This is an article that I wanted to write, so that people can see their illnesses in a different light. In fact all of the conditions I am about to describe are known as "Acutes", the chronic conditions being the long term health problems. Acutes last for a limited time, whereas chronics are ongoing. The Acute might be an aggravation of the chronic illness but it should resolve itself much more quickly. It is obviously different with Acute pain and I am not addressing that in this article.

Acutes are often your body's only way of throwing out what it doesn't need in the way of toxins and unwanted matter. Your body only has limited ways of expelling this debris and it uses these ways to rid you of toxic waste, so that very often, if you don't try to stop it, you will feel much better afterwards!

If your body did not have ways of removing unwanted matter, it may well become overwhelmed with it. People who take drugs, excessive alcohol and also medications need a mechanism to throw out the excess poisons when they are damaging the body.

If the body had no way of expelling excess waste matter, it could end up dying of poisoning. However, it has only certain ways of purification, through a set number of orifices.

All of the discharges mentioned below are really something toxic that have been remade by your body and converted into those discharges, in order for them to be safely ejected. Please note that green discharges denote very unhealthy matter being expelled from the body. White discharges are fairly okay and yellow ones are not as bad as green.

The Nine Method of Expulsion are as follows::-

1. Discharges from the eyes, white, yellow or green matter.

2. Discharges from the ears, such as glue ear, as watery, white, yellow pus.

3. Discharges from the nose in the form of watery, white, yellow or green matter when you have a cold or flu.

4. Coughing up phlegm from the throat in the form of globules from the tonsils of white, yellow or green expectoration. There is also mucous which comes up from the lungs when we have colds that settle there.

5. Vomiting food from food poisoning or bilious matter, sour or watery.

6. Excessive urination via the kidneys, which filter your blood to remove waste.

7. Continuous diarrhoea as a means of purging the body of toxins. If it is of a very unpleasant smell, this is definitely a sign of a detox, or you ate something that had gone off, perhaps food poisoning.

The liver is the main detoxification organ in the body, which also filters blood, processes nutrients, produces bile for digestion and removes toxins from the body. Very often headaches are a sign that the liver is under pressure.

8. Sweating of the skin. The skin is also an organ of excretion. That is why having saunas is considered to be so very beneficial. If your perspiration is of a very strong odour, this means you still have lots of toxins in your body.

You should address your eating habits and try to make sure you eat only pure food, not junk, processed or synthetic food. See my article on this. When you adopt a healthier eating regime, you will soon find your perspiration is much less strong smelling!

For skin, I would also add Abscesses because these have a nasty yellow or green pus discharge.

9. Fevers. Fevers are a way of your body burning up pathogens inside you and if possible, you should just let them run their course and not interfere. Obviously be sure to drink plenty of good quality water and don't worry if you are not hungry. They say "feed a cold, starve a fever".

This is because your body is very busy with the fever killing something off and eating food will redirect your body's resources to your digestive system, when it should be left to finish what it is doing with the fever.

If the fever is below 40 C, you could lie in a cool bath and when in bed have a cool flannel on your forehead, with no covers and cool air conditioner. Fevers below 40 C, are not so dangerous. If your fever goes as high as 40 C or higher still, you should definitely seek medical help.

Many of the above states can be accompanied by inflammation in the body. One of the quickest ways to alkaline the body, is to drink a little bit of highly diluted hydrogen peroxide, explained here in my article.

The human body is incredibly intelligent and it is always trying to heal itself. If this is possible without aid, let it do so. If not, I would advise finding a good homeopathic practitioner to give you the required homeopathic remedy to resolve the condition and make you well again. Homeopathy works really quickly and well in Acutes, when you get the right remedy!

Next time you have an Acute, if it is mild and self limiting, let it resolve itself, but if it is an indication of a more serious underlying condition, especially if there is pain, then obviously you must visit a doctor to get it diagnosed.

However, as I say, if you have a good homeopathic practitioner you can contact, they can also take down all your symptoms and cure you. There are numerous homeopathic medicines for illness, in fact up to 4,000 different ones!

Homeopathy for Your Garden

2026-07-18T08:48:34.893-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Around ten years ago I was friends with the author of the book Homeopathy for Farm and Garden and met him for a coffee a couple of times. He was a Dutch man and had changed his name to Vaikunthanath Das Kaviraj.

Giving homeopathic medicines to trees and plants is known as Agro-homeopathy, making them stronger and healthier, just as you would for humans. It is a non-toxic, inexpensive and residue free alternative, rather than using chemicals, fertilisers and pesticides.

The author 'Kaviraj', as he was known, first discovered that homeopathy worked on the plant kingdom when he saved an apple tree from dying and which subsequently produced delicious apples. The story is in the review. Here is a very nice review of the book.

I told Kaviraj about my Mother's dark red heritage roses which have a beautiful scent and that I had been given after her death in 2012. I told him they had black spots on the leaves and tiny aphid insects all over them. I was worried they would die. He told me to give them the homeopathic remedy Belladonna.

I gave them Belladonna 6c and soon after the black spots on the leaves disappeared and so did the aphids! The leaves became dark green and shiny and the roses were beautiful again! I was extremely pleased and 2 years later gave them another dose. Now every 2 years I give them Belladonna 30c (a higher dose) and it has kept them alive and well.

I take a measuring glass jug, put one remedy pill at the bottom, crush it to a powder with the back of a teaspoon and then fill the jug with mineral water. (I don't water them with tap water). Then you simply pour the whole jug of water with the remedy onto the roots of the roses (or plant/tree) and it works, as I say, for about 2 years.

I don't grow vegetables or fruit so I don't know the best remedies for these but you can buy Homeopathy for Farm and Garden in a number of online places. Just Google the title. Some prices are high but you can get the book at a lower price on Ebay and Abe Books.

Aphids and slugs can be deterred using the remedy Helix Tosta or Silica. I would suggest low potencies such as the 6c or 30c. Bacterial or fungal blights - again it says Belladonna and for root rot use Calcarea Phosphorica.

If you are repotting your plants and they might suffer from transplant shock you can give them Arnica 30c for shock or Calendula 30c for any physical damage. There is more information on remedies for plants if you scroll down to page 8 of this pdf magazine.

So the only experience I have of Agro-homeopathy is with my Mother's roses, but it is about 13 years since they nearly died and I was told to use Belladonna, and they have been flourishing ever since! I wish I had known about it in the last place I lived, which had a very old apple tree that hardly bore fruit!

Anyway, I usually buy all my homeopathic remedies from Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy, where you can order them online.

Incidentally, this rather blows up the theory of homeopathy only working through the placebo effect! In addition, homeopathy works wonderfully on animals too!

Pendants to Protect You Against Harmful EMF Radiation

2026-06-06T10:33:13.369-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

We live in a world charged by EMF radiation everywhere, especially in our towns and cities. From 4G to 5G and even 6G, this is very bad for our bodies and nervous systems. Our mobile phones are affecting us all, as well as our WiFi boxes and of course the mobile phone transmitters which are everywhere.

It is very important to turn off your WiFi box at night by simply pressing the little button at the back and then turn it back on when you need it again. This reduces harm and gives you a better night's sleep.

Today I am talking about getting a little pendant to wear round your neck both day and night for protection. It should be orgone (or organite) and have a copper spiral inside. It will neutralise electromagnetic frequencies, so they do not affect you.

Orgone pendants are made with resin and contain small gems, metal shavings, copper and sometimes a crystal. The copper is especially good at blocking EMF radiation, so make sure you buy one with copper in it.

It is better to have the copper inside the pendant, rather than on the outside touching your skin.

I can confirm that copper does block EMF, as I once happened to put some copper wire next to my WiFi box and I couldn't understand why I had no signal!

Here is a simple video about copper blocking EMF and microwaves but I am sure there are much better ones.

Some places you can buy the pendants:-

I liked this one on Etsy.

Here are more:

https://www.etsy.com/uk/market/orgonite_copper_necklace

These are advertised on Ebay.

This one is very cheap on Amazon and I hope the ring at the top does not give way, because it is an ideal orgone and copper pendant and I just bought it for my friend! But these are not really expensive to make and should not cost too much.

The main thing is they must contain the copper to be effective. There are lots of pendants that are advertised to block EMF but if they don't contain copper they will not block it. So if you want to choose one yourself, just do a search on "Orgone Copper Pendant".

Anyway, I would advise people to get one of these pendants to protect themselves, as I think electromagnetic radiation is only going to get worse.

H2 Molecular Hydrogen for Massive Health Boost

2026-05-16T09:44:20.052-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

I have recently discovered this powerful health aid, which Dr. Joseph Mercola has been recommending for the last couple of years as an excellent supplement. I have bought his own brand and am trying it. I can honestly say that it definitely works and I felt a much greater surge in energy and well being after trying the first one!

They are blue pills that you put into a large glass of water, wait until the pill has completely dissolved and then drink down the whole glass of water immediately.

One pill only a day and I am only going to take one every three days as it is so powerful! This is the second day after trying it and I think it's still working!

My experience is it seems to detox the body. The hydrogen molecule is so small it penetrates every cell of your body including all your organs.

Hydrogen was believed to be just an inert gas with no medical applications, until in 2007 a group of researchers published their findings in the journal Nature. They proved that hydrogen is a very powerful antioxidant. Since then there have been 2,000 studies showing that hydrogen has at least 170 applications for processes in the human body.

The main thing hydrogen tackles is oxidative stress, when there are too many free radicals and not enough antioxidants in the body to tackle them. Hence disease sets in. Oxidative stress causes damage to cells, tissues and proteins in the body but molecular hydrogen, as an antioxidant, reduces this by selectively targeting and eliminating the free radicals.

We are bombarded throughout our lives by free radicals in the form of air pollution, heavy metals, pesticides, alcohol, tobacco, etc., and they are also created through normal metabolic processes in the body. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that attack cells, proteins and DNA in order to stabilise, with the damage caused often being irreversible.

When we are young and healthy our bodies can combat the free radicals, as we have more antioxidants. However, as we age, our antioxidant production decreases and free radicals can wreak havoc. In fact the free radical theory of aging is what causes cell damage, disease and eventually death.

According to this article, taking any antioxidants may not help, as apparently we have good and bad free radicals, just as we have good and bad bacteria. Some antioxidants will wipe out all free radicals but hydrogen is selective. Molecular hydrogen is unique in that it only targets the bad free radicals and leaves the good ones alone.

The hydrogen molecule is the smallest molecule in the universe. So very tiny, it can penetrate deeply into every single cell of your body, including crossing the blood brain barrier. It is a very stable molecule and only reacts with the most reactive free radicals.

Hydrogen is so small it can diffuse right into the nucleus and mitochondria of your cells and work at the genetic level. Once inside the cell's nucleus, hydrogen binds to the part of the gene that codes your body's natural antioxidant defence pathways. Then it tells your cells to start pumping out more of your own natural antioxidants, which is a wonderful thing!

According to the literature, hydrogen helps ease joint pain, improves cognitive function, sleep and energy levels, better skin health and tone, athletic performance, weight management, promotes cellular health and hydration. Molecular hydrogen reduces inflammation in the body, reducing the production of inflammatory cytokines and mediators.

Since hydrogen's only biproduct is water, molecular hydrogen is 100% safe but I would still recommend taking only one molecular hydrogen pill per day.

Here is an in depth article, for those people who would like to research further.

I have only tried one pill so far and found I felt much better overall and my hair was much shinier! Probably the more I take, the better I will feel! I can honestly say that this supplement will benefit every single human being!

