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:

Prepare the pancreas for insulin production and secretion following a meal high in carbs
Slows the stomach function
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:

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!)
Weight loss isn’t about willpower, but biology!
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):

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
Partial or complete and sudden blindness – by reducing blood and oxygen supply to the eyes
Heart and circulation issues of dizziness, fast heartbeat (tachycardia), and headaches
Increased infections from a reduced immune system function
Development of autoimmune and allergic reactions to the GLP-1 medications
Liver and gall bladder issues, abdominal bloating and pain
Thyroid cancer
Low blood sugar levels
Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
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
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
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
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?
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:

People with gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying), as the medications make this worse
Having inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, IBS, etc)
Having past history or family history of endocrine cancers or thyroid cancer
Having pancreatitis or a past history of this
Having severe kidney dysfunction
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)
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

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

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!

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

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

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.

Spike proteins from COVID-19 vaccines are damaging your health

1/3/2025

Several new studies are finding more effects of the spike protein vaccines on the health of people who have had these shots.

As I reported in an earlier article here, even if someone doesn’t get initial side effects from the CV vaccines, it doesn’t mean that they are ok or won’t get ongoing or later issues. The main issue with the mRNA type vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) or the GMO chimpanzee adenovirus vaccine (AstraZeneca) or others, is that they all trick your body and your cells to make the CV-19 spike protein to trigger an immune system response and to develop antibodies for protection against future exposures to this virus. This should also remind people that there’s another issue here, that these shots do not confer long-term or permanent antibodies or immunity, otherwise no-one who gets these shots should ever get COVID again, and we know that doesn’t happen! Vaccine-induced antibodies are short-lived and will wane and disappear, often as quickly as 1-2 months after the shot in some people. Hence why more and more “boosters” are being recommended.

But back to the main issue of all these CV-19 shots – that there is no “off” switch. People who have had these will continuously produce the spike proteins. Unfortunately the spike protein is not only the infective part of the coronavirus itself, but the most damaging part too. Hence it wasn’t the best protein to use for the vaccine antigen in hindsight. If your cells are continuously producing spike proteins, you will be affected by chronic inflammation, oxidative damage, and constant immune system triggers which damages and reduces the white blood cells (your immune system) and other effects, which leads to organ and cell damage, and reduced immune system function, which in turn causes increased predisposition to other infections and even cancers. This is why so many people now are finding they have thyroid conditions, low kidney function, liver damage and low function, infertility, heart disease, and increased mental health symptoms, and more cancers, because of the high inflammation and oxidative damage from the constant spike protein production.

I’ve also come across an article of 320 peer-reviewed and published studies showing that the spike protein used in the CV-19 shots are damaging (ie, pathogenic) to the body, and hence why these shots are causing so many side effects, and chronic symptoms and conditions. See the link in the References for more information on these studies (Wucher & Sass, 2024).

A recent study in pre-print (yet to be peer-reviewed) has found people who have had the CV-19 shots are still producing the spike proteins after 709 days (almost 2 years) after the last vaccination (Bhattacharjee et al., 2025). Other studies I have written about in the early days of these vaccines found people were still producing the spike proteins at 6 and 12 months later. As time goes on, there will likely be more long-term studies which find the spike proteins are still being produced over a longer period.

Other findings in this study include that 52% of people who had these shots had severe ongoing side effects, and 70% had some side effects within 10 days of vaccination. Also, high levels of exhausted white blood cell types, increased inflammation markers, and the general health of people who have had the shots was “far below” the general US population average, indicating a lower quality of life. The most frequent reported symptoms following these shot include excessive fatigue (85%), tingling and numbness (80%), exercise intolerance (80%), brain fog (77.5%), difficulty concentrating or focusing (72.5%), trouble falling or staying asleep (70%), neuropathy (70%), muscle aches (70%), anxiety (65%), tinnitus (60%) and burning sensations (57.5%).

Another peer-reviewed and published study has found that the spike protein can cross the placenta into an unborn foetus within ONE HOUR of the shot (Chen et al., 2025), and start to accumulate in foetal tissues in 4-6 hours. This was proven in mouse studies, as obviously we can’t use pregnant women in these studies, due to the huge potential risk to both the mother and baby. This is exactly why there is a scientific protocol and ethics boards who oversee these studies, to prevent pregnant women from being used in such studies. But we hear our doctors and so-called government health officials and advertising saying that these (and other) vaccines are safe for pregnant women! But there is no evidence of this safety AT ALL.

