UTIs
We can pick up the bacteria of Urinary tract infections (UTIs) at any time. Using public swimming pools is one source of bacteria. Symptoms vary from darkened urine, change of frequency to excruciating pain.
Self- help is my preferred first option and I pass on here how you can do it.

I love physical therapies more and more. There are many to choose from. Vagus nerve stimulation / Nitric Oxide stimulation examples are all over YouTube.

Studies have shown that humming can dramatically boost nitric oxide production in the body, with some research suggesting levels can rise by as much as 1,400% in just 10 seconds. Nitric oxide is a vital signaling molecule that helps relax blood vessels, improving circulation and regulating blood pressure. It’s naturally produced in the brain by neurons, glial cells, and the endothelial cells that line blood vessels.

When you hum, the vibrations create oscillating airflow in your nasal passages. This improves gas exchange between the paranasal sinuses, which generate nitric oxide, and the nasal cavity, allowing more of this beneficial gas to circulate through the body.

The result is a number of health benefits. Higher nitric oxide levels help widen blood vessels, improve oxygen delivery, lower blood pressure, and enhance nutrient transport throughout the body. Regular humming can therefore support heart health, boost physical performance and recovery, sharpen mental function, and strengthen the immune system. It’s a simple, natural practice with surprisingly powerful physiological effects.

FIX INSULIN RESISTANCE by removing vegetable oils and gradually rebuilding carb tolerance — The fastest way to stop wrecking your mitochondria is to eliminate vegetable oils, which are rich in linoleic acid (LA), from your diet. Ditch all vegetable oils, including canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower, and grapeseed.

These fats embed in your cells and block normal energy production. Once you've cleared the worst offenders, start gently feeding your mitochondria again with easy-to-use carbs like fruit and white rice. This isn't about sugar loading — it's about metabolic rehab with the right fuel, in the right form, at the right time.

This is great news and not a moment too soon because children with poor immune systems become adults with poor immune systems and what of their future offsprings?

In the UK vaccines for children are not compulsory. In the US, a compliant American child receives between 69 and 92 from conception to 18 years of age. To be able to attend school. This is up from 11 shots in 1986.

The US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has recommended each of these additional jabs without requiring placebo-controlled trials for any of them. Last week, Secretary of Health Robert Kennedy retired 17 committee members and has replaced them with real scientists, some of whom I know.

Kennedy says “No routine injected vaccine on CDC’s schedule was licensed for children based on a placebo-controlled trial. That is not conjecture. It is a fact based on FDA’s clinical trial data.”

“None of these individuals will be ideological anti-vaxxers.” He says “They will be highly credentialed physicians and scientists who will make extremely consequential public health determinations by applying evidence-based decision-making with objectivity and common sense.

One of these is Martin Kulldorff, a former Harvard professor of biostatistics and an infectious disease epidemiologist originally from Sweden, reports the Guardian.

Kulldorff co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration, which called for limited closures instead of pandemic lockdowns. Before the pandemic, Kulldorff studied vaccine safety and infectious disease, including co-authoring papers with members of the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) staff, on vaccine safety. He was a member of the CDC’s Covid Vaccine Safety Working Group in 2020.He served on the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) drug safety and risk management advisory committee around the same time, says the Guardian.

Another is Professor of neuroscience and psychiatry, Dr Joseph Hibbeln, whose research on the essentially of seafood and omega-3 and its impact on mood and aggression, both hallmarks of autism, is world class. His understanding of brain development and the essential role of nutrients is second to none. He has spoken at one of Food for the Brain’s conferences and I often quote his research.

Those in the free world would balk at the idea that the state can impose injection of any drug or vaccine, let alone 69 or more, without proper placebo controlled trials. As rates of auto-immune conditions and autism escalate it is illogical not to investigate the combined effect of such multiple vaccine doses, designed to modify immune responses. This has never been done.

The incidence of diagnosed autism in Scottish and Northern Irish school children last year was reported as one in 19 and 16 respectively. In Scotland this represents a 43-fold increase in 20 years. Potential immune system modifiers, including vaccines, must be ruled out by proper science. Something must have changed in our environmental load to fuel this epidemic of sick and suffering children.

Anyone actually following the post-pandemic published peer-reviewed science is aware of the now undeniable evidence that covid-19 mRNA vaccines have introduced spike proteins, capable of damaging heart and other tissues, that remain active for months. Many vaccine-induced deaths have occurred as a result. In my particular area of interest, the link to decreased cognitive function is also becoming clearly established. Any total denial of such, indicates ignorance of the wealth of numerous and consistent published studies. This is another example of mass vaccination, mandatory in some countries, and pressurised in others, that were recommended without adequate safety trials.

