50 years ago non-organic food didn’t even exist, until the 1950s all of the food we ate was completely organic. Over the last century we have developed the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides and genetically modified organisms (GMOS) to help farmers become more conventional. Modern farming methods mean our diets have changed significantly but our bodies and genetics have not. The term ‘organic’ is becoming more and more popular as people are becoming aware

The last few posts I have been introducing lots of serious topics which are very important when you are recovering from chronic illness as the majority of my clients are (Pacing – The Secret Key To Recovery?, The Perrin Technique, The Truth About Clean and Natural Beauty), which have all been very information based and educational so I thought that this week I would write a blog that was a bit more light hearted and easier to read as I know a lot of people who are poorly suff

In light of it being M.E/CFS awareness week this week, when is a better time to ask society to understand… Please understand if you see me looking ok, I’ve likely covered my greyish/pale skin & lifeless eyes in make up & that may be the first time I have ventured out all week.
