Mary Oliver famously asked: 
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
As 2023 draws to a close in the western world, this edition of Health Triangle Magazine focuses far more on the present and the future than on the past. 
The tone is optimistic. But realistic. 
Plants feature prominently. But not uncritically. Sofi health reveal how they rely on the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew to provide them with independent quality control. 
Kirsten Hartvig’s new book entitled ‘Food as Medicine’ is clear in its presentation of plants amazing strengths but also their occasional weaknesses. 
New broadcaster on UK Health Radio and new contributor to the magazine, Dr Howard Rankin, makes the case for getting real when it comes to making New Year resolutions. Historical experience shows that making lasting changes to old habits requires much more than just wishful thinking!
Another new radio show presenter sharing her truth, in written form for the first time, is our very own Raphaela Ilgenfritz. Hers is not an easy story but Trish Beaver has told it simply and clearly, in good and honest style.
Likewise Johann Ilgenfritz joined other CEOs in spending a November night sleeping rough in central London. In doing so, he raised both Awareness and Funds.
We cannot change a single second of what is past. But one new day at a time, we all have a fresh chance with what Mary Oliver once described as our ‘one wild and precious life’.
Lots of luck! 
Lots of love and all good wishes for what’s left of 2023 and the whole of 2024  - and beyond…!

“ Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness…” The English romantic poet, John Keats, published his ode to autumn in September 1819 - over 200 years ago! He was just 23 when he wrote it and only 25 when he died. 
The more things change, the more they remain the same? Superficially, perhaps. 
The seasons remain the same but the climate has changed significantly and so have the pesticides. 
Food production has become ultra processed so that most ‘ordinary’ food tastes pleasant and is affordable, yet it is far less nutritious and now potentially toxic. Obesity is now a massive problem, literally, while Type 2 Diabetes is a huge yet largely preventable condition.
Breaking News adds figures to that topic while the Gardening and Recipe sections offer healthy organic alternatives. 
Diet, exercise and mental health - it’s not rocket science. Healthy body, healthy mind - the concept is available to all of us. 
The power of the mind to focus in order to solve problems or to achieve goals is explored in several places in this issue. Hypnotherapy comes up quite surprisingly in Yes to Life as well as from Niki Cassar. Likewise diet comes up in Breaking News and also in Yes to Life. Positivity comes up in a variety of different articles including Ken D Foster’s master class, with its disciplined SMART objectives in search of fame and fortune. 
However you choose to use it, a wealth of opportunities awaits you…

August is a month of abundance - and excellence!
UK Health Radio announces all its latest Health Awards Winners. 
Janey Lee Grace previews more contenders for her Platinum Awards. 
And in Paris the Olympics acknowledge global excellence with Gold, Silver and Bronze on a daily basis. 
French Canadian superstar Celine Dion gave her first public performance for four long years with a ‘Hymn to Love‘ made famous originally by Edith Piaf. The magazine itself is filled with examples of the power of the mind to overcome problems from panic or anxiety to premature ageing, from self-limiting beliefs to small business challenges, from the unrecognised quantity of young carers to growing doubts around the verdict on Lucy Letby.
Thank goodness the Gardens are green and there is an abundance of good things to eat and to share. Creativity is in full bloom! As Robin Daly always says: Say yes to life this month - and always!

Choices!
Life is full of choices. All choices have consequences. For every word gained, a possible world is lost.
 And vice versa
This edition is full of choices. For a start, we are in the final stages of not one but two Awards’ schemes: the 2024 Health Awards and Janey Lee Grace’s latest Platinum Awards. In both cases, the nominees have been pre-selected for excellence. Like the Oscars, those you choose as winners represent the Best of the Best. La creme de la creme, as they say in la belle France. 
In the long hot Summer ahead of us, you can choose sun o r you can choose shade. An ill-informed choice can be dangerous - even fatal. Witness the premature death of Dr Michael Mosley. 
You can choose between Vaping and smoking. Both choices have consequences.
You can choose between drinking alcohol. 
Or not. 
If you’re lucky, you can choose between moderation and excess.
You can choose between rose-tinted perception and catastrophising. You can also work on a more realistic assessment.
Health Triangle and UK Health Radio are both committed to helping you make well-informed choices on all aspects of health and well-being.
Choose wisely!

