Mens health week 2020 - men can (and should) ask for help!

17/6/2020

This week is Mens Health Week, from 15th to 21st June 2020!

In my clinic, while I do see some men as clients, the numbers are definitely in favour of women. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, women make up about 62% of visits alternative therapists such as Naturopaths, Nutritionists and other practitioners, but only 38% of men. But I see over 80% women, and less than 20% men.

Other statistics show that men are 3 times more likely to die of coronary heart disease than women, twice as likely to get skin cancer and 3 times more likely to commit suicide, and many other health statistics going against them. All the more reason for men to seek preventative assistance!

Perhaps a reason why is that men do not want to be seen as "weak" or suggesting that there may be something wrong with their health! I'm sure the women, children, families, employers & friends around such men would actually prefer them to be alive and healthy instead of suffering health conditions because of embarrassment or any other reason (ie, an excuse!).

Another reason may be that more men are working and can't get the time off to see a practitioner. I am aware that most people work business hours, and as a result I am available for evening and weekend consultations, or even online via Skype or Zoom, to fit in with your busy lifestyles!

Men's diets are known to not be as good as for women in general! As a result, men's health can be affected. However, good food choices can still be made in a working or away-from-home environment - if men have the right information as to what their food choices are really doing to their health, and what they can do about it.

Men, your health should be a bit higher up your list of priorities! Your family wants to see you healthy too! Men, just do it!

Whether it is for "secret mens business" issues, mental health, weight gain, stress, pains, gut issues, or anything else, I can help reduce these symptoms, and give you your health back! I'd like to improve the ratio of men coming into the clinic to improve their health!

Ladies, please insist that the men in your life seek professional health advice when needed, or even for prevention, as improving their diets, lifestyle, sleep and health can be achieved a lot quicker if looked at earlier!

The data, dangers and deaths of the Gardasil vaccine

Introduction to the Gardasil vaccine
The Gardasil vaccine has been considered to be a breakthrough vaccine for women and women's health, marketed incorrectly and somewhat ironically as "the cervical cancer vaccine", allegedly for the prevention of cervical cancer. But does it really do this? No!
The Gardasil vaccine is not going to prevent cervical cancer, as it is an HPV vaccine - a vaccine against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a viral infection that is mostly, but not completely, a sexually-transmitted disease. With over 100 HPV viruses in the wild, can this vaccine really prevent an HPV infection or even cervical cancer? Again, no!

In 2007, the first Gardasil vaccine became available for public use, containing 4 strains of HPV - 2 which can cause genital warts, and 2 that may cause cervical cancer. Hence this version is now known as Gardasil 4. In 2018 a new Gardasil vaccine became available, with 9 strains of HPV viruses - still a long way short of the 100 possibles (WHO, 2019). The Gardasil vaccine was initially given only to girls of pre-teen or teenage years. In more recent times, teen boys are now recommended to get this vaccine too, as while they do not have a cervix, they too can carry the HPV vaccine and infect their sexual partners.

This article will look at what you are not being told about this vaccine, why it is one of the most dangerous vaccines to ever come onto the market, and why you need to read this and confirm this information, BEFORE you inject your children with it... This is called "informed consent" - the right to know what you and your children are being injected with in this medical procedure, of the risks vs benefits, side effects and possible adverse outcomes of which there are many, so that you can make up your own minds as to whether you wish to submit your children to this almost untested vaccine, and the right to decline based on being given this information. Yes Gardasil is "almost untested" is actually true - it wasn't tested in a true scientific way, as explained in these referenced facts below.

In this article and the following facts, I will refer to the original Gardasil vaccine as "Gardasil 4" to differentiate it from information from the new 2018 version of "Gardasil 9".

The following is a summary of key points in the history, testing, and use of the Gardasil vaccines, including side effects and severe adverse reactions:

