How the humble gluten-free diet could stem the bleeding in healthcare.
Burgeoning and unsustainable healthcare costs are a burden on the Australian economy: $106 billion in 2021-22 and a considerable chunk, around $38 billion[2] was outlaid for chronic ‘forever’ diseases. But here’s a question. How sure are we that medicine’s approach is the most effective for tackling disease?

What is a diagnosis? Most of us believe it is something that will help us get better. Yet the stark reality is - diagnosis and treatment rarely heal us. Is it time to question medicine’s method?
The murky past of food pyramids
If you thought government food advisories were based on modern knowledge of nutrition, that is - how to stay well and avoid disease - you would be mistaken. Faulty information on famous food pyramid charts is actually driving rates of disease.
‘Incurable’ – what you’re told when medicine has reached its limits
What if ‘incurability’ is just … an emergency stopgap, a useful fallback position for medicine? Because, by definition, when a patient’s sickness cannot be cured ... medicine has reached its limits.
Road testing diagnosis
If you thought diagnosis solves illness - think again. In fact it only names your disease - and prescribes fixes to relieve symptoms. The root cause is never discovered. So because so much rides on every diagnosis - let’s Road Test it.
Government advisory still recommends foods linked to serious disease as ‘healthy’.
Consumers are sleepwalking into incurable disease - due to outdated nutrition advice.
The latest on dementia and the effects of gluten
When you don’t know what’s going on - you feel frightened. Dementia is devastating. But clinical studies now implicate food toxins in the formation brain plaques. Studies have shown that avoiding those foods (a low toxin diet) can arrest disease progress - and help prevent further damage … so why do we still turn to drugs?
Why are we so sick?
Go into any coffee shop and listen . . . and you will hear conversations just like this. These are educated people – who heed doctors’ advice about eating healthy and getting plenty of exercise. They know their cholesterol level, take their meds, monitor their blood pressure – and have annual ’flu jabs. They do the right thing. And yet - any of us can be struck down with dreadful disease for no reason the doctor can give.
