Who Was This Ancient King Who Influenced Modern Medicine?
I love to tell the story of King Buddhadasa, of Sri Lanka (whose reign lasted from 341 to 370 AD). He was a very enlightened king; a doctor as well as a monarch. He had medical and surgical skills, carried a surgical kit everywhere and would stop his palanquin to operate on sick patients, sometimes […]

An Often-Forgotten But Important Brain Nutrient
Inositol, is a Cinderella nutrient but very important for brain health, because of its relationship to neurotransmitters (brain signaling molecules), especially serotonin (the “happy” molecule). More precisely known as myo-inositol, it is a vitamin-like substance (part of B complex) and is actually a carbon-ring sugar, that is abundant in brain and other mammalian tissues. Its […]

Medical Book Will End Up As a History Of The World
I don’t normally do book reviews but this one, I think is an exception. It’s Joe Mercola’s new work: The Truth About COVID-19. It’s truly a monumental collection of scary facts and figures. Read it if you don’t scare easy. But actually, if you are not scared RIGHT NOW, you are not paying enough attention! […]

The War On Knowledge
Centuries ago, men made maps and at the edge were often found the words “Here be dragons”. There were no dragons, of course. It meant we didn’t know what was out there. But it also meant that humans were afraid of things they didn’t know. “Better not to know”. And so, the Medieval mentality was […]

Can We Please Stop Shooting Mentally Ill Patients?
This was a cold—indeed bloodcurdling—headline in a medical journal, by a lady called Christine M. Sarteschi, PhD, LCSW. She’s an associate professor of social work and criminology at Chatham University in Pittsburgh and I start with her words… Historically, it was common for people with mental illness to be incarcerated, tortured, even killed. I wrote […]

Latest Geeky Science Tells Us How Long We Can Live
Not on my watch! As the world falls further and further from reality (REAL reality) we enter the geeky world of so-called “virtual reality”. Some people have started to believe their own digital nonsense and actually accept that the world is the way some computer spits it out. They forget that computers only tell you […]

What is stop-go nutrition?
This is a new term I’ve invented. It came to me one night – I woke up, got the phrase and then went back to sleep. That was 2 nights ago. It’s not a new concept; it is a new way of thinking about nutrition. See, years ago (decades ago!) I realized in the most […]

10 MYTHS THAT MAKE OUR DISEASED WORLD A SADDER PLACE
OK, I admit, I’m turning my back deliberately on medical politics this week. I’m just sick and tired of all the bad news, repeated and re-repeated by upset bloggers, “friends” and thought leaders. Still, my job is healing things; “Dr. Fixit”, don’t you know! So the idea came to me to start altering mis-perceptions; correct […]

THE TOP MEDICINES OF ALL TIME
OK, number #1 is a given. But Viv and I were talking about this concept, not particularly planning a newsletter. It’s maybe time to retreat a bit from the pandemic hysteria and anxiety. Let’s just talk “normal”, even though the world is anything but normal! The politico-medical front doesn’t seem likely to change any time […]
