Aussie supplement company Blackmores facing potential class action over allegedly ‘toxic’ levels of B6 in products

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/aussie-supplement-company-blackmores-facing-potential-class-action-over-allegedly-toxic-levels-of-b6-in-products/news-story/b9a96235f1402b67edc1a9bae81e1423

How on earth is this possible? 29 times over the legal limit and irreversible damage caused. One would imagine that a person would get regular blood tests done to keep an eye on their vitamin levels. At least once a year is the standard unless you have a health issue inchich you need to have your blood checked regularly. Long term use of vitamins is not normal unless you have an underlying medical condition either. My husband due to his medical condition can't make B12 for instance so he gets injections and that is under medical supervision and has regular blood tests.

‘People pay to be told lies’: the rise and fall of the world’s first ayahuasca multinational

 https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/jul/03/people-pay-to-be-told-lies-the-rise-and-fall-of-the-worlds-first-ayahuasca-multinational

Please read this article.

A fool and their money are easily parted and praying on the vulnerability of others is despicable. Notice the bit about OSHO, owning 93 Rolls Royces and rejecting asceticism to embracing materialism, hardly someone to aspire to live your life by. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajneesh Read this to the end and draw your own conclusions.

I keep my life very simple, I don’t go in for so called spiritual gurus, I am my own spiritual guide just like you are your own spiritual guide. You are giving away your personal spiritual sovereignty, money and freedom to these practitioners, life coaches, etc. The very thought of them puts me right off, I do not trust nor tolerate any of them, instead I look to myself and I do feel that is what we all need to be doing as individuals. To rely on others is lazy, potentially harmful and you may be manipulated by someone with an agenda that doesn’t align with your own personal values or spiritual values, while making them rich. 

Spirituality is a deeply personal and private matter and there is no set rules about what you deem to spirituality. It comes from a knowing deep down inside the individual, it’s not complicated and it cannot be taught or learned from others. You are tuning into your higher self and living the way that you the individual is meant to live, not from someone blowing smoke in your face telling you what to think, how to feel and how to live. We are all the embodiment of spirit in all of its manifestations. 

 All our answers are within us, we just need to tune in and listen. There isn’t any short cut either, you must put in the effort yourself by honestly examining your own heart and soul. You will know that you are on the right track in life if you feel happy and content, not by what someone tells you. They have a financial incentive to keep you dependent on them for advice and unable to think for yourself. Their teachings are unrealistic and unattainable, which has been well documented in news articles over the years, there is no substance to it. Then there are the like minded individuals that think, oh, I can do this too, and market the bullshit to make money off gullible people too. Do you think this is in any way spiritual? Hell no, this  is predatory capitalism 101, making easy money but devolving spiritually and morally. 

There is no way on earth that I would give these individuals the time of day, let alone my hard earned money. There is nothing spiritual about individuals that behave like this. Do you honestly believe that these people have the answers for you and are also capable of pulling off such un-spiritual behaviour? 

Here we are heading into the supposed golden age of Aquarius too, which is also another mind trick. Yes,  astrologically the sign of Aquarius and its ruling planet Uranus rules spirituality but not like the spin doctors of new age like you to believe. This is not a wonderful unicorns and rainbows world that we will be living in. If you think it is then you are sadly mistaken. 

Let me remind you about the 11th house , it does cover situations that you have absolutely no control over, it’s planetary ruler Uranus, apart from rep resenting the freedom urge Uranus also represents sudden and unexpected events which are often violent, it rules revolution and dictatorships, utopian , egotistical, and rules the occult (positive and negative aspects) in its negative aspects also.  Being in the third dimension we have polarities, and this is a dense and low vibration of death and war, a fact that will never change.

Mum’s ‘pimple’ led to terrifying ordeal

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/mums-pimple-led-to-terrifying-ordeal/news-story/6e0e98f5c5aa0c220b4c57c985d36ab9?utm_campaign=EditorialSB&utm_source=News.com.au&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_content=SocialBakers&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR6vqyGClXkY8r_nx3ouuE3ziB26WoUQH-Ha0OABD7_qJ66YW3Kypy-3vWWezg_aem_0PqsvoGNO-atBq26v0581w#

Skin cancer is not something to take lightly, Australia is the skin cancer capital of the world. The sun is much brighter and more intense in Australia than it is in the northern hemisphere and depending on the altitude where you live you are more exposed to the uv rays the higher the altitude and like the article says clouds make no difference. 

