Blood tests are in 💥💥💥

Its the winter solstice and messages are coming in, some starting a 13 day ritual ....remember your future self. If you are young, with little ones, in your 30s, do it now. Its hard to make time when the kids want your attention, but a healthy mamma is what they need. 💃💃💃

My ritual is to look after this body as much as I can. It is sad , it took a blood test marker to get me to the gym. 😑 I thought I was doing well. 😳

Honest to the G, I don't like the gym, I find it intimidating, so many mirrors and trendy new glute emphasising leggings 😁..but I have one goal for being there, that is to age with health. It is like flossing. I dont like flossing but I do it for dental health, mental health and cardiovascular health. It has become a ritual to work out, at least 3x a week.

In July, I had a surprise (shock to me) my HbA1c was 38, most people in main stream medicine will tell you , that's fine or even ignore it...but in functional/nutritional medicine this is not ok. ESPECIALLY if you are unaware and you eat well, no sugar, no junk food, but hormonal changes during peri menopause mean life style changes.

My HbA1c is now 32 which is great! Considering it has only been 6 months. I already walk one hour a day, do reformer pilates 3x per week, Kundalini yoga, no sugar, no junk food.

Its hormones, lack of muscle, being Indian.

I have learned more about cancer, metabolism, muscle mass and the link between diabetes and cancer, the repurposing of medications to 'treat' cancer. High sugar levels create INFLAMMATION. 👀

A time to self reflect, rituals or not, we still have to take control over our health and the health of our families.

The stats say this generation will out-live their children, lets not make this happen, children watch and learn from others, not do as they are told. Start with you, your health, the food on your plate, movement, nature, daylight, laughter 😍

Happy shortest day of the year...thank ful for more day light. 🌞

Terrain, terrain, terrain 🌲

Nourish it, feed it, nurture it, as it matters more than the 'pathogen'.

Why do some children, 'suffer' febrile convulsions? (check the previous post). 🧐

Why do some children/adults 'fall' ill and recover more slowly? 🐌

Why do some people keep 'falling' sick, time after time? 🤒

Why do some people never do any acute illnesses? 🤔

Your body does its best with the 'ingredients' available to it. A blood stream, 'sticky' with sugar COMPROMISES the terrain (not very scientific but hopefully you get the gist). 🤓

As you plan to get away or deep dive into this period of festivities, remember your terrain is not a guest, its part of you, every single day. 😍 It depends on you. Epigenetics do not have to 'switch on' dis-eases, you have agency 💪🏽, even though it may feel like you are 'swimming against the main stream narrative'.

What ingredients does your terrain need today? Mine needs sunshine 🌞

Epigenetics and the FOUR cell salts

Why does my child convulse at 39°C
but my sister’s can tolerate 41°C without an issue?

This is where epigenetics comes in.

Let’s keep this simple...
Genes are the piano
Epigenetics is the player 🎶

The piano doesn’t change. But the music can.

The same genes in different situations can create very different responses.

Illness, fever, sleep, stress, and nutrition all influence how the player plays the piano.

Fever is not just heat.
It is a ‘chemical’ signal from the immune system saying:
‘Something needs our attention.

That signal also reaches the brain.

These chemical signals like cytokines are coded by genes, and depending on the player, the signal can be a ‘tad’ strong (aka piano music loud).

One of the cytokines is IL-1β.

If the player is not well fed, not hydrated, stressed, tired, then the ‘player’ can reflect this and the fever spike may result in a convulsion.

Some children:
release this signal (IL-1β) more strongly
heat up faster
feel the fever more intensely in the brain

This is biochemical individuality.

Some children may have a ‘glitch’ in the GABA-Receptor. Which is the ‘lock’ that receives the key called GABA (the calming neurotransmitter). When this lock is slightly ‘jammed’, the message to ‘calm’ nerve cell activity is not well-received. Hence, a febrile convulsion may be experienced.

See images below the four cells salts...

