Do Not Despair

Do Not Despair

by Dr Joe | Oct 9, 2023 | Food, Food, General Health, Health & Wellness, Nutrition, Personal Responsibility, Public Health

Let us start with the part we can all agree on – the average weight in most countries has increased over the last 40 years, albeit the number of those with serious weight issues is much less than the numbers quoted. This is because although the Body Mass Index (BMI)...

Reigning in the Medical Industrial Complex

by Dr Joe | Sep 11, 2023 | Future Health, Health Care Costs, Pharmaceuticals, Public Health, The Practice of Medicine

That medical science has advanced over the last century and that it has provided benefits for many is a statement of fact and the obvious. It is also possible to have too much of a good thing. More to the point, as with most industries, and yes healthcare is an...

The Lion Is Out And About

The Lion Is Out And About

by Dr Joe | Mar 13, 2023 | Covid 19, Medical Research, Pharmaceuticals, Politics

The truth about COVID-19 origins remains a topic of intense discussion and debate. Augustine of Hippo, who lived in the 4th century, said, “The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.” Recent events show that...
