Quality of Life – 7 steps to perfect health part II: greens
A traditional doctor would say “take an aspirin, and call me in the morning”. Why not say, as Dr. Robert O. Young might, “take a cucumber, and call me in the morning”?
We know that fruits and vegetables are good for us and we should credit our parents for telling us to eat our greens and salads to grow big and strong, because they were right. To enjoy more energy in life it is a good idea to add more greens to the menu. But why … Continue reading

Quality of Life – Give the body a boost
More tales from America this issue, following our Health Detective’s recent sabbatical at Dr. Young’s pH Miracle centre in California. This time, the story of 15 year old Linda, recently diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, a form of cancer that appears in the lymph nodes. While this has a successful cure rate of over 80% with traditional chemotherapy and radiation, this article shows how complementary care is still critical when people use conventional medicine.
I met Linda in December last year, just after she had finished … Continue reading

When we get bitten by a mosquito, the skin swells because the body sends blood and lymph … Continue reading

Keeping the basic principles of traditional Feng Shui such as the 5 elements, … Continue reading
Quality of Life: Living the ph Miracle
This issue our health detectives have been spending time on the Costa del Sol with a man considered to be at the very cutting edge of natural health – Dr. Robert O. Young, pioneer of the ‘New Biology’. I went along to his two week retreat to find out more.
Regular readers of La Chispa will be familiar with the idea of seeing our bodies like a fish tank – when the water gets dirty, change the water or the fish get sick. When the … Continue reading
