Growing Foods for Health – Update
Okay, I admit it. – I’m a carnivore. So sue me! Did some research this morning, checked some reports on red meat and how maybe the reports on how we should eat little or none of it, even though it has sustained, mostly healthily, the human race for millennia, might be a little skewed. Now…
Growing Foods for Health
Well, putting my money where my mouth is, I planted all my new veggies this week, and am feeling pretty pleased. Apart from choosing my favourites, I looked online for reputedly healthy veggies.

Except when I get their letter. This time I’ll read it through carefully and have also rung and asked them for…
Allergies – What – Why Allergies
The subject of allergies came up in conversation the other day and it set me to wondering why it seems that so many more children, and adults now, are suffering from this problem than myself and others when I was growing up. I saw a program not long ago where this concern was discussed, and…
Vitamins, Serotonin and depression
Many people these days seem to suffer from depression, myself included sometimes. So I decided to do a little research and see if I could find some ways to fight the darn problem, without chemically prescribed treatments, even though I know that they can, and often do, help relieve the condition. Unfortunately many countries, our…
The Reasons Why
As I usually am of a morning, I was at the computer researching health issues for mature adults, when I came across some articles on the Cambia Health Foundation blog. These concerning youth, child and generational issues around children and child poverty, among other things. Realising how right they are about the sufferings of these…