There ARE retrospective studies who have looked at pregnant women who went with their doctor’s advice and got the CV-19/mRNA shots, and these studies found that 92% of pregnant women had miscarriages as a result. I have previously posted on this with full references to studies and data showing this.

Always be informed and aware of what you put in or on your body, especially if you are pregnant (or planning on getting pregnant).

If you are having ongoing health issues from the continuous spike protein production, or have never been the same since these shots, there are ways to reduce the effects of the spike protein, and ways to even detoxify or remove them! This will need a personalised investigation and treatment plan, which is what I can do.

Stay healthy!

Documentary review: "Super size me 2: Holy chicken"!

1/3/2025

I've just come across the new food documentary of "Supersize me 2: Holy chicken", from Morgan Spurlock who produced the original food/health documentary called “Super size me” many years ago, where he lived on McDonalds meals 3 times a day and had doctors tracking his health before and during the documentary. The findings of this experiment were amazing and scary.

In this new documentary, he wants to open his own healthy fast food restaurant, based on chicken. He chose chicken because its lean (but we know that doesn't make it healthy!) and cheap (maybe not now with the chicken massacre going on due to the alleged bird flu infections).

It was interesting to see the decision-making process of deciding the chickens, the farming, meals and ingredients were more based on market trends and marketing terms, rather than being healthy.
The chosen chicken breed for meat is ready for the table in just 6 WEEKS, when not long ago it used to take 16-20 weeks. The poultry growers claim that growth hormones in chick is a myth... I'm not so sure about that in some countries. The chickens were growing so fast that they had bald patches, because their feather growth couldn't keep up with their incredibly fast growth rate. At 6 weeks old the chickens were 6 lb (2.7 kilos), and even when younger, the chickens could barely stand up to support their bodyweight. They spent most of their time sitting down and not moving around. The high growth rate caused many of the mega-chickens to die from heart disease and heart attacks. That's what happens to us humans too from a too-high carb diet. But the farmer growing his chickens said if they weren't dying from heart attacks, he would know they were not growing fast enough, so it was a good thing.

A vet performed an autopsy on some of the dead birds at 6 weeks old, and found necrosis in the hip joint, which he said was very common in these fast growing birds. He also found brittle bones, bent bones due to high body weight, and heart failure.

The US National Chicken Council, the "Big Chicken" lobby group of the industry, was described by one farmer in the documentary as being "a large mafia", as the organisation controls every aspect of the industry, from the breed, incubating the eggs, supplying hatchlings, feed, medications, and even encourages competition amongst growers to produce the biggest and best birds, for a reward of increased payments over other chicken farmers. And the farmers have no say in anything. If a farmer speaks out, the industry can make it impossible for them to make a profit to drive the farmer out of the system. An informer from the organisation explained that expensive upgrades to the chicken farms were forced onto the farmers, to keep them in debt and to have control over them.

Morgan wanted to market his chickens as "free range". The USDA (US Department of Agriculture) definition of "free-range" chicken means that the chickens are ALLOWED to have 51% access to daytime outside their sheds, but the chickens don't actually have to go outside. So he built a small 1 meter radius semicircle arc of a fence in the doorway of his massive shed, which could potentially allow a couple of his thousands of chickens to venture outside, but they didn't. But he could still call the meat as "free-range".

Another misleading term used in chickens is "cage-free", but chickens grown for meat in the US have never been raised in cages (unlike chickens that are produced for their eggs, where cages are very common). Another misleading term is "humanely raised", for which there are no guidelines as to what this actually means!

Marketing of foods in the documentary was also interesting, in using specific terms to make the foods or meals appear healthier when they are not. After coming up with some sample chicken "sandwiches" (actually a burger!) Morgan asked his marketing consultants "how healthy is a sandwich?", and everyone laughed...

He wanted to use the term "organic" to market his chicken in meals, but the chicken feed wasn't organic. It was mostly based on grains with corn then soy meal as the main ingredients, but also included pork meat and a massive shopping list of other ingredients including mould (Aspergillis) and a heap of anti-parasitic and anti-bacterial ingredients (oregano oil, garlic oil, clove oil and more), which actually cause dysbiosis (an imbalance of the gut microbiome) and this actually helps them put on more weight!

So since he can't call his chickens organic, he tried "all natural" instead, but an expert says that this is the most misleading claim in meat products. Consumers seem to think that "all natural" is similar to or is the same as "organic" in its meaning. It has nothing to do with what the animals are fed or their growing environment or whether they are given medications or antibiotics. According to the USDA, "all natural" means "minimally processed" and "no artificial ingredients" These guidelines only need to be applied AFTER the animal is killed.

