Flu season and ground-breaking practitioner training

Our team is flat out this week preparing for our first-of-its-kind nutritional practitioner training series, to be held at the Sheepdrove organic farm in Berkshire this Saturday. You’ll find out more in our write-up about it. Given we still have a few spaces available, we urge any interested practitioners, especially those specialising in nutrition, to book asap.

Our second piece takes a look at why so many people are opting to not have their seasonal flu jab. It’s unfortunate that doctors and authorities often look at those choosing not to vaccinate as ignorant, when often it is the authorities who create the problem by giving insufficient or misleading information about either safety or effectiveness. The reality is that in most parts of the world, we’re still a long way from being offered proper informed consent over vaccination, least of all being offered comprehensive alternative options for those who choose not to vaccinate.

To find out why Monsanto lobbyists have been banned from the European Parliament, why botanicals continue to be in the EU legislators’ crosshairs and how a leading UK healthy authority is now talking-up lifestyle changes for type 2 diabetes – check out this week’s news update.
