Well, who would have thought it? After years of being told that coconut oil was the worst possible oil and we should use margarine because butter is bad for us, the world has turned upside down. And I am not a conspiracy theorist! But any thinking person has known for a very long time that [...]
More and more people are realising that “normal” western (allopathic) medicine is not the total answer to their health problems, and are looking for alternatives. Also, people are becoming more informed about the fact that there are other choices.
Holistic medicine treats the whole person. Lifestyle, diet, history are all relevant – not just the presenting [...]
So it seems that those people with a belief in doing unto others are healthier.
A growing body of research is showing that people who care about others tend to be healthier and happier. Makes sense, doesn’t it? If we focus outwards on others’ needs, obviously there are others in our life. It has been recognized [...]
A lot of people seem to think that chiropractors, masseurs, physiotherapists and “manipulative therapists” all come out of the same box. Let me correct this.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that with the low-fat diets of the last 30-odd years there has been an increase in MS and other neuro-degenerative myelin-related conditions? And allergies? And asthma? When I was a child, there was no asthma – we were just “wheezy”.

These two recent articles discuss the role of chiropractic care in the treatment of headaches:
MY HEAD HURTS and MY HEAD STILL HURTS
You really need a sense of humour when you suffer from migraines! That is why I became a Doctor of Chiropractic. I suffered severe migraines (is there any other kind?) in my teens. My [...]
