Well, you outlasted me. Congratulations’: Former SA attorney-general shares his Parkinson’s battle

 https://www.indailysa.com.au/news/just-in/2026/02/16/well-you-outlasted-me-congratulations-former-sa-attorney-generals-shares-his-parkinsons-battle

Interesting news article after reading the previous post. Getting old is not for cissies that’s for sure, and illness can happen to anyone. My father in law had this disease but I don’t know how long he had it for or if he was on medication. It wasn’t something he spoke about, and I just hope that my husband is not going to have this one day. It’s only a small percentage of people that inherit from a family member. But the risk is double if you have a parent or sibling with Parkinson’s. 

I do feel that our health is much better with exercise and a healthy diet without processed foods, but for many that can be quite difficult to do, due to the high cost of living nowadays.

Escape from Fukushima: Pig-boar hybrids reveal a genetic fast track in the wake of nuclear disaster

 https://phys.org/news/2026-02-fukushima-pig-boar-hybrids-reveal.html

What a horrible disaster this was, and, there is a lot that we still don’t know or understand about the affects of radiation on our bodies or animals bodies for that matter. It’s interesting that a rapid reproduction cycle started, obviously to ensure the survival of the species and create a new hybrid species.  Comparing this to Chernobyl though, Chernobyl is the world’s worst radiation contamination and children were the worst affected especially under 15 years old. A seven fold increase of DNA mutations in the children of liquidators in the area. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_the_Chernobyl_disaster#:~:text=One%20study%20identified%20a%20sevenfold,in%20the%20frequencies%20of%20germline

The effects of radiation of the Chernobyl disaster. We still have to find out what happened to the people exposed to radiation from Zaporizhzhia. This is not from weapons just regular nuclear power stations, but just imagine the horror of nukes being used in warfare the nightmare would be off the scale. 

Nuclear weapons should never be allowed, because of the enormous damage done that will last a very long time. It is one of the most evil inventions ever created. To allow such a weapon to exist whether it’s depleted uranium tipped bullets or rounds/shells to a full on nuclear bomb, is totally unacceptable for all of humanity. When you see the damage that can happen from just using nuclear energy for medical purposes or to generate electricity. Poorly maintained nuclear facilities are a perfect example of the dangers of nuclear energy. Then the decommissioned nuclear reactors if they are not sufficiently secured to prevent a leak in the years ahead. How do the world experts propose to solve the dilemma of nations that cut corners in keeping nuclear facilities safe from leaks and cracks due to poor construction of these plants? 

Dementia cases surge in Australia prompting urgent calls for action

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/wellbeing/dementia-cases-surge-in-australia-prompting-urgent-calls-for-action/news-story/75bd23adb01e82bd3bd7f95607c95ad0

Are some doctors really thick or just arrogant pigs? Childhood dementia exists as well as early adult dementia, so why are some doctors so ignorant of early adult dementia in the 30's and 40's age group or even 50's. It shows a lack of knowledge on the disease on their part. Do they even bother keeping up with medical research and discoveries? 

Hazel Hawke, wife of the late Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke, was diagnosed with this terrible disease early too, and that was well publicised in the media although she was in her early 60’s. This seems to me like the usual misogyny and arrogance in the way women are treated by doctors, speaking from personal experience. 

Doctors need to be reminded that age is irrelevant when it comes to dementia, never assume anything because that is how serious mistakes happen. It’s more prudent to check out the patient thoroughly than end up being sued. 

Recently in the news menopause has been linked to dementia too, I myself have been seeing a gerontologist for memory loss and loss of speech. That was put down to stress, but I didn’t feel that was correct. I feel the tests are not good enough and need to be updated. 

 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9qpp1g5ylvo Menopause link to dementia 

Fibromyalgia has an effect on the memory too, and I have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years. So I have been very mindful, no pun intended of the fact that dementia is on the rise and most people my age will have this terrible disease. The modern diet must play a part in this disease too, so we must rethink what we eat and stop eating processed foods. Perhaps a closer look at for ever chemicals and plastics in our bodies and the effects on the brain too. 

The 8th, 9th and 10th Chakras

 The past few days when I have been tuning in to my chakras I have noticed the three chakras above my head are different. Suddenly I see little boats or crescent shaped chakras with my mini me sitting inside the chakras. The other thing is these are black, now that’s not a bad thing. This is not a blockage, as I have done a google search on this and it is a very interesting thing taking place. 