Nattokinase Breaks Down Blood Clots Fast

2026-05-03T07:39:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

I have been recommending Serrapeptase for cleaning out the arteries and to remove and prevent blood clots from forming. Recently I have found out that according to Dr. Joseph Mercola, Nattokinase removes blood clots thirty times faster and more efficiently than Serrapeptase!

The best quality one I have found is from my favourite brand pictured above!

(If the product above does not come up, just go to Products A-Z and look for Nattokinase under N).

As I have said before, everyone over the age of 50 should take at least one course of these for a good clear out of any plaque in their arteries, as well as any other dead fibrous tissue that needs to be removed from the body.

Nattokinase is derived from a Japanese food called Natto, produced during soybean fermentation and works in several ways at once. It cuts apart fibrin directly, boosting plasmin, the body's main clot dissolving enzyme and strengthening anti-clotting defences.

Fibrin is caused by protein strands that hold a clot together and Nattokinase directly cuts it apart.

Repeat blood clotting drives up atherosclerotic plaque formation in the arteries, eventually narrowing them. If a large clot forms, this will block blood flow and then cause a stroke or heart attack. Blood clotting is the basic underlying cause of heart disease.

Nattokinase can help reduce the build up of persistent fibrin by supporting clot breakdown and strengthening your natural anti-clot systems.

Nattokinase should be taken on an empty stomach about an hour or two before a meal.

A double blind placebo controlled study on Nattokinase was published in the Scientific Reports by men taking a 2,000 FU capsule with significant results and no negative side effects.

Read the whole article by Dr. Mercola HERE. He encourages people to address the root cause of blood clotting by eating a healthy diet.

Please note that Nattokinase may be contraindicated for blood thinning medicines.

Dr. Mercola also mentions Lumbrokinase, which is a group of highly potent fibrinolytic enzymes derived from earthworms, as being even more powerful than Nattokinase! In his article he says it can be very good for Lyme Disease sufferers.

My Best Supplement Brands

2026-03-29T10:23:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Nowadays it can be a total minefield trying to choose good supplements and you may be throwing away your money on useless products. As one doctor said quite scathingly 'giving you expensive urine'!

So many of the good supplement companies have been bought up by the pharmaceutical industry and reformulated. What I do if I am thinking of buying from any supplement company I haven't heard of, is simply go and do an internet search on them by asking "who owns........company?" Then you can see if that company has been bought up by a private equity firm or pharmaceutical company. If so, expect a less effective product. Often you will notice that if a company is suddenly under new ownership, the packaging has changed. That is definitely a sign that so has the product itself, it is weakened or reformulated. This is my own personal experience.

From Google: "Private equity firms and major health corporations are aggressively acquiring supplement brands, driven by high consumer demand for health, wellness, and longevity products Key deals involve established names like Vitabiotics, Orgain, and Persona, focusing on companies with high margins, loyal customer bases, and digital-first or subscription-based models".

Unfortunately, this is happening on a grand scale, so really good pure and effective brands are getting fewer.

I have also noticed that when I find a good product that works really well, so that I notice a big difference in my health or energy, that product often gets discontinued. I sometimes wonder whether Pharma finds out and does everything it can, right down the supply line, to eradicate good products! Obviously, they would prefer you to be taking their drugs!

At the risk of not being able to get my own supplements, (as they might become sold out), I am going to list what I think are the very best companies. Yes, some might be a little more expensive but there is no point in you completely wasting your money and buying something that doesn't work.

My all time favourite supplement company is Regenerative Nutrition I have been using their products for 21 years and in my Noni article I state that I am hoping against hope that they bring back their Noni product, which was the one thing that boosts energy for me if I feel tired. It really works amazingly well! I have tried other Noni brands but notice nothing at all after taking.

Do search their website as they have an amazing number of products. Regenerative Nutrition delivers worldwide, so everyone can buy and the prices they quote for their products actually includes shipping. So the price they quote is the final price.

In addition, they have a great library of information on all their products, which is extremely informative. I actually once had a long talk with the owner of Regenerative Nutrition and he has been on a long health journey of his own, developing all the products with great care. From the website:

"Regenerative Nutrition has been a pioneer in natural health since 1994, developing powerful natural supplements to provide a fantastic range of natural health tools. We've built up a wide understanding of natural supplements, and have compiled our natural health information library as a leading resource for learning more about natural health. If you have further queries though, our experienced staff are standing by to help - see our customer support section.

Our natural supplement store enables you to buy supplements to help you on your journey to better health. It's easy to use, with tools to help you buy supplements for your specific condition, as well as useful A-Z search options, or topical groups like vitamins, minerals and superfoods. What's more, with great discounts for regular customers, our natural supplement store will be your one-stop shop for all your natural supplement needs."

Can I just state here that I do not like it when supplement companies add things like microcrystalline cellulose, silica, vegetable stearate, among other things, or fillers, binders, bulking agents, excipients. If you are taking a supplement every single day, you will be getting a dose of those additives each time and they can add up in your body.

Regenerative Nutrition does not add any of these things. For example if you buy their Curcumin, the ingredients are just organic curcumin, organic piperine (black pepper to make it work for longer) and vegetable capsule shell.

My next favourite supplement company is Ancient Purity, which also ships products worldwide. They have a wonderful array of very pure supplements. I buy their Fulvic Acid minerals and also their B Vitamin Complex. Also their Vitamin E. I can vouch for the very high standard of these products and there is a number of rare and unusual ones.

That's why, although I do use Life Extension occasionally for their Super K supplement, I am not happy with the fact they use some of these additives. I see that gelatin, glycerin, maltodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose are in this K product. If Regenerative Nutrition can keep these things out, then so should other companies.

I am going to try a Metagenics liquid product with both D3 and K2 instead so I don't have to take them separately, although I see that Metagenics has been acquired by Gryphon Investors! Is nothing safe?! However, Life Extension has not been bought up and is still owned privately. There is a Life Extension Europe and a Life Extension USA.

Dr. Mercola, at his Mercola Market, where I buy his Women's Multivitamins is very good (though occasionally puts in additives). His Women's Multivitamins do not contain any additives and contain everything you could possibly need in a Multivitamin. The standard bottle contains 240 big hard tablets and is meant for 30 days, which is 8 a day! I take 2 a day, so these last a long time! As I am in the UK, I have to pay shipping but when I buy 3 bottles for about £100, they last for a whole year, so I think it's worth it! Anyway, they are my standard everyday multivitamin, and as I say, they contain everything good under the sun! They are excellent. I also buy his Krill Oil capsules which are very pure.

Another really good make is Kiki Health which I would totally recommend for extremely pure and best quality supplements. I buy their organic Spirulina and also their Zeolite and Charcoal powder. This is a wonderful supplement company and I think they also ship worldwide.

Terranova is also a very good supplement company and I have been using their Vitamin B Complex for some years. They make a wonderful every day health food 'pick me up' Terranova Intense Greens Super Shake that many people swear by.

For people who simply cannot afford the high prices of supplement companies, if you are in the UK, I would recommend Health Leads UK for very reasonable vitamin supplements prices (also on Amazon). I do buy their vitamins C, E and D3, as well as their Zinc. This is an independent company which started up in 1998.

The last company I am going to mention is one I only recently discovered, called Ethical Nutrition. It is a family owned business in the UK. I have only tried their curcumin product which I found to be quite good. Anyway I think they are reputable.

I hope this information has been helpful and good luck ordering high quality supplements that work!

More Tips on Healthy Eating

2026-03-16T10:42:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Further to my last article on MAHA and the one I wrote about how to lose weight naturally by eating real food, At the risk of repeating myself, I would like to add more information that could be helpful to people, as food is a minefield at the moment and so much of it is quite frankly rubbish. My little joke is that if food was priced on its vitamin and mineral content, 90% of food in supermarkets would be free!

Firstly, it is very good if you can eat eggs. Today I had three eggs fried in olive oil for my breakfast. I don't eat toast or any carbohydrates with it and you will find the eggs keep your energy up for many hours without you being hungry. The more I hear about cholesterol, the more I am realising that it has nothing to do with heart disease and high readings are in fact very protective of the body. We have been sold a pack of lies from Big Pharma and Big Science to get everyone on statins!

Later I will have a Dove Farm organic digestive or ginger biscuit and after that sourdough toast with good quality butter (Castle Dairies or Duchy from Waitrose) and organic honey. As regards butter, do not buy the cheap brands. I phoned Castle Dairies to make sure they are not using milk from cows that ate Bovaer feed. In Denmark it ended up killing the cows and had to be stopped but it was brought in to UK farming, so you can't be too careful.

Supper is my main meal at about 7pm. I have been buying organic grass fed beef from Green Pasture Farms. We order every few months. If you buy more than £80, there is no shipping cost. Yes that sounds a lot but you can get quite a few things for that and the meat is outstanding! You can really notice the difference!

They also sell bones to boil for bone broth (great for making soups), organic butter and cheese, as well as every type of meat and chicken. We normally buy the mince and I like the 20% fat one, also the diced beef for an organic onion, organic carrot and beef casserole. I am not usually a meat eater but I do feel extremely well after eating their meat. Meat fat is good for you and repairs the myelin sheaths of your nerves, which are made up of 75-80% fat.

If you boil meat or chicken bones for stock, you can make delicious vegetables soups of your choice and I sometimes make sweet potato soup or any root vegetable for winter.

I do love king prawns and also oysters if I can get them. Our fish shop sells cooked smoked salmon and it is the wild salmon, not the farmed one, which I would definitely avoid. I also eat smoked haddock with organic brown rice. Some people say white rice is better for you but I don't believe that. I always feel really well after eating organic brown rice, usually with a homemade curry but I don't feel good after eating white rice.

I often eat organic pasta, which you can get from Waitrose. It is definitely better on the digestive system than ordinary pasta. I cook it, then add in basil and tomato pesto sauce, chopped raw basil, tomato juice, black olives and chopped cheddar which melts in. You can add a drop or two of Tabasco, as well as salt and pepper.

We also make homemade pizza. You buy organic white flour and yeast. Make the dough. Then spread out the dough and put your own toppings on, such as tomato puree, cheese, mushrooms, salami slices, etc., or whatever you like, to put into the oven. At least you know what's in it and there are no nasty preservatives or food additives. It sounds like a fuss but once you've made the dough, is quite simple.

The truth is that most flour nowadays is genetically modified flour. Hence any cakes, biscuits, etc., in the shops are usually made with this. If possible, buy only organic flour, either white or wholemeal. It is a real pleasure to bake cakes and biscuits using these and at least you know they are nutritionally better to eat.

If you are a lover of salami, the best salami in the world is Hungarian salami, which is absolutely delicious! I've found an online Hungarian shop where I can order whole salamis online. I usually get two large whole 400g salamis and they last more than two months for all of us. Two cost about £30 including postage but they arrive very quickly and last well because you can't eat too much of it at once! I know people will say what about nitrates but this particular salami has been made for decades and I do trust it compared to the flabby salami in the supermarket! I used to buy this salami in the 1970s in London and I can absolutely assure you that it is exactly the same now as then. That is not true of many foods today that have changed.

Tomatoes. I absolutely adore them but these days I barely eat them as they are all genetically modified. You can see that by the tiny white fleck seeds in them, even the so called organic ones! In the 1980s I used to buy farm tomatoes when I stayed in Bristol, which were so delicious! The seeds inside them then were round green seeds which contributed to the gorgeous flavour! I remember talking to a man in a fruit and vegetable stall around 1996 and he told me that tomatoes were the first thing that were genetically modified. It made me furious! I would give anything to taste the real tomatoes we used to have.

Broccoli is another one. It used to be very tender and flavoursome in the 1980s and 1990s. Now it is tough and flavourless. When you boiled broccoli, the water would go green. Now that doesn't happen.