I believe in two principles: safety first; and freedom to choose what goes into your body. It is a breath of fresh air to see that these principles are being finally reinstated in the US, supposedly the land of the free.

Self care is an essential element of natural health care -without drugs or medication. It is being actively involved in one's own health.

Self care is an important tool for any balanced, healthy lifestyle. When hearing "self care," many people conjure up an image of bubble baths and massages. But self care isn't about relaxation or indulgence, it's just about creating space for yourself. Space to bring awareness to your emotional state, clear your mind, and reincorporate a feeling of calm and peace into your daily routine. 🥰

Self care looks different for everyone. Whatever it is, make sure that it makes you feel more deeply connected in your most important relationship - the one you have with yourself. 💕

The hygiene hypothesis shows the importance of coming in contact with microbes in order to build a strong immunity. I heard this week that children in Danish kinder-gardens play outdoors ALL the time in ALL weathers- without any health problems.

Kids need to build strong immune systems and get dirty sometimes. Modern hygiene practices may be doing more harm than good. Research increasingly shows that children in highly sanitized Western environments miss out on essential microbial encounters that strengthen their natural defenses.

The human immune system requires early training through exposure to diverse bacteria and microorganisms. When children grow up in overly sterile conditions, their immune systems fail to learn proper threat recognition. This miseducation can cause the body to overreact to harmless substances like pollen or food proteins, triggering allergic responses.

This phenomenon, sometimes called the "hygiene hypothesis," helps explain rising rates of childhood asthma, eczema, and food allergies in developed countries. Children who have limited contact with microbes during critical developmental windows appear more susceptible to these conditions.

Health experts are now reconsidering traditional approaches to cleanliness. Rather than eliminating all microbial contact, they recommend strategic exposure to beneficial bacteria through activities like outdoor play, interaction with pets, and age-appropriate contact with natural environments.

The goal isn't to abandon good hygiene but to find balance. Children still need protection from dangerous pathogens while gaining exposure to the harmless microbes that educate their immune systems. This nuanced approach may help reduce the growing burden of immune-related disorders affecting young people today.

From today's newsletter:
"The U.S. channels 90% of its $4.5 trillion annual healthcare costs toward chronic diseases, yet most of it funds profitable drugs and procedures that do not address the root cause of illness
Prescription drugs trap patients in an endless cycle of dependence.
Medicine must ficus on restoring cellular function and supporting metabolic health to break free from the cycle of chronic illness."

In my first book, The Whole Health Manual, published in 1981, I wrote “One amino acid, methionine, breaks down into a toxic substance, homocysteine. In the presence of B6 homocysteine is changed into a non-toxic form. This ‘homocysteine’ theory put forward by Dr McCully in 1969, supposes that low levels of B vitamins are a primary cause of arteriosclerosis.”

Last weekend’s New York Times [https://nyti.ms/444tzbd] ran this headline: ‘Kilmer McCully, 91, Dies; Pathologist Vindicated on Heart Disease Theory.’

Dr McCully was told to leave Harvard - the establishment there were married to the cholesterol hypothesis. He continued his research saving the lives of so many children who had a genetic mutation that raises homocysteine, causing early death from cardiovascular disease.

Even today the role of homocysteine, lowered by vitamin B6, B12 and folate, is underestimated in cardio and cerebrovascular disease. NICE in the UK still deny the role of homocysteine in heart disease and consequently few GPs test for it despite two thirds of heart attacks and strokes in older people being associated with high homocysteine. A raised homocysteine increases risk of cerebrovascular disease by seventeen times.

Part of the reason for the continued denial of the importance of homocysteine, which is toxic to blood vessels, is that the benefits of B vitamins are interfered with by both statins and aspirin. Those not on statins or aspirin, which has limited effect on cardiovascular disease anyway, have more risk reduction when lowering raised homocysteine with B vitamins.

My strong recommendation is that anyone with any history of heart disease, including high blood pressure, and I’d say anyone over 50, get their homocysteine level checked and lowers it if over 10mcmol/l. https://bit.ly/4lbXhBc offer an accurate home test kit for homocysteine. My homocysteine lowering formula Connect effectively normalises homocysteine. It’s such an important risk factor to check for and correct. A fact that was established by the dogged determination and great science of the late, great Dr Kilmer McCully.
