The randomized VITAL study investigated the effects of vitamin D and Omega 3 Fatty Acid supplementation on the incident cancer and cardiovascular disease. 5 years of vitamin D supplementation was associated with a 22% reduction in risk for confirmed autoimmune diseases, and 5 years of Omega 3 Fatty Acid supplementation was associated with an 18% reduction in confirmed and probable incident autoimmune diseases. This interesting follow-up study demonstrates the long-term beneficial protective effects of daily vitamin D appear to have waned after the supplement was discontinued, while the protection from Omega 3 FA lived on for at least 2 additional years.

Omega-3 fatty acid supplements prevented autoimmune diseases for 2 years after cessation, but vitamin D's effects tapered off, suggesting that continuous dosing is warranted.

This is a great differentiation diagram to help homeopathic remedy choice for a cough. I love that homeopathic remedies are so individual focused.

When no two coughs are alike, how can you have only one remedy for cought. Homeopathy recognises this and has a remedy for each type of cough.

Childhood anxiety can also display a similar pattern. The child is so anxious that they have difficulty concentrating. Homeopathy may help an anxious child to better cope with their response to stressors.

It is about time that studies into the long term effects of taking the contraceptive pill take place. This is a great article. I smile when I read that researchers steer away from studying women related to their unpredictability. We know that we are a dynamic gender!
A quote from the article:
"Participants who weren't taking any hormonal contraception experienced an increase in their motivational drive to achieve around the time of ovulation "

Until now, no one has known much about the psychological impact of the pill on the more than 100 million women who take it each day.

I am concerned about the regular use of the Melatonin supplements . While it is a very useful hormone supplement to improve sleep patterns following shift work or overseas travel, I am concerned that long term use may be detrimental to wellbeing.
Techniques for sleep hygiene , such as diming lights at night will support the body's own production of Melatonin.

More Americans are taking over-the-counter melatonin for sleep, and some may be taking it at dangerously high levels, according to a new study published in JAMA.

Mother and Baby are intrinsically connected both ante and postnatal. By maintaining the mothers holistic wellbeing the baby will be provided with the best foundation for development. Homeopathy is a tool that may support holistic wellbeing.

Biologically, every baby is counting on his mother* to be his rock and his anchor. Being near his mother’s heart works in the same way as plugging a mobile-phone into mains-electricity does. His mothers heart is the ‘energy source’ he plugs into to top up ‘his batteries’.

The person that you talk to the most is yourself. Speak loving and nurturing words. You are uniquely beautiful. 💕⚘

The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

~ Derek Walcott (Love After Love)