This is moving up into a higher energy state, usually these chakras are white, silver-white or golden and shimmering. The black is a shielding or protection for me, think of it as feminine energy like ying and yang energy. It also can mean clearing any past traumas and ready to move up to a deeper spiritual level with your higher self. This is also about opening the door to a transformation. Which is what I am striving towards. 

The 8,9 and 10th chakras sit above the head a few inches apart according to some online sources, yet others say a few feet apart. What is the actual truth here? I am damned if I know! 

I just focus on what I can see through my third eye as I am tuning in, but anyhow, it’s new to me to be actually able to see them now, but also seeing they are a crescent shape and black with my mini me inside the crescent. I need to point out that one of the tuning in techniques involves visualising a miniature version of yourself sitting inside the chakras as you are grounding. Hence my little mini me in the crescent or boat shaped chakras. 

The colour black is not in any way negative like an energy blockage. No it’s a form of shielding and it is related to the higher spiritual realms and stronger psychic abilities. Now I have not done spiritual healing for years due to my car accident 11 years ago. But of late I have been feeling a strong urge to get my healing abilities back again. I am not sure why and what is the intention behind this though. I just have a strong feeling to do this. 

The 8th chakra is also known as the soul star which is supposed to be between 6 inches to 2 feet above your head. Some say it is the seat of your soul. 

The 9th chakra sits above that and is called the stellar gateway where we have access to our akashic records and the divine.

The 10th chakra sits above that called the solar star which connects to universal consciousness. 

The other thing that I noticed in reading several articles online is there is a huge discrepancy on where the 8th and 9th and 10th chakras are placed. This tells me some people are either not being honest or they don’t have a clue.

 Which reminds me of a book that I bought at a psychic fair many years ago. This book was about the 8th chakra, and where it is in the body, what its purpose is and how to activate it. The book stated it was between the shoulder blades in our back. Well that’s not what I can see in my experience and not what others say online. 

It sounds like someone out to rake in the big bucks more than anything to be honest, and I am not the sort of person that takes kindly to liars. I feel that I was ripped off buying the book, as they say buyer beware. 

If you google the chakras mentioned you will see different people placing them all over the place. How the heck does that work? How are you meant to take any of the people seriously if they can’t even agree on where the bloody chakras are located? 

It destroys the good name of genuine healers and sows confusion in not just the public’s mind but also people that are wanting to learn healing and understanding all they need to know about the human chakra system. That’s like going to med school and the anatomy class is being taught the wrong positions of the organs. Where’s Wally or Waldo with the chakras comes to mind.

Menopause linked to Alzheimer's-like brain changes

 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9qpp1g5ylvo

Ladies please read this because many doctors are unaware of this and stress can make things worse. A healthy diet and limiting junk food, smoking and alcohol consumption may be beneficial as well as getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals in your diet daily. Genetics does also play a part in the risk of Alzheimer’s. Hopefully there will be medical breakthroughs in the next 10 years. This is one of the most terrifying things that can happen to a person, and the heartache for families watching their loved ones suffer.

ASTROLOGY: When is it safe to have surgery?

 https://hekint.org/2020/02/05/blood-under-the-moon-the-role-of-astrology-in-surgery/

https://www.radhikeshdas.com/articles/the-astrology-of-surgery

Please read the links above for information, this is very informative reading and worth keeping in mind. Medical astrology is a highly valuable skill to have and something that I take very seriously. You will see a bibliography at the bottom of the article  in the first link for further information.   

Key things to remember, if possible are, avoid surgery when there is a solar or lunar eclipse, Mars, Moon, Mercury are retrograde, the 1st house ruled by Mars and Aries, which is the first house of life and the 6th house ruled by Venus and Virgo, which rules health. 

This practice was used for thousands of years and only in relatively modern times, (18th Century) was it stopped. Hippocrates (the father of modern medicine) was famous for warning of the real dangers of death and massive blood loss in surgery due to the  planetary arrangements at certain times of the month. His famous for saying, "touch  not with iron that part of the body ruled by sign the moon is transiting".

