(From Ian at Alkaway from where I source the water filters I sell)
From one passionfruit my habit increased to a bowl of pawpaw, banana, passionfruit and orange… Every night.
So what? Well… last week I had my periodic appointment with my local skin clinic. Being an old surfer with Scottish skin I punished my epidermis mercilessly in search of that last great wave and of course, my skin is taking its revenge at age 72. Every visit, Dr Tim removes benign keratosis from all those parts of my body I ruthlessly cooked so long ago.
This visit, however, was different. He looked at a hard scab on the back of my neck and asked a strange question:
“Ian, are you stressed lately?”
He related that he has seen men in particular display a relationship between stress and what he was looking at. A squamous cell carcinoma.
I answered that no, I am far from stressed. I meditate daily, live a clean life and eat well.
Hmmm. he answered. Don’t you just love those doctor-hmmms?
Well, he cut it out on the spot and inserted 5 stitches.
Coming home to my true health guru, Cassie, I reported what he had found and done.
“You’ve never had one before, have you?”
“No, never. Plenty of keratosis, but none these nasties.”
“So… what’s changed in your diet?” she asked. “Ah! Fruit. You’re gorging on fruit! Fructose. The nasty sugar.”
Now… I’m not saying this is scientific in any form. But… think about it. Fruit, and sugar, is, like any dietary aberration, addictive. I had lapsed into an addictive sideline to my main alkaline keto diet! Sugar had sneaked back into my no sugar, low carb, alkaline diet.
As Dr Tim said, stress causes things like this. Stress, he said, can cause all sorts of nasty health conditions. So… is mental stress different to physical stress? I don’t think so. I think it is entirely possible that the stress that the excess fructose put on my metabolism caused the squamous cell carcinoma.So… Fruit? Yes. But in moderation!
Our ancestors only ever accessed fruit in season. And I’m sure they never drank fruit juice every day, or fruit smoothies, or any of the endless permutations our culture now tempts us with! Just keep in mind your intention. Balance through alkalizing.

If you still have some mercury fillings it could be a good thing to look at getting removed.

SUCCESS! SUSTAINED PUBLIC & SENATE PRESSURE has forced the National Health and Medical Research Council – NHMRC to release the taxpayer funded draft First Review into homeopathy it commissioned and buried in 2012 – which it said it would never release.

As suspected, the First Review was thorough, conducted by a highly experienced reviewer and concluded “encouraging evidence for the effectiveness of homeopathy” in several medical conditions.

The release appears strategically timed to manage risk before NHMRC is once again put in charge of conducting new reviews into 16 natural therapies – despite being under active investigation by the Commonwealth Ombudsman for misconduct.

Freedom of Information documents reveal the First Review was good quality, but the document released is ‘annotated’ to try and discredit it – without any right of reply by the author or disclosing the full backstory.

A great interview with a researcher on the cutting edge of how to maintain your mitochondria and therefore your health.

Some snippets:
Mitochondrial dysfunction is evident in every disease. When, for any reason, the mitochondria do not function perfectly, disease and aging result. So keeping your mitochondria working optimally is of primary importance in keeping healthy and aging well.

Exercise increases the number of mitochondria in your body. As much as doubling them!

Calorie restriction helps.

A study of 91 women found that how good you feel determines 10-15% of the mitochondrial energy production the next day.
