Spring Blog 2025

 

It’s about time I wrote a new blog! And once again there’s so much to write about, but to begin, let me eulogise on a couple of foods you may not eat very much, but are so extremely nutritious and valuable to eat regularly:

WATERCRESS: This is so full of vitamins & minerals I don’t know where to begin! As it has so much going for it I’ll put in a link where you can see it has multiple benefits. Put some in your salads, or in a sandwich.

Watercress is also one of the best vegetables with which to help fight cancer, particularly breast cancer and eat it along with other cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage. Eat some as often as you can!

I remember one of my esteemed colleagues some years ago ate a whole bunch for his lunch at a conference-- and nothing else!

PARSLEY is another vegetable/herb that has multiple health benefits and is packed with an amazing array of nutrients. We have a large plant growing in our garden. It survived the winter amazingly well and now that we have had plenty of sun in recent weeks it continues to thrive and flourish. You can use some in salads and cooked dishes. It is very good for you. Do use it a lot!

CANCER: “A simple routine of getting sunshine, eating fish, and moderate exercise can slash your cancer risk by 60%” went the headline. If this were a pharmaceutical drug, it would dominate headlines and make hundreds of billions of dollars. But because it doesn’t pad Big Pharma’s pockets, mainstream outlets won’t say a word. This discovery came from a randomized controlled trial published in the prestigious, peer-reviewed journal “Frontiers in Aging”.

 

VITAMIN D: With regard to vitamin D and cancer prevention, in studies, vitamin D inhibits the growth of cancer cells by regulating several genes responsible for cell proliferation and differentiation. As I have written before everyone should be taking 2,000iu of Vitamin D daily unless they are getting lots of sun on their skin.

 

Robert Kennedy Jr.: Even if you are put off by Trump, please don’t ignore the tremendously important work Robert Kennedy is trying to do in the U.S. The pharmaceutical industry will use every trick in the book to try and stop him improving health care. Why? Because this industry admits it is there to make a profit and is not there to improve people’s health!!

In my philosophy food and herbs are medicine.

Please keep following R.K Jr’s work in the CDC as he sets up a department to monitor vaccine injuries. You’ll have to believe me when I say that I get quite a few patients who have been injured by such over my years in practice. These events are not rare. And I would urge all my readers to think carefully before having any jab. They are not all they say they do on the tin, most do quite the opposite. Most of the new ones have MRNA technology in them which means that they change your genes! Do you really want your genes changed? Most are NOT evaluated for their safety.

Even the inventor of MRNA technology, Dr. Robert Malone, does not approve the way this technology has been highjacked and misused by the pharmaceutical industry.

 

HAY FEVER:if you suffer from hay fever at this time of the year please use freshly brewed nettle tea. Yes, stinging nettles have wonderful medicinal value against hay fever. Pick a few fresh nettles and soak them in some boiled water for a few minutes. It tastes very pleasant. In addition you can buy a supplement of quercetin from a health food store and use it three times a day throughout the hay fever season.

 

Until next time, I give you all my very best wishes!

 

 

 

Blog—Early Autumn 2024

 

Chronic Disease— is the number one health care problem of our age. Chronic disease is increasing year on year in many parts of the world. It has become a health emergency. We are talking about problems such as: obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, autism. The NHS can’t cope because there are too many people with these problems. Most are on lots of medication paid for in this country by the NHS.

Please keep reading with an open mind and don’t automatically label me as a ‘conspiracy theorist’! As the saying goes, truth is often stranger than fiction.

Did you know that the business plan for Big Pharma is to keep people sick, but not dying, so that they can profit long term from all the medication they are on?!!

Did you know that the cigarette industry gradually took over the food manufacturing industry from the 1960’s onwards? When cigarette sales gradually decreased the cigarette companies had to diversify and they started to take over parts of the food industry. This period saw the rise of processed foods with added sugars, fats, and other ingredients designed on purpose to be highly addictive. We call these highly processed foods, ‘Junk food’. Junk foods cause ill health.

Many experts feel that the rise in chronic health problems is being caused by junk and processed food, let alone the side effects complicating these diseases from all the medication these people are using. Every medication has side effects, without exception, and the sicker people get the more medication they receive and the greater Big Pharma profits. That is why they are so rich and powerful and control the medical profession and industry.

To give just one example, autism. The incidence of autism has increased catastrophically during the last 25 years. The incidence in the year 2002 was one child in 250. This has steadily risen every year since and is now one in every 20 children!!! In Northern Ireland one in 14 boys has autism. If that is not catastrophic, I don’t know what is.

Many believe they know why, but no-one is prepared to do the research to prove it. I wonder why?! Probably because it would affect Big Pharma’s bottom line too much. Even Dr. Andrew Wakefield was struck off for saying he suspected why, but said that more research should be done.

