The mouth is far more than the gateway to your gut.  It is the starting point of digestion, enabling you to chew food, release digestive enzymes and prepare nutrients for absorption. It is essential for breathing, speaking, swelling, tasting, producing saliva, protecting against pathogens and maintaining the oral microbiome.  Through its intricate network of nerves and muscles, it influences facial expression, sensory perception and aspects of posture and jaw function. It plays a vital role in immune defence, nitric oxide production and our ability to communicate, connect and experience pleasure. When anything goes wrong with your oral cavity, it can have serious knock on effects on your entire health.  To find out how and what to do about it, please read on …

If someone comes to see me suffering from chronic fatigue, brain fog, aches and pains, digestive disorders and their funds are limited, I suggest three vital tests to help get to the bottom of their symptoms. These are tests for Natural Killer cells, that part of your immune army that stops viruses and bacteria from getting into your cells, and two viruses - Coxsackievirus and Sars Cov-2.  I have observed over 95% of individuals test positive for either Coxsackievirus or Sars Cov-2 or both, making this a wise choice for the pocket.  something can then be done about something about the condition.  To find out how these two common viruses can affect your health and what to do about it, please read on …

From 13th December 2026, synthetic folic acid (a chemical, not a natural substance) will be added to all non-wholemeal white and brown flour in the UK.  This includes standard white bread, brown bread and other baked products like baguettes, rolls, pizza bases, cakes and biscuits. The stated aim is to increase blood folic acid levels in pregnant women in order to reduce the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs). So why medicate the whole population instead of recommending supplements to those women who wish to take them? Especially as no proper assessment of the harms of folic acid has been carried out. To find out more about the mass-medication of folic acid and what you can do about it, please read on …

Long Covid is defined as a condition in which a person experiences symptoms that persist after a Sars Cov-2 (Covid-19) infection, or develops new symptoms following the infection, which cannot be explained by another diagnosis.  According to the UK’s NICE guidelines, Long Covid includes symptoms that continue or develop four or more weeks after the initial infection. Long Covid is a clinical condition, not simply prolonged recovery from an acute infection. Approximately 1.9 million people in the UK are thought to be still suffering from Long Covid. But are people getting the help they need? And are they getting better? To explore this question, please read on …

Psychiatric prescriptions in the UK have skyrocketed in the last few years. In England alone, the latest NHS figures show at least 9.1 million people were prescribed antidepressants in 2025/26.  In the same time period, 63,600 children under 18 years of age were prescribed antidepressants and 158,000 were prescribed ADHD medication.  Prescriptions for adults and children with ADHD have risen substantially in the last 5 years, as have other psychiatric drug prescriptions like hypnotics, anxiolytics and psychoses.

Root canal fillings are a hot topic in dentistry right now because they are so controversial. On the one hand, conventional dentists place over 6 million root candled teeth in patients’ mouth in the UK each year and insist they are perfectly safe. On the other hand, Biological dentists warn that they should come with informed consent due to associated health risks ranging from chronic immune suppression, infections, heart disease to cancer.  Who is right?

Mind-altering drugs are being fast-tracked as the new medical “breakthrough” in treating mental illness.  The metal health watchdog CCHR (Citizens Commission for Human Rights) is investigating the medical claims, the hidden dangers and their disastrous consequences.  To find out more about the actual nature of these drugs and how to protect yourself and others from becoming another psychiatric casualty, please read on …

The NHS is struggling to cope with an increasing number of patients suffering from chronic unexplained symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, fatigue, muscle aches, poor exercise tolerance, low mood, poor gut health, headaches and more. Numbers has escalated since Covid. With some GPs allocating a mere 4 minute phone call to patients, there’s little hope of getting to the bottom of what is really going on. Is it therefore surprising that an increasing number of patients are being fobbed off with the diagnosis of “health anxiety” while trying to cope with the challenging symptoms affecting their quality of life?

When it comes to your health, convenience isn’t always the best guide.  Sometimes, finding the right practitioner, the right expertise, and the right treatment means travelling further than you would ideally like.  But if you have been struggling with a complex or long-standing health problem, making that extra effort can be worthwhile in terms of restored health.  The right practitioner may see something others have missed, ask different questions, or have experience with different approaches that simply aren’t available closer to home.  When it comes to getting well, sometimes that journey is worth making.

Mercury fillings used in dentistry, euphemistically known as “silver fillings” have generated thousands of scientific papers due to their toxic effects on the human body and its systems, including the brain. Mercury amalgam fillings are commonly linked to Alzheimer’s and dementia as well as many other diseases. Organisations like the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) have campaigned for years for a complete ban on mercury fillings.  Legislation to phase out mercury amalgams has been ongoing for a number of years. A number of countries have already phased them out. However, it is estimated that roughly half of all dentists in the UK still place mercury fillings. Legislation on the 1st of July, 2026 was a significant date for dental amalgam in the EU. So what impact could this have for mercury fillings in the UK? Read on to find out more …

‘H’ stands for Homocysteine, a substance naturally produced by your body.  When your H level is too high, this is greater risk factor for heart disease than cholesterol.  A high H level is linked to over 100 diseases including Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Cancer, Chronic fatigue, Depression, Diabetes, Heart Attacks, Infertility, Obesity, Rapid ageing, Stokes, Thyroid problems and more. Additionally, your H level has been called the single best indicator from a lab result that predicts whether you are likely to live a long and healthy life.  Once you know your H score, you can take steps to reduce your risk of becoming ill and increase your chances of living a long and healthy life. To find out more about why everybody over 50 should do the Homocysteine test, please read on…

It is estimated that around 1 in 10 people in the UK are living with an autoimmune disease. This means that their immune system is attacking their own tissues. There are over 80 recognised autoimmune diseases where different organs and tissues are under attack.  There is also growing evidence that the number of autoimmune disease diagnoses has risen since the advent of Covid.  Conventional treatment for autoimmune diseases focuses on suppressing the immune system with medications such as steroids rather than looking for and addressing the underlying causes (which do exist).  There is a body of growing science that points to infections as being a strong driver of many different autoimmune diseases. Could targeting those infections and modulating the immune system instead of suppressing it be a promising way forward for the treatment of autoimmune disease?  To find out more, please read on …

The reason I am writing a blog on Breast Implant Illness (BII) is because I am seeing a number of patients who are not making the expected progress in the expected amount of time.  The ability of Long Covid to reactivate old infections and conditions is well-documented in the medical literature, but we now have effective tools to address these.  The common denominator of these treatment-resistant patients is that they all have breast implants, some for many years. This prompted me to explore the latest research, clinical experience and patient stories about Breast Implant Illness.  To find out more, and what every women should know before making an informed decision, please read on …

Britons traditionally spend thousands of pounds each holiday season hopping on planes in search of the sun. Now, as we are experiencing more changes in solar activity (sunspots, solar cycles, solar radiation), it is likely that we shall see more Mediterranean temperatures warming our shores in summer months.  However, because the British Isles are dominated by Atlantic weather patterns, our heatwaves can feel more humid and uncomfortable than the traditional dry heat of the Mediterranean. Therefore, it is important to know what you can do to stay healthy when the thermometer rises towards 30 degrees Celsius and above.  To find out more, please read on …

This is the most ignored protocol. Yet it is fundamental to anyone trying to recover from chronic fatigue, regardless of immune suppression and stealth infections like Lyme, EBV and Long Covid.  This is so basic that it undercuts everything else. It is backed by solid science but has been consistently ignored or dismissed by both conventional  and complementary health providers. That is why it is important for you to get this information, especially if you are suffering from fatigue.  It is simple to apply alongside other interventions.  Please read on to find out what it is…
