Have you ever thought of growing your own garlic? In the face of rising prices, the need to grow our own has never been greater. As many of us don’t have an allotment or large gardens though, garlic and vibrant herbs still seem easy to grow in pots outside or on sunny windowsills inside. This means that we can easily add these lively, delicious, nutritious, health- and nature-friendly little powerhouses to our meals, smoothies, soups, sauces and stews at very low cost.

OK so you’ve heard from me already about the colourful polyphenols in real food such as fruit and veg, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices. These colour pigments have been shown to play a role in ‘anti-rusting’ or other health-promoting functions, though only when taken in balanced context with other vital co-factor nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, adequate proteins, enough fibre, etc.

So let me tell you more why is so good.

PRESS RELEASE 28 FEBRUARY 2025
80,000 accredited practitioners available to bolster the NHS: So why can’t patients access nutrition advice as an integrated part of NHS primary care?

Health and care services are delivered by a mix of professions and practitioners working in different roles. Some of these roles are subject to statutory regulation while others are not. Practitioners can, however, voluntarily join a register and demonstrate their commitment to maintaining professional standards.

What is less known is the politicking and professional slandering that goes on behind the scenes with regards to those health and care practitioners on voluntary registers. Despite choosing to make themselves accountable and meeting the professional standards required to register to protect the public, we have witnessed BANT practitioners subject to continual dismissal by the wider healthcare community as well as the parliamentary system that oversees these registers.

There is currently an 80,000 strong workforce of qualified practitioners on accredited registers, overseen by the PSA (2). The PSA accredits registers that meet PSA Quality Standards. This provides patients, the public and employers with assurance about the standards and competence of registrants.