Unfortunately, even in our excellent local fruit and vegetable shop I notice that a lot of things there have been genetically modified. If you see larger than normal fruits or vegetables, you can be sure they have been genetically modified. You have to be very discerning and pick things out carefully. If you see insects around them, you know they are okay. Insects would not go near fake food.

I once contacted the UK Food Standards Agency to ask them if our fruit and vegetables were radiated. I found out that yes they were! Radiation effectively kills your food dead. The whole point of fruit and vegetables to eat the life inside them, which is what happens if you pick them from your garden and eat them straight away. So people who think they are being healthy eating their salads, are in fact eating effectively dead food.

If you can, pick fresh dandelion leaves and chop them finely with some kitchen scissors into your salads. You will feel really, really well after eating.

It is good to eat all kinds of nuts and I like cashews and brazil nuts, which we get from the fruit and vegetable shop. I also eat mangoes, which don't seem to be genetically modified and are incredibly good for you. Also bananas and black grapes. There have been very sweet black grapes from South Africa in the shops for the past couple of months, as it is the end of their summer.

My most important food is Avocados. To keep feeling well, I must have at least half an avocado every couple of days! Pick out the ones that look a bit purplish in colour on the outside and if they have some markings on the outside, they usually are very good ones. Unfortunately the ones that look a bit yellowish are awful.

I will eat roasts but worry about halal obviously, with nice organic roast potatoes, peas, organic carrots and we make the gravy with a Kallo organic stock cube and Dove Farm organic cornflour (both from Waitrose). There are lovely flat rib roasts from Green Pastures but you have to cook them very slowly for about three hours in a 140 oven. We put some nice flavourings on them before we roast.

I make a delicious lasagne with the mince meat from Green Pastures, with a thick vintage cheddar cheese sauce, using the Dove Farm cornflour and organic milk. When it comes to cheese, we like the Cornish Quartz cheddar from Waitrose, which is very strong and we don't eat any processed cheese. I also love the St. Agur blue cheese, which is great if you chop a little into your salad.

I do eat crisps but only the Tyrells ones, though now I am a bit wary they contain seed oils, so not often and not many. Seed oils must be avoided like the plague and cause inflammation of the body. They are in absolutely everything. You buy sundried tomatoes in a bottle and the oil is seed oil and the same with artichokes. I love artichokes but noticed there were unnaturally huge ones in the fruit shop. When I cooked one, it just never cooked inside. I am so sick of these scientists thinking they can improve on Nature! They can't.

So cook only with Virgin Olive Oil, which should look green, not yellow, or otherwise cook with Coconut oil - perfect if you are making a curry. Avoid all those seed oils completely, such as corn oil, rape seed oil, sunflower oil.

Fruit juice is not always very pure, so we use Cawston Apple and Elderberry juice and we also use the Cawston tomato juice which is good quality. Again from Waitrose for those in the UK.

I also eat the Duchy full fat yoghourt and Duchy cream, as well their organic vanilla ice cream.

I do like Earl Grey tea, which I have with organic whole milk and one level teaspoon of organic coconut sugar.

When it comes to chocolate, eat only dark chocolate and we eat the Hotel Chocolat or Green & Black organic ones.

Try to avoid all synthetic or processed foods completely and you will feel much better, your digestion will thank you and in addition you will keep your weight down!

MAHA's Real Food Pyramid

2026-01-10T08:04:00.000-08:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Finally, a good food guide! After all the bad advice on healthy eating, this is now being binned in the USA by head of HHS, Robert Kennedy, Jr., with his new Real Food Pyramid!

For years people were told to eat lots of carbohydrates and avoid meat and fats. Now high quality proteins are at the top of the pyramid and people are being advised to eat butter, ghee, tallow, lard, unrefined coconut oil and olive oil, as well as organic grass fed meat and good quality eggs.

People are obviously still advised to eat vegetables, fruit and nuts, as well as whole wheat bread. Sourdough bread is much less heavy on the digestive system. However, I will be looking at bread making machines and will use organic whole wheat flour or spelt flour (which makes delicious bread!)

As Hippocrates, who was the 'Father of Medicine', said: "Let Food be Thy Medicine"!

HHS has also announced that from next Autumn, doctors will finally be taught the core basis of health, which is nutrition. Previously they only learnt a few hours of nutrition in their entire medical course and most likely learnt the old food pyramid, which dates back to the 1970s.

Eating a low fat diet is bad for your health as we need good quality fats, so feel free to eat full fat yoghourt and organic cream but ditch the seed oils from your diet, which cause inflammation in the body. Animal fats supply the body with vital nutrients such as Vitamins A, D and K and are crucial for the myelin sheaths surrounding nerve fibres. These fats also protect the body from inflammation and help absorb nutrients from our food.

I recommend eating a protein only breakfast and I personally eat two eggs every single day with no toast or carbohydrate. I find that eating only protein for breakfast keeps my energy up for longer and is better for the digestion.

Charlie Kirk says in fact you can live healthily by eating no carbohydrates at all but suggests 10%, certainly cutting them down anyway!

As regards sugar, I presume that everyone knows that it is bad for us! If you must use it, then use organic coconut sugar, which is a great alternative for your tea or coffee. We make cakes using it, along with organic whole wheat flour, good eggs and butter, and mash a banana in to make banana cake.

It is okay to have some carbohydrates and I recommend a balanced diet but just try to eat real food. Most flour nowadays is genetically modified flour, so buy organic if you can. Also organic pasta is better than ordinary pasta. Avoid pizzas unless you make your own dough and add your own fillers, as there are loads of weird additives in them.

At the moment we are making bone broth from both beef or chicken bones left over from our meals. You simply boil the bones on a very low heat to simmer for a few hours. Then strain off the liquid, keeping the fat in it and make a soup out of it. This is extremely beneficial for people with osteoporosis or weak bones, giving collagen and bone nutrients.

You can use any vegetables to make the soup, so winter root vegetables are good, such as potatoes, parsnips, carrots, sweet potatoes, or perhaps broccoli. You can cut them up and boil them in the bone broth, then let it cool down and use a hand held blender to blend the vegetables and make a nice thick soup. Add a stock cube and we use organic Kallo stock cubes, plus some salt and pepper, as well as any other flavouring you might like.

It is quite interesting to note that in the past people with tuberculosis or people recovering from long term illness who had lost weight, were prescribed full fat milk, plenty of eggs and lots of butter and meat to build them up again!

In the UK, farmers have been treated badly by the government and the supermarkets, which give them very poor returns on their products. So if you are in the UK, I am urging people to search online for organic farms and order direct. Sometimes you need to order over a certain price to receive free delivery but it is worth it, as you can store the food in your freezer.

We are thrilled with the organic farm we order from and the meat is absolutely delicious, reminding me of the meat I used to eat in the 1970s in Somerset, when all meat was organic.

UK farmers are now talking about creating cooperatives, farming supermarkets that the people can buy from directly. This would cut out the middle man and give them fairer prices. Here in the UK we should all support our farmers.

You can read more on how to eat only healthy food to lose weight and to stay slim in my article here, where I go into it in more depth. Eventually, you will immediately recognise which foods to avoid because they are very unhealthy and quite honestly horrible for your digestion and for your health!

Boost Your Energy with Noni Fruit Supplements!

2025-12-29T09:36:00.000-08:00

By Louise Mclean, LCCH.

I am going to write today about a supplement that I have used for twenty-five years, which I absolutely adore and that gives me loads of energy!

The Noni plant is a small evergreen tree which grows up to 1,300 feet on the beaches and forest areas of South Pacific countries, notably Hawaii and has been used for centuries.

The Noni Fruit (Morinda Citrifolia) I use is sold by Regenerative Nutrition but they are currently attempting to find a new source, as they cannot get it at the moment from their original wholesalers. As Regenerative Nutrition only use the purest ingredients, they have had difficulty in obtaining it and I have been endeavouring to find a good organic brand to replace theirs until they re-stock. (NB. I didn't find any other brand as good!)

REGENERATIVE NUTRITION NONI FRUIT NOW BACK IN STOCK! (July 2026)

I would advise only the best organic Noni Fruit capsules if you can find them. People in America, where there is a much bigger choice of supplements than the UK, might be able to get a good quality organic Noni fruit extract product.

Noni fruit not only gives you energy but it is also a supplement to take if you have cancer, like Curcumin, the painkiller. In fact a federal grant was given to the University of Hawaii to study whether Noni could alleviate cancer symptoms.

I remember an acquaintance getting off a plane in the morning exhausted and we gave him two Noni pills and his energy dramatically picked up for the rest of the day! It you can find the right product, it is an absolute life saver if you have a really heavy day ahead or awaken feeling tired! I found that an hour after taking mine, I would have a burst of energy and Regenerative Nutrition is definitely the best.

Noni was originally used for diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems but was traditionally known as the headache or migraine remedy. It is also excellent for the endocrine, metabolic and immune systems.

It is specifically helpful for disease prevention and deterioration due to aging. Noni opens up the body cells, making them more receptive to receiving nutrients. It contains a large number of antioxidants which destroy free radicals in the body and this is why it appears to help cancer patients.

It stimulates the endocrine system to produce secretions for good health and metabolic function, as well inducing peaceful sleep and calming the nervous system.

Noni stimulates the pineal gland, that produces melatonin and serotonin. Because the pineal gland is the master gland of the body, this in turn activates the other glands in the body to work better, namely the thyroid, thymus, pancreas, prostate, ovaries and adrenal glands.

If anyone knows of a good organic Noni Fruit supplement, please let me know in the comments! This one might be worth a try! You can also buy Noni Juice to drink.

Unfortunately for many years I have noticed that if there are really good supplements which actually do work, the pharmaceutical industry is not happy, as they want people to only using their Pharma medicines. So they will do everything they can to get those products banned or removed. If that doesn't work, they buy up the supplement companies and reformulate the products to make them less effective!

Brain Fog - Take Activated Charcoal or Zeolite

2025-11-14T07:49:00.000-08:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

This is just a quick article to tell you what I discovered recently. Sometimes I wake up with brain fog and I have found that taking either Activated Charcoal capsules or Zeolite will clear my head very quickly and completely.

I would advise taking these at least once a week.

I have found that lots of the Activated Charcoal available to buy is not made with Coconut Shell. Do not buy it if it is made with anything else. The one I used to buy from Weight World is now made with eucalyptus and acacia shell! These do not work very well.

In the picture above is a combination of Activated Charcoal and Zeolite, which is a very good idea! I have bought the Zeolite only product from Kiki Health but as you can see above, they make the combination product for £9.95.

Kiki Health also sells excellent Activated Charcoal capsules, currently £12 for 50. These I would 100% recommend as the best and more pure and active. You can also buy activated charcoal powder from this company.

Activated Charcoal is very good if you have been to a party and have a hangover. Take a couple of capsules before bed and you will wake up feeling absolutely fine!

It is also very good for food poisoning and got someone I know completely better when they were on holiday.

It is used in hospitals for people who have taken a poison or a drug overdose to remove the poison or drug. It basically picks up and excretes in the stool any toxins that are in your bloodstream.

Zeolite picks up any heavy metals in your bloodstream and removes them. There are two more in depth articles about both Zeolite and Charcoal on my blog.

Nowadays, unfortunately we are all surrounded by pollution, chemicals, toxins and heavy metals, not just in foods but also in the air we breathe. Once you breathe air into your lungs, any toxins or heavy metals quickly go into your bloodstream and around your body. These are also transported in the bloodstream to your head and around your brain, so hence the brain fog!

Anyway, these two products will quickly clear your head and you will feel much better. As we are all being subjected to this every day, everyone needs to take these on a regular basis, so they don't play havoc in your body and cause illness.