There is also verifiable evidence to support why surgery should be postponed a few days depending on what sort of surgery is being performed and the correlation to the Moon, Mars, the Sun and other astrological influences that are detrimental to the body. Each body part and organ is ruled by a specific planet. Then one needs to know which planets are in retrograde and how that affects you individually 

It is worth asking a qualified astrologer what days are good for the type of surgery that you need so that you can plan for the surgery. Please bear in mind that a person can die even if the surgery is 100% successful. Any surgeon will automatically advise their patient of the risk during the initial consultation. Thankfully most surgeries are highly successful, so do not be afraid of  having surgery. 

The cause of death after successful surgery is down to the astrological influence, not any surgical error and  that is something that modern doctors cannot explain. Unless they have a belief in astrology, such as Vedic astrology which is a very good and reliable Indian astrological practice.

One needs to know what planet rules the part of the body that requires surgery when one is about to undergo invasive surgery, it also helps if you know your actual time of birth; although a rough chart can be made by using the date of birth and place of birth, and it also comes down to the astrologers skill and experience in formulating a chart for surgery.  

 My husband was very fortunate that I was aware of these things two years ago when he had life saving surgery. Thankfully Mercury had passed retrograde and there was no full moon either. 

https://indianastrologer.co.in/articles/which-is-the-best-day-for-surgery-in-astrology/

This is the best days of the week for surgery, it's Vedic astrology but there is a western equivalent to Vedic and Sidereal astrology. All are accurate and equally good it's basically down to preference. I prefer western as the words are easier to pronounce.   

I hope you find this interesting and perhaps you may even consider learning astrology, even if it's only for personal use. Did you know that the actress Pauline Moran from the TV show Poirot is an astrologer? I am an even bigger fan of hers knowing this. 

Plane and car crash testing is still designed to keep men safe. That puts women in danger

 https://theconversation.com/plane-and-car-crash-testing-is-still-designed-to-keep-men-safe-that-puts-women-in-danger-268990

Why has it taken so long for someone to think of this? Women and children are smaller and lighter than men, we are thrown around more in a crash, and I am speaking as a person seriously injured in car crashes as a passenger in a few car accidents from childhood to adulthood. 

The impact injuries can be serious lifelong and life altering injuries, which affect many aspects of life for the rest of our lives. Women of child bearing age with serious injuries have the added problem of having children and living with injuries that affect them in raising their children, such as not being able to pick up the child to hold them because of  back, neck, hip, shoulder and even elbow and wrist injuries causing severe pain and discomfort. The lighter body weight causes more whiplash injuries and impact injuries to the neck and spine. Then there is damage to the body’s nervous system and some injuries can worsen as we age too. 

Alex has Eyesight problems

 I am staying off my blog for a little bit because I have problems with my eyes and really bad sinus problems. I am not able to tolerate the computer screen very well as it has been  affecting my eyes  for a while now. On going health issues just seems to be my burden as I get older, so I need to rest my eyes and old body, lol. 

My problem is I am a very chatty Libra and I love to communicate with people. Oh, well it is what it is peeps. Have a wonderful weekend everyone, wherever you are.

Efforts to remove fluoride from drinking water make steady progress amid mainstream headwinds

 https://voz.us/en/politics/251113/30925/efforts-to-remove-fluoride-from-drinking-water-make-steady-progress-amid-mainstream-headwinds.html

Natural fluoride is in the earth, yes, and is different to the manufactured fluoride.  But how much is too much especially over the span of one's life? Fluoride is banned in European water but used in toothpastes and in other dental products,  but is not permitted in public water because that is classed as mass medication. 

Some dentists have stopped using fluoride due to safety concerns and damage to teeth such as dental fluorosis of teeth and damage to bones.  

Research is always controlled by those with a vested interest is selling their product or agenda, there are no repercussions for the lies told to force this or other things on the population or the damage caused to health and or the reputation of innocent people who have spoken out against overuse of this toxin. 

Keep in mind though; all of the dangerous forever chemicals, medications, hormone medications and plastics in our water and foods, that do significant harm to all life on the planet, that includes the wildlife too. It's a curly one, no doubt about it. So what is the answer, do we reduce the dose, remove from water or come up with a better solution? 

Check out this public library of medicine article, on the pro's and con's of fluoride it has a highlighted part to draw your attention to the relevant information. It may be worth printing this off and also a thumb drive to store the document on too. Just in case you wish to share this information with others. I think the dosage may be what is needed to be looked at, how much is deemed acceptable and safe over one's life? Or is it safe to use at all? 

