  • Feet For Life with Holistic Podiatrist Nena Jukes

    Feet For Life with Holistic Podiatrist Nena Jukes
    Jul 9 2026
    Who is Nena? –

    Nena is an holistic podiatrist and seasoned Healthcare professional with over 40 years of experience.

    Graduating in Foot Medicine; Podiatry & Chiropody. Her early NHS career was focused on treating people with complications of diabetes as a hospital Diabetic Foot Specialist. This involved a lot of wound care, dermatology, education and fighting to save limbs.

    With a love of life long learning and curiosity Nena trained and incorporated Reflexology, Emotional freedom Technique EFT, Herbal Medicine, Nutrition, Foot Mobilisation, Red light and laser therapies into her Suffolk practice.

    Nena is about to embark on a very exciting new journey by opening an

    Energy Enhancement System Centre, the first in East Anglia.

    What is my passion and why do this?

    I always have and always will want to help people. It is who I am.

    To help someone get out of pain and walk out of my clinic with a spring in their step or a smile is for me a moment of joy – Every time! It feels good to make someone’s day and the trust people place in me is humbling.

    It is also fun and people are interesting. I have a 94 year old chap who after his treatment often exclaims “Oh good! Now I can run amok!”

    I try to have balance in my work and life but it all tends to merge!

    Growing organic food, flowers and plants with which to make lotions, potions and teas make me very happy. I need to put my hands in the soil or my bare feet on the ground every day. Grounding really is a thing – back to physics and discharging positive ions!

    I make stained glass windows, travel to learn about art history and I go paddle boarding as often as possible in the warm weather.

    I also have 3 dogs 3 chickens and 3 grown up children.

    My very kind husband and co director of our company who keeps everything running smoothly while I go on my Campervan adventures.

    Nena talks about

    How when one part of the body ‘goes wrong’ it affects other parts. We are all joined up. Treating the whole person, from the feet up or head down because the whole body walks.

    Always ask why? Diagnosis involves looking listening and hearing with the ears and the heart. The body talks and if we don’t listen we get sick.

    Sometimes a quick fix and symptoms can be suppressed and made to go away using all kinds of interventions but often for true healing to take place it takes time and the removal of the cause.

    Plants that grow around us are there for us to use. Natures pharmacy. Powerful free medicine! Garden weeds are awesome and full of goodness with amazing healing properties! Some good tips for feet.

    The EE System, healing for body mind and spirit. Nikola Tesla said ”If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration”

    Jul 6 2026
    Who is Dawn Wong?

    Dawn, a mum who lives in Wimbledon. I gave up my professional career to take care of my children, but ending up working even harder in a variety of side gigs which were much more rewarding than my previous career and more community focussed, including Swing Dance, sourdough baking, craft classes for kids and comedy shows.

    Navigating life as a new mum and finding your identity after giving up your professional career. Taking on jobs and activities that keep you engaged, fulfilled and healthy. Carving out time for yourself and giving back to the community.

    Dawn talks about:
    • Who am I – Dawn is Singaporean who moved to the UK for university, after a corporate career which saw her live in Scotland, and Australia with her husband.
    • Navigating motherhood and marriage and leaving her job to focus on her family instead of maintaining their dual income.
    • Hobbies that keep you alive and healthy, ending up monetising them and giving back to the community.
    • Never saying no to any opportunity and discovering such a pivot in your life might be more fun than you thought!

  • Violet Ray Devices with John (the violet ray guy)

    Violet Ray Devices with John (the violet ray guy)
    Jul 6 2026
    Violet Ray Devices: A Forgotten Invention of Nikola TeslaWho is John Drakeford (the violet ray guy)?Violet Ray Devices: A Forgotten Invention of Nikola Tesla.I’ve long admired Nikola Tesla, but until a few years ago I had no idea about one of the most curious legacies of his work: the violet ray device.Tesla is among the most prolific inventors in history. He pioneered alternating current, which powers our modern world, and contributed to early X-ray imaging, wireless communication, radio, and even visionary attempts at wireless global energy transmission with his Wardenclyffe Tower. Among his many inventions, Tesla’s high-frequency “resonance transformers” — better known today as Tesla coils — laid the foundation for a class of electrotherapy devices that became famous in the early 20th century: the violet ray.How the Violet Ray Works –At the heart of a violet ray machine is a Tesla coil, which generates a high-frequency, high-voltage, but low-current electrical discharge. This current is delivered through glass electrodes filled with inert gases, usually argon or neon. When electrified, the gas produces a glowing plasma discharge. With argon, the light appears violet — hence the name.The treatment involved placing the electrode directly on the skin or holding it slightly above, allowing a gentle spark to jump to the body. Users described the sensation as a mild tingling or warmth, often accompanied by a faint ozone smell.Rise of ElectrotherapyIn the early 1900s, electricity was seen as a force of wonder, mystery, and untapped potential. Naturopaths, alternative healers, and even mainstream doctors were fascinated by its possibilities. An article from 1900 captured the spirit of the era when Schaefer declared: “Nothing in modern science causes us so much amazement as electricity, the sovereign ruler of all.”Manufacturers quickly capitalized on this fascination. Violet ray machines were marketed as miracle devices, capable of treating hundreds of ailments. Advertisements claimed benefits for conditions ranging from arthritis, rheumatism, poor circulation, and nervous disorders to hair loss, skin conditions, digestive issues, cataracts, and even psychiatric illnesses. Some spiritual healers, including Edgar Cayce, even suggested they could aid in cases of “possession” or mental imbalance.Home-use kits were sold alongside professional medical models. The main difference was the number and variety of glass attachments, each shaped for a particular part of the body. The literature often listed more than 200 ailments the device supposedly treated, making it one of the most widely marketed health products of its time.Decline and ControversyDespite their popularity, violet ray devices faced increasing resistance from the mainstream medical establishment, which was becoming more tightly aligned with pharmaceutical-based treatments. By the 1930s and 40s, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration began cracking down on manufacturers for unverified medical claims. Court cases, fines, and stricter regulations led to their decline.By the late 20th century, only a handful of manufacturers remained, including Holo Electron in France and Tefra in Germany. Today, only Tefra continues to produce a version of the device, though modern units use solid-state circuitry and are generally marketed for cosmetic or relaxation purposes rather than medical claims. Many enthusiasts feel these modern versions lack the power and effectiveness of their vintage predecessors.A Personal ExperienceFor me, the violet ray story isn’t just historical curiosity — it’s personal. Years ago, I underwent four surgeries on my right shoulder for repeated glenoid labrum tears. When I later injured my left shoulder, I dreaded the prospect of going under the knife again. Around that time, I discovered violet ray devices and bought a small vintage unit.After two weeks of daily treatments, my shoulder improved dramatically. The surgery I thought was inevitable was no longer necessary. That experience lit a spark in me — I’ve been collecting, restoring, and researching these devices ever since.Over time, I’ve heard countless testimonials of people finding relief from arthritis, cystitis, and other stubborn ailments using these old machines. While modern medicine doesn’t endorse such claims, it’s hard to ignore the passion and stories of those who’ve experienced benefits first hand.Legacy of the Violet RayThe violet ray is a fascinating intersection of science, invention, and culture. It represents an era when electricity was still seen as a mystical force, a time when inventors and healers believed it could transform health and human potential.Today, these devices live on as collector’s items, curiosities, and tools for enthusiasts like myself who continue to explore their possibilities. Whether one views them as genuine therapy, quirky pseudoscience, or simply a piece of Tesla’s incredible legacy, the violet ...
