Diabetes organisations and diabetes educators have no clue about diabetes and don't help people with diabetes

12/6/2026

7 years ago I went to a “Low carbohydrate diet for Diabetes” seminar presentation at Diabetes Queensland. I saw their advertisement for the seminar and I thought “FINALLY!”, that a major diabetes organisation had read the many research studies on using low carb diets reducing and reversing diabetes, so I booked in!

The ½ day seminar was run by a Diabetes Qld representative who herself had Type 1 diabetes. There were only a few people in attendance, approximately 4 junior dietitians, 3 student dietitians, myself and a low-carb friend.

The seminar quickly turned to disappointment when their version of “low carb” was having no less than 130 GRAMS of carbs/sugar PER DAY! One level teaspoon is just 4 grams! So Diabetes Qld wanted to introduce a new “low carb” diet for people with diabetes which has more than 32 teaspoons of sugar per day!

So the attempt by Diabetes Qld was just “marketing”, and to pretend that they are on board with the “low carb” concept, but not really changing anything to help people with this chronic health condition.

I should have known the seminar was going to be the usual cr@p as soon as I arrived, and seeing a bowl of lollies on each table! You can see this in one of the attached photos. And everything got even worse as the day went on.

Morning tea was a sugar-fest with cakes and muffins! Lunch was sandwiches and fruit (more carbs and sugar!). And there was a practical session of making “healthy” sandwiches with checking labels on various commercial breads to find lower carb options, which I refused to participate in.

I did ask some embarrassing questions of the host several times, and to explain why their version of low carb was ridiculous and not supported by better evidence. I hope I planted some seeds in the minds of the young dietitians there.

These diabetes associations and the information they share, or the advice they give through their “educators”, clearly shows that they have no bloody clue what they are doing. They were (and still are) blaming dietary FATS, high calorie diets, and being overweight for causing diabetes, which is completely wrong!

These so-called health organisations exist from public funding and donations, to maintain themselves and the status quo. Never has any of these health organisations with their hundreds of millions of dollars in donations ever found a cure for these chronic health conditions. Or they would be out of business!

Diabetes is not a difficult condition to treat, reverse and even prevent! Just prescribing insulin and telling people with diabetes to avoid fats, keep eating a diet high in carbs, sugar and grains, which doctors and diabetes organisations do, is just INSANE!

While a diet high in carbs and sugar is a huge root cause to the development of diabetes, it isn’t the only cause or factor which needs to be addressed or treated. Then there’s also the many different types of diabetes (Type 1, 1.5, 2, 2a, 2b, 3, 3c, 4, 5, LADA, MODY, Inspidus, Gestational, and more!) all need to be addressed and treated differently in each person, with a more root-cause based treatment approach. This is what I do!

Why taking melatonin as a supplement doesn't work to improve your sleep

12/6/2026

So many patients I see have sleep problems, from difficulty getting to sleep (ie, sleep onset), restless sleep, interrupted sleep, and waking up tired for the next day. Like most things, taking medications or even supplements doesn’t fix the root causes or factors which are contributing to the sleep issues in each person. And different people can have different causes and factors to their sleep issues, so a different treatment recommendation is needed.

Poor sleep quality or quantity can lead to the following health issues:

1. Low energy and fatigue
2. Poor concentration and memory
3. Mood and behaviour changes, and worse mental health symptoms
4. Low immune function
5. Poor healing and tissue repair
6. Weight gain
7. Increased inflammation
8. Changes to many metabolic hormones including increased cortisol (stress hormone), increased ghrelin (hunger hormone), decreased insulin sensitivity, decreased leptin (satiety hormone), reduced testosterone and muscle protein production
9. Increased risks of cancers, partly due to the reduced immune system function and the other effects listed here (Zamfir Chiru, Popescu & Gheorghe, 2014)
10. And more!

There are so many factors which can cause sleep issues, that I could write a book on the topic! So I won’t go into everything here! One of the main factors or things we need for optimal sleep is for our bodies to make Melatonin, which is our “sleep hormone”.

The main thing we need to make Melatonin is sun exposure! We don’t make Melatonin from being indoors, but only from being outside! We don’t have to physically be in the sun and have sun on our skin to make Melatonin, like we do to make vitamin D, but from sun exposure through your EYES! Hence we can make Melatonin from being undercover or in the shade, or even if there’s a rainy or overcast day. The more time you spend outside during the day, the more Melatonin you make.

Melatonin is made in your pineal gland during the day from sun exposure through the eyes. Melatonin is stored in this the pineal gland until the sun goes down and again your eyes are used as sensors to detect the fading light, and your eyes signal the pineal gland to start secreting the Melatonin to help tell your body it’s soon time to sleep, and keep you asleep through the night.

However there are a number of factors which can interfere with Melatonin production including:

1. Wearing of sunglasses – this can block sun exposure into the eyes and reduce Melatonin production
2. Shift work – people doing shift work don’t get enough time outside during the day
3. Nutrient deficiencies can affect the production of Melatonin, even if you get enough sun exposure
4. Thyroid function, liver function, stomach function – all are needed to be functioning well for a number of metabolic functions in order to produce Melatonin.
Hence Melatonin production and sleep issues are a WHOLE BODY issue, and cannot be fixed from taking medications or supplements alone, including from taking Melatonin supplements.

In my experience, I find that 95% of the time that people try to improve their sleep with taking Melatonin supplements, it doesn’t work. Because the root causes of the sleep issues are not being addressed. This shows the importance of finding and fixing the root causes of sleep issues, and not just trying to address the symptom of poor sleep!
Melatonin as a natural hormone or in a supplement isn’t actually a sedative and doesn’t make you tired or sleep, or bring on sleep! It’s a circadian rhythm (day/night) regulator for your body, to tell your body WHEN to sleep.

Melatonin isn’t only just your sleep hormone, but it is also a major antioxidant in your body to reduce oxidative damage! As such, it reduces oxidative damage to cells and organs, reduces damage to immune system cells, reduces inflammation, and other benefits, all of which can reduce the risks of cancer development. A number of published studies do show many people with cancers have low melatonin levels (Zamfir Chiru, Popescu & Gheorghe, 2014).

If you have troubles with sleep, such as difficulty getting to sleep, interrupted or restless sleep, poor quality sleep or if you do shift work, or if you have any health issues alongside sleep difficulties such as weight gain, low energy or fatigue, mental health issues, or even cancers, then you need to fix your sleep issues for your long-term health. I can help find all the root causes and factors which can be affecting your sleep as well as other related health conditions and symptoms!

Stay healthy!

The real causes of weight gain have nothing to do with calories!

11/6/2026

0 Comments

Following on from my 2 previous articles on the topic of calories, which seems to have got the uninformed pro-calorie Personal Trainers a little off-side, I get asked a lot how to help someone to lose weight, especially as weight gain or weight loss is nothing to do with calories (or kilojoules)! So what is best, or what works to help someone to their optimal or healthy weight?

First let’s look at what doesn’t work, from my clinical experience, and from published studies!

1. Low fat diets don’t work! Your body doesn’t get fat because you eat fat, or because fatty foods have higher calories! There are also very healthy essential fats we have to eat in our diet, but also very unhealthy processed fats and seed oils.

2. Low calorie diets don’t work! Calories are a useless concept for measuring the health of a food, or the effects they have on your body, and nothing to do with weight gain or loss. Low calorie diets mean “low fat”, as fats and oils have the highest calories compared to all other macronutrients.

3. Counting calories doesn’t work, nor does having a calorie deficit, or the whole calories in vs calories out scam! See previous point, and my 2 previous posts on calories.

4. Eating less doesn’t work! Your body needs NUTRIENTS to function properly!

5. Reducing or eliminating meats doesn’t work for fat loss. Instead you may not get enough protein and you lose muscle mass instead of body fat, which wrecks your metabolic rate and makes it more difficult to lose weight, but easier to gain it all back again as fat.

6. Fasting or water fasting doesn’t work for long-term weight loss. Again, your body needs nutrients to function.

7. Detoxing or juicing doesn’t work for weight loss! Juices are just a concentrated sugar drink which will be turned into body fat…

8. “Diet” drinks or foods with artificial sweeteners don’t work for weight loss, and because of the metabolic changes they make in your body, they actually cause you to put on MORE weight, even though you are not having as much sugar or calories!

9. Exercising more doesn’t work, especially if you are just eating the same old cr@p! Some physical activity is good, but needs to be more specific activity or exercise for weight loss at the right times, along with the right foods and lifestyle too, or you can make no difference to your weight.

10. Eating smaller meals more frequently doesn’t work, and can actually increase blood sugars for longer, increase insulin resistance and weight gain, as well as causing chronic digestive issues. Eating more frequently prevents your body from using your body fat stores for energy, so you don’t lose weight.

11. GLP-1 medications can help to lose weight temporarily, but you also lose muscle mass and bone mass too, which is not ideal for your long-term health. Then there’s many other serious side effects they cause, if you can tolerate them. These dangerous medications are not a substitute for a good diet and lifestyle.

So, what works for improving weight loss?

