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.

Cornflowers as medicine
https://www.rxlist.com/supplements/cornflower.htm
This is something that I didn’t know, I grow Blue Cornflowers or Centaurea cyanus every year, as I was fascinated by them in my gran’s garden as a child. It’s such a striking flower and so simple at the same time. Blue cornflowers are also used with Bergamot in Lady Grey tea and in some brands of French Earl Grey tea. I had no idea that it had medicinal properties until just now. So I am sharing this for anyone that is interested but notice there are warnings about allergies in this article.
I usually grow this and Love- in-a-mist, aka Nigella sativa every season along with cosmos and other daisy like flowers. They make a wonderful display over the summer season and then you can save the seeds for next season. Keep them in individual envelopes and mark them with planting instructions and season.
Nigella is similar to cornflour but the seed pod is like a papery ball with black seeds inside that can be used in cooking and medicine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigella
Nigella is in bloom now if you live in Australia but Cornflowers are planted in spring after the frost is over. Happy gardening and I hope you do try growing these pretty flowers they make a lovely indoor flower too.

Contemplating your belly button or oiling your navel for health
Here is something interesting about our belly buttons, putting oils on our belly button for various health benefits based on Ayurveda practices. It covers things such as skin care, women’s health issues, arthritic pain, gastrointestinal problems etc. Do be careful of allergic reactions to certain essential oils though, find an alternative choice if possible. I put a few links here for people to read, you may discover more information online for other remedies. For instance people that use essential oils know that ginger, chamomile, lavender and peppermint are good for the digestive system and wind pain when mixed with a carrier oil and massaged onto the abdomen. Chamomile is good to use with lavender to help one relax and assist in sleeping especially if used with magnesium.
There are different oils for different health purposes including essential oils in a carrier oil base. Grape seed oil absorbs into the skin easily and doesn’t stain your clothes unlike other massage oils, but if the carrier oil is also part of the treatment then wear an old t shirt when applying the oils.

I hope this post is beneficial to many people who may not have come across this therapeutic practice.
Warm and fuzzy hugs peeps 🤗🤗

Female Physicians Are Dying by Suicide at Astonishingly High Rates
https://www.sciencealert.com/female-physicians-are-dying-by-suicide-at-astonishingly-high-rates
Holy cow this is totally unacceptable, what price do we put on a human life ? Or any life for that matter!
It says so much about society and this world. Without doctors and veterinarians we are stuffed, remember that. The establishment doesn’t care about the welfare of the doctors anymore than they do about the rest of us. They are sociopaths and it’s a trickle down effect, when it reaches the bottom of the barrel that’s women. We don’t count for shit and it’s always been this way. Even female doctors can be like this with female patients, it’s a case of shit flows down hill. Those without a voice cop the most shit, that’s the patriarchal system, it’s predatory and merciless.
Man 'in limbo' waiting for consultant appointment
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4n887wj9ko
These situations are created, they don’t happen by accident. This is politicians at all levels who are to blame. If you have been reading my blog over the past couple of years you can see what my husband has been through and it became critical, and potentially close to dying because of mismanagement in the local hospital.
I have absolutely no time for politicians and the medical establishment hierarchy because of the screw ups we have been through. I can relate to how upset and frightened this man is. I pray that he get help sooner rather than later because he could die while waiting. Ideally he should keep pressure on his local mp, the health minister and anyone that can help him get the care he needs. How much value do you put of a human life? Asking for a friend.

