Saw this today and thought you'd like it. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You …
Accept Life Is Difficult Rather Than Resist
This popped into my Inbox this morning and, given the difficulties with family illness and moving house currently that some of you know about, it was rather timely, so I thought I'd share it. RICK'S REFLECTION: ACCEPT DIFFICULTY Sometimes things are difficult. Your legs are tired and you still have to stay on your feet another …

Histamine Intolerance – Why Do We Get Symptoms Everywhere? Part 2
When I show people the list of symptoms for histamine 'intolerance', there's always that look of doubt as it does seem you could literally get symptoms anywhere in the body. People distrust that unsurprisingly - a bit snake-oily, isn't it?! The reason is because histamine plays so many roles in the body and there are …

However, it is nice to see published research backing up the fact that coeliac disease is not 'just' a gastrointestinal disorder; it affects us psychologically and neurologically too.

Lost, Sad, Fearful, Flat, Negative? Two-Step Programme for Happiness.
I've felt all of those at some point or another and certainly when I was feeling really poorly most of the time. You can't help but feel sad, fearful and negative when every day seems to be a struggle, can you? We're only human. What I learned was the the brain can easily get stuck …

Depression & Gluten
I must hear this kind of story almost daily. When is mainstream medicine going to wake up to the fact that most gluten related disorders are neurological and not (just) gut? If Catherine were my patient, I would be suggesting she go Truly Gluten Free (grain and dairy free), wouldn't you? Either way: let's say …

Jasmine As Calming As Valium
It's not often I see something that validates the use of essential oils as much as this does. I have a soft spot for aromatherapy since it was the first therapy I seriously trained in. I still use it pretty much every day for something. For example, today I have made a scar treatment gel …
