The Selling Of Gardasil
Eighteen months ago and amid enormous fanfare, pharmaceutical giant Merck announced that it had produced the first vaccine against cancer. Gardasil would fight against the human papillomavirus that caused cervical cancer and the target would be *** girls, who would be protected before they have sex.The launch of Gardasil has been so successful that one in four teenagers in America has already been...

Grandparents Play A Key Role
On the basis of our fruit and vegetable books, we were invited to join 8000 other participants from 150 countries at the third Slow Food international Terra Madre conference in Turin. For four days a diverse mix of food communities, small scale farmers and fishermen, chefs, traditional medicine growers and practitioners, university educators, consumers - including over a thousand young peopl...

Start With A Kitchen Garden
Growing fresh healthy crops full of vitamins and minerals does not require a large vegetable plot. Indeed even with a large vegetable plot we still grow things in the kitchen in areas of less than one or two sheets of A4 paper to demonstrate what is possible for apartment dwellers, the infirm and children. Our automatic starter is often producing a diversity of sprouting seeds – eighteen pos...

The Alternative's Better - Whatever The Price
Does anyone remember the ‘controlled experiment’, decades ago, that I can just vaguely recall, in which a high quality perfume was masquerading as two competing fragrances (although they were, of course, the identical product): one at a high selling price and the other as a discounted drug store item (selling at a small fraction of the cost of the other) ? The outcome was t...

Measles - What Next?
Vaccination rates are dropping. I believe that is a good thing. Living has its risks (and its benefits, of course). We are always making choices. In this case, it’s the risk of getting measles vs. the risk of getting autism or other neurological disease. It’s a no-brainer as to which one I would rather expose my children to. Many of us older people &...

Meditate Yourself Healthy
In today’s fast-paced society, more and more people are turning to meditation to help deal with the stresses and strains of everyday life. But meditation is more than just a way to switch off and relax. As the latest research shows, this age-old technique is in fact a powerful tool that’s proving to be beneficial for an array of health conditions — from insomnia and a...

Grow Your Own
Labels on bottles of vitamin pills frequently include the note 'Not intended as a substitute for a balanced diet'. Heath authorities worldwide now recommend that we eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day for their vitamin and mineral contents, others emphasise that these are best if fresh and grown ecologically/organically without the use of chemical fertilizers, insectic...

ADHD Overload
Nobody has anything nice to say about NICE - so, being a contrarian, I will! As you may know, NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) determines the drugs that should be made available on the National Health Service based upon their effectiveness and price. Invariably it makes decisions that upset some groups, and is seen as a skinflint denying life-saving pharmaceu...

You Are Your World
One of the central messages of our site is that you have to take responsibility for your own health. There's no such thing as the free lunch when it comes to your health (and, if you happen to be a 'free lunch' believer, you probably also cling to the notion of the 'magic bullet' antidote, which keeps the drug company coffers full).While taking responsibility includes all...

This Pill Makes You Rich
Let's get down to the real nitty-gritty of what medicine is all about - money. As stock watchers amongst you may know, Big Pharma is being marked down by City (and Wall Street) slickers, who are putting up 'Sell' notes wherever they are seeing a pharmaceutical company.Why? Haven't drug companies found a cure for cancer yet? Or perhaps they're not getting the rapid r...

Extra, Extra! Get Your Free Vitamin D!
Vitamin D, essential for human health, is more a hormone than a vitamin, and you can indeed get it for free – as it is secreted by the body under the influence of sunlight. This activity involves the skin, the liver, and the kidneys, and about 36 hours after the sun exposure the synthesized vitamin D (known as cholecalciferol, or vitamin D3)is available in the bloodstream. It has multiple ef...

Your Right - Even When You're Wrong
The struggle between the Sons of the Enlightenment and medical quackery - as they view any therapy that doesn't involve powerful pharmaceuticals - is getting more bitter by the day.In the past week, the University of Central Lancashire has closed its BSc course in homeopathy following what the lecturers describe as a relentless campaign by David Colquhoun, one of the Sons of the Enlighten...

