Vitamin attack and our auto-immune crisis |
|
|
|
|

Having spun out of the one of the most inspiring Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) conferences in years – this one on autoimmune diseases – it’s now interesting to be speaking with practitioners and companies here in Florida. This peninsular is one of the hotspots for the natural health sector in the US, replete with bucket loads of experience that suggests supplements are massively under-valued and under-utilised by mainstream medicine.
The overall feeling, given the media circus surrounding us that’s again attempting to devalue the benefits of supplementation on the back of a questionable study, is one of huge frustration. Reductionist science based around randomised controlled trials simply can’t provide us with answers that are accurate, relevant or meaningful for public health – or for that matter – well-known to clinicians who go about helping people move from a state of ill health to good health on a daily basis. In our main feature this week, I’ve dissected the latest meta-analysis that’s triggered the current round of anti-vitamin headlines. Our hope is that it might be a useful article to which clinicians can point their patients and clients if they’ve been confused by Big Pharma-associated NewsCorp and its ilk.
In our second piece, Meleni brings you insights on autoimmune diseases from the IFM conference, focusing in on gluten – and inspired by her own experience both as a patient and a practitioner. Many of our readers are already weary of gluten in Western staple foods, but there is a much larger group who have yet to get the wider facts from world-leading researchers and clinicians. Below you’ll find a short-cut to this potentially life saving information.
In other news, we, like others, were crest-fallen at the news of the failure of the British Homeopathy Association's legal challenge, but unsurprised at EU and US approvals of the Bayer/Monsanto merger. All this and more in our news snippets.
In health, naturally and sustainably
