I am on a mailing list from Bill Henderson who has a website Beating Cancer Gently, and is an authority on healing cancer naturally. He has a fantastic web radio show as well, and has a lot of very interesting information to share. One of the very important risk factors for cancer that he has

I’m a big advocate of Green Smoothies, – I like to have one nearly every day and I regularly recommend them to people – however I always make sure I caution everyone to make sure they rotate their greens. By this, I mean don’t use the same type of green every time. It is easy to get into

At the Metagenics Congress two weeks ago, one of the important points they focused on was inflammation, leaky gut, allergies and auto-immune conditions, and their connection with certain foods in the diet.

Metagenics is a company which produces naturopathic grade supplements – and even though I like to use food as medicine as my main treatment plan –

This is a subject that I have followed for many years, and I find the trend of puberty happening at younger and younger ages, very disturbing. There were two stories on this in the last couple of weeks, one on the Sunrise Program (and we know what a balanced view they portray) and another was a

This weekend I am in Sydney for the Metagenics Congress – three days of intensive seminars on some of the latest breakthroughs in functional medicine, with international speakers and 500 naturopath’s, doctors and health practitioners from all over Australia gathering together. It is such a treat to be attending and I am loving every minute

This video is geared towards people in the US, but the doctor speaking on the video Dr Mark Hyman has some very good points. He speaks about the “new revised food pyramid” and how it is influenced by industry lobbying. I don’t agree with everything he says here – but at least he does mention
