If you read any NICE guidance they always trot out the same lines about “patient centred care” and then review the evidence that is deemed high quality (RCT’s and systematic reviews/meta analysis) and then produce recommendations from that. The issue in my opinion is that: – They are missing out of lots of good evidence because it is not deemed of a high enough standard (not an…
Fingers crossed you have managed to overcome the massive hypoglycemic slump induced by all the easter eggs the Easter bunny left for you and have enjoyed the pleasure of a 4 day work week. I have loved seeing the new Vitamin D TRIAD product (it has vitamin D and two forms of K2 MK4 & MK7, hence TRAID…..obvs) being sent off. We have sent out over…
For many years I have used multiple brands of supplements, endlessly reading the labels looking at which nutrients were included, in which form and at what dose.

So I have often used different brands…

Welcome to all my neuro-mechanically minded colleagues, but before we get in it, a warm welcome to the new members on this list from the British Chiropractic Association (BCA). On Wednesday night, I shared a romantic night in with over 400 members of the BCA whilst we canoodled in front of zoom and I whispered sweet nothings into their ears about vitamin D…..and they say romance…
“I just want to adjust”. I hear that quite a lot and (if I’m honest) I’m actually the same when I’m in my Chiropractic environment. If I can SUSTAINABLY improve function with neuro-mechanical intervention and the patient is remodelling/healing, they will tell me they are feeling better, then I am happy to do neuro-mechanical intervention on its own aka “I just want to adjust”. Though actually…
Back in the day (2007 in fact) when I first went gluten free and starting eating to manipulate my microbiome, I was quite the crazy person. I didn’t eat starch at all, I fermented vegetables and took bacteria as supplements, what a nutter! These days I am positively mainstream, I can walk into most supermarkets and buy fermented sauerkraut, kombucha and gluten free goods as…
The answer to the email title is the ubiquitous herbicide, glyphosate. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA, over 93 percent of endangered species and 96 percent of their habitats are likely to be harmed by glyphosate. In its report, EPA found that glyphosate, which affects non-farm environments predominantly through field runoff and spray drift, is “moderately to highly toxic to fish, highly to…