I have followed the work of Robert Kennedy Jr. for many years. He is an environmental lawyer and I am delighted that he may be given the opportunity to be in the next American Government. He founded an amazing organisation called the https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/welcome-to-the-defender/ This website is well worth taking a look at. The work of this organisation covers many aspects of children’s health, including chronic health problems.

During his recent speech to the Republican Party, when he gave up his own presidential campaign and joined forces with Donald Trump, Kennedy highlighted the risks associated with processed foods and seed oils and the pervasive influence of corporate interests over government regulators. He gave a passionate pledge that he would try and do something about the chronic disease crisis that is crippling America. Kennedy knows that manufacturing food companies are behind the chronic disease crisis. If you watch some of his video clips (and there are many on the Net) he emphatically states what is the cause of autism as well.

Over many years, sugar has been the number one ‘enemy’ of good health. But seed oils are also now known to be just as harmful. What are these? They have been named the ‘Hateful Eight’. All vegetable oils: sunflower, rape (canola), soy, safflower, peanut, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed. All of these oils have been highly refined, heat treated, and are extremely high in the Omega 6 oils that cause inflammation in the body when consumed. Inflammation is present in all chronic disease.

Much better to eat cold-pressed olive oil on salads and to cook with coconut oil, or a small amount of olive oil. The best sources of the healthy Omega 3 oils are in oily fish and linseeds (flax seeds) Ghee can also be used in cooking. Margarine is the most highly refined of all oils. A little butter is a much healthier option—saturated fats are not bad!! That is propaganda put out by the food industry. And the oil in avocados is wonderful too!

I’ll close with a saying I came across recently put out by the “No Farmers= No Food” organisation: http://nofarmersnofood.com/

"Agriculture is our wisest pursuit,

because it will in the end contribute most

to real wealth, good morals, and happiness.”- Letter from Thomas Jefferson to George Washington (1787)

 

My very warm wishes to you all.

 

 

Blog Summer 2024

 

I do hope you are all enjoying glimpses of the summer we are having!

As usual I’ll be writing a few controversial points of view in this blog. Please read them with an open mind. There is always another ‘side to most stories’ and health is one of them. You are welcome to disagree with me! I support free speech and I for one am glad that X or Twitter is one of the places on the Internet where one can read very many different points of view. I get bored and fed up with hearing and seeing so much PC news on the BBC etc. GBNews is a slightly better alternative especially in the evenings? Have you watched Neil Oliver “thecoastguy” at 6pm on a Sunday evening?

I am continuing to use https://functionaldx.com/patient-hub/ blood tests on many patients who see me. These amazing tests help find the causes of ill health. They are very different from conventional blood tests because they very cleverly put the normal blood markers into algorithms and come up with an analysis of where weaknesses are occurring in the body. And then a treatment plan to go with it all. Tremendously useful! It is sometimes said, “blood doesn’t lie”, and that is very true of FunctionalDX tests.

In almost all of these tests I have used with patients, one common factor that I have found is how frequently patients are very low in Vitamin D. The best way to get Vitamin D is from the sun, so please make sure you get plenty out of doors without getting burnt. Sunscreen blocks the manufacture of Vitamin D in the skin, so it is best not to use it if possible. Many sunscreens contain toxic chemicals. Non-toxic sunscreen is available if you have to use it. They say that suntan lotion may be one of the factors destroying the Great Barrier Reef!

Vitamin D is so important for many reasons, and not just to help keep bones strong. It is very important to strengthen the immune system and help keep us healthy, including helping to prevent cancer. I recommend everyone supplements with 2,000i.u daily. The Government’s own recommendation of 600i.u. or so, has shown to be not nearly enough, especially if one is deficient.

It’s also a very good idea to combine the use of Vit D with some Vitamin K. The two vitamins are synergistic—they work together in the body. Vitamin K also helps to keep bones strong and healthy. It also helps to prevent hardening of the arteries and reducing heart disease. It has a lot going for it! It is found in green leafy vegetables, but use up to 100 mcg a day and combine it with Vitamin D.

And as for the Government inquiry into Covid, from my point of view it is a waste of time and money as it completely misses the point and avoids the most important pieces of information that should coming out of the inquiry. During the so-called epidemic and according to the Government’s own statistics, there were NO EXCESS deaths during it! These came after the new ‘medication’ was administered. Far more useful information came out from the Scottish Covid Inquiry. But of course we did not hear about this in the MSM. It wasn’t convenient.

