What I write about is seldom new. Most of the research has been out in the mainstream medical literature for years. It is just that we don’t usually hear about it unless you have your sources which feed you important tit-bits as they arise.
This is the same for today’s material. When I did my research into [...]

I’ve had a paper tucked away in one of my research document boxes for a number of years and have only just had an in depth look at it. It was a review which at first sight indicated that fat active people were healthier than slim inactive ones. And when I looked at it for [...]

When I mentioned it to my sister (a business coach and entrepreneur) she said [...]

As my regular readers know I’m undertaking training with John Thornhill on making money online through marketing our own products. I am still amazed by the way he has broken the process down into logical simple steps that are manageable week by week. This should take on some importance if you understand that I seldom [...]

The more I read medical journals the less I like the use of drugs but until lately I had always been somewhat of a fan of vaccines to prevent communicable diseases.
