The Centre is a unique and leading Clinic in the world for fasting supervision. It was founded in Sydney by the late Dr. Alec Burton in 1961, was subsequently joined by Dr. Nejla Burton and has been in continuous operation since 1961. It is recognized by the International Association of Hygienic Physicians, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A. and has served as a teaching and training Institution for a number of doctors such as M.D.’s, D.O.’s, D.C.’s, etc.
The recovery of health demands both skilful care and a protective, conducive environment. The care at the Centre is supervised by professionals specifically trained in lifestyle, fasting and rational health care. The practitioners are all licensed and are members of the International Association of Hygienic Physician, made up of licensed primary care physicians.
The emphasis is health oriented rather than disease oriented; that is, the focus is on health care and the removal of the causes of disease, rather than the vigorous and active treatment of disease which often involves the use of substances and procedures in themselves harmful to health.
The doctors live onsite at the Centre. This facilitates an ongoing collaborative relationship between the practitioner and the patient for the best health outcome.