In the US, poultry cannot be given hormones to make them grow faster, but producers still make the claim in their marketing or labelling that the chicken is "hormone-free".

So he can (and did) call his chicken meat products as "free range, cage-free, no hormones added, humanely-raised, 100% natural", and this could get the USDA's seal of approval! And Morgan quoted "that's some pretty good bullsh1t right there!". And the USDA don't have a budget to test or check anything, so they just rubber stamp everything.

The majority of the documentary was to highlight the ridiculousness of the wording used in the production and marketing of fast food products, and how marketing consultants can make up things to make food appear better or healthier, when they really aren't. And such companies get away with it, and people buy the BS. There was nothing in the documentary about the actual nutrition of these foods, or how they affect your health. With all this BS marketing, people think they can eat anything they want. And food companies use these techniques of human behaviour to suck you in and to increase their sales.

Morgan interviewed a professor of nutrition and he asked "what if there was a company who was completely honest with their customers?", to which she looked confused and said "why would they want to do that"!

Hilariously, Morgan used a lot of honest statements about the chickens and the industry in his marketing in the new restaurant including:

"Holy chicken (the name of the restaurant) too good to be true"
A "better for you, sounds great - means nothing" sticker on the burger/sandwich wrapper to hold it together
"Holy chickens are so awesome, they can hardly stand it", referring to how fat the chickens are that they can barely stand up
Having a sign in the restaurant showing how small the outdoor space needed to be for thousands of chickens to call them "free range"
Signs explaining that they use green paint and wood in the restaurant to give the impression of nature and healthy food
"No added asbestos or plutonium" signs on the wall!
And "We never use the F-word" referring to "fried" and why they use the word "crispy" instead, so people think the food is healthier, even though the chicken IS fried!
They point out all the w@nky marketing terms of "fresh", "artisanal", "green", "local", "all natural" and more, mean nothing but are used to trick people
And signs on the tables that explain the black horizontal "grill" marks on the chicken are actually PAINTED on (which much of the industry does), to give the impression of grilled chicken having more flavour, when the chicken is actually fried.

Morgan is at least very open and honest about everything, no doubt to the disgust of the "big chicken" industry. And the customers are shocked but loving his message. 4 days after opening the restaurant, several investors called him to want to franchise the brand all across the US! But it was just a short-term venture to get the message out to the public about the chicken industry and to make the documentary.

And the chicken farmers started lawsuits against the "big chicken" companies.

I recommend to watch the full "Super size me 2: Holy Chicken" documentary on your favourite streaming channel.

The trouble with ADHD medications

2/9/2024

In the typical medical treatment plan for ADHD is behavioural therapy and/or medications such as Methylphenidate (Ritalin), Dexamphetamine (Adderall) and Lisdexamphetamine (Vyvanse and Elvanse) to be taken forever.

However, medications may only offer symptom relief, but they do not address the root causes of the symptoms. But they also introduce new symptoms as side effects.
Some interesting findings about Methylphenidate/Ritalin, from the manufacturer's own research/information:

The method of action for Ritalin is unknown, according to the manufacturer! (but is assumed to be from an inhibition of dopamine and norepinephrine neurotransmitter reuptake)
“Safety and efficacy have not been established in children younger than 6yo” is a direct quote, yet many young children are prescribed this medication
“There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding”
There are lots of food and medication interactions with Ritalin, including alcohol and tobacco
Ritalin contains lactose, sugars, milk products, talc, iron oxide colours, lactitol, gluten and sulphur dioxide - all ingredients which are known to exacerbate ADHD symptoms
The manufacturer recommends that this medication should be stopped during low-stress times
If symptoms don’t improve over one month, the drug should be stopped according to the manufacturer
The medication is not tested for effects on fertility, however it is not recommended for women of childbearing age, or during pregnancy, or breastfeeding, yet it is still prescribed and taken by many women in this age group
Ritalin can cause nutrient deficiencies of vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and probably more. All of these vitamin deficiencies can cause ADHD or make symptoms worse
Many side effects of taking Ritalin are also contraindications which prevent it from being taken, including high blood pressure, heart and circulation issues, depression, anxiety, psychosis
Other side effects of concern include vision issues, suicidal thoughts and ideation, neuropathy (nerve damage/pain), hallucinations, weight gain, growth retardation in children, increased heat stress risk in athletes, and sudden death
Ritalin contains sucralose, an artificial sweetener, which can make symptoms worse, and is also known to cause cancers.

