But that rises to 100% for…
In the early 1920s, a French microbiologist named Henri Boulard was travelling through Indo China (modern day Vietnam) when he noticed something unusual during a cholera outbreak. Local villagers, desperate to manage the severe diarrhoea caused by the infection, weren’t reaching for medicines, they were turning to fruit skins. Boulard observed that people chewed the rinds of lychee and mangosteen, or brewed them into teas, to help…
Tony Blair has quite the legacy. Leaving aside his penchant for starting illegal wars, one of his biggest changes was to flood GP’s surgery with money (1 billion to be exact). Around 2004 he introduced “payment by performance” via the quality and outcomes framework (QOF), a method for monitoring the quality and outcomes of medical intervention. This resulted in a 50% pay rise for GPs (with less…

How’s this for a catchy set of headlines? The pain killer in question is GABAPENTIN. Used for nerve pain and indeed brother to PREGABALIN, these days used as an alternative to valium/benzodiazapine, which we discussed last year: https://www.academyofchiropracticnutrition.com/out-of-the-drug-frying-pan-into-the-fire/ These headlines were based on a recent study: Note linking GABAPENTIN with DEMENTIA isn’t new: But note the recent research is specifically about GABAPENTIN in patients with CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN. So, let’s go back to…
Quick reminder we have the OPTIMAL PREGNANCY TRIO now live. Remember only 5-10% of the general public are getting enough CHOLINE asit is only found in significant amounts in eggs and liver. Are you eating 6 eggs daily or x2 big pieces of liver a week? Not enough choline = not enough ACETYLCHOLINE, which in the peripheral nervous system is the chief neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for…
If there is one thing that puts serious fear straight into the minds of my older patients (probably sixties plus) it is the thought of getting dementia/Alzheimer’s. And with good reason, it is an awful way to die. Sadly, by the time you are getting overt symptoms, it may be too late, certainly if you wait for the NHS to deliver its symptomatic-based care. With…
Another new product and today it is FISH OIL. Now, personally, I drink raw milk and eat meat both from cows feed grass as a base for my omega 3 intake of EPA/DHA. Plus oily fish occasionally, ideally from wild sardines, or occasionally wild salmon. Once upon a time, I fell into the trap of believing your omega 3-6 ratio was the only thing driving…
If there is one thing the main stream media love to do, it is build something up and then knock if down again. From celebrities to health trends, nothing sells like fear, loathing and righteous indignation. One minute you are the toast of the health town. And the next minute, you have been taken down off the pedestal and given a telling off for giving…
