Skin conditions are common and are often the first sign that a baby may be a little below par. We may see “milk spots”, which usually go away quickly in the early days and weeks, or there may be nappy rash to a greater or lesser degree. Some babies will develop rashes and “eczema” early…
I haven’t written about head lice in recent years because strangely I don’t see much of it these days. I usually get calls about hand, foot and mouth, molluscum contagiosum and school sores! However, head lice is sometimes around and if you have one of those children (more girls than boys, probably due to a…
When we think of detoxing we have tended to think of doing a liver, gallbladder, parasite or general detox. But these days we’ll often also be talking about detoxing vaccines, drugs (recreational and pharmaceutical), Roundup and industrial chemicals, and often this will also include chelating heavy metals and high copper.

I’ve written quite a lot about high copper as seen in hair tissue mineral analysis (hair analysis) and sometimes in blood tests, because this is the most common presentation that we see. If you want to read more about high copper and how it can affect your health, you can check out my previous posts:…
Homeopaths always try to take a holistic view of an illness, whether it’s longer term chronic or just an acute, so my first question when someone calls me up and tells me they are sick is “so what’s been happening?”. The answer is often “well I caught this from a friend” or “oh my gut…
Exam stress is one of those things that can make or break an outcome and no amount of practice can make it any better if you have a tendency to anxiety or lack of self-confidence! Even quite young children are experiencing high anxiety with Naplans becoming a benchmark for success in the classroom. There are…
Problems with the digestive system have become so prevalent these days and the theories behind the physical reasons for illness so varied, that I wanted to take a look at this from a different angle.
