24.01.2022 When making coleslaw, I just keep a little cabbage aside to make a small fermented cabbage. With the warm sun weather this week, this should ferment in a few days.

24.01.2022 Bioceuticals webinar

23.01.2022 Soooo looking forward to Sally Kingsford-Smith webinar through ATMS on Dorothy Hall.

21.01.2022 Have you tried any of these food waste reduction tips from Reducewastenow / Zero Waste Shop? What tips and tricks to reduce food waste do you use at home? In C...anada, almost 60% of the food produced here is lost or wasted. OVER HALF!! Food waste has serious environmental implications - worldwide, food waste causes more GHG emissions than aviation >Meanwhile, food insecurity is set to double by the end of 2020 due to the impacts of COVID-19, leaving 8 million people in Canada struggling to put food on the table. We can do better! While indivdual efforts to reduce wasted food is important, we need Canadian supermarkets to do their part. Every single day, they throw away tons of unsold food. ADD YOUR NAME>> https://act.gp/3g9L2Ts let's get them to commit to zero food waste by the end of the year - to fight food insecurity and the climate crisis.

21.01.2022 Food is more powerful than any drug when it comes to reversing disease (in fact, most drugs dont prevent disease, they merely manage it). Most diseases associa...ted with aging are driven by food (bad food), but good food can often cure them. If I had one medicine to take with me anywhere in the world to heal people it would be food. My patients are often shocked and surprised when theyre healed by a change in diet. It seems almost magical. See more

21.01.2022 Here, have a dose of happy chemicals. Treat yoself!

20.01.2022 Dr Mark Hyman..... New headline. Vitamin D doesnt improve outcomes in asthma patients. Does this mean vitamin D is useless? Or does it mean the study was misguided and predictably failed to show benefit. This study underscores the flaw in modern medicine. Using supplements as drugs doesnt work and doesnt make sense. It is why we see all these failed trials for things like asthma, heart disease, cancer and more. Heres the flaw. If you dont treat the root cause, as ...we do in functional medicine, then of course using a bandaid will fail. If asthma is caused by problems with the microbiome, low magnesium, food sensitivities, gluten, dairy, or mold, for example, then taking vitamin D wont help. If you are standing on a tack, the treatment is removing the tack, not taking a lot of aspirin (or vitamin D). If you are standing on two tacks, taking one out doesnt make you 50% better. You need to take out all the takes. If you are sensitive to gluten and dairy, for example, then just removing one wont fully help you. We need to treat the whole system, not the symptoms and treat the root cause. Until medicine moves into the 21st century, and we reimagine disease based on systems thinking, not organs or diseases, then these studies will continue to fail. Does this mean that vitamin D is useless, and you should stop taking it. Heck no! It has hundreds of functions in your body, all needed for optimal health. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2769724

19.01.2022 Can I get all the nutrients I need from food? a patient will occasionally ask. On the surface, this makes sense. After all, if you are eating a whole, fresh, ...unprocessed foods diet, shouldnt you be able to get an abundant supply of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients? Unfortunately, things arent that easy. Even with a perfect diet, the combination of many things including our depleted soils, the storage and transportation of our food, genetic alterations of traditional heirloom species, and the increased stress and nutritional demands resulting from a toxic environment make it impossible for us to get the vitamins and minerals we need solely from the foods we eat. These are among the reasons why everyone, at the very least, needs a good multivitamin, fish oil, and vitamin D. I also recommend probiotics because modern life, diet, and antibiotics, as well as other drugs, damage our gut ecosystem, which is so important in keeping us healthy. See more

