So at the recent functional medicine conference in Galway, 2 very high profile cardiologists from the UK came out and said, the research that was used in statins was flawed and they highlighted how they actually do not increase life expectancy. We are always told follow the science, well the science that was followed just happened to be manipulated by the drug companies. Put simply inflammation in the body is the causation for many if not all the heart related issues we see today. The article below verbalises very well, the whole statin issue. Please read and make your own mind up.

Must try these ones...

Prolonged use of PPI's more than doubles your risk of stomach cancer. Very interesting.

Community Initiative Update I have started working with my first client and will choose another next month. I have been swamped with messages and all I can say is thank you for taking the time to contact me. I must say a big thank you to Jane Carroll Therapies who has come on board on a case by case basis to offer her services as an acupuncturist, in fact she has offered to help my current client with 4 free acupuncture sessions. Thank you also, to Betty O’Neill and Declan Gilmore who have offered their services. Would also like to thank Ger at Only Natural who has kindly offered his help, with providing supplements at a sizeable discount to help the clients I am working with on this in initiative.

Looking forward to seeing this man speak in a few weeks time at the Functional Medicine Conference in Galway. Take a moment and look at this interview.

Looking for something warming and packed full of goodness, why not try this one pot curry.

Looking for something different, these look great. Drop the sauce in the video and make a homemade spiced hummus to make this even healthier. Enjoy.

Community Initiative Over the last few months I have seen how fortunate I am. And it is seeing this, that has made me stop and think. So, I have come up with a way that I can give back by giving my time. From October on wards, I am going to give up 1 space per month, in my clinic for someone who needs some nutrition coaching or nutritional therapy, who seems to be struggling financially. This could be a family, a single mum or a group of old age pensioners. I am offering this up to someone who is in need. If you think you may know someone or indeed is that someone, please message me in strict confidence. I am also looking to get other therapists in the Wexford area involved. So, if you are a therapist and think you can be of assistance, please contact me also.

While only looking at one case it seems the the ketogenic diet is very effective in Crohn's disease management. Many consider ketogenic to be that of a fad well u can assure you ketogenic diets are not fads but a life saver to some.

Worth a few moments of your time and feel free to post a comment.
