I went to an award ceremony earlier this year. It was held in Lanzarote, in a castle, designed by the famous local artist César Manrique and built from blocks of volcanic lava. The holes formed by escaping gas when the lava was molten are just the right size to trap a high heel. Inside [...]

15 August 2010 If you are taking medication to reduce cholesterol, you need to read this article by Dr Mercola. He explains the medical terms that your doctor uses and tells you how to interpret your test results. He suggests that ”high cholesterol” is a made-up disease that has no medical foundation. Every living cell contains some [...] 14 April 2010 Here is an interesting fact: your body contains more microbes than human cells. You are not just a single genetic individual you are a living colony, sharing your life and space with millions of other life forms. If you watch crime programmes on TV you will know how often people are convicted on [...] 9 March 2010 Tropical fish fanciers will be familiar with methylene blue as an anti-fungal and anti-bacterial chemical used to keep fish healthy.

I doubt that there would be much of a market for them today, even supposing you were allowed to offer [...] 24 February 2010 I was talking to a medical colleague who had recently been to China. While there she had a conversation with some Chinese doctors about the types of complaints they encountered most often. When she asked how many patients complained of TATT (tired all the time) they looked blank. So she explained what she meant: [...] 23 February 2010 The Scottish National Party have asked chefs to reduce portion sizes voluntarily or face legislation in a new tough stance against obesity. The say that Scotland faces an "obesity time bomb" and that 40% of the population will be clinically obese by 2030 unless they act now. See the Telegraph article. [...] 10 February 2010 I’m not exactly anti-exercise but I sometimes wonder what damage people are doing by being over enthusiastic. When I was a student I was struck by the number of people I saw at the gym who were nursing injuries, it often seemed that there were more people with joint supports and bandages than without.