Please note that people taking prescription drugs, will also have these temporarily removed as toxins, particularly by the activated charcoal, but you will probably take another dose of your medication fairly quickly. However some care should be taken.

Hydrogen Peroxide for Sore Throats, Teeth Whitening and More

2025-11-06T06:26:00.000-08:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Hydrogen Peroxide or H2O2 and is basically oxygenated water, made up of two hydrogen molecules and two oxygen molecules. It is used as an oxidiser, bleaching agent, disinfectant, antimicrobial and antiseptic, in a dilute solution in water for consumer use and in higher concentrations for industrial use. The above food grade hydrogen peroxide is for consumers and is only 12% strength but still needs to be greatly diluted with water for human use.

If you suddenly get a bad sore throat, get a medium sized glass, put one teaspoon of 12% hydrogen peroxide in half a glass of water. Then gargle with it for awhile and you will find the sore throat disappears!

When you clean your teeth in the morning and night, keep a small glass of water with one teaspoon of 12% hydrogen peroxide by your basin. Dip your toothbrush in it, which will remove all germs on the toothbrush before you clean your teeth and again after you finish. Over time, your teeth will whiten!

The hydrogen peroxide will remove bacteria at the edges of your teeth and gums, as hydrogen peroxide will kill the bacteria. This will help prevent toothache. Dip the toothbrush in a hydrogen peroxide and water mix, this time in a smaller cup with less water and one teaspoon of it and if you clean your teeth with this mix around the gums, the toothbrush will become frothy. Your teeth will become whiter and your mouth will be fully cleansed and antiseptic.

I wrote an earlier article about using lemon juice to dissolve plaque around the teeth and gums, which works very well if you do it every night. I have discovered that only lemon juice dissolves the plaque. This practice will prevent painful visits to the dentist for people with gum disease. Some people are concerned that the lemon juice may remove the enamel of the teeth but I have not found it so.

The other day, I slightly cut my finger while chopping something. Just a tiny nick but I was worried a little food might have got in, so I dipped the finger into a water/hydrogen peroxide mix for a little while to cleanse it and it later healed perfectly with no problems.

Another thing I have used it for is to internally alkaline my body. I have actually drunk hydrogen peroxide in an extremely dilute glass of water. For this, take a large glass of water and put in about half a teaspoon of the 12%. If the hydrogen peroxide you buy is higher than 12%, you will have to try to calculate how much to put in as I am only talking about the 12% product in this article. If in doubt put as little as possible! You will know if it is too much, as it will burn when it hits your stomach! Don't worry you will be fine if that happens! It is safe in small doses.

Hydrogen Peroxide has its own distinctive taste. If your dilution is too strong, you will taste it but really it should be so dilute that you can hardly taste it at all. That is how you can gauge it.

When I buy a bottle of 12%, I would divide it up and draw six lines along the bottle and pour one sixth into another 500 ml bottle, which I dilute by filling that up with distilled water or purified water. Then I use the 500 ml diluted bottle but that still needs to be diluted again in a glass or cup.

I have drunk it when I have cystitis or heartburn. It gets rid of it immediately and after only a small amount! Yes, it gets rid of cystitis! All illness with 'itis' means inflammation. It just quickly alkalizes your system, makes it alkaline, instead of acidic (inflammation).

Again, if you have cancer, a tiny bit in water every day, would be very helpful, as cancer always involves inflammation and acidity in the body and as hydrogen peroxide is oxygen in water, it clears inflammation away quickly. Oxygen itself is the greatest cure for inflammation.

According to an article I am reading, which adds further uses to the ones I have already tried, hydrogen peroxide mixed with water can remove foot fungus if you soak your feet in it for about 10 minutes. Here it says you can make up half with 20% hydrogen peroxide and half with 50% water. It's probably safer if it's more concentrated for the feet.

Further, the article says cleaning your contact lenses with very dilute hydrogen peroxide is the best way of disinfecting them without harming them.

The article also suggests you use it for household cleaning including wiping in areas with dust mites, cleaning your windows with a little, a tiny bit in your dishwasher for perfect dishes, cleaning your children's toys, bleaching your clothes to remove stains, disinfecting walls, cleaning your fridge, cleaning your chopping boards.

In addition, it suggests using diluted hydrogen peroxide on spots on your face, for lightening your hair and putting some in your bath. For lightening hair it suggests using half 3% hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle with half water and spraying on your hair which will gradually lighten your hair naturally.

I think it is relatively easy in America to buy hydrogen peroxide for every day use but in Britain it is hard to find. The above pictured food grade Hydrogen Peroxide 12% is from a company in Britain called Health Leads UK.

You will probably find even more uses for hydrogen peroxide, as I have!

Humoral vs Cell-Mediated Immunity in Vaccine Damage

2025-10-05T08:55:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Cell-mediated immunity and humoral immunity are both part of the human adaptive immune system. They have distinctive roles and operate using different cell pathways.

Cell mediated immunity is the first line of defence and uses mature T helper and T cytotoxic cells, which recognise pathogens and antigens. These T cells will destroy infected cells, such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. Cellular immunity utilises phagocytic white cells (ingesting foreign agents) and cytotoxic activities (poisoning foreign agents). Each is identifiable by a biochemical signature it produces in the form of substances called cytokines.

Humoral immunity acts as the second line of defence using B cells, and antibodies are produced by plasma cells to identify and bind specific antigens, neutralising extracellular pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. Humoral immunity is always active in the body and is circulated by body fluids.

Cell-mediated immunity is the first line of defence and has to be triggered by mature T cells and macrophages, while humoral immunity is the second line of defence, which is antibody-mediated immunity.

Cell-mediated immunity has a long term memory, remembering previous infections or antigens, while humoral immunity has a short term memory. Both cell-mediated and humoral immunity work together in a coordinated defence.

Major medical journals state that in healthy people there is a bias towards cellular immunity, while people with allergies, asthma and auto-immune diseases tend towards the humoral immunity.

There is considerable evidence that vaccines disturbs the cell-mediated immune balance, causing the alarming rise in allergies and other illnesses in small children and infants. According to Dr. H.H. Fudenburg, a renowned immunologist, with hundreds of publications to his credit "One vaccine decreases cell-mediated immunity by 50%. Two vaccines by 70%. Triple vaccines like the MMR markedly impair cell-mediated immunity, which predisposes to recurrent viral infections, especially otitis media, as well as yeast and fungal infections.

So if your body encounters a new and novel pathogen that it has never encountered before, your cell-mediated immunity kicks off to counteract it with your white blood cells fighting it. Then you might react by initially sneezing to repel the pathogen and if that doesn't work you may experience all the symptoms of a cold or flu, as your body tries to overcome it.

The symptoms of a fever, runny nose, cough, colds, flu, rash, etc., are due to your cell-mediated immunity trying to expel infected cells from your body. These reactions are essential to maintain a healthy body. However, If your body encounters a pathogen that it remembers from the past, it can deal with it without you experiencing a cold or a flu.

Every cell in your body has your name on it, so to speak, almost like an individual code. That is because every person is totally unique. Hence your body will recognise foreign cells as an enemy to be removed as soon as possible. This is how humanity has survived for thousands of years.

However, if you introduce a vaccine containing cell lines from another human or an animal, this confuses and disrupts your cell-mediated immunity, which is your first line of defence.

Eventually with enough vaccines and foreign cell lines injected into you, your body no longer relies on its cell-mediated immunity but relies instead only on humoral immunity developing antibodies. This is precisely the goal of vaccines and what they are meant to do.

There is also a school of thought that by injecting substances directly into the body via a vaccine, this completely bypasses the cell-mediated immune system, which is stimulated when you breathe in or ingest a pathogen naturally. By injecting vaccines directly into the body, it starts to rely entirely on its humoral immunity, which is less effective.

With too many vaccines, the cell-mediated immunity becomes repressed and can no longer ward off invaders, so acute disease is replaced by heightened antibody responses. The person then becomes susceptible to countless chronic diseases instead, such as allergies, asthma, eczema, Crohn's, colitis, etc. We haven't eradicated disease with vaccines but merely replaced them with chronic conditions, for which there may be no effective cure.

In patients with autoimmune disorders, the immune system cannot tell the difference between healthy body tissues and antigens that need to be attacked. The result is an immune response which destroys normal body tissues.

Dr. Harold Buttram states the following:-

"Prior to the introduction of vaccines, the Th1 cellular immune system of the gastrointestinal and respiratory systems served as the primary defence systems with the Th2 humoral immune system in the bone marrow, serving a secondary role. There is a school of thought that the "minor childhood diseases" of earlier times, including measles, mumps, chicken pox, and rubella, which involved the epithelial tissues of skin, respiratory, and/or gastrointestinal tracts, served a necessary purpose in challenging, strengthening, and establishing the dominance of Th1 cellular immune system during early childhood."

"Current vaccines against these diseases, in contrast, being directed at stimulating antibody production in the bone marrow, are bypassing the cellular immune system and thereby tending to reverse the roles of the cellular and humoral systems, with the former suffering from a lack of challenge. In addition, the cellular immune system is being further compromised by the powerfully immunosuppressive effects of the MMR vaccine. The time is overdue to totally rethink and redirect our current childhood vaccine program."

Augmented NAC Removes 99% of Spike Proteins

2025-09-20T09:16:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Many people use ordinary NAC but recently it has been discovered that using Augmented NAC removes 99% of the C19 vax spike proteins and reverses the damage from the vaccine. Although standard NAC is beneficial, it has limited absorption and is less effective for reaching brain cells. The Augmented NAC is a superior form of NAC.

Dr. Tina Peers, a UK General Practitioner, explains how and why it works and how she gives it to all her affected patients. She says most of the negative physical symptoms they experienced after the C19 vax disappeared when they starting taking Augmented NAC and she recovered health. She states that all of her own symptoms reversed and she intends to continue taking it on a regular basis. You can listen to this video of Dr. Peers explaining everything to Dr. John Campbell.

But Augmented NAC does even more than remove the self-replicating spike proteins from the Covid 19 vaccine.

According to the People's Health Alliance, Augmented NAC reduces oxidative stress by boosting glutathione and dopamine, protects brain cells from damage by regulating neurotransmitters, thereby supporting mental clarity and emotional stability. It enhances mitochondrial function, boosting brain energy and focus. It supports neuroplasticity improving memory and learning and aids mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety and OCD. It is very useful in cases of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases as well. This was shown in a 2020 study published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience. Also a 2021 review in Neuroscience & Biobehavioural Reviews also confirmed NAC's ability to regulate dopamine and suggests its potential for reducing ADHD symptoms and improving cognitive performance.

In addition it is excellent for heart health and one person claims it has cured their heart condition which was functioning at 45% and attained 100%! Augmented NAC supports cardiovascular health by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, which are the two key drivers of heart disease. By boosting glutathione, the body's master antioxidant, it protects blood vessels from damage and reduces arterial stiffness. It also lowers homocysteine levels, a known risk factor for heart disease, thereby decreasing the chance of strokes and heart attacks.

Studies have shown that NAC enhances nitric acid production which helps regulate blood pressure and circulation. In addition, evidence suggests that it may reduce the risk of blood clots as well.

However, to many people, finding something that genuinely removes the C19 self replicating spike protein is a truly wonderful thing. So many have been damaged by that vaccine and millions killed by it. I have been hearing that Augmented NAC is the very best product to remove this dangerous time bomb in people's bodies.

The only other one I have heard of which also removes spike proteins is American Dr. Peter McCullough's The Wellness Company product called the Ultimate Spike Detox, which contains selenium, curcumin, bromelain, nattokinase, black seed extract, black pepper and dandelion but I personally believe, from reports I have heard, that Augmented NAC is better. Do make sure you if you buy it, that it is the one in the picture at the top of this article, as that is the correct one.