19.01.2022 From Dr Ian Brighthope: Singapore has shown that Vitamin D, Magnesium and Vitamin B12 reduce the severity fo COVID-19 in the elderly. We are seeing studies supporting our CD Zinc Campaign. The dose of Vitamin D3 was 1000 IU. Better results are achieved with 5,000-10,000 IU. The dose of magnesium was 150mg. Better results may be achieved with 400-600mg.... The vitamin B12 was to help improve the gut microbiome. Probiotics should be considered for this management. My colleagues in China advise me that probiotics are being recommended for the microbiome. There are some researchers arguing that doses above 4,000 IU may be dangerous. This is incorrect. Doses of 50,000IU for short periods are safe and effective during severe influenza outbreaks. Our colleagues in medicine who have been using vitamins and other nutrients in therapy attest to these facts. In fact, a single dose of 600,000IU is not toxic. Its the same with ascorbate (vitamin C). We are still being told that anything above 100mg per day is toxic to the kidney. Many doctors around the world are familiar with high dose intravenous vitamin C (HDIVC) at 100,000mg per day and as his as 200,000mg, without kidney damage and sometimes, improving renal function.

18.01.2022 Sunny Calendula officinalis and Malva sylvestre flowers. My experimental mallow kimchi and my kitchen bench, with flowers and vinegars.

17.01.2022 Peppermint and a couple of leaves of lemon verbena. Two reviving, but calming scents snd herbs. I’ll dry and make a cuppa...

17.01.2022 As Im gluten, nut and egg free, I have never tried red velvet cake. This vegan recipe came across my newsfeed. I swapped the cashews to tahini, and instead of the icing (as I dont have coconut butter) I topped it with whipped cream, which could be changed to whipped coconut cream. Its a no bake recipe and quick and easy to do.

16.01.2022 With a cold, gusty wind outside, its time to put the fire on, light up the gas oven and make a zucchini bread. My friend, Laura, grew this beautiful broccoli and dropped it off yesterday, so I subbed 1/2 cup zucchini with 1/2 cup of broccoli. Instead of eggs, I used two chia eggs, and also subbed gluten free flour. Smells delicious and Im looking forward to afternoon tea.

16.01.2022 Webinar at 8am on sarcopenia - loss of muscle strength, mass and function - by Bioconcepts

16.01.2022 I expected this to be a quinoa porridge, but....,All is not as it seems.... read the label!! And check out the "apple pieces"! They are Concentrated apple puree, invert sugar, granulated sugar, humectant (glycerol), citrus fibre, acidity regulator (malic acid), pectin (emulsifier), flavour (natural). The first ingredient is Rice Flour, then "apple pieces" (15%) (which, as we can see, is mostly sugars of various names), then yellow pea flour, then quinoa flour (10%), psyllium seed husk, rice bran, Cinnamon (3%), Emulsifier (Monoglyceride from vegetable), salt, turmeric, antioxidant (rosemary extract). How on earth do they call this "quinoa porridge"?

15.01.2022 One of my class said yesterday that they were eating better since coming to The Change Project Food as Medicine course. Theyre adding more greens and vegetables and fibre to their eating. It made my week!!

15.01.2022 Someone asked me the other day, Dr. Hyman if you had 5 minutes to sit with our current President, or any of the other candidates running, what would you want t...o talk about? I didnt even have to think twice! These are the top 5 things I would tell the current President, and future ones, too Revolutionizing the food industry is THE most important issue right now. If we overhaul the food system we can save our economy, our planet, and our health. We can reduce violent crimes, chronic disease, and we can work toward a world where everyone has access to real, whole, nutrient-dense foods. If this is important to you too, help me spread the word. My new book Food Fix offers a prescription to get us out of this mess. If you want to help me transform the world, order Food Fix today, and lets get started by taking back our own health, the health of our families, and communities. Lets do this together. See more

15.01.2022 Malva sylvestris from my weed patch. Planning on fermenting for a kimchi.

15.01.2022 Final U3A class today. The Change Project continues for another 3 weeks. Today we looked at more natural ways of cleaning our homes as a Griffith University study showed that inside our homes can be more toxic than outside. We made a simple herbal vinegar with a choice of my lavender, plantain and rosemary.