With these risks and side effects, there MUST be another way to treat ADHD. There is, by finding all the root causes in each person.

There is a high tendency of ADHD to run in families, but this doesn't mean that it's inherited. If people in a family eat the same crappy foods, have the same poor lifestyle, have the same stresses and poor stress responses, and exposed to the same toxins and chemicals, then it can appear to be an inherited condition. Inherited conditions often also need environmental triggers like chronic stress or trauma, nutrient deficiencies, toxins and chemicals, and other factors.

This is what I do for ADHD - thorough investigations to find all the root causes in each person, then develop a personalised treatment plan to fix the root causes. This gives quick symptom relief, as well as long-term resolution too!

There are much better ways to reduce ADHD symptoms and improve quality of life!

Anaemia, hypoxia and low iron are risk factors for many chronic diseases and symptoms

7/5/2023

Anaemia is a very common issue in many people, but its causes are often ignored or misunderstood and its risks are understated, as unknown or untreated anaemia can be a cause of many signs and symptoms, including some serious ones, including:

Low energy and fatigue
Shortness of breath
Cold and/or pale hands and feet
Headaches and migraines
Weight gain
Mental health symptoms and conditions - anxiety, depression, and neurological conditions
Poor healing of wounds, or other skin conditions
Dizziness, fainting, and brain fog
Heart conditions - angina, tachycardia (high pulse rate), hypertension (high blood pressure)
And even cancers.

If you have any of these symptoms or conditions, you should get some blood tests done and analysed properly to see if there is anaemia contributing to this. More on testing later.

There are many types of anaemia, but "anaemia" is defined as having low red blood cell count and/or low haemoglobin levels in blood tests. Iron deficiency anaemia is very common in my clients, but it's often not being tested or identified or treated properly.

Iron is needed, amongst other things, to make haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in the red blood cells. If there's not enough iron, haemoglobin production and red blood cell production and function will be affected, causing poor circulation, reduced oxygen supply to the cells and tissues, reduced function of all cells, reduced energy (as oxygen is needed for energy production), and other symptoms of muscle aches and pains, headaches and migraines, heart pains, higher heart/pulse rate (as the heart compensates for the lower oxygen supply), higher blood pressure, poor stamina, brain fog and confusion, fainting and dizziness, shortness of breath, pallor (pale skin), and more.

The low oxygen level and poor circulation causes hypoxia, being low levels of oxygen in the body tissues. Other than with the above symptoms, hypoxia can be tested either with your doctor or other health practitioner with a "pulse oximeter" and confirmed with blood tests too. However, start with blood tests if you have any of the above symptoms, as a lower oxygen saturation level from a pulse oximeter can be slower to see the effects of the low iron and low haemoglobin levels.

If an iron deficiency anaemia is found, treating this with an iron supplement or even iron infusion in severe cases, may give some symptom relief, but doesn't fix the problem or its causes. There are risks and side effects to many iron supplements and even from an iron infusion.

Just taking iron supplements to improve haemoglobin or red blood cell levels isn't the answer to hypoxia. There are multiple root causes of low iron levels, anaemia and hypoxia, which all need to be checked and confirmed or ruled out, before implementing a plan to fix the causes of the low iron and low circulation and low oxygen levels. However, you need to get your blood test results interpreted properly from an IIFP trained practitioner (via the Institute for Integrative and Functional Pathology) and not your GP. This link explains why and what you can do about getting a more holistic analysis of your blood test results:

www.pathologyanalysis.com

Finding and treating the hypoxia and iron deficiency anaemia isn't difficult and doesn't take too long! And people with chronic iron deficiency anaemia and hypoxia will start to feel improvements and reduction of symptoms quite quickly!

When the level of red blood cells and haemoglobin increase, there will be improved circulation and oxygen supply to cells and tissues, and many symptoms will reduce and you will feel a lot better! This can prevent the more serious complications of chronic anaemia listed above.

The alkaline diet is a myth and can make your health worse

28/4/2023

You might have heard of the alkaline diet? It seems to be one of the nutrition and health trends over the past 10+ years, mainly through social media articles and so-called nutrition gurus. But is it really good for you and your health?

You might be a bit shocked at this info... but the only person who seems to have benefited from the alkaline diet is the author of the book who created this controversial advice. Dr Robert Young wrote a book on the alkaline diet, called The pH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health, in 2002. It quickly became a bestseller and made him lots of money, mainly as it was completely new and wasn't something that people had been told before.

