25.01.2022 I just signed up to support the open doctor letter to Premier Andrews. You can read the letter at the website below and if you are a doctor (from Victoria or anywhere in Australia) and would like to show your support please fill out your details at: www.coviddoctorsnetwork.com

23.01.2022 In follow-up from my peer-reviewed article on the use of heat to treat COVID-19, I have published a position paper that reviews the evidence that supports hydrothermal facilities being classified as essential services during the pandemic. This paper is now available at the Global Wellness Institute's Hydrothermal and Hot Springs Initiatives website as well as the site of the World Federation of Hydrotherapy and Climatotherapy (FEMTEC) and this paper is also being translated i...nto Chinese and Russian. Despite the evidence for the long-term efficacy and safety of hydrothermal therapies, the WHO and CDC and health authorities around the world are spreading blatantly false information that is preventing people from using hydrothermal treatments and give the impression there is no way to enhance immunity and people must wait in fear until a vaccine is available. Water is the most basic requirement for life and bathing is the cheapest, simplest and most effective health intervention on earth. When you get the basic things right, everything else seems to work out by itself and when water flows well, wellness follows. Bathing offers global health benefits beyond any pharmaceutical drug, vaccine, or any other medical technology and if the money currently being spent on vaccines was spent on clean water, most infectious diseases in the world would be eradicated, and global health would be boosted to a level where we could all travel freely without fear of infection. https://www.femteconline.org/?s=NEWS/0057-COVID https://globalwellnessinstitute.org//global-hot-springs-r/

23.01.2022 Cinnamon (Cinnamon cassia and Cinnamon verum) may bring us delightful childhood memories of festivities and baking. However, it is more than just a decoration. The sumptuous cinnamon in your kitchen is also a healing powerhouse that has adorned and anointed temples and boosted immune systems in times of contagion when it was valued as a spice and flavoring agent and was used for embalming bodies, preserving foods, flavouring drinks and for medicine. Cinnamon’s warm fragrance... is due to eugenol, cinnamaldehyde and other compounds in its volatile oils that act as powerful mood enhancers. Cinnamon also contains bioflavonoids, procyanidins, catechins and other compounds that bestow anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activity along with lipid and glucose-lowering activity and broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Cinnamon is used in as a medicine alongside other herbs to treat and prevent colds and flu, toothaches, dental problems, bad breath, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease, as well as being used as a spice in foods and sprinkled on hot beverages.

22.01.2022 Dear Friends and Colleagues, As the world enters a phase of major transition, wellness is needed more than ever. I’ve been anticipating this transition my whole life as I realised from an early age that within my lifetime, humanity would either destroy itself or break-through to a new more enlightened way of being. As I could not tell which outcome was more likely, I figured that rather than be fearful and fight against the coming apocalypse, I would fearlessly focus on creat...Continue reading

20.01.2022 Melbourne needs us all to be superheros. We can overcome fear simply by connecting with our inner-superhero and taking a superhero stance.

19.01.2022 The Global Wellness Summit at the Breakers in Florida last week was the first Summit I've missed since it began 14 years ago. I did attend remotely however and joined my fellow Board members in sharing positive thoughts on the future of the wellness industry. I am certainly optimistic about the future and have many new projects falling into place including the Extreme Wellness Academy, Extremely Alive Wellness Tonics, Beautiful Water Systems and my new children's book for ad...ults called "Bing & Bang Begin", which is a poetic primer on mindfulness, quantum physics, thermodynamics, evolution and eastern cosmology. Keep watching this space as these projects are launched. https://www.spabusiness.com//Optimism-for-the-futur/346614

19.01.2022 Just over 5 years ago myself along with a group of hot springs experts and investors bought Maruia Hot Springs in New Zealand, which was then a somewhat quirky, run-down, Japanese-style, hot spring resort in the heart of New Zealand's Southern Alps. Since then we began upgrading the facilities and services and adding 'wellness entertainment experiences' and Extreme Wellness Retreats that featured 'Forest Bathing', 'Extreme Bathing' and 'Adventure Bathing' in the spectacular ...alpine wilderness. Our work and foresight is now paying off and for the third year in a row we have received awards for excellence. This year we won the World Luxury Spa Award for "Best Global Luxury Thermal Resort" along with the award for "Best Luxury Eco Spa in Australia and Oceania". This is now the third year in a row that we have received Luxury Spa Awards and we are now planning further upgrades to the accommodation and bathhouse to include new wellness experiences that will take the property to a whole new level. As an off-the-grid, eco-resort, powered by its own hydroelectric station and surrounded on all sides by hundreds of thousands of acres of alpine national park Maruia Hot Springs is already in a class of its own and it is only going to get better. . . Can't wait till the borders open so we can set dates for the next Extreme Wellness Retreat. Watch this space for dates as spaces are limited and they are sure to fill up fast. #extremewellness #hotsprings #ecoresort #ecoretreat #wellnessretreat #luxuryspaaward

