I have great respect for Dr. Peter McCullough MD, MPH and would like to share this significant post he released just yesterday.

18/10/2025

Are You Content with Your Lot?
It has been wisely said,
‘Contentment is Greater than a Kingdom’.
What is ‘Contentment’?
To me, ‘Feeling Whole and Happy with Who I am, where I am and the direction I am going!’
Recently I penned a post about the importance of keeping fit and I take nothing away from this however, I’ve had a quiet inner voice ‘nudging me’ to ‘write more’.
Physical fitness is an important part of our well being however, it is not the most important!

In my clinical practice I constantly see patients with various health issues and yes, getting fit would be helpful but this is most often not the key to their lasting recovery, revitalisation and quality of life rejuvenation. There is another wise saying I appreciate:

‘You can lose all your money and you have lost a lot.
You can lose your health and you have lost much more.
Bu if you lose your peace of mind, You have lost Everything!’

Yes this is very true and I must be honest, many of the individuals I give consultations to are suffering from ‘Lack of Peace of Mind’. Put another way,
‘Lack of peace of mind is a driving cause behind their disease conditions’.
An unsettled, ‘disturbed’ mind can affect the entire life of the person. Their physical body, attitude and mindset, relationships, work, what they perceive to be reality, everything! Indeed, the verse in the Proverbs comes to mind,
‘A broken Spirit dries the bones’.
Medicines including well formulated herbals and supplements can ‘dull the emotional disturbances for a time, but these are not cures. One of the greatest remedies for re-igniting and fanning a positively charged spark of the Human Spirit is described well in the beautiful words of Dr. Edward Bach:

“There is no true healing without a change in outlook,
peace of mind and inner happiness.”

To keep it simple, let’s think of ‘lack of peace of mind’ as anything that causes you to ‘feel down emotionally’. This is a wave of negative ‘energy in motion’(emotion) radiating throughout your entire body. Negative emotion is any thoughts or feelings that disturb you, lower and bring down your healthy vibration and expression of life.
Constant feelings of negative emotion such as resentment, hate, jealousy, anger, being overwhelmed, ‘something is wrong’, failure and regret, melancholy, anything that causes a constant background sense of being unsettled, disturbed, dis-eased or unhappy.

The most common and disruptive mindsets and emotions I see are:
Fear and Worry particularly fear of the unknown. A constant fear/worry they have a serious disease developing that may not even exist.
When a person has a problem or situation they are not dealing with. This destructive thought pattern can cause all sorts of physical symptoms and reinforce mental distress and illusions.
Other emotional roots of disease include:
Prolonged sadness or suppressed self-expression
Relationship breakdowns in general with partners, children, family and friends.
Prolonged lack of peace, love and respect in a relationship is a very real cause of dis-ease, lowered vitality and chronic illness.
Prolonged grieving, ‘being brokenhearted’.
A prolonged sense of guilt.
Prolonged Un-forgiveness and ‘blaming’ particularly parents, ex-partners, children, family members, someone!
Please notice I use the word ‘prolonged’. Short bursts of negative emotional reactions are not healthy for the body however:
All long-term held negative thoughts, feelings and emotions have a devastating effect upon the wellness and functional integrity of the human frame, mind and psyche.

Continuous negative energy in motion poisons the blood.
It adversely affects the functionality of the brain and entire body. Feeling emotionally down is a moving, radiating vibration, a ‘disturbance in the force’ so to speak. A disruption to the body’s Vital Force known in Naturopathic language as ‘Vis Medicatrix Naturae’, Latin for ‘The healing power of nature’. This is the harmonious flow of intellectual energy creating and maintaining the body’s all important ‘homeostasis’ which is simply ‘balance and harmony of function’ within the cells, tissues, organs and systems of the body.

Negative emotion is confusing, disruptive and can be corrosive to the loving community of cells that make up our body. ‘There is an intellect on all levels within the body. All the cells are living, breathing, listening and ‘responding’ to the messages being transmitted from the brain.

I give more counselling these days than ever before. Not because people are more negative (although this is seen be true in some groups and cohorts) but because my experience has given me an insight into when dis-ease is coming from negative emotion. Throughout my career I have genuinely sort to understand the universal Law of ‘Cause and Effect’ in relation to health and disease. How and why things happen the way they do as there are no coincidences in nature and the universe. Everything is happening as a direct result of a cause. Through feeling my way during a consultation, underlying causative factors directly contributing to chronic disease are usually identified so long as the patient is being totally open and honest.

