Been busy behind the scenes…

  Those who’ve been keeping up with my adventures might well be forgiven for thinking I’ve been hiding in an undisclosed location and/or asleep for the last couple of months. I could have probably done with a bit of both, but the truth is more prosaic.

I spent the first 6 weeks of my time …

Book Review – The Meat Fix, by John Nicholson

Book Review – The Meat Fix, by John Nicholson

John Nicholson spent 26 years as a hardcore vegan, living on a diet so healthy that no NHS practitioner could tell him how to improve it.

Unfortunately, it didn’t do him any of the good it was supposed to have done – he was fat and had no energy in addition to his joint pain, …

Substance over style

Substance over style

Usually, substance over style is a good thing… but not when you’re talking about medicinal substances and lifestyles.

Here we get into the difference between symptom relief and true healing. A symptom is the outward manifestation of a problem – a headache, for example. Many different problems might cause headaches, ranging from simple dehydration through …

The state of healing

The state of healing

  The talk in Canterbury went well. Although the audience was smaller than anticipated, those attending were interested and asked good questions. The video is still in process, but when it’s available I’ll post the link to it. The camera angle is a bit strange because we had a camera fail at the last minute …

Prof Dave Nutt talk, 25 January 2012

Long ago and far away, I worked at the University of Bristol in the Department of Psychopharmacology. At that time, Professor David Nutt was the department head. It was a real shame that I couldn’t get excited about any of the projects he had on the go at that point, as I would have loved …

Healing as strange attractor

Healing as strange attractor

  After my post on synchronicities, I shouldn’t be surprised that they continue to crop up. Sure, I just had someone contact me out of the blue professionally that I’d hoped to hear from for a while, but this goes beyond that.

I’ve had a few healing clients lately whose issues mirror my own. …
