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. What’s going on? Is mental illness catching or are we having the wool pulled over our eyes? To find out more, please read on …

This blog examines the issue of problematic behaviour in young people and the growing numbers who are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).  NHS England estimated that over 700, 000 children and young people had ADHD in may, 2026.  The cost of ADHD drugs in England amounts to over £55 million annually, with Kent spending more money than any other region. What is ADHD? How is it diagnosed and what do parents need to know to do the best for their children?  To find out more, please read on …

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 …

The damaging side effects of psychiatric drugs are well-documented - nausea, fatigue, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, emotional blunting, death.  But did you know there is a side effect of psychiatric drugs that is far more insidious because the patient is not even aware it is happening?  It’s what keeps patients taking the pills and is the cornerstone which props up the whole psychiatric industry. To find out what it is and how to protect yourself and your loved ones, 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…

This blog is about something I rarely have time to talk about in a consultation - how your spiritual health affects your physical health.  It’s about how your thoughts and considerations can help heal you or keep you sick. This information no way contradicts the need for physical treatments for medical conditions or negates the validity of this conditions.  Rather it helps to explain why some people are more susceptible to getting sick in the first place or why it takes them longer to recover. If you have a physical condition or are tired, depressed or anxious, this information may surprise you. To find out more, please read on …

Informed Consent is the process by which a person voluntarily agrees to a medical treatment, procedure, test or participation in research after receiving enough information to make an informed decision.  NHS England figures show the amount of annual prescriptions for antidepressants alone in England has risen steadily from 23-25 million in 2000 to over 92.6 million in 2024/2025.  Under NICE Guidelines, the prescriber should discuss the expected benefits, common side effects and treatment alternatives relating to antidepressant medications with the patient. In practice, with the average GP consultation lasting between 10 and 15 minutes, this does not always happen.  As antidepressants and other psychiatric medications carry the severest side effect Black Box warning, I wanted to redress the balance by giving you some information about psychiatric medications from others.

Do you have the world’s most toxic non-radioactive  substance just a few centimetres away from your brain? If in doubt, just go look in the mirror and open your mouth.  If you see a silver or darker coloured metallic substance in any of your teeth, the answer isn yes.  Because those are mercury fillings and they leak toxic mercury vapour every time you drink, brush, chew or grind your teeth. How well you deal with the effects of this toxic tap depends on your ability to detoxify.  Yet, over time, even the strongest detoxification pathways can get overwhelmed and you can end up with heavy metal poisoning.  However, its progression is so slow and insidious and the symptoms so varied, that many doctors and dentists fail to recognise it.  And the patient suffers on. If you have ever had mercury fillings, please read on to find out what you can do to improve your health and longevity …

Your diet is the foundation of your recovery, whether from cancer, Long Covid or chronic Lyme and co-infections. Eating allergic foods is a hidden cause of chronic inflammation. It can keep the immune system too busy to get on top of chronic infections. The variety of allergy symptoms and complex nature of allergic responses explain why food allergy is not taken seriously by conventional pharmaceutical-led medicine.  As there isn’t a convenient drug to suppress a symptom, patients end up having to do the detective work themselves. To find out how to do this and why it is so important for maintaining health and recovery, please read on …

If you are chronically ill and not making expected improvements, even with the best tests and protocols, think “focus of infection.” This is a localised infection which may not produce symptoms at that site, but nevertheless, exerts harmful effects on other distant organs in the body.  If you have a silent focus but don’t know about foci of infection and their effects (sadly, many doctors and dentists don’t) you will suffer!  The worst foci of infection are from chronically infected teeth or tonsils.  I have written blogs about both before. This blog is about how chronically poorly tonsils can affect your health if you do nothing to rid yourself of the focus.  If you are having a hard time getting better, please read on … 

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the most chronic bacterial infections in the world - over half the world’s population is thought to carry it at any one time. It is also one of the most misunderstood.  While many people carry it without symptoms, in others it can contribute to long-term digestive dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, and even serious gastrointestinal disease like stomach cancer.  Whether it produces symptoms or not, the presence of H. pylori can be a problem for an  already burdened immune system. To find out how this works and what you can do to identify it, please read on …