15.01.2022 In the High Country Herald today.

14.01.2022 One of the biggest food lies of all time is that all calories are created equal. Food is more than just calories, it’s information that our cells need to ...function, information that our metabolism can use to either run efficiently or sluggishly trudge along. When you eat a piece of sugar, fruit juice or refined carbohydrates, it goes right to your liver, where it starts manufacturing fat, triggering more insulin resistance and causing chronically elevated blood insulin levels, driving your body to store everything you eat as even more belly fat. Broccoli on the other hand is rich in fiber and low in carbohydrates and sugar. You’d have to eat a huge amount of Broccoli to reach the same amount of calories that just one small bag of candy could provide, and thanks to fiber you’d be full long before that could ever happen. Eating well should not be all about watching QUANTITY, you need to be paying attention to QUALITY. Real foods like colorful vegetables, low-glycemic fruits, healthy fats (like nuts, seeds, avocados, olives, etc.), gluten-free whole grains, legumes, and responsibly sourced animals proteins and seafoodthe foods I recommend in my Pegan dietare going to give your cells the information they need to function at their very best. So choose kale over candy and focus on quality more than quantity; it will change your relationship to food and your health will thank you. See more

13.01.2022 Our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate more than 800 varieties of plants providing them with all that fiber I mentioned earlier, along with an abundance of different... nutrients. We should take a note from history and try to get as much diversity as we can in our diets, too. Eat an assortment of colorful plant foods on a daily basis and youll reap the benefits of numerous phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals that support optimal health. The color of a plant signals different beneficial compounds within it, with each color group representing naturally protective healing substances. See more

