Real Medicine Vs. Pretend Medicine

Keith Scott-Mumby

A sweet friend asked me for help with her mother today. It set me thinking a whole sequence of thoughts that it would be good to share. My friend thinks I’m a genius and therefore I would know just exactly what to suggest. How wrong she was! I may or may not be clever but […] The post Real Medicine Vs.

Are There REALLY Fewer Cancer Deaths Occurring?

Keith Scott-Mumby

Orthodox cancer therapy is NOT winning the war against cancer.  They like to claim that cancer deaths are decreasing (true for many common cancers) and immediately take the credit. The snapshot is that overall deaths from all forms of cancer went down by 1.8% per year among men and by 1.4% per year among women […] The post Are There REALLY Fewer Cancer Deaths Occurring? appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

The Recreational Drugscape Problem

Keith Scott-Mumby

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 […] The post The Recreational Drugscape Problem appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

The COVID Blues: Let’s All Have A Belly Laugh It’ll Do You Good!

Keith Scott-Mumby

In response to these dire and miserable times, let’s do a belly laugh (no, it’s not a pathological coronavirus symptom! It’s feeling good) This email all started, in a way, with a message from my friend Dr. Sandy Schwartz in Bangkok (Yes, THE Dr. Sandy), with the heading “Crazy, silly, dumb news headlines”. It’s a […] The post The COVID Blues: Let’s All Have A Belly Laugh It’ll Do You Good! appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

The End of History and The COVID Dictators

Keith Scott-Mumby

In 1992 I read a great book by professor Francis Fukuyama titled The End Of History And The Last Man. It had a broad revolutionary concept: that more and more of the world was switching from fascism and dictatorships to liberal democracy. At the time it did seem to be true. It was shortly after […] The post The End of History and The COVID Dictators appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

The Germ Theory Of Disease – Once And For All

Keith Scott-Mumby

In medieval times, people were fearful of many things they felt were dangerous: incubi, goblins, the pox, witches, the Devil. They had all sorts of whacky explanations for disease and why things happened. Malaria was caused by “bad air”, they believed (hence the name mal – aria). Today we know these theories and “models” of […] The post The Germ Theory Of Disease – Once And For All appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Take An Afternoon Nap

Keith Scott-Mumby

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 […] The post Take An Afternoon Nap appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

The War Against Chiropracters

Keith Scott-Mumby

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 […] The post The War Against Chiropracters appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Be A Grey Rock

Keith Scott-Mumby

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 […] The post Be A Grey Rock appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Understanding Detoxification

Keith Scott-Mumby

Toxicology is one area of medicine about which properly knowledgeable holistic doctors (clinical ecologists) are not in conflict with their more conventional colleagues. We share the same issues, pursue the same phenomena and agree on therapeutic approaches. Toxicologists tend to veer in the direction of epidemiological effects, studying whole-groups, whereas the clinical ecologist takes it […] The post Understanding Detoxification appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF THE POWER OF MUSIC

Keith Scott-Mumby

Many years ago I conceived the idea of writing a book about the health-critical importance of beauty. It always struck me as obvious that if we surrounded ourselves with beautiful things—furniture, paintings, architecture, flowers, fabrics, sweet music and such like—then our lives would automatically be enhanced and many health benefits would accrue. I am still […] The post JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF THE POWER OF MUSIC appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.