09.01.2022 The Antidote to Fear Ever since I was in primary school in the early 1970s and read The Limits to Growth I’ve been anticipating a global collapse and believed that in my lifetime humanity would either destroy itself or break through to a new age of enlightenment. As I could not tell which outcome was more likely, I figured breakdown or breakthrough were equally possible and that rather than be fearful and fight against the coming apocalypse, I would fearlessly focus on crea...ting a world of wellness. I then made a decision to devote my life to studying and researching health and wellness, as I thought this would lead me to have the most fun and fulfilling life and allow me to help tip the scales when the apocalypse finally came. Forty years on it seems the apocalypse is upon and there is a lot of fear going around as governments are intent on keeping us sick, scared, jobless, helpless and hopeless. To counter this fear I have attempted to condense my 40 years of accumulated medical knowledge into bit size chunks and they seem to be coming out as poetry. I previously shared my Recipe for Wellness and the SlowDown Shuffle, which lists 50 evidenced-based immune-boosting activities that can help you go from wired and tired to chilled and fulfilled. I also shared the 10 Hacks to Relax which serve as emotional first aid that allow you to relax on demand anytime you are scared anxious upset or in pain. I have now come up with following Antidote to Fear: Antidote to fear Foster Love of Poetry Express yourself through dance Fill your life with fun and joy Friendship and Romance Focus on the world you want Be the change you want to see Spread goodwill to all you meet Live fearless and free Fear or love: good wolf or bad wolf: which one will you feed? Rather than give into fear or fighting what we don’t want, I believe it is more fruitful to focus on love and creating what we do want. I hope these poems help you focus on what is important. The are certainly helping me. Please share. https://www.extremewellness.co//09/07/the-antidote-to-fear/

06.01.2022 There has been an unexpected water contamination event in 88 Melbourne suburbs that is affecting 250,000 homes supplied by Yarra Valley Water. If you live in one of these suburbs (as I do) you are advised to boil your water before drinking it. For the past few years I have been working on developing the best possible water filtration systems for home use and now offer Extreme Wellness Water Filters, which can make your water microbiologically safe from bacteria, spores and vi...ruses as well as eliminating other toxic contaminants. Water is the basic infrastructure for our body and well-filtered water is the best hydrater, moisturiser and cleanser for your skin. I consider a quality (preferably whole house) water filter to be the best investment in your health and when you upgrade your water you upgrade your life. It is also a wonderful feeling to be able to shower, cook and clean with quality water so that you are not constantly waging war on your microbiome. The best time to get a water filter is at least a year ago. The second best time is right now! Because if you don't use a filter you are a filter, and drinking less poison is good for you! Extreme Wellness Filters are available at: https://www.extremewellness.co/product-categ/water-filters/

05.01.2022 One of the berries that I enjoy growing in my back garden is the beautiful Inca berry (Physalis peruviana) also known as cape gooseberry, goldenberry or Chinese lantern. Inca berries are tangy, sweet and sour tasting berries from the nightshade family that were first cultivated by the Inca in Peru and are now found across the world. The bright orange berries, which grow within a lantern-like calyx, get their colour from high levels of carotenoids and polyphenols and the chewy... pulp and small crunchy seeds contain high levels of both soluble and insoluble fibre. As well as being a delicious food, inca berries are used in traditional medicine for their antispasmodic, diuretic, antiseptic, sedative, and analgesic properties. Inca berries are especially good when covered in organic dark chocolate as their strong tangy tartness perfectly complements the bitter-sweetness of the dark chocolate. These berries can be grown easily from cuttings and the ones in my garden supply me with a handful of fruit for 3-4 months every year. Give them a try and let me know how you like them. More evidence-based research on the golden inca berry can be found: Puente, L.A., et al., Physalis peruviana Linnaeus, the multiple properties of a highly functional fruit: A review. Food Research International, 2011. 44(7): p. 1733-1740.