Not all cancers look like cancer as the article states, my husband’s melanoma looked like eczema at first but it got bigger and bigger and more aggressive looking, resulting in a deep surgery scar 9cms x 7cms, that has to be covered when outside. I intuitively knew that it was melanoma but both my husband and the doctor said it was a type of eczema. I made my husband go back and get it rechecked and see a specialist. This took two years to get this diagnosis as my husband kept letting it go,  he had a skin puncture biopsy that tested positive to stage 1 melanoma in situ. Surgery was booked in quickly up in Sydney because we couldn’t get into a surgeon in Canberra. 

Both my husband and I avoid the sun because we are both fair skinned and neither of us like the heat. We both grew up in Sydney in the 70’s and 80’s. Schools did not have the sun smart rules back in our day either. So it was walking in the full sun to and from school daily and no shelter from the sun in the school playgrounds back then. Not just that, my husband is like many people who drive with their arm on the windows of their cars while driving. All that sun exposure adds up over a lifetime. I had a little mole burned off my nose last year because I was worried it might be something nasty, then one burned off my right forearm a few months ago because it was itchy. I do cover up in the sun and wear a sun hat, sunglasses  and sunscreen, but that doesn’t guarantee that one won’t get skin cancer. 

Avoid being in the sun between 11.00 am to 4.00pm as much as possible because that is when the sun is at its most powerful. Wear sleeves like the cooling sleeves sold on eBay when your out in the full sun, there are some really cool looking ones out now. I bought a few different ones with patterns and some plain ones for being out walking. If ladies don’t want “hat hair” use an umbrella or parasol, they come in trendy patterns now too. 

The scars from surgery aren’t sexy and they are very sensitive to sunlight. You don’t generally just get melanoma once, it does come back and that’s why they do a mapping of your lymph nodes and put a little tattoo on your body where there was a lymph node of concern. Then the follow up examinations to make sure that there isn’t anything else growing. Don’t be fooled into thinking it only happens to older people, it happens at any age. 

Be safe and be informed, and don’t be fobbed off by a doctor that is instantly dismissive, as a google search will clearly show the numbers of people that have been misdiagnosed and had cancer after doctors have said they are too young or they are paranoid. Be responsible for your own health and wellbeing and be informed in serious health matters such as this, there is no second chance.

Fallout from Ned Kelly's last stand haunted families for generations

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-28/bushranger-ned-kelly-glenrowan-siege-145th-anniversary/105442598

Australian history may be short compared to other countries but it is full of heartache and hardship. Life in Australia was very hard up until the 1960’s for many people. The bush ranger era was a frightening time and not something to be glorified. I went to Glenrowan a few years ago where the Kelly gang met their fait. It’s a relatively small area where the last stand took place. Below is a link to my experience of my trip to Glenrowan and a couple of photos of the site of  Ann Jones’ pub.

Hepatitis A outbreak in several European countries

 https://www.9news.com.au/world/hepatitis-a-outbreak-in-several-european-countries/8aa9a75c-def5-4950-ba34-06f739f5f3b6

While the figures are low really this is pretty nasty, not the sort of thing that one comes in contact with generally, hepatitis is always around as it is in its various strains. If the governments could do an advertising campaign and hand out education leaflets in the streets through charities  and so on, to heighten awareness of Hep A symptoms and prevention in homelessness communities and travellers that has to be a good help in prevention.

Denmark to tackle deepfakes by giving people copyright to their own features

 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jun/27/deepfakes-denmark-copyright-law-artificial-intelligence

It should be an automatic thing for our right to “copyright “ over our own bodies, voices and faces. It should also be illegal to take a photo, film or  record anyone including their voices without the individual’s permission.