Then you'll find the regular NHS feature strides into Complementary Alternative Medicine with a fascinating piece on Acupuncture.
Joanne Lee’s piece on Divine Mysteries is a spirited argument for a return to a 13 month calendar, pre-Gregorian and naturally female.

In their piece on Dementia, u3a introduces us to a colourful character, with impressive medical  credentials, called Sir John Armstrong Muir Gray, who has written several books including one called ‘Sod 70!’
In Yes to Life, Dr Robert B. Ellis’s Witches of Cancer is a particularly rewarding read.
Peter Nichols’ new book ‘Granite Harbor’ is now out and definitely out of the ordinary.

Plus seasonal recipes, gardening and all kinds of other good ideas, old and new.
This must be the most promising time of the year, every year - whatever’s going on anywhere else.
Enjoy the brighter light and the shorter nights!
And please do get involved in the AWARDS...

Of the earth, earthy! This is a particularly down-to-earth edition of Health Triangle magazine. 
As always, there is universal concern for planet Earth itself - including Awakening to Earth’s Call, Mother Earth Day and Global Youth Service Day. 
However, closer to home there are also features on more immediate opportunities - and threats. Like clearing your clutter, physically as well as mentally, how to deal with stress better, how to sleep better, how to cook and eat better - and how to make the most of your garden, in particular how to grow your own healthy vegetables.

Even Poetry Corner has an earthy poem by Sylvia Plath entitled ‘Sheep in Fog’ - a title that could conceivably be applied to the general public recently in relation to the cancer diagnoses of King Charles and the Princess of Wales.
In Robin Daly’s regular feature ‘Yes to Life’, Beverley de Valois, the author of a new book on Acupuncture and Cancer Survivorship, provides evidence of the contribution the ancient Chinese art of acupuncture can make to the quality of life of cancer survivors - whether they are paupers or princesses, cancer does not discriminate. 

Jane Hutchinson, co-founder of Hello Love, tells how in her personal breast cancer case the surgeon was originally planning to operate on the wrong breast! It is always worth watching out for human error.

13 year old Martha Mills was not so lucky. Despite the concerns expressed by her parents, the doctors responsible for her care failed to recognise the sepsis that eventually killed her.
Martha’s tragic story is at the core of ‘Breaking News’ and the arrival of ‘Martha’s Rule’.
Know your rights! Take responsibility for your own health. Ask questions. 
Your life could depend on it - or the life of a loved one.

Once again, as expected, Spring has sprung! And what a busy month we have ahead - with Mother’s Day and International Women’s Day, as well as Allergy Month, Women’s History Month, National Kidney Month, plus Ramadan and Easter! And all this in the second month of the Chinese Year of the Dragon, the first Wooden Dragon for 60 years! Exciting times, some of which are reflected in this new edition, with recipes to match:
Brave cover girl Faye Louise tells her own extraordinary ‘inside’ story. 
Exercise gets significant academic approval from Australia and from this issue on recommended Workouts.
Susiebnash shares a moving poetic tribute to her late husband, Robin Nash, who died over a year ago with Cancer. 
Nom de plume Anne Godfrey reveals how a legitimate and medically prescribed 5 mg of the then new ‘wonder drug’ Benzodiazepine turned into an illegitimate 100 mg acquisition from an unknown commercial source on the Internet - such is the power of dependency and addiction. Janey Lee Grace introduces FAB, a preventative method for more common risk situations. 
As always Niki Cassar promotes the power of the mind, Robert Manni defies ageing and Robin Daly introduces relevant new information, including the benefits of Prehabilitation. For a change, this month’s movie reviews all cover films that have already won awards at BAFTA and other international festivals. Now they line up again in Hollywood for the OSCARS…
We invite you to believe that the Best is Yet to Come!

“Events, dear boy, events!”
These words famously phrased the dire warning given to Harold Macmillian when he was UK Prime Minister in the mid 20th Century. 
Today, towards the end of the first quarter of the 21st Century, we now face more major elections worldwide than ever before, as well as more potentially threatening ‘events’ than ever before. 
Whatever else, it will not be dull!