Parents warn never to kiss a baby on the lips after their daughter suffered brain damage
I saw an article come up on Facebook and knowing that they don’t fact check anything now, I googled this particular article, it’s actually from 2019 but still relevant and really important to get the message out to the public.
What does it take for people to use their brains when it comes to babies and germs? Viruses and bacteria live around us and transmit diseases, use your brain and do not kiss babies or children on the mouth. Never mind the fact that some children are neurodiverse and don’t like to be touched. The whole COVID pandemic has done nothing to make people think about infection and virus control. Nope, everything was just discarded as soon as people felt there was nothing to worry about. Back to the usual habits.
My mother, if I can call her that, was notorious for kissing on the mouth. She had a history of cold sores, but never gave a single thought to transmitting her viral infection. No, my baby got it as did I because of her ignorance. I don’t want others to pay the price of gross arrogance and ignorance. Stop and think before you act. Do not touch a baby or child without permission from the parent. It’s called respect and manners for a start. The herpes virus stays in your system permanently, it never goes away. It will keep coming back regularly and you will transmit it to others.
You do not have the right to touch a child or baby, ever, without permission from the parents or the child. Do you want to risk the health of a child because of your stupidity and ego? I am not a tolerant person when it comes to child safety, my newborn baby was infected by my mother due to her ego. Not once did she admit fault. Her enormous ego would never permit fault.
When the damage is done it can’t be undone, the baby lives with the consequences. The immune system is just developing in a new born baby, so please keep that in mind. My husband had a very serious autoimmune disease when my children were conceived and thus both have a damaged immune systems. It’s not rocket science to work this out, unfortunately as young parents we didn’t know that at the time. We obviously knew about infection control, just not DNA damage when it comes to reproduction, back in the day doctors were just learning about DNA damage, so being in our youth we had no idea.
Please keep a watchful eye on your babies and children and educate your family members about transmission of herpes and other viruses. You don’t get a second chance with this. There is not enough public awareness on this and that is not good enough, we need universal health warnings to educate people.
UPDATE child loses his sight due to herpes from a kiss 13/3/25
Read the comments, one child was left disabled after being kissed on the nose by his grandfather who had cold sores.

What your mouth has to do with your risk of dementia
This is an interesting article not just for us older people, we all need to learn about this terrible disease. Please take the time to read this article. One thing that I am curious about is people my parents age and older having a full set of dentures at a young age, yet still have dementia.
Young women in the old days had all their teeth removed around the time they were having babies, so did this cause infection to get into the bloodstream in their late teens or early 20's? That is decades before the disease takes hold. For instance many of my aunts that died in their 90's did not develop this disease in their 60's or 70's and only one or two ever smoked I have no idea about alcohol consumption, other than at New Year family gatherings. Most of my mum's side lived to ages 88 to 96 and only be in a nursing home in their 90's it is puzzling as to why it takes decades for the disease to manifest.
Yes, some succumb to dementia in their 70's or 80's but some later in old age. Genetics obviously plays it's part too, I just hope that we find a cure soon, as there are young people that are now diagnosed in their 20's with dementia, yet we don't know what triggers it in young people.
The Mediterranean diet has been touted as one of the ideal diets since the 1980's, yet look at the junk food in English language countries as well as a high dependance on processed foods. I personally try to avoid processed foods as much as possible. And almost never eat take away foods, the cost of living crisis is a major problem in food affordability in Australia and Britain meaning many people have to feed their families unhealthy foods just to survive. Add to the problem; the cost of visiting a dentist, many people just cannot afford to see a dentist and that is getting worse in the past 5 years.

Growing anger as women's health crisis threatens to leave thousands unmedicated
Living in a first world country and this happens, unbelievable. This shortage has been allowed to happen if there are problems internationally, how long has it been happening for? I question the use of the word surge, there isn’t a sudden increase of women hitting menopause, it’s a constant cycle in the human population. And given the world population has increased shouldn’t the pharmaceutical industry adjust accordingly?
Australia needs to be manufacturing more medicine on shore, we can’t depend on overseas for medicine especially in current times as shipping goods is problematic due to world politics and conflicts. That should be rectified by building more facilities for producing drug ingredients on shore to supply our medication supplies.