But it was mostly BS. And his advice and recommendations caused a lot of harm to a lot of people.
Young's work and treatments provided at his US-based ranch, were based on the theory that acidity in the body is the cause of disease, and that an alkaline diet is the answer (Financial Review, 2018). But the acidity/alkaline theory was only based on misinformation and misunderstandings of previous studies.

If like me, you frequently see health related social media posts saying that you should eat alkaline foods or drink alkalised water (such as baking soda drinks), or to alkalise your body to improve your health, or even prevent cancer, because (allegedly) cancer cannot survive in an alkaline body... ignore them! These posts are completely wrong!

If you actually follow or implement those ideas, then please read this and consider the real facts, because you may actually be doing your body and your health more harm than good. Sorry...

The facts are:

- acidity or alkalinity is measured on the pH scale from 0 (highly acidic) to 7 (neutral) to 14 (highly basic or alkaline)

- your body has different pH in different fluids and organs for good reasons

- your body only works well within a small pH range for that particular organ or fluid, for example, blood pH should be within 7.35 and 7.45; a very small range, outside of which YOU DIE

- your saliva or urine pH (from test strips etc) bears no resemblance of what is going on in the rest of your body

- various areas of the body MUST be acidic, to repel bacteria, virus, parasite and yeast infections, such as on your skin and in your stomach and gastrointestinal, urinary and reproductive tracts. These microbes actually LIKE an alkaline environment and thrive in it!

- the stomach being highly acidic will digest foods into their smaller components, which are no longer acidic or alkaline... Hence the foods you eat do NOTHING to either acidify or alkalise your body

- your body has 5 pH buffering (ie, balancing) systems to keep various organs of fluids within the small pH range necessary for optimal function. Consuming too much acidic foods or drinks will simply be balanced out with production of more alkaline compounds and increased excretion of the acids! Or the opposite - if consuming just alkaline foods, this will be countered by the body making more acid compounds to bring the organ or tissues into correct balance again!

- there is the public perception that cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment, and therefore why we need to eat and drink more alkaline products and avoid acidic foods. The real fact is that cancer cells have a disordered metabolism and only produce energy via a process called glycolysis, from which a major by-product is lactate, also called lactic ACID! Hence it is the cancer cells producing the acidic environment, NOT the acidic environment causing the cancer...

Then there's my (least) favourite social media health advice of recommending drinking alkalised water with bicarbonate (baking soda) to prevent disease and cancer! This comes from old research from an Italian cancer Doctor Tullio Simoncini who produced research that he killed cancer cells with alkaline baking soda. HOWEVER, he INJECTED baking soda into tumours, and found this killed cancer cells. BUT it isn't actually the alkalinity which kills the cancer cells, but by the "osmotic shift" in fluid from within the cancer cells into the higher alkaline fluid injected into the tumour. The cancer cells became damaged, then dehydrated and died as a result.

Unfortunately people have just taken the "baking soda kills cancer cells" headline and run off with the idea that baking soda and alkalinity can be taken in any form as a cheap and simple cancer prevention or treatment! Nothing could be further from the truth.

Drinking baking soda water will hit your stomach and neutralise some of the stomach acid! This will reduce the effectiveness of the acidic stomach to kill bacteria and viruses and other pathogens (leading to more infections), AND reduce the amount of digestion of foods that the stomach can break down, which in turn means a reduced absorption of digested nutrients which your body really needs, and in turn your entire body and health will suffer. Your stomach needs to be highly acidic in order to properly break down carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins B9 (folate), B12, iron, and to release many minerals which you can then absorb and use. If you don't have enough acidity in your stomach, you won't absorb these nutrients and your health will suffer.

Alkaline foods can be very healthy, but so can acidic foods (tomatoes, citrus, pineapple, and many others). Just because some foods are acidic doesn't mean they are bad, and similarly, just because some foods are alkaline doesn't mean they are healthy! To be healthy, you need to eat a variety of foods, and not restrict your intake based on an incorrect assumption or misinterpretation of a story based on a food's pH level!

Anyway, back to Dr Young... He was recently ordered to pay US$105 MILLION (AUD$146 Million) in damages to just one of his clients, for misrepresenting himself as a medical doctor (which he isn't!), having fraudulent PhD qualifications from a unaccredited institution, recommending a client to stop their medical treatment for cancer to instead do his alkaline treatments which didn't work and the person's cancer progressed to Stage 4 (Financial Review, 2018). As well as the massive fine, he was disqualified from practicing, forced to admit publicly that he isn't a medical doctor or a scientist, and sentenced to several months in jail.

