Truck driver with motor neurone disease sets off on 800km lawnmower ride to Canberra

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-11/lawnmower-ride-to-canberra-with-motor-neurone-disease-petition/103563362

Such a horrible and cruel disease, yet the government drags the chain on research. 

Warren is a very courageous man with determination to see this through, I hope that he succeeds and most importantly that the weather cools down for him on his journey to Canberra. This is a very long road trip through Victoria into New South Wales and into The Australian Capital Territory. Taking between 6 hours to 7 hours 17 minutes depending on what route you take, but he is using a ride on lawnmower so it will take a lot longer due to the fact these vehicles don’t move very fast. 

He will make sure he stays hydrated and has rests along the way. I really hope that the politicians greet him on arrival and see his mission comes to fruition. This is an unselfish effort on Warrens part and knowing that death will be his only release from his suffering. My heart goes out to Warren, his family and all those unfortunate people that suffer from this terrible illness.

Aussie woman reveals endometriosis nightmare that nearly took her life

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/aussie-woman-reveals-endometriosis-nightmare-that-nearly-took-her-life/news-story/995b73d567edd3fa5c8e363e0a496afe

Here we go again, ignorant misogynistic pricks of doctors. I just wonder how they treat their wives if this is how arrogant they are with female patients. Excruciating pain like this must be horrendous and on top of that dealing with insensitive arrogance as well. My heart goes out to these women, and I thank my lucky stars that I have never had this terrible misfortune. It is patently obvious to most women that we really don't have much body autonomy and never have. 

Why do we have to justify wanting a hysterectomy? We aren't doing it for shits and giggles for heaven's sake. It is about being able to live pain free and also not to be forced into breeding against our free will. Most men are sympathetic to the suffering of their wives, mothers, sisters and women in general. So why is it that the medical industry is still in the dark ages? These are allegedly very well educated men after all. 

With all the lip service in the media and promising to do better yet nothing changes. Don’t mistake me for being a misandrist, I am definitely not, I just don’t tolerate arrogant pricks. I am blunt because I have had to deal with the same shit myself, and at times have taken my husband into the doctors surgery with me. Women seem to be needing a 'handler' when they go to see some male doctors about serious health issues; to get someone to vouch for their claims to be in pain, when clearly aware that something is wrong in their bodies. Since when did this seem acceptable? 

 Up until the 1970's in western nations a married woman could not even go on the pill unless her husband gave a doctor permission to give her the prescription. Single women were not permitted to have this contraception. That is something people my age and younger have never had the indignity of experiencing. 


On a similar vein, I have suffered constant breast pain from  fibrous, polycystic breasts most of my adult life and do you think one of these male doctors would listen to me, no bloody chance. One idiot told me that I needed to have a baby, I kid you not. I was 23 years old suffering daily pain and discomfort for three years at this point. This doctor said this was my body telling me it’s time to have a baby. Sure it is, just chain me to the kitchen sink too mate.

 I had a full time job, single and I was not interested in having a family yet. Not to mention the males in  street or in the workplace commenting on my boobs all the time, despite the sexual harassment laws in place. Can you blame me for being blunt with pricks? 

My breasts were engorged looking and the heavy weight of them along with the pain was part of my everyday life. Not one bloody doctor could explain why this was happening let alone fix the problem. Just take vitamin b6 and b12 supplements and you’ll be right. I did as they asked and it made absolutely no difference whatsoever. I returned to the doctor and it was a shrug of the shoulders and that was it, doctor after doctor. 

One sympathetic female doctor told me to take Evening Primrose oil capsules along with the vitamin b6 and b12. This did nothing to stop the pain, but my breasts went up from a C to an D and then DD and then E size, which is a side effect of taking Evening Primrose oil long term. This, I only found out after going to see a naturopath for help. I took this EPO  for about a year or two straight before I was informed about the side effects because I didn’t know about the side effects, until I met this naturopath. 

 Now I was 5 foot one and a size 10 UK/AUS clothes size, so I was not overweight. Eventually I had to have breast reduction surgery at my own expense after having two babies, aged 29. The problem still remained for years only to start to improve in my 40’s. I still had pain and discomfort but not as severe as it was when I was in my 20’s and 30’s. I had ultrasounds and mammograms throughout this time also, and I can tell you mammograms should not be used in this context because the pain was unbearable and the risk of ruptured cysts is high. An MRI is more appropriate for breast screening especially thick dense fibrous polycystic breasts like mine. 