1. Finding and fixing ALL the root causes of weight gain in YOU. There are always root causes and factors which contribute to weight gain including stress, sleep issues, low thyroid function, other hormone imbalances, low stomach function, inflammation, dysbiosis, and more! The causes in you will be different to other people, so what you need is going to be different to others.

2. Low carbohydrate diets work! High carbs turn into high glucose, which then turns into body fat. High carb diets trigger an insulin response, and insulin is a fat-storage hormone. So reducing carbs makes the most sense!

3. LCHF (Low Carb High/Healthy Fats) diets work. Paleo diets work. Ketosis diets work, although I recommend a more modified version of keto compared to the more extreme versions. These diets retrain your body to use your body fat for energy, as well as preventing further fat storage.

4. The best diet for you for weight loss, is one that you will be able to stick to!

5. WHEN you eat is as important as WHAT you eat, HOW you eat, HOW MUCH you eat, HOW you eat, and WHERE you eat too!

6. Some physical activity is needed, but you don’t need to be at the gym for hours each day! The right types of exercise can use the body fat stores for energy, to increase the weight loss.

7. Improving whole body metabolism and function is needed. Weight gain is a whole body issue, not just an issue of what you eat and how little you exercise.

8. Some support for past or current stress or trauma may be needed, or to change mindset over beliefs or behaviours which may be contributing to weight gain or preventing weight loss.

9. Intermittent Fasting works! This means eating food in a smaller and limited window of hours during the day, typically with a delayed breakfast. This can reduce inflammation, and trigger body fat stores being used for energy when you are not eating.

10. Eating smaller dinners works! Unfortunately, we traditionally eat our largest meal for dinner, which can contribute to more weight gain. By the time you have digested your dinner, you’re ready to go to sleep! So your body will turn your unused energy from the recent dinner into body fat to use for later. Especially if your dinner is high in carbs such as potatoes, breads and grains, pasta, rice, or desserts.

11. Avoiding processed and packaged foods works to help with weight loss, as the artificial and toxic additives, preservatives, sweeteners, sugar, colourings etc, can cause chronic inflammation, which in turn can cause weight gain. Just eat real food!

12. Testing for common causes and factors of weight gain with specific blood tests can help to find the causes of YOUR weight gain, and help you to focus on what you need to do to lose weight. Testing for low thyroid function, infections, inflammation, insulin resistance, anaemia, poor liver function, low protein levels, hormone imbalances, and various nutrient deficiencies (or excesses). If any of these issues are found, then they can be treated, to help improve your weight loss!

In summary, there are many factors which cause weight gain. As such, what you need to help with reducing weight, must be specific and personalised to YOU! Your treatment plan needs to take into account your root causes and factors, your lifestyle, your other symptoms and conditions, and to treat and improve whole body function!

Your body does not burn calories!

11/6/2026

This is Part 2 of my "Calories are unscientific, ridiculous, and should never be used" article! (See my previous post for Part 1).

One of many issues with nutrition science is the concept of a calorie, and using calories as a ridiculous measurement of how healthy a food is, or the effects of the foods on the body. The model of using calories is often referred to the Calories In-Calories Out or CICO model. This is explained as the number of calories measured in your food intake vs the calories expended or used in exercise.

Here are many, many reasons why the CICO model is complete BS, including all the following:

1. Calories of metabolic processes are different in each person, and can't be measured anyway - only the alleged food intake can be measured and the exercise done - what about all the energy consumed or produced by other metabolic processes, re-use of nutrients, re-absorption of nutrients, and waste products (from breath, sweat, urination and poo)?

2. How is a "calorie" used in the body?! What are the biochemical reactions which use calories?! (Answer: none)

3. The CICO model does not take into account each person's own metabolic rate, typically driven by their thyroid gland. Someone with a low functioning thyroid will have a tendency to have low energy, slow metabolism and easy weight gain, but difficulty losing weight, even on a healthy diet

4. The CICO model assumes that physiological mechanisms or environmental factors or other biochemical hormones have no impact on energy balance - that it is all based on how foods are "BURNED"

5. CICO does not distinguish between "good" calories and "bad" calories. We all know an apple is better and healthier than a choc-chip cookie... but a cookie may have the same or less calories?!

6. In the CICO model, they forget to include how many calories are produced or needed to digest that food. For example, a lollipop might take 10% of its calories to be used by the body, but a steak can use 30% of its alleged calories to be digested

7. The CICO model assumes that EVERYTHING you eat is going to be digested and absorbed, with NO waste! CICO does not take into account the "energy" or heat of your poo as another output for example!

8. The CICO model suggests that 500 calories from brownies is just as fattening as 500 calories of kale! It's just ridiculous!

9. A low calorie food does not imply that it is healthy for you, and a high calorie food also does not imply that the food is unhealthy

10. Similar to good vs bad calories, the CICO model does not look at nutrient density of the foods, or their macronutrient breakdown into protein vs carbs vs fats or vitamins and minerals, or how the nutrients in the food affect your body in good or bad ways

11. CICO assumes everyone is the same, or that the heat energy output from a calorie in one person is the same as for another, which is not possible

12. With the CICO model, artificial sweeteners with zero calories (but are known to cause metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, weight gain and cancer) are allegedly better for you than high calorie healthy fats or an avocado for example?!

13. CICO assumes that the body "oxidises calories" in the same way and amount as in a bomb calorimeter (and at sea level etc, in the definition of a calorie)

14. CICO doesn't take into account the adaptive metabolic processes in each person - someone MAY lose weight in the short term on a low calorie diet, but then due to hormones, thyroid changes, and other factors, weight loss can stall or plateau and then increase again due to the "starvation" effect and the adaptive slowing of metabolic processes to conserve energy for longer-term survival

15. Maintaining a healthy weight and good health is more about WHAT someone eats, not how much (or little) they eat based on calories

16. Weight gain is about over-storage of excess foods (or types of foods) not on over-eating of those foods or calories. One person eating the same foods as another will store more of those foods, while someone else will be using the foods for metabolism

17. Muscles need more NUTRIENTS for the muscle health and function, and hence more nutrients from foods are used instead of being stored as body fat. Nothing to do with calories

18. A typical Keto/ketogenic diet has more calories than a low-fat diet, yet people on a keto diet will lose more weight (as body fat), more consistently, and for longer than someone on a low fat (ie, low calorie) diet!

19. Since the 1960s we have been told that we need to be more aware of the calories we eat and to reduce high calorie foods - which means cutting fats as they have the most calories per gram. Look where that got us - with the highest rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancers, and other chronic inflammatory conditions ever in history

​20. Proteins suppress appetite to make you eat less, but carbs do the opposite, yet they have the same calorific value

21. Healthy fats suppress appetite for longer than proteins, yet they have the highest number of calories

22. Low carb diets (generally higher calories from higher fats) lead to more weight loss than low fat diets (with lower calories)

23. Carbohydrates and proteins have the same calorie value at 4 calories per gram. But replacing carbs with the same amount of protein, as shown in many studies, will result in weight loss from reduced fat stores, and sparing or improving muscle mass. Hence again, weight loss has NOTHING to do with calories of the foods you eat

24. The CICO model blames the individual for eating too much or not exercising enough, when there are MANY factors and hormones which are causing their weight gain, or preventing the usage of the fat stores for energy

25. Consuming excess calories, or even not using those calories as exercise, does not cause anyone to get fatter, any more than it does to cause someone to become taller! Expending more energy than you consume does not lead to weight loss; it just leads to hunger and probably more of the wrong foods which can increase your weight!

If anyone recommends that you should count your calories, or choose your food based on calories, especially for weight loss, ignore their advice and then run away!

As you can see from above, there are a LOT of reasons why calories are irrelevant, useless, unscientific, and not representative of how foods and nutrients get used in your body! Focus instead on the good nutrients in foods, and avoid the bad ingredients in processed foods.

Be informed. Be healthy!

Calories are a useless measurement of the health of foods!

Choosing foods based on calories as being a measurement of how healthy they are is unscientific and ridiculous! Calories should never be used as a measurement of food quality or of their health to your body.

Let's review what a calorie really is... A calorie (or more correctly, a kilocalorie) is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius (specifically from 14.5C to 15.5C) at sea level! A kilocalorie (which we usually refer to as "one Calorie" with a capital C) really is 1000 calories. Kilojoules are the metric measurement of energy from foods, so they are also an irrelevant and ridiculous measurement of the health or energy of foods.

The measurement of the calorie content of a food is done in a device called a "bomb calorimeter", a closed container containing oxygen, and the food is physically BURNED in this device, to measure its energy output as heat. This is supposed to be a representation of how our bodies use nutrients, which it clearly isn't! Our bodies are NOT an enclosed device, and our bodies do not BURN food to create heat in the same way! We have many thousands or even millions of processes and chemical reactions which occur in our bodies to convert our food into far more than just heat, but also into many other products which change in more chemical reactions to finally allow us to live and function (but not burn up!). It is actually impossible to measure the amount of energy a food really gives us in our bodies, so the concept of calories has been used. But calories have been taken too far as a measurement of food quality, when it never should be.