And meanwhile back in Downing St. we have a new PM who is very friendly with Bill Gates. I wonder how much B.G. profited from the roll- out of the untested experimental MRNA medications? No doubt our new PM will be persuaded to push ahead with new substitutes for meat and encourage us to eat ‘food’ made with insects! B.G. will be making a further fortune manufacturing this! Where is the research to show us that insects are healthy to eat? Many insects contain chitin which is definitely not healthy. And meanwhile the assault on farming and traditional farming practices in the name of ‘climate change’ go on. Please remember the saying, “No farmers= No food”. This assault on farming is going on around the world, not just in our own country. Solar panel ‘farms’ is not farming!

I hope you all enjoy the rest of the Summer and until next time my very best wishes to you all!

 

Spring Blog 2024

 

Vitamin D. I have written about this before, but I will repeat by saying that Vitamin D is probably the most important supplement you can possibly take to help protect your health. Most people are deficient and even if one is not, everyone should be taking 2,000iu every day. It’s easy to buy a test kit online to measure one’s blood level. And if you have a low level then you’ll need to take 4,000iu daily of Vitamin D3 for a few months to raise the level to normal.

And in addition please get out into the sun, preferably without sunscreen that blocks the formation of Vitamin D.

 

Research has discovered so many important functions of Vitamin D during the last few years. In addition to being important to help the immune system, the cardiovascular system, hormones, depression, pain and inflammation, it is now known to help treat & prevent many cancers.

 

The resurgence of interest in Vitamin D came during the Pandemic and it was used successfully to help prevent & treat Covid along with Vitamin C.

 

What is there not to like about it? It is cheap and easily available.

 

Cancer. President Nixon declared “War on Cancer” in 1971 spurring on massive research by pharmaceutical companies all over the World. At that time it was known that one in every three people would get cancer in their lifetime. Now it is two in every three people!! The incidence has increased despite the research and the vast sums of money collected and dispensed for ‘Cancer research’. What a waste!

 

But since the Pandemic, research now shows that low levels of Vitamin D are associated with an increased risk of cancer. Its deficiency has been linked to the development and progression of a number of cancers. But also that higher blood levels of Vitamin D help reduce the risk of several cancers. So maybe the pharmaceutical companies are looking in the wrong place? And in other research, scientists are showing that Vitamin D could help prevent dementia.

 

Alzheimers. There’s lots of interesting information on how to prevent dementia and Alzheimers at https://www.alzheimersprevention.info/

Much good work is going on around the world to help prevent and treat Alzheimers, but you won’t hear about it on the BBC. On the website above you can learn from some leading experts and scientists what it takes to help prevent and treat this awful disease. One, of them, Dr. Dale Bredesen, has been doing amazing work and treatment with Alzheimer’s patients for many years. He started off as a conventional doctor, but now uses nutritional therapy.

 

Pandemic Treaty. And last, but perhaps the most important topic I need to mention, is the proposed legislation that the WHO wants to impose upon all countries around the world by the end of May this year. If this treaty is passed into law by the British Government then we lose much of our sovereignty and control if a new pandemic comes to pass and we will be subject to the whims and dictates of the WHO. Do you want to be locked down again? Bird Flu may be the excuse used.

 

Did you know that the current chairman of the WHO, an Ethiopian, is a former terrorist and is not even a doctor? Did you know that the major funder and controller of policy at the WHO was a software developer and made billions during the Pandemic from vaccines and has no medical qualifications whatsoever. The Pandemic Treaty must not be allowed to be passed by Parliament. You can find out more from www.actionwh.org

 

And just today, the 10th May, I’m reading that Lord Strathcarron, in the House of Lords, is calling for a deferral of this month’s World Health Assembly vote “so that we can have a proper Parliamentary scrutiny of what the Government is signing us up to”. It’s about time the Government is challenged on the legality of even proceeding with this vote.

 

There is now an organisation dedicated to prevent us from becoming entangled with the WHO as this is such a corrupt power seeking institution. Please see www.actionwh.org

 

Weight Loss. And last but not least, with so much publicity concerning weight loss youmay have heard of the new wonder drug to help this problem. And yes, it does work. One of my patients is very pleased with the results as she has lost a lot of weight. BUT please be aware there are some very nasty possible side-effects that it can cause such as: extreme low blood sugar, pancreatitis, gallstones, thyroid cancer and severe allergic reactions, amongst others. And then on the BBC News today they were trumpeting that this new medication could reduce the risk or heart attacks & stroke. As I often say, “follow the money”.

 

My very best wishes to all my readers. Enjoy the Spring weather!

 

 

 

 

And finally the healing results achieved by many hundreds of Power of Eight groups here in the U.K. and around the world have been nothing short of amazing. If you’d like to join a Power of Eight Group here in Swansea, please contact me. We either meet together on a Wednesday evening or do the Intention remotely, all holding an Intention at the same time in our own homes . And if you haven’t read Lynne McTaggart’s book of the same name, I strongly recomment it.
