Thank you for sticking with me despite the lower volume of content this year. It has been tough juggling full time work and family in this land while trying to keep writing. I really appreciate your support.

I would love to edit and publish more guest blogs so should you have a nice idea, please feel free to drop me an email. To retain the character of the blog, I expect guest bloggers to back claims with the best available evidence from research or from credible sources. Of course scientists only know so much about anything but we learn what is known so far about health from their findings. I would like this blog to continue to be seen as reliable and credible so I do turn away submissions based on unfounded statements and rumours.

I look forward to hearing from you and it will be a pleasure to present your work on the blog. Please note that as this blog does not make money, there is no pay for publication. Perhaps, one day, that will change.

Stay with me as we navigate this strange new world order. Innovation in health is moving so fast – its hard to catch up. At the same time, too many people purport to know about how our bodies work – offering terrible health advice. In the current climate, reality can be stranger than fiction and its sometimes not easy to tell apart the two.

This blog will continue to be the voice that leans heavily on research evidence.