This is how my ‘Psycho Regulation Massage’ evolved and why it has been very helpful.
Developing a dialog while distracting the person’s attention to areas of the body that are holding ‘suppressed emotion’, together we are able to Identify and deal with causative factors that have really been sabotaging the patients health and happiness often for years!

If you are not happy with your Lot, Find out why. Identify and deal with it!
Let go of negative emotion! Anything that is getting you down!
If nothing changes, nothing changes! Turning points and breakthroughs often require courage and change. ‘Courage is the ability to see things as they are.’ If you need help, I’m here.
I like this prayer very much:

‘O God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can.
And the wisdom to know the difference.’

Life Is - What we choose to make it!
‘I’d rather live one day as a lion (being true to myself) than 100 years as a sheep!’ What about you?

While here, make the most of this wonderful journey called ‘life.’ Make it one of Self discovery, happiness and that golden word ‘Contentment’!
Do some Soul Landscaping within your Lot. Shape it to be ‘Your Happy Place’ and Enjoy it while you can!

‘Enjoy it while you can’? In this physical ‘relative’ universe in which we live, everything is in a constant state of movement and change. Movement in space creates ‘time’ and this is for a very good reason. It stops everything happening at once and this provides a workable component for us to use. Time is opportunity. Be awake, be aware and importantly, be flexible. See the Big picture and Find your Peace and Be at Peace in it. See the changes coming and prepare for them without haste or worry. But this is another post altogether!
Finally, Slow down a little. Don’t worry, don’t hurry and take time to smell the flowers!
Be thankful for ‘Your Lot!’ Who you are and what you have. This is a great place to start!
Love and Light to you,
Dr. Peter
‘Contentment really is - Greater than a Kingdom’.

People are dying from the feet up.
We recently returned from travelling internationally and I could not help to observe, not judge, the declining state of wellness of the aging population. I see obesity as always but I also see a decline in Vitality, Wellness and fitness. Of course, this is not everyone, but is in general, most. There are groups of fit and vibrantly well people throughout the world in many communities.
I’d like to share just one ‘reminder’ to my readers as you will have read this in many of my books. ‘People die from the feet up’!
This refers to, we just don’t use our legs enough anymore and this is getting easier with computers, mobile phones, social media and the excellent sport on television!
The legs are the pumps of the body!
They pump not only blood, our ‘river of life’ but also our lymph fluids (our detoxification and immune system) UPWARDS! To our heart and essentially, to our head and more specifically our brain.
One very real cause of the skyrocketing mental and cognitive decline worldwide predominately among the aging in Western so-called civilised countries is simply people are using their legs less as they advance in age. The third world countries that have preserved some of their traditional lifestyles normally require them to keep moving and being active.
In today’s modern society, many look at advancing in age and retirement as resting more, relaxing with an afternoon drink, particularly with friends and generally doing less physically.
The main cause of death in the modern society over the past century has been cardiovascular disease. This refers to degenerative disease effecting the heart, lungs and blood vessels collectively known as the cardiovascular system.
The blood carries nutrient and oxygen to all the cells of the body and then takes debris and leftovers from metabolism to the lungs to be eliminated.
The lymph system is the body’s drainage system (many call it the body’s immune system). This gathers toxic wastes from cellular respiration, metabolism and also toxic substances generated within and that have entered the body. It then carries this to the lymphatic nodes mainly in the groin, under the arms and under the jaw line to the ears, to be eliminated.
The blood assists the Anabolic phases of metabolism and the lymph assists the Catabolic phase.
Both are essential for continued healthy function and both need regular Movement and Resistance to function properly as they are designed to. These essential tissue fluids need to be literally ‘pumped’ around the body!
I have a suggestion that may assist you in achieving this if you are interested. Get a:
Pushbike or stationary bike for resistance and cardiovascular (fitness) training. We have a stationary recumbent bike as the roads now are too busy for us.
Cross Trainer for leg work but to also involve movement and work for the arms.
Treadmill for walking, jogging and running. Up and down hills all in your own home (my favourite).
We have all three and I can’t begin to share how beneficial these are to our human machinery!
Walking is Not enough!
May I bring out, walking is not enough unless it is ‘Vitality or Aerobic Walking’ which is very similar to Race walking which requires the whole body to be involved and work. Casual walking or walking the dog can be good for the mind but let’s be clear, this is not a fitness activity.
The body generally needs at least 15 - 20 minutes of sustained physical output pushing the heart rate up and warming (stimulating) the body three times per week if you are not doing any other physical fitness work. Gardening is a wonderful activity. It is healthy but this also is not a fitness activity unless you are seriously transforming your landscape to set up a new garden. Then it can be quite the workout I can tell you!
And of course, to be healthy and well on all levels, we need a positive mental attitude and need to consume health promoting fuels and not too much of anything!
Hoping this may be helpful.
Our Wellness is our Wealth!