The results of these scans could only inform the doctor that I had multiple cysts but other than that I was left to my own devices. Year after year of nothing but shrugging their shoulders. At  no time was I given the opportunity to see a specialist in regards to my condition either. I was just left hanging with no answers.

The only time that I had any pain relief was during pregnancy, but by the time the babies were born the pain was back and intensified. It is pretty obvious to most women who have health issues like endometriosis, hormonal disorders' and polycystic breast disorders that doctors don’t have any understanding about or know how to treat the conditions. Nor do they have any sympathy judging from the reactions of male doctors to this very day. I put this down to the way that they are trained and the male dominated culture within the medical profession.

Fines for breaking Covid rules could be cancelled after major NSW Supreme Court decision

 https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/courts-law/call-to-scrap-29000-covid-fines-after-major-nsw-supreme-court-decision/news-story/cc5b3fd80858e4dddddc8f564e8268af

Astounding, the government has made screw up after screw up with the entire pandemic affecting thousands of people. If you are going to implement fines, get your facts and laws correct first. This shows absolute incompetence at the highest levels of government from the get go. The commissioner is not above the law either, he must obey the laws that he is supposed to abide by failing to do so shows disregard for the rules and the loss of public trust. 

This is also highlighting the amount of people who clearly don’t care about spreading infectious diseases.Two wrongs clearly don’t make a right and here we are in 2024 and we can’t eradicate the virus because of ignorant selfish people. Not just that, people have gone back to their same old filthy poor hygiene practices. Nothing was learned by this whole pandemic because people are just too selfish and ignorant.

It may have been wrong to have a global lockdown, but Australia had it all under control until morons started bitching and whining about discrimination, and the moronic government gave in. We all know what happened after that. Then BoJo in the UK with his stupid “let it rip” mentality, which caused it to snowball yet again.  BoJo,  more like Bozo the clown, didn’t even obey the rules himself like many other politicians globally whose photographs are on line and date stamped showing them at political gatherings with other world leaders and not social distancing or wearing masks. Two things are clear here, the virus is not deadly to most people, and the economy has been damaged by idiots hell bent on destroying the economy globally to force us into a dangerous digital economy. 

Regardless of the pandemic’s origin, it’s the lack of proper government regulation and legal enforcement that is to be questioned. Who’s to be blamed and held accountable for the mismanagement and incompetence? There has to be some proper accountability written into law to prevent screw ups like this in future. 

Also if it was really unnecessary to have lockdowns in the first place then what about the damage to the public’s mental health and especially the vulnerable people in society? What about those that took their own lives because of this, and the people who died (often alone and isolated) that were denied a proper funeral and for loved ones to say goodbye to their loved ones. That has a terrible legacy psychologically and this must never be forgotten or forgiven. I will never forget that 8 year old little boy in Italy who died and his parents were denied the right to say goodbye to him and hold a proper funeral for him. 

These politicians must be held publicly and personally accountable for their actions. The same with NGO’s that act like little gods, pushing governments into doing their bidding. These so called non government officials that are unelected should have no say in these situations. They are private citizens working for a corporation or organisation and they have made grave errors. 

This is the world that our grandchildren have inherited because of selfish interests and stupid people not questioning authority enough and demanding accountability. There must always be accountability and responsibility for actions taken.

‘It never stops': New drug approved to treat endometriosis after decade of pain

 https://www.9news.com.au/national/it-never-stops-new-drug-approved-to-treat-endometriosis-after-decade-of-pain/b51f0e92-6dd8-4812-800a-eadac0d55218

Gosh let’s hope the government gets this drug on the PBS asap. I just hope they find out the cause of this in my lifetime, because there are so many other medical breakthroughs and the pain that these poor women suffer from is horrible. Not just that, all the visits to doctors and to be believed takes its toll on these women.

‘Self-mutilation’: Horrifying fate of Elon Musk’s brain implant monkey test subjects

 https://www.news.com.au/technology/gadgets/selfmutilation-horrifying-fate-of-elon-musks-brain-implant-monkey-test-subjects/news-story/e19257b41694c0f86a62bfe5fde8885d

This is pure evil, vile and inhumane. Isn’t anyone going to stop this horrific abuse? Man up humanity and put an end to this evil. There is no need for such horrible things done in the name of science, this is ego driven by someone with a god complex. 