This bumper issue of Health Triangle Magazine remains totally apolitical. We are concerned exclusively with your health and personal well-being - from cradle to grave! NHS focuses on daily dental health from Milk Teeth onwards. 
J J Stenhouse provides her personal tribute to her recently departed friend and outstanding co-presenter Dr Mark Goulston. 
Poetry Corner features a poem by Longfellow entitled ‘The Tide rises, the Tide falls’ suggesting an unchanging constancy. Yet the water is less cold now than it was when the poem was written - but still cold enough to consider the benefits of an Ice Swim.

Change is not always for the better! 
And the air is more polluted than when the poem was written - yet contributors contend that a thoughtful diet can reduce its impact, as can proprietary gels. 
The importance of both Sleep and Silence are also fully recognised. The power of the heart and mind are totally acknowledged. 
There is a lot to read, a lot to consider. 
The tide rises, the tide falls.

“O martyred youth and manhood overthrown 
The burden of your wrongs is on my head.”

When Siegfried Sassoon wrote these words over 100 years ago, they referred to the ‘war to end all wars.’
 If only…!
 The Heroes feature in this edition confirms that was only wishful thinking around the end of the so-called Great War. 
At around the same time, Dr Ita Wagman was proving the healing power of mistletoe. 
In the first quarter of the last century, the human race, which had relied on plants for thousands of years, switched direction in favour of pharmaceuticals and surgery. 
Today sofi.health, a newcomer to UK Health Radio, is applying rigorous discipline in order to present ‘Nature’s science for modern medicine’, with regular individual feedback from an online community some 15,000 strong!
Since the global pandemic in recent years, health has become everyone’s single biggest issue - physical health and mental health and the synergy between the two.
The power of the mind is acknowledged time and time again in this issue. Joanne-Divine Life Yogini offers optimism is her passionate ‘dark night of the soul’ article. Niki Cassar and others acknowledge that the power to heal all our dis-ease is available within us.
Dr Spiegel and others believe we can and should access it ourselves. How better to deal with potentially debilitating stress or anxiety than by identifying it clearly? And perhaps recording it on a daily basis in a personal journal?
Our only indisputable power is over our own attitudes towards the problems which confront us. And the behaviour which is born of those attitudes. It is not realistic to imagine any individual among us can solve the war in Ukraine or in Gaza or anywhere else on earth. 
In Henry V, Shakespeare glorifies war with the idea that the ‘youth of England is on fire.’
More realistically he says: ‘Now thrive the armourers!’ 
And the Funeral directors, too, of course.

“Matters of Life and Death ”
This of Health Triangle magazine is more than usually reflective of mortality. That is not for one second to suggest that it is morbid in any way!
UK Health Radio star presenter, Mark Goulston, writes about his realistic reaction to a diagnosis of an incurable condition. He has his own personal plan for a good death and he is executing it in stoical style. 
Exemplary advice!
Breaking News highlights the appalling and unacknowledged fate of literally hundreds of children and young people apparently lost in wildfires in Hawaii.
Joyce Grayson celebrated her great life of 90 years, while her nephew Barry Graham acknowledged her great age with original life-affirming poetry.
In Yes to Life, Dr Adeel Khan reveals how natural Killer cells called KC for short can be extracted, boosted and reintroduced - to kill cancer cells!
In TV review, Painkiller records the shocking activity of a big player in the Opioid scandal.
The NHS feature focuses on the most common cancer for women - breast cancer. 
Graceful Ageing examines ageing most appropriately for men, including dealing with erectile dysfunction.
In between, you will find articles on living well, living without stress and being the very best you can be, whatever your age.
Confronting the inevitability of death, should make living life more meaningful but not necessarily, more urgent. 


