A big dzieki to our friends in Poland: namely Professor Maciej Banach of the University of Lódz. For Banach and his plucky team of researchers have just completed a thrilling meta-analysis of 29 cohort studies that confirm what we’ve always chosen to believe: cheese can help you not die.
Verily, cheese is the shield that can protect us against the slings and arrows of modern life, including stroke and heart attack, according to the European Society of Cardiology, which presented the research.
Studying over 20,000 adults over 11 years, consumption of cheese was associated with an 8% lower total mortality risk. Not bad, cheese, not bad at all.
Thought of this last night at my grandkids’ presentation ceremony.
As if LEGOs weren’t enough of an awesome childhood toy, one teacher has found another awesome educational/developmental use for this super-toy – as a math education aid! Alycia Zimmerman, a 3rd-grade teacher in New York, uses them to explain fractions, squares and other mathematical concepts.
This is my Submission on Mental Health. If you want to make one to protect Aussie kids from being harmed by psychiatry, please do so at: https://www.pc.gov.au/inquiries/current/mental-health/make-submission#lodge
This proposal cannot proceed because it is fatally flawed.
Psychiatry cannot cure, it only harms in the name of help. The statistics of those not mentally well continue to climb, suicides continue to climb, all despite psychiatric programs like Beyond Blue being given increased funding. Clearly, psychiatry does not result in a benefit to its victims.
While medical disease can be screened for and verified, there are no valid tests to confirm any psychiatric diagnosis. Three different psychiatrists can deliver three completely different diagnoses of the same patient.
The screening questions asked are so subjective that any child could be at risk of being labelled mentally ill and potentially recommended for a prescription of psychiatric drugs.
Psychiatrists cannot predict future mental illness (“emerging mental illness”) by the use of an arbitrary list of questions on a checklist.
The drugs prescribed to treat depression have suicidal and homicidal ideation as side effects. How can a drug that causes a person to think about committing suicide or homicide be a valid therapy for depression? Quite simply, it can’t. Nearly every mass shooter in recent history has been on psychiatric medication at the time of the shooting. Quite simply, the drugs do not work. And they set a person up to believe that drugs are the solution to their problems, which they never are.
Nobody every gets ill, physically or mentally, for lack of a drug. They get physical nutritional deficiencies from poor dietary choices or inadequate nutrient intake. These nutritional deficiencies can result in a wide variety of physical, mental and emotional disorders. Subjective, observational assessment does not factor in nutritional deficiencies and psychiatrists almost never order tests to see if the underlying cause is inadequate nutritional intake or malabsorption.
They get depressed if someone antipathetic to their survival invalidates them, their products or ambitions. They get depressed if someone antipathetic to their survival blocks them from their attaining their goals.
In neither the case of nutrient deficiency nor in the case of association with a person antipathetic to their survival does drug identify the cause nor provide a workable solution to it.
A walk has been found to be more therapeutic than a psychiatric drug. So has exercise.
“In summary, exercise appears to be an effective treatment for depression, improving depressive symptoms to a comparable extent as pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Observational studies suggest that active people are less likely to be depressed, and interventional studies suggest that exercise is beneficial in reducing depression. It appears that even modest levels of exercise are associated with improvements in depression, and while most studies to date have focused on aerobic exercise, several studies also have found evidence that resistance training also may be effective. While the optimal “dose” of exercise is unknown, clearly any exercise is better than no exercise. Getting patients to initiate exercise —and sustain it – is critical. “ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3674785/
Psychiatric drugs have been found so harmful to so many there are now groups launching class action lawsuits against the makers of these drugs fr the damages caused. Let’s not compound the felony by allowing this crime against the person to be committed against even more innocent children based on flawed and unscientific diagnoses.

A new mapping tool has discovered that 467 million hectares of previously considered barren land is actually covered in forest. That’s equivalent to 60 per cent of Australia’s land mass.
The raw (unadjusted) data from three Indian Ocean gauges – Aden, Karachi and Mumbai – showed that local sea level trends in the last 140 years had been very gently rising, neutral or negative (ie sea levels had fallen).
But after the evidence had been adjusted by tidal records gatekeepers at the global databank Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) it suddenly showed a sharp and dramatic rise.
If people knew all the potent healing properties of celery juice that I’ve observed, it would be widely hailed as a miraculous superfood. In my opinion, celery has an incredible ability to create sweeping improvements for all kinds of health issues.
Don’t let the simplicity of humble celery mask its strength—it’s often the simplest of measures in life that gracefully work wonders in the most complex situations. I believe that celery juice is a miracle juice and that it’s one of the greatest healing tonics of all time. I’ve seen thousands of people who suffer from chronic and mystery illnesses restore their health by drinking sixteen ounces of celery juice daily on an empty stomach. That’s why, long ago, I started the movement of drinking pure, straight celery juice. Since my books came out sharing the benefits of celery juice even more widely, it’s become a global movement. I want to be sure people know how to use this potent drink correctly and successfully because its healing potential is that tremendous.

This is a mind-blowing conversation that explores new insights into the mechanisms behind human health and longevity. It’s about the massive and misunderstood impact of industrial farming, chemical pesticides, the pharmaceutical industry and even errant Western medical practices have on both human and planetary health.
It’s a conversation about the difference between the science of disease and the science of health. It’s about the microbiome as a critical predictor of and protector against illness. And it’s an exploration of autism, epigenetics and the mechanics of intercellular communication.
