How To Avoid Autoimmune Disease

How To Avoid Autoimmune Disease – Part 1 It seems that these days there is a real epidemic of immunity problems, so knowing how to avoid autoimmune disease, and the things that are most likely to cause it, is becoming more and more important. We remember when growing up several decades ago that you hardly ever heard of older relatives or family friends having health issues that were autoimmune diseases. In fact, one hardly heard of cancers (except lung cancer from smoking), diabetes, irritable bowel disease and other diseases that are so prevalent today. Back then it was extremely rare Continue Reading →

True Gluten Free Benefits As we mentioned in the recipe for delicious Grain Free Gluten Free Focaccia Flatbread, being “conventionally gluten free” really does not cut it.

Positive Intentional Living

positive intentional living

Positive Intentional Living In the last blog about what causes illness, we put forward the proposition that many illnesses are in fact caused by unintentional self-inflicted disease promoting activities that may have occurred over a long period of time.

  Dangers of Amalgam Fillings  We have for a long time been aware of the importance of dental health, and the dangers of amalgam fillings. But since attending a symposium about oral health from the United States, we are now newly committed to getting this vitally important health information out to as many as possible about the serious health & environmental problems caused by mercury fillings. Since arriving in Queensland from Europe over fifteen years ago, we have used several different dental clinics, none of which were aware of the dangers of mercury amalgams and none practised biological dentistry!  This Continue Reading →

Hormonal Imbalances due to Parabens in Food

Endocrine disruptors causing hormonal imbalances

Foods causing Hormonal imbalances in women, men and children at any age We have been warning about xeno-oestrogens and environmental endocrine disruptors causing hormonal imbalances for quite some time. Previously we have concentrated mostly on plastics and other environmental factors, which contribute to this problem, but now it is time to shine the light on parabens used as food preservatives. Did you know, for example, not only have parabens been found in most cosmetics and personal care products, but they also found their way into the food industry as early as the 1920s? They are used for pro-longing the shelf Continue Reading →

Confused about holistic wellness

HOLISTIC WELLNESS – AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!! Do you remember the You Tube video that went viral a couple of years ago?

Environmental Disruptors to Sex Hormones

Sex Hormones

How Xenoestrogens Will Affect Your Hormonal Balance Far too many people do not realise that the vast majority of products, items and foods that we come into contact with on a daily basis act as environmental disruptors to sex hormones. This is especially important as we age because we have had a longer exposure to these environmental disruptors during the course of our lives and in addition our hormonal imbalances  increase naturally as a result of the general aging process as hormone production goes into decline. Let me briefly explain to you what a xenoestrogen is!  It is a “foreign invader Continue Reading →