If you prefer paracetamol or, if you prefer to use alternatives, or both, it is your choice; you have to feel comfortable.

Part 2

Febrile convulsions can be terrifying, but let’s shine some ‘positive’ light on this topic.

2–5% of children in the US and Western Europe experience febrile convulsions.

In the 2-5%, between 9% and one-third of first febrile convulsions are classified as complex.

In the 2-5%, about 1 in 3 children who have a febrile convulsion will have a recurrence.

In the 2-5%, 2–6% of children with febrile convulsions, go on to develop epilepsy (higher risk with complex seizures).

In the 2-5%, after a simple febrile convulsion, the risk of epilepsy is about 2–7.5%; after a complex febrile convulsion, it’s 10–20%.

💥 There is NO increased risk of death from febrile convulsions. Let’s get that clear. 💥

Febrile convulsions are not caused by how high the fever is. They are usually triggered by how quickly the temperature rises.

These convulsions occur in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years who do not have an intracranial infection, metabolic disturbance, or a history of non-febrile seizures.

Febrile convulsions often:
⭐️ happen early in an illness
⭐️ occur with the first fever spike
⭐️ happen even with ‘moderate’ temperatures

It is about the speed, not the temperature.

Young children’s nervous systems are still developing.
Their brains are more sensitive to rapid changes, including sudden temperature shifts. They are developmental in some children.

When the temperature rises too quickly, your child’s nervous system may have a ‘wobble’, which can look like a febrile convulsion.

This does not equate to neurological damage.

⭐️ Febrile convulsions are self-limiting
⭐️ They do not cause brain damage
⭐️ They are not epileptic seizures

Most children outgrow them completely.

They look terrifying. But medically, they are usually a temporary nervous system response, not a sign of harm/damage.

This is also why fever-lowering medications do not reliably prevent febrile convulsions.

Because medication does not always stop the rate of rise.

The most important thing is not the number on the thermometer…

It is more:
- how your child is coping
- their responsiveness
- hydration
- their overall behaviour

Most seizures stop within a few minutes and do not require medication (self-limiting).
If the seizure lasts more than five minutes, call for medical help.
After the seizure, check for any injuries and ensure your child recovers. Seek urgent medical attention for serious symptoms (e.g., difficulty waking, non-blanching rash, ongoing seizure).

Tomorrow in part 3...💥

Why two children with a fever triggered by the same ‘pathogen’ may need very different support and what epigenetics has to do with it.

And how to support your child during a fever. As it is a long post already. 💚

There seems to be a theme right now, flu, coughs, colds and FEAR. I find life easier when I am empowered, but when I feel disempowered or listen to fearful media.

Here is some information on fevers and Paracetamol...and NOTE: this is not an anti-paracetamol post... 🤓

Your baby/child is hot, upset and grizzly and not eating. You go into that ‘do something’ mode. You reach for Paracetamol (aka Calpol, Tylenol)

Paracetamol is often described as a medications that ‘treats’ a fever.

A fever is the body’s healing response. 💥

Heat (fever) helps slow down viruses and helps immune cells work faster. 🔥

It’s an INTENTIONAL HEALING response.

Paracetamol doesn’t remove the virus. It suppresses the fever via. the brain, lowering your child’s temperature set-point.
So the temperature comes down.

The immune system is doing it’s best to deal with the virus...in the meantime, the Paracetamol must be detoxified by the liver.

This is normal biology, as the body can’t have a ‘toxin’ hanging around, whatever the medication.

One of the liver’s key ingredients for detoxifying Paracetamol is glutathione.

Glutathione is one of the body’s most important antioxidants.

It helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports immune balance.

When glutathione is being used up, there are ‘trade-offs’. A young child’s glutathione levels are on the lower side already, as the body is still developing, including the detox system.

There is temporarily less glutathione available for other jobs, such as managing inflammation and supporting recovery, whilst ‘mopping’ up the Paracetamol.

