Over 25 years ago James Hansen presented evidence about global warming to US congress in 1988. Discussions have gone on since then and most outcomes are about postponing decisions. The general public has not been activated except in small pockets around the world. Today in Southern Africa, climate change is already having a major impact on weather, food supply and water and … [Read more...]

Parasite in fish’s mouth becomes his tongue
A parasite that lives in a fish's mouth and becomes its tongue? Sixty million viruses in a teaspoon of sea water? A shimmering sunset glistening through the curl of a golden barrel? Just a few snippets from the Wavescape Slide Night night in Cape Town. More than 200 people sat enthralled through 10 inspirational talks by 10 ocean thought leaders who shared their science, … [Read more...]

True food enlivens body and soul
I was privileged to meet the creater and owner of Organic at Heart, “a true food restaurant” in Plumstead, where we recently enjoyed a great staff meeting. If you look at the menu and notice that they cater for wheat free, sugar free, gluten free, raw, vegetarian and vegan eaters, it’s obvious that the woman behind this initiative knows her health science. But little did I … [Read more...]
What does prosperity mean in Cape Town?
A Spiritual Master once said to me that where our thoughts dwell is who we become. Expanding this idea globally (and judging by the symptoms) it is obvious that western collective thought is about progress, moneymaking, consumerism and individualism.

Light heals at a cellular level
How our physical body is able to initiate and complete its own healing is one of its most remarkable features. Even a simple finger cut initiates responses from dozens of types of cells – the smallest units in our body – coordinated to achieve specific results, such as stopping blood loss, killing foreign bacteria and preventing infection, creating new blood capillaries, … [Read more...]
Natural fix for family health – Part 1
I believe that mothers are born natural healers. Intuition led us for millions of years to care for our young and look after their health. That’s why we are normally the first to notice when one of our family is off colour. I once had a relatively conscious GP – a rare breed in South Africa. He told me long ago: “The most important thing a medical student can learn in … [Read more...]

Therapeutic effects of laser light
Receiving a therapeutic dose of laser light is similar to experiencing the healing effects of a tranquil day, infused with gentle, warm sunlight. Sitting in the sun, one can sometimes feel it's warm fingers caressing even your bones. I believe this is what it feels like to experience the production of Vitamin D. Laser therapy may contribute to the production of vitamin D in … [Read more...]