My other issue about using calories for foods is the belief that low calorie foods are better for you, when they are not! This concept has been used for decades by weight loss companies, dietitians, doctors, food companies, government food guidelines, and the general public, but again it's wrong!

Consider the following comparison of the calorie content of the major macronutrients:

Carbohydrates (vegetables, fruit, grains etc) - 4 kilocalories per gram
Protein (meats and plant-based protein) - 4 kilocalories per gram
Fats (animal and plant based oils and fats) - 9 calories per gram
Alcohol (ok, not a macronutrient, but it is a good comparison) - 7 kilocalories per gram.
Then see the attached graphs (in the comments) for comparing the blood sugar levels of each of these macronutrients - ie., how foods containing these affect your body...

Carbohydrates get converted quickly into glucose (ie, sugar) and raise your blood sugar levels quickly. Your body responds to the high blood sugar by secreting insulin to force cells to take up more glucose and insulin also forces the fat cells to take in the glucose that is converted to fat. Hence a high carb diet leads to fat storage and weight gain. Carbohydrates do not give a long-lasting energy.

Some proteins can be slowly converted into glucose, but generally most proteins will be broken down into their amino acid building blocks, to be rearranged into other proteins the body can use. Proteins are more filling, and give a longer-lasting energy to delay hunger for longer.

Here's an important question for you - carbs and proteins have the same calorie content, but which one has a better effect on your body, with less blood sugar spike, less insulin required, but a much longer lasting energy?!

Healthy fats generally don't raise blood sugar! However they do give a longer lasting energy, are much more filling than carbs and proteins, and healthy fats don't cause the same inflammatory and oxidative damage that carbs do.

Ignore calories, ignore calorie measurements of foods as a marker of their health benefits, and ignore counting calories for weight loss or even for general health! Also ignore and run away from any so-called influencer or practitioner who uses the word “calories” in your diet advice or health recommendations!

Focus instead on 1) the NUTRIENT content of foods, especially of whole, real, fresh, seasonal foods, and 2) avoiding processed, refined, packaged, and artificial foods which cause INFLAMMATION in your body, which is a major cause of our chronic disease epidemics today. Inflammation is one of the real causes of obesity, not calories! Inflammation comes from many other sources to cause weight gain, such as from hormone imbalances, stress, lifestyle factors, dysbiosis, exposure to toxins and chemicals, infections, and many more sources - most of which are unrelated to your food intake an unrelated to calories!

When all the root causes of someone's weight gain are investigated and treated, you will lose weight easily and consistently, without hunger and cravings, and you will be able to reach and maintain your healthy goal weight long into the future! This is what I can help you with!

In the next article I will expand more on why calories are useless and unscientific, and should never be used as a measurement of the health of a food or for weight loss.

Be informed. Be healthy.

A message to the critics of the new US food Guidelines and anti-meat promoters

20/2/2026

2 Comments

This is part 2 of my article on the critics and their comments on my previous posts on the changes to the new US food guidelines and food pyramid:

Some of the craziest comments from critics I’ve seen and experienced even on my recent posts on the topic of the recent changes to the US food guidelines and food pyramid, is the belief that meats and animal foods are unnecessary, unhealthy or even dangerous, and are the cause of heart disease, diabetes, cancers, and other health issues. And so they shouldn’t even be on the food pyramid.

Let’s think about this a bit more and take a common modern western meal to use as an example – the humble hamburger meal. So we have a bun with meat, some salad, sauces, and a side of chips/fries and a soft drink (or “soda” for those in the US!). ALL of this was valid under the previous food guidelines and food pyramid, along with chocolate, sweets, donuts, pizza, ice cream, coke, and more! What we have in reality in this meal is a highly processed high carb grain-based bun exposed to many agricultural chemicals from farming, with artificial preservatives and additives, artificial vitamins (because the natural ones were destroyed in their processing), inflammatory gluten, and even added sugar, with a variety of high carb sauces with artificial ingredients and additives, colourings and preservatives, high carb chips/fries cooked in toxic and oxidised seed oils and carcinogenic acrylamide, to be chased down with an extremely high carb sugary drink (or artificial sweetener ingredients, which are even worse for you than the sugar/HFCS drinks!) with more artificial colourings, additives and preservatives.

Oh, but it’s the MEAT which is to blame for the epidemics of heart disease, diabetes and cancers?!
Really?! Are you insane?

You CANNOT blame the meat on the hamburger for the inflammation, oxidative damage, or symptoms that the carbs/sugar, artificial chemicals, toxic oils, and other processing causes to your body and your health!

The new food guidelines and food pyramid focus on eating “REAL FOOD”, which includes meats, healthy fats, vegetables and some fruit. And less of, or none of, the highly processed crap. So that is why it doesn’t include recommendations from processed food companies, or junk food companies, and grain/cereal companies! And that’s a good thing!

Meats and animal foods don’t cause heart disease, diabetes or cancers!

The ironic thing is that it’s mostly plant foods which do cause these epidemics of chronic diseases! High carb and sugar diets most certainly cause heart disease, diabetes and cancers. And these highly processed foods come from plants. Meats with their healthy fats and cholesterol, do not cause these chronic health issues. Meats are the foods with the highest nutrient density for protein, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Far more than plant foods, especially in terms of the amounts and bioavailability of the nutrients per gram. And we’ve been eating animal foods forever in history, but we’ve only seen these health epidemics in the last 50 years! Coinciding with the introduction of and availability of highly processed foods.

There’s also the ironic and amusing use of the word “plant” when it comes to food processing, being made in an industrial plant or factory! Any “food” which is highly processed or packaged, and made in a plant/factory perhaps shouldn’t be eaten. Even if it does originally come from a real biological plant!

I’m not suggesting that you shouldn’t be eating plant foods! But I am pointing out the irony in the beliefs of many people that plant-based options are better and healthier, or that meats or animal foods are unnecessary or unhealthy or cause disease, because they don’t.

But sadly, because of past biased food guidelines and diets, corrupt industry/organisations, poor quality studies, social media and influencers, and other factors, people are confused as to what is healthy or not. It looks like the times are finally changing, starting with the US in their official new food guidelines and recommendations. Let’s hope people do start following the new guidelines, and organisations too, and that we see real reductions in these chronic health issues.

Happy 6th Birthday Coronavirus!

20/2/2026

1 Comment

On the 23rd January 2020, I first posted an article about some new virus being mentioned in the media which was allegedly going around China. Happy 6th birthday to the Coronavirus/COVID-19!

In short, my initial article was mainly a “heads up” notice, and for people to potentially prepare themselves by looking after their immune system to fight this alleged new infection. Because your immune system doesn't care what the infection is, it just naturally attacks any and all infections that you are exposed to 24/7. Providing of course that it is working well... Many, many more articles followed on the COVID theme, to keep people informed of what the published studies were saying vs the propaganda from the WHO, governments, and media.

After my first article on the COVID infection, I came across a published study which suggested that the virus did not come about naturally. I wrote 2 articles questioning the origin of the virus, and I even referenced the published study, but Facebook marked it as false – the start of their censorship campaign.

My 4th article on the topic, posted within a couple of weeks of the coronavirus scare being in the news, mentioned that our illustrious TGA (Aus government medicines regulator) gave a public warning to all health practitioners in Australia, both medical and alternative, that we were not allowed to make any recommendations for prevention or treatment of the coronavirus infection to patients or the public, unless there was some explicit evidence from published studies showing that something could actually prevent or treat this new virus! We were being told to shut up and not help anyone. This warning confirmed to me that something was not right in this alleged infection/pandemic. I ignored the TGA warning and continued to post articles on how people can improve their immune system function for prevention or treatment. And to get people to question everything they were being told by governments, doctors and the media.

I researched and wrote hundreds of fully-referenced articles on the coronavirus and COVID pandemic in those early times, and collected and saved hundreds more links to published studies, official statistics and other relevant information into a Word document, which is now 671 PAGES LONG! I still update this document occasionally now, when I come across new and interesting research on the coronavirus/COVID topic.

There have been a number of other potential infection/pandemic scares from so-called health officials and the media in recent years including of ebola, zika, monkeypox, bird flu, and the mysterious “Disease X”! Luckily, all of these turned out to be nothing.

Hopefully that’s been because more people are now aware of how to improve their immune system function for ongoing prevention, as well as for better natural treatments during infections which supports immune function, rather than the typical immune suppressing medications or mandates that doctors recommend!

While it was a very stressful and tragic time, mostly due to ridiculous and nonsensical restrictions to work, travel, and life, and the illegal mandates, the situation did wake up far more people to the corruption in the pharmaceutical industry, medical industry, governments, lawyers, and the media.
Let’s not let this happen again. Never forget.

The USA's food pyramid and food guidelines had to change!

20/2/2026

This is part 1 of my article on critics to the recent food pyramid posts:

I’ve noticed from a number of negative comments on my recent posts on the new US food guidelines and food pyramid, that some people or critics who are following specific diets have no clue about nutrition and health.

