Life Is Just AWESOME!
The thing about life is that it’s… well, living. You might think it’s easy to kill things but not so. Life is prodigious in its powers of replication. Life gets everywhere and THRIVES, no matter what you do. It takes some seriously sick filth, like man-made chemicals, to harm life. Even if you wipe out… Continue reading Life Is Just AWESOME!

Stressful Times What To Do
This week I was interviewed for Google’s own staff health and hygiene department. The topic I was asked to speak to was stress and how to deal with it. My good buddy Patrick Porter at BrainTap chaired the interview between me and Google’s in-house expert (who remains nameless). These are stressful times, for sure. Of… Continue reading Stressful Times What To Do

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 an enlightened king. A doctor as well as a monarch. He had medical and surgical skills. He carries a surgical kit everywhere and would stop his palanquin to operate on sick patients, sometimes… Continue reading Who Was This Ancient King Who Influenced Modern Medicine?

The War Against Chiropractors
In the 1970s, when I was at work as a doctor specializing in occupational medicine (yes, I have many skills you don’t even know about!), I found myself at an OM conference in the Scottish Highlands. What was really good is that one of the “works visits” was to a nearby whisky distillery! I don’t… Continue reading The War Against Chiropractors

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… Continue reading 10 Myths That Make Our Diseased World a Sadder Place

Be A Grey Rock
Outwardly, not inwardly! OK, you ask: what the hell is Prof going on about now? Well, it is important, so let me explain… My friend Malcolm, a pal I’ve known for over 50 years (both of us lived originally in Manchester), got this expression from a friend: “Be a grey rock.” The friend meant just… Continue reading Be A Grey Rock

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… Continue reading What Is STOP-GO Nutrition?

The Science Of Human Goodness
Positive Psychology takes you through the countryside of pleasure and gratification, up into the high country of strength and virtue, and finally to the peaks of lasting fulfillment: meaning and purpose.(Martin Seligman, pioneer of Positive Psychology) The sociopathic science promoted by people like Richard Dawkins and his ilk claims that only murderous, selfish aggression is… Continue reading The Science Of Human Goodness

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… Continue reading An Often-Forgotten But Important Brain Nutrient

The Recreational Drugscape Problem
It’s no secret that I detest and despise street drugs. I am not impressed by the hogwash of “plant teachers” and pseudo-spiritual window dressing. I suppose there’s a bit of arrogance in this: I have to question why someone cannot find themselves without chemically disrupting their brain—or whether, indeed, that kind of nonsense can ever… Continue reading The Recreational Drugscape Problem

Take An Afternoon Nap
For years I’ve been pointing out that taking an afternoon siesta has good science! It improves mental (cognitive) function, slows aging and extends memory. There are a whole raft of physiological benefits. I lived for years in southern Spain in the late 1990s (Marbella) and can attest to the benefits first hand, though I speculate… Continue reading Take An Afternoon Nap