Doctor declared cancer free one year after receiving treatment inspired by his own treatment
Very brave man, that takes courage to be a Guinea pig for new medicine. I hope he stays cancer free from here on in. The scientific breakthroughs are part of Uranus’s power so it is no surprise that he made such an amazing discovery.
When I was reading the article I saw blue healing lights in a cluster above his head. That is a positive sign spiritually, blue is a healing colour, but in the future light therapy will be common treatment. The blue spectrum is very important in this technology.
UPDATE: 11/3/25 Sadly his cancer has returned, just when we thought there was hope ðŸ˜

It’s not just the brain that we need to worry about, it’s our entire bodies. We are full of all sorts of chemicals from our foods and the environment.

A Common Sleeping Pill May Reduce The Buildup of Alzheimer's Proteins, Study Finds
As someone who suffers from insomnia this interests me. I do believe that we will have a significant breakthrough in this treatment in my lifetime. It may start by stripping something from the drug and using a combination treatment. I am only going from intuition here as I know absolutely nothing of medicine.
Long term medication does harm the liver, but it’s quality of life that matters.

Probiotic Delivers Anticancer Drug To Gut
https://www.miragenews.com/probiotic-delivers-anticancer-drug-to-gut-1361941/
This looks promising, but the body needs to be alkaline to stop disease too, when the body builds up acid it becomes sick. Life is pretty hectic for the average person as it is, and trying to afford a healthy nutritious diet is getting more difficult for people especially if they have a family to feed. Probiotics are expensive for many families too, and you need top quality probiotics that are kept refrigerated. Anything else is not worth buying, so do your research before buying anything. Natural yoghurt is a good start as are fermented foods, though not everyone can eat these for health reasons such as allergies to these things or an intolerance. Talk to your pharmacist about probiotics for people who are lactose intolerant as there are alternatives.
This is where those that can afford to, need to use a naturopath as well as their family doctor. Learning what is nutritional and what is immune system enhancing. With the changes in our world these days we owe it to ourselves to learn nutrition and preventative natural medicine to work together for optimal health.

Scan exposes how bad sleep affects our brain, study finds
I have never had a full nights sleep in almost 36 years. My husband having health issues most of his life means we are both never getting a full nights sleep uninterrupted. I have chronic sleep apnea too and as we get older there is insomnia sometimes. I have always been fully aware of the importance of a full nights sleep, because my father always instilled this in me. I always went to bed early but my parents would be awake until 11.00 pm every night watching TV, and up at 5.30 am to get ready for work because the traffic in Sydney is terrible.
Going to bed between 9.30 pm and 10.00 pm is probably the ideal time and reading a book to relax before going to sleep. Not heavy reading, it should be something that doesn’t overwhelm you or require heavy concentration. When you feel sleepy it’s time to put the light out. Do not have blue light in the room either because it affects your sleep as do lights in cold white spectrum.

Brain doctor reveals 1 thing you need to avoid if you’re depressed
It’s about time this issue was openly discussed, what you eat affects your health, physically and mentally. Modern food is garbage and the high quantity of take-away food in society is unacceptable. Without proper nutrition of course you will become depressed and obese with various health issues. Not to mention dental issues.
Most of what is on supermarket shelves is garbage and unfortunately with the cost it living so high most people are struggling to keep a roof over their heads, feed their families and hoping they will have a job next week. Add the expense of seeing a doctor, or dentist on top of that, and there is no way the average person can afford to eat healthy food every day and keep their optimal health. Don’t forget we also need sunlight for vitamin D to prevent disease and depression.
Natural unprocessed foods are expensive right now depending on your income level, as are good quality refrigerated probiotics needed to restore gut health. For a start if you have to take antibiotics, you must replenish the good gut bacteria at the same time as you take your antibiotics. But it should be a three month course of taking probiotics to restore your gut bacteria. Now just picture a family needing medicine, the cost on top of normal weekly household bills pushes the bank account balance down in current times. So the nutrition needed may be impossible for many families right now, and that leads to health problems.
Children are especially vulnerable if there is insufficient nutrition needed for healthy body and brain development. The government needs to take action to ensure that people are able to have access to healthy nutritional food at a reasonable price. Without good quality food we will have children growing up with vitamin and mineral deficiencies which will affect their ability to develop physically and mentally, and to prevent depression and other mental health disorders. That in turn affects their employment choices and wage potential in adulthood. Better education on nutrition should be provided at every level of schooling, explaining what happens to their bodies when they don’t have the right nutrition.