UK shoppers can order Augmented NAC with 10% off. See the end of the article HERE.

Zeolite Detoxes Heavy Metals

2025-08-01T07:53:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Zeolite is a substance which forms when volcanic lava meets seawater. It forms very porous small cages with a unique charge within the cage and on the surface. This charge occurs when the minerals from the seawater lock into the structure and transform from molten rock to beneficial mineral. Zeolites gain and lose water reversibly without changing the crystalline structure, becoming molecular sieves.

Zeolite adsorbs and binds toxins, releasing radicals and heavy metals from the body and excretes them, thus boosting the immune system. This means that it does not enter the cells of the body but merely attaches to them (as opposed to absorb). It also balances the pH of the body, creating an environment where foreign cells cannot live.

As Zeolite has a negative charge it is drawn like a magnet to toxins, pesticides, radiation and heavy metals which have a positive charge and sucks them up into its structure.

Many serious illnesses are associated with the build up of heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, etc., and Zeolite will detox these out of the body. We are constantly exposed to heavy metals, radiation and other types of industrial waste in our environment, causing harm to the body and making it become acidic. In addition this can eventually cause cell death when cell membranes become clogged and suffocate.

Zeolite is also a highly effective Antioxidant because it neutralises free radicals. Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with unpaired electrons, which are highly reactive and can do a great deal of damage to cells when they come into contact with tissues, DNA and cell membranes, making cells malfunction or die. Zeolite absorbs the entire free radical preventing it from causing further damage to adjacent cells. Therefore Zeolite is believed to be one of the most important substances for maintaining health.

This is why Zeolite is excellent for the gut and digestive system. Also for the liver and kidneys because of its ability to purify and it will also boost your immune system. There is no healing crisis or sick feelings when taking Zeolite. This is because it has a strong structure which protects the bond between the Zeolite and the toxins, so nothing leaks out.

Anyone can take Zeolite as it has no adverse effect and is non toxic. If you have a chronic illness, it is best to take it three times a day at first but otherwise can be taken once a day. It depends upon the toxicity of the body but most people have high levels of heavy metal toxicity and it is likely to be connected with numerous health issues.

There are different types of Zeolite and not all are good quality. Some Zeolite may not have a high level of purity through contamination of the soil. I buy the Kiki Health one which is an excellent brand that I thoroughly recommend. I do not see the Zeolite capsules on the Kiki Health website, which may have to be purchased through another company. They do sell the Zeolite powder or Zeolite with Activated Charcoal powder. Americans can probably find a good brand.

The best type should be the Zeolite-Clinoptilolite.

Touchstone Essentials make Zeolite drops or a Zeolite spray which can be sprayed into small children's drinks and they will not taste it, as a means of giving it to them. Older children can probably take the drops which are cheaper. This can be very effective to remove heavy metals due to vaccines and many people highly recommend doing this for children who are vaccine damaged. There have been truly astonishingly excellent life changing results reported!

Dangers of Calcium Supplements

2025-05-21T07:31:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

I have written about my friend who took calcium supplements for at least 20 years and the terrible side effects she experienced, becoming so stiff she could hardly move. See here. Even so, she took only natural calcium supplements, not pharmaceutical ones.

When people are diagnosed with osteoarthritis or osteoporosis, the doctor is very quick to prescribe calcium supplements. I have heard that the pharmaceutical calcium supplements have made some people feel very unwell. The natural health calcium supplements are better.

The truth is that in fact our bones are made up of 12 minerals, including Calcium, that is Boron, Chromium, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium, Phosphorus, Selenium, Sulphur, Silica and Zinc!

However, apart from young children, adults do not need to take any calcium supplements because there is calcium in literally every single food we eat! It is not just dairy products but fruit and vegetables as well. Since the knowledge of vitamin and mineral content in foods has been lost or never taught, people are in ignorance of it. As mentioned in my dieting article, the book by Adele Davis 'Let's Get Well' lists all the vitamin and mineral content of foods at the back and is very interesting to know.

I have also heard that old people given calcium supplements by their doctors become extremely stiff and unable to move. The truth is that as we age we have more calcium in our bodies, not less. This is why there are so many stiff elderly people around.

I would advise not taking calcium supplements at all, as there should be sufficient in your diet.

Those people who have been taking them and become stiff, should try to detox the calcium by taking a calcium chelator, either EDTA, Chanca Piedra (an Amazonian herb known as 'Stonebreaker') or DMSO. They also say apple cider vinegar helps. The homeopathic remedy Calc. Fluor also removes excess calcium and should be taken in a very low potency, such as the 12x.

It is quite common for doctors giving people routine X rays, to see calcium deposits present.

My friend was so stiff, almost unable to move from taking calcium for so many years after incorrect advice from a practitioner, that it has taken her five years to clear the calcium build up and this has been a heavy load for her kidneys to detox. Of course there is the obvious danger of kidney stones as well, which can be broken down and removed with Chanca Piedra. Chanca Piedra is also good for the kidneys.

The answer for strong bones is vitamin D3 in a sensible dose (2,000 i.u. a day), Vitamin K2, Magnesium, Zinc and a teaspoon of food grade Diatomaceous earth in water gives lots of Silica, which is a bone strengthener. The Diatomaceous earth also kills intestinal parasites! The other minerals that make up bones should be in your super multi vitamin if you are taking the right ones. I use Mercola Wholefood Complex with added Multivitamin plus vital Minerals for Women.

In addition, be careful not to take very high dose Vitamin D3 as it will pull calcium out of your bones, which will add to the calcium load. It must always be taken with Vitamin K2.

So please advise any elderly friends or relatives not to take these calcium supplements, which are often handed out by doctors like sweeties!

DMSO, the Safe and Effective Miracle Drug for Arthritis, Pain and Disability!

2025-05-08T07:51:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

DMSO or Dimethyl Sulfoxide, was discovered and used in the 1970s and 1980s. Doctors raved about its success in a large number of conditions but the FDA, worried about Pharma drug sales, got it banned! This has happened with a variety of other safe and healing natural medicines.

It has recently made a big comeback and people are finding it cures a very wide range of conditions, such as severe arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, chronic back injuries that lead to disability. It is a very effective and safe painkiller.

DMSO works for headaches, neck and back pain and strains, sprained ankles. It effectively heals the joints in rheumatoid arthritis. Hip joint problems could take a little longer as the blood circulation does not get into these large joints as easily, so it is better to rub DMSO on the hips directly. However knee pain can be dramatically healed. It relaxes the muscles.

It is recommended to take immediately after a stroke, as it significantly increases blood circulation around the body.

DMSO removes edema and excess fluid around the body, particularly in the joints. Although the FDA banned it, it did recommend it for interstitial cystitis.

It works miraculously for osteoarthritis and for all chronic pain and disability, sometimes producing dramatic healing after use and has a 80-90% success rate!

In over 60 years of use by millions of people, DMSO has never been linked to a single death!

It is therefore far better to take DMSO as a painkiller, than NSAIDS or opioids, which are very dangerous and have killed thousands.

It is highly effective for healing wounds, making it very popular with sportsmen and women and creates healthy scars (actually removing excess scar tissue).

DMSO can be rubbed on the skin for any sore or stiff parts of the body but it can also be taken safely by mouth, as one small teaspoon per day, thereby reaching all parts of the body internally. You can mix a small teaspoon of DMSO with apple juice or juice of your choice, which will take away the slightly bitter taste. You can probably increase the amount you take over time, to one teaspoon twice a day.

There is an unusual side effect of DMSO and that is a faint smell of garlic is produced by the body when you first start using it but which over time and frequent use, will disappear. That's okay if you like the smell of garlic but the many benefits outweigh this!

You can buy the Organic one by Regency Organics (pictured) in different sizes.

DMSO is also a solvent, which can remove painful calcium deposits by liquifying the calcium for excretion in the urine, rather than removing them as calcium crystals, which can aggravate the kidneys and bladder. By liquifying the calcium deposits, they can be removed from the body more gently. A great number of people have excess calcium in their system, causing painful stiffness and calcium deposits are frequently picked up on X rays.

To read the full research on DMSO including a large number of studies, this is an excellent treatise on the subject by A Midwestern Doctor, who writes on a variety of medical subjects.

DMSO is a Miraculous Therapy for Chronic Pain and Musculoskeletal Injuries

How to Lose Weight Naturally by Eating a Healthy Diet

2025-04-13T09:18:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

There have been thousands of articles written on this subject but I would like to tell you what I did to get slim and stay slim!

When I was a teenager in the mid-1960s, there was a fashion model icon named Twiggy, who was terribly thin and we female teenagers all wanted to look like her! Years later, I realised that being so thin was actually not at all attractive and in fact quite ugly. It made us look as though we were suffering from malnutrition and many girls became ill on the extreme diets they went on!

These diets very often consisted of starving ourselves to achieve the impossible goal of skinniness. Unfortunately I found out that they used to do that to pigs to fatten them up. In other words if you go on a starvation diet and lose weight very fast, you will not only put all that weight back on, but you will put on even more weight than before! It is very foolish to do this.

I understand some people for different reasons decide to go on a fast in order to detox their bodies, where they just drink water and eat fruit. In the short term there is nothing wrong with this, as long as it does not continue for more than a few days. I am talking about women who want to be very thin and starve themselves to achieve this.

For many years after Twiggy was in Vogue, the fashion for thin women continued. It was a pity to lose all those feminine curves. For older women, this kind of diet can have an aging effect on their faces.

So on the starvation diet, I would lose weight fast and then of course my willpower would desert me, I would be really hungry and I would put all the weight back on plus more! I also noticed that every time I did this, the weight would come off more slowly than the time before.

Anyway, I realised that if I was going on all these starvation diets, I really needed to know which super healthy low calorie foods I should be eating. I came across this book, Let's Get Well by Adele Davis, which is still available today. At the back it lists every food and which vitamins and minerals they all contain. This helped me to make sure I was getting enough of them on my low calorie diet.

It is very bad for your body to yoyo like this, as your stomach shrinks when you starve yourself and expands when you overeat. Yet the body thrives on a regular diet with regular meal times, where the size of your stomach remains constant and you always know when you have eaten enough. This is the first goal you need to achieve, where you never overeat and you have no desire to do so. Try eating more slowly, as this will help and also is much better for your digestion.

Eventually after years of dieting and counting calories (!) one day I realised that all I had to do if I wanted to be slim, was to simply eat Natural Foods. This means no synthetic or processed foods whatsoever.

So you can eat meat, fish, seafood, eggs, all cheeses, all vegetables including potatoes, all salad foods, all fruits, all nuts. (This is not a Keto diet!) For people who want to eat bread, yes, you can. Just eat sourdough bread which is very digestible and more healthy than other breads. If you buy organic whole wheat flour, you can maybe make your own bread. I only eat butter and have never eaten margarine, which I do not recommend.

In addition, you can have chocolate but only the very dark at least 70% chocolate and I eat the Green & Black one, but I only have about 3 small squares of it after supper. In the old days, I would want to eat the whole bar but I learnt to remind myself, that if I had a little, there would still be lots left for tomorrow!

You can also have a glass of red or white wine but only one glass or one beer. It is horrible having to give up everything for a diet! That's what puts people off!

If you desperately want cake, you can make one with organic whole wheat flour but without very sweet icing on it. Refined white sugar is bad for us and I only use organic Coconut Sugar, which is great and I use it if I make a banana cake. Even brown sugar is basically just dyed white sugar!