This supposedly to assist humanity, yeah right. Once this is implemented you are no longer human by definition, you are a cyborg. What kind of person is willing to do this to an animal and not have a problem with it? They go home to their families and carry on as if it’s just a day at the office. 

No decent human being is capable of doing this scientific work, and the government obviously doesn’t have a problem with this. Yet where are the protests and where is the uproar in parliament? This says so much about the human race right now, devolving morally, ethically and spiritually.

Supporting patients through opioid analgesic discontinuations

 https://www.australianpharmacist.com.au/how-pharmacists-can-support-patients-through-opioid-analgesic-discontinuations/?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=paid-social&utm_campaign=Mahlab+-+FB-PSA-AU-CONV&utm_term=REM-Targeted&utm_content=New+opioid+discontinuations&fbclid=IwAR3HNBPTqR380CWLNUHj0ERypPrmsky9QVHShEeM4ySvXVhH3lBFFypDy1I_aem_Acm1hwGs8tWtqWZfK7bXOMg49gwkJlxy1vlAT50f8TiVGdwLIf_VYA0SoTaboUWcz5k5D1UZJkoqky5a4odQL26k


This is going to be very difficult for many people in chronic pain and suffering from serious illness such as cancer. Pain clinics have a waiting period too. I have been waiting over a year to see the local clinic. And the stupid thing is, I am already doing the right things for pain relief. Heaven knows what I would do if I was in the condition some people are in. My husband has chronic pain too and has a condition that the doctor said is too dangerous to operate on. 

The arrogance of doctors and government officials that have never had to live with such pain and suffering is galling. Where is the compassion and empathy? What about human rights to have pain relief that is effective? If people just accept this then it’s on them because no one has the right to do this to anyone, it’s inhumane.

We are not talking about drug addicts on the streets, we are talking about people who are genuinely suffering. It’s no fun being in chronic pain and dying, yet are prevented from proper medical care. How many more drugs will be withdrawn after this lot? We need to know the answer now not later.

Study reveals surprising habit that psychopaths are more likely to do

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/mental-health/study-reveals-surprising-habit-that-psychopaths-are-more-likely-to-do/news-story/bc744cf685f80f048005274bb274e9f7

The first test should be an MRI of the brain along with a psychiatrist evaluating the person and then other methods of investigation that may not be traditional medical investigations. Looking at the finger length is only a possibility, you would need a very skilled palmist to show which particular lines or marks in both hands relate to the psychological profile and health issues, not to forget the domestic life of the person. 

Then looking at the persons astrology chart which lays out the entire profile of a person. That requires the exact time of birth of the person to be able to give an accurate interpretation of the individual and even with these things nothing is 100% . Did you know that the star sign of Aries is regarded as the most likely of all star signs to be a psychopath? 

Even here it is the placement of planets in houses that make the personality traits of an individual and then the degrees and angles when formulated inform the astrologer of the persons behaviour and mind set. Again there can be things that may not show up. So you need several things put together to make a reasonable opinion but first is a proper medical assessment. 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4034374/

This link here discusses the use of MRI to view the formation of the subjects brain in diagnosing abnormalities such as psychopathy. There is no cure for psychopathy either, and some of these individuals can be highly intelligent and able to evade detection.

This is the AI version of iridology which maps the entire body and what health conditions a person has.

A study that is centuries old, I had a pregnancy detected by iridology, I was already aware that I was pregnant at the time but it showed up during an appointment for something unrelated.

Misogynist bastards: Woman horror procedure reveals country’s national shame

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/woman-horror-procedure-reveals-countrys-national-shame/news-story/b7d3f3772075e51a5118206cf9af5d4e

There is no other way to describe this horrific abuse, other than calling them racist misogynistic bastards. It turns my stomach reading this, to  be blunt. This is a hatred of indigenous peoples by the elites, you want to know why? It is a spiritual thing and a hatred of pure blood indigenous peoples world wide that’s why. Indigenous peoples have strong connections to spirit too, so don’t take this lightly, it is a long established fact that we indigenous peoples have strong spiritual connections. That spiritual connection is literally in our blood and the soul fire is very powerful, that is why both the Catholic Church and the secret societies hate indigenous people. They want to cut our connection to pure spirit, especially women because we have the strongest spiritual and psychic connections that is why they hate us and want to destroy us.

