Read as much info as you can from Dr Tom O'Bryan's website : thedr.com He has video interviews on his website that you will initially learn lots from v quickly before moving on to reading all the info on his website. Also go to you tube having typed in Dr Tom O'Bryan interviews, similarly Dr Datis Kharrazian. You are about to enter the world of Functional Medicine ( They find the root cause, rather than prescription overuse)

There is a group of British GPs/Doctors/ health professionals who have formed the

'Public Health Collaboration' Their conference which provides so many interesting presentations, was held Oct 2019 - available on their website and you tube. You can view their 2017 and 2018 conference speeches, listed on their website

You could also register your email with the Functional Forum, where you will find many presentations from cutting edge medical professionals and scientists, experts in their fields. You just need to learn from the experts. It takes approx 17-20 yrs on average for accepted science /info in medical journals to filter through to practising GP's /Consultants. The Functional Dorum is organised by British : James Maskell but the movement is mainly in the US but James being British has held Forums in the UK last year and 2018. Also in Guernsey which is not limited by our NHS constraints. In Guernsey the conference was called

Journey to 100 (I think - basically about how to live a long healthy life to 100)

I don’t though you might want to take a look at Chris Kresser or Mark Hyman’s websites. Lots of other functional medicine practitioners advice available freeely on’t’interweb with regard to avoiding or replacing prescription pharmaceuticals with beneficial farmaceuticals.

Hi Bad Hare, Have you come across the British group of medical professionals 'Pulic Health Collaboration' ? Conference presentations held in London, on you tube and their website. Very interesting. Thank goodness the Functional Health mindset is reaching the UK :)

Look into red/near infra red light - go to redlightman .com website. Read all his info on his site. Mitochondria benefit from red/ near infra red light use. Mitochondria , thousands in each cell . No cell will function properly if your mitochondria are not being supported by you = nutrients you provide, light at specific wavelengths and sun exposure and life style changes such as movement but not over exertion. When you are ready , can then wean off meds. x