The problem with most of our biscuits, cakes and bread is that it is made with genetically modified flour, which is not at all good for your body. I buy organic digestive biscuits. If you are in the UK you can get them from Waitrose made by Dove Farm. This brand also makes spelt flour, and I still need to try making a spelt loaf, as it is delicious. In the UK you can get Duchy whole wheat organic flour from Waitrose but you can also get these things from a good independent health shop.

Yes, I know these things are more expensive but remember you are going to be eating less! What you put in your body is so important because you literally are what you eat!

Start to seriously identify which is real food and which is not. You will find that eating these real foods will fill you up and they are healthy and good for you. They contain vitamins and minerals necessary for your body. In the 1950s and before that, most people were slim because they all ate real food, as most of their food was anyway organic. It was only in the 1990s that genetically modified fruits and vegetables started to be grown.

However, the point I am trying to make is that a diet doesn't mean you have to give up everything you like eating! It always seemed that way to me in the past. You can have the things you like but just make sure you get the organic version and you do need to train yourself not to eat too much.

Now I always make a joke that if everything in the supermarket was priced in relation to how many vitamins and minerals were in it, most of the products would be free! Sadly our foods and drinks are full of very nasty additives, which our bodies do not know how to break down or digest and they often end up as excess fat.

Diet coke is an example. It is full of aspartame, which is very bad for you and it does not help you to lose weight. In fact most people I know who take it are fatter than ever, so it makes me wonder. In addition I met a diet coke addict who ended up in a wheelchair. All the so called Soda drinks are full of sugar and unfortunately we really should not be drinking them, as sugar feeds cancer or causes diabetes. Better to drink mineral water or pure fruit juice mixed with mineral water.

There are laboratories that make food flavourings, additives, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, dyes, amino acids. Many of these are not at all good to eat and bad for the body. They come in lots of products in the supermarket, especially heat up meals and jars of sauce. Some of these additives have been created to be addictive because the food companies want you to keep buying their products!

Be careful with crisps, as they are coated with food flavourings, which are often artificial. Food flavouring is a growing industry used to enhance the taste and sensory experience of foods and beverages.

You can have pasta but I would avoid pizza which has lots of additives. If you make pasta, try to buy the organic pasta and I do not eat any of the pasta sauces in bottles. You do not know what additives are in them. It is quite easy to make a pasta sauce using tomato juice as a base and adding tomatoes or vegetables. I do add basil pesto to mine, as well as olives and even grated cheese. For cheese, try to not to buy the very processed types. Of course Parmesan cheese is lovely with pasta, you don't need much and it will last for ages in the fridge.

Unfortunately if you want to eat healthily, you will need to cook things from scratch yourself, so then you know exactly what is in your meals!

Things don't always have to be expensive. You can make an aubergine curry by frying the pieces in coconut oil and then putting the curry ingredients in. Again, I use a good quality tomato juice for the sauce. I buy organic brown rice to eat with curry, which is very nutritious and full of vitamin B for the nerves.

You can also make soups by boiling up vegetables, blending them, then adding salt, pepper, even a bit of organic cream! I buy organic Kallo stock cubes.

One of my favourite health foods is avocado and I often spread it on a piece of sourdough toast with butter and a little salt. I always feel so well after eating it. Make sure your butter comes from cows with no dangerous Bovaer in their diet. I emailed to find out and get Castle Dairies butter from Waitrose, which is delicious.

Sometimes I make a mozzarella salad with slices of avocado and slices of tomatoes. I then chop fresh basil over it and add sundried tomatoes finely chopped. Salt, black pepper, olive oil and a dash of balsamic vinegar make it an absolutely delicious meal!

For salt, never use table salt which contains anti-caking agent and is very bad for us. I use Himalayan crystal salt but sea salt or Celtic salt is also good.

We are told to avoid seed oils, which are very bad for us, people use them for cooking and they come in lots of different products. I only use a good quality olive oil for frying and cooking, except when I use coconut oil.

Yoghourt is delicious but I am very wary of the fruit yoghourts, which contain high fructose corn syrup. I buy organic plain full fat Greek yoghourt, add a teaspoon of organic strawberry jam (or whatever jam you like best), stir it in and there is your fruit yoghourt that you know exactly what is in it. Takes only a minute to make. I don't worry about 'full fat' products. We need fat and it is not fattening!

If you have a party or want to make a quick dip to eat with your kettle crisps, here are some of the dips I make, which are very quick and easy.

Put a few tablespoons of organic Greek yoghourt into a bowl, crush a couple garlic cloves in and add some fine Himalayan crystal salt. Stir and it is delicious if you like garlic!

If you like blue cheese. Put a few tablespoons of organic Greek yoghourt into a bowl, add blue cheese, especially St. Augur which is very soft, a tiny bit of salt and stir it well. Absolutely divine dip!

You can make the yoghourt dip with a teaspoon of Indian Lime Pickle, using only the sauce of it, not the actual pieces of lime. Stir the yoghourt and Lime Pickle sauce and you have a lovely curry dip!

I also make a dip with good quality cream cheese and smoked salmon cut very finely in, with a touch of salt.

None of the above are fattening, except perhaps the cream cheese, although that contains no carbohydrates.

Also the dips you buy in supermarkets are full of nasty weird ingredients and nearly always seem to add sugar! The ones above are delicious and pure, much nicer!

As regards milk, we buy the organic whole milk containing cream. The ordinary kind may contain hormones given to the cows. I do like my Earl Grey tea with milk and put one small teaspoon of coconut sugar in it.

I know it is like a minefield trying to avoid dangerous foodstuffs but over time you will get good at it! Getting the Adele Davis book above is a good start, especially if you want to know which foods contain the most vitamins and minerals!

The worst thing about dieting is feeling as though you have to go without, but later you will realise clearly that some of the things you have been eating, are horrible and bad for you. Dieting can mean that you think of nothing else but food, which makes it more difficult. Once you are in the right habits that will stop.

I would also recommend not weighing yourself every day but maybe once a week. It can become obsessive. Better to judge your weight loss by how your clothes fit!

So the way to get slim and stay slim is basically avoid all synthetic, processed or junk food. Eat only real food and try not to overeat. This way you will lose the kilos slowly (which is the best way to keep them off for good) and eventually reach your target weight. You will also feel much better if you eat healthy food. It doesn't have to be boring and you don't have to feel deprived. Eventually, it will become a way of life and then you will always be slim!

How to Effectively Remove Excess Scar Tissue

2025-04-06T09:26:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

I remember my Mother telling me that years ago she was advised by a nurse to beware of Adhesions, which was basically scar tissue that can block the bodies natural processes. My Mother had abdominal surgery a couple of times and adhesions or scar tissue can block the digestive tract and be very dangerous. This of course would mean repeat surgery when it happens.

For those people who have had Caesareans, instead of natural birth, it will be true for you as well.

There is a wonderful little homeopathic remedy called THIOSINAMINUM that very quickly dissolves scar tissue and will remove any blockage and pain almost immediately when you take it. In fact I did have to give my Mother this remedy when the doctors thought there was a blockage in her digestive system and it worked perfectly!

Unfortunately over 30 years ago, I was forced into having a Caesarean for my second child and the scar tissue can thicken over time. I have frequently used this remedy when I felt pain or blockage under and around the surgical wound.

The other night I felt a very sharp pain which I located as under my Caesarean scar, quickly took the Thiosinaminum 6c remedy and the pain and presumably the blockage disappeared very fast! Homeopathy works really quickly when you take the right remedy! But it could have escalated into a major emergency if I had not got this remedy to hand.

As scar tissue is considered to be on a gross physical level, I take a low potency, so I recommend buying Thiosinaminum 6c. This is the best potency to use.

With homeopathy you take low potencies 6c or 30c, possibly 200c for physical ailments and much higher potencies for solely emotional and mental problems - 200c, 1m, 10m. (1m = 1000c. 10m = 10,000c).

Of course you do need scar tissue for the body to repair any surgical wound but it is only if it starts to become excessive that it will cause problems.

It is a very good idea to buy the Thiosinaminum 6c to have in case you ever have this problem because it can happen at the most inconvenient times and be very painful. You simply have to establish the fact that the pain is located around and coming from under your scar inside your body, which is not that difficult to do.

According to the Homeopathic Materia Medica books Thiosinaminum also works for enlarged glands, lupus, strictures of rectum, opacities of the cornea, cataracts, fibroids and scleroderma.

"Especially good for arterio-sclerotic vertigo, tinnitus, catarrhal deafness with cicatricial thickening, formation of fibrous bands impeding free movement of the ossicles. Thickened ear drum. Deafness due to some fibrous change in the nerve." (Homeopathic Materia Medica with Repertory, by William Boericke, MD.)

Thiosinaminum is a chemical called Allyl sulphocarbamide derived from oil of mustard seed. Trituration of the crystals.

Essential Children's First Aid Remedies

2025-03-22T10:26:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

There are certain remedies that are extremely useful in an emergency and you should keep in your bathroom cupboard when your child has an accident.

The first of these is ARNICA. You can get the Arnica cream to apply to the skin for bruises but the homeopathic Arnica remedy is far more effective. Buy Arnica 200c and Arnica 30c, depending on how serious the accident.

For a very bad bruise to the soft tissue, i.e. thighs, buttocks, abdomen give one dose of the 200c potency.

If your child has a bad head injury, Arnica is invaluable, even if slightly concussed. Arnica 200c is the first remedy to be given in any head injury. It will bring up the bump and then heal it very quickly.

Arnica 30c is also the remedy for a sprained ankle, for a pulled muscle as well. It can also be given for whiplash in a car accident. It is a very versatile remedy!

You will find that children love taking homeopathic remedies, as they taste nice and sweetish, are very small and do not need to be swallowed, just sucked! For this reason they might want to take more! It is very important not to give more than one 200c but two 30c can be given. The point is when the remedies work, no more need to be given as homeopathic remedies keep working long after they are taken.

For blows to the actual bones, you will need Ruta Grav 30c. For example once a child had a hard ball hit her nose and she was better very quickly with Ruta Grav and when I say quickly for Arnica and Ruta, I mean within a few hours!

For broken bones or just a fracture of the bone, you can give Symphytum 200c and the bone will knit together fast. Symphytum is the herb Comfrey or Knitbone, made into a homeopathic remedy.

For less serious bumps and blows you can rub the Bach Flower Rescue Remedy Cream on them, which works very well.

Bach Flower Rescue Remedy Cream can be used for burns. Rub the cream on thickly and there will be no mark on the skin from the burn.

Rescue Remedy Cream is also very good for insect bites. One friend of mine was stung by an African bee in South Africa and I had given her a tube of the cream. It was a Sunday and she tried everything, then used the cream which worked perfectly, giving great relief and healed the sting.

Rescue Remedy Cream will get rid of the itchiness after any insect bite.

Rescue Remedy Cream is excellent for Chicken Pox! When the spots have come up and then become extremely itchy. I found it much better for children than old fashioned calamine lotion that was used in the past. If you put the cream on the spots, they will not be itchy and therefore not scratched, which would leave a small lifelong scar.

Aromatherapy Lavender Oil is another absolutely invaluable thing to have in your first aid cupboard! If your child has a bad cut which is bleeding, get them to the bathroom, drop about 8 drops of lavender oil into the wash basin or bath. Fill it with warm water. Get cotton wool or a wad of cosmetic pads. Soak this in the lavender water and bathe the cut. So the lavender is Antiseptic and will kill off all germs. It should stop the bleeding. You will find the next day the cut is almost completely healed. Lavender heals really fast! Also it is very soothing for your child to breathe in. It will calm your child down after the fright of the injury.

For a wound which is bleeding profusely, you can give the homeopathic remedy Calendula 30c or you can apply Calendula cream on it. Calendula is also Antiseptic and kills germs. It will stop the bleeding.

