The largest COVID-19 “vaccine” safety study ever conducted, involving 99 million individuals:
➊ 610% increased risk of myocarditis following mRNA platform injection.
➋ 378% increased risk of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) following mRNA injection.
➌ 323% increased risk of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) following viral-vector injection.
➍ 249% increased risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) following viral-vector injection.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38350768/?

This multi-country analysis confirmed pre-established safety signals for myocarditis, pericarditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Other potential safety signals that require further investigation were identified.

Even though I have recognised university degrees in my chosen disciplines, my patients cannot access Medicare subsidies for treatment. Even though acupuncturists are sought for injury management rehabilitation, my discipline is not part of the subsided multidisciplinary medical providers.

Through recent audits on Medicare expenditure, $8 billion of taxpayers’ money was lost each year through fraud, errors and waste.

This letter from my association uncovers some of the rorting occuring. I have sent this to a number of politicians requesting an independent review of the Medicare system. If you feel implored at making a change & would like a copy of the letter, please reach out.

Here's to a better world in 2023 & beyond ❤️

Parents, ask questions!

Inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics for infections in children is common worldwide, despite several guidelines warning against this practice.

For example, approximately 29% of outpatient antibiotics prescribed to children in the United States are inappropriate. These include a large proportion of children inappropriately prescribed any antibiotic agent for a viral infection (21% of viral upper respiratory infection diagnoses) or inappropriately prescribed a non-first-line antibiotic agent for a bacterial infection (33% of treated otitis media diagnoses, 40% of treated pharyngitis diagnoses and 48% of treated sinusitis diagnoses). Despite this alarming trend of non-guideline-consistent antibiotic use, the consequences are not well described. To address this knowledge gap, an eminent group of US paediatricians and public health scientists decided to investigate, using data from the IBM MarketScan Commercial Database. Their study included children aged 6 months to 17 years diagnosed with a bacterial infection (suppurative otitis media [OM], pharyngitis, sinusitis) or viral infection (influenza, viral upper respiratory infection [URI], bronchiolitis, bronchitis, nonsuppurative OM) as an outpatient from April 1, 2016, to September 30, 2018. The cohort ended up including 2,804,245 eligible children.

Overall, 31% to 36% received inappropriate antibiotics for bacterial infections and 4% to 70% for viral infections. Inappropriate antibiotics were associated with increased risk of several adverse drug events, including about 6 times the risk of Clostridioides difficile infection and 4 times the risk of a severe allergic reaction among children treated with a non-recommended antibiotic agent for a bacterial infection. Antibiotics inappropriately prescribed to non-hospitalised children resulted in at least $74 million in excess health-care costs.
“Inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics is unfortunately very common and leads to adverse drug events and millions of dollars in avoidable health-care costs. Sometimes parents think that the worst that could happen is that the antibiotic just won't help their child. But antibiotics are not harmless – they can cause adverse drug events. Clinicians need to ensure that antibiotics are only used in the way that is most likely to benefit the patient."

A large amount of research now points to social isolation & engagement, as the number 1 risk factor for developing dementia. Encourage your elderly loved ones to seek social groups & activities to boost brain activity ❤️

Social isolation has been directly linked to structural changes in brain areas associated with memory and cognitive function. Researchers report socially isolated people are 26% more likely to develop dementia later in life.

So, apparently my business account on Instagram is blocked from posting about growing a vegetable garden 😂
Wow. I'm very thankful I don't waste my time on social media content! Let's see if it works here...
Close your eyes if you're under 18 🙈

From little things, big things grow 🌱
How satisfying is having a veggie patch?
Believe it or not, this is 6 weeks of progress!
Good soil, and good quality heirloom seeds are your best bet for success.

Even if you don't have the space for a patch this big, consider growing in pots, empty bottles, buckets or in bags (particularly for spuds)!

Leafy greens in winter grow prolifically & their health benefits are amazing. Think vitamin K for healthy bones, increased glutathione production (master antioxidant), zinc + betaine which are precursors required for the methylation cycle, calcium, detoxification, liver support, nitric oxide production - the list is endless!

