25.01.2022 There you have it!"The researchers found that the participants in the group that ate organic foods most often were 75 percent less likely to develop cancer, compared to those in the group that never ate them. When considering individual types of cancer, the findings were strongest for postmenopausal breast cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and other lymphomas."

24.01.2022 Hands up who loves and respects the gut as much as I do? Time to rehash and old fav ~ those little guys in our gut whom out number our cells 10:1, are responsible pretty much for everything: from how we feel to whether we have an autoimmune condition. I honestly feel that we say the we feel like "cr4p" for a reason! Have a read: Alexandra ~ Functional Medicine naturopath, herbalist, nutritionist

23.01.2022 I love this - we are constantly concerned on how we project ourselves to others: How good would it be if we could all that energy just working on being the best humans that we could be - it would be revolutionary <3 Do I have an answer ~ absolutely not : its just a nice thought Alexandra ~ Board Certified Functional Medicine naturopath, herbalist, nutritionist

23.01.2022 Sweaty head? you may have low vitamin D Not a huge fan of the sensationalism, but this video has some good points about Superhero vitamin D And if you think that we are exempt in Australia ~ think again - we have some of the lowest levels in the world - Dubai is worse.

18.01.2022 Did you know that spending time outdoors is actually great for your immune system? Jpana’s scientists found that spending time in a forest actually boosted your immune system for days afterwards! Why? Because your immune system loves challenges. And just the smells and different light in a forest can do just that! So good. We call her Mother Nature got a reason! Alexandra ~ Functional Medicine naturopath, herbalist, nutritionist

18.01.2022 Weird science!! But is clogging your sweat ducts such a clever idea since they are such a vital part of our body’s detox ? Alexandra ~ Functional Medicine naturopath, Nutritionist

18.01.2022 This is such a great thing to do at the end of a tough day. Just be mindful that you don't have a complete 90 degree right angle at the groin , as this will decrease the blood flow, which isn't cool!

18.01.2022 The very clever Dhatis Kharrazian has finally proven that chemicals in your bloodstream well contribute to your autoimmune thyroid disease Science is once again catching up to the fact that eating and living clean is really our only prob. Especially if you have an autoimmune disease BOOM I would like to share with everyone a study we just got published in the International Journal of Molecular Science. We discovered a new mechanism of how chemicals can disrupt thyroid f...unction that has not been published previously. We found chemicals have the ability to bind to ubiquitous proteins in the blood (human serum albumin) and change the molecular structure of the proteins. This change converts the protein into a neoantigen, and the immune system forms antibodies against them. We found that these antibodies can cross-react and induce immunological cross-reactivity against thyroid axis target sits such as TSH, T3, 5-Diodinase, T4, etc. These findings suggest the chemicals such as BPA in plastic, fire retardants in our homes, and benzene rings from cigarette smoke and various other chemicals induce an immunological response that involves B-cells and cross-reactivity. Previous studies have focused on oxidative stress, antigen-presenting cells, and T-cells. Thank you Dhatis and Functional medicine for your continued brilliance and diligence to this vital information #autoimmunity #thyroid #hashimotos #liveclean Alexandra ~ Functional Medicine naturopath, herbalist, nutritionist MHS IFMCP~

17.01.2022 Being bilingual, I can understand the reasoning. But I really don’t know. I do call my thoughts Denglisch when I mix the languages up in one sentence! Interesting read Alexandra ~ Functional Medicine naturopath, herbalist, nutritionist

16.01.2022 Hmm... 7 years ago already the CDC warned about the "unscientific-ness of the research. I suspect it has gotten a lot worse I will just leave this here shall I? "The CDC pledges To base all public health decisions on the highest quality scientific data, openly and objectively derived. But Peter Doshi argues that in the case of influenza vaccinations and their marketing, this is not soAlexandra ~ Functional Medicine naturopath, herbalist, nutritionist

10.01.2022 Again a great example of science finally acknowledging that heavy metals, in particular those in dental fillings may be a problem. It's a start, one day it will be recognised that it's dangerous for all. Doctors are now starting to warn you regarding eating too much seafood due to mercury, considering that amalgams gas off far more mercury, the connection is rather obvious.

06.01.2022 For us "Down Under" We are now only a few weeks away from summer - and of course it gets hot here!

06.01.2022 The UK is set to impose a ban on all junk food advertising - including online: "Crucially, research suggests that such an online advert ban will be most beneficial to children whose parents earn the least (and are therefore at increased risk of obesity and other diet-related illnesses), compared to those who earn the most, thus additionally playing a role in reducing socioeconomic health inequalities." An interesting article on why the UK government is taking such drastic measures: I always say - if you have to advertise it, it's probably not food!

04.01.2022 Stomach acid is there for a reason.

03.01.2022 Storms aside, hasn't the rain been beautiful I love growing my own food? Who doesn't? It always seems to taste so much better..

Here is a bit of a collage of my little herbies - planted right outside my front door so that I can pick as I need. But check out this cool website, about gardening in small spaces. ...Th most valuable tip ever?? Never underestimate the power of fertiliser - plants need to eat as well.

02.01.2022 Those viruses certainly seem like creatures from another world, perfectly adapted to live within ours! "He and his colleagues have now found that some giant viruses called pandoraviruses generate a membrane potential an electrical gradient across their outer membrane. It takes energy to generate a membrane potential, and since these are present in isolated viruses as well as in those inside cells, that energy must come from the virus itself, says La Scola."

02.01.2022 Monkey See Monkey Do Be the best "mirror" for your chidden that you can ~ it is so crucially important "...it is the power of mirroring that has enabled humanity to evolve to where it is today. The neocortex, the part of our brain that makes us most uniquely human, comes least ‘pre-programmed’ when we are born. Particularly in the early years of our lives, it fills rapidly with ‘information’ specific to our society and culture, allowing us to navigate our social world and ‘fit in’ with the customs and beliefs of the people around us."