Some people are concerned with seeing meat and fats at the top of the new food pyramid, which has symbolically been turned upside down literally and figuratively! Other people have issues with grain-based foods, including whole grains, now being the least recommended foods, often saying “but where will you get the fibre from?”!

Part of the trouble is that the general public have been brainwashed and lied to for decades on what foods are healthy or not, or which foods we actually need in our diet, from the previous food pyramid design, social media influencers, and other biased beliefs. It’s not easy to accept that previously-held beliefs were perhaps false, and to take on and accept new evidence or beliefs.

The previous food pyramid and food guidelines in the USA, Australia, and other countries, were all influenced by lobbying and sponsorships from food industries, or in other words, those involved in the past food guidelines were paid to tell lies about recommendations, to protect profits for the food industry. For example, the previous food guidelines in Australia, although published by the NHMRC being a government body, was actually the result of a tender which was won by the Dietitians Association of Australia for a little over $500,000. So it was actually the DAA who produced the food guidelines! And at the time, the DAA were sponsored and paid by many food industry companies, including junk food companies and processed food companies, and so the dietary guidelines were massively biased to these processed food companies, and not based on quality evidence or published studies. This is why they promoted lots of high carbohydrate grain-based processed foods, but recommended low fats, low salt, low cholesterol, packaged foods. And not much real foods.
​
The same can be said for many so-called health organisations such as the various heart health organisations and charities, diabetes organisations, cancer organisations, etc all around the world! They too are sponsored by processed food companies for favourable recommendations, rather than the truth based on evidence.

The previous food pyramid or food plate models allowed sweets, chocolate, sugary drinks, fries, alcohol, donuts, ice cream, biscuits, and more! In what insane universe are these foods healthy and being recommended in the food guidelines?!

We’ve had 50 years of nutrition lies and propaganda, and this is why our overall health has gone backwards ever since. Despite the so-called good food guidelines and recommendations of the past, we’re experiencing epidemics of so many chronic health issues, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancers, and these have actually got worse with the previous guidelines. Something had to change!
This is why the recent changes to the US food guidelines and food pyramid are a GOOD change to the lies and propaganda of food and nutrition, which everyone has been fed for decades! I actually don’t think the recommendations went far enough, but it’s a good start.

I will follow this up with another article on this topic, as my rant went on a bit longer than I initially expected!

Links to dizziness, fainting, heart symptoms, digestive symptoms, nausea, and the gardasil vaccine

It's not well known, but there is a massive link between having symptoms of dizziness, light-headed, fainting, blood pressure issues (high and/or low), irregular heartbeat (fast and/or slow at random times), chronic constipation and nausea, or being diagnosed as having POTS or other dysautonomia conditions, and having had the HPV/Gardasil vaccine.

It's been quite common for people to have these symptoms or POTS related diagnoses since the COVID-19 mandated "treatment" too.

I've seen this in so many cases, usually of teenagers who have recently had it, usually girls but can be in males too, or in adolescence, or adulthood too. I get a lot of observations that "I've never been right since getting this".

These chronic and often debilitating health issues can be reversed by addressing and preventing the damage that these alleged treatments cause in the body. I've done this for many people!

See my article in the link below, and my longer research findings on the issues with the Gardasil/HPV shot in the comments. You can also download and share the PDF file of this research article to others who may be considering this dangerous "treatment".

For more information on the Gardasil/HPV vaccine, I have another more detailed article with full references to studies on the serious issues with this vaccine - click on the "Cervical Cancer" or "Gardasil vaccine" keyword link on the left side of this page.

GLP-1 medications cause a loss of fat, muscle, bone and your health

15/1/2026

In my previous articles on GLP-1 medications I’ve been fairly tame in my opinions and comments, and I’ve just been informative of what these medications do and some of the risks of them. A number of people taking these medications have commented on these posts and saying how these medications helped improved their health. They have missed the point on the risks and effects on their long term health. Hence this article.

A warning! This article might be a bit triggering for some people… As I don’t hold back my thoughts in this one! But I’m not apologising for this.

Briefly, what do GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and others do?

They reduce your appetite and stop hunger cravings, and slow digestive system function, to give a false feeling of fullness for longer, so you stop eating less CR@P foods, unhealthy junk and processed foods. There, I said it… but I haven’t finished.

So you basically eat less, or in reality, you STARVE your body of nutrients your body needs to function properly. When you don’t get enough nutrition, your body will access the required nutrients internally, if it can.

Less nutrition in your diet due to starvation on GLP-1 medications causes your body to break down your fat stores for energy. So you lose weight.

Less nutrition in your diet due to starvation causes your body to break down your muscle mass for protein it needs for many metabolic functions, hormones, neurotransmitters, enzymes and more. So you lose more weight. But less muscle mass causes a reduced metabolic rate, which slows your weight loss, and can even start to put on weight again even though you are eating less.

Less nutrition in your diet due to starvation causes your body to break down your bones for necessary minerals for many body functions. So you lose more weight. But this turns into low bone density conditions of osteopenia and osteoporosis, which is happening even in people in their 30s on these medications. Low bone density is a massive risk for mortality (death).

GLP-1 medications are NOT weight loss medications or diabetes medications. They are STARVATION and MALNUTRITION medications. They DO NOT improve your health at all.

You can lose weight, reverse diabetes, and reverse other chronic health conditions, and keep your long-term health, in much better and safer ways.

Stay healthy!

Rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications can cause toxins and heavy metals to be released from body fat stores...

15/1/2026

Following on from my recent article on GLP-1 medications and their effects on rapid weight loss, being from body fat (adipose tissue), but unfortunately also from lean muscle mass and bone mass too, there are some other unintended side effects of this weight loss which people don’t seem to understand but can be very bad for their health.

Our body fat stores are a biological and evolutionary advantage in some situations, such as in colder climates as it offers a level of insulation to the core organs and tissues. Our body fat can sustain life and body functions for longer in times of food shortages due to seasonal declines or the effects of severe weather events such as droughts which traditionally can limit food availability. But these advantages are much less of a benefit in modern Western cities and diets with an abundance of food.

But body fat can also be a disadvantage too. Body fat is a metabolically active tissue (Richard, White, Elks & Stephens, 2020), in that it produces metabolic hormones, which can affect your metabolism, appetite, immune system function, reproduction and fertility, bone health, and more. The hormones from increased body fat can create a vicious cycle of increased oestrogens (affecting female hormone balance, or having massive effects on male hormones), decreased satiety and increased hunger (due to leptin resistance), increased inflammation, which can all contribute to further weight gain.

Body fat can also be an area where your body will store toxins and chemicals and heavy metals, especially if your detoxification organs and functions are overwhelmed by the amount of these that you are exposed to in your diet or environment. Your body does not like having these toxins and chemicals going around the body in the blood all the time, so your body will cleverly get these toxins and chemicals out of the bloodstream into other body areas instead – into your body fat!

When you reduce body fat due to increased exercise or from reduced food intake or starvation (which these GLP-1 medications cause by reducing your appetite and hunger, and slowing digestion), your body will turn to your body fat as a source of energy.

Reduced body fat stores will also release these stored toxins and chemicals and heavy metals into your bloodstream again! (Jandacek, Liu & Tso, 2024). This will cause a LOT of toxicity, oxidative damage, and inflammation symptoms, and likely overwhelm your detoxification organs (liver and kidneys etc) and cause damage to them.

Recirculating toxins and chemicals will also affect your brain and affect your mental health, but also affect all organs and tissues, and therefore your overall health. The released toxins and chemicals and heavy metals may cause symptoms of fatigue, poor memory, poor concentration, headaches or migraines, increased mental health symptoms, inflammatory symptoms in the digestive system or on the skin, liver pain, or other symptoms.

Hence if you are using GLP-1 medications you need to take this info into account, and include in your health plan some ways to prevent the inflammation, oxidative damage and toxicity during your weight loss.

Additionally, due to the reduced nutrient intake from the reduced appetite and slower digestion, you need to include treatments to prevent the muscle loss and bone loss, and prevent other chronic health issues which result from the nutrient deficiencies or the muscle/bone loss.

Taking GLP-1 medications for weight loss or diabetes without these precautions will likely affect both your short-term and long-term health.

Stay healthy!

GLP-1 Medications – The Real Story!

6/1/2026

I’m sure you have all seen the relentless advertising on social media and other sources, including even in “news” stories, of the latest “science” in weight loss, being the GLP-1 medications of Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and others. These medications are being prescribed for weight gain and obesity, or type 2 diabetes.

This article will go into detail on these medications, including how they came about, how or if they work, and their controversies and risks. Then you can see if these medications are right for you, or what might be some alternatives.

Firstly, what is “GLP-1”?!

GLP-1 is “Glucagon-like Peptide 1”, or a protein similar to Glucagon, which is one of your main metabolic and digestive hormones (Ohio State University, 2025), particularly of glucose metabolism. Both glucagon and GLP-1 are naturally made in your body, in the pancreas and intestinal tract, respectively (Runge et. al., 2003). Glucagon and GLP-1 act in similar ways in your body to:
  1. Prepare the pancreas for insulin production and secretion following a meal high in carbs
  2. Slows the stomach function
  3. Tells the brain that we’ve had enough food (especially sugar/carbs).

