Women and the #Autoimmune Time-bomb.

Last nights free presentation with the Natural Body Cafe on female hormones and the link between oestrogen and Autoimmune conditions hopefully provided some clues and answers to finding health and happiness (and weight loss) and loosing those mood swings! But there is so much more to hormones than we could possibly imagine……..

Cannabis oil and being a single, white female

Not being one to partake in recreational drugs, but following a bicycle indecent recently, I was struggling to cope with the pain despite being prescribed a powerful anti-inflammatory and paracetamol every four hours.
I turned to our dear, revered Mary Jane, at just the right moment. You see, in the past I had attempted to use CBD oil as a therapeutic tool but, unbeknown to me, the levels of THC were still too high for me and I didn’t react in a positive way. I’m guessing it was likely my very low blood pressure and tachycardia which triggered me to have my first seizure, so I was fairly apprehensive about trying it again. Fate had it that a friend of mine was visiting from USA who is a CBD oil supplier, and sold me some high strength at a fabulous price, with the guarantee that it was a low dose THC… You can find the same product here.

Depression: don’t separate the mind from the body!

Where does the brain end and the body begin? There’s no exact defining point, and so we should embrace mental health as being entwined with physical health, but the medical system tends to compartmentalise the two separately.

#Fibromyalgia: the 21st century cover up?

Considering its literal description – ’tissue pain’ – it’s beyond me how the medical profession is still getting away with it. But, yes, Fibromyalgia (FM) is the general label given to the condition suffered by so many people, predominantly women, who have a set of symptoms that their GP can’t or won’t investigate.

Future Diagnosticism

Have you heard of Bioresonance?

You should have heard of it by now, as it has been around for a relatively long time and it’s very smart……

Autoimmune Thyroid Disorder

A recent client turned up, understandably frustrated, because of her long-term symptoms. These were caused by Hypothyroidism, or were they?

The Sunshine Conspiracy

I have recently been undergoing surgeries for basal cell carcinoma on my face, which has been quite distressing. I have found frustrating the blanket assumption from family and medical professionals, that it has been caused by the sun, that the cancer is a consequence of my spending too much time outdoors.

My Introduction to Lyme Disease

Ticks Bite

About 20 years ago, when I was in my early 20s and travelling through India, I became sick with a terrible fever.

The Good Fat and the Ugly

It was a revelation to discover exactly why good fats are crucial to our health, and why bad fats are so damaging.

The Gallbladder’s Role in All of This

Ask not ‘what does the gallbladder do for us?’ but ‘what can we do for it?’…..

Cancer, Lyme and other diseases – a connection?

The big ‘C’

It was the word to avoid on a myriad of health forums. Until recently, that is. Now, it appears that sufferers of cancer, Lyme Disease and many other conditions are joining force, and that can only be a good thing.

Relationships and Chronic Illness

Before my ex-husband and I married, I momentarily considered whether two sick people together was a really bad idea. I asked myself: “Do two wrongs make a right?”