Fluoride is touted as treatment for osteoporosis, yet fractures still happen?? What the hell; are they thinking, dietary improvements are needed to prevent osteoporosis. 

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6195894/#:~:text=Excessive%20fluoride%20intake%20may%20cause%20dental%20fluorosis.&text=Studies%20on%20animals%20and%20humans,when%20small%20doses%20are%20administered.

The mention of iodine in salt in this article needs to mention adults don't need iodine in the thyroid because they thyroid can no longer hold iodine. Also fluoride is connected to thyroid disorders.

Check out the section on increased opposition to fluoride, this is worth noting. 

Skeletal fluorosis, bony outgrowths of Osteophytes and Exostoses, calcification of ligaments and cartilage.  Radiological dense bones but brittle bones. Studies on humans and animals show neurotoxicity and kidney toxicity. Damned if we do and damned of we don't, but better oral hygiene is the important factor as well as better nutrition and education on nutrition.

Rocket Fuel sinus drops

 https://savvytouch.com/products/rocket-fuel-1?srsltid=AfmBOooLx5qmoxph1Zg5PgKIz0IXRrbHNTF4jIEiWVPfnk3PCyhJCd_v

Omg, this stuff is powerful, no wonder it has this name. I bought this after seeing it advertised on facebook. It’s bloody good stuff, but geez it’s not for the faint hearted. This blows your socks off with the peppermint. 

It sure clears the sinuses and then some. If I was a cruel person, I would say it is something to give someone as a prank, playing; is there a god. 🤣🤣🤣 The full bore intensity of the peppermint is incredible it made me think of the parody song The Devil went down to Jamaica. 

I am currently on antibiotics again for yet another sinus infection; and apart from using a saline nasal spray, I psyched myself up to use my Rocket Fuel drops again. Call me chicken, but I only use the drops occasionally because they are so intense, and I quickly take something to calm down the mint overload, and I actually love peppermint. Give this a go by all means, but if you find the peppermint too strong maybe try something else, or have something on standby to calm that powerful mint kick. 

Credit to the person that posted this on YouTube.   Very funny song, although I don’t endorse using drugs. I am very strictly spiritual. I just have a warped sense of humour that can make you cringe or spit your drink out. 

7 Foods that Can Fight Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease

 https://www.wellmedhealthcare.com/7-foods-that-can-fight-dementia-and-alzheimers-disease/#:~:text=Examples%20of%20foods%20to%20avoid,with%20healthier%20alternatives%20when%20possible.

If only people would go back to a pre world war 2 diet without all the processed foods and junk food from take away outlets. Treats now and then in moderation is just that a treat. But we are so conditioned to eating all sorts of things by high pressure advertising. 

Sadly too, many people are time poor and just want to get meal time done quickly, especially with a family and working full time. Then the pressure of getting children to do homework every night. There is way too much pressure on families just to survive since the 1970’s and here we are in current times with that pressure at breaking point, with additional pressure of the cost of living crisis and the housing shortage. 

There has to be a better way to live and stop being so depleted of quality time, with affordable quality food and the time needed to prepare healthy meals. Without the affordable healthy foods available to everyone, of course we will become ill, and that includes the brain being impaired.

Donna Lee on the reality of living with young onset dementia

My heart goes out to this poor lady and everyone that suffers from dementia, it’s a horrible and cruel disease. This article also shows how ignorant some people are, there are even children and teenagers with dementia. Hazel Hawke was diagnosed early with Alzheimer’s too which was well publicised, she wanted people to be aware of that at the time she was diagnosed to help educate people about the condition. 

Women also have cognitive issues due to menopause which can start early and stress can exacerbate our cognitive abilities. 

Not just ‘growing pains’: 1 in 5 Australian kids live with chronic pain, but it’s often invisible

 https://theconversation.com/not-just-growing-pains-1-in-5-australian-kids-live-with-chronic-pain-but-its-often-invisible-265680

There are many health issues that children face such as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), scoliosis, circulatory problems, migraines and for girls there is endometriosis to name a few. I suffered from painful legs from the age of 11 and would walk to school in tears for two year, and this was a long walk every day from a top floor flat and walking up hills to get to my school a suburb away. My mother dismissed it as growing pains and I was never taken to a doctor. I have always had painful legs and circulation problems not to mention Reynaud’s syndrome, as I got to my 30’s, which is agonising in my feet and hands. I assume my parents didn’t know about magnesium deficiency or B12 back in the early 1970’s and it may have helped me. By my teenage years the circulation in my legs got worse and I would lose  all feeling in my legs sitting on the floor at school assemblies. My parents didn’t take me to a doctor to find out why, they were just not interested. My circulation is much worse nowadays in my arms and legs, which causes me to lose a lot of sleep every night.

