In case anyone was still unsure of this subtle process of pharma “capturing” health regulators worldwide, this investigation offers damning proof. Regulators, who are supposed to be independent and unbiased by heavy business investment in order to determine which medicine is safe or unsafe, are heavily subsidised. This applies to Federal Drugs Administration (FDA) in the USA, PMDA in Japan, European Medicines Agency (EMA) and our own Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulato

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) public health policy has focused on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus and its effects on human health while environmental factors have been largely ignored. In considering the epidemiological triad (agent-host-environment) applicable to all disease, we investigated a possible environmental factor in the COVID-19 pandemic: ambient radiofrequency radiation from wireless communication systems including microwave

The link below brings you to several research studies, evaluating the role of LDN in a range of chronic conditions. In our audits, LDN has been helping not only people with MS but many other conditions, on its own or combined with other medical interventions. Its safety record, affordability and very low chance of interactions or contra-indications make it a very attractive option. Read LDN Clinical Trial Abstracts

New NICE guidelines for ME/CFS were finally published on 29 October 2021. They replace the 2007 guidelines and mark a welcome shift in emphasis, notably by making a clear pronouncement that ME/CFS is a “complex, chronic medical condition affecting multiple body systems”. The recommendation that graded exercise therapy is a suitable treatment has been removed, which is heartening news for the patients and campaigners who have suffered from debilitating worsening of symptoms in

Researchers found that taking zinc was a viable ‘natural’ means of treating respiratory tract infections at home. Although this meta-analysis did not refer to SARS-Cov-19, I have mentioned this important nutrient in March 2020 in combination with vitamin D, vitamin C, as they are known to raise immune defences against infections in general.

In recent years, food manufacturers have responded well to people with special dietary needs: “Free From” sections often have gluten or milk-free options; I am now seeing kefir yoghurt, lentil crisps and veggie wraps, not overlooking quails eggs and xylitol! But my most recent, best (and flavoursome) encounter was with Calvin's coconut flour bread (actually buns) – the texture is unbelievably soft and the taste is neutral enough to make them a perfect match to olive spread, p

Alcohol, is confirmed (again) to "worsen thinking abilities", reports The Express. Dementia charity Alzheimer's Society is warning of alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD) that could result in greater risk of dementia. The charity – dedicated to dementia research – states that if enough damage is done, alcohol-related " dementia " – otherwise known as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome – can develop. In order to work properly, the brain needs a vitamin called Thiamine. Foods rich in t

Following intensive campaigning since Natasha, a teenager, died from sesame induced anaphylaxis in 2013, “Natasha’s Law” comes into effect today. This makes it mandatory for food manufacturers and all types of food outlets, to ensure that every food product has clear labelling of all its ingredients (even traces), at the cost of sizeable penalties.It is tragic that lives have to be lost first before the food industry takes this risk more seriously. I have just reviewed some t

Outdoor air pollution (raised levels of particulate matter <2.5 micron / PM2.5) of nitrous dioxide, ozone and black carbon is linked with increased risk of death. This collaborative study of eight European groups of some 325,000 adults over nearly 20 years has shown that, exposures even in levels below what have been recommended as “safe” by the World Health Organisation and European and American Standards, there is an increased risk of mortality from all causes. (Brit Med Jo

For parents of children with behaviour problems and/or Autistic Disorders, I strongly recommend the charity Thinking Autism. Run by parents of children who have seen significant improvements using a biological approach, instead of resigning to accept this condition as “irreversible”. Read more on the latest research and science on this fascinating topic.

Doctors have not been immune to SARS-Cov-19 – like many front line clinical staff, they have experienced the same symptoms, sometimes quite severely. Their collective experience is now used to press for more proper investigation into a better understanding of this virus and various means to help people affected by it. If you ‘scan’ the BMJ document carefully, you will see a Dr Jenny Judge being mentioned as a co-signatory (right section). Jenny is currently going through an i

Like many people, concerned about the long term effects of Covid19, I have been ‘digesting' a lot of information beyond what is being reported in the mainstream media. Although there is much debate about its origin, there is very little doubt that this isn’t an ordinary coronavirus. It is capable of altering the behaviour of the immune system, which explains why some infected people who become ill have many vital organs affected, not just the lungs. The chances of recovery de

This is a very balanced analysis of the Covid19 pandemic. It is sad that one doesn’t feel safe to speak out frankly these days without fear of retribution unless they have retired! Welcome to the 21st century! In a hard-hitting interview, retired NHS pathologist Dr John Lee discusses the government’s response to the pandemic, analyses why proven scientific procedures were abandoned, makes the case for ending Lockdown now, and asks the question most doctors are unable to discu

The family of a pastor from Louisiana who died from glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, is suing Motorola, AT&T and other telecommunications companies. The lawsuit, filed April 8, alleges the cancer was caused by exposure to cell phones’ radiation and that the telecommunications industry has engaged for decades in fraudulent practices to hide the health risks of cell phone radiation. The lawsuit was brought by the widow and two sons of Frank Aaron Walker, a pastor, teac

This is yet another study that confirms the critical role that vitamin D has in reducing the risk of Covid-19 causing severe life-threatening illness. Dr Mercola’s newsletters are recommended as they often highlight important scientific findings: A Spanish study found giving supplemental vitamin D3 (calcifediol) to hospitalized patients with PCR-confirmed COVID-19 — in addition to standard care — reduced ICU admissions by 82% and mortality by 64%. People who already had highe

According to new research, autism could be triggered by food allergies or intolerances. A study of almost 200,000 children found those with autism were more than two and a half times as likely to suffer food allergies. As yet the research cannot confirm which comes first, the allergy or ASD. 26.89 percent of children with ASD had skin allergies, whilst only 9.84 percent of those who were not autistic. 18.73 percent of children with ASD suffered respiratory allergies whilst 12

If you wanted to get a “heretical” viewpoint on current treatments for cancer, check this series from the US. The public awareness has reached a tipping point and seems to be forcing Medicine to face some unpalatable truths. Personally I believe we can be very positive about the changes doctors are having to make on their approach to disease because this awareness has started gaining momentum in our medical schools; doctors have at last started recognising the futility of tre

The Science Daily reports on the findings of a dermatologist who highlights that the preservative in many pre-moistened wet wipes is linked to a dramatic rise in allergic reactions. A chemical referred to as MI (methylisothiazolinone) is commonly used in many water-based products such as liquid soaps, hair shampoo, sunscreen, laundry products and cleaners as well as pre-moistened personal hygiene products and baby wipes. The reaction can be red, raised, itchy skin. Commonly

Out comes the sun and we want to fling open the windows, having been cooped up at home for so many months. For those, who suffer with hay fever, that is not possible because with the pollen and rape seed the sneezing begins so they keep their windows shut. However, for others being indoors any time of the year they suffer with itchy eyes, sneezing, runny or stuffy nose – this could be because of dust mite allergy. Dust mites are microscopic organisms that feed on house dust a

A report in The Guardian (16.02.18) talked about the growing source of urban pollution from household chemical products, perfumes, paints, formaldehyde and insecticides. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from household cleaners, personal hygiene products, paints and glues researchers have found significantly affects the air pollution as many of these products come from refined petroleum. The compounds are an important contributor to air pollution because when they waft in
