Some time ago, a lady visited my clinic having been referred to me by her gastroenterologist for a colon hydrotherapy procedure. She was very badly constipated; she had tried different laxatives, stool softeners, motility drugs and enemas, but nothing was helping to empty her bowel and relieve her of the pain. She was slowly being […]
The over-prescribing and over-consumption of antibiotics is a subject that has long troubled me. When I first went into clinical practice almost 30 years ago, I noticed even then a complete lack of responsibility from some GPs and their patients when it came to how antibiotics were being prescribed. Patients were coming to expect that […]
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” is probably one of the most famous lines in English literature. And this quote from Charles Dickens’s novel ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ perfectly sums up recent events in my personal life. When I look back over the past year, I think it’s […]
For as long as I can remember, everyone in my family has taken live bacteria probiotic capsules. This includes my daughter-in-law who has recently given birth to my first grandchild, and who took my Live Bacteria capsules and Omega 3 capsules every day of her pregnancy, as well as my mother who is now almost […]
While it may seem like a recent health phenomenon, the practice of colonic cleansing has been around for more than three thousand years. You can read more about its long history in my blog post here. Fast-forward to today, and colon hydrotherapy is being practised all over the world as part of our global quest […]
Colon hydrotherapy. Whenever it gets mentioned, more often than not, it elicits a reaction akin to the way we feel about Marmite – love it or hate it! What’s more, it’s rare to read anything in the press or a magazine displaying a positive stance on colon hydrotherapy. Such a shame, when it can make […]
Hopefully you saw my last blog post on what detoxing is and the huge array of benefits that it provides. If not you can read it here. Now I’m going to tell you everything you need to know to do your own detoxification, including my top ten tips. Support your body’s detoxification processes With a […]
You often hear the phrase detoxing around this time of year. After the excesses of the festive period, people want to reverse the damage they have caused by overindulging on food and drink, and start their year with a blank slate health-wise. But, what is detoxing? And, why is it important to do? Read on […]
Many of you will have an intention – after the indulgences of the festive season – to clean up your diets, start exercising and get back on the road to health. Some of you will perhaps be kicking off next year with some kind of detox or cleanse. For millennia, cultures and religions across […]
I hope you have had a lovely, relaxing Christmas. And, more to the point, did your tummy survive the season of indulgence? I hope that some of the tips I shared in my Christmas Survival Guide, and in my two blog posts on bloating enabled you to enjoy a few festive treats and avoid unpleasant […]
Nutritionally speaking, the festive season is a total shock to the system. Suddenly we’re eating large roast dinners with rich desserts, devouring endless boxes of chocolates, and drinking countless glasses of champagne. December is, without doubt, the month when our digestive system takes its biggest hit with all the feasting. And while Christmas is a […]
We’ve all been there – overindulged on all the festive food and wound up feeling like a stuffed turkey, in the most uncomfortable of ways. Stomach bloating is a common problem that occurs after eating too much. So it’s not really surprising if you feel permanently puffed up at the moment, with all the office […]
Those of you who have been part of my ‘Tummy health community’ for a while now will probably be familiar with the idea that a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria – or microflora – is vital to gut health. Some may not realise, however, that properly balanced microflora are just as important for […]
When the seasons start to shift, particularly from warm to cold, I always feel my mood change. The nights draw in, the temperatures fall, and I start to think about the year-end, particularly Christmas and all the extra things I have to do around this time. I do enjoy it, but I know how much […]
If you’re anything like me, you like to enjoy a festive treat or two. My personal indulgences are Anton Berg chocolate liqueurs, Drambuie on the rocks, Marks & Spencer’s mulled wine, my mum’s mince pies and sausage meat stuffing, sugared almonds (although I do have to be careful of my dental work!), and a nice […]
