Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:18:25 +0000

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 [...]

hormones – bloody hormones

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:46:54 +0000

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 [...]

Cholesterol – Juggling the Truth

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:46:38 +0000

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 [...]

Vitamin D – Helps you stay on your feet!

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:08:47 +0000

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.

Viruses and Wisdom of the years

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:36:34 +0000

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 [...]

Trehalose and Alzheimer’s

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:40:00 +0000

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 [...]

HPV – Vaccination – Mass Experiment

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:39:24 +0000

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 [...]

Angiotensin – Exercise

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:43:49 +0000

Angiotensin is something that forms whenever inflammation is present. It is a by-product of metabolism and if left unchecked it can cause huge problems. The main focus in recent years has been to inhibit the formation of Angiotensin by the use of pharmaceutical drugs. However, there is an interesting development that makes use of naturally [...]

Statins – Wonder drug or Villains?

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:19:22 +0000

My wife sent me this article adapted from the daily Express. I took Simvastin, a powerful Stain drug, for 15 years and today 15 years on – I’m rarely free from muscular pain and joint problems. This so called benign wonder drug has damaged my life to the point where I can’t walk far and [...]