Helicobacter pylori: One in three Aussies infected, and most don’t have a clue
https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/2024/09/29/do-you-have-a-hole-in-your-stomach
I had never heard of this until about 10 years ago when a friend found out that she had it. Thankfully she got it treated. I went to get tested for this twice but my tests came back inconclusive, but taking antibiotics in the week prior to the breath test stopped an accurate diagnosis.
Hygiene is the vital factor in preventing infection of any type of infection or disease and common sense. The problem is people become lazy with their hygiene habits and we saw this during COVID, people pretty much went back to the same old habits very quickly.
Washing your hands immediately after going to the toilet and even after being out shopping, at work or school is important for keeping any germs away from you. People forget what they have touched or come in contact with as they are shopping and especially handling a shopping trolley or cart. Just think of how many people have touched that trolley before you have touched it. Coughing and sneezing spreading saliva unwittingly, handling money etc.
Simple soap and water and washing in between your fingers for two minutes makes sure that any bacteria is removed. Just like a surgical team does prior to operating on a patient. Having said that there are doctors and nurses that have been found not washing their hands in hospitals through laziness. They should know better, and it would be a good idea if they were tested regularly for any bacterial infections that could be transmitted to patients. Think of the MRSI’s living in hospitals that are hard to eradicate. Then you have to ask yourself how many doctors and nurses have Heliobacter, of course they may not even know they have it; which is all the more reason to test them frequently and reduce the risk of spreading the infection.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori Read about the full medical impact of Heliobacter and the risks if untreated. Australian doctors discovered the relationship with gastric ulcers in 1983. Awarded the Noble Prize in 2005.

Multiple surgeries could lead to cognitive decline, study finds
A very interesting article, anesthetics always have an element of risk involved and it is pointed out to patients prior to agreeing to surgery. Dementia is on the rise regardless and that includes people that have never had surgery in their lives. A diet heavy in processed foods is a bigger threat to our health than surgery. My paternal grandmother had dementia and never had surgery in her entire life. Genetics will also play a factoring role in getting dementia.
Interestingly, there are also the astrological aspects from the time we are born and these factors contribute along with all surgical procedures.
Astrologers have always known the time of a person's birth along with the placement of planets and asteroids in a natal chart affects the individual. Astrology also tell us when surgery can be detrimental due to the astrological influences on particular days of the month and why despite successful surgery a patient dies for no apparent reason.
A Google search will show the dates of when to avoid surgery including retrograde planets. This was something that I checked out before my husband went into hospital a few months ago especially because his surgery was very risky. His natal chart shows good recuperative abilities as does my natal chart. Unfortunately I have a risk of dying under a general anesthetic or in my sleep because I have Neptune in my 8th house which is a house of surgery and endings.

What’s the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath? Less than you might think
There is quite a fixation about this subject in recent times and it is understandable given that society is in the crash and burn phase cycle again. Psychopathy is not any different to other hereditary illness, disorder or disease in respect to being in the DNA and soul group. So therefore it may not be able to be eradicated from the genetic makeup of a particular family.

Doctors issue health warning over excessive intake of common vitamin that can cause weakness, numbness and pain
The sensible thing to do is have a full blood count done before taking over the counter vitamins and minerals. There is also any medication that one is taking that must be factored in to the equation. Even some herbal medicines can harm you if used incorrectly and some actually affects the medication that you are taking. Always consult your doctor and your pharmacist.
