the needs of Australian adult survivors of childhood trauma and abuse have not been a community or government priority. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse was ground-breaking. The National Redress Scheme, from July 1 2018-2028 is also a watershed achievement. But much more needs to be done to address the needs of all adults experiencing childhood trauma and abuse. Blue Knot Foundation is not able, however, to provide individual advocacy services to survivors. A 2016 study by Brown et al. established that children with ADHD have higher exposure to adverse childhood experiences than children without ADHD. It also showed a significant association between ACE score, ADHD and moderate to severe ADHD. Additionally children who have experienced trauma and traumatic stress can experience a range of symptoms which overlap with those of ADHD, with the risk of misdiagnosis significant (Symanski et al., 2011).
