I suffered from insomnia since 2006 when my late husband passed away. I would go to bed so tired and actually sleep for about an hour. Then I would wake up and be awake for the rest of the night. By the morning, I was so exhausted, I could hardly get out of bed. I was always grumpy and had little incentive to do anything and had to really push myself to do my work. It was debilitating and frustrating and I became really depressed from it. This was apart from all the other niggling conditions I was contracting. The insomnia though, was the worst symptom I had and after years of not sleeping, it was affecting my health. Continue reading Magnesium and Insomnia

Drug Side Effects – Trust me I’m a doctor!
This is part two (see part 1 here) of an ongoing article about overmedication by drug pushing doctors, drug side effects and Big Pharma who seem to be at the hub of almost anything to do with health and not in a good way. Big Pharma’s corruption is having a knock on effect across the whole of the medical fraternity and the public need to stop being so trusting and start asking questions!

Drug Side Effects
Death by Medicine
I have been reading a book by Dr Carolyn Dean, based on a review ‘Death by Medicine’ done in 2006. As the title suggests, modern medicine is now causing more harm than good with drugs being administered willy nilly by medical practioners, prompted by the greedy efforts of big pharma. Doctors do not have the time to go through every drug that comes onto the market and believe you me the numbers are staggering. Their only recourse is to trust that the pharmaceutical companies that are touting drugs, have the patients’ best interests at heart. But they must know, as do we, that Big Pharma has become unscrupulous when it comes to profits, with many suffering and dying because of it. The medical profession has to get its head out of the sand and stand up for their patients! Continue reading Drug Side Effects
Signs of Kidney Problems
Those with the first signs of kidney problems will nearly always have a magnesium deficiency. But if you do suffer from kidney disease, the medical profession will tell you that you must NOT take magnesium. It is paradoxical that a disease that can be caused by a Mg deficiency cannot be treated with Mg! This doesn’t make sense to me, unless you have complete kidney failure. If your kidneys are working then I don’t know why Mg, under guidance, should not be administered. Continue reading Signs of Kidney Problems
What’s White Coat Hypertension?
The first time I came across the question – what’s white coat hypertension, I was in the doctors waiting to have my blood pressure taken. I had recently moved to a new area and the doctor’s surgery had a policy of giving all new patients a check up to make sure you were healthy and didn’t need to go straight onto a drug! I’m sorry if I sound cynical but I do feel sometimes, that drugs are pushed onto us when a natural treatment would be more effective, have no side effects and prove to be much cheaper.