Pay attention now to the world in conflict there is no way out

What terrible news today with the US bombing Iran which now pushes us further into human suffering and even more death. If only our world leaders were spiritually awake, but sadly none of them are. The dread has been with me since I was a young mother, knowing that we will face this terrible suffering and here we are. Why even bring children into this world only to lose them to evil? Before I was married I used to pray that my husband would be medically unfit for war and my children also, I got that wish. This is a past life thing with me because I remember my past life in WW1, and in this lifetime growing up like everyone my generation that lived with the physical and psychological damage done by two world wars and other conflicts. 

Today sadly my psychic predictions have sadly come to fruition, as we have watched the building up of war in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine still not abating, These conflicts are going to join up eventually because there is no stopping things now. It’s a terrifying reality for everyone, my heart goes out to everyone that is living in a conflict zone anywhere in the world and for the innocent animals. 

I notice very few people actually read my predictions on this new blog and also the updates or predictions that come up. People need to be prepared and to have a chance to put provisions together asap. I just want ordinary folks to be safe and protected as well as possible. You are running out of time. 

https://psychictarotreadingwithalexfulford.blogspot.com/2023/10/psychic-predictions-for-world-in-2024.html.

 Down near the end of this particular yearly prediction written in October 2023 I stated that the terrible conflict, meaning war would begin between 2025 and 2027. This is a gradual process, a war just doesn’t happen on a Monday morning out of the blue. It’s a process where all the warnings were ignored and allowed to escalate for reasons known only to those with a vested interest in war. War makes big money.

It’s a business transaction and we ordinary citizens don’t mean a damn thing to the very rich and powerful people that cause wars. It is not our war, it’s a war created by pure evil people who have an insatiable hatred of humanity and a lust for power and absolute control over everything. Mineral wealth in particular is the big thing right now for technology, especially military and AI, and the top dogs fight to the death for it. That being our deaths, never theirs. 

Here is my April tarot card of the month, where I tell you that Israel and the US will attack Iran and will install a regime change.  I had a very strong feeling that the US would bomb Iran today Australia time and sure enough they did. We can only pray for the innocent people of the world and the beautiful animals. I don’t take sides in a war because it’s the ordinary people and animals that matter to me and we are not responsible for war ever. We must though act like civilised human beings with dignity and respect and not devolve into animal like savages towards complete strangers that we don't even know. They too have families no different to ours.

Peace and blessings to the world and all our beautiful children and innocent animals

Big warm hugs

Australian winters shouldn't feel this unbelievably cold

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-21/australia-winter-cold-insulation-freezing/105421176

Lol, try living in Canberra or down the Snowy Mountains, that’s cold 😂😂❄️☃️ I woke up to minus 7.8 this morning and still waiting for the dreaded minus 8 still to come. We used to have gas ducted heating in our house until the ACT government made it so expensive to use because of the BS climate change they also stopped people having combustible fires to heat their homes too. Electricity prices have skyrocketed too. So heating your house in Canberra is very expensive now, many people have switched to using solar panels for energy efficiency but at night time you don’t get free electricity and you need to warm your house o you will freeze. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. 

Off to spotlight everyone to buy thermal lined curtains and snakes for the doors. 😂ðŸĨķA good idea for open doorways is put a heavy curtain up to keep the heat in the room and stop the drafts coming down the hallway. Perhaps even a heavy curtain at the front door on the inside to close when you are home for the evening. Insulation tape around windows and door frames to prevent the cold from coming through also. 

I have noticed some people commenting online about using bubble wrap on windows in winter to use as insulation too. I guess you have to do what you have to do to leeward, but don’t neglect ventilation to prevent black mould from building up on your windows, because that will make you ill. 

The writer of this article is a twat because fossil fuels will never run out that is utter BS. It is impossible for this planet to run out of fossil fuels or water either for that matter and everything in the universe goes in cycles that can be scientifically proven as well astrologically proven. And it’s the Dutch that wear clogs not Scandinavians, sheesh.