Do deeper esoteric research and you will see the connection. It’s no skin off my nose if you don’t believe this, we spiritual indigenous peoples are fully aware of the truth. Now look up the South American women that were sterilised in the 1970’s

Here is some extra reading but it only scratches the surface. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_of_Latinas#:~:text=Starting%20in%20the%20year%201909,younger%20women%20were%20especially%20targeted. 

In the land of the free and home of the brave in 2020. Misogynistic bastards still perpetuate their abuses against women. Do you hear the Catholic Church complaining? Err no.  Funny how the silence is deafening isn’t it! And let’s not forget about the abortion issue, that’s pure hypocrisy right there. Women in America obviously don’t have bodily autonomy and human rights in 2023! You can thank the Catholic Church and the secret societies for that misogyny. They are no better than the Taliban! 

Fear of dependency on the state, more like the elite wanting to keep money and power over the rest of us. Money that we  ordinary people toiled for; in blood sweat and tears and often to death. Yet we have to justify our right to exist constantly. Auditioning for your life, just screams out at you. The rich and powerful don’t play fair and they don’t share anything. They take and take until we bleed literally. The more ordinary people there are the elite fear us rising up against them and that was the pretext for inventing communism. The joke is on us ordinary people. 

Eugenics is a rich man’s toy as it is, and you would be surprised as to how many famous people are eugenicist dating back to early 19th century with their fake Christian values. Meanwhile the rich men whored around impregnating women at the drop of a hat and do to this very day. Human rights only applies to some people but not all of us, it always did.

Queensland mum was worried about stubborn spot on her nose. Her GP told her it was nothing. This is her warning

 https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/queensland-mum-was-worried-about-stubborn-spot-on-her-nose-her-gp-told-her-it-was-nothing-this-is-her-warning-c-12504693

Asumption is the mother of all f##k ups! A GP is perhaps not the best qualified person to make a diagnosis on skin cancer and there are many different ways skin cancers appear. There are too many screw ups like this happening in Australia. My husband was twice told his cancer was eczema by our doctor, despite me intuitively knowing it was skin cancer, but thankfully our doctor did refer my husband to a dermatologist because the medication for eczema made absolutely no difference. I had to keep nagging my husband for a year or two to get his arm checked out because I knew something was wrong. 

People should get into the habit of having a skin cancer checkup at a  cancer clinic. Stay up to speed on your skin check ups for peace of mind. It is our responsibility to maintain checkups at the recommended times. 

I am glad this young mother has had proper medical care so that she can continue to raise her family. I hope that she never has to go through this ever again. Please; book an appointment to have your skin checked, remember the damage is done usually in childhood and appears to be dormant for several years before it manifests visibly. I often see small children outdoors without sun hats and exposed skin in summer and babies in strollers without sun hats or a canopy to protect them from the sun. The younger the child the more delicate the skin and the UV rays penetrate deep into the skin. Bad habits in sun protection can be lethal and in a country like Australia one must never take risks with their skin, not to mention the importance of teaching children good skills in skin protection for life. There is nothing more unsightly than skin like leather which prematurely ages the individual.

Parents’ chilling warning after baby eats mushroom growing in house plant pot

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/parents-chilling-warning-after-baby-eats-mushroom-growing-in-house-plant-pot/news-story/650a13269005cf0e54af440d2a6fab98

Wow, How terrifying, I know that plants can get a white fungus on the soil over winter if you over water them. It smells like vomit and you know instantly that it’s not normal and you need to get rid of it.

Sometimes just having the plant sitting outside in the sun can kill the fungus. But you need to be mindful of the care of each type of plant you have and they often require different care depending on the species. If you’re unsure Google is you friend. It’s a good idea to keep the plant tag that comes with the plant when you buy it and keep it in the pot or in a plastic sleeve with other plant tags. 

Also when your children are small keep your plants up where the children can’t reach them. Avoid table cloths that the child can pull and cause the plant to fall on them. That also includes plant stands because children will pull it over in an instant especially if they are just learning to walk. They may try to use the plant stand as an aid to help them get to their feet. You just have to be all eyes with small children around, and damn they are fast, lol. I have had some scary moments when my children were this age and I was a very vigilant parent. 

I am so glad to see this little boy made a good recovery thanks to his quick acting dad. Hopefully the little chap will forget this ever happened.

