This is getting interesting… Before I get into any trouble, just to be clear; I’m not advising anybody to stop taking metformin and drink mulberry leaf tea. I’m not inviting anybody to ditch any medication whatsoever. This is just my experience with this one herb. I’m in the position at the moment of having been […]

Time to put my money where my mouth is. After the embarrassing news I was in the diabetic range with my blood sugar, having spent the last 6-7 years teaching the risk factors and treatment of Diabetes 2 to my students, and having gone through diet & lifestyle protocols with my patients, and nagged my […]

Guess what happened to me. I was feeling a bit under the weather, mostly extremely tired. But when you are very busy you expect to get tired. Then I gradually noticed I was drinking more, and then going to the toilet more. It’s about time I got a blood test, I thought. So then the […]

Is there an easy way to do this? It happens every year and it is always a headache. We have six years of herbal medicine students studying for an Advanced Diploma, and we need to make sure that each of the six years gets their allocated four seminar days per module. Each year has six […]
Herbs are plants. Just Grow ’em, and Use ’em… I have just spent several days in Germany staying with a middle-aged couple who live in a small village surrounded by sheep and bounded by a river. Their kids used to swim in the river when they still lived at home, and there is a considerately […]
‘Why don’t we start a herb school?’ I can’t remember who said it first, but it seemed a good idea at the time… We had been talking about this at University while we were training. The advantages of taking herbal medicine training out of University [and therefore Government] control had been becoming obvious. Governments, in […]