13.01.2022 The Gardasil/HPV vaccine - Informed Consent: The data, dangers, and deaths. Introduction to the Gardasil vaccine... The Gardasil vaccine has been considered to be a breakthrough vaccine for women and women's health, marketed incorrectly and somewhat ironically as "the cervical cancer vaccine", allegedly for the prevention of cervical cancer. But does it really do this? No! The Gardasil vaccine is not going to prevent cervical cancer, as it is an HPV vaccine - a vaccine against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a viral infection that is mostly, but not completely, a sexually-transmitted disease. With over 100 HPV viruses in the wild, can this vaccine really prevent an HPV infection or even cervical cancer? Again, no! In 2007, the first Gardasil vaccine became available for public use, containing 4 strains of HPV - 2 which can cause genital warts, and 2 that may cause cervical cancer. Hence this version is now known as Gardasil 4. In 2018 a new Gardasil vaccine became available, with 9 strains of HPV viruses - still a long way short of the 100 possibles (WHO, 2019). The Gardasil vaccine was initially given only to girls of pre-teen or teenage years. In more recent times, teen boys are now recommended to get this vaccine too, as while they do not have a cervix, they can carry the HPV vaccine and infect their sexual partners. This article will look at what you are not being told about this vaccine, why it is one of the most dangerous vaccines to ever come onto the market, and why you need to read this and confirm this information, BEFORE you inject your children with it... This is called "informed consent" - the right to know what you and your children are being injected with in this medical procedure, of the risks vs benefits, side effects and possible adverse outcomes of which there are many, so that you can make up your own minds as to whether you wish to submit your children to this almost untested vaccine, and the right to decline based on being given this information. Yes Gardasil is "almost untested" is actually true - it wasn't tested in a true scientific way, as explained in these referenced facts below. In this article and the following facts, I will refer to the original Gardasil vaccine as "Gardasil 4" to differentiate it from information from the new 2018 version of "Gardasil 9". The following is a summary of key points in the history, testing, and use of the Gardasil vaccines, including side effects and severe adverse reactions: 1. The original Gardasil 4 vaccine was fast-tracked by US drug regulators, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after only a 6-month clinical test. Normally, new vaccines take many years to a decade or longer to undergo testing before approval is granted. This lack of testing will be explained further below, and is why it has many health effects. 2. There are over 100 types of the Human Papillomavirus (WHO, 2019), yet the original Gardasil vaccine only contained virus particles to 4 of them (FDA, 2018). The new Gardasil 9 still only contains 9 types of HPV particles. 3. In scientific testing of pharmaceuticals and vaccines, the manufacturer must compare the results of the test group (those receiving the drug or vaccine) against a control group (those receiving a placebo) - people who do not actually get the drug or vaccine. The placebo generally must be an inert substance, or one which does NOT have any effect, such as a sugar pill or a saline (salt) injection. Tests are normally done "blinded", meaning that the test subjects are not aware that they are getting the actual product being tested or the placebo, or "double-blinded", so the test subjects AND the researchers don't know who is getting what - to reduce any possible bias or manipulation of the data. In Gardasil 4, the manufacturer did NOT use an inert placebo, but one containing "Amorphous Aluminium Hydroxyphosphate Sulfate" (Seqirus, 2019), being the adjuvant (an immune system stimulating) product used in the real vaccine! The same adjuvant was used in the vaccine AND in the control group. This was a deliberate attempt at manipulating the test results to show that the vaccine caused no more side effects than the placebo, and thus be deemed "safe". Despite the fact that the vaccine (and the placebo) both caused many side effects, and the manipulation of the scientific method used in the tests of this product, it was approved by the authorities. Read more below about the issues with this aluminium adjuvant. 4. Gardasil 4 contains 225 micrograms of aluminium as an adjuvant. Gardasil 9 has over DOUBLE this amount of neurotoxic aluminium at 500 micrograms (Sequiris, 2019). 5. The Gardasil vaccine protocol requires a series of 3 vaccinations. This is because the seroconversion, or development of HPV antibodies, is very low or non-existent in many recipients after the first shot. Hence a second and third shot are needed, to try and stimulate the immune system into producing HPV antibodies. Even after 3 Gardasil vaccinations, some recipients may not have developed any antibodies, and are therefore not immune to the virus. 6. Gardasil was tested by the manufacturer on females from 16 to 45 years old, and males from 16 to 26 years old. Yet the age group which the vaccine is given to is much younger - usually 12-15 years (Sequiris, 2019). In effect, those in this age group are given a vaccine which is UNTESTED for this population. 7. Even in the manufacturer's own testing of the vaccine, people still contracted HPV and some even developed cervical cancer to CIN III stage, which was serious enough to require surgery. Yet the manufacturer still claimed 100% efficacy for protection against the 4 HPV types (Seqirus, 2019). 