The Gift in Me!
By: Alister Bredee    Monday, Feb 20, 2012
Conditions: Prostate cancer
As the New Year dawned, an astonishing article in the Australian press proclaimed that cancer had outstripped heart disease as the number one killer in the country. This is quite astounding. What has been going on to cause such a turnaround? “Why”, is a particularly pertinent question, yet it is rarely asked! Many believe the diagnosis of cancer is a mandatory death sentence. This is simply not true. In its estimations for 2012, the American Cancer Society named prostate cancer as the most common type and projects that there will be 241, 740 cases during the year. Of all of these,  ...Read More

Coconut Oil Can Help Heal Alzheimer’s disease
By: Alister Bredee    Sunday, Feb 12, 2012
Conditions: Coconut oil can help heal Alzheimer's disease as well as Schizophrenia
Coconut Oil has had a poor press over the years. This was mainly due to a campaign planned to promote the benefits of Soya, and like in so many publicity related conflicts the facts gave way to fictional commercial interests. Now, a Florida physician has written a book demonstrating the benefits of coconut oil. Hopefully, this will dispel many of the half truths that have surrounded this oil for far too long! Dr. Mary Newport runs a neo-natal ward in a Florida hospital but her interest in the coconut began not in her work environment but in her home. Her husband, Steve, was diagnosed with ...Read More

Beware, Synthetic Cells and Synthetic Supplements
By: Alister Bredee    Sunday, Feb 05, 2012
Conditions: Using good quality, non-synthetic supplements is a health benefit
A group of American scientists has just developed the first synthetic cell, made entirely in the laboratory! They call it Cynthia! What's more, the developers applaud this finding as the commencement of the third industrial revolution. This sounds strange, what do they mean? We suspect, however, this is a message telling us that this man made life form could somehow be "robotized" and we would then have a workforce of drones to do all the work. Indeed a disturbing concept, where man is playing at God with the belief that all the bases are covered. Are they? Most of the food supplements that ...Read More

Keep Your Blood Sugar in Range:
By: Alister Bredee    Thursday, Feb 02, 2012
Conditions: Blood sugar issues
Blood sugar testing is performed to check the amount of glucose that is in the blood at a given time. This is an easy test to administer and it can be performed by doctors, other health care professionals, and many pharmacies also have the facility. The reading is shown in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L). This is a useful test to have done if you find you have been gaining weight, and it doesn’t seem to shift easily! The place to start is to ascertain a fasting blood sugar level. A healthy reading will lie somewhere between 80 and 99 mg/dl. If you want ...Read More

"Eat Right For Your Type."
By: Alister Bredee    Thursday, Jan 26, 2012
Conditions: Weight loss and overall wellness
Graham Rowe was the Manager at one of the health resorts on the ‘paradise’ island of Koh Samui. He trained as a naturopath in his native Australia and explained what ‘eat right for your type' means’. “Basically what we are saying is that one size doesn’t fit all. We need to base our diet on blood type. This is because the different blood groups profoundly effect body chemistry. There is an interaction between body chemistry and food.” This idea is not Graham’s, it comes from work done by Dr.Peter D’Adamo who wrote a bestseller called ...Read More

“The Great Garbage Dump in the Sea.”
By: Alister Bredee    Wednesday, Jan 25, 2012
Conditions: The health hazards of slow bio-degrading plastic.
“The Great Pacific Garbage Patch” was discovered accidentally by yachtsman Charles Moore and his crew, who decided to take a shortcut back home to California, after competing in a sailing race to Hawaii. Their 1997 shortcut took them into an area of the North Pacific known as the “doldrums”. This region of high atmospheric pressure has been historically avoided by mariners because it is renowned for a lack of wind that becalmed sailing ships. It is a zone where many maritime current converge, creating a slow vortex. This whirlpool effect sucks floating filth from the ...Read More

Are mobile phones really safe?

Conditions: Exposure to microwave radiation causes cancer
On the 26thof June 1996, Irish investigative journalist, Veronica Guerin was fatally shot as her car paused at a red traffic light on Dublin’s Naas Road. Guerin, one time personal assistant to Irish Prime Minister Charlie Haughey had trained as an accountant before entering journalism, so she was well qualified to research the dealings of the drug gangs who had a fearsome reputation in Dublin’s inner city. At her post-mortem they found severe burns in the region of Guerin’s right ear. As a journalist she was a heavy user of the mobile phone. This posed some momentary ...Read More

“The Cooking Oils War”.
By: Alister Bredee    Wednesday, Jan 25, 2012
Conditions: Overall good health
You would have to be blind not to notice the number of coconut palms on Koh Samui. In fact the same has to be said for the remainder of Thailand. Samui has been dubbed “the coconut capital’ of the country because it sends more than 2,000,000 nuts to Bangkok each month. The ubiquitous coconut has played a healthy role in the staple diet of tropical dwellers for as long as time itself. In 1939 an American dentist called Dr. Weston A. Price published a book called “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration,” His thesis was that the standard American diet high in sugars and ...Read More