The original Gardasil 4 vaccine was fast-tracked by US drug regulators, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after only a 6-month clinical test. Normally, new vaccines take many years to a decade or longer to undergo testing before approval is granted. This lack of testing will be explained further below, and is why it has many health effects.
There are over 100 types of the Human Papillomavirus (WHO, 2019), yet the original Gardasil vaccine only contained virus particles to 4 of them (FDA, 2018). The new Gardasil 9 still only contains 9 types of HPV particles.
In scientific testing of pharmaceuticals and vaccines, the manufacturer must compare the results of the test group (those receiving the drug or vaccine) against a control group (those receiving a placebo) - people who do not actually get the drug or vaccine. The placebo generally must be an inert substance, or one which does NOT have any effect, such as a sugar pill or a saline (salt) injection. Tests are normally done "blinded", meaning that the test subjects are not aware that they are getting the actual product being tested or the placebo, or "double-blinded", so the test subjects AND the researchers don't know who is getting what - to reduce any possible bias or manipulation of the data. In Gardasil 4, the manufacturer did NOT use an inert placebo, but one containing "Amorphous Aluminium Hydroxyphosphate Sulfate" (Seqirus, 2019), being the adjuvant (immune system stimulating) product used in the real vaccine! The same adjuvant was used in the vaccine AND in the control group. This was a deliberate attempt at manipulating the test results to show that the vaccine caused no more side effects than the placebo, and thus be deemed "safe". Despite the fact that the vaccine (and the placebo) both caused many side effects, and the manipulation of the scientific method used in the tests of this product, it was approved by the authorities. Read more below about the issues with this aluminium adjuvant.
Gardasil 4 contains 225 micrograms of aluminium as an adjuvant. Gardasil 9 has over DOUBLE this amount of neurotoxic aluminium at 500 micrograms (Sequiris, 2019).
The Gardasil vaccine protocol requires a series of 3 vaccinations. This is because the seroconversion, or development of HPV antibodies, is very low or non-existent in many recipients after the first shot. Hence a second and third shot are needed, to try and stimulate the immune system into producing HPV antibodies. Even after 3 Gardasil vaccinations, some recipients may not have developed any antibodies, and are therefore not immune to the virus.
Gardasil was tested by the manufacturer on females from 16 to 45 years old, and males from 16 to 26 years old. Yet the age group which the vaccine is given to is much younger - usually 12-15 years (Sequiris, 2019). In effect, those in this age group are given a vaccine which is UNTESTED for this population.
Even in the manufacturer's own testing of the vaccine, people still contracted HPV and some even developed cervical cancer to CIN III stage, which was serious enough to require surgery. Yet the manufacturer still claimed 100% efficacy for protection against the 4 HPV types (Seqirus, 2019).
Even the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, the US medicines regulator) says on their website that "Most people don't have any signs (of HPV infection). HPV may go away on its own-- without causing any health problems"! So why do we need this dangerous vaccine?! (FDA, 2018)
The manufacturer noted in their product information for Gardasil 4 that testing showed "Subjects who were already infected with one or more vaccine-related HPV types prior to vaccination were protected from clinical disease caused by the remaining vaccine HPV types" (Seqirus, 2019). This is your natural immune system doing its job! So actually contracting the HPV naturally actually stimulates immune protection against the other types! So again, why do we need this vaccine?
The manufacturer also noted that test subjects who already had HPV at the time of testing the vaccine "did not show a statistically significant reduction of CIN or AIS (cervical cancer) compared to placebo". They also said "GARDASIL has not been shown to protect against the diseases caused by every HPV type, and will not treat existing disease" (Seqirus, 2019).
People who are sensitive to any of the ingredients of Gardasil must not receive the vaccine. Those who develop symptoms of hypersensitivity after receiving a dose of Gardasil should not receive further doses (Seqirus, 2019).
Gardasil 4 was not been tested for whether or not it, or its ingredients, may cause cancer. It was also not tested for whether it may cause gene damage which can precede or subsequently cause cancer (Seqirus, 2019).
Gardasil 4 was tested for possible effects on fertility, in rats, without any effects. Gardasil 4 was also tested for fertility effects in women (Sequiris, 2019).
Gardasil 4 was not tested in pregnant women, and is not recommended for pregnant women. Despite scientific protocols banning pregnant women from being used as medical test subjects, Gardasil 4 was tested on pregnant women, which resulted in spontaneous abortions, miscarriages, late foetal death, and birth defects in those who received either the Gardasil 4 vaccine or the (aluminium-laced) placebo in 22-27% of cases known. Yet despite these results, the manufacturer claims, "there is no evidence to suggest that administration of GARDASIL adversely affects fertility, pregnancy, or infant outcomes" (Seqirus, 2019).
Gardasil 4 was not tested in humans for effects on lactation (breastfeeding). Studies in rats showed HPV antibodies in the offspring, so the vaccine does get transferred via breast milk (Seqirus, 2019).
Side effects of Gardasil 4 were only recorded within 15 days of the vaccination, and include pain and swelling around the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness and pain in extremities, difficulty breathing, joint pains, migraines.
Other Gardasil side effects and reactions include seizures, systemic pain, headaches, muscle pain and weakness, joint pain, paralysis, fatigue, numbness, low blood pressure, high heart rate, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, respiratory difficulties, asthma, menstrual disorders, psychological issues, hallucinations, cognitive impairments, memory difficulties, poor concentration, sleep disorders, and many more (Beppu et al., 2017).
Due to the number of adverse reactions and complaints about Gardasil, some countries (such as Japan) have stopped the Gardasil vaccination program (Beppu et al., 2017). Considering that other countries are having exactly the same adverse reactions and deaths, why haven't our health departments or drug regulators done the same?
Because Gardasil contains aluminium as an adjuvant, and aluminium having neurotoxic effects - being toxic and damaging to nerves, the nervous system and brain, Gardasil can cause nerve damage that results in chronic, severe and long-term side effects (Shaw & Petrik, 2009; Alleva, Rankin & Santucci, 1998; Shaw, Li & Tomljenovic, 2014).
Side effects to Gardasil can be varied and difficult to trace back to the one of the 3 shots needed.
The HPV virus is responsible for 70% of cervical cancers, so a vaccine against this virus isn't going to prevent all possible cases (New Scientist, 2006).
Ten people died from the original manufacturer's testing of the 2 Gardasil vaccines, 5 in each study. Many hundreds more have died from the Gardasil vaccination since it has been on the market. Death shortly after being vaccinated with Gardasil is a very real outcome. Hence why it is so important to be informed of this information, and having a right to decline this vaccine. Where there is a risk, there must be a choice. And an informed choice, which you have not been given, until now.
Before Gardasil 4 was introduced, rates of cervical cancer were already falling and were at their lowest levels ever recorded. This reduction of incidences of cervical cancer were due to increased sex education, promotion of condoms and other initiatives.
When Gardasil 4 was released in 2007, the rates of cervical cancer have INCREASED in Australia, the UK and other countries every year since. Gardasil has NOT reduced rates of cervical cancer at all! (Cancer Research UK, 2019)
Cancer Research UK announced an alarming 54% rise in cervical cancer among 24-29-year-olds, the first generation to receive the HPV jabs (Cancer Research UK, 2019). See the graph above, which shows 3 blue lines rising since 2007 for increased incidences in all these age groups...
Gardasil is known to cause several autoimmune conditions, including SLE (ie, lupus), ASIA syndrome (Autoimmune Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants), Multiple Sclerosis, Transverse Myelitis (an autoimmune neurological condition, similar to Multiple Sclerosis or paralysis), and others, in many cases very shortly after the vaccination (Vadalà, Poddighe, Laurino & Palmieri, 2017; Hu, 2019). The manufacturer's own product insert states that 2.2% of Gardasil 9 recipients and 3.3% of Gardasil 4 recipients developed NEW autoimmune medical conditions after the vaccine (Merck, 2020). See this statement taken from the USA product insert in the above image. Note that this statement does NOT appear in the Australian product information insert for Gardasil 9.
Gardasil can cause a little-mentioned adverse event condition called "ovarian failure", or in another word, "sterility" in females (Vadalà, Poddighe, Laurino & Palmieri, 2017). Affected girls and women won't be able to have children, as a direct result of the Gardasil vaccine. Hence if you (as a parent) are looking for more balanced and informed advice on Gardasil, and if you would like grandchildren, perhaps you should not recommend this vaccine to your children.
Vaccinations only give at best a temporary immunity to an HPV infection, of approximately 4 years (WebMD, 2020). After this time, when many adolescents are beginning to have sex, they may no longer be immune to HPV.
As Gardasil doesn't protect people from other sexually-transmitted infections, condoms and/or other contraceptives are still required. Condoms can reduce the risks of contracting HPV, genital warts and also cervical cancer, even without the vaccine (CDC, 2019).
In Australia there is a class action legal action taking place, for victims of the Gardasil vaccine who had severe adverse reactions. They have a Facebook page called "Gardasil Class Action Australia" if you would like to join and find out more.

