Natural rescue of antibiotics?
I’ve just touched down today on a crisp and sunny Seattle, in advance of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute’s Thought Leaders Consortium meeting which kicks off on Friday. What a privilege it will be to share the stage with others as committed as we are to work towards transforming how we do healthcare. We’ll update you with news about the consortium meeting next week! Sometimes it takes a disaster to trigger change. That’s exactly what seems to be happening with antimicrobial resistance. Fewer and fewer antibiotics are now working, pharma companies have run out of ideas, the public is conditioned to want to continue to use them, farm and wild animals are all becoming carriers of resistance genes, and, given current trends, previously treatable infectious diseases are predicted to kill 10 million annually by 2050. This sets the scene for a great UK initiative by Pukka Herbs and the College of Medicine in the UK, that we’re thrilled to be a part of. It’s set to give renewed hope for wider adoption of natural medicine. That’s our lead story, following the first meeting last week of an expert group at the Chelsea Physic Garden in London. Our second piece links you to our second ‘health hack’ video on sleep. The last in our sleep series will come next week. We’re giving sleep this kind of exposure because most of us don’t get taught much about sleep. We take it for granted, yet one-third of us suffer from insomnia or other sleep problems - and sleeping pills and anti-depressants aren’t the answer! In other news, we draw your attention to ANH friend and award-winning health journalist, Jerome Burne's fantastic piece on Dr Malcolm Kendrick's 4 decades of work to expose the myth of the cholesterol theory of heart disease and the misselling of statins by pharma interests. Then there's more pushback against VAT on supplements in Ireland that would kneecap consumer choice for natural health. If that wasn't enough, we've got more news about the latest findings about research on the microbiome and why we should all hug each other more. On that note...with a big, natural, American-style hug from Seattle,