Likewise if you have a fractious, bad tempered or over excited child, before bedtime you can run a bath and drop some lavender drops in it and this will calm your child down and help them sleep better.

If your child falls heavily on their coccyx at the end of the spine, bangs their elbow hard or injures it, or crushes their finger tips in the door, the remedy is the big one for Nerve damage, which is Hypericum 30c. The coccyx, elbows and finger tips are places rich in nerve endings.

Splinters will come out very quickly if you give one dose of Silicea 6c. I have seen them come out within 5 minutes of taking this remedy, which ejects foreign objects from the body. NOT to be used on people who have metal fastenings or hip operations or any foreign object in their body, as the Silicea will try to push them out!

For a child that has repeated blood tests requiring needles, you can give them Ledum 6c, which is a remedy for puncture wounds and it will heal up the needle wounds speedily.

You will find these things are quick and effective and much better than dragging your already traumatised child to Accident & Emergency at the hospital and possibly left to wait for hours. These things can be dealt with quickly at home. Of course for serious accidents, it is obviously necessary to go and see a doctor immediately.

Black Seed Oil's Astonishing Number of Health Benefits!

2025-03-02T07:00:00.000-08:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

I have heard such amazing things about Black Seed Oil, that I really wanted to write about its astonishing number of uses! I once read that it will cure everything except death and is referred to as 'the seed of blessing'!

I have not tried it yet, unlike everything else on my blog, but have just ordered it and will update this article as soon as I start using it and feeling the reported benefits! (**See end). I have ordered the Organic Black Seed Oil made by Kiki Health (pictured), a brand which I use and which I recommend. It was available on Amazon and due today, so I am quite excited!

Black Seed Oil has been used in the Middle East for centuries and is native to Eastern Europe, Western Asia and the Mediterranean region. It is a supplement extracted from Nigella Sativa seeds, also known as black cumin. It originates as a flowering shrub that produces fruits which contain tiny black seeds that are squeezed to extract the oil. The oil contains the phytochemical Thymoquinone and this has antioxidant properties that help rid the body of harmful free radicals.

This oil is a natural remedy that will boost your overall health and well being. It is a powerful elixir and is full of nutrients and bioactive compounds that will benefit your body from head to toe. It contains essential fatty acids omega 3, 6 and 9, vitamins A, C and several B vitamins, as well as calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium.

One of the top reasons to take it is that it strengthens your immune system and keeps your body's natural defences strong, stimulating the production of T-cells and natural killer cells, which fight infection and disease. It will cure sore throats in a natural way as well as inflamed tonsils by mixing honey and black seed oil in water and gargling twice a day as well as rubbing the warm oil on chest and throat.

It reportedly lowers blood sugar, so may help benefit people with type 2 diabetes and there have been clinical trials on this. It treats arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis as well as other inflammatory conditions such as heart disease. It reportedly is extremely good for those with any cancerous state, including lymphoma and leukemia.

Black seed oil is an effective treatment for seizures that cause epilepsy because it is anti-convulsant.

It is also useful for asthma, improving lung function and allergies. For asthma, you can mix ten drops in two litres of boiling water in a large bowl and put a towel over your head to inhale the mixture.

It is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antihistaminic, antibacterial, antimicrobial, analgesic and is an immune modulator. In addition when applied directly to the skin mixed with either olive oil or coconut oil, it improves acne and also helps psoriasis and eczema. It apparently assists weight loss!

Data supports the benefits of using powdered Nigella sativa to improve Hashimoto's thyroiditis and it also is good for the health of your heart by lowering cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as lowering blood pressure.

Digestive issues like bloating, constipation, acid reflux or heartburn have also responded to black seed oil, keeping the gut healthy with its digestive supporting properties. It reduces inflammation in the gut if you have inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome, stimulating bile flow and enzyme secretion, thereby aiding nutrient absorption. It has a laxative effect on constipation, promoting regular bowel movements and eradicating harmful gut bacteria like H. pylori which can cause ulcers and gastritis.

In addition, it supports brain health as it contains neuroprotective compounds and the thymoquinone reduces inflammation in the brain linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. It even reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety!

Black seed oil has very potent anti-inflammatory properties and will quell the flames of inflammation in your body. This is because of the thymoquinone which inhibits pro-inflammatory enzymes and cytokines like COX-2, 5-LOX, TNF-alpha and IL-6.

As if all this isn't enough, one study showed that men with infertility who took it for 2 months had significant improvements in their sperm count, motility and morphology compared to a placebo group and found that testosterone levels were increased.

For ladies, black seed oil significantly improves menstrual cramps and pain, as well as regulating their cycle, due to its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effects. It also fights infections like Candida as it is a potent antimicrobial agent, fighting off a wide range of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.

People say that black seed oil improves the health of their skin and aids hair growth and it is helpful for those with dry skin because of the nourishing vitamins A, B and EFA. It can help remove surgical scars naturally and can be applied directly on them (and presumably stretch marks after pregnancy?) For people with sensitive skin you can dilute it with olive oil or coconut oil before applying it to your skin and hair.

Another fun fact is black seed oil is very effective for insect bites If you have been bitten by a mosquito or a bee, you can apply the oil on it for immediate effect.

It will relieve earache and toothache. For earache, mix a teaspoon of olive oil with a teaspoon of black seed oil, warm the mixture and drip 4 or 5 drops into the affected ear with a dropper. Then put a scarf over your head and ear. For toothache, soak a cotton wool ball into the oil and press over the affected tooth.

The recommended dosage of the oil is 1 to 5 grams by mouth per day for 4-12 weeks and for the powder 1 to 2 grams by mouth daily for 8 to 12 weeks. You can mix the oil with fruit juice or mix into food. It can be applied topically as an oil to your chest and throat if you feel a cold or flu coming on. You can also mix the oil with a teaspoon of honey to eat.

Further uses are as follows: Helps prevent gallstones, hemorrhoids, headache and migraine, anemia, stimulates urine production and treats bladder and prostate problems, bronchitis, insomnia, improves eye vision, treats Hepatitis C virus, soothes burns.

As usual, care must be taken if you are taking prescription medicines as they may not interact well. Pregnant women should not consume black seed oil as it can slow down or stop uterus contraction in labour. Patients with blood disorders should avoid using this oil as it can result in blood clot formation, (although you can take Serrapeptase daily to dissolve blood clots). Those with low blood pressure should be careful as it could lower blood pressure too much. People with diabetes should not consume too much black seed oil as it can lower sugar levels too far. Do not use before or after surgery.

The above information was taken from articles about black seed oil on Yandex.com, a search engine that does not screen out natural health websites, unlike others!

** I started taking it on 2nd March and initially took one teaspoon per day straight off the spoon with nothing mixed. It has a funny taste, slightly bitter and leaves the tongue feeling sweet. On 4th March I started taking one teaspoon morning and night, which I think was a bit too much for me and perhaps one teaspoon a day is enough, as it is very powerful. The first thing I noticed was my lungs felt clearer and my limbs lighter, with more energy. It seems to work as a messenger for all systems of the body simultaneously. I would definitely recommend it.

Natural Health Practitioners Cheer, as RFK Jr. Sworn in as HHS Secretary!

2025-02-15T09:15:00.000-08:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

On 13th February 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was finally sworn in as the 26th Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services under the new Trump administration. He had undergone some gruelling sessions, especially by Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee on 29 January, who were anxious about their gravy train coming to an end.

The Senate vote was 52-48, with not one Democrat or Independent voting for him and the only Republican to vote against was Senator Mitch McConnell.

You can watch the entire wonderful swearing in ceremony HERE.

Kennedy promised "radical transparency and returning gold standard science to the NIH, FDA and CDC" and said he would "end the corruption and corporate capture of those agencies". He is adamant that the chronic epidemic of childhood disease in America must be halted and intends to uncover all the reasons behind it.

He has vowed to Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) and he plans to end the financial conflicts of interest that lead to compromised science, as many in high positions had previously worked for Pharma.

To that end, he has also announced that he intends to end the collusion between medical boards, medical journals and Big Pharma, where independent studies showing harms for pharmaceuticals and vaccines are suppressed. He also wants to end pharmaceutical advertising on television.

He has already announced that he intends to make sure VAERS, (the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), will be updated regularly, as currently only 1% of adverse reactions are ever being reported.

RFK, Jr. will now be applying 'honest, unbiased gold standard science' including new studies on vaccines, so that we can all finally find out how 'safe and effective' they are. Parents all over America are welcoming this move, so they can make sensible decisions for their children's health. At last vaccine mandates will no longer be enforced in schools, as President Trump is banning these and now all over America the Covid19 vaccination is also being ended.

He will be in charge of a $1.8 trillion budget, the largest in government.

Kennedy himself is a fitness expert and works out using weights, treadmill and bodyweight exercises. He also believes in eating a very healthy diet.

RFK, Jr. will also be banning fluoride in water, which has been responsible for much ill health including osteoporosis and arthritis and he will be taking on the big food corporates to get additives out of food. He will be promoting healthy diets, away from processed and synthetic foods.

Hopefully he will try to stop the proliferation of genetically modified foods in our diets and vaccines given to farm animals. With the new Agricultural Department there will be more organic foods grown, without pesticides and cancer-causing glyphosate, which should also be banned.

Kennedy has also said he will look into geoengineering weather modification programmes, which are affecting humans and the environment. We have already seen some of these being stopped, such as ones on Atmospheric Research exposed in Elon Musk's DOGE work!

Natural Health Practitioners are now hoping that this will all lead to a resurgence in alternative medicine, such as homeopathy, herbs, ayurvedic and a demand for nutritionists, osteopathy and chiropractic!

In fact the timing couldn't be better, as the Children's Health Defence will be showcasing an excellent film on homeopathy called 'Introducing Homeopathy' on Monday17th February! I believe this is free to watch but you must register on their website, so they can send you the details.

For far too long, Big Pharma has controlled healthcare all over the world. Other healing modalities have been pushed out, blacklisted or banned because they do not want competition. Pharma makes a fortune if you are on a drug for life, which for many is often the case. Unlike pharmaceutical medicine, many natural substances and medicines like homeopathy, actually do cure people, so there is no need for medical drugs, which are often totally addictive.

Once people realise the dangers of their prescription drugs, it will hopefully lead to a renaissance in the natural health industry, with people looking for alternatives. There are literally hundreds of healing plants and herbs that grow around the world that can be used.

There are so many natural cures out there that can help people but these have been censored by Google and if you do a search, you only get the medical websites. So many sick people could be helped if only they had access to the information.

In 1910 a man called Abraham Flexner in collaboration with the Carnegie Foundation, wrote a report entitled 'Medical Education in the United States and Canada', later known as the Flexner Report. This report was responsible for closing down all the homeopathy and herbal colleges. Before then, people only used herbs and homeopathy and there were lots of homeopathic doctors, as well as homeopathic hospitals and pharmacies in America. When the colleges were closed down there were few, if any, people training in these practices and the Rockefeller petroleum based medical industry took over.

However, in the 1980s and 1990s a great worldwide revival of natural medicine took place but Pharma and its PR departments, went into overdrive to smear and attack alternative medicine, which unfortunately succeeded to a large extent.

Now we have reached a point where the people, especially in America, who spend the most on health, are chronically ill due to modern medicine, its vaccines and invasive procedures. Thankfully RFK is determined to get to the bottom of this and the effects of his work will be sure to ripple out around the world!

Homeopathic First Aid Remedies

2024-12-13T06:52:00.000-08:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Since people on Twitter have been talking about avoiding hospitals and treating themselves at home with various things, I decided this morning that I needed to type up the homeopathic first aid remedies. There are a lot of them and they work extremely effectively and often very fast. It will surprise and amaze you how fast!