Lifestyle is our Best Medicine!

How Did You Go?

Last week, I invited you to give an extra effort of will—a conscious push beyond the usual—for just one week, and observe what unfolds. I took up the challenge myself, and the results were remarkable.

I committed to greater focus, discipline, and intentional action. One major shift was revitalising my morning routine: each day began with a solid workout—bike, cross-trainer or treadmill—followed by yoga and, most notably, a pool session in the crisp, early winter mornings. Yes, I fully immersed myself in the cold water and did some 'aqua-toning' assisting my body to adjust. This was followed by a brisk outdoor shower—truly invigorating!

Interestingly, the shift in routine meant I briefly disrupted my longstanding daily practice of morning meditation. Twice during the week, I realised I had missed it—once even waking in the night to correct it. This showed me just how much a new rhythm can challenge even the most ingrained habits.

So, what happened as a result of this extra effort?

I experienced heightened clarity, vitality, and a powerful sense of well-being throughout the day. One particular day in clinic stood out as one of the most fulfilling I can recall—patients reported extraordinary results, and the energy was truly uplifting. I know this was no coincidence. It was a direct outcome of focused intention followed by consistent, meaningful action.

The laws of creation are always in motion. We create through thought, word, and deed. And when these align with higher intention, the results can feel like magic. But it’s not magic—it’s alignment. When things "coincide," it’s simply evidence of our inner and outer worlds coming together.

The invitation remains open: you can choose to give an extra effort of will—any time, any day, at any stage of life. If you took the challenge this past week, I’d love to hear what you experienced. Share here or email me directly: peter@vitality.com.au

With success, love, and light,

POSITIVE STIMULATION ANYONE?!
I’d like to share a few words from the great Harvard Psychologist, William James:

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that people can alter their lives by altering their frame of mind”.
Life changing experiences come to people he continues,
“Who make, AN EXTRA EFFORT OF WILL”.

What I am sharing here is Self Generation of Positive Creative Energy.

There is a universal Law that states:
‘When you go out your way to help yourself, powers greater than your own come to help you’.

My four and a half decades of clinical experience have revealed to me that this is an absolutely true law of ‘cause and effect’ that often precedes what many call miracles (which are just universal laws in operation that science does not understand nor can explain.

As we advance in age or feel we have enough financial security or even just get bored with life, we tend to slacken off the level of our personal discipline and effort we apply to our living habits, work and lifestyle. And no judgment here. This is fine for all who have reached the stage where they feel they want to slow down the pace and rest a little more without the demands of creating and establishing themselves.
I am writing to all of us who are not at this stage but who are still engaged in the game of life with enthusiasm riding the waves with all its ups and downs, ebbs and flows, challenges, excitement and trials. Those who still have that wonderful ‘divine discontent’ (as it has been rightly described) to create and experience more of the best life can offer in personal satisfaction and sense of achievement.

Lack of stimulus can lead to lessened expectation, performance and diminished life experience.
I like the quote,
‘Never to have had one or ever to have achieved it!’
Of course this is referring to having a ‘Goal’ or a ‘sense of destiny’.
We can very easily settle into what has been described as ‘flat curve or quiet desperation’ when we are neither up nor down but just ‘ordinary’ most of the time.

There is a saying I enjoy and appreciate very much:
‘Please Lord, never let me die, until I’m dead’!
I’m putting it out there now:

I invite you to do an experiment.
For the next week, turn your level of effort up a notch.
The ‘extra effort’ will be different for all of us. It can be to get up a little earlier, exercise more, control the diet, be more patient, speak less and listen more, control your mind and mouth a little more, less TV or screen time, make time to Meditate and write in your personal journal, whatever.
There are things in your lifestyle that you know need ‘tweaking’. Now you have the invite and opportunity! Do your best to be better than you ordinarily are! Choose to ‘Live a higher level of existence’ and see what it brings!
And do this remembering the universal Law: ‘When you go out our way to help yourself, powers greater than your own come to help You’.

What can you expect?
Different effects for different folks but one thing is certain, the results of ‘giving an extra effort of will’ are seen, felt and experienced in the life of the giver!
Please share any positive breakthroughs you generate and experience.
Over to you!

