Distortions, deception and LIES says Dr. Joseph Mercola
"distortions, deceptions and lies"
If you’re into natural health, you may have come across the name of Dr. Joseph Mercola.
Believe me, Dr. Mercola is a very rare breed of doctor. He’s largely abandoned the sinking ship that is “The medical model” and we’re in for one hell of a storm before that ship goes down.
It’s the very fact that Dr. Mercola is a doctor that makes his views so very poignant. Get this… Read more
Make your fruit smoothie more delicious, quicker to make and cost less
If you’re following the Habit Guide diet or if you’re just into fruit smoothies, I’ve got a great little tip for you.
Up until recently I’ve been slicing up apples, bananas, berries and cherries to add to my morning smoothie.
Well Mike came over to Ireland for a visit recently and while we were browsing around Tesco’s (a supermarket in the UK & Ireland) we spotted a big bag of frozen Red Berry Smoothie Mix…
You get 4 seperate portions in there, with each portion containing a mix of…
- strawberries
- red grapes
- bananas
- blueberries
So we picked it up and decided to give it a go. Naturally, when we got back to the house I shoved it in my freezer and forgot all about it… Read more

Healing with a raw food diet
An interview with David Klein
Mike: Welcome Dave, to Habit Guide… OK, first of all, could you tell us a bit about yourself and the work that you’re doing with regards to diet and healing and so on… and how you got into it all…
Dave: Well, it’s quite a story so I’ll just give you the edited highlights :-) I’m editor and publisher of Living Nutrition Magazine which comes out twice a year. It’s America’s only raw food lifestyle magazine and we have 3,000 subscribers in 40 countries… Read more
Vitamin B12 analogues and deficiency
Carla asks a very important and interesting question…
“Thanks for the updates… I love the reminder to check in! And you always have something interesting goin’ on… I’ve been meaning to enquire about an issue and wondered if you’d do a write up about it as I’ve not found anything definitive yet.
OK, it’s the B12 issue… we all know that spirulina and other green algae have B12 analogues in them that are NOT readily absorbed. My question is, do they interfere with the absorption of regular ol’ B12?! Some say yes, do not ingest them… others are naysayers and say they have synergistic benefits. It’s really confusing and I would like to know your take on this! Thanks… hope that makes sense :-) Have a great weekend!”

OK, in case you think that second paragraph is written in a foreign language… it’s not :-)
Non-vegans are probably not going to have a clue what this question actually means. So a bit of background information to start…
Those making an ethical choice — vegans and vegetarians naturally want to get all their nutrition needs from food, without needing to take supplements. In part, this is because they want to justify their choices.
If they have to resort to supplements then it suggests something is wrong with the diet. They want their choices to have a sound rational basis, and who can blame them? Read more
Is GM food safe to eat?

Few health topics are more hotly debated than the GM food issue and for good reason.
Naturally consumers want to know if GM food is safe to eat.
But it’s not just consumers demanding action on GM food, many scientists are very concerned too…
Many feel GM foods are a time-bomb just waiting to go BANG. And God help us if it does.
In 2002, the Government of Zambia rejected an aid shipment because it contained GM corn. Seems you can’t even give the stuff away! This would be hilarious if it weren’t such a serious subject and lives weren’t at stake…
Scorpion genes in your corn
Do you really want scorpion genes in your corn? GM food is just one aspect of an increasing bleak picture of modern farming based on high yields and profits. The Biotech companies such as Monsanto developing GM foods aren’t doing it for the love of it is my guess… Read more