Finally a cure for chronic cold hands? Researchers find genetic cause of Raynaud's phenomenon that blights hundreds of millions

 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12623463/genetic-cause-Raynauds-phenomenon-syndrome.html

I have had Raynauds syndrome for many years. I have it in my hands and feet and the pain in my toes is absolute agony. Even in bed on a hot summer night I often have socks on to stop the pain. The fan blowing on my toes triggers the itching and burning pain which prevents me sleeping. My fingers go purple practically every day and that’s just if the temperature is a little lower than normal either indoors or outside. 

I recall being a small child around three or four years old and my fingers on my right hand especially would go purple. My parents never had that investigated by a doctor, I just had to live with it. The toes started to be painful when I moved to Canberra in 1995. But I recall winter in Scotland when my toes were sore and that was just put down to the cold weather when I was outside even though I was wearing warm socks and boots. The house was always warm and comfortable thankfully, but boy what a shock when I got to Canberra and experienced this pain. 

One particular winter in Scotland I was about 14 years old and playing on the ice with friends all afternoon. I was dressed warm but I had school shoes on that were ones that I had worn at school in Australia and not suitable for winter in Scotland. They were great for sliding on though. But because it was freezing cold and I was out having fun I didn’t worry about the cold on my toes which was very painful. That was until I decided to go home as the pain was so bad. 

But when I got indoors the pain was through the roof. My mum had me sit next to a gas heating vent and had a basin of warm water to help warm my feet. It was much worse than the pain that I felt already. I sure learned a lesson from that. I screamed with the pain and was crying because it was so painful.

I often wondered if that was what caused my Reynauds syndrome. But I already had this in my fingers from a small child so I perhaps just made it worse, I don’t know. I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both my wrists for a few years now and trapped ulnar nerves which are inflamed in both my elbows and nerve damage just under the surface of my forearms. So I experience pain constantly for many years, but reading this article I noticed the low blood sugar levels. I have diabetes on both sides of my family however I am not a diabetic. 

I read through the comments for the article and I noticed the mention of vit B3 , magnesium and blood medication. For me the magnesium doesn’t help but it helps cramps in my legs. There were side effects from the medication prescribed by my specialist which I took for two or three days and had to stop. I just try to keep my toes and fingers warm. What I don’t know is if the tingling on the tip of my tongue and bottom lip are part of the Reynauds or not. I told my GP but no answer from him on that one 😳 I have been through specialists and basically there’s nothing that they can do other than surgery for the carpal tunnel and my nerve entrapment. That surgery for the elbows is not always successful so I won’t be doing that. My wrists, I don’t know, I need to think about it. I lose feeling in my hands constantly and waken up at night with numbness in both hands. 

My shoulders and neck were injured in a crash back in 2015 and I am pretty certain that the nerves below the surface of my skin and the nerve entrapment was caused by that accident as I was holding my tablet reading when the accident happened and I was thrown upwards and backwards in a second. It was such a violent accident, the force of my arms being pulled up in quick and violent manner was quite painful.

Pain killers only worked for so long and long term use leads to liver damage. So I am just trying to keep my fingers and toes warm and use deep heat ointment regularly on my arms and even my toes.

Empty Nose Syndrome: Rare condition ‘suffocating’ patients

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/empty-nose-syndrome-rare-condition-suffocating-patients/news-story/dcd0c9da6c6ebc28db09cb6d51e8d8e8

What a terrible tragedy. I have never heard of such surgery or turbines in our nasal cavities. I do know that scraping the sinuses is not successful for people with constant blocked noses as a person with a constant blocked nose through allergies and chronic sleep apnea there is no way that I would consider nasal surgery. 

The suffering these people go through in their daily lives must be absolute hell. It may be better to explore alternatives to surgery such as Chinese medicine or homeopathy and irrigation treatments for clearing the sinuses. 

 https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/24286-nasal-irrigation

Please read this article about the pros and cons of nasal irrigation if you are considering buying a kit. I use it occasionally myself. I still have the congestion though and use allergy medicine every day. Surgery is not going to cure the problem and I don’t recommend it at all. 

You can use fenugreek, horseradish and garlic tablets to help with the symptoms but there is no permanent solution to the problem but a change of diet may help you, such as avoiding dairy products.

