Some of you may have noticed that I keep posting pictures of myself – in more and more layers of clothing – sitting eating my breakfast in my garden. For those of you who might have wondered why….this is where all will be revealed 🙂  It is all linked to circadian rhythms. Every organ in the body has its own […]

I have just been asked about the role that colonics have in reducing an overgrowth of candida.  Candida, or candida albicans to give it its full name,  is a yeast or fungus that lives in our gut. If we have a healthy diet and everything is functioning well then candida doesn’t cause a problem. But – if we eat a […]

Do you ever have one of those times where it feels that for every step forward – you take a step back – or even fall flat on your face?!  I feel like I have had a month of those! During the last month I have had one cracked basin that needed repair, I have needed to be rescued twice […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

I was recently approach by a man who wanted a colonic as he felt his immune system was low and he had heard that colonics might help. I had studied the link between the colon and the immune system when I trained as a colon hydrotherapist – but felt a refresher would be a good move! …and this is what […]