The GLP-1 medications are known as GLP-1 Receptor Agonists. This means that they stimulate the effect of the natural GLP-1 hormone in the body, but for much longer than the naturally-made GLP-1 which breaks down quickly. The medication form of GLP-1 is synthesised with modifications to its chemical structure to the natural form, to allow it to last for, and have its metabolic effects for, approximately 1 week as opposed to just minutes for the natural GLP-1. These medications are administered via a weekly injection.

The GLP-1 medications were originally designed and used for people with diabetes to reduce blood sugar levels. But it was found that people taking the medication lost a significant amount of weight. This lead to people taking the medication for off-label use to lose weight instead. This is why some GLP-1 medications have regulator approval (ie, from FDA or TGA etc) for diabetes, and others are approved for weight loss.

One of the unnamed brands advertising GLP-1 medications in a weight loss program makes the following claims:
  1. Using medications for weight loss is not cheating, but the smartest way! (Once you have read through this document, you should realise that it isn’t the best way at all!)
  2. Weight loss isn’t about willpower, but biology!
  3. 80% of weight gain is genetic, so it’s out of your control! And hence why you should take these medications instead.

This is “marketing”, or also known as “lies”, to get you to buy into their product. None of these points are actually true.
 
How do the GLP-1 medications reduce blood sugars and diabetes?
GLP-1 medications allegedly work by lowering blood glucose levels, and therefore reducing the damaging health effects of glucose on causing weight gain and diabetes. In particular, these medications are prescribed also to reduce the cardiovascular and kidney effects and risks of high glucose levels (Collins and Costello, 2024).
High glucose is normally (ie, without using medications) mitigated by 1) reducing the carbs in your diet, and 2) the production of insulin by the pancreas, which enables the blood glucose to be taken up by your cells. The idea is that in diabetes in particular, the effect of insulin on blood glucose is reduced, so these medications further help the blood glucose levels and balance.
 
How do the GLP-1 medications reduce body weight? (ie, the MOA - Mechanism of Action)

The GLP-1 medications, because they reduce blood glucose, will reduce the effects of excess glucose on causing weight gain. Your excess body fat is just a storage of excess glucose changed into a form called triglycerides, ready for you to use at a future time.

The GLP-1 medications also assist with obesity and perhaps diabetes by suppressing the emptying of the stomach, to keep you feeling fuller for longer which can reduce your appetite and hunger to reduce your intake of food. The medications also prevent the production of another metabolic hormone of glucagon, which prevents the liver from releasing stored glucose (from glycogen), preventing glucose production, increased glucose uptake to the muscles, and increased satiety, all to further reduce blood glucose.

In effect, these medications are forcing you to starve yourself. So of course you will lose weight.
I don’t doubt that these medications work to reduce blood glucose, but then so can reducing the amount of carbs in your diet! Or reducing your response to stress, or doing more exercise, and addressing other root causes and factors to high blood sugar levels or weight gain. If you have tried to lose weight or reverse diabetes but are not getting the results, you haven’t found or fixed all the root causes in your situation.
 
How is GLP-1 made in medications? (ie, Where does the GLP-1 in medications come from?)

The GLP-1 Receptor Agonist medications use a synthetic and modified form of GLP-1, so their manufacturer can trademark and register their medication to prevent other manufacturers copying the medication, and so they can make more money. Manufacturers can’t get a trademark or big profits on natural products.

Hence the GLP-1 in the medications is not the same as the natural hormone. The synthetic GLP-1 in Ozempic for example, came from synthesising a protein found in the venom of a lizard called the Gila Monster! (Science Alert, 2025) This lizard is native to the USA and Mexico.

The synthetic GLP-1 from lizard venom is modified to prevent it being broken down in the body within minutes. Hence it has its effects on your metabolism for much longer than it should.

Are you shocked or concerned that the GLP-1 medications are made from lizard venom?!
 
What are the risks and health issues of the GLP-1 medications? (ie, side effects)
There have been many minor or serious and chronic health issues resulting from the GLP-1 medications, including the following (TGA, 2025; Collins and Costello, 2024):
  1. The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. The loss of fluids and electrolytes from chronic vomiting and diarrhoea will lead to even more nutrient deficiencies and kidney damage
  2. Partial or complete and sudden blindness – by reducing blood and oxygen supply to the eyes
  3. Heart and circulation issues of dizziness, fast heartbeat (tachycardia), and headaches
  4. Increased infections from a reduced immune system function
  5. Development of autoimmune and allergic reactions to the GLP-1 medications
  6. Liver and gall bladder issues, abdominal bloating and pain
  7. Thyroid cancer
  8. Low blood sugar levels
  9. Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
  10. Muscle loss – approximately 40% of the weight loss from these medications comes from the loss of muscle. This can cause more health issues from affecting your metabolic rate, causing reduced ability to lose weight, and increased rebound weight gain. In fact, most people gain at least 2/3 of their weight loss within 12 months of stopping these medications. And that weight gain is almost all body fat
  11. Bone loss – a reduced bone density occurs from the chronic nutrient deficiencies caused by these medications. This can occur even in younger people, and can increase the risk of mortality due to bone breakages
  12. Loss of connective tissue – due to the loss of protein and muscle mass, and other nutrient deficiencies caused by these medications. I’m sure you’ve seen people with the “Ozempic face”, especially in celebrities? Thin, gaunt, and emaciated faces are an early side effect of these medications, due to rapid muscle loss and connective tissue loss
  13. Decreased appetite – this is one the main actions or “benefits” of these medications, that they suppress hunger and appetite so you don’t eat as much. Or more accurately, you don’t eat as much crap foods which would have been causing the weight gain and diabetes in the first place… You don’t need a dangerous medication to suppress your appetite – you need a better choice of foods. Did you know there are foods which can suppress your hunger for longer?
  14. Lower energy and fatigue, due to not getting enough nutrition needed to produce energy, and a reduced metabolic rate.

As a result of the number and seriousness of the side effects of these medications, only 27% of people taking them can last 12 months on them (Mozaffarian, 2024).

The Product Information insert for these medications has a “black box” warning, indicating the seriousness of some of these side effects.

Frequent blood testing is recommended if on these medications, to find the above issues, before they become a bigger issue.
 
Are the GLP-1 medications right for you?

No. Never.

But there are some specific issues which would prevent someone from taking these GLP-1 medications including:
  1. People with gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying), as the medications make this worse
  2. Having inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, IBS, etc)
  3. Having past history or family history of endocrine cancers or thyroid cancer
  4. Having pancreatitis or a past history of this
  5. Having severe kidney dysfunction
  6. Pregnant women are advised not to take this medication, and women of reproductive age or who want to have children are recommended to use contraceptives or stop this medication for a minimum of several months before a planned pregnancy, due to reproductive toxicity and foetal toxicity (including deaths, and deformities)
  7. Women who are breast-feeding should not take this medication, as it has been found in breast milk in animal studies.
 
Legal action from side effects of GLP-1 medications

The GLP-1 medications are so “safe and effective” that there are numerous lawsuits being filed against some of the manufacturers for serious side effects from using these medications (Reuters, 2025).
 
The irony…

In the course of human history, hunger and starvation from malnutrition has been an ongoing issue, even today in many under-developed parts of the world. Malnutrition has been the biggest cause of death ever in humans. These GLP-1 medications promote malnutrition, and so will also promote an early death.

Scientists developed the GLP-1 drugs, not for weight loss or to lower blood glucose levels, but to stop you eating! Eating less leads to starvation, which leads to loss of fat, muscle and bone, and causes chronic nutrient deficiencies and related chronic conditions. This is exactly what happens with these medications. They are not weight-loss medications, but dangerous medications which cause starvation and malnutrition.

The reduced muscle mass will also reduce your metabolic rate, which will forever make it very easy to put on weight again, and extremely difficult to lose it again.

Some reports indicate that one in 8 adults in the USA are taking these medications or have taken them, even though they don’t have diabetes or are obese! (Food and Wine, 2025). This seems to be from the misunderstanding that people can still eat crap, but just less of it, and not get the consequences of the crap diet, such as weight gain and diabetes, or other chronic health issues.

Then there’s the financial cost of these medications… In the USA where you have to pay for everything medical, it can cost up to $16,000 per year to be on these medications (Mozaffarian, 2024). Even if every US adult were eligible for a discounted rate, it would still cost over $600 BILLION, which is more than the cost of ALL other prescription medications combined in the US!

But these medications are not cost-effective, as a study has found that the annual medical costs of those taking the GLP-1 medications actually DOUBLED due to side effects and ongoing health issues (Mozaffarian, 2024).

In Australia with Medicare prescription rebates and PBS subsidies, the cost of the GLP-1 medications is much lower, at around $30-$40 per month if approved and prescribed by your doctor, or $150-$700 privately (ie, not prescribed) (Fugen Health, 2025). The subsidised cost will be taken by the Aus government which will result in a likely massive bill to the taxpayer!