8. Even the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, the US medicines regulator) says on their website that "Most people don't have any signs (of HPV infection). HPV may go away on its own-- without causing any health problems"! So why do we need this dangerous vaccine?! (FDA, 2018) 9. The manufacturer noted in their product information for Gardasil 4 that testing showed "Subjects who were already infected with one or more vaccine-related HPV types prior to vaccination were protected from clinical disease caused by the remaining vaccine HPV types" (Seqirus, 2019). This is your natural immune system doing its job! So actually contracting the HPV naturally actually stimulates immune protection against the other types! So again, why do we need this vaccine? 10. The manufacturer also noted that test subjects who already had HPV at the time of testing the vaccine "did not show a statistically significant reduction of CIN or AIS (cervical cancer) compared to placebo". They also said "GARDASIL has not been shown to protect against the diseases caused by every HPV type, and will not treat existing disease" (Seqirus, 2019). 11. People who are sensitive to any of the ingredients of Gardasil must not receive the vaccine. Those who develop symptoms of hypersensitivity after receiving a dose of Gardasil should not receive further doses (Seqirus, 2019). 12. Gardasil 4 was not been tested for whether or not it, or its ingredients, may cause cancer. It was also not tested for whether it may cause gene damage which can precede or subsequently cause cancer (Seqirus, 2019). 13. Gardasil 4 was tested for possible effects on fertility, in rats, without any effects. But humans are not rats. Gardasil 4 was also tested for fertility effects in women (Sequiris, 2019). 14. Gardasil 4 was not tested in pregnant women, and is not recommended for pregnant women. Despite scientific protocols banning pregnant women from being used as medical test subjects, Gardasil 4 was tested on pregnant women, which resulted in spontaneous abortions, miscarriages, late foetal death, and birth defects in those who received either the Gardasil 4 vaccine or the (aluminium-laced) placebo in 22-27% of cases known. Yet despite these results, the manufacturer claims, "there is no evidence to suggest that administration of GARDASIL adversely affects fertility, pregnancy, or infant outcomes" (Seqirus, 2019). 15. Gardasil 4 was not tested in humans for effects on lactation (breastfeeding). Studies in rats showed HPV antibodies in the offspring, so the vaccine does get transferred via breast milk (Seqirus, 2019). 16. Side effects of Gardasil 4 were only recorded within 15 days of the vaccination, and include pain and swelling around the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness and pain in extremities, difficulty breathing, joint pains, migraines. 17. Other Gardasil side effects and reactions include seizures, systemic pain, headaches, muscle pain and weakness, joint pain, paralysis, fatigue, numbness, low blood pressure, high heart rate, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, respiratory difficulties, asthma, menstrual disorders, psychological issues, hallucinations, cognitive impairments, memory difficulties, poor concentration, sleep disorders, and many more (Beppu et al., 2017). 18. Due to the number of adverse reactions and complaints about Gardasil, some countries (such as Japan) have stopped the Gardasil vaccination program (Beppu et al., 2017). Considering that other countries are having exactly the same adverse reactions and deaths, why haven't our health departments or drug regulators done the same? 19. Because Gardasil contains aluminium as an adjuvant, and aluminium having neurotoxic effects - being toxic and damaging to nerves, the nervous system and brain, Gardasil can cause nerve damage that results in chronic, severe and long-term side effects (Shaw & Petrik, 2009; Alleva, Rankin & Santucci, 1998; Shaw, Li & Tomljenovic, 2014). 20. Side effects to Gardasil can be varied and difficult to trace back to the one of the 3 shots needed. 21. The HPV virus is responsible for 70% of cervical cancers, so a vaccine against this virus isn't going to prevent all possible cases (New Scientist, 2006). 22. Ten people died from the original manufacturer's testing of the 2 Gardasil vaccines, 5 in each study. Many hundreds more have died from the Gardasil vaccination since it has been on the market. Death shortly after being vaccinated with Gardasil is a very real outcome. Hence why it is so important to be informed of this information, and having a right to decline this vaccine. Where there is a risk, there must be a choice. And an informed choice, which you have not been given, until now. 23. Before Gardasil 4 was introduced, rates of cervical cancer were already falling and were at their lowest levels ever recorded. This reduction of incidences of cervical cancer were due to increased sex education, promotion of condoms and other initiatives. 24. When Gardasil 4 was released in 2007, the rates of cervical cancer have INCREASED in Australia, the UK and other countries every year since. Gardasil has NOT reduced rates of cervical cancer at all! (Cancer Research UK, 2019) 25. Cancer Research UK announced an alarming 93% increase in cervical cancer among 20-24 year olds, and approximately 50% in 24-29-year-olds, the first generation to receive the HPV jabs (Cancer Research UK, 2019). See the graph picture, which shows 3 blue lines rising since 2007 for increased incidences in all these age groups: 26. Gardasil is known to cause several autoimmune conditions, including SLE (ie, lupus), ASIA syndrome (Autoimmune Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants), Multiple Sclerosis, Transverse Myelitis (an autoimmune neurological condition, similar to Multiple Sclerosis or paralysis), and others, in many cases very shortly after the vaccination (Vadalà, Poddighe, Laurino & Palmieri, 2017; Hu, 2019). The manufacturer's own product insert states that 2.2% of Gardasil 9 recipients and 3.3% of Gardasil 4 recipients developed NEW autoimmune medical conditions after the vaccine (Merck, 2020). See the screenshot of this statement taken from the USA product insert in the post's images. Note that this statement does NOT appear in the Australian product information insert for Gardasil 9. 