Australia’s first lab-grown meat will be on menus within weeks

 https://www.theguardian.com/food/2025/jun/18/australia-approves-sale-of-lab-grown-fake-meat

Franken-food just what the world doesn’t need. Not something that I would want to eat nor do I think it’s a healthy option. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Inside Dargan Shelter, the Blue Mountains cave home to artefacts linked to the Ice Age

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-17/cave-reveals-secrets-about-human-life-in-australian-ice-age/104855272

This is an awesome discovery for Australia and hopefully we will learn much from this site. The region gets very cold in winter including snowfall. It would be very hard to survive in freezing winters back then. Summers are cooler than Sydney due to the altitude. The Blue Mountains are a beautiful place to visit and a must do for tourists, The Blue Mountains and Katoomba are buzzing with people all year round due to the beautiful scenery and tourist attractions. So if you come from overseas, please put this area on your itinerary.

BEST OF 2024: We're just not built for winter in Canberra

 https://region.com.au/were-just-not-built-for-winter-in-canberra/778945/

Australian houses are definitely not up to standards of European, British or US and Canadian standards. They are single brick buildings with poor or no insulation. But the buck stops with the government allowing cowboys to control the industry going way back to early 20th century. It’s not just Canberra that has poor building standards it’s national and always has been the case. 

Read the comments too because you will see that people that have lived outside of Australia are better informed on what is acceptable housing standards and what is abysmal housing standards. 

The world standard is a house must be at least 18 degrees centigrade inside to meet human standards. Australia fails the pub test on that. 

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/why-australian-homes-are-so-cold-and-what-you-can-do-about-it/mm2mecuff

The supposed ideal temperature for your home in winter in Canberra is 18 to 21 degrees. But bear in mind if your thermostat is 20 degrees upwards then you are chewing through the power and your bills will be high. Insulation, closing curtains and doors helps keep the heat in. Buy thermal lined curtains that keep the cold out in winter and the heat out in summer. People with ducted gas heating no longer use it because it’s so expensive thanks to the climate change propaganda and the cost of gas’s heating has skyrocketed in the past few years. That is a political driven policy there is no other reason for this apart from greed.

New bio-based hot glue made from industrial leftovers outperforms commercial adhesives

 https://phys.org/news/2025-06-bio-based-hot-industrial-leftovers.html

The age of Aquarius brings forth new technologies and inventions, this is the dawning on a modern Industrial Revolution. I wonder how long before this glue will be used in manufacturing and general use. It probably will have to go through some strict testing before being commercially available.

Scotland's travellers suffered 'cultural genocide', says report

 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp8de3ld05yo

Wow, I never knew about this and I lived in Scotland throughout this period. It was never spoken of anywhere that I knew of, I only ever encountered one traveler child at school and that was in 1968, she was there only a few days and left, I had  only just started school that year. 

What makes this situation even worse is taking children out of the country and never seeing their families again. Can you imagine what it must have been like for parents to have all their children taken away and never seeing them again? This is pure evil and the Scottish church involved in this abuse too. The psychological and emotional damage caused would be immense and no healing for the lives destroyed. The adoption records should reflect the numbers of children removed surely unless they were deliberately hidden to prevent any future tracing of the children and parents. 

This should never have been allowed to happen and a blatant violation of human rights and rights of children. This is unforgivable abuse and all those involved in this historic abuse must be held accountable. 

I hope the Scottish people get behind the travelling community and support them in this horrendous crime.  Ask yourself just what it means to be human and look into your hearts.

Meteorite hunters make 'amazing' discovery deep in WA outback

 https://www.9news.com.au/national/wa-shooting-star-mothers-day-meteor-tracked-down-seven-hours-east-of-perth/a7f92acc-43b0-4d19-b7d1-8fc853eb91a9

Thankfully most meteor debris from space that lands in Australia lands in the outback, and not in suburban areas where the damage could be horrendous. Space debris and meteors can land anywhere such as the Canadian tundra, the Pacific Ocean, Australia, Antarctica and deserts.

UK's oldest polar bear euthanised as health fails

 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr588d843e7o

How sad, poor bear, I hope she had a good life, she was safer in the zoo than in the wild really and survived longer than she would in the wild, not to mention safe from hunters. What a magnificent animal and very cute too. It's sad that animals face so much danger in our world, they deserve so much better. Thank goodness for the amazing people that look after the animals in our world looking after their health, wellbeing and safety.
