Improve Your Health in 30 Days – Drinking Coffee
Greg Norman loved the healthy coffee, tea and hot chocolate so much, he has championed the development of Nespresso compatible pods in Europe.
This is no ordinary coffee. (and comes as green tea or hot chocolate too)
BENEFITS OF GANODERMA COFFEE [AND TEA].
Is ganoderma mushroom coffee healthy? It is, as long as you stick to a specific few brands. (Organo and 4 Sigmatic)
Ganoderma lucidum comprises probably 400 different biologically active constituents. These compounds have a broad spectrum of pharmacological actions including immunomodulation, anticancer, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antiatherosclerotic, antifibrotic, chemopreventive, antitumor, anticancer drug toxicity prevention, analgesic, anti inflammatory, antinociceptive, antimicrobial, hypolipidemic, hepatoprotective, antiandrogenic, antiangiogenic, antiherpetic, antiarthritic, antiosteoporotic, antiaging, antiulcer properties and estrogenic balancing activity.
A search on pubmed will reveal such benefits as:
- Eases Fibromyalgia if taken daily for 6 weeks
- Raises neuronal nitric oxide
- Reduces inflammation
- Helps antioxidant status of mitochondria both in brain and body
- Makes cholesterol and platelets less sticky
- Supresses migration of highly aggressive breast an prostate cancers

The Paleo Diet Explained
Now the Christmas excess is out of the way, let’s talk about food!
One of our practice members recently asked about the hunter-gatherer diet that I had recommended, saying that someone else had ‘debunked’ it.

Cancer – is it a nutritional deficiency?
Cancer – Is It A Nutritional Deficiency?
So often your average medical doctor will laugh at the idea that diet and nutrition can help your health. This is largely helped by pharmaceutical companies doing everything they can to back rubbish research into the area of nutrition.
