Last week we talked about the gut microbiome and how it might be one aspect of why some people cope with COVID-19 and some do not. You and your immune system developed over several million years, a beautiful symbiotic relationship, giving your immune system the right “tone” and indeed tolerance. Tolerance specifically against you. This week I want to show you a real life example of when…
This week I have recorded a video for you on recent research on the gut microbiome and the severity of COVID. I also give you a sneaky peak at a little section of the gut microbiome section of the CCCN course, enjoy. Full research article here: https://gut.bmj.com/content/gutjnl/early/2021/01/04/gutjnl-2020-323020.full.pdf I mention butyrate in the video, you can read more on that here from a newsletter in 2019…
Last week we talked about a probiotic yeast to help dodgy tummies that is little known but well researched, lychees hidden secret, saccharomyces boulardii. This week we are going to talk about something that is well known and widely used by the NHS, but so much but the rest of us. Activated charcoal. If you turn up in hospital after swallowing something poisonous, one option is big glass…
If you come to my house you will always find a cupboard stacked with nutritional remedies for every occasion. Back in the summer of 2019 I told you all about a probiotic yeast saccharomyces boulardii, which is a brilliant supplement for the gut microbiome. It really helps to crowd out the pathogenic bacteria and if you have a dose of something nasty, you can nip…
Welcome to 2021 and if we thought that 2021 would bring us any change soon, we were mistaken. A group of the most published vitamin D researchers in the world have put together an open letter to governments around the world to show the weight of research backing 4000 iu daily of vitamin D to help patients immune systems work better in the fight against COVID-19….
Firstly happy new year to all of you, make 2021 a triumphant year for you and your family, regardless of the world around you. It certainly has been a strange and often disorientating year and who knows where we will be in another 12 months? I have emailed to my MP on four occasions and only had one reply, a disappointing haul. As I pointed out in…
I have prepared a video for you this week which covers: – Vitamin D levels and dosing using the chart – you will have been sent the chart when you signed up, but I have attached it here once again talked through the chart and how to use it. – The Neuro-mechanical metabolic interface – I have extracted some slides directly from Module 1 on pain thresholds…
We all know that when it comes to helping a newborns immunity breast is best, and there are many reasons for that. Immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, human milk oligosaccharides (for your gut microbiome), I could go on but you get the idea. But one other thing you might not have heard of is monolaurin. It is a medium chain triglyceride, derived from lauric acid and it has…
Last week we talked about viruses and the long term effects they can have, this week I want to give you something you can use when a virus begins to attack. Zinc has long been used for immune system support, but the research is very mixed for a variety of reason (dose and form used being the most common). But many years ago while treating…
As the lockdown train rumbles on, impervious to facts trying to slow it down and derail it to save the economy, the one other story the press love to run, to add just a touch more fear beyond death is…… long covid. Now personally, the idea that a virus can continue to produce symptoms after the acute infection has gone, is as obvious as the holes…