“Night Terrors and Nightmares ”

This is the specific topic for the NHS feature in this month’s edition of Health Triangle Magazine. Yet it could be an over-arching theme for the world in which we all now find ourselves - internationally with war in Europe and the threat of war with China, locally with the potential impact of Climate Change and the possible collapse of traditional law and order. 
Unlike mainstream media, Breaking News looks objectively at an independently established link between mRNA and excess deaths from myocarditis. The key point is that there is no point in losing sleep over things we cannot change - like the war in Ukraine or the tensions around Taiwan. Our responsibility is primarily to ourselves alone. This is the only area in which we have real control. What we think, what we eat, what exercise we take. What we put on our skin, into our heads or into our bodies.
From the cover onwards, you can see that we are 100% in favour of optimism. How can we make the best of our own reality? That Is the question we need to focus on and here you have a variety of sincere opinions. We are not asking you to accept them all unconditionally, word for word. We are asking you to consider them all, with an open mind. Contempt prior to investigation is neither scientific nor rational. The test may come if the World Health Organisation declares a new global emergency. Will you still accept that mRNA injections really are as safe and effective as Dr Fauci once claimed? Or that there is any conclusive evidence for the benefits of wearing masks?
UK Health Radio is an independent information-station. Health Triangle Magazine reflects that independent freedom-of-speech principle. We simply want our readers to be well informed on any topic before they make their own independent individual opinion.

“In the summer time when all the trees and leaves are green and the red bird sings…”

2023 has been the hottest year, apparently, in 100,000 years. Yet by the end of this century, 2023 may be considered ‘cool’ - and not in a good sense. Breaking News already reveals 60,000 excess heat-related deaths last year in Europe alone. 
In this high Summer issue, we offer you an abundant smorgasbord of thoughtful articles, from the few well-chosen words of Dorothy Parker on her single perfect rose to the expansive visionary overview of the Divine Yogini. 
In between, Janey Lee Grace previews potential Award-winners in both Books and Products. Robin Daly provides fresh insights into integrative cancer care, while the NHS offers a rational assessment of M.E. which was once pejoratively nicknamed ‘yuppie flu’. 
Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou are presented as models of inspiration, while Wolfgang Sonnenburg offers his unique brand of Winspiration.
Elsewhere you can find good information on everything from your liver to your libido, from your eyes to your diet, from a healthy smile to a good night out. 
Our contributors’ aim is not so much to tell you what to think but more to highlight what to consider. 
Generally, we are in favour of moderation in all things but when it comes to this bumper Summer issue of Health Triangle Magazine, we honestly believe you can’t get too much of a good thing…!

June in the UK this year has been the hottest on record and climate experts are now suggesting that this may the new normal in the immediate future.
If so, pure water and good hydration (NHS feature) will become increasingly important in all our future health programmes, as will avoiding any excess of ultra processed foods - even though they cost less, taste better and last longer than more nutritional alternatives! (Breaking News)
Like supermarket Meal Deals, the ‘bargain’ appeal is a double-edged sword. The rise in obesity in the West is solid evidence of an increasing problem. The tastes developed in childhood for sugar and salt inevitably make dietary best practice more difficult to adopt in adulthood. 

Poetry Corner looks at one man’s whimsical vision of his ideal world, while the piece on Chris Grimes’ most recent Improv workshop in France explores his virtually limitless practical possibilities for imagination and positivity. 
‘Yes to Life’ offers more courses than usual in exploring more integrative approaches to cancer treatment.

You wil find lots to think about in the mid-summer edition of this magazine - all of it completely free from artificial sweeteners, synthetic flavourings or unnatural preservatives.

“Make no small plans!”                                     
This edition of Health Triangle is brimming with ideas about making changes for the better. The biggest is perhaps the invitation to join a petition for Global Transformation one hundred thousand signatures strong...! On a more individual level, there are numerous invitations to take advice from recognised experts. The theme ‘Your life, your choice’ runs through many different articles from different authors, from Winspiration to Retreats and Renewals in Spain, either live or on a video link. 

Fear too raises its ugly head - along with the means to deal with it, whether it is in hypnotherapy with Niki Cassar or by identifying it through reading Julia Dodsworth ‘State of Fear.’ 
The new powers sought by the World Health Organisation are troubling, especially as they are potentially global and made by unelected executives. 