Or you can just improve your diet and lifestyle… for free!
 
In summary

Weight gain and diabetes are metabolic diseases which always have root causes and other environmental/epigenetic factors driving their development and progression. You CANNOT fix those root causes or factors with any medication! And medications ALWAYS cause side effects, as additional or worse symptoms.

Unless you find and fix all the root causes and factors to weight gain or diabetes in YOU, you will not lose weight or reverse diabetes. Weight loss and reversing diabetes is easy, but only with a personalised, holistic, and root-cause based treatment plan.

Your body needs NUTRIENTS to function properly, and for your ongoing health. However, these medications cause a reduced appetite, slower digestion, increased and longer fullness, natural hormone disruption, all of which lead to starvation and many nutrient deficiencies. Starving yourself just to lose weight makes no sense, when it’s at the expense of your health. And because you haven’t fixed the causes of your weight gain or diabetes, you will have the same problems when you stop taking these medications.

Using GLP-1 medications, instead of addressing your root causes, is a very dangerous idea which will rob you of your long-term health. What is the point of losing weight if you won’t have your health to enjoy it?

Are these medications really worth the massive and serious side effects they cause? Of course they aren’t! Especially when there’s better, safer, and cheaper ways lose weight and improving your long-term health!

Sometimes the latest trend or the latest medication is NOT the best way to health.

A study finds the COVID-19 vaccines reduce life expectancy

9/12/2025

1 Comment

 
Picture
A published study from 2024 which I’ve only just come across has found a very disturbing and massive reduction in life expectancy in people who took the COVID-19 mandated vaccines.

In an Italian based study from 2024 on COVID vaccine effectiveness (Alessandria, Malatesta, Berrino & Donzelli, 2024), of a large population group (over 245,000 people), which included a 2-year follow-up, the authors found that there was an increased risk of all-cause mortality in those who had 1 or more COVID-19 vaccines compared to those who didn’t get the shots. For those who had just two shots, the increase in mortality, or more accurately in this study, the reduction of life expectancy was 37%.

Some sources are claiming that this means a reduction of approximately 30 years to someone’s life. This is based on the average life expectancy of Western populations is around 80 years of age, this means that a 37% decrease in life expectancy is approximately 30 years. But this reduction of life expectancy only applies from when someone had these COVID-19 vaccines. So a 50-year old person who only recently had their first shot, would normally expect to live to 80 years of age might instead live to 68.9 years of age (37% x 80-50 years), being a reduction of 11.1 years from the one COVID-19 vaccine. A younger person who had these shots, say a 30-year old, may have a reduction of life expectancy of 18.5 years, being 37% of 80-30 years, hence living to just 61.5 years. Of course there are a lot of other factors involved in reality!

With the huge number or percentage of people who had these shots, this is a massive and tragic loss of life, and with huge effects on families and friends, and their health, businesses, and more.
These findings seem to be confirmed in other statistics, such as of excess deaths in many countries, including in Australia (ABS, 2023; Bergman, 2025).

The main issue of the COVID-19 vaccines is the spike protein, which is the infective and damaging part of the coronavirus and in the shots too. With the shots, there’s a continuous production of huge numbers of the spike proteins in the body, and there’s no off-switch. I wrote other articles on this topic here -
www.rosswalter.com.au/articles/spike-proteins-from-covid-19-vaccines-are-damaging-your-health
and here:
www.rosswalter.com.au/articles/spike-protein-detoxification-part-1

It’s the continuous production of the damaging spike protein which causes chronic inflammation, oxidative damage, reduced immune system function, and damage to the heart and blood vessels, liver, kidneys, thyroid, brain and reproductive organs, which is causing many chronic health issues and early deaths.

But it’s not the end of the world. There are things which can be done to reduce the spike proteins, reduce the damage they cause, and reduce the risks of being a statistic such as being mentioned here. But that’s a whole new article which I will follow up on soon!

Stay healthy!

Does the polio vaccine cause more cases of polio?

9/12/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
World Polio Day!

Today, 24th October, is World Polio Day to raise awareness of this alleged infection, and the even more alleged importance to recognise the part that the polio vaccine played in the eradication of this infection from the planet.

Polio, according to the questionable World Hoax Organisation (WHO), is a highly infectious disease which attacks the nervous system to cause spinal and respiratory paralysis, and even death. The WHO claims that polio has existed since prehistoric times, without any evidence of this. The late 19th century and early 20th century saw outbreaks in parts of the world, with allegedly half a million people being paralysed or dead from polio as there was no treatment or cure.

Early polio vaccines were introduced in the 1950s, mainly the Salk and Sabin vaccines, being the names of the doctors/scientists who developed them.

In 1988, the WHO started an eradication program to rid the world of polio, and despite the claims of the WHO that polio was eradicated in the year 2000, there were then still 6 countries where polio infections were wild polio was still endemic, and still 4 countries in 2006. In 2021 there were only 2 cases of wild polio in the world, one each in Afghanistan and Pakistan (WHO, 2025). So polio actually wasn't really eradicated even as late as 2021! If polio were so infectious, surely there would be more than one case in a location?!

The WHO claims of polio being eradicated is based on the theory of “herd immunity”, that if enough people get a vaccine, or a certain percentage of people is reached, the vaccinated “herd” can protect the rest of the unvaccinated herd who haven’t got or can’t get the vaccine. And we all saw another example of this herd immunity belief with the more recent C@VID-19 plandemic. And so many of us saw through the propaganda too.

The ”herd immunity” concept came about from studies in animals, and the concept ONLY works with on wild infections, where animals in a herd who survive the infection will develop antibodies to the infection which are transferred to their babies who were born later. The same concept happens in humans, but again only in wild infections. The vaccine based herd immunity concept has been stolen and misused as propaganda by the WHO and most doctors to this day, and is part of the foundation of “modern medicine” and pharmaceuticals. As such, these so-called health experts see most or all bacteria and microbes as “bad” and must be destroyed. If people really knew that the herd immunity concept is not real when it comes to vaccinations, the whole medical paradigm and pharmaceutical industry would collapse.

There are a number of reasons why herd immunity doesn’t work with vaccinations:

1. Many vaccines such as those for chicken pox, measles, yellow fever, tetanus, rotavirus, typhoid, shingles, and Japanese encephalitis, rabies, and past polio vaccines contain LIVE (but weakened) pathogens, and they have been shown in studies to become activated again in human tissue, to cause the actual infection that people are allegedly been vaccinated against (HHS, 2025)

2. All vaccines bypass normal immune system barriers and immune system functions, by being injected directly into body tissues, and as a result, the antibodies produced only last a short time, such as a few months to a few years at the most. Hence why “boosters” are often recommended, as the alleged protection wanes. We’ve seen this in the more recent C@VID-19 vaccines, that in published studies and in the general population, the protection only lasts a few weeks or months, and why these vaccines have the highest number of recommended “boosters” of any vaccine!

3. Live virus vaccines, and the C@VID-19 vaccine spike proteins, are known to shed in body fluids such as saliva, faeces, sweat, and breath, to infect other people around them! So the vaccines actually propagate the infection and cause more cases.

So the WHO can dream on about their propaganda of having eliminated polio through vaccinations, because it’s not really possible. And their information on their own website proves this.

Did you know that the polio vaccine is the single greatest cause of polio, even today?

The WHO regularly publishes press releases on their website on polio outbreaks. Almost all polio outbreaks, despite their alleged eradication of polio in 2000 (including in Australia (Australian Government, 2025)), are "vaccine-derived polio outbreaks"! The WHO says so on their website! In other words, polio outbreaks today are caused by their own polio vaccine programs.

Just in the last few years, the WHO have announced on their website such vaccine-caused polio outbreaks in Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Congo, Nigeria, Mozambique, Niger, Cameroon, Angola, Central African Republic, Somalia, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Togo, Tajikistan, Iran, Pakistan, PNG, Philippines, Malaysia, and other countries (WHO, 2021). That's about 29 countries with vaccine-caused polio outbreaks since 2017... But you don't hear this in the news or on the WHO’s social media channels on World Polio Day! Here's proof, from their own website - www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/circulating-vaccine-derived-poliovirus-type-2-global-update

If polio has allegedly been eradicated, according to the WHO, why do we need an awareness day? Or why are we still being told we need the polio vaccines, if it’s been eradicated?

If polio is still around today, and being CAUSED by vaccinations, then why are we still using them?
Because if people really knew this information, people would stop taking them, and the whole medical house of cards will collapse…

I have a lot more information and studies on this topic, that I could write a book! But this is enough for World Polio Day – perhaps instead of the propaganda of the day, it instead should be a reminder of the misdeeds, misinformation and lies we’ve been told for decades on this topic.

Stay healthy!

Psoriasis can be treated easily and quickly, naturally!