Aspirin Alerts
Aspirin seems to have reclaimed the mantle of 'wonder drug' over the last couple of days with new research that recommends all healthy men and women who are 50 years and older should take one a day to prevent heart attack and stroke.It's not the first time that aspirin has been promoted as the ultimate prophylactic that needs to be part of everyone's daily health regime. ...

Pills And Privilege
Drug companies enjoy a very privileged position among the industrial sectors. They are granted extraordinarily high levels of privacy and protection, non-drug competitors are not allowed to bring alternatives to market, especially in the area of cancer care, their relationship with doctors is protected by the Advertising Standards Authority and by the media, and their executives sit on many ...

How Clean Is Your Electricity?
‘Dirty electricity’ is a phenomenon few of us have heard about but it could be affecting the lives of millions of people around the world, according to new research.Basically, dirty electricity is a power quality problem generated primarily by modern electrical appliances and lighting systems. Sources of dirty electricity include:ComputersVariable-speed motorsTelevision setsEntertainme...

Soy - Not So Fast
Soy has been used traditionally in China, Korea and Japan for thousands of years. As a legume high in both protein and fat, it yields numerous products, many of which are now part of large industries. Among the traditional products are the unfermented tofu and soy milk, and the fermented miso, soy sauce, tempeh, and natto. In the early days of the “health food movement”, mid to late...

Fit Body, Fit Brain
I’m not a big fan of Sudoku. So I was thrilled to learn recently that another good way to keep your brain in shape is through exercise. Researchers from the Netherlands studied data from nearly 700 adults aged 55 and older and found that those who improved their cardiorespiratory fitness through aerobic exercise also boosted their brain power (Cochrane Database Syst Rev, 20...

Cigarettes And Mobile Phones
Those of you old enough to witness the descent of the cigarette, from essential accessory for the sophisticate to Evil Incarnate, within two generations may be getting a sense of deja vu right now.This time round it's the turn of the mobile, or cell, phone, which, over the past 15 years, has become the essential accessory for everyone who needs to tell everyone else everything you are doi...

A Reign Of Error
The UK government has come up with a novel way to improve efficiencies within the National Health Service. It's planning to pay a bonus to surgeons whose patients survive and recover. The annoucement comes as a surprise to those of us who had naively assumed that that is what they're paid to do anyway, and it's just one of a raft of measures that incenti...

Summer's Here - And The Living Should Be Easy
First of all, let’s make sure we get our vitamin D this summer – by getting sun on our skin without sunscreen! Just make sure you don’t burn. Any little bit of sunshine will help, and your body will store the vitamin D it makes in the summer for several months. It also feels wonderful! Then, make sure to eat lots of colorful plant foods, and especially ber...

Finally, It's Self-evident
One of my favourite philosophers used to be that arch pessimist Arthur Schopenhauer. Put it down to a troubled adolescence. Although he said many significant things, everyone today seems to quote this one saying of his: “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” I was r...

Lorenzo's Legacy
Lorenzo died a month ago, just one day after his 30th birthday. Doctors had told his parents he would die at the age of 8 from a rare disease called ALD (adrenoleukodystrophy). It was their refusal to accept this prognosis that led them on a ceaseless quest for a cure, which was championed in the award-winning movie Lorenzo’s Oil. Throughout, they were discouraged by doctors...

A Diet For Healthy Teeth
Here are some dietary pointers to help you improve the health of your teeth and gums. These are based on the research work of Melvin Page, Weston Price and Francis Pottenger which, in turn, has been the basis of many of today’s dietary regimes. Protein. Eat small amounts of protein regularly - around 2–4 oz per serving per meal are ideal - which should comprise young red meat such a...

A Nice Little Ernst-er
You are Edzard Ernst, esteemed professor of complementary medicine at the University of Exeter, and I claim my £10,000. Please wire my payment to: Bryan Hubbard@Dunworkin. As you may have heard, Edzard has done a Randi, and has announced a £10,000 prize to anyone who can produce evidence that homeopathy works.