Stephanie Aston: Woman dies aged 33 after doctors dismissed her horror EDS symptoms and accused her of faking it

 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12485989/woman-dies-33-doctors-accused-faking-EDS.html?ito=social-facebook&fbclid=IwAR0VEGH4ijeSou66yTlDrvIx1zZve0uzyNhRosFTuNIabSERss6AQtWtl04_aem_AUuwwxF0_46WwHGAhfruOKj0Zqx9QWWIbM4LNPm-JYatQ7fzKmBx7uDLOOQzFrOA5yw

This poor young woman suffering like this and dismissed by yet another arrogant doctor. How disrespectful and disempowering to be treated like this. I hope that some good can come out of this situation and protect others in similar circumstances. The heartache that this woman and her family have had to endure is unacceptable and something needs to be done to hold the medical system accountable.

Genetic blood condition haemochromatosis continues to be under-diagnosed, say advocates

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-09-04/nt-darwin-mother-spreads-haemochromatosis-disorder-awareness/102799642

It’s also known as the Celtic disease, and it is not rare. I was tested for this before being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Luckily for me my haemochromatosis came back negative. It depends on how well informed your doctor is. But it is definitely not a rare condition otherwise it wouldn’t be called the Celtic disease.

Eczema, Asthma, Food Allergy and Hay Fever: Common Origin Discovered Behind Major Childhood Allergies

 https://scitechdaily.com/eczema-asthma-food-allergy-and-hay-fever-common-origin-discovered-behind-major-childhood-allergies/

Most illnesses start in the intestines and that was something that was known by academics thousands of years ago. They just didn’t have the technology to prove it, only by observation. Fermented foods were used to repair the health of the gut. It is similar today except we can do proper scientific analysis and alter the diet to address the deficit. 

This is why when using antibiotics one takes probiotics for three months to restore the gut bacteria for optimal health care. Not being a doctor I don’t know what age treatment should commence for babies. Though I do feel both paediatric and natural therapists care combined may be helpful. Also when to start babies on solid food may make a difference too. When I was a baby, babies were on solid foods at three months old, but when my babies were born the rule was 6 months old. That may work on some babies but not all babies. I had to start my babies on solid food by 4 months old or there about because they were clearly not getting enough nutrients. My doctor advised me to mix a malt type product into the milk formula to help them but it only worked for so long and then I had to introduce baby food. That was a laugh and a half, the first mouthful and baby is like, what am I supposed to do with this mush. 

Modern society uses a lot of processed foods and they may not be good for infants and children and they may cause allergies and intestinal issues. Since the 1980’ there has been a significant increase in childhood allergies and asthma. You really notice this when your children are starting preschool and kindergarten. I was stunned when my oldest was starting kindergarten when I saw how many children had health problems. I was not around children up until that point because I didn’t know anyone with children. So it was a big surprise. My oldest child was an asthmatic and then developed other autoimmune health problems.

WHO holds first traditional medicine summit

 https://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/who-holds-first-traditional-medicine-summit/news-story/0b233491ab449998802052a793a277a5

I have said previously that the day will come when conventional medicine will need to allow for alternative medicine and treatments because of the lack of doctors and a failed medical system. 

Well here we are a medical summit to discuss this very subject. The only reason that very few tests have ever been conducted on natural medicine is because big pharma has a vested interest in debunking things that are able to be grown in your garden.

Too young: why are Australians under 50 increasingly being diagnosed with cancer?

 https://apple.news/Azc3IesQWSzetzrpblPjNWA

Bowel cancer can happen at any age so don’t kid yourself, and insist on a colonoscopy if you are passing blood frequently. There are others diseases too like Chrons disease, ulcerative colitis and Chrons -Colitis. With ulcerative colitis you definitely pass vast amounts of blood and left untreated it can kill. There are a few doctors that are not well versed in these diseases striking young people because they may not see this disease very often but they should send you for a colonoscopy if you are bleeding. There is a big difference between haemorrhoids bleeding and passing blood from bowel movements.  

 Don’t be fobbed off by a doctor that treats your concerns as over reacting. As I have pointed out in several posts about my husband at the age of 21 being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and he was unfortunately in the worst category with his  illness and his body did not respond to treatment so he had to endure several surgeries and blood transfusions. He also had a DVT at the same time, talk about seriously unlucky. 

Don’t ignore the symptoms of passing blood in your stools regularly it is serious. Fear often delays people going to the doctor too. But if you catch the symptoms early enough you can be in with a good chance of survival so don’t delay out of fear. Your diet definitely affects your health in multiple ways,  and processed foods are the main culprit especially eating processed meats like ham and sandwich meats. Tinned processed foods are also in the unhealthy category due to preservatives and sugars. Corn syrup is a major contributor to health issues. 