The alkaline diet is a hoax, non-scientific, and completely ridiculous. At best it is useless, but could be quite dangerous for your health.

Stay balanced, and healthy!

Fibre for constipation is a myth & CAN MAKE SYMPTOMS WORSE

28/4/2023

Fibre for gut health is a myth, and constipation is not treated from eating more fibre.

There is a general consensus amongst health and medical professionals and the general public that we need "fibre" for our gut health, for our gut microbiome, to reduce or prevent constipation, and for our overall health.

Science is not about having a "consensus" or general agreement of a percentage of people, but of finding the truth.

There is a similar belief that constipation is caused by a lack of fibre, or that consuming MORE fibre will relieve constipation. Nothing could be further from the truth...

Firstly, the definition of constipation is: "Constipation is a condition in which you may have fewer than three bowel movements a week; stools that are hard, dry, or lumpy; stools that are difficult or painful to pass; or a feeling that not all stool has passed" (NIH, 2023).

And the definition of fibre: "Fibre is found in the indigestible parts of cereals, fruits and vegetables, which pass relatively unchanged through our stomach and intestines." (Better Health Channel, 2023). "Fibre" is just cellulose, which humans cannot digest or use.

As a Clinical Nutritionist and Naturopath, my goal for each client is to find all of the root causes of all of their conditions and symptoms. I know that all of their symptoms and conditions are caused by the same few root causes. I also know that Doctors don't think or work this way, and neither do most other health practitioners.

Constipation has many possible causes, and in one person, they can (and usually do) have multiple causes for this symptom. Constipation can be caused by:

Nerve issues, especially of the vagus nerve and its enteric nervous system which controls the digestive tract. These nerve issues can be from poor nerve conduction, or nerve damage
Poor stomach function. If the stomach isn't digesting your foods well, from a lack of acid and enzymes, then you can end up with constipation
Low thyroid function. The thyroid gland controls your metabolic rate and function of every cell and organ, hence a low functioning thyroid will cause low functioning digestive system and therefore constipation
Nutrient deficiencies. Many nutrients are needed by the body and the digestive system to work properly. Contrary to popular belief, constipation is not usually caused by a lack of magnesium, or that constipation is fixed by taking magnesium
Low water intake. Water is not only needed for stomach function but also for digesting foods, motility of the digested foods through the digestive system, and metabolism of nutrients. Low water intake will affect stomach function and cause constipation
Medications. Many medications interfere with normal metabolic functions to cause constipation. Ironically, long-term use of laxative medications (prescribed FOR constipation) can cause constipation as a side effect
Stress. Stress causes many physiological, biochemical and hormone changes, which can slow down digestive functions to cause constipation
Lack of physical activity. Exercise can stimulate digestive system function, or inactivity or a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to constipation
Dysbiosis. An imbalance of your digestive microbiome, which is actually caused from your dietary choices and the result of how well your stomach is working...
Lack of bile salts. From poor liver and gall bladder function
Too many meals per day.
Other causes.

Eating extra fibre will NOT fix constipation for any of these causes of constipation! In fact, I guarantee that eating more fibre will slow down digestive motility and CAUSE or worsen constipation. I've certainly noticed this myself.

"But, but, but... what about the gut microbiome?", I hear you say! The gut microbiome changes with each meal, based on the foods you eat, and how well your stomach is working too. The wider your food variety, and a well-functioning stomach, the better for your gut microbiome. Yes the gut microbiome can use or digest some fibre from our foods, but they are not essential nutrients.

The microbiome is not just in your digestive tract. You have trillions of microbiome on your skin, in various other tracts (reproductive, urinary, respiratory, oral cavity, and more), and in various organs and tissues too. What about the microbiome on or in these areas? Where do they get their fibre from?! They don't. They don't need it.

I've previously been concerned with people who take on a carnivore diet, about their lack of fibre and digestive issues. I've tried this for months and had no issues with constipation at all.

But don't take my word for it - it's in many studies too... Including a 2012 study finding no medical or known causes for constipation in 63 people, who were recommended to go on a NO-FIBRE diet for 2 weeks (Ho, You Mei Tan, Daud, & Seow-Choen, 2012). Those who reduced their fibre intake had a significant improvement in their constipation symptoms, while those who resumed a high fibre diet had no improvement. The no fibre group reduced their (in)frequency of their bowel movements from one every 3.75 DAYS to ONE bowel motion DAILY, which is amazing and a massive improvement. With no fibre. There were additional benefits of NO BLOATING in the no-fibre group too!