27. Gardasil can cause a little-mentioned adverse event condition called "ovarian failure", or in another word, "sterility" in females (Vadalà, Poddighe, Laurino & Palmieri, 2017). Affected girls and women won't be able to have children, as a direct result of the Gardasil vaccine. Hence if you (as a parent) are looking for more balanced and informed advice on Gardasil, and if you would like grandchildren, perhaps you should not recommend this vaccine to your children. 28. Vaccinations only give at best a temporary immunity to an HPV infection, of approximately 4 years (WebMD, 2020). After this time, when many adolescents are beginning to have sex, they may no longer be immune to HPV. 29. As Gardasil doesn't protect people from other sexually-transmitted infections, condoms and/or other contraceptives are still required. Condoms can reduce the risks of contracting HPV, genital warts and also cervical cancer, even without the vaccine (CDC, 2019). 30. In Australia there is a class action legal action taking place, for victims of the Gardasil vaccine who had severe adverse reactions. They have a Facebook page called "Gardasil Class Action Australia" if you would like to join and find out more. Risk factors for contracting HPV and development of cervical cancer Studies have shown that cervical cancer isn't only caused by the HPV virus. In fact, other causative factors must also occur for the development and progression of cervical cancer, especially: 1. an imbalance in the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone, and male hormone testosterone (Roura et al., 2016), 2. and an immune system dysfunction. Other factors which can increase the risks of HPV and cervical cancer include (Burd, 2003): Stress - very common around teenage and adolescent years, as stress causes a hormone imbalance, nutrient deficiencies and lowers immune system function Nutrient deficiencies - for nutrients needed for immune system function, hormone production, growth and tissue repair Lifestyle factors - drinking, smoking, drugs, insufficient sleep quantity or quality, low exercise Medications - anti-inflammatories, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and immuno-suppressives Other infections - Cytomegalovirus, human herpesvirus 6 and 7 and others Oral contraceptives - long term use of these can be a significant factor in some studies. If a female has any PMS symptoms, irregular periods, pain, cramping, sore breasts and other period symptoms, this indicates a hormone imbalance which should be assessed by a health practitioner (Nutritionist/Naturopath) as these symptoms can be cleared to reduce the risks of HPV and cervical cancer. If these risk factors are identified and minimised, the risks of contracting HPV and it causing cervical cancer can be greatly reduced. All without a dangerous vaccine. Independent investigation into Gardasil 9 In 2019, an independent team of Italian scientists from a group called Corvelva, started investigations into many common vaccines and their ingredients. They reviewed the Gardasil 9 vaccine ingredients from several batches, looking at the genetics of the RNA and DNA of the pathogens and other ingredients in the vaccine. They found the following (Corvelva, 2019): 1. The Gardasil 9 vaccine should contain antigens from 9 HPV viruses, but only 7 were actually found! 2. One of the missing HPV viruses (type 11) is commonly associated with cervical lesions, and another (type 58) is frequently associated with cervical cancer, hence no protection will be present for these 2 HPV strains. 3. There were 338 chemical contaminants detected which should not have been in the vaccine. 4. Various bacteria and yeasts from laboratory contamination were found in the Gardasil vaccine. In fact 54% of the DNA in this vaccine was from over 2 dozen other bacteria, parasite and yeast microbes which shouldn't be there! 5. Human and mouse DNA. This can increase the risk of autoimmune conditions by causing immune system dysfunction. 6. HPV virus DNA fragments - which are not intended parts of the vaccine per se. These are more contaminants which may be able to be integrated into your DNA and cause autoimmune reactions. 7. Molluscum contagiosum virus - a type of pox virus which causes skin blemishes and rashes, now quite common but not so much in the past. Now you know why there's more of it around... 8. Other retroviruses - which can become integrated into your DNA, can cause genetic mutations and cancers. This includes Human endogenous retrovirus K, L-BC virus, narnavirus, infectious equine anaemia virus, all which were found in this vaccine. 9. Mouse leukaemia virus - which causes a white blood cell cancer. Clinical Observations In my clinical practice, I have seen many female patients who have presented with very strange symptoms that no doctor was able to find the cause of, or diagnose, or be able to treat to reduce their symptoms. My detailed questioning in my initial consultations picked up on the onset of their symptoms, which was around the start of their teen years. On intuition initially and lately from experience, I asked what may have happened at that time, or whether they had the Gardasil vaccine. In many cases, they said the symptoms appeared shortly after this vaccine. Sure this is what is known as anecdotal evidence but the published evidence referenced here, and from many more studies since the Gardasil vaccine became available, confirms that these side effects and adverse reactions are from the vaccine and are very real. Because doctors don't try to trace the root causes of health conditions, they don't know that Gardasil has these reactions. This can lead to the patient suffering for years to a decade or longer before being diagnosed, if at all. A very common ongoing adverse reaction I have seen in practice is a combination of chronic digestive complaints together with heart