Brownes Dairy ‘smuggling’ dairy goodness
W
A new approach to chronic pain
A dairy producer, Brownes Dairy has launched their new ‘A Hint Of …’ flavoured milk range, which has all the natural goodness of fresh WA milk with no added sugar and no artificial additive nasties.
“It’s a perfect win-win situation,” said Brownes Dairy Marketing Manager and mum of two Ivana Pereza. “My kids think they are having a yummy dairy treat but I know they are getting a healthy, natural milk drink that’s packed full of calcium”.
The new range is set to transform the flavoured milk category by introducing a first of its kind to WA families – a range of yummy, naturally flavoured milks with no nasties. That means absolutely no added sugars, no preservatives, colours, additives or artificial sweeteners. Just a hint of natural chocolate, strawberry, banana or vanilla and fresh WA milk.
These healthy and delicious natural milks have become a big hit in the Pereza household, and one that doesn’t take a toll on their health. “If my girls are going to have something that is supper yummy and fun, it usually means that it’s not that good for them,’ said Ivana. “Now we don’t have to compromise anymore. They can enjoy Brownes Dairy ‘A Hint Of…’ everyday – at breakfast with their cereal, after school and as a snack and before bedtime. It’s delicious, fun and healthy.”
As we all know, milk is a great source of calcium for strong, healthy, growing bones. But, as children get older, it can be a challenge to make sure they are getting their daily calcium needs met.

hronic pain affects between 20% to 30% of Australians, but less than 10% of people have access to effective treatment, costing the economy an estimated $35 billion each year. Whilst 70% of chronic pain is the result of injury, arthritis and musculo-skeletal problems, about 30% has no obvious cause, leaving many people in the dark about what to do. However, advances in scientific research over the past decade have led experts to understand that in many cases chronic pain is caused by unhelpful changes in the brain, known as ‘maladaptive plasticity’. In other words, in some cases of chronic pain, the pain is actually coming from the brain. This new understanding of chronic pain has resulted in innovative brain-based treatments that, in many cases, can dramatically reduce long-standing pain in just a few weeks.
Brownes Dairy ‘A Hint Of…’ flavoured milk range comes in four yummy natural flavours – Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla and Banana – and is available in 400ml and 1.3ml bottles. Available in Coles, Woolworths and local IGAs.

effective treatment. They use the latest brain-based therapies, some of which are featured in Dr. Norman Doidge’s internationally best selling book The Brain’s Way of Healing, the sequel to his equally popular book The Brain That Changes Itself. Treatment programs, directed to re-wire the brain, usually take place intensively over a few weeks. It is important that patients are motivated and prepared to set aside a little time out of their day to help get the best results. Brain-based treatments are becoming increasingly accepted as effective therapies by ‘main-stream’ medicine. In fact, The Perth Brain Centre was recently invited to speak at The Annual Rural Health West Conference, attended by several hundred GPs, to present on brain-based therapies for chronic pain.

Re-train The Perth Brain Centre, established in 2007, uses the latest neuroplastic therapies to “strengthen” and “re-train the brain”. An experienced and caring team of health care professionals provides leading edge brain-based treatments suitable for both children and adults for a range of conditions.
Neuroplastic therapies are appealing as they are non-invasive and drug-free. These innovative and evidence-based treatments work by “strengthening” and “re-training” the brain with detailed assessments used to develop individual training programmes.
