create a program to return you to optimal health sooner rather than later. A national problem In Australia our tendency to over-eat


and under-chew causes undigested food to leave the stomach, where it ferments in the small intestine, and breaks down, not by digestion, but from bacterial and yeast action, causing unnecessarily high volumes of toxins as byproduct. This in turn causes fatigue, stress, and an overloaded immune system. There is strong evidence for links with


depression, anxiety, autism, Aspergers, hyperactivity, attention deficits and related behaviour and learning problems. Even allergies and fibromyalgia have been linked. In reality, relief, cure and healing are


easier and more readily available than would first be apparent. As our population wakes up to these natural means, we can take greater responsibility for our own well-being, and, in doing so, may just prevent Australia from becoming a pharmaceutically-dependent welfare state. Here’s to our nation’s wellbeing. And if you’re coming over for Singapore
