For example, I saw an article by UCLA today showing that they had reversed Alzheimer’s without any pharmaceuticals. That’s astonishing, how do you do that?Here’s the article: http://abc7news.com/336963/ and here’s the pertinent bit:They avoided simple carbs, gluten and processed foods. They increased their fish intake, took yoga and meditated. They were instructed to take melatonin, get adequate sleep, incorporate vitamin B-12, vitamin D-3 and fish oil. Within six months, nine [out of 10] patients saw a noticeable improvement in memory. Oh, dropping simple carbs, gluten & processed foods, and adding fish oil and a few vitamins.  So you mean an anti-inflammation diet just like the Zone Diet, which has been publishing the beneficial affects of diet on Alzheimer’s for years.http://zonediet.com/nutritional-news/archived/alzheimer’sWhat’s sad is that this is news when the treatment has been known for years: sort out that crappy western diet that your brain never evolved to work on.  { 0 comments }Fake Honey – Are You Serious?!? by Colin McNulty on 11 September 2014  In another one of those “How have I lived this long and not known about his before?” moments, I discovered this week that there is such a thing as FAKE HONEY!Not only has a recent study shown that 75% of US “honey” actually contains no pollen, but imported honey (most of the honey in shops) can be faked by just adding dye to corn syrup.If you’re lucky, it’s been cut with some real honey, if “pollenless honey” can in fact be called honey that is. They filter the pollen out so you can’t trace its origin and can import it via 3rd party countries, which is an issue as Chinese honey has been banned in the UK and US for contamination due to antibiotics. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, people will it seems fake anything to make a quick buck. I’ve seen or read about fake electronics chips, fake safety equipment (e.g. electrical RCDs, or plastic hard hats), and even fake eggs… yes really!Fortunately I can get locally produced honey directly from a local farm, which is excellent.My only decision now, is what to do with the 2 unopened shop bought jars of honey that are in the cupboard…?  { 0 comments }The Fat Tide Has Turned – Fat Is Good For You! by Colin McNulty on 25 June 2014 Ok I’m calling it: The War on Fat is over.