Risk factors for contracting HPV and development of cervical cancer
Studies have shown that cervical cancer isn't only caused by the HPV virus. In fact, other causative factors must also occur for the development and progression of cervical cancer, especially:

an imbalance in the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone, and male hormone testosterone (Roura et al., 2016),
and an immune system dysfunction.

Other factors which can increase the risks of HPV and cervical cancer include (Burd, 2003):

Stress - very common around teenage and adolescent years, as stress causes a hormone imbalance, nutrient deficiencies and lowers immune system function
Nutrient deficiencies - for nutrients needed for immune system function, hormone production, growth and tissue repair
Lifestyle factors - drinking, smoking, drugs, insufficient sleep quantity or quality, low exercise
Medications - anti-inflammatories, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and immuno-suppressives
Other infections - Cytomegalovirus, human herpesvirus 6 and 7 and others
Oral contraceptives - long term use of these can be a significant factor in some studies.

If a female has any PMS symptoms, irregular periods, pain, cramping, sore breasts and other period symptoms, this indicates a hormone imbalance which should be assessed by a health practitioner (Nutritionist/Naturopath) as these symptoms can be cleared to reduce the risks of HPV and cervical cancer.

If these risk factors are identified and minimised, the risks of contracting HPV and it causing cervical cancer can be greatly reduced. All without a dangerous vaccine.