‘Joie de Vivre’ is the elixir we seek - through sensible self-care, healthy food and regular exercise. The only charge we can ever guarantee is one that relates exclusively to ourselves. You can take a horse to water but you cannot make it drink! No one can force us to do anything. Our lives are own responsibility. Even how we choose to end them. Right now, let’s enjoy the green leaves of Summer and the Earth in all its bounteous abundance. 
Who knows where any of us will be this time next year?

The Powers that Be…?

Human beings have always been curious. Have always looked for causes of problems and sought meaning in life. Now it feels that we may have moved into a Post Truth era where the mainstream media has a vested interest in toeing the party line rather than challenging the conventional narrative. 
UK Health Radio and Health Triangle Magazine both treasure their total independence from either party politics or shareholder pressure. Our broadcasters and feature-writers enjoy an open platform from which to express their honest and informed opinions.
In Yes to Life, for example, Mark Lintern and Robin Daly discuss at length Mark’s new personal research on Cancer. It’s fascinating stuff. At the other end of the spectrum, the NHS feature focuses on Restless Legs Syndrome. Rare but still fascinating!
Breaking News explores the disturbing global suppression of scientific debate throughout the Covid crisis and the unelected role of the World Health Organisation in future pandemics. 
In between, we look at the potential power of the mind in a variety of articles including Winspiration and Ageing Part 4 and Hypnotherapy. Emma -Jane Taylor breaks the silence on child sexual abuse and Andrew Tyler’s audiobook gets a global platform on UK Health Radio for the first time ever!
Every month, we hope to demonstrate that the page and the microphone are more powerful than the totalitarian sword.

“To thine own self be true”
This famous Shakespeare quote is always more easily said than done! Nevertheless it remains an excellent ideal and it is demonstrably shared by all the contributors to Health Triangle Magazine, where we provide an open platform for diverse opinions, provided they are honest and sincere - which they certainly are in this edition. Danielle Sax writes on the Power of Authenticity, Janey Lee Grace suggests good ways to start your day, Wolfgang Sonnenburg’s Winspiration piece expands the original Shakespearean theme! At the outer ends of the free thinking, Robin Jillian looks at Relationships, Anthony Malpas has a book which claims that his faith in Christ cured his cancer and Robert Manni presents his case that Ageing is a Choice! Meanwhile Joanne Divine Life Yogini takes a spiritual view of Tarot cards and Niki Cassar introduces the extraordinary methodology of Dolores Cannon.
In other pieces, Breaking News touches on the moral dilemma of a journalist given politically sensitive WhatsApp messages in confidence as background for a biography, who then decided to reveal them publicly for the ‘greater good’ - as she saw it. 
And we haven’t even started on the experiences of people who chose not to be vaccinated…
Enjoy this Spring edition and go forward better-informed on a multitude of topics…!

“Curiosity is the most powerful force on this planet.”
Janey Lee Grace quotes this assertion by Dr Zach Bush in her introduction to her brilliant new TEDx talk. Curiosity is certainly the single most positive quality for anyone trying to make sense of a world which seems to become more complicated with every year that passes. A common condition like Athlete’s Foot is so much simpler to recognise and deal with appropriately than say ambition, identity or love. Wolfgang Sonnenburg looks at Burnout. Breaking News flags up the aftermath of a gender identity crisis. Robin Jillian dives deep into the complications of unrealistic expectations above love. Two new talk shows are featured -Hurt Less, Live More and Mother Speaks. Yes to Life contains a claim that iatrogenic disease - that is a disease induced unintentionally by a physician - is ‘the third largest cause of death in the developed world’! In the movie reviews, The Good Nurse, is all about the uncovering of America’s worst ever serial killer. Life, it seems, is not just complicated.
But infinitely complicated. Curiosity provides the opportunity for us to learn from our own mistakes, as well as from other people’s currently and historically. Whether you’re talking about health or wealth, life or love, war or peace, you owe it to yourself to keep an ever open mind and to stay curious - today, tomorrow and forever!