Meanwhile, if the immune process has not managed to deal with the virus sufficiently, the body may raise a fever again, or the fever just lingers, or comes and goes....
..because the body is still doing its work, it is dealing with the ‘threat’ aka the virus.

Understanding what the body is doing is empowering. It provides a sense of ease.

Why not allow your child’s fever to run its course, providing your child with plenty of cuddles, skin-to-skin contact, fluids, sleep/rest, soothing stories, soothing tone?

And see how she/he goes.

If you use Paracetamol, so be it, no judgment. Making informed choices does not mean it has to be black and white; it is about understanding your choices.

Tomorrow in part 2...

16/12/2025

Unfortunately, autoimmune conditions are too common and becoming more common. 

Do you get flare-ups of your autoimmune condition? Flare-ups that can seem unpredictable, or why you may not respond well to biologics? 

Well, it has something to do with Heart Rate Variability (HRV) 

HRV is one of the best indicators you have of how regulated your nervous system is. It measures the natural variation between heartbeats, not heart rate itself, but how flexible the system is.

That flexibility matters because the immune system does NOT work 'solo'. It listens to the nervous system.

The parasympathetic nervous system, the healing branch of the nervous system, is largely carried' by the vagus nerve and plays a direct role in calming immune activity and limiting excessive inflammation. When vagal tone is strong, immune responses are more measured and easier to switch off once the 'threat' has gone. This threat could be an overwhelming day! 

When HRV is low, the body is often stuck in stress mode. In that state, immune activation thresholds are lower, inflammation lingers longer, and flare-ups are more likely. Treatment then has to work against this 'background noise'.

This is why HRV has been linked to both flare risk and response to immune-modulating medications. It reflects whether the body is in a state that can receive and integrate treatment, not just whether the right drug is being used.

Autoimmune care ideally should be about restoring immune regulation, so it can respond appropriately.

Antibiotics should be used for life and death situations only.

When the body is exposed to antibiotics, the immune system's development is hindered 🤨

The microbiome diversity drops, meaning fewer family members which means reduced resilience.

The crazy opportunists (opportunistic bugs, who wait around for that moment to go 'viral') start to bloom, such as various yeasts and pathogenic bacteria. Before you know it, they have thousands of followers 🙈

The gut-barrier weakens..imagine your home walls being 'thin' ..the neighbours can now hear all the drama 😁 .. this means the immune system is alerted past the gut wall. This is no longer a family drama, but it has invited the neighbourhood 😎 Gawd help you if too many Ethels join in, equivalent to the immune TH17 cells involved in autoimmune conditions.

So, why not avoid antibiotics unless they are ABSOLUTELY necessary?

website, we have free blogs, blogs with education on the immune system, blogs on heart disease, blogs on fevers, RSV virus etc

The cost to health, the cost to the environment, the cost to mother earth is unfathomable.

But wear masks, don't ask 'stupid' questions.

Tips on how to be sick without even trying;

- watch TV
- especially main stream news
- be so overwhelmed you dont have time to rest
- go to Macdonalds because its cheaper than cooking at home
- dont spend time outdoors
- restrict physical activity
- spend money you dont have
- blame your neighbour, your mother your father...just find a scapegoat
- blame the NHS
- get kids addicted to screens from an early age

But the issue is, health is not the Government's priority. Health to the government is to keep you surviving not thriving. How many people do you know that are THRIVING more than SURVIVING?

Watch the film DARK WATERS and see for yourself.

These forever chemicals are toxic, ☣️🔺️the rise in chronic conditions is serious but you can start today. One change at a time.

Start with simple, start with what you can do without overwhelming yourself further. Your health and your family's health is in your hands, not in the 'powers that be'. 💥

Your body detoxes 24-7, but dont 'retox it' faster than it can detox. Start simple, when you shop, ask does this contain chemicals? If so, leave it behind. Encourage family members to not buy you 'toxic gifts' explain why...no tin foil hats, simple basic science. 😊

Your liver, your kidneys, immune system etc are all working for you 🧡