Independent investigation into Gardasil 9
In 2019, an independent team of Italian scientists from a group called Corvelva, started investigations into many common vaccines and their ingredients. They reviewed the Gardasil 9 vaccine ingredients from several batches, looking at the genetics of the RNA and DNA of the pathogens and other ingredients in the vaccine. They found the following (Corvelva, 2019):

The Gardasil 9 vaccine should contain antigens from 9 HPV viruses, but only 7 were actually found!
One of the missing HPV viruses (type 11) is commonly associated with cervical lesions, and another (type 58) is frequently associated with cervical cancer, hence no protection will be present for these 2 HPV strains.
There were 338 chemical contaminants detected which should not have been in the vaccine.
Various bacteria and yeasts from laboratory contamination were found in the Gardasil vaccine. In fact 54% of the DNA in this vaccine was from over 2 dozen other bacteria, parasite and yeast microbes which shouldn't be there!
Human and mouse DNA. This can increase the risk of autoimmune conditions by causing immune system dysfunction.
HPV virus DNA fragments - which are not intended parts of the vaccine per se. These are more contaminants which may be able to be integrated into your DNA and cause autoimmune reactions.
Molluscum contagiosum virus - a type of pox virus which causes skin blemishes and rashes, now quite common but not so much in the past. Now you know why there's more of it around...
Other retroviruses - which can become integrated into your DNA, can cause genetic mutations and cancers. This includes Human endogenous retrovirus K, L-BC virus, narnavirus, infectious equine anaemia virus, all which were found in this vaccine.
Mouse leukaemia virus - which causes a white blood cell cancer.

Clinical Observations
In my clinical practice, I have seen many female patients who have presented with very strange symptoms that no doctor was able to find the cause of, or diagnose, or be able to treat to reduce their symptoms. My detailed questioning in my initial consultations picked up on the onset of their symptoms, which was around the start of their teen years. On intuition initially and lately from experience, I asked what may have happened at that time, or whether they had the Gardasil vaccine. In many cases, they said the symptoms appeared shortly after this vaccine. Sure this is what is known as “anecdotal evidence” but the published evidence referenced here, and from many more studies since the Gardasil vaccine became available, confirms that these side effects and adverse reactions are from the vaccine and are very real. Because doctors don't try to trace the root causes of health conditions, they don't know that Gardasil has these reactions. This can lead to the patient suffering for years to a decade or longer before being diagnosed, if at all.

A very common ongoing adverse reaction I have seen in practice is a combination of chronic digestive complaints together with heart symptoms. The heart symptoms often present as a racing heart (tachycardia) which the person may or may not feel, or slow pulse (bradycardia), or arrhythmias (irregular heart beat), or having all of these - a fast heart beat becoming slow then racing again in quick succession. Heart rate testing can show a very wide range of beats, often a difference of 20+ beats per minute from low to high and low again when rested. Orthostatic testing of heart activity, of testing blood pressure and pulse when laying down, and immediately on standing, can show a steady BP but an even higher pulse rate on standing, and an overall difference in pulse of 30-40+ beats per minute. In teens who have these symptoms, many cannot tolerate any exercise, and some athletic teens have had to give up on their sports because of a sudden reduced performance after their Gardasil vaccination.

Other related symptoms from the heart dysfunction include frequent fainting and dizziness, headaches, weakness and fatigue, chest pain, shortness of breath, poor thinking or low memory and concentration (NHS, 2019).

Together with the irregular heart function, the same patients also have chronic digestive complaints, of pains, cramps, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Ulcerative Colitis, hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid), chronic nausea, and other digestive complaints.

The digestive system is affected together with the cardiovascular system, as both systems are controlled by nerves, or more particularly, branches of the autonomic nervous system. The dysfunction of these systems can suggest a diagnosis of Dysautonomia, or "dysfunctional autonomic nervous system". The particular dysautonomia diagnosis I have found as a direct result of the Gardasil vaccination is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome or POTS. In my investigations of many patients with Gardasil reactions, I have diagnosed POTS from their symptoms, history, and orthostatic testing of their blood pressure and heart rate. I have referred patients to their GP for a formal testing and diagnosis, only to be told that they don't know what POTS is or who to refer to.

Luckily, POTS can be diagnosed, treated and reversed, but not with medical interventions. It can be treated with nutritional medicine, lifestyle improvements, and herbal medicines.

I have also seen cases of cervical cancer being diagnosed in women who tested negative for HPV, but some had the Gardasil vaccine (which is known to cause cervical cancer). They also had hormone imbalances, and other factors like stress and nutrient deficiencies.

Conclusions
This document is a summary of many published studies into the Gardasil vaccine, information from the manufacturer, official government statistics, information from drug regulators, and from my own clinical experience with patients who have had many side affects, adverse reactions and chronic health conditions resulting from the Gardasil vaccine.

The Gardasil vaccine was not thoroughly tested, and not tested to accepted scientific protocols before being approved for use. Testing did not include using an inert placebo in the control group, which enabled the manufacturer to claim very little difference in side effects between the vaccine and an active placebo. This is an unconscionable act which was done deliberately to hide side effects in order to gain a fast approval. It also shows a lack of thoroughness of the drug regulators to not see this deliberate ploy of deception, prior to the vaccine being approved.

The Gardasil vaccine does not do what it claims to do - to reduce incidences of cervical cancer in women. In many countries, including in Australia, cervical cancer incidences have increased every year since Gardasil was introduced. And any protection from antibodies has only a short lasting effect of 4 years. After this time, there is no immunity to HPV. Gardasil has been shown in studies to actually cause cervical cancer. Gardasil simply does not work.