Welcome to the first edition of Health Triangle Magazine of 2023! One theme which emerges, in different forms, in this issue is the idea of taking personal responsibility for our own individual health. 
Breaking News asserts that the NHS would save hundreds of millions of pounds Sterling every year if preventable illness was more widely recognised as a real win: win opportunity - rather than being lazily ignored the way it is at present.
An anonymous nurse explains how his decision to strike is more about ethical values than an inflation-ravaged pay packet. Janey Lee Grace highlights the opportunities offered by an excellent organic diet. New arrival Robert Manni shares his personal experience of how his five-point plan has worked to enrich his whole life both physically and spiritually. Hypnotherapist Niki Cassar discusses another 5-Path Advanced Hypnosis process, which she studied in California with its founder Calvin Banyan. There is also fascinating if disturbing feature on the key practical and psychological factors that can so easily reduce the quality of lives for those living with disabilities.
In the strongest contrast, we look at the unbelievably privileged lives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as presented in their 6 part Netflix Docuseries and as expressed in over 400 pages of almost uninterrupted self-pity by Prince Harry in his current memoir, Spare. With the help of a Pulitzer-prize-winning ghost-writer, Prince Harry articulates his savage hatred for the British tabloid press, his irrational envy of his older brother, William, the Prince of Wales and confesses to his own habitual abuse of drink and drugs. Morbidly fascinating it may be but in no way is it a role model for good living. Hopefully you can find plenty of that elsewhere in the magazine!
With all good wishes for the rest of 2023!


This bumper issue of Health Triangle celebrates 10 years of literally non-stop broadcasting by UK Health Radio - and the start of a new era of global podcasting on 20 well-established  platforms connecting with some 850 million listeners worldwide!
Impossible to imagine given the limited life expectancy predicted for UKHR founder Johann Ilgenfritz at the end February 2012. In his podcast interview with Chris Grimes, Johann chooses a quote from Mark Twain: “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born - and the day you discover what to do with it!” For Johann, that meant letting go of a glamorous international career in fashion photography and pioneering an unmapped journey in global health! For Niki Cassar, it meant letting go of a successful business making TV commercials and developing instead her passion for hypnotherapy and past life regression. For Sam Pope, it meant letting go of a family business, getting a degree in Psychology and pioneering a new technique using tarot cards as psychological levers. For Wolfgang Sonnenburg, it meant letting go of a conventional career as a successful lawyer in Hamburg. Wolfgang Sonnenburg’s success today as a human being is all about ‘getting real and working for the ideal.’
When Nelson Mandela stopped being a prisoner and became instead South Africa’s first Black President, his inaugural speech attributes this quote to him: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” In fact, they came from Marianne Williamson!
This bumper issue of Health Triangle magazine provides a fascinatingly diverse smorgasbord of ideas and information for your consideration and delight. It’s not a race. Take your time. A new year and new challenges are certainly coming your way. Just remember the words of Marianne Williamson: “You are powerful beyond measure!”


“Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”

These words were written by W. B. Yeats around 100 years ago and have a new poignancy today as we come out of a global pandemic and find ourselves witnessing the first conventional war in Europe this century - one that could even conceivably go nuclear. In the year that we have seen the end of longest reign in English history and the shortest premiership ever! In this edition, we focus on the nearer future. At least we can be sure of today! 123 in improving your relatIonships as guided by Sadia Khan. ABC - arthritis, addiction, breast cancer and non-Covid-related deaths that have increased alarmingly. Cancer, of course, early for ovarian and then in our regular feature ‘Yes to Life’. A first for Football - as seen by psychiatric nurse John Sheldon, in his first ever book. Alcohol-free drink that you can make yourself at home or buy across the counter, seduced by the advertising idea ‘All of the fizz. None of the hangover.’ This reminded me of a classic cartoon where a long-suffering wife asks her incorrigible husband what he really wants out of life, to which he replies: ‘All the puddings I can eat, without getting fat!’ Time to get real, dear reader. Certainly not time to catastrophise. Time instead to absorb good information and modify your behaviour for your own benefit and the benefit of those around you. To hope for the best and to be careful where you put your feet - or your vote!

Welcome to the first edition of Health Triangle Magazine since a change of Monarch and a fundamental change in Government policy.
Danielle Sax pays her final tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth with Two Life lessons. No, one is not to avoid having gold taps on your Royal yacht. They concern standards and duty. Queen Elizabeth never expected to be Queen. Her father, George VI, neither expected to be King nor to die aged 56. -when Princess Elizabeth was only 25!
 Even Republicans must acknowledge that the Queen did her duty, in exemplary fashion, continuously, for over 70 years.
How the world has changed in that time!

