The National Trust winner of significant tree is Gingko biloba. Not only are they beautiful and long lived trees, but they are also good for circulatory health. The leaves have long been used for cognitive deficiencies and if combined with other herbs like Bacopa, Gotu kola, Rosemary, Turmeric and add fish oils, magnesium and vitamin B's, they should help to improve memory, rationalisation and recall. This should also help the long suffering partner in the hope that gas lighting, blame and constantly repeat sentences is reduced. Difficult disease all round, but these herbs have good research to show they do improve brain functioning.

Two years ago, my daughter died of a rare aggresive cancer which was made worse by the very toxic chemotherapy. As a nurse of 50+ years and a naturopath for half of that, I cannot understand why oncologists do not realise that one should be supporting the immune and other body systems to become stronger for resistance. Instead these chemical poisons do the opposite. There are many nutrients, foods and plants that have a positive effect on body's support systems and can also reduce cancer emerging, growths and metastisis. These can also reduce the side effects of cancer and the medications. Lots of information on diet and supplements out there as well as plants and this book; The Anticancer Garden in Australia by David Archibald has at least 200 herbs that have been shown to be effective against different cancers, some even better than the chemotherapy offered and definitely with less side effects. Love and think of you always Emma 18/12/90-8/9/24.

If you are worried about bird flu, then get your immune system in good condition to resist this virus. You can start with a whole food diet, exercise and supporting your body with herbs like echinacea, astragalus, withania and ginseng. Any flu is good with antiviral herbs like thyme, ginger, turmeric (pic), peppermint and green tea. The H5N1 virus that affects mostly birds has rarely jumped to other species, especially man. If you have poultry, there are many herbs that have shown to be antiviral to feed to birds such as gooseberries, sorrel prevents viral entree, cloves, elderberries, rhubarb, biacal scutellaria to name afew. Same with humans, empower the immune system and thus the bodies ability to resist rogue diseases.

In todays Age, there is a large number of middle aged men who are accidentally overdosing on drugs. There is a correlation between life changes, loneliness, poor diet, lack of support and knowledge of both prescribed and illicit drugs taken to relieve these difficulties. It is researched that opioids and benzodiazipiens are reactive together as well as many pyschiatric drugs do not mix with some other prescribed drugs, some mushrooms, herbs and even foods. If falling into these dark holes, before one gets to rock bottom, it has been shown that councelling and other support can have way better long term effects than going straight on to antidepressants. There is also many herbs and nutrients that could be helpful in preventing getting to that deep, dark, suicidal depression such as passionflower, lime blossom, lemon balm, californian poppy, St John's wort, ginseng and more. Nutrients like magnesium & vitamin B's along with a natural food diet to include amino acids and other nutrients are beneficial. Good advice is to see a naturopath, nutritonist, councillor or even get down to the Men's Shed as they have lots of lived advice as we all know every man is happier in a shed.

This wonderous book by Prof Liam Engel on 42 plants that expand the mind contains all about the plant, how to collect and process it and the dosing. Liam is having a talk on this book with a copy at the Preston Town Hall from 12.30 14th June. Highly informative but unfortunately, I already have got this hot off the press book. I would recommend anyone interested in botanicals to go along. It is $60, which is what one pays for it in a book shop, but there is also a talk, Q&A and a signature.

Being proactive in ones health, can not only avoid time and money going to a doctor, but could prevent the medical problem from becoming a protracted issue or worse, a more serious chronic, life threatening situation. One should be informed and should not need to have a medical degree to be able to look after oneself. There are many books available that give such information, but this one I found the other day (thanks to friends for the gift voucher) has loads of preventative plant medicine recipes from easily available herbs and ingredients (written by an Australian), that can be made up in the home kitchen. Always, at the first sign of a change or illness, get on to it, as it is true that prevention is better than cure!