Get some greens in your ground + in your guts! 😂😂

The importance of adequate sleep in disease prevention has always been key. Alzheimer's requires an interdisciplinary approach and combating onset can really be as simple as dietary & lifestyle changes. There is hope ❤️

Study underscores the importance of healthy sleep to prevent the Alzheimer's related amyloid-beta 42 protein from forming clumps in the brain.

Food. It is the single most important contributor to good health.
The below is not food, it is an imposter. Choose wisely, particularly for your little ones ❤️

And just when you think food manufacturing can't get any more mad than Zooper Dooper Flavoured Milk, in comes Slush Puppy Pouches.

This is why The Root Cause Stands for Children's Health.

This is why myself and our team of incredible instructors are passionate about empowering kids to learn to ask What's In My Food?!!

Let me break this one down for you by looking at the packet.

Firstly let's look at the marketing on the front of this packet.

👉It's Blue Raspberry. Turn the packet around and you'll find there are NO Raspberries in this at all.😡
👉Look at that Slushy dog - Isn't he cute? Oh and he has his thumb up and licking his chops, so it must taste great. Bet he's meant to attract the attention of just adults, don't you think😂
👉Find your flavour - inviting you to buy more than one and choose which one you think is the best.
👉250ml

This is why in our Kids Health Quest Membership and our Children's Health Program for schools, we teach the kids to ignore the front of the packet.

The front tells you absolutely nothing about what's in this product at all.

Let's turn it over and look at the back now.

Look for the ingredients first. If there's more than 5 ingredients, it's an ultra-processed product food which means it is an industrialised formulation.

🎇Ultra processed foods are not foods required for health and they usually do not help our one body for life. In fact, in many cases, they take away from their health. 🎇

There are 11 ingredients in this 250ml pouch. It falls squarely in the domain of an ultra processed food.

Breaking the ingredients down. Here's what you need to know.

The ingredients are always listed in the order of highest to lowest in terms of volume.

👉Water
👉Sugar
👉Apple Juice Concentrate (fancy name for sugar)
👉Humectant (422) usually used to extend shelf life but sometimes to add a sweet tasting properties
👉Flavour - who the bleep knows what's in this????
👉Food Acid (330) - usually used to extend shelf life. Some people may be affected by this - symptoms may include allergic or hypersensitive reactions, and skin ailments like eczema
👉Preservatives (202, 211) - 202 is Potassium Sorbate and 211 is Sodium Benzoate. Both maybe derived from petroleum and potential effects may include allergic reactions, asthma, headaches, hyperactivity, skin irritations, stomach upsets.
👉 Colour 133 - Brilliant Blue colour. Derived from petroleum with potential effects of allergic reactions, gastrointestinal symptoms, may cause hyperactivity, prohibited in foods for infants, suspected carcinogen, suspected mutagen, suspected neurotoxicity.

The Information about additives has been sourced from the Chemical Maze app.

But if you're still thinking about this product, let's go look at The Nutrition Information Panel.

What we're looking for here is the amount of sugar, fat and salt in a product. When looking at this panel, look at the per serve column to work out how much you are getting per serve.

👉Fat is 0g in this product
👉Carbohydrate Sugar - 46.2g - this is 11.55 tsp of Added / Free Sugar!!! The World Health Organisation recommends for optimal health, ADULTS have 6tsp across the ENTIRE day. This one pouch has almost double an adult recommendation for the entire day!!!
👉Sodium - 20mg - this amount of sodium is ok (less than 120mg sodium per 100g is low salt)

So there you have it. That's what is in a Blue Raspberry Slushy Pouch.

I'll leave you to determine whether you think this food would be helping yours or your kids one body for life.

I'd be interested to hear your comments.

Like we teach kids in our membership and Children's Health Program for schools,

🌟Always remember to ask What's In My Food? 🌟