Parents need to be more aware and listen to their children, but not to encourage hypochondria. Children should have proper medical checkups like adults do, because children do get cancer, tumours and many different health conditions. Girls do have a higher pain tolerance than boys but that doesn’t mean there isn’t something wrong. Do not let a doctor fob you off and be respectful when asking to be sent to a specialist or a paediatrician. 

Hormonal changes are notorious for playing havoc with adolescents too from severe acne, which can become infected, to girl’s reproductive system problems, this includes fibrocystic breast disease. Doctors tend to be very dismissive of this and I speak from experience of over 43 years of chronic breast pain. I lost confidence in doctors in the first two years and I found male doctors were the worst and very ill informed of such matters. I ended up going through alternative therapy but even that was not successful. When it comes to girls and hormones, please don’t rule anything out because it can last a lifetime with misery and pain. 

MOULD: Hidden threat that made homeowner sick

 https://www.realestate.com.au/news/hidden-threat-that-made-homeowner-sick/?campaignType=external&campaignChannel=syndication&campaignName=ncacont&campaignContent=&campaignSource=newscomau&campaignPlacement=realestatemodule

This is a serious health hazard, please read the article and others on my blog about mould and fungus in your home. Don’t take any risks especially if you’re asthmatic, I only have mild asthma but I get so worried through winter and any rainy weather about moulds and fungus as I know how hard it is to eradicate as well as the health risks associated with moulds. 

Myth or Reality—Transdermal Magnesium?

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5579607/

There is a lot of social media posts at present about taking Magnesium, so I thought I’d share this information with everyone. Please take the time to read this 2017 official medical advice on magnesium, it may be very beneficial for you to read this and prevent any serious health problems. 

This shows the signs and symptoms of a deficiency and the health related problems it may cause. This is especially important for pregnant women. Always consult your doctor before you take any medication, and blood tests are a good idea. 

One thing to note is the Google AI thingy says using Magnesium transdermal is ok. I actually use a transdermal magnesium chloride cream with lavender and chamomile for my legs at night. I do get cramp and aching legs regularly. I used to take magnesium tablets but switched over to the cream. I prefer the cream to oils because the oil spray leaves a gritty texture on the skin. Mind you my dog just loves it, she uses me as a salt lick, lol. 

The Nile Book shop: The Encyclopaedia of Bach Flower Therapy

 https://www.thenile.com.au/books/mechthild-scheffer/the-encyclopedia-of-bach-flower-therapy/9780892819416

I thought I would share this lovely book with people that are interested in alternative medicine. I just purchased this book about a week ago, after a dream that I had. I have used Bach flower remedies over the years as well as the Australian Bush flower essences and essential oils. 

I always have the Bach flower rescue remedy in my handbag too, because you never know when you might need it. My dream though, was a direct message from spirit telling me to get Sweet Chestnut Bach flower for myself. When I woke up, I went straight to my Bach’s 12 healers book; that a friend gave me many years ago and looked it up. It hit the nail on the head so to speak. I went through the book to see what other remedies might help me too, and placed an order online for these remedies 

These flower remedies are taken four times per day for a few weeks to clear any emotional issues. The maximum combination of  remedies is six to seven at any one time. I highly recommend this book if you are genuinely interested in healing yourself and learning how to use these amazing Bach flower remedies. 

Originally there were only twelve of these, but there are now thirty eight of them. This book is a complete guide in learning how each flower works and how to administer these remedies. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bach

This is the doctor Edward Bach that invented these homeopathic remedies, he actually gave up his medical practice to research and study these flower remedies. Everything on this earth carries its own energy signature not just humans and animals, hence when our energy is out of kilter we turn to nature to rebalance our energy. 

To buy these Bach flower remedies, you can find them in health food shops, some chemists and online. 

I managed to get mine online at the Natural Chemist, if you scroll down to the bottom of the website, you will see they are members of the Australian Pharmacy Guild, so this is a highly reputable company.
