• Dementia Rates are Soaring

  On 10 October 2026, an article, A dementia diagnosis has long been a death sentence. But are things about to change?, was published on the Good Weekend of the Sydney Morning Herald that suggested that changes in dementia treatment was going to change the devastating impact of dementia as a result of earlier diagnosis and better treatment plans.

  However, an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.

  The mortality rate of dementia has been growing exponentially since 1980. The prevalence and the number of years living with dementia has also increased significantly.

  That is the bad news. The good news is that the debilitating condition can be significantly prevented by lifestyle choices, particularly with diet. Dementia usually has it causes decades before any symptoms are recognised. Optimally, steps to prevent this debilitating condition should start today.

• Some Notes About Statistics

  Most statistics are created by making adjustments to observed values that transform these values into useful inferences.

  These adjustments result in reporting NOT what was observed. These adjustments can be valid and useful depending upon these adjustments. It also depends upon the motivation of those making the adjustments - that is, what beliefs that they wish to communicate to a wider audience.

  There are a number of people who believe that smoking is not nearly as harmful as most believe and that eating bacon and egg rolls for breakfast each day is OK because my great-uncle lived to be 95 and died after spending the day riding his horse around the boundary of his rural property. Statistics can be provided to validate this.

  Adjustments can be harmful if poorly motivated and are often misinterpreted in the reporting of studies. The assumptions made often omitted without any justification.

  The reporting of the results in the media only highlights basic findings. For example, we all “know” that mammagrams and PSA testing has resulted in longer survival times - ignoring the effect of “lead time bias". In reality, the increase in “survival time” is a result of living longer knowing that you are unwell - you are still dying on the same day.

• Guide to Measuring Blood Pressure

  According to the American Heart Association, nearly half of all adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure (≥130/80 mm Hg), which is the #1 preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, including heart attack, stroke and heart failure, as well as kidney disease, cognitive decline and dementia.

  Below is a guide to measure blood presure accurately based on recommendation from Harvard Heart Health.

• Introduction to Sex-hormonal Related Cancers and Endometriosis

  Each morning when I sign into my PC, I check the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) news, health and science bulletins.

  The top news stories have frequent references to the problems that women have with their health, the difficulty that they have in obtaining diagnosis and treatment and the suffering that they are enduring. These conditions include endometriosis, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), as well as sex-hormonal related cancers such as breast, prostate, endometrium and ovarian cancers.

  It is estimated that in Australia 11%-16% of women in the relevant target population are afflicted by endometriosis - a devastating condition.

  I have a 150 page, 120000 word website. The web site has a range of supporting material including ebooks, a published book and video. My story (and some great photos) can be viewed below. I have a reference manager that contains over 4000 entries. Most are primary references from peer-reviewed journals where I have the article on my PC. There are also references to books, TV documentaries, podcasts, webpages, blog posts, newspaper articles, conference papers, ABC programs and news items, WHO reports and documents.

  There are some remarkable stories, available from the home page of my website, of people's lives being transformed (for the better) from debilitating conditions simply by changing what they eat.

  I am hoping to connect with an inquisitive and committed journalist who is passionate in informing the Australian public of the miraculous power of our bodies to heal if given the opportunity. This could be Walkley Award material.

  This is my effort in attempting to make the world a better place - for the people, our earth and the animals we share the planet with.

• Blood Group Diets – Peter D’Adamo

  Peter D'Adamo claims that blood type O is the oldest of the blood groups because it is the simplest.

  The conventional view as explained by Rachel Ehrenberg and Laure Ségurel is significantly different.

  They state that:

  The A, B and O versions of the gene differ only slightly.

  We show that instead the remarkable distribution of ABO alleles reflects the persistence of an old ancestral polymormorphism that originated at least 20 million years ago and is shared identical from descent by humans and gibbons as well as among distantly related Old World Monkeys. The O type cropped up later - still long before chimpanzees and humans diverged.

• DNA, Genetics and Epigenetics

  A chromosome is a thread-like structure made of DNA and protein that holds genetic instructions. It as a tightly packed package or an instruction manual inside your cells that tells your body how to grow and work.

  A double helix describes the structure of DNA. A DNA molecule is made up of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder in a helix-like shape.

  Each strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups.

  Attached to each sugar is one of four bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) or thymine (T). These are the rungs of the ladder that connects the two strands. Adenine bonds with thymine and cytosine bonds with guanine.