In other studies, it is found that people with constipation have similar fibre intake to those who don't have much fibre (Preston & Lennard-Jones, 1986), or that those with chronic constipation have worse symptoms when fibre is increased (Müller-Lissner, Kamm, Scarpignato, & Wald, 2005).

Other issues with fibre, and especially too much fibre, is that it increases the bulk or amount of volume of the stools. Fibre causes congestion or a traffic jam in your digestive tract... hence why increasing more fibre with an IBS or SIBO diagnosis will make your constipation so much worse. Fibre causes your gut microbiome to FERMENT the fibre-rich foods to cause GAS and BLOATING, which is a very common issue.

So much for the common vegan belief that meat causes constipation and fermentation, and that plant foods fix this. It doesn't.

Constipation can be reduced and even completely eliminated (pun intended!), but only by finding and fixing all the root causes in each person. I've fixed chronic constipation in some people who thought they had tried all the medications and supplements for 30-40 years without success. And everyone will be different. If constipation is an issue for you, or anyone you know, then I can help!

Stay healthy!

Feb 4th is World Cancer Day

4/2/2023

Feb 4 is World Cancer Day.

In many people who have cancer, and who have the typical medical "treatments" of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, the cancer often comes back. This can be for a couple of reasons.

The medical treatments focus on the SYMPTOMS, which is the cancer itself. To either cut out the symptom with surgery, or poison the symptom with chemotherapy, or to nuke it with radiation.

For every cancer (or other symptom or condition) there are ALWAYS root causes which triggered the issue and which continue to cause its progression. In fact there's usually a combination of multiple root causes in each person which cause the issue.

But the medical model doesn't work on the root causes. It's not in their training or how they work. At all. They just treat the cancer (the symptom), typically as a standard protocol, which means they are treating the condition or diagnosis, and not you as an individual.

If you don't get your own root causes of your cancer (or other symptom or condition) identified and fixed or removed, then your cancer will return again and again until you do fix those root causes.

Also, the medical "treatments" of chemotherapy and radiation are well known to cause additional toxicity and DNA damage to cells and the body, and to reduce immune system function. These are also causes of why cancers come back.

There are a lot of known causes of cancer, numbered in the many hundreds, which MUST be identified, removed and treated. This can put the brakes on the cancer progression, and to allow the body to start to heal. Treating all the root causes in each person can also prevent cancer recurrence, and for long-term prevention.

To find out more about the many causes of cancer, for prevention or for treatment, I have a 5-hour webinar on this topic!

My Cancer Prevention Webinar 2023 includes the history and statistics of cancer to show how the medical model for cancer isn't working, the many common causes of cancer and the causes of the most common cancers, myths and misinformation about cancer prevention and treatments, testing for cancers, and more. This webinar is for those with cancer and their families, for health practitioners, and those who want to improve their general health and prevent cancer.

Access to the recording is available immediately with a ticket, and you can access this webinar as often as needed and with no expiry. More details here:

New dangers of sunscreens containing toxic and harmful ingredients, including some causing cancer and hormone effects

21/11/2022

For over 7 years I have been warning people on the health dangers and toxicity of sunscreens. I have investigated and written on the ingredients in sunscreens and how they actually INCREASE the risks of skin cancers and melanoma (the most dangerous type) and other health issues.

Sunscreens cause more skin cancers (and other cancers) because of their toxic ingredients which are known to cause cancer, but also due to HOW they work - sunscreens block UV-B light to prevent the skin redness and burning, and prevents production of vitamin D which protects against cancer (!), but this gives you a false sense of security to stay outside in the sun longer to be exposed to more UV-A light, which is the one that causes skin damage and skin cancers...

I personally approached sunscreen manufacturers such as the "Cancer Council" about the ingredients they use in their sunscreens, and the many toxic chemicals, hormone disrupting chemicals (affecting male/female hormones or thyroid function), and known cancer-causing chemicals they use. They denied there was any problem, despite many published studies on the chemicals they use causing these health effects.

So every Spring and Summer I call them out on this, so that people are aware and don't use their dangerous sunscreens. There are much better and safer options available.

Karma might have caught up with the "Cancer Council" in May 2022, when their sunscreens had elevated levels of a cancer-causing chemical (Benzene) in them, and they were forced to make this information public and recall some of their products (TGA, 2022). But they have had these dangerous chemicals in their sunscreens for many years and they did nothing. For example, their "everyday" sunscreens had several known cancer-causing chemicals, AND several hormone-disrupting chemicals, and other toxic chemicals, and some chemicals banned in other countries, in ONE product.

