Are you ready to get out of your comfort zone?

Most of us know that kids can suffer from selective hearing. Fewer of us recognise that certain kinds of adults are also susceptible to the condition. That’s especially the case when the condition benefits them, irrespective of it harming others. The public is brainwashed into believing that decisions that governments and health authorities make will be based on solid science. It’s meant to be the bedrock we can all rely on. Sadly, we’re a million miles from that being the case.

This week, I’ve blogged about how selective hearing among those in high places is now among the biggest impediments to us solving not only our environmental crises, but also our health ones. What will it take to remedy? In looking for solutions, let’s note that young Greta Thunberg has been showing the world that wielding influence requires more than just good science. And, even then, we still don’t know if the listening will morph into action and whether ‘business as usual’ will be ditched for something purposefully designed to be genuinely sustainable.

Our second piece picks up on a fascinating theme picked up by our friend and colleague, health journalist, Jerome Burne. Why is it that people who suffer hugely debilitating conditions like ME and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) get such poor support from the mainstream medical system? You’ll discover it’s down to something that Jerome calls the ‘pharmascope’.

In our weekly news titbits, find out about the WHO’s surprise rejection of the EAT-Lancet ‘planetary diet’, UK doctor burnout, Theresa May’s greenlighting of Huawei’s installation of 5G infrastructure, the common misdiagnosis of MS and the Australian government’s controversial approval of the CRISPR gene editing technology which opens the door to raft of new ‘frankenfoods’.
