    So yesterday … and in order to understand this post you need to have read  The Day the Lists Stopped …  I had the most wonderful day – I did housework, a treatment, some gardening, had a couple of phone calls with family and watched lots of telly – and had an absolutely great time 🙂 And I guarantee you […]

    About 10 days ago I lost my A4 spiral bound notebook containing my “To Do” lists. I have made “To Do” lists for probably 40 years – but for the last 20 years they have developed a new layer of meaning. A meaning that has crept up on me unnoticed. I first worked out that I had – in my […]

    I was watching something yesterday which has left my mind buzzing!   Yesterday I watched “The Brain with David Eagleman – what makes me?”  . David is a neuroscientist and his programme was drawing on new research about the brain. And the bit that blew me away? It was about nuns. In America 1,200 nuns and brothers have been studied […]

    A lovely young woman who came for a treatment with me shortly before Christmas is the inspiration behind this post 🙂 We exchanged some emails after her treatment,  and she told me that,  over Christmas,  she had decided that she could do one thing to tidy up her diet – more than that would be more than she could manage […]

      Today, when I was out on my run – believe me this is NOT a regular event – I suddenly had a thought: “What if I had a heart defect and suddenly dropped down dead whilst running?” Tom was out – at the gym – this really is not who we are – honest! What if he came back […]

    You may, or may not,  have noticed but there have been two – very similar reality TV programmes over the last two or three weeks. They both involve doctors coming to stay with families and helping them with health issues. In one the doctor was there for three days, in the other he stays with them on and off for […]

    I am writing prompted by something that happened this week. A client of mine, who had been for one colonic, came back for a second. In between these two visits to me she had been to the hospital for a consultation about her bowel. When I saw her the first time I suggested that it might be dairy that was […]

    The piece below was written by the remarkable Jeff Anderson – a man I met about three years ago when he came to me for treatment, and got to know better as he became a regular at my meditation group. Jeff had a stroke a few weeks ago – completely out of the blue.  He has been sharing his experiences […]

    Ever had someone tell you to follow your gut? Or maybe you’ve had a decision to make, and deep down there is something in your gut telling you what the correct answer or choice is. While the brain has long been viewed as the centre of all emotions, researchers are increasingly trying to get to the bottom of this “gut […]