It would be a good idea to buy a Homeopathic First Aid Kit (pictured). This one here from Ainsworths Homeopathic Pharmacy contains lots of remedies. 42 remedies to be precise. Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy also has a first aid kit but with half as many remedies. The problem is, if you don't have the right remedy in an emergency, it is not much use. That is why I am recommending the Ainsworth one.

There are certain homeopathic medicines that you should always have in your cupboard. Arnica 30c and 200c for blows to the body, falls, first remedy in a head injury, sprains and strains. Then Symphytum 200c for broken bones and fractures, including hairline fractures. Arsenicum Alb 30c is a great remedy for food poisoning but charcoal capsules can help with this too as they remove toxins. You might wonder why Arsenicum is also listed below for burning ulcers! This is because certain well known homeopathic remedies have more than one use.

There are so many homeopathic remedies (around 4,000) and so many different ones for different illnesses, it can be a bit of a maze to understand, but when it comes to first aid, the remedies needed are usually fairly precise. These are all in my Homeopathy Heals book

I will list first aid remedies in alphabetical order by condition:-

Abscess Silicea or Hepar Sulph 30c

Abdominal Surgery/Caesarian Staphysagria orBellis Perennis 200c

Back Strain from Overlifing Rhus Tox 200c

Black Eye/Blow to Eyeball Arnica or Symphytum 200c

Blow to a Bone Ruta Grav.200c

Bowels (no movement) Opium or Hydrastis 200c

Broken Bones/Tendons Symphytum 200c

Bruises to Soft Tissue Arnica 200c

Burns Cantharis 200c or Causticum 30c

Cuts, Bleeding Wounds Calendula 200c

Fever High with Delirium Belladonna 200c

Fever after Cold, Dry Winds Aconite 200c

Food Poisoning vomiting/diarrhoea Arsenicum Alb. 200c

Fractures Symphytum or Calc. Phos. 200c

Frozen Shoulder Ruta Grav. 200c

Genital warts Thuja 200c

Hangover Nux Vomica 200c

Head Injury Concussion Arnica 200c

Incised Wounds (surgery) Staphysagria 200c

Muscle Sprains Arnica 200c

Nerve Injuries Hypericum 200c

Puncture wounds from Needles Ledum 30c

Scar tissue healing Thiosinaminum 12x

Shock/Panic Aconite 1m

Splinters Silicea 6c

Sprained Ankle Arnica 30c

Sunstroke Belladonna 30c

Tennis Elbow Ruta Grav or Rhus Tox 200c

Thrush in mouth Borax 200c

Ulcers burning Arsenicum Alb. 30c

Varicose Veins Hamemelis 200c

Warts on Cervix Calendula 30c x 2

Please note: For Chronic Conditions, please see a qualified, experienced homeopathic practitioner and by law I have to say, or visit your medical doctor. If these remedies are not working, do not repeat them. You will know if they are working!

Make Your Own Face Cream for Dry Skin

2024-12-06T07:53:00.000-08:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

When one of my favourite creams suddenly became unavailable, it gave me the idea of making my own. The cream I make is for very dry skin and can be used for face, hands or body. I thought it would be nice to experiment and mix various natural and pure substances together and see how they turn out!

In addition, I decided to do it because I don't want all the chemicals in virtually all cosmetic face and hand creams. When you rub these toxic creams on your skin, the chemicals go from the skin straight into the bloodstream!

I had some Avocado butter and I decided to use that as the base. I also tried using Shea butter but would not recommend it, as when the cream sets, I notice lots of tiny crunchy bits in the cream. You can use Coconut Oil but in hot weather it goes liquid, in cold it sets. I am thinking of trying cocoa butter next!

I am also going to try using organic Beeswax to help solidify the cream. You can buy it and melt it down as per the instructions below. Apparently lots of people use it in homemade face creams.

The idea is to use something that will solidify when it cools. Then while in a liquid state, drop all the other ingredients in and stir them.

First you need to find an empty plastic pot with lid, about 100 ml in size, or any suitable pot to put the cream mix into.

Then you get a very small saucepan and put about 3 level tablespoons of the Avocado butter, Cocoa butter, or Beeswax. If you use all of these, then one tablespoon of each! Put this on a very low heat until it melts to a liquid (1 on my hob). The point of using these, is they help the cream to became solid when it cools down. If you want to add Coconut Oil, then put it in the saucepan to liquify as well.

Then I stir in the following ingredients into the saucepan.-

1. About 6 drops of Organic Calendula Oil (very healing).

2. About 6 drops of Organic Vitamin E Oil.

3. Tablespoon of Castor Oil.

4. Finally, we need to scent the mixture. For this you should choose an aromatherapy oil. Perhaps you like Lavender, Geranium or choose one that is your favourite smell. I love Rose oil but it is fairly expensive. You can get it for less than £20 though. There is Rose Otto, which I am using and Rose Damask, which is more expensive and the prices go very high for the best quality! Put a few drops of your favourite aromatherapy oil into the saucepan.

When you have all your ingredients in the sauce pan, pour them into the pot. Then put the lid on your pot and leave it for about 5 or 6 hours. When you open the lid you will find it has solidified and can now be used as a face or hand cream.

Once you get used to it, you will find it can be done very quickly. Not more than about 15 minutes to make.

If you search online for making creams, you will find other things that can go in, including almond oil, Jojobo oil, etc. The above are just ideas for ingredients you can use, so choose which you like best but with the hard creams (Avocado, Cocoa butter, Beeswax), you will need to add the other oils to soften the cream. I have found you can buy Mango butter, which I intend to use in my next batch! I found a very good place called The Soapery where you can buy it, as well as lots of other things for home made face and body creams. The Soapery also sells Avocado butter which is hard to find. These butters help to solidify your creams, otherwise they would just be liquid with the added oils.

13.12.25: I have just bought avocado butter from the Soapery www.thesoapery.co.uk It was not a hard and solid cream from them but so creamy, that I have just put it straight into pots and using it as a wonderful hand and body cream! People in the UK can buy it. The prices are amazing. I bought 500 gm for £10.99 including postage! That's half a kilo! It filled two big pots and should last me for awhile. They have lots of different body butters to choose from. I have only tried their Mango butter (more solid) and the Avocado one.

I am still experimenting on and thinking of using organic lanolin in my creams, which comes from sheep's wool. I used it a long time ago when I was young and it was good.

If you buy all the ingredients you can make a great many pots of cream, which in the long term saves a good deal of money! You should experiment if you like doing this and find the best ingredients for yourself.

You also have the peace of mind of knowing that your home made cream has nothing toxic in it and is much safer than the terribly expensive creams for women that are loaded with nasty hidden substances and chemicals.

NB. I use a pot which is about 3 times bigger than the one in the picture above. Mainly I use this cream mix for hands and body.

6.3.25

I recently made a cream of organic lanolin (4 heaped teaspoons), castor oil (one tablespoon), calendula oil (2 teaspoons) and vitamin E oil (one teaspoon) mixed together. You do not need to heat the lanolin but just mix all the ingredients together. It is great for very dry hands, creamy but a bit sticky, so you don't need to use much of it. The cream looks much like the picture at the top but a bit more yellow because of the calendula oil. The point is you can experiment yourselves.

I am thinking of using Apricot Kernel Oil, if I can find a good one.

I also make my own Face Toner. So I wash and dry my face, splash on the toner and then put on my face cream, which is apparently the one that super models are using, as it is so good for eradicating fine lines! This wonderful face cream is made by Weleda and called Weleda Skin Food. You can get in on Amazon.

To make the toner, you will need a 100 ml bottle with a spout, get distilled water, rose water and witch hazel. You can get all those from Amazon or maybe a chemist. You put about 15 ml of witch hazel (which is a natural astringent) into the bottle, then about 30 ml of rose water. Then fill the rest of the bottle up with distilled water. Done! This is great toner for the skin after washing! You can make quite a few bottles of toner with these things and again, at least you know there are no nasty chemicals in it!

This is still very much work in progress!

The Healing Properties of Slippery Elm

2024-10-18T09:08:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Slippery Elm's botanical name is Ulmus Rubra and it is taken from the bark or roots of the Elm tree. It is native to the eastern USA and to Ontario, Canada.

It is what is known as a mucilage, which soothes and coats the mucous membranes in the body, absorbing toxins.

It is extremely beneficial to use for sore throats and respiratory problems, especially bronchitis and chest colds, as it loosens up all the mucus. I had a bad chest cold recently, feeling a bit feverish and not getting better until I took a good homeopathic remedy and also some Slippery Elm for a few days. It soothes the coughing as well.

I remember my Mother used to tell me how my Great Aunt Connie loved using herbs and swore by Slippery Elm around a 100 years ago!

It is also well known for massively easing digestive problems, as well as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and constipation.

Slippery Elm is very good for people with any inflammatory urinary problems such as cystitis, as it soothes the lining of the urinary tract. It also acts as a mild diuretic, increasing urine output and eliminating wastes.

It is considered to be anti-inflammatory and a friend has found it extremely useful for stiffness and arthritis. She says her stiff joints are greatly improved when she takes it, when nothing else works so well for her.

Slippery Elm is good for the skin and is reported to help psoriasis. You can also make a poultice with it to treat wounds, cuts, boils and insect bites.

Slippery Elm tastes a bit like porridge oats, when you mix the powder up with milk, yoghourt or water and eat it. I add a little honey for flavour.

It is very nutritious and contains calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc, Vitamin C, B vitamins and antioxidants.

The indigenous people of North America revered the elm tree and they taught the Europeans how to use the bark for wounds. They say George Washington's troops survived by eating slippery elm for 12 days during the siege at Valley Forge in Pennsylvania in 1777 and if they had not done so, the outcome of the battle would have been very different.

I buy this one.

Boost Your Health with Dandelion Leaves

2024-10-05T08:38:00.000-07:00

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Most people think of a dandelion as a tenacious weed, very hard to dig up, as its roots are strong.

I think of dandelion as an incredible boost to my health and have been picking the leaves, washing them and putting them in a bag in my fridge. They seem to last a long time and stay fresh, even for weeks!

The wonderful thing about picking them from the garden, is that all the nutrients are fresh and unlike most vegetables from the supermarket, they have not been radiated, which effectively destroys those nutrients.

In addition, I have never put weed killer or any kind or pesticide in my garden, so the plants there are especially good quality.

I simply chop the leaves very finely into any salad that I am eating and you can do this with any dish you are having, though salad is probably best.

The nutrients in dandelion are as follows. Vitamins A, C, B6, E and K2, as well as beta carotene, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium and potassium.

Dandelion is known to reduce inflammation in the body, thereby reducing pain and stiffness in joints.

It is used for digestive health and contains inulin, which is a prebiotic fibre. The leaves contain powerful antioxidants which support the immune system and protect from free radicals. In addition the dandelion plant supports liver function and promotes healthy skin.

In Chinese medicine dandelion is used to treat upper respiratory diseases.

Dandelion is a natural diuretic as it contains potassium which counteracts the effects of sodium, the leading cause of fluid build up in the body. It stimulates the kidneys and promotes the excretion of excess fluids.

You can buy dandelion root drops to take instead. Some people eat the dandelion root and even the flowers. You can buy dandelion tea. Other people like to boil the dandelion leaves and eat them instead of spinach.

I prefer to eat the fresh leaves from the garden with all the nutrients intact, even though they do taste a little bitter. As mentioned, if you chop the fresh leaves very finely with a pair of scissors, you will hardly taste them in your salad and be getting the full nutritional value and input.
