The media is awash with “superfoods” – we heard endlessly about kale, chia, blueberries, papaya and the like – but nobody mentions offal, eggs and boiling up marrow bones! It could be to do with the  photogenic qualities of rainbow coloured fruit veg compared to liver, kidneys and a pile of bones!  But today I am here to sing the […]

This is a hot topic!  More and more of us are wondering if we are sensitive to some of the foods we eat. And after 14 years as a therapist I am convinced that many of us are – and I have seen countless people turn their health around by changing what they eat. Some of the most common symptoms […]

Don’t get me wrong – I am a big fan of the NHS – free health care for all – amazing!  But yesterday I was given the results of my blood cholesterol by my NHS “healthcare assistant” – who asked me such probing questions as, “Do you think you have a healthy diet?” “Yes” – move on to next question… […]

I was going to write a post on: “Coconut oil – a superfood? – or just like butter only it doesn’t taste so nice?!” But then I started researching it – and I just got overwhelmed with information  I didn’t feel I could digest properly (notice the gut related pun? 🙂 ) So I thought, if I am finding this […]

I may not make much sense as I am recovering from a stomach bug – but, in between the throwing up and the diarrhoea I have discovered something rather remarkable. Well two things actually, no three: when I am ill I don’t think nearly as much; I live very much in the present moment; and I am very clear about […]

This morning I was supposed to be going on holiday – I still am going on holiday – just a few hours later than I thought. And there you have it – I thought I was going on holiday  about 8.30am – holidays definitely have started once one has left the house.. But it turned out that I had made […]

I just had one of those moments – I was musing about what I might write about the mind’s inclination to seize on the negative rather than the positive… I often do my best thinking on the loo – what could be more appropriate for someone in my profession 🙂  And so,  I took my pondering about this day’s blog […]

I was sitting at a busy junction this morning – waiting, as one does, for a break in the traffic. Waiting as the  seemingly never ending stream of  cars went by. I mused,  “If I hadn’t spent 40 years driving,  and absolutely  knew  that if I just wait,  a gap will appear – then I would be getting very,  very […]

My posts are mostly to do with the gut and the digestive system – but this morning this is just me, on a sunny morning, saying, “Hello Yorkshire!” When I first set up my first colonic clinic, back in Norfolk  – I wrote a “Welcome” blog post –   and here I am, 8 years, and thousands of colonics later, setting […]

This month I have been asking people what they hope to get out of their treatment with me. Many of the answers are similar and the odd one stands out…so I thought I would post a list of them – if only to show that – if you are not happy with your digestive system – then you are not […]
