I have a theory about detoxification. It goes like this; 1. We start our life untoxified. 2. As we live in a toxic world we ‘toxify’. 3. It’s our choice whether we decide to reverse this process. 4. The best ongoing way to detox is to drink enough water. Too simple, right? Hey, we’re bombarded […]
Turmeric, Curcumin and Molecular Hydrogen. The Missing Link
Ever since I spent a year in India I’ve loved the sight, the smell and the taste of Turmeric. Given the basically carbohydrate dominated diet of most Indians, and the shocking state of pollution of their diet staple foods, maybe Turmeric is keeping most of India alive and healthy!

Witnesses to the ongoing water crisis in California has heard some pretty dire predictions about the state’s future. The facts are California isn’t running out of water.

A Wakeup call for Men’s Health Awareness
-With a thank you to Dan Meredith. (Ian: I have pondered the ‘why’ of men’s attitude to health for years as men accompany their wives like naughty puppies into our office.

Throughout history, humans have eaten each other. Now we know more of how ancient cannibals preferred to dine: They spent hours (well, I assume hours – they didn’t have watches!) preparing elaborate feasts with recipes with exotic ingredients. 2,000 years ago and more, people living near Mexico City grilled or boiled other humans, seasoning the cooked meat with chilis and brilliantly colored spices […]
