Nutrition can save Great Britain. But from what, exactly? Every day, it seems, there are more signs of the accelerating decline of the once proud land of Great Britain. The economy is in free-fall (despite what the politicians say), Sterling is being abandoned by other nations, health care remains a disastrous failure, unemployment is atrociously high, prisons are filled to capacity, public education is failing yet another generation of children, and the population seems to be getting more di...

At present, sugar addiction is responsible for one of the scourges of modern society and a significant problem in the United States among other countries. While a general predisposition toward “fast food culture” and a collective psyche that suggests adequate food preparation time to be inefficient may be a big part of the problem, many experts point towards sugared beverages and sodas. Over the previous thirty years, the average caloric intake has increased by somewhere between 1... Read Full Story

The ongoing debate over Vitamin D levels continues. The latest research from the USA suggests that 20% of the US population of Children and teenagers are considered deficient in Vitamin D. Translating those rates to the UK, while not statistically proven, would suggest that the problem in our children may be just as severe. Given that we have less sunshine than the USA the problem might be even worse. If even 5% of our children are severely deficient in Vitamin D we should be seeing a rise in... Read Full Story

After years of talking about hormones till I’m blue in the face it might just be that the world is waking up to the problem of hormones. The problem for men is that there are so many chemicals in the world that mimic the female hormone oestrogen and that the sad truth is that men are being feminized molecule by molecule cell by cell. The only question I have right now, which is probably on the lips of most men, is what can I do to prevent these chemicals stealing my masculinity? Apart ... Read Full Story

If you read my ramblings on a regular basis you’ll know that there are some clear threads that I follow. One of them is the whole statin debate. My own view (having been on them for over 15 years) is that they are unnecessary and may actually cause harm. It is reassuring when high level public figures come out and tell it like it is. In this case Peter Duncan is the latest in a string to dish the dirt. When I was ten, my father Alan suffered a heart attack. He was 49. The treatment in t... Read Full Story

We have always known the vitamin D has huge benefits but this article based upon some material published in the British Medical Journal in Oct 2009 makes interesting reading particularly if you are 60 years and older. A daily dose of vitamin D cuts your risk of FALLING substantially, researchers reported today. But not just any dose will do. “It takes 700 to 1000 international units (IU) of vitamin D per day and nothing less will work,” Dr. Heike A. Bischoff-Ferrari, who directs t... Read Full Story

For many years I’ve been advising people who contract a virus to let the body elevate it’s temperature and not use Paracetamol to artificially lower the temperature. The reason being that viruses only replicate rapidly within a very narrow temperature band – possibly as tight at 2 or 3 degrees. A raised temperature of as little as 1 1/2 degrees above normal can reduce the reproduction rate by 10 or even 100 fold. Using paracetamol only perpetuates the virus multiplication an...

New research suggests HOW the disaccharide trehalose reduces the toxicity of the amyloid β peptide. Evidence indicated that it is this amyloid β toxicity that plays an important role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Trehalose actually appears to fold the peptide favourably. Trehalose promotes the insertion of α-helical amyloid β into biological membranes. This is just the latest bit of the puzzle and backs up what we have seen in real people who use Trehalose.

I’ve had major misgivings about the rush to give teenage girls the HPV vaccine which allegedly protects against cervical cancer. Now the experts in the medical community are saying that its a ‘Mass experiment”. They are also now talking about giving it to boys (my human physiology might not be up to much but last time I checked I don’t think boys have a cervix) and young children. The findings come as the cervical cancer vaccination programme was branded a ‘publi... Read Full Story
