What if millions of medical diagnoses, procedures, and treatments were based on, at best, questionable scientific evidence, but still performed daily, the world over, in the name of saving patients lives or reducing their suffering? A new JAMA review indicates this may be exactly what is happening. A disturbing new review published in JAMA online about overuse of […]

Avocado Shampoo? Really?
We eat a lot of avocados, surrounded as we are by orchards. We LOVE them and we love the fact that they are a good saturated fat, even though we still question how some people think they are alkaline. But we always wonder what to do with the seeds. If they go into the compost […]
Snowflakes and Dr Masaru Emoto’s images.
Some years ago we paid Dr Masaru Emoto $5000 to create a water crystal pic from our AlkaWay water ionizer’s water. He did it and it sold us perhaps thousands of ionizers. But when I finally met him and discussed his methodology… er… well… Apparently he would take a water sample and create 100 samples, […]
Cauliflower reborn: A great anti inflammation recipe!
An all-natural cauliflower cutlet recipe that can stop inflammation. Usually a “cutlet” refers to a piece of meat. In this recipe, cauliflower is the hero – this meaty vegetable is part of the cruciferous family, but unlike its green cousins (broccoli, cabbage, kale) the humble cauliflower lacks chlorophyll. But what it lacks in green, it makes […]
A new scientific study of oral H2
A new scientific study of oral H2 shows that it may be a good way to alleviate opioid-induced pain and also a little-known pain caused by light touch, called mechanical allodynia. It is just one more of the more than 500 studies (and growing fast) on the effects of molecular hydrogen as a therapy. Here’s […]
Testing the UltraStream for Molecular hydrogen levels
We now have our own H2 test meter, imported from Japan. So we took the opportunity of doing the test plus talking about why ORP is not an antioxidant.
Happy Sugar Free Gluten Free Christmas (as if!)
These are strange times. Cassie is busy trying to find a recipe for a gluten free dairy free sugar free Birthday cake because I am 69 tomorrow. I told her not to bother. And at this time of year I try to find a climate and country sensitive image to represent Christmas. Now THAT is […]
Terrific turmeric smoothie recipes to spice up your health
We’ve been looking at (and using) turmeric consistently for years. The yellow stains on our kitchen bench cannot lie! I have loved it ever since my year in India back in the 90’s. But we recently learned the reason behind turmeric’s newfound popularity. The results it gives are because it produces molecular hydrogen in the […]

A Simple Guide to Saturated Fats
With regard to health, saturated fat is most looked at for its perceived influence on heart disease through interacting with cholesterol and plasma triglycerides. Several meta-analysis have been carried out on saturated fat and the perceived risk of heart health. In these meta-analyses, there’s scant evidence that saturated fat increases risk for Cardiovascular Diseases. However, […]
Tax ’em till their sweet tooth falls out. Will it work?
The UK Commons Health Committee have suggested this week that they would support a tax on sugary drinks as there is now “compelling evidence” this, along with crackdowns on marketing and advertising, would reduce consumption. The government has said that the tax is part of a range of “bold and urgent” measures to tackle childhood obesity. […]
Arsenic
Arsenic has a complex and dangerous history. It has many forms, and it can even transform from one to another just as a chameleon changes its colours. At the atomic level, arsenic easily exchanges ions, making it capable of existing in many different chemical forms. It can combine readily with many other elements. Its shape […]