Greetings and 'New Energy & Life' to you at this season of renewal when nature settles back, takes a break and rests a little from all her energetic work of growth and development over the warmer months. Now as the season changes and weather cools, we also have within us, the natural inclination like nature, to 'slow down and rest a little' from all our building and pushing over the warmer months and take some time out for ourselves.
Our body, like the entire universe in which we live, has a metabolism and because we are 'children of the universe' we are one with the universe and quite inseparably linked.
The two phases of Metabolism are, 'Anabolic' and Catabolic'.
Anabolic is the 'Energy, Nutritive and building up phase' and heat is the medium for this. Then we have the 'Catabolic' phase which is the opposite (which keeps us and our universe in balance). This is the Cooling and 'Restorative phase' of metabolism. This is the phase of Revitalisation and Rejuvenation and this occurs best when we rest.
I'd like to invite you to give yourself permission to set aside some time to rest awhile. More cleansing foods (fruits and vegetables and their juices) and detox treatments such as steam and saunas. It's an ideal time to do my 'Detoxification & Revitalisation Program'.
To inspire you I'd like to share a letter I received from one my patients who had an amazing experience and recovery from following this program and has given me permission to share her story. I hope you enjoy the story here. Love, Peace and Rest to you!

May I ask, has anyone you know been diagnosed with MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS or ‘MS’?
If so, this info may be helpful to them. Two of my patients were medically diagnosed with this condition. Following their treatment with myself, each has shared their recovery story in detail. I will share one here and am happy to provide the other if requested.

A young lady of thirty-two years of age and mother of one presented with the condition known as Multiple Sclerosis formally diagnosed and confirmed by MRI other medical tests six months earlier stating “Neuromyelitis optica’ of the left eye and T1 Thorasic demyelinization; Extensive demyelinization left side”.

The medical prognosis: ‘Rapid progression’ causing loss of muscular co-ordination and function. Life in a wheelchair was inevitable.
To be honest, observance of her difficulty moving, unless something was to change, this was indeed the case in the not too distant future. Upon arrival for the first consultation the patient could hardly make her own way into the clinic. She physically struggled to walk and negotiating two steps was a major challenge for her. The patient was having ‘an episode’ every four days, each lasting from a few hours to a few weeks. Three types of episodes were experienced and sometimes these could be very intense.
MY TREATMENT and MEDICATION: Education and careful systemic detoxification
I gave my special detoxification and revitalisation program, specific nutritional supplementation and drew up a clear ‘action plan for her to follow’.
Results:
Patient returned two weeks later almost completely free of all symptoms.
Walked up the stairs and into clinic, tall, straight, moving freely and well poised.
Following all lifestyle changes suggested.
No headaches or other symptoms
Bowels working well everyday
Only two small ‘episodes’!
Two weeks later:
Patient is glowing and very pleased with the results thus far.
Four weeks later. Only two more small episodes since her last visit being four in total since treatment began more than eight weeks earlier.
Eyesight in left eye has improved, more colour but not form.
Eyes clearer, no headaches, can feel three toes on left foot now whereas was only one toe previously...
Walking most days with husband and son for 30 to 45 minutes.
Patient’s husband ‘in complete shock’ and the extent of his wife’s improvement and recovery! Patient has returned to full time work and is living a normal and more than active life.

