  • Preventing Disease Through Genetic Testing

    Dr Jane Tiller, Ethical Legal and Social Advisor, Public Health Genomics at Monash University realised that value of DNA genetic testing that could prevent thousands of cancers and heart attacks every year.

    Tiller spent more than a decade fighting for the reform, which throws open the door for larger-scale studies on “preventative genomics” to help identify the 90 per cent of people carrying high-risk genes who are currently undetected.

    Her vision is for a publicly funded national DNA screening program.

    Professor Michael Brown won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1985. In a speech at the 2006 International Achievement Summit in Los Angeles, California, he tells the Academy’s students that we do not need new discoveries, we need to implement what we already know. The problem, he explains, has switched from science to changing people's behaviour - which is much more difficult.

  • 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.

  • Ovarian Cancer Day – 8 May 2026

    I am emailing in response to your email regarding World Ovarian Cancer Day on 8 May 20026. I did attend a fund-raising event for Ovarian Cancer at Maitland. I presented…

  • What are the Advantages of a Whole-food, Plant-based Diet?

    To eat fully consciously connects us to the miracle of all life.

    The WHO states the endometriosis is incurable and the cause is unknown. Using references from peer-reviewed medical journals and case studies, I can show that this is not true.

    It is caused by an overabundance of oestrogen, in particular estradiol which is the result of a high-fat, high-protein diet as advocated by low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diet advocates such as Dr James Muecke, the 2020 Australian of the Year. Many references are provided on my website.

    I have a 150 page, 120000 word website explaining how informed choices relating to the food we consume can result in optimal outcomes for our health, the environment and for the animals that we share the earth.

    When I published my book Low-Carbohydrate Mania: Fantasies, Illusions, and Myths, I posted Dr John McDougall a copy to his practice in Santa Rosa, California. We communicated by email for nearly a year. Mostly the correspondence was concerned with the views of William Davis and Robert Lustig. He viewed both with some – let’s say, bewilderment.

    Whole-food, plant-based diets without added oils or simple carbohydrates are best for our health, the environment and the animals we share the earth with.

  • What If It’s All Been a Big Fat Lie?

    Gary Taubes interviewed a number of prominent nutrition experts for his 2002 New York Times article What if it has been a Big Fat Lie?

    Gary Taubes, Good Calories, Bad Calories book supported the views of Robert Atkins Diet Revolution, a high-fat, high-protein, high animal-based diet. This article resulted in the publication of the book Good Calories, Bad Calories five years later.

    Bonnie Liebman reviewed Taubes’ New York Time Magazine article in 2002.

    Both Teicholz and Taubes are supported and funded by the Beef Industry.

  • Introduction to Whole-food, Plant-based Diets

    Humans (or apes) did not evolve to eat any animal-derived products. Chimpanzees are the most omnivorous of all the apes and derive 5% of the diet from animals – mostly live termites which we do not find very appealing.

    On the right panel of every page of my website, there is a green “Videos” button with several videos explaining why a whole-food, plant-based nutrition works.

    If you view them it will show what is possible. Consider Katherine Lawrence story. She cured her endometriosis (which has the same cause as breast cancer) within 7 weeks by changing what she ate.

    Dr. Tony Sattilaro cured his aggressive cancer. After 10 years, he decided he was cured and he could revert back to his old diet. It did not work.

  • Ruth Heidrich, Hawaiian Athlete and Breast Cancer Reversal

    At the age of 47, Ruth Heidrich was diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancer had spread throughout her breast and into her bones and one lung. The prognosis was not good.

    As a result of a 1982 study instigated by Dr. John McDougall, Ruth commenced a low-fat, vegan diet without chemotherapy, radiation or hormone blockers. The results of the dietary change were profound and the cancers were completely reversed.