symptoms. The heart symptoms often present as a racing heart (tachycardia) which the person may or may not feel, or slow pulse (bradycardia), or arrhythmias (irregular heart beat), or having all of these - a fast heart beat becoming slow then racing again in quick succession. Heart rate testing can show a very wide range of beats, often a difference of 20+ beats per minute from low to high and low again when rested. Orthostatic testing of heart activity, of testing blood pressure and pulse when laying down, and immediately on standing, can show a steady BP but an even higher pulse rate on standing, and an overall difference in pulse of 30-40+ beats per minute. In teens who have these symptoms, many cannot tolerate any exercise, and some athletic teens have had to give up on their sports because of a sudden reduced performance after their Gardasil vaccination. Other related symptoms from the heart dysfunction include frequent fainting and dizziness, headaches, weakness and fatigue, chest pain, shortness of breath, poor thinking or low memory and concentration (NHS, 2019). Together with the irregular heart function, the same patients also have chronic digestive complaints, of pains, cramps, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Ulcerative Colitis, hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid), chronic nausea, and other digestive complaints. The digestive system is affected together with the cardiovascular system, as both systems are controlled by nerves, or more particularly, branches of the autonomicnervous system. The dysfunction of these systems can suggest a diagnosis of Dysautonomia, or "dysfunctional autonomic nervous system". The particular dysautonomia diagnosis I have found as a direct result of the Gardasil vaccination is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome or POTS. In my investigations of many patients with Gardasil reactions, I have diagnosed POTS from their symptoms, history, and orthostatic testing of their blood pressure and heart rate. I have referred patients to their GP for a formal testing and diagnosis, only to be told that they don't know what POTS is or who to refer to. Luckily, POTS can be diagnosed, treated and reversed, but not with medical interventions. It can be treated with nutritional medicine, lifestyle improvements, and herbal medicines. I have also seen cases of cervical cancer being diagnosed in women who tested negative for HPV, but some had the Gardasil vaccine (which is known to cause cervical cancer). They also had hormone imbalances, and other factors like stress and nutrient deficiencies. Conclusions This document is a summary of many published studies into the Gardasil vaccine, information from the manufacturer, official government statistics, information from drug regulators, and from my own clinical experience with patients who have had many side affects, adverse reactions and chronic health conditions resulting from the Gardasil vaccine. The Gardasil vaccine was not thoroughly tested, and not tested to accepted scientific protocols before being approved for use. Testing did not include using an inert placebo in the control group, which enabled the manufacturer to claim very little difference in side effects between the vaccine and an active placebo. This is an unconscionable act which was done deliberately to hide side effects in order to gain a fast approval. It also shows a lack of thoroughness of the drug regulators to not see this deliberate ploy of deception, prior to the vaccine being approved. The Gardasil vaccine does not do what it claims to do - to reduce incidences of cervical cancer in women. In many countries, including in Australia, cervical cancer incidences have increased every year since Gardasil was introduced. And any protection from antibodies has only a short lasting effect of 4 years. After this time, there is no immunity to HPV. Gardasil has been shown in studies to actually cause cervical cancer. Gardasil simply does not work. Gardasil causes many side effects, long-term health effects, and causes many deaths. One of its key reasons for this is the use of an aluminium adjuvant, used to heighten the immune response to producing antibodies, and many recipients still do not develop antibodies to HPV. Aluminium in the body is a neurotoxin - it damages nerves of the autonomic nervous system, to cause a great many symptoms and health issues, such as heart conditions and digestive conditions. HPV alone is not the only cause of cervical cancer - an imbalance in male and female hormones and a dysfunctional immune system are also required factors for the development and progression of cervical cancer. Improve the immune system function and improve the hormone imbalance and cervical cancer can be prevented or reversed, without needing the dangerous Gardasil vaccine. All parents of teenage children must be given full informed consent of all the risks of the Gardasil vaccine, including the chronic health conditions and reactions it can cause, including death. I do not see this information being given to parents or teens. Where there is a risk with a vaccine, and there are many with Gardasil, parents and teens must be fully informed and also allowed the right to decline this medical procedure. Luckily there are other options available to reduce the risks of this infection and to also reduce the risks of cervical cancer. Schools around the country (and in other countries too) are the target for government-funded mass vaccination programs for the Gardasil vaccine. All Year 7s in Australia are rounded up and taken somewhere in the school for this shot. Often, letters or forms by concerned parents to not get this vaccine are ignored by teachers and the health department staff who simply assume that all children will get the vaccine. It is best to inform your children of the dangers to this vaccine, and keep them home on the allocated day, or to avoid it by hiding during the time it is being done. Stay healthy!

