A few weeks ago we discussed the use of binders like charcoal to grab toxins in the gut and stop them getting re-circulated back into the blood from your gut, in an endless re-toxification cycle. But if you need to get toxins actively removed from the cell, because your system is overwhelmed, you need a CHELATOR. I have been using a lot of Zeolites recently, specifically,…
If you really felt you were at risk of a heart attack, and you knew that your lifestyle was part of the risk, would you change your lifestyle? I know I would. Sadly, one of the issues with the “a pill for an ill” model, where someone else takes responsibility for your health and you abdicate, is it tends to take away the fear. You focus on…
Information in the public arena often needs to hit a tipping point before becoming mainstream and really getting into the public consciousness. Ultra-processed foods, for example, are now suddenly openly talked about as a cause of diseases and death. A year or two ago, that simply would not have happened. And now I am beginning to sense the same thing happen with microplastics. We talked…
In my house we are a close family of six. Natalie (Queen of colour). Iris (Chief of savoury based snacks & teenage kicks). Floyd (Captain of fashion). Caesar (head of security). and me. Plus the final, and arguably the most important member, an unsung hero, but a unifier and peacemaker, a work horse going about his business twice a day, the dish washing machine, Big…
Did you know, if you turn up in hospital after swallowing something poisonous, one option is big glass of activated charcoal, 50 grams to be precise. It is in the BNF and everything. Check it out. https://bnf.nice.org.uk/drug/charcoal-activated.html So why charcoal and what does activated mean? You take charcoal made from things like wood or coconuts, then you process it at very high temperatures which changes…
Last week we discussed the very real benefits of Ozempic but also the significant downsides that we know of so far. Today, let us bring it back to our natural and ancestral roots. Remember GLP1 is an incretin hormone, that is released fromm the gut and tells you when you are full, controls gastric emptying, insulin levels and, indeed, many things that drive fat accumulation…
Have you seen the recent headlines on the “miracle” weight loss drug Ozempic? It is everywhere, and it is likely to be the best-selling drug of all time. It does make you slimmer, there is no doubt about that, but as ever, the devil is in the detail, and we must be cautious about side-effects. Big pharma are not known for their honesty in this regard. See…
Firstly, huge shout out to Ricardo Fujikawa for organising an amazing event! Last time I went to an ECU it was London 2010, and it was drier than a roast dinner without the gravy. One academic researcher told us all about his analysis of manipulation for acute low back pain and how he wasn’t sure it really worked, there wasn’t enough evidence to support it…
By the time you read this, I will be basking in the sunshine of Valencia at the ECU’s 2024 conference. Whenever I lecture to new groups, I am always looking to take previous lectures and make them even more simple, more straight line to clinical actions and solutions. We are shortly going to have a vitamin B12 flow chart available to order as part of…
Did you know we have a WhatsApp, Academy of Chiropractic Nutrition group? It is a broadcast only group, so I will occasionally drop in useful information and research for you to consume but you and others cannot reply per se. This is especially useful if you are not on FB. Join us: Thirteen years ago when my wife was pregnant with our first child (my…