Gardasil causes many side effects, long-term health effects, and causes many deaths. One of its key reasons for this is the use of an aluminium adjuvant, used to heighten the immune response to producing antibodies, and many recipients still do not develop antibodies to HPV. Aluminium in the body is a neurotoxin - it damages nerves of the autonomic nervous system, to cause a great many symptoms and health issues, such as heart conditions and digestive conditions.

HPV alone is not the only cause of cervical cancer - an imbalance in male and female hormones and a dysfunctional immune system are also required factors for the development and progression of cervical cancer. Improve the immune system function and improve the hormone imbalance and cervical cancer can be prevented or reversed, without needing the dangerous Gardasil vaccine.

All parents of teenage children must be given full informed consent of all the risks of the Gardasil vaccine, including the chronic health conditions and reactions it can cause, including death. I do not see this information being given to parents or teens. Where there is a risk with a vaccine, and there are many with Gardasil, parents and teens must be fully informed and also allowed the right to decline this medical procedure. Luckily there are other options available to reduce the risks of this infection and to also reduce the risks of cervical cancer.

Schools around the country (and in other countries too) are the target for government-funded mass vaccination programs for the Gardasil vaccine. All Year 7s in Australia are rounded up and taken somewhere in the school for this shot. Often, letters or forms by concerned parents to not get this vaccine are ignored by teachers and the health department staff who simply assume that all children will get the vaccine. It is best to inform your children of the dangers to this vaccine, and keep them home on the allocated day, or to avoid it by hiding during the time it is being done.

Plastics are bad for the environment, and your health too!

16/6/2020

0 Comments

In my consultations, I always ask my clients about their use of plastic products, such as using plastic water bottles, or plastic food containers, or whether foods are cooked in the microwave in "microwave safe" plastic containers. There's no such thing as "safe" plastic!

In short, all plastics leach chemicals into the food or water they contain. And plastics leach chemicals at much greater rates when the plastic or food is warmer, or even when frozen in plastic containers.

The issues with plastics are that the chemicals in them (BP-A, BP-S and similar, PCB, PVC, phthalates, parabens and more) are "endocrine disruptors" or chemicals which mimic or disrupt your body hormones, particularly your sex hormones and mainly the female hormone oestrogen. An increased amount of oestrogen in your body can cause a number of severe and dangerous symptoms or effects, such as:

Thyroid hormone disruption (which will affect your metabolic rate and whole body function)
Blood sugar imbalances, and poor blood sugar control
Male and female infertility
Menstrual symptoms - PMS, irregular cycles, painful periods and heavy bleeding and more
Premature puberty and menstruation in girls, even as young as 7 years
Breast cancers in women and men
Ovarian and uterine cancers in women
Endometriosis
Weight gain
Smaller penises and testicles in boys
Reduced sperm count in males
Genital defects
Enlarged prostate in men
Prostate cancer in men
Manboobs and weight gain in men
Gender dysphoria - a mismatch between physical gender and how one feels, favouring a more female identity especially in males.

Hormone-disrupting and cancer-causing chemicals in plastics can be found in unlikely places, including from:

Plastic cookware and utensils
Plastic kettles
Drinking water from plastic water tanks
Chemicals in shampoos, body washes and hair products
Cosmetics
Fragrances and perfumes
Household cleaning products and vinyl products in flooring and cars
Childrens' toys
Thermal receipts from shops
Canned vegetables, especially tomatoes (the cans are lined with BPA)
And many more sources.

Excess oestrogens in your body from plastic exposure can have a severe effect on your health. Which is why you need to avoid plastics and their hormone-disrupting chemicals from all sources.

If you have any of the symptoms or conditions above, reducing your exposure to plastics needs to be a key initial step. Additional work will need to be done to reduce your levels of these chemicals, balance your hormone levels again, and improving your whole body health to recover - which is what I can do!

"The Magic Pill" documentary review

8/6/2020

0 Comments

On Monday 31st July 2017, I was invited to attend a private screening of the new food and nutrition documentary "The Magic Pill", and be an expert on the panel afterwards to answer health and nutrition questions from the attendees. Perhaps the title is a little vague at first, but the message becomes clearer as you progress through the film, produced by Rob Tate and Pete Evans (Australian celebrity chef and Paleo nutrition advocate).

The film introduces us to several people of differing ethnicity and their families, and a warts and all look at their health issues, medications, and their concerns about their health. We looked at Caucasian Americans, African Americans, Native Americans, and a large community of Indigenous Australian Aborigines in Arnhem Land. All had many chronic diseases, including many "20th Century conditions" of over-consumption, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, liver and kidney disease, asthma, and cancer. We also followed the stories of a young girl and boy with severe ADHD and intellectual development issues who were non-verbal and showed a lot of typical behaviours of being on the autism spectrum, which was very stressful for their families.

