Michael Eades provides excellent information about four popular diets – Atkins, Ornish, Zone and LEARN – and provides intelligent commentary on them.

If you are confused by the contradictory advice offered in the press, by books, and by medical advisers; and if you are prepared to spend half an hour taking on board some new information I strongly recommend this post to you.

The truth is, all these diets have some good points. The trick comes in knowing what the good parts are, and at what times they might suit you.

Michael Eades’ post will help you get to the truth underlying these diets. You will then be in a position to judge yourself what you should be eating, and what you should not.

It’s a great piece.

Let me know in the comments what you think.

Lloyds Pharmacy in the UK has recently introduced ‘virtual doctors’ into 300 of its pharmacy stores.

This gap in the market has been filled for two reasons. Firstly, patients are more likely to diagnose themselves on the Internet. And secondly, fewer than one third of patients are able to get to see their doctor within 48 hours according to a recent study.

The chemist chain decided that the time was right to encourage patients into their branches to ‘consult’ the in-store terminal to work out what they need and, if appropriate, to walk out a few minutes later with a prescription filled out.

Question: Do you think this is a useful trend? Would you be comfortable having use of an in-store ‘doctor’? Leave a comment.

A cytokine storm. in the body is an immune system over-reaction which causes fluid to build up in the lungs. It is the reason why young and healthy people – with strong immune systems – can die from an infection like swine ‘flu.

Some other pandemics have had this effect of killing the otherwise healthy disproportionately. (Not a large proportion though – only about 15% of deaths have been attributed to those who were previously completely healthy.)

Check out the swine ‘flu article before you decide whether or not to take Tamiflu.

Read about some herbs to boost the immune system.