Patient’s account below:
My name is Janet and I’m 32 years old. I suffer from an incurable disease called multiple scleroses or MS. I was diagnosed with MS in July. How this came about is as follows.
I thought I was getting a common eye problem called conjunctivitis, as I was a little run down, however, on Thursday night – I remember this particular night, as I ended up putting myself to bed relatively early after telling my husband of the amount of pain I was feeling in my left eye. When I woke the next morning I was taking our son to school and noticed my sight in my left eye blurry, and my eye felt as though I had been punched by someone in it. After dropping my son at school, I went to see my local doctor as I was starting to worry. Upon him turning off the light in his surgery to look into my eye, he noted a lot of blood behind my eye, however when he turned the light back on, I found myself unable to see out of my left eye. After the initial shock, I was seen by a surgeon that same afternoon, as first impressions suggested some sort of clot, worst scenario – on the brain. After test, after test, after test, with no actual diagnosis I saw an eye surgeon who’s sister-in-law had recently been diagnosed with Optical Neuritis, the first sign that can result in MS. Upon the request of this doctor, I had an MRI Scan which showed I had MS or black spot on my brain. However, only one was found and I was told I should not have any more episodes, this is common and some people have one episode and are find the rest of their lives.
I was told regular monitoring every 6 months MRI’s to keep it in check, that my sight would come back eventually and I shouldn’t have any more episodes. Exactly 10 days after I lost the sight in my eye, I woke up with pins and needles the length of my left side. My first thought was that I had had a stroke. I went straight to my Doctor who sent me to another specialist in Brisbane – a Neurologist who deals primarily with MS sufferers. He in turn was in shock over the rapid ferocity of demilinaiton in my left side. It was as if plaques had appeared overnight. I was given a grim outcome, told “what to expect” etc. etc. I was given a drug introveinously over 3 days – this drug was to take away some of the inflammation; a combination of Cortisone and Prenisone in massive, undiluted quantities. The side effects were staggering. I couldn’t urinate, I couldn’t stop shaking, I couldn’t have a bowel motion, I couldn’t eat and I still couldn’t walk or see out of my left eye, and I was hallucinating. I ended up worse than when I started. In the end I was on drugs to urinate, drugs to have a bowel motion, drugs to help me ease the pain I sometimes suffered – I was 32 and a wreck, a shadow of my former self.
I then decided I didn’t want to go on the Betaferon injections much to the horror of my Doctor. My husband, by chance met Dr Peter Edwards and I was brought up in the conversation. By this time, my episodes were happening that furiously and often if I was able to walk or function 2 days out of the week, I was ecstatic. My husband got me in to see Dr Edwards on the Thursday in February. I had trouble getting to his door. My hand was twisted into its usual knot, my leg wasn’t working at all, I was embarrassed to be in such a state, constantly apologising for my condition. In the hour, Dr Edwards changed my eating habits and I was given some supplements. My episodes decreased to 4 in 8 weeks with the longest episode lasting 2 days. Who would think, by changing some simple things and maintaining my eating habits I have minimised the amount of episodes I have. I still have only partial feeling in parts of my left arm and leg, however the decrease in episodes is amazing.
I would rate my general well being on seeing Dr Edwards 12 weeks ago as 10% – my general well being I would say is now 200%.
I wish my husband had met Dr Edwards when I was first diagnosed – maybe I wouldn’t have had to suffer to the extent I have. Anybody willing to give some something a go could be happily surprised. Just take a look at me, I now can keep up with my 6 year old again, all my thanks to Dr Peter Edwards for all his help and encouragement.
– Janet B.
Thank you Janet, well done!

I'd like to share with you a letter I received this week. An example of how a teacher's influence cannot be underestimated and transcends time.
This story is what genuine health practitioners, teachers, any involved in compassionately helping others work for and live for.

From: Christina T.
Date: 13 March 2025 at 21:01:27 AEST
Subject: Message for Peter
"Hi Peter.
I was going through some of my belongings recently and I found your Vitality book that you signed for me. You kindly put that I was an inspiration to you too!
You have been my biggest inspiration.
I came to you between August-October 1994. I was visiting one of my best friends in Surfers Paradise and she could see how distraught I was so treated me to an appointment with you.
I had lost both of my parents two weeks apart that year so I was very stressed and I had been told by doctors in the UK that I had ME which I thought was a load of rubbish. I knew other underlying ussues were going on and you certainly found them.

You did Iridology on me and gave me a deep tissue Sports Massage with lots of dietary and liestyle advice. You basically changed my life. For the better.

You were right when I got back to the UK I found out I had coeliac disease, polycstic ovaries and endometriosis and so my whole life changed. I cleaned up my health and diet and felt amazing I then studied Iridology at The Holistic Health College in London I also studied Homeopathy and Herbal medicine gaining a diploma in herbology and then went on to do a basic Massage course then became a Sports Massage Therapist.
I gave up my job working for a corporate company, that treated me badly, before I came to you and I vowed to myself I will never work for anyone again and 31 years on as a Sports Massage Therapist and Lifestyle consultant I'm still running my own business and I have had some clients for 30 years. I tell everyone about my story and how I began my holistic life and it all thanks to you.
If only you lived around the corner I would love to have a catch up. It's good to see you are still making a difference in this world we are now living in. I'd like to think I am too. I try to educate all of my customers about their lifestyle, the dangers of pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines etc some listen and some do not as I'm sure you are aware. I will never give up trying.

I have two beautiful children who have never been vaccinated and the same for my pet dogs.

My 18 year son said to me a few weeks ago that he really appreciates me giving him a healthy, holistic upbringing and that was music to my ears.

I hope all is well with you

Best wishes and thank you once again

Kind Regards

Christina T".

Peace, Purpose and Power to you too,

Peter