The Yolgnu people in Arnhem Land were particularly interesting, as they recalled their parents and grandparents all being very fit, strong, having great teeth and in excellent health while living their traditional ways and foods. Then white man came with their western/modern foods. They were now living on "modern" foods of breakfast cereals, breads, damper, jam, orange juice and coca cola... As a result, their health was very poor, life expenctancy very low, and they couldn't see how they could change this.

But along came a charity called "Hope for Health" with selfless health professionals with a program which incoprorates their traditional medicine and diet, exercise, detox retreats, nutrition and cooking workshops and support. In a few short weeks, they turned their health around and this gave them hope! You could see the relief and improvements in their eyes and faces again, and it was beautiful to see! For more information on this charity and their work, please visit https://www.hopeforhealth.com.au/ and consider a donation to help these wonderful people.

A brief section of the film showed similar health issues with Native Americans eating the same modern foods introduced by white man.

It was obvious that the "modern" food pyramid and government food guidelines does not work for everyone (or "anyone", it could be argued), especially indigenous populations. One reason that the guidelines are not working is due to the huge amount of influence the food industry companies have in these guidelines, through "sponsorships" of various health advisory groups, and their deliberate funding of biased "research" simply confuses the public and maintains the current situation. These sponsorships are openly listed on their respective websites.

From my experience in clinical practice (as a Nutritionist and Naturopath), people from non-Western ethnic backgrounds improve their health so much by returning to their traditional diets, which typically includes plenty of seasonal vegetables, some fruits, organ meats, grass-fed/wild caught meats and healthy fats - eggs, nuts and seeds, and the occasional fast. This became the theme and purpose of the film - to educate and empower people to return to health using traditional nutritional medicine and cooking techniques, while avoiding the health dangers in processed foods.

Various scientific, medical and nutritional experts were interviewed and contributed to the film, including Dr David Perlmutter ("we should eat natural foods, not scientised foods"), Dr Rangan Chatterjee ("the question that all doctors should ask patients is 'what are you eating?'"), farmer Joel Salatin ("90% of cattle in the USA are fattened up in feedlots, being fed GRAINS" - yet they are supposedly healthy for us?!, and "a sick environment causes sick crops, which causes sick animals, which causes sick humans who eat them"), South African scientist Professor Tim Noakes (the South African dietetics association filed a complaint against him for giving Low Carb High Fat diet advice, but he won, due to the amount of scientific evidence supporting the LCHF model ), and more.

There was a short section of the documentary showing charts and statistics of the benefits of a LCHF or ketogenic type diets to reduce weight, and reverse many of the modern diseases mentioned earlier. The weight of scientific evidence shows that the current food guidelines is contributing to the chronic disease epidemic we have now, and perhaps the food pyramid model should be turned upside down, so that meats and healthy fats are the main part of our diets, instead of grains.

I do not agree with the current food guidelines (which is quite disappointing as a Nutritionist, but it is a decision based on evidence), and I recommend a similar food model for my clients, being a "low inflammation" nutrition program, which is a slight variation of the LCHF/ketogenic/Paleo model. I don't believe, however, that a high intake of meat/protein or healthy fats should be the most consumed food group. Vegetables should be - preferably raw, fresh, seasonal and organic as much as possible for their wide nutrient content. Grass-fed meats and "healthy fats" (not so much "High Fat", which is open to abuse or extreme diets) should come next, with processed or refined carbohydrates such as sugar, grains and grain products coming a distant last in quantity, or even avoided (as there's no nutrients in grains which can't be obtained from other food groups!).

A LCHF/Ketogenic diet can reduce chronic disease symptoms by reducing inflammation, reducing cholesterol and blood sugars, and normalising blood lipid levels and the body's response to insulin. These changes can help to reduce weight, reverse type 2 diabetes, improve mental health, reduce autism symptoms (both children became vocal, more responsive and better behaved in a few short weeks!), greatly reduce or even eliminate the need for insulin for T2 diabetics, improve energy, improve brain function and cognition, and reduce many other chronic disease symptoms!

We saw all of these improvements start in a few days in the family members being followed in this documentary, and they kept on getting better at each checkup a few weeks and several months after incorporating the dietary changes. It was heartwarming and wonderful to watch the improvements, to see and hear their reactions, and their need for less medications which neither helped improve their health nor reduced their symptoms.

If you are interested in food, health, nutritional medicine, or wanting to reduce your chronic disease symptoms, please have a look at this film! I recommend watching for its emotive, educational and empowering message, that nutritional medicine can be "The Magic Pill" to many of our current health epidemics many people are dealing with personally. If the movie can inspire just one person that there is hope in having better health and a better quality of life, the film has achieved its purpose! Many thanks to all those involved in the film, for raising awareness and hope in many!

Once you are ready to make some changes yourself, please consult with an experienced Nutritionist or Naturopath to help personalise a plan for you, as your current health conditions, lifestyle, medications and other factors may need to be taken into account. I'd love to help you achieve your health goals!

"The Magic Pill" is available to watch on Netflix. Please look out for this, as I highly recommend watching it!