9/12/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today, 29th October, is World Psoriasis Day, to raise awareness and funds, to the alleged 125 million people worldwide with this serious, uncomfortable or painful, disabling, and very obvious skin condition.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition which shows as large, thick, scaly and usually silver-coloured lesions which can be found on almost any part of the body. The skin patches can more often be found on certain parts of the body such as the elbows and knees, scalp and neck, but certainly not limited to these areas. The scaly lesions continuously flake off onto clothes or the environment, leading to a social stigma of being “infected”, which can have a huge impact on someone’s social activities or even discrimination, and even mental health. The condition is deemed as an autoimmune condition, as the immune system is attacking the body’s healthy tissue in the skin.

Psoriasis is also associated with a number of comorbidities or other serious conditions, which a person with psoriasis can have too, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, and mental health symptoms. The longer someone has psoriasis, the greater the risks of these serious additional health issues.

The many Psoriasis awareness groups and charity organisations (IFPA, 2025) typically say that the condition is a life-long disease which cannot be cured, which is 100% wrong! They say this because the usual medical “treatments” are medications and topical creams. These alleged “treatments” are only symptom relief, to reduce the psoriasis symptoms, and include oral immune system suppressants such as corticosteroids, anti-inflammatories or even toxic chemotherapy medications to reduce the autoimmune or immune system activity, or topical corticosteroid creams and/or moisturisers to reduce the redness or dryness of the skin and prevent the skin flaking and itching. Some of these medications can have very serious complications, including of weight gain, and even cancer, due to the suppression of the immune system.

Doctors and even dermatologists only try to treat the symptoms of conditions, hence these are the only recommended treatments you will be offered for psoriasis. They don’t find or address the root causes of the psoriasis!

As a Clinical Nutritionist and Naturopath, I have experience in completely reversing psoriasis, by finding and treating all the root causes of the skin issues, and other symptoms, in each person! I take time to investigate a person’s diet and lifestyle to find what might be causing or contributing to the symptoms, as well as analysing blood pathology results which can find nutrient deficiencies and other factors such as anaemia, low thyroid function, liver issues, and more which can affect skin repair and healing. There are ALWAYS root causes to skin conditions like psoriasis, and they can be a different combination of causes and factors in each person.

Our skin turns over very quickly, and in a healthy person, any skin injury or wound will typically heal and disappear in a week or so. If there’s a skin issue which isn’t healing, or getting worse or larger, then there must be something which is affecting the skin repair processes. I find these root causes and factors, and I address or treat them in each person, and I typically see amazing improvements in skin symptoms within weeks! An additional benefit of this approach is that any comorbidities someone has with psoriasis will also reduce and improve, as I find they have the same root causes as the skin issues!

With a holistic and personalised, root-cause based approach, psoriasis CAN be reduced, reversed, and even cleared! This is what I can do to help, if you have psoriasis or similar skin conditions, or know anyone who does.

How ironic is it that Diabetes Awareness Month follows from the sugar-fest of halloween?!

9/12/2025

November is Diabetes Awareness Month! This is to raise awareness (and money) to this chronic disease which is still being diagnosed in epidemic numbers around the world, despite all previous awareness days and months and fund-raising for alleged research and treatments.

I find it very amusing and ironic that ONE day after the absolute sugar-fest that is Halloween (or Hell-o-ween?!) on October 31st, with the ridiculous amount of unhealthy treats given out for this alleged tradition, there’s a whole MONTH of diabetes “awareness” which follows! But I’m sure this amusement and irony is lost on so many people.

Diabetes, and especially Type 2 Diabetes, is completely preventable and reversible, despite the advice of the diabetes organisations and charities. An example, from the American Diabetes Association, which claims that Type 2 Diabetes is a problem when your body does not use insulin properly. As such, their recommended “treatments” are focussed on using medications and insulin to treat the symptoms of diabetes, being the high blood glucose levels. They simply do not acknowledge or look at treating the root causes of Diabetes! They also do not really even understand the condition IMHO!

Diabetes Australia claims that Diabetes is again due to poor insulin production, and that there is no cure for Type 2 Diabetes, with mainly a genetic cause as it runs in families even there’s been no known genetic cause found! No, the insulin issues of Diabetes are due to a poor diet of too many carbohydrates (sugary foods and drinks, grain based foods, fruit, and alcohol). A high carbohydrate diet causes higher insulin production, and over time can wear out the pancreas (the organ which produces insulin), leading to higher and higher blood glucose levels, which leads to diabetes, and its other issues of chronic inflammation and oxidative damage, high blood pressure and heart issues, obesity, and other health issues.

People within families tend to eat the same cr@ppy foods and have the same cr@ppy lifestyle, which can be common causes and risk factors for diabetes. So what may appear to be genetic is not at all!
Diabetes Australia recommends eating lots of carbohydrates (!) and less fat to control your diabetes, which is completely the opposite of what you should do! Healthy fats in foods will better balance your blood sugar and energy levels, prevent sugar cravings, and cause absolutely NO insulin response from the pancreas!

Similar to other chronic health conditions I’ve seen in clinical practice, there is no one root cause to Type 2 Diabetes. While a high carb diet IS a major root cause to Diabetes, there are always other root causes and contributing factors too, which can be different in each person. Unless all the root causes to Diabetes in each person are identified and treated, the Diabetes can’t be reduced or reversed.
It's about time that the diabetes organisations in Australia and around the world started advising the public based on 21st century scientific advice on diabetes prevention and treatment, and not 1960s garbage science that they still promote. This is about peoples' lives and that of their families, and not about maintaining profits for the diabetes organisations and the food companies they are in bed with.

We also need to better educate our children in good nutrition, and set good examples as adults too. This includes boycotting stupid and unhealthy traditions like Halloween and its dangerous sugar-fest. It’s not just about a one treat day per year, as those unhealthy treats often last days or weeks, and children are exposed to these multiple times per year, or very regularly in many cases. And we wonder why Diabetes hasn’t gone away…

Because I focus on finding all the root causes and factors contributing to Diabetes in each person, I get very quick and long-lasting results! If you or someone you know has Diabetes, or even pre-diabetes, I’d be happy to help stop further progression, and start to reverse this and get you back to health again!

Let's end diabetes by addressing its root causes!

9/12/2025

Further to my previous post with November being Diabetes Awareness month, the 14th November is apparently World Diabetes Day, to raise awareness of the condition of diabetes, and to get more funding for the diabetes associations for research into this condition.

Why? When we already know what causes the main form of diabetes (being Type 2), and how to reverse it! (Type 1 symptoms and effects can be greatly reduced and insulin requirements reduced).

​Type 2 Diabetes is a metabolic condition where blood sugar levels are constantly high due to dysfunctional hormones such as insulin, leptin, glucagon, and ghrelin and others. The body no longer responds correctly to these hormones. High blood glucose is very inflammatory and damaging to the body, especially to the blood vessels (causing atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, skin ulcers and loss of blood supply to lower extremities, poor wound healing), damaging the nerves (causing loss of sensitivity and feeling in extremities), eye conditions, kidney damage, liver damage and more.

These are factors and the result of Diabetes, but not the cause of the condition. So what does cause Diabetes?

There is no single cause to Diabetes, but a combination of factors, which can be a different combination in each person.

Some of the possible root causes and factors in Diabetes include the following:

- High carbohydrate diet, causing consistently high blood sugar levels
- Insulin resistance, as a result of the chronic high blood sugar levels
- Low protein and low fat diets, because you’re eating too many carbs
- Many vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which are needed to make insulin or other hormones for regulating blood sugar levels
- Low salt diets, causes insulin resistance
- Poor lifestyle, typically a sedentary one, so you don’t use the blood sugar for physical activity
- Poor sleep quantity and quality
- Poor sun exposure, low vitamin D, and/or excess exposure to artificial lighting
- Heavy metals toxicity
- High chronic inflammation and oxidative damage, from a number of causes and sources, especially causing damage to the pancreas, to reduce insulin production and secretion
- Low thyroid function
- And more!

But diabetics are usually just told to eat less fats and more of the very thing which causes high blood sugar - carbs! Why? Because the diabetes associations around the world are sponsored by food industry companies, such as grain companies, cereal producers, and other packaged and processed foods, to maintain their profits. The same food industry companies also sponsor the dietitians' associations around the world, so those associations will promote their products. In some countries, such as in Australia, the Dietitians Association of Australia actually wrote the government food guidelines, again favouring food industry companies' products. This is why these mostly high carb foods are promoted for everyone, and especially for diabetics. Such advice will make your health worse.

I have reversed type 2 diabetes in people who have had the condition for years, often in a few weeks! In some, their fasting blood sugar readings dropped into the normal range within a few days! All because of getting the right scientifically proven nutrition advice and some lifestyle changes, in an easy to follow treatment plan.

If you have diabetes or someone you know does and hasn't been able to improve their symptoms in a few weeks, then I would love to help! Type 2 Diabetes is completely reversible! But it needs to be treated by someone who understands the condition and who focuses on all the root causes in each person, and not by someone who wants to just "manage" the symptoms. Make a decision to reverse type 2 diabetes today, and improve your quality of life!

Stay healthy!

Don't let low cholesterol become a major health issue!

