May 6th, 20190191 Australia is about to go to the polls and as usual health is a “hot topic”. The turnover of prime ministers here has caused some bemusement. For those reading overseas, Australia does not elect its prime minister. To that extent we follow the UK system where the leader is elected by the party which has the most seats in the lower...

April 22nd, 20190263 Regular readers know that I am a strong supporter of the rights of individuals to live their lives as is best for them, without interfering with the rights of others to do things their way. Thus, whilst I do not personally follow it, I have no issue with anyone who wants to be on a vegan diet. Sadly, there is an extremist element in...

April 8th, 20190367 Those old enough to remember the 1970’s may remember the P 76 motor car. It was supposed to be the best car ever built.  The manufacturers told the public it was based on best research and information. In the real world the car bombed.

February 11th, 20190914 Many years ago, I did a share trading course based on the work of W.D. Gann reputed to be the most successful Wall Street trader ever. His approach was to study past cycles to predict future ones. He contended that like crops and the seasons, everything in the universe has a repeating cycle. For the record, I have not made a fortune...

January 28th, 201901481 Cast your mind back to a time long past – the 1970’s. Very few people were overweight and an even smaller number had type two diabetes. Now think about what people tended to eat in those days. Now ask yourself the same questions about the situation today. What has changed? When it comes to weight the major change was the...