Good health to you!

A brief history of the COVID-19 saga, what might be yet to come, and recommendations to prevent this happening again

3/6/2020

Just in case you arrived on earth from a distant planet in the last few weeks, you might notice that things are have been a little weird, crazy, or absolutely dumbfoundingly stupid of late. We have had a little issue with a little bug called the "coronavirus", or "SARS-CoV-2" (aka "SARS version 2") which causes an infection called "COVID-19" which you are statistically unlikely to get, suffer from (directly at least), or die from. Yet the entire planet is suffering from a "we're all gonna die" media campaign.

Here is a summary of observations and learnings from the coronavirus pandemic thus far:

The virus is man-made, as shown from multiple studies of the genetic code of the virus
Studies have not found an animal host source of the virus, and other studies have found no close relative to the coronavirus, based on genetic analysis and comparison to similar strains
Scientists in various biowarfare labs around the world (China, USA, UK, Australia and perhaps more countries) are complicit in the development of the genetically-modified man-made coronavirus at the centre of this pandemic, through years of repeated genetic manipulation of other coronavirus types to increase their ability to infect human cells. The main lab responsible for much of the genetic modification of the coronavirus, based on their published studies of their work, was based in Wuhan, China
The initial statistics of incidences and mortality rates from the country of origin, China, cannot and should not have been believed, being a communist country with a secretive government with a history of suppressing the media and inaccurate information being told
The PCR testing of the coronavirus, used to determine incidences of infection, is inaccurate
Statistics of coronavirus incidences therefore are inaccurate and should be ignored
The WHO have directed countries (and their medical systems) to classify deaths (by "falsifying" death records) as being from COVID-19 based on an inaccurate test, and/or assumptions of infection without testing, or deaths from chronic diseases, suicides, shootings, flu and pneumonia and other respiratory conditions, and other deaths as being from the virus
Statistics of coronavirus mortality rates therefore are inaccurate and should be ignored
The media are experts in manipulating the inaccurate statistics to create an environment of fear throughout the world during this alleged pandemic
The fear from the media has caused major divisions in families, workplaces, friends and communities, between those who believe the media scare campaigns and those who have done their own research or who have personal experience, or who are "free thinkers"
Governments and authorities have recommended people to "report" those who do not appear to be believing or following the recommended guidelines, thus further dividing communities in a time they keep broadcasting "we are all in this together"
Governments and their health authorities and even the WHO have not recommended simple, cheap, effective and proven ways to prevent or treat people from the coronavirus. They have deliberately withheld information, lied about effectiveness (or non-effectiveness) of preventative strategies and treatments, and instead promoting hygiene and isolation until medications or a vaccine are available (for which there are still none available)
Governments and their health authorities and even the WHO, have ignored the many natural preventions and treatments that have past evidence of effectiveness against other viruses, thus contributing to more infections and deaths
There is plenty of quality published evidence of the effectiveness of natural therapies such as therapeutic doses of vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, selenium, to support or improve one's immune system function against any infections, as well as lifestyle improvements of regular exercise, reducing stress, improving sleep, and eating a nutritious diet and low processed food to reduce blood sugar levels. However this advice and recommendations have not been suggested by the WHO or government health authorities - why?
The WHO, governments and health regulators, such as Australia's TGA, have effectively banned and gagged all health practitioners (both medical and complementary/alternative) from making any recommendations to prevent or treat the coronavirus, and have actively prosecuted companies and individuals who have spoken out against the government or defied these regulatory guidelines
It is well known in many published studies of the seasonal nature of respiratory infections around the world, for the common cold, flu, pneumonia, and even asthma. Such respiratory infections occur at much higher rates in the colder months of the year, in this case the northern hemisphere countries being far more affected being their winter and autumn during the early months of the pandemic
The seasonal effect of all respiratory infections occurs when the sun is further away from one hemisphere of the earth, which receives less solar radiation, resulting in low sun exposure and low vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is a potent anti-inflammatory compound, and immune system strengthening hormone. A vitamin D deficiency is a key causative factor in respiratory infections as shown in many published studies. Yet the government health authorities have not mentioned preventative advice to get safe sun exposure or vitamin D supplementation to reduce incidences or mortality rates
The media and government health authorities have focussed on the virus itself - to try and avoid the virus through unproven mass isolations, lockdowns and shutdowns, and hygiene practices, still being based on old 1800s "germ theory" practices that an exposure to a germ will mean an infection with the virus
The "germ theory" of old has been disproved, as not everyone who is exposed to an infective pathogen will actually "catch" the infection or show symptoms. Whether someone exposed to a virus will develop symptoms, and how quickly (or not) they get over the infection is due to the effectiveness and strength of their immune system, NOT the effectiveness and strength of the virus
Humans cannot avoid a virus or other pathogens, but we can improve our immune system effectiveness and strength to find and deal with infections such as the coronavirus
Some countries such as Sweden, Taiwan, Japan and others did not implement nationwide lockdowns, business shutdowns or "preventative" isolations for their populations. They did, however, recommend voluntary isolation of those at risk, with chronic health conditions, respiratory and cardiac conditions or the aged. The rest of the population could carry on as usual. If they were exposed to or become infected with the coronavirus, they would then develop a personal immunity and community herd immunity to the virus into the future
Herd immunity is a theory that if a certain percentage of a population are immune from an infection, they can "protect" or reduce incidences amongst those who are not immune, and the infection can die out in time. However herd immunity is only possible through a reasonable percentage of the population actually contracting the infection and developing antibodies to it. Antibodies produced from a natural infection last a lifetime. Unlike from vaccines which simulate a forced infection - antibodies may not be produced at all, hence why multiple boosters are required, or if they are produced, only last a few months to a few years at most. Hence herd immunity cannot occur even in 100% vaccinated populations. Mandating a flu vaccine or coronavirus vaccine (if it can ever be produced) will not allow a herd immunity to occur
The WHO is open to corruption through large private donations of alleged philanthropy, but in reality being for influence of the world's health organisation. The Gates Foundation are the second largest donor to the WHO, behind the USA, which suggests a huge conflict of interest especially given the foundation's many other investments in this pandemic. Such influence over the WHO must stop
The Gates Foundation are major investors in every part of this pandemic - from funding biowarfare labs who perform genetic modification of coronaviruses, to funding many pharmaceutical companies to develop untested fast-tracked vaccines or medications, to funding the reuse of existing medications that have no proven evidence of effectiveness against this virus, to developing virus test kits, to pretending to being an alleged health advocate or expert on this virus pandemic, to funding a company developing RFID tracking chips being injected at the same time of the vaccine, funding a worldwide technology platform to track people using their implanted ID chips in real time, and many other conflicts of interest with other companies
The UN have aligned with a UK cyber security firm to produce an electronic COVID-19 identification and health status passport called COVI-PASS. Plans have been made to record the coronavirus pathology testing results, virus immunity status, and vaccination status, and more, to be recorded and needing to be held by every person. Intentions are for this system to be used for other tracking and identification purposes for travel, workplaces, and many other locations, and potential restrictions imposed on those who do not meet certain eligibility criteria
Deeper investigations of mortality rates and published studies suggest a mortality rate from COVID-19 at just 0.1%, being on par with a severe seasonal influenza (Fauci, 2020)
With such a small mortality rate, based on corrected and proven statistics resulting in a survival rate of 99.9%, the massive worldwide disruptions were completely unnecessary
A mandated worldwide vaccine, as frequently being promoted by Bill Gates and many governments, based on these corrected mortality rates, is completely unnecessary given a 99.9% survival rate in those who have the coronavirus infection
The worldwide shutdowns, lockdowns, isolations, and their resulting effects on families, businesses, companies, stock markets, investments, and the economy, were completely unnecessary
Educated and expert scientists and medical/health commentators on social media platforms have provided a more balanced and even more accurate source of information during the pandemic, and those working in hospitals giving their first-hand personal and proven accounts of their experiences which are the opposite of the government information being given
Social media platforms have increased censorship of many aspects of the pandemic, to suppress sharing of information and even deleting entire accounts from knowledgeable experts, scientists, doctors, virologists, and more, because their expert scientific opinion differs from the approved government narrative or the opinion of the platform owners and their advisors. Luckily Trump has very recently banned social media platforms from censoring personal opinions and even expert advice that didn't fit the beliefs of the platform owners - freedom of speech is to reign again!