9/12/2025

Cholesterol Awareness Week runs from 24th to 30th November each year! This is promoted by various organisations who think they are helping people to reduce heart disease, but they are actually making peoples’ health much worse!

Ever since a ridiculous, biased and corrupt study on cholesterol and heart disease was published back in 1978 by Ancel Keys, we’ve been lied to about cholesterol, and doctors and alleged health organisations are still believing these lies and telling the public these same lies. Ancel Keys published a study called the “7 countries” study which allegedly showed that saturated fats and cholesterol caused heart disease. Many studies before then had proven otherwise, and many quality studies since then have also not proven his theory at all either.

The trouble was that Keys was an epidemiologist, a scientist who uses statistical data to come to some conclusion or theory. Epidemiological studies are very low down the list of the quality of scientific studies, because they are open to false information, bias, incorrect interpretation and poor results. Epidemiological studies also cannot ever prove that something causes anything. They can only suggest a “link” or “association” between two things. When you hear on the news or see in articles some new study suggesting a “link” or “association” of something causing some health issue, it’s based on an epidemiological study, and you really should ignore it! Such studies can conclude something like “eating vegemite regularly is linked to shark attacks”! Australians will eat a lot of vegemite, and as we are “girt by sea” we have a lot of beaches, swimming in the surf, and lots of sharks. So of course in a questionnaire-based “study”, it may be found that people who eat vegemite have a higher risk of shark attacks, but there’s no way ever that vegemite CAUSED the shark attack! This is an example of the ridiculousness of epidemiological studies, and why they should be ignored!
Also, Keys actually researched the health data of 22 countries, but he only used the data in his study from 7 countries as only those fit his pre-conceived and biased theory! When all the data from the 22 countries was examined, there was no link of cholesterol with heart disease at all!

Keys also had other problems with his study:

1. He didn’t differentiate saturated fat from trans-fat or margarine, as he thought they were the same, when they are not!
2. Many epidemiological or clinical trial studies since then have failed to validate his theory
3. He only studied middle-aged men. No women or children were studied at all, so this is not a good representation of the wider public.

Sadly 50 years later, most of the public and even many doctors and cardiologists still believe the lies and corruption from the Keys study. And heart organisations like Heart Support Australia, who are actively promoting “Cholesterol Awareness Week” say on their website that “Don’t let cholesterol be your silent killer”!

Some real facts on cholesterol:

1. Cholesterol is only found in animal-based foods – meat, fish, eggs and dairy. These are healthy foods!
2. We can only eat 20% of our daily cholesterol requirements, so our liver makes the rest. If you are vegan, you don’t consume any cholesterol, so your liver will (try) to make all the cholesterol you need
3. Our bodies make cholesterol because it’s essential for life!
4. We need a LOT of cholesterol for our health!

Cholesterol is needed for:

1. Energy production, especially for the heart and muscles
2. Making vitamin D
3. Making our male and female hormones
4. Making our neurotransmitters, brain function, and myelin sheath insulation/protection on our nerves
5. Immune system function
6. For making many new cells each day, and their cell walls
7. And much more.

As a result, if your cholesterol levels are low, from low intake, low liver function, low thyroid function, or taking statin medications or other medications to lower your cholesterol, you will have the opposite effect on your health to the above benefits, and increase your risk of all-cause mortality, increase your risk of heart disease, and cause reduced brain function and chronic neurological conditions of Alzheimer’s Disease, and Dementia.

Many published clinical studies show that the higher your cholesterol is, especially as you get older, is protective of heart health, and REDUCES your risk or heart disease and all-cause mortality.

In a way, the Heart Support Australia slogan of “Don’t let cholesterol be your silent killer” is sort of correct in a negative way, or should instead read as “Don’t let LOW cholesterol be your silent killer”!

When you get blood tests done, make sure to always get your cholesterol and blood lipids test done! Even for children and younger adults, as it’s not for older people to check their cholesterol levels. But more importantly, you need to get your blood test results analysed by an IIFP (Institute for Integrative and Functional Pathology) trained practitioner, which I am! Only an IIFP practitioner can properly interpret your blood test results in a more holistic and nutritional way, based on good evidence. And not based on historic lies and non-science that is the cholesterol myth.

Stay healthy!

GLP-1 medications for diabetes or weight loss do not fix the causes of your weight gain

9/12/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
Recently (1st Dec 2025), the useless World Health/Hoax Organisation issued its first guidance on the new GLP-1 (semaglutide) class of medications (United Nations, 2025). These medications include Wegovy, Mounjaro and others prescribed for weight loss, or Ozempic prescribed for diabetes.

Ridiculously, the WHO says that increased weight and obesity is a chronic DISEASE, and not the result of lifestyle choices! They clearly don’t have a clue about health, weight gain or nutrition!

We’ve had nearly 50 years of a weight gain and obesity epidemic, despite the alleged “health” advice over that time from the WHO, government food guidelines, doctors, and dietitians, and we are actually having even higher levels of obesity and chronic health issues related to increased weight than ever before, such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and cancers. Probably because the diet advice was all wrong.

There are an incredible number of dangerous side effects for these medications, which I will expand on in another article soon. But in short, the side effects include digestive symptoms, muscle wasting (muscle loss), lower bone density, arthritis, suicidal ideation, and more (RACGP, 2025).

Unless the root causes of YOUR weight issues are found and fixed, treated or removed, no amount of dieting or exercise will help you to lose weight. Weight loss is actually very easy, with a personalised treatment plan. Standard weight loss plans, being the same for everyone, simply do not work!
Taking a medication for weight loss doesn’t work either! Medications don’t ever fix the root causes of your weight gain, and they always introduce new symptoms as side effects. And as soon as you stop taking the medication, all the weight will come back again, and you end up worse than before due to the side effects too.

Weight gain absolutely is the result of your choices of foods and lifestyle. Hence improving your diet and lifestyle can reverse the weight gain! This can be a much safer, and more sustainable way to achieve your healthy goal weight.

Stay healthy!

Spike protein detoxification (Part 1)

14/7/2025

1 Comment

 
Picture
From the mostly mandated CV-19 treatments or those who chose to get them, some of the main issues of these treatments, other than the lack of testing and their lack of effectiveness, is the massive list of ongoing side effects.

The objective of such shots is to simulate an infection in the body, to trigger an immune system response, so that the body produces antibodies for allegedly a quicker immune response on a subsequent exposure to the same pathogen, and potentially a quicker recovery compared to the first exposure.

What most people don't understand is that a synthetic stimulus isn't needed for an immune system response to occur to generate antibodies, as this is what our bodes have been doing naturally for millenia... Or that people don't understand that a synthetic immune system stimulus doesn't trigger the same long-term antibody response as a naturally-occurring infection. So the immune system awareness always wanes in a synthetic stimulated infection, and you need more and more synthetic shots, as we have seen over the past 3 years. Compared to a natural infection where antibodies almost always have life-long effects.

With the most recent shots, they work very differently to previous shots, to trick the body into producing large amounts of the "spike protein", being a similar protein to the actual virus protein, to trigger an immune system response. The major issue of these new type of shots is that... THERE IS NO OFF SWITCH. Oops.

Theoretically, the shots only needed to trigger spike protein production for 1 day to trigger an immune response. But this doesn't happen. If you've had the shots then you will keep producing the spike protein, which is the infective and damaging part of the pathogen, forever. This will be continually weakening your immune system, damaging your cells and tissues, and causing chronic inflammation and oxidative damage and their related symptoms, forever. Now you know why the rates of chronic diseases has gone through the roof since these shots, and a 15-20% increase in "excess deaths" in Australia and many other countries since then.

Some published scientific studies have proven that people who have had the mRNA shots are still producing the damaging spike protein 6-9 months afterwards. And these were in studies which only looked at 6-9 months afterwards. Longer studies will find the spike protein still being produced. This explains why so many people are still suffering from side effects after this time, or complaining about worsening immune system function (from more frequent infections), increased rates of cancers, increased rates of heart disease, and other chronic health conditions, and more.

The spike protein has been found in the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, ovaries, testicles and other vital organs at autopsy in cases of death after vaccination. In the case of vaccine-induced thrombotic injury (blood clots), the spike protein has been found within the blood clot itself.

The spike protein effects are not limited to causing micro blood clots or even large ones, but also sudden strokes, high blood pressure, low energy and fatigue (as the red blood cells are often aggregated together to reduce oxygen supply to cells), myocarditis and pericarditis, autoimmune conditions, neuropathy conditions, cognitive impairment (brain fog, poor memory etc), neurodegenerative conditions, circulation issues, cancers, and a lot more (Theoharides, 2022).

If you've been affected by the spike protein, either from the shots, or shedding from those around you, then this advice here is for you.

A very prominent doctor and scientist, Dr Peter McCullough, published a research study on how to detoxify from the spike protein (McCullough, Proctor & Wynn, 2023). Reducing the number of the spike proteins in your body, and their effects, CAN be done through a number of affects and natural substances. There is NOTHING in the medical toolbox which can do this.

More on this in Part 2 of this article.