Perhaps as a result of this finding, and perhaps my warnings (I'd like to think so!) the Cancer Council changed the ingredients in some of their products recently in 2022. So I checked out their products and ingredients again, and here it is...

The Cancer Council have so many more products now, mostly with the same toxic ingredients in each product, but some variations too. Their "everyday" sunscreen has one less chemical now, which wasn't one that was known to cause cancer, but did cause neurotoxicity and disruptions to hormones. The "everyday" product still contains 2 cancer-causing chemicals, 2 hormone-disrupting chemicals, and one being damaging the environment or wildlife.

I investigated some of their other sunscreens too, including their "ultra" and "kids" products. The "ultra" product has many more chemicals than the "everyday" product, and more toxic too, with 3 cancer-causing chemicals, 3 hormone-disrupting chemicals, and 3 which are toxic to the environment and wildlife.

The Cancer Council's "kids" product has the same number of chemicals as the "ultra" product, with most being the same, and containing 2 cancer-causing chemicals, 2 hormone-disrupting chemicals, but 3 which are toxic to the environment or wildlife. If you had children, would you really put this on them now?

The Cancer Council is well named isn't it... adding cancer-causing chemicals to their products which are supposed to prevent cancer, but actually causing it instead.

This article shows the importance of always checking the ingredients and chemicals not just in your foods, but what you put on your skin. What you put on your skin is typically absorbed into your body.

Luckily there are better and safer ways to prevent skin cancers, without the avoidance of healthy sun exposure that you need for vitamin D and other health benefits, and without being exposed to toxic and harmful chemicals.

Stay healthy!

ABS data shows 75% drop in birth rates since COVID-19 vaccines being approved and recommended for pregnant women

14/11/2022

One of the most controversial and tragic in all of the events over the past 3 years, despite assurances of the so-called health experts and government officials, is the effects of the "CV-19 carrot" (the so-called "prevention/treatment") on pregnant women and foetuses.

In 2021 I reported on a CDC-funded study which showed an extremely high rate of miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women who had the mRNA shots, at approximately 82% (Shimabukuro et al., 2021). But the authors of the study ignored the data and still claimed the carrots were perfectly safe! An independent study reviewed their data some months later and reported issues with their data and explicitly concluded an 82-92% pregnancy loss that was ignored in the original study (Brock & Thornley, 2021). This finding was dismissed by the mRNA carrot manufacturers, and medical professionals, and any posts warning people on this (including mine) were fact-checked as "false" by the social media platforms, and anyone posting such information were censored and thrown in FB jail.

Given a bit more time and the truth always comes out, or becomes harder to hide...

The most current statistics of birth rates from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), shows the tragic results of the mRNA carrots that were mandated/forced/coerced to pregnant women, despite no safety testing every being done, as pregnant women are not allowed to be used in medical trials.

Australias's birth rates have been steadily increasing from 18,000-20,000 in 1975 to approximately 22,000-25,000 in 2019-2020. Until the mRNA carrots were introduced in February 2021... (ABS, 2022).

Since May 2021, being 3 months from the start of the carrot program, the birth rates have dropped EVERY MONTH from 25,669 to just over 23,000 in October 2021... to just over 18,000 in November 2021, the lowest since well before 1975...

To just 6,659 in December 2021.

That's an approximately 75% DROP in birth rates in 6 months, or in just 10 months since the carrots were introduced, which is coincidentally the same as the duration of a human pregnancy at approximately 40 weeks or 10 months.

The data is not just about the drop in birth rates, but the approximate 20,000 babies who died from the the effects of the mRNA carrots injected during pregnancy.

The 2022 ABS data has not yet been released.

I heard of so many anecdotal stories of mothers losing their babies in pregnancy, from spontaneous abortions and miscarriages in 2021 and 2022. But some people believe that anecdotal evidence bears no scientific merit, but anecdotal evidence is ALWAYS seen first, before published studies. In new situations, anecdotal evidence MUST always be seen as the highest form of scientific evidence.

So it appears that the abovementioned 2 studies on the dangers of the carrots in pregnant women were tragically right. The heads of some companies, health officials, employers and others responsible, need to be held accountable for this, with compensation for the women affected, fines for the companies and directors, and perhaps even jail time for health officials who said the carrots were "safe and effective".

Stay healthy.
