A Little Adventure Before I See You Again

To all my wonderful patients,

After many years of looking after backs, necks, shoulders and everything in between, I’m taking a little time out for an adventure of my own.

During October and November, I’ll be away on Travels With Tau — taking Tau, my trusty Hilux, on the road for a journey through Southern Africa.

I know that being away means I won’t be here when some of you need me, and I genuinely appreciate your understanding. Many of you have been patients of mine for years, and the relationships I’ve built through my practice mean far more to me than simply treating aches and pains.

Sometimes we all need to step away from our normal routines, explore somewhere new, recharge the batteries and create a few memories along the way. This is my opportunity to do exactly that.

I’ll return refreshed, hopefully with plenty of stories to tell, and ready to get everyone straightened out again! 😄

Thank you for your continued support, your trust, and for allowing me to be part of your health journey.

Take care of yourselves while I’m away — keep moving, look after your spine, and I’ll see you when I get back.

Warmest wishes,
Dr Ron Van As

Travels With Tau — because sometimes the chiropractor needs an adjustment to his routine too. 🚙🌍

🚙 **T-MINUS 15 DAYS — WE’RE GETTING CLOSE!**

With just over two weeks until departure, Travels With Tau has officially entered the final preparation phase.

This week was all about paperwork.

First up was **RTSA Mimosa** for Tau’s road fitness test. Mine expires while I’m away, so I needed to get it renewed before leaving Zambia.

Well… the tortoise is still on crutches. 😂

Five lanes of vehicles somehow trying to become two, plenty of waiting around and, from my experience, a process that seemed far more focused on getting the paperwork completed and the fee paid than actually inspecting whether the vehicle was roadworthy.

But eventually — **ROAD FITNESS DONE! ✅**

Today was **Interpol clearance at Chelstone Police Station**, and what a completely different experience.

I’d been recommended to go there and had a contact to whom I’d sent my documents beforehand. When I arrived, the paperwork was already prepared. I paid the required fee today and return tomorrow to collect Tau’s cross-border clearance.

**INTERPOL — ALMOST DONE! ✅**

And suddenly we’re at **T-minus 15 days.**

Next week Tau goes in for his final service and mechanical check. Then it’s downloading the **Tracks4Africa maps onto the Garmin**, the final shop, packing everything properly…

…and then there really is nothing left to do except **TURN THE KEY AND GO! 🌍🚙**

After months of planning Travels With Tau, it’s starting to feel very, very real.

**Tau is coming.**

👉 **So here’s one for the experienced overlanders in the group: you’re 15 days from departure on a 7–8 week cross-border trip — what is the ONE thing you would check, do or pack now that people most commonly forget?**

I’ve made my lists, checked them repeatedly and I’m feeling pretty well prepared… **but this is exactly the time when I want you lot to tell me what I’ve forgotten! 😂**

Let’s see what comes up in the comments. 👇

🍎 **APPLE C***R VINEGAR WELLNESS TONIC**

Looking for a simple natural drink to add to your daily routine?

Try this refreshing Apple C***r Vinegar Wellness Tonic. It combines apple c***r vinegar with ginger, cinnamon and lemon — simple ingredients you probably already have in the kitchen.

# # # 🌿 THE RECIPE

**For approximately 7 servings:**

• 100 mL apple c***r vinegar
• 1 litre water
• Juice of 2 fresh lemons
• 2–3 cm fresh ginger, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1–2 tablespoons honey — optional
• A few fresh mint leaves — optional

# # # 🥤 HOW TO MAKE IT

Add everything to a glass bottle or jug and mix thoroughly.

Leave it in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the ginger and other flavours to infuse.

Shake or stir before using.

# # # HOW TO USE IT

Pour approximately **150 mL of the concentrate** into a glass and add another **150–250 mL of cold water**.

Have one serving a day, preferably with or shortly before a meal.

If you've never used apple c***r vinegar regularly, start with a smaller serving and see how you tolerate it.

# # # 🍎 WHY APPLE C***R VINEGAR?

Vinegar contains **acetic acid**, which research suggests may help moderate the rise in blood glucose following a carbohydrate-containing meal. Ginger and cinnamon also make this considerably more enjoyable than drinking vinegar and water alone!

But remember: no drink magically “detoxes” your body or melts belly fat. Good health still comes down to what we repeatedly do — nutritious food, movement, sleep and sensible lifestyle choices.

⚠️ **IMPORTANT:** Never drink apple c***r vinegar undiluted. The acidity can irritate the digestive tract and damage tooth enamel. Rinse your mouth with plain water after drinking it. People taking diabetes medication, insulin or certain diuretics should discuss regular vinegar consumption with their healthcare professional.

🌿 **Simple ingredients. Simple habits. Better choices.**

Would you try this?

Save the recipe and share it with someone who enjoys natural health ideas.
