The future of the internet is in breaking down the information into very small nic... Read Full Story

For those of you that follow my ravings you’ll recognise the theme of this post. Cholesterol is vital for the body to function correctly and we are falsely pushing it down because someone somewhere long ago thought it was a good idea based upon some flawed work. Dr Kendrick in his book exposes yet again the errors in this strategy and why it is causing more harm than good to drive down cholesterol levels with Statin type drugs. To read more about the cholesterol con go to this page or g... Read Full Story

I’m not sure if my wife was trying to say something the other day by sending me this article (published in the daily mail online) by Hillary Freeman but as I read it she made such sense of a mysterious subject clouded with poor understanding and myth and untruths. In it she brings clarity that I’ve rarely seen elsewhere and rarely from a medical doctor (sadly).  This article is of such value that I’ve decided to reproduce it in it’s entirety but i give full credit to t...

Cases of Colon Disease have never been more Prevalent. According to the highly reputable Merck Manual, colon degeneration and disease is on the rise.  More specifically, the incidence of diverticulosis, a type of hernia, has increased dramatically over the past 40 years.  In 1950, only 10% of Americans had this disease, but that number had already grown to nearly 50% by 1987.

Cholesterol is a bit like Cinderella -  she came in for some unwarranted attention from the ugly sisters and the same can be said of Cholesterol except in the case the ugly sisters were the pharmaceutical lobby and governments. Heart disease and obesity, according to the Pharmaceutical companies (the ugly sisters), was the bad boy in town in terms of health. Get your cholesterol levels down and then heart health would improve and people would have fewer heart attacks and that would be a done ... Read Full Story

For almost 10 years I’ve been concerned about the effects of Statin drugs (simvastatin etc) because I sensed that something wasn’t right in the medical approach. The evidence that was being put forward by the government and the pharmaceutical companies just didn’t seem right. The more i read the less comfortable i became until after being on these drugs for over 10 years I came off (against my GPs wishes and instructions) and no manage my levels within a healthy range by die...

James Turner, the chairman of the US national consumer education group Citizens for Health, has expressed shock and outrage after reading a new report from scientists outlining the dangers of the artificial sweetener Splenda (sucralose). In animals examined for the study, Splenda reduced the amount of good bacteria in the intestines by 50 percent, increased the pH level in the intestines, contributed to increases in body weight and affected P-glycoprotein (P-gp) levels in such a way that cruc...

This article from 2000 came across my desk just this last week and it really saddens me that in 2000 we had reached such levels of medical control and academic ignorance. I wonder how differnet things are just 8 years on? In this peer reviewed paper by a school student in (Canada in 2000) she surveyed the many medical doctors about their knowledge and use of probiotics. In amongst the data there is a very telling figure that 24% of doctors felt that probiotics were unnecessary, 31% felt there... Read Full Story
