These complaints are all too common these days. One would have thought that with our continual 'progress' in the medical arena, few would be suffering from these. In fact, the opposite is happening. More and more young people suffer from chronic health issues. The visible ones like eczema, acne, psoriasis can be particularly devastating because of how awful it looks. This can have a negative impact on one's confidence and mindset. Medication does little to ease the suffe

Did you know that in the majority of Western countries, the sperm count of men has dropped by 50% (and is rising), in less than 40 years? Births rates are at an all time low and the ageing population is set to grow. As many as 23 countries will see their population halve by 2100. While some of this can be attributed to low sperm count, some is due to many women choosing not to have children, or have fewer children and they have easy access to contraception. I'm not here to d

Now this is a double entendre or double-sens! And, no, I am not going to talk a load of rubbish! :) I am going to talk about our toilet habits.

There are those who have a bowel movement daily, some every 2 days, others once a week. Now going daily is a good thing, however, the formation of stool is an important facto

We live in a time when we are overfed and under-nourished. Many of us have moved away from eating real, whole foods. Relying instead on processed 'food-like' products that offer zero nutrients. Even those who seem to be eat 'healthy', will be deficient in something. Much of our produce is grown in nutrient depleted soils, so in order for us to get enough vitamins, minerals and enzymes, we will need to eat way more than we currently are. There are certain scenarios when par

This is something many of us presume to be if we don't look fat on the outside. I have heard many say that they can eat what they want because they "aren't fat". This is a myth. My late father-in-law had a quadruple heart bypass when he was in his 60's. And he wasn't "fat". No one could believe that his arteries were so clogged up. After surgery, he was put on a lifetime of drugs and told that he probably had a good 10 years before his arteries would clog up again. He di