Your intestinal health must always be monitored because this is where most symptoms for serious illness occur. The intestinal walls are very thin and it doesn’t take much to have a leaky gut which then is the catalyst for many diseases or other health issues including depression and anxiety. Leaky gut syndrome is extremely common and is part of the reason why people are getting sick. The stomach is also the second brain when it comes to serotonin although it works differently in the stomach, and this was know by scholars as far back as Hippocrates time they believed if the stomach was unhealthy it could cause depression. 

One thing that I learned in my early 20’s by going to naturopaths was the importance of taking probiotics and good quality ones prescribed by my naturopath or purchased at a health food store that are refrigerated.When taking antibiotics you should simultaneously take the probiotics to assist in fighting the infection. Lactobacillus acidophilus combined with other good bacteria should be taken for three month to restore the gut bacteria to a healthy state. If your lactose intolerant acidophilus may cause bloating and diarrhoea. Acidophilus can cause weight gain too so be careful. There are other good bacteria alternatives that are available so talk to a natural therapist or enquire at your health food store about what the best probiotics are for your body. There is a specific probiotic for people that suffer from IBS too. 

Also fermented food like sauerkraut and pickled vegetables are very good for your body just read the ingredients of the product before buying it in case it has sugars that are not good for your health especially corn syrup which is a known neurological toxin. Apple cider vinegar made from the whole apple or mother apple is also a good health choice. I have always had this in my kitchen since I got married because I am well aware of its health benefits due to my father taking it for his ulcerative colitis when I was three years old. 

Remember to always inform your doctor on what alternative health products you are consuming because they may interfere with your medication and perhaps there is a better alternative for you.

You will find this philosophy article quite informative also, notice how everything comes full circle eventually. Nothing on earth is new, everything goes in cycles including the way we think. 

Humans are creatures of habit though and often get fed up with food and then go looking for chocolate and other goodies that they crave. So it’s a bit of a vicious circle with our eating habits not to mention long working hours and coming home tired and not wanting to slave over a stove to make dinner for the family.

Modern society is on a treadmill without sufficient balance between working and relaxing at home in order to stay healthy. Working in retail and hospitality especially can mean long work hours or not enough work hours to be able to afford good quality food for optimal health. Add the cost of living into the equation and you can see the dilemma. Then factor in having or not having sound knowledge of nutrition, while struggling with food affordability, keeping a roof over your head while juggling your finances. Healthy choices are not easy on a limited budget and so the cycle of health can be a constant struggle for many people. 

It’s best to just try to avoid takeaway foods and fried foods and soft drinks to start with, make some healthy choices such as switching to apple cider vinegar instead of other vinegars. Apple cider vinegar can be used with olive oil to make a salad dressing too. Not to mention apple cider vinegar has multiple benefits and uses. Did you know that apple cider vinegar helps balance the acid in your body? 

Switch to healthy foods as soon as you can to obtain the best quality life before you hit old age, by the time you reach 60 your health could already be compromised. Compare your body to an old rust bucket of a car to a Lamborghini. Shit box or a cool looking car, hmm tough decision! 

One final thing though, check out the ingredients of everything you buy, because there are preservatives, food colouring chemicals and other things which are just a number on the packaging. You need to learn what they are and what they do to your health. These are all factors which may affect our gut health and our entire bodily health and wellbeing.

Surprising Signs of Dementia and New Research On What Causes It

 https://medical-news.org/surprising-signs-of-dementia-and-new-research-on-what-causes-it/43287/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=MN11&utm_campaign=23854738898970760&utm_content=23854738899060760_23854738935190760&fbclid=IwAR2wj7AdGv0TD_AHZtVxx_9tgwp7IGQpQTJlnObFROOh5jpsM1UoH0WmijI_aem_ARmTqKyTtR5QhxvusGzmMORdnLGvp3bvOD5y9c6POP5zFBvKDspRMRnlVhCPwuZgArZ0JG5plXC1Wtmd91glGB3Y

This is a very interesting article and we all need to know the signs, most of us have loved ones going through this nightmare and it is a very big problem these days. We know it is on the increase and there is a rare child version of dementia, sadly people as young as their  20’s have been diagnosed. 

I would say not only are genetics involved but also our diet plays a huge role in this disease. Loneliness too is definitely a factor if people are shut off from the community and they have no interaction whatsoever with others. They just lose the sense of belonging and possibly the will to live.
