“For many years I have told anyone who will listen that, if you have a high cholesterol level, you will live longer. Equally, if you have a low cholesterol level, you will die younger. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a fact. The older you become the more beneficial it is to have a high cholesterol level.” – Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, author of “The Great Cholesterol Con”

Splenda is permitted as a general-purpose sweetener for processed foods. The approval was given after the FDA supposedly reviewed more than 110 animal and human safety studies, only two of which were done on humans, the longest one lasting just four days.

Science reveals sugar is as addictive as major illegal drugs.

Thousands of other studies spanning many decades show excess sugar damages your health, yet the sugar industry successfully buried the evidence and misdirected the public with manipulated science. http://bit.ly/2yE7z7Q

Your body cannot produce iodine so you must get if from your diet. Iodine is necessary to make thyroid hormones, which control your metabolism and other vital functions. Because your thyroid hormones also support proper bone and brain development in utero and during infancy, the proper intake of iodine is critically important for pregnant women, nursing mothers and their babies.

Its a Girl

Whole milk, cheese and butter have long been demonized as unhealthy, their saturated fat content incorrectly identified as a driver of obesity, heart disease and related health problems. We now know eating fat does not make you fat. Science has also demolished the idea that saturated fats clog your arteries and promotes heart disease. On the contrary, these fats are important for optimal health, and actually combat many of today’s chronic diseases, including heart disease.

What a lovely place, I would highly recommend this clinic especially for people like me who are not confident with their body image. I was made to feel welcome and felt comfortable in the professional manor in which they conducted themselves.

I only wish I hadn't waited so long to make the appointment due to my insecurities, there are both male and female osteopaths to choose from, I had no need to worry. Just like to say a big thank you to Clarks Healthcare

Very impressed with my treatments, three sessions and pain free again, much easier and quicker results than years seeing a chiropractor. Highly recommend. Thanks Steve.

Thanks to the amazing hands of the clarks team I now have a much better life due to not being in pain all he time.

Thank you so much for sorting my sciatica out after months of doctors visits and pain killers. Would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone

My husband and I come here to see Adam. We highly recommend. Try for yourselves. You won't regret it. Thank you so much

If ever I'm in pain I always give you a ring and you help me out straight away. I tried just taking pain killers but that never works you guys just have the magic touch and get me out of pain really quick.

The ladies on reception are really kind too and even give me a call to remind me of my appointments which is a nice personal touch. Thank you

I've just got to say a huge thank you to all at clarks, 18 months ago my then 17 year old daughter decided she wanted to join the army but to be honest she wasn't in great shape and needed a lot of help if she was gonna pass the assessment centre. We decided to use clarks personal and lifestyle training and it was the best decision we ever made, she is now fit and healthy and just passed the assessment centre and will be joining the army. None of this would have been possible without the professionalism and hard work of the training team and also a big shout out to Michael who was there all the way.....

I would highly recommend Clarks osteopathic practice! I had my first child 18 months ago and underwent an emergency c-section. After the subsequent procedure and birth I started to get lower back and knee pains. Following a consultation with Lisa Clark, she diagnosed a core muscle weakness attributed to the c-section and performed a number of ongoing treatments on me, along with a comprehensive rehabilitation programme and nutrinonal advice. Several months later I have seen a dramatic improvement and would like to thank all the staff at Clarks Osteopaths for their friendly and professional approach.

I was unable to run for more than 3 minutes since August 2015. Not sure why my hip was hurting and very frustrated. I received treatment from Mike at Clarks Osteopathic Health Care. Within 3 months I was able to run 20minutes. Wow!!! With treatment, advice and by following alternative stretching methods my hip is getting better every week. Highly recomend.

I have had back/hip pain for over 3 years finally getting it sorted, and only after 2 appointments, my hip has stopped clicking and the pain i would say has decreased 50%. Im ecstatic about how much better i feel plus the nutritional advice is invaluable! Cant wait for my next session and rehab programme to correct everything. So far this has been an amazing experience, with professional, friendly and informative service!

I have been going to this clinic for a couple of years now, after searching for a good one for years. Reason being is they care more about your health than the consistency of appointments, for example coming once a month rather than once a week because it is better for you. They have a wide knowledge about you, they get to know you. They are not expensive they fit in line with competitors.

One day I was having a really bad back day and I asked to speak with Michael and he spoke on the phone to me for half hour with advice. I've spent nearly 2 grand in this establishment & I don't regret any of it because they have got me from not being able to stand up straight to doing whatever I want. This was the 6th company to try and wish it was my first. Excellent business, excellent staff & I will come here as long as they are open for business.

I first went to Clarks in February this year with neck problems. I have had treatment for 30 years at many different practices with mixed results. My first appointment with Lisa made a huge long term improvement. She quickly identified my problem and gave me one simple exercise. That exercise has freed me from years of frequent treatment and has improved my posture.

In May this year I decided to speak to Michael about my Arthritis and Nutrition. After taking 500mg of Naproxen daily I had stomach problems and other side effects, this means I can no longer take any anti-inflammatory medication. My knees were very stiff and painful so I had to look elsewhere for relief.

After many health surveys and checks I was given a dietary plan which meant a big change in lifestyle.

It's not easy giving up food you normally eat until you realise that after only 2 weeks you can feel a difference. Then it's easy!

5 months on I have shed over half a stone of fat and my knees are almost completely pain free.

My wife and friends can't believe how good I look now.

Would I recommend Clark's,"? Yes I would, wholeheartedly!

Thank you Michael, Lisa and your fantastic team. I thought I was heading towards retirement with limited mobility at best.

At 62 I now have a much brighter future and can look forward to my retirement positively.

Having suffered with back problems on and off for years i have tried various different methods of treatment but to no avail. I then discovered Clarks Osteopathic Healthcare in Benfleet! After several treatment sessions, expert advice & support my back is the best it has in years. They offer an efficient& friendly service and would highly recommend them

Extremely professional and exactly what I needed. After years of playing rugby I had suffered from lower back problems and following consultations and treatments with Michael he now has me back on track. Clarks offer the complete package, not just the rehabilitation but also the alternative treatments and guidance with everything from nutrition to workout plans.



Would highly recommend.

Excellent treatment! I started going because I had terrible sciatica. The pain was so bad I couldn't walk properly and even found it difficult to get into the shower.I feel so much better now. Lisa has given me so much advice on exercises to help to strengthen the muscles in my back etc. I would definitely recommend to anyone. Very professional, friendly people.

Can only echo the positive comments of others. Suffering for over a year and finally caved and realised I needed professional help/advice regarding ongoing shoulder problems.



First visit today and that is exactly what I received. Left with a positve outlook, full of information and a clear plan of what is needed to resolve my issues.

After weeks of going to the doctors and being told to take painkillers and wait for my back to fix itself I tried Clarks, the physio and exercises I was given had me pain free and back to work in just over a week, you can't say fairer than that. 😀

After complaining to my Doctors about aches and pains for a few years and getting nowhere, I took myself off to see Michael Clark, who suspected Acromegaly, after lots of tests, proved he was right. I am now due to have an operation in couple of weeks. With out his expert diagnosis I could have suffered a lot more complications. Michael is my knight in shining armour.

After being recommended to Clarks for severe back pain following a car accident I contacted them to make an appointment. After my consultation and first treatment I was confident and already feeling better than my previous treatment from the Nhs. After several visits I was back to 100%. A great team with exceptional knowledge. Highly recommend.
