I recently read a book on this subject with good info. Statistics show that many knee problems have the same weaknesses. Weak quadriceps, poor knee flexibility and poor propreoception( awareness between the brain and body when eyes closed). Also 30 seconds of correction of these weaknesses daily is the optimium time, any less is ineffective and any more is not more effective. Once a day is also just as beneficial as several times. I have been following the guidelines for …

The new buzz word: pro-biotics … is not quite so new. It goes back over 100 years ago. The Russian born bacteriologist and 1908 Nobel Laureate, Ilya Mechnikov, stated:
“Death begins in the colon.”
In his groundbreaking book Prolongation of Life, Mechnikov documented in detail the unusually lengthy life spans of several societies that practised eating fermented foods and special bacterial cultures called kefirs. Mechnikov made regular studies of 100+ year-old highly active men and women that were still leading healthy lives!

If you eat grapes, strawberries and other non-organic vegetables and fruit you may be shocked to find out that many agricultural pesticides – including some previously untested and commonly found in food – disrupt male hormones. This is according to new tests conducted by British scientists.
The researchers strongly recommended that all pesticides in use today be screened to check if they block testosterone, which is critical to men’s and boys’ reproductive health. Scientists at the University of London have tested and …

Denmark has become the first EU country to ban Parabens in its skin care products for under 3s.
If you read the back of your toiletry bottles you’ll see that Parabens are found in many of the baby (and other) toiletry products found in high street shops and there has been growing concern over the possibility that they may be a risk to health.
Parabens are a class of preservatives that have been shown to have mild hormone-like effects as they can …

It took me nearly a year to sumbit a secound blog post. I am just in the process of setting up two blog sites, thus re-inspiring me to contribute to this, one as part of my current website, beginning by covering areas related to the various therapies I practice and CFS/ME Recovery. Also an independent one which I will call Captivated by the Mystery where I will explore areas such as spirituality, spiritual crisis, cults and awakening. Here I write …

We start off as strangers, and over time, we get to know each other better. Right?
Maybe in friendships, but maybe not in romance.
I’m thinking of those romances where there is an instant mutual attraction. For the first few dates, you are both in synch – without trying. Conversation flows, you text or call at just the right moment, the choice of restaurant is spot on. Everything occurs in perfect co-ordination, without you making an effort. Its as if you know …

As a tutor and kinesiologist I recently came across this book which is an excellent study support and training guide and wanted to share it with others:

This is much more than ‘A guide to helping students study A & P’. The intelligent questionnaires, easy to understand examples of what stresses us and how we can manage this, and understanding individual styles of learning are a great support …

Holidays are the ultimate for me. They provide me with time out and space to think clearly about how I want to move forward with my life and my work. In an ideal world, I’d have several holidays a year, but reality dictates otherwise.
A clear head enables us to focus on our priorities, keeping our objectives at the forefront of our minds, and preventing us from getting stuck in a foggy rut or simply going through the …
