• Egg Consumption, B12, Lutein and Zeaxanthin

  According to an article Foods You Should Eat if You Have a B12 Deficiency, published by WebMD on 10th March 2025, includes fish, shellfish, red meat, poultry, organ meats and eggs.

  The results of vitamin B12 deficiency can be devastating. Eggs are a good, natural source of Vitamin B12, with one large, boiled egg providing approximately 0.5-0.6 mcg which covers roughly 19%−25% of the recommended daily value. The vitamin is primarily found in the yolk. Consuming two large eggs can provide nearly half of the daily required intake.

  Vitamin B12 is not made by plants or animals but by microbes that blanket the earth. In today’s sanitized, modern world, the water supply is commonly chlorinated to kill off any bacteria. So, while we don’t get much B12 in the water anymore, we don’t get much cholera, either, which is a good thing!

• Amber Bryant – Raising Money for Endometriosis Research

  The article, "Amber Bryant - Raising Money for Endometriosis Research", was written by Bill Ormonde and published on Tue 22 April 2025 at 0607.

  Amber, at 28-years-old, can barely get out of bed some days due to her endometriosis, ran to raise the awareness of the disease for Endometriosis Australia — a disease she has struggled with since she was 16, but was only diagnosed with in April 2023.

  As Amber states, her treatment from the medical profession was appalling. "I dreaded going to the doctors because I thought that they felt like I was making it up."

  Unfortunately her efforts are in vain because she is not treating the fundamental cause, that is an excess of sex-hormones, in particular estradiol.

  The good news is that the cause is already known. I have contacted Amber and provided her with references from peer-reviewed medical journals and the remarkable story of Katherine Lawrence who cured her endometriosis in 7 weeks by changing her diet. This did NOT require the purchase of supplementary products. Her story is accessible from the right panel of my website by clicking on the green VIDEOS button.

  I have contacted Endometriosis Australia and Amber on several occasions but have not received a response

• Over-exploitation of Ocean’s Resources

  Of the straddling stocks nearly two-thirds of the stocks (64 per cent) are classified as over-exploited, depleted or recovering, 23 per cent are fully exploited, 12 per cent are moderately exploited.

  Straddling stocks are stocks of fish which migrate between the economic exclusive zone of one or more regions and the high seas. These are highly migratory fish stocks.

  80% per cent of the world’s fish stocks are reported as fully exploited or over-exploited.

  Fishing subsidies greatly distort the fisheries market.

  Global fisheries subsidies were estimated to be US$35 billion. The total revenue from the industry is US$90 billion.

  Harmful subsidies constituted US$20 billion each year consisting of fuel subsidies, management, port and harbour tax relief and equipment modernisation. So US$20 billion each year are subsidising an industry to catch more fish that are over-exploited.

• Academy of Achievement Address 2006 by Professor Michael Brown

  In 1985, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Michael Brown and Joseph Goldstein "for their discoveries concerning the regulation of cholesterol metabolism." They wrote:

  "If the LDL-receptor hypothesis is correct, the human receptor system is designed to function in the presence of an exceedingly low LDL level. The kind of diet necessary to maintain such a level would be markedly different."

  "It would call for the total elimination of dairy products as well as eggs, and for a severely limited intake of meat and other sources of saturated fats."

  They also state that "such extreme dietary change is not warranted for the entire population" because of the “severe social and economic consequences”.

  Perhaps the extreme social and economic consequences of not implementing that diet far outweigh the consequences of continuing to farm and feed ourselves in our habitual manner.

  To be fair, this was written in 1984.

  More recently, in 2006, Michael Brown's conclusions were different.

• Impact of Corporate Funding

  Given our distrust of authorities, we want to hear that we have been deceived by the medical establishment into believing that their advice on fats and saturated fats is based on myths.

  The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are revised jointly by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services every 5 years. Originally, the USDA was responsible. The US Department of Agriculture represents the interests of the agricultural industry.

  In 2002, dietary guidelines report emphasised that total dietary protein as high as 35% of total diet calories would “minimise risk for those chronic diseases”. This was not based on scientific evidence.

  A lawsuit forced the committee to reveal that the majority of its members at the time had an association with the dairy industry.

• Kidney Disease and Diet

  2½ millennia ago, Plato wrote about the foolishness of eating animals. 500 years later Plutach wrote about the immorality of killing and eating animals who are entitled to life as much as we are.

  Many people at the Mater Hospital where I am receiving treatment for multiple myeloma are not only dealing with their blood cancers but trauma of kidney, heart disease and type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Lots of great information about heart attacks and both forms of diabetes on my website.

  The treatment greatly magnifies the severity of their problems.

  Kidney disease ranks 9th in the cause of death in Australia.

  Despite the nasty nature of my multiple myeloma disease, my kidney and heart functions are really good.

  There is a really strong correlation between pork consumption and kidney disease. The method of cooking has a big impact due to the increase in serum creatinine with BBQ pig being the worst.

  Then there is the additional problem with the appalling method that we raise pigs in confined cages that are stacked three deep. Pigs cannot move or lie down. Their faeces and urine are deposited onto the pigs below through slatted floor boards. They live in a noxious atmosphere of ammonia and hydrogen sulphide.

• Summary of Dr James Muecke Australian of the Year 2020

  There has been 7 articles in the Newcastle Herald during December 2021 and January 2022 relating to Dr James Muecke and Dr Peter Bruckner, a sport’s medical clinician, on how to prevent and cure diabetes with an animal-based diet that is high in fat and low in carbohydrates. Muecke and Bruckner both state that we should be eating more eggs, cheese, meat and dark chocolate to minimise diabetes, its associated blindness (diabetic retinopathy) and diabetic neuropathy.

  One of these articles was an editorial “The pandemic should be all the impetus we need to properly address diabetes, the other silent assassin in our midst” urging people to address diabetes by adopting Dr Muecke and Dr Bruckner’s recommended diets.

  Their recommendations are killing people.

• Dr James Muecke Australian of the Year in 2020

  Dr James Muecke is the Australian of the Year in 2020 which was awarded for his work as an eye- surgeon and his work in preventing blindness.

  He is trying to convince Australians to eat more meat, eggs and dairy. Australia is ranked number 2 in meat consumption, just behind United States but in front of Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and New Zealand.

  Muecke has declared that we need to “Declare war on type 2 diabetes and cut back on sugar” in order to reduce the incidence of blindness.

  He believes that it is the introduction of sugary drinks and highly processed foods are the cause of diabetes – not a high-fat, high-protein diet as shown by numerous papers dating back to 1927.