Place in a blender, with 1 1/2 cups water (use the steam water), and some mixed herbs. I add a splash of balsamic vinegar, a pinch of cloves, and extra oregano and basil. Blend up to a purée and use as spaghetti sauce or passata.

04.01.2022 Whilst making salad and coleslaw for this evening, I sliced a bit of cabbage to make a small ferment. I sliced the cabbage in ribbons, and put about 1/2 tablespoon of plain sea salt (nothing added) and set it aside while I made a Greek salad and the coleslaw. I reserved an outer leaf. Then I massaged the cabbage (I also added grated carrot and a little bit of capsicum) until liquid ran out. Then into a jar, making sure the cabbage was below the liquid. I did top it up with a little water. Then I placed the cabbage leaf on top, screwed the lid on and then backed it off a little and its now sitting on the kitchen bench for 5 or so days.

For the packaged items you do end up buying, be sure to read each and every label. Basically, if a product contains an ingredient that you dont have in your cupboard and wouldnt use in home cooking, then dont buy it. You may think, oh, its just small amounts, it couldnt hurt. If only that were true. We consume an average of 3 to 5 pounds of a variety of 3,000 food additives every year! When considering purchasing packaged food, ask yourself: Are there fewer than five ingredients? If its an animal product, was it raised or produced as close to its wild and natural state as possible? If you answer any of these questions with a No, choose something else. The choice is always yours to make See more

03.01.2022 Ive said this before and Ill say it again: you can eat the HEALTHIEST organic kale salad but if your mind is a mess and not in the right place your body will struggle to do what its supposed to do with the nutrients because your mind tells your brain and body what to do. Repost @mindbodygreen: According to communication pathologist + cognitive neuroscientist, @drcarolineleaf, "you're going to lose up to 80% of nutrition if you're in a bad mood." It happens at the cellu...lar level: For example, your pancreasthe organ in charge of producing digestive enzymessecretes around 20 different neuropeptides (or the key mediators between the neurons in our brain and GI functions in our body). So when brain-to-gut communication is compromised, your body may not absorb nutrients easily.
