21.01.2022 Overactive thyroid (Grave's) management tips. This condition is less common than underactive thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. The herbs he mentions can be made up in a mix by a herbalist, and extra personalised herbs can be added.https://drruscio.com/natural-remedies-for-hyperthyroidism/

20.01.2022 One of the main reasons people die from COVID is due to the inflammatory cascade caused by the body’s reaction to the virus known as the ‘cytokine storm’. This research demonstrates positive results using a potent active turmeric compound. Turmeric has many other health benefits as well as anti-inflammatory effect - antioxidant, liver supportive and more!

12.01.2022 Interesting research suggesting that the not all the calories in nuts are necessarily absorbed. Which might explain why they are recommended as part of a healthy diet despite their calories and fat content :)

07.01.2022 Happy to announce Doreen is back on deck doing face-to-face consults including Live blood testing and Bowen Therapy. A long term client (around 20 years) was so excited to see me this week after trying massage, myotherapy, acupuncture and Osteopathy to no avail for his hip pain. After waiting 4 months he is pain free, so his did this little clip to explain his experience: Have you tried Bowen yet? Have you heard about it?

03.01.2022 We may have thought the appendix isn't that important, but research shows it's an important reservoir for beneficial bugs and its removal can impact our long term health. However there are ways to overcome the negative effects. Excerpts from a recent article from Biopractica:... For many years it was believed that the human appendix was a vestigial organ, with no particular use in our current evolutionary state. As a result, the appendix has been routinely removed surgically, as it was considered useless and a risk for later appendicitis. However, research is now showing that the appendix is an important immune organ, and that appendectomies can have substantial health repercussions. The removal of this functional organ is now known to be associated with an increased risk of developing numerous GI disorders, including: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Crohn’s disease Recurrent Clostridum dificile associated colitis Colorectal cancer Gallstones Appendectomies are also known to be linked to increased risk of systemic diseases such as: Rheumatoid arthritis Ischaemic heart disease Mental health disorders Endometriosis There are ways to compensate using evidence-based bacteria probiotic therapy to assist with: Improved microbial diversity (a good thing) Reverse antibiotic-associated disruptions to bowel fora. Reduce the duration of and severity of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea in both children and adults. Email me for more information and references.