Young people in cities ask why do we need farms when we’ve got supermarkets? No wonder farmers feel under-appreciated, according to research by Exeter University.
Meanwhile Janey Lee Grace continues her commitment to purity and excellence in her latest Platinum Awards and Robin Daly provides another three fascinating new pieces on coping with cancer. 

The NHS focuses on the risks associated with whitening teeth by all but qualified dental experts, while Patricia Conte-Nelson goes all the way to Hawaii to source her inspiration. 
We welcome Emma-Jane Taylor to the Radio team.
There’s lots more to read, lots more to think about, lots more to add value to your daily journey in these oh-so-turbulent times. 

Stay calm and carry on!

“The best cure for the body is a quiet mind.’

Guess who is credited with this assertion? Hippocrates? No - Napoleon Bonaparte!
The Covid pandemic has created global turbulence and meant that many other significant medical issues have been neglected in the process. Everyone has been challenged by different degrees of uncertainty and anxiety. From adolescents with their statutorily disturbed schooling to the very elderly isolated in their care homes, mental health issues have been centre stage at every stage for the last two years. 
This edition takes a realistic look at a variety of topics starting with an incurable and primarily adolescent problem - acne. “Compare and despair” is an appropriate truism. “Life on life’s terms” remains good advice. “Settle for who you are and what you’ve got.” Cultivate your quiet mind.
Alcohol consumption has increased dramatically  in response to the stress that has confronted everyone during and post Covid. You will find editorial and advertising encouragement for alcohol-free alternatives. But if you are dealing with diabetes and imagine that sugar-free fizzy drinks might be a good choice for you, please think again. 
Cancer was another crucially important condition that was over-shadowed by the relentless focus on Covid. 
Diabetes and Cancer have always got the columns they deserve every month in this magazine. This will continue - as well as an abundance of honest expert opinion and good scientific information. 
On a lighter note, I came back from my long weekend in Verteillac listening to three brilliant young pianists from England, Spain and Germany, with a short Zen poem that I would like to share with you: 
“Sitting quietly
Doing nothing 
Spring comes
The grass grows by itself.”


“Think of naught but to please ye.”

This timely advice remains more valid today than when first expressed hundreds of years ago. Confronting today’s information overload, the need for intelligent optimism is more important than ever. The Divine Life Yogini guides you through the seven Chakras. It’s an ancient road map yet the link between a healthy mind and a healthy body is now independently established. Your bones will age but your attitudes don’t have to! The nutritional value of most food may be in decline but the quality of supplements is increasing. Health Triangle can help you find them. Science is on the side of humanity! The earth has survived for billions of years and will survive for billions more, whatever happens to the weather. The surface environment is what’s vulnerable, not the core. Perception is everything. Action is critical. Life is made with literally billions of passing moments. Breathe the air. See the beauty. Record it in words, in pictures, or at least in memories. Be conscious. Be grateful! Be a reader, be a leader. Take minutes to change your life for the better on a daily basis - because today is all we know we have for sure. The new edition is full of intelligent optimism. Make the most of it.

“Turn your face to the sun and let the shadows fall behind you.”

This advice is attributed to both Walt Whitman and Helen Keller. Either way,it’s good advice. However, if you are going to take it literally, the NHS Health Focus would encourage you to use sunscreen, wear a hat and enjoy the shade. Like Cindy Hurn sitting in her garden with her thoughts, her black cat and her washing in the sunshine on a line. Gail Watson and JJ Stenhouse have curated an amazing collection of female Voices of the 21st Century. And we have added some familiar voices of our own - Janey Lee Grace on skincare and also magnesium, Danielle Sax on worry, Catherine Carrigan in rhythms, Leaha Mattinson on frequencies, Amanda Thomas with more fun facts, Kino MacGregor on imperfection. Then there all the latest Health Awards Winners, Yes to Life, Diet dilemmas, Drinking or not Drinking - and