Clinic History

The Margaret Hills Clinic was established in the early 1980’s by Mrs Margaret Hills S.R.N (State Registered Nurse).

Margaret Hills

Margaret Hills decided to launch the clinic to help others with Arthritis after her own personal experience with the disease. At the age of 21, whilst training to be a nurse, she developed Rheumatoid Arthritis. This had a fast onset, literally overnight, and resulted in 5 months of complete bed rest to aid her recovery. Years later, after completing her training, she then developed Osteoarthritis, which culminated in another attack of Rheumatoid Arthritis leaving her crippled and in severe pain. Realising that the medical profession could do nothing for her, as the only available treatment was aspirin, she began to look into natural treatments.

Margaret researched many different natural approaches to healing, including very traditional remedies such as Epsom Salts baths and Cider Vinegar. She then combined such detoxification remedies with a particular combination of nutritional supplements to develop her own treatment. After a year of following this treatment she rid herself of all signs of Arthritis and continued to lead a pain free life. The word spread gradually of Margaret Hills’ efforts to rid herself of all arthritic symptoms and many people contacted her to find out more details as so many were in a similar situation of extreme pain due to arthritis of some type. Due to huge public interest she opened a clinic to help others who were suffering and to guide others through their recovery. As the nutritional supplements that she recommended were quite difficult to obtain in the correct quantities, she eventually had her own formula produced exclusively. This was named the Margaret Hills Formula and has remained unchanged since the original formulation in the very early 1980’s. In the late 1990’s Margaret gradually withdrew from seeing patients at the clinic after fully training her daughter Christine Horner to continue her work. Margaret Hills passed away in May 2003 at the age of 78.

Christine Horner

Christine had worked alongside her mother for a number of years and is qualified as a European Certified Nutritional Therapist and SCENAR therapist. She is a full member of the Register of Nutritional Therapists. She is responsible for guiding all patients through their treatment, and is available for personal consultations Monday to Friday.

Christine’s daughter Julia Horner joined the Margaret Hills Clinic in January 2006. She has a BSc Honours degree in Human Physiology and is a fully accredited InterX practitioner. Her main role at the clinic is to provide this pain relief therapy, with appointments available throughout the week.

Julia Horner

Julia had been diagnosed with juvenile arthritis at the age of eight and has followed the Margaret Hills treatment herself with a very successful outcome. Julia is currently studying with the College of Naturopathic Medicine to become a practitioner of Naturopathic Nutrition.