Recommendations that are needed in the aftermath of this plandemic:

There needs to be an independent investigation of the recommendations by the WHO to all governments on how to classify COVID-19 deaths, and investigations into every classified death and adjustments to statistics made accordingly to make them accurate
Investigations by the media authorities in all countries, to improve the accuracy of news information, as much of it has been a fear-based scare campaign, highlighted by opinionated and biased TV hosts who do not have a clue of what is really going on in this plandemic
The genetic modification of dangerous pathogens, to increase their ability to infect human cells, or any other "gain of function" testing or manipulation MUST be banned worldwide from now and forever
The WHO need to be completely disbanded and a new and independent government-only funded health organisation created, for the benefit of every person. There should be no corporate or private sponsorships or funding allowed, no conflicts of interest allowed, and equal opportunities being given for proven natural therapies to be recommended for prevention and treatment options, along with safe and effective medical treatments as needed
Many more people of the world have awoken to the massive manipulation of them during this plandemic. People are now aware of the corruption and conflicts of interest in the WHO, state and federal governments, and the media, to lie, to cause fear, to divide communities, and implement new laws to restrict movements, interactions, and lifestyle choices. Any further restrictions or mandates related to this plandemic, because of the abovementioned manipulations of incidence and death rates, corruption and conflicts of interest, are unnecessary and will not be tolerated by the people.

Keep aware. Keep disbelieving. Keep researching. Keep informed. And keep healthy.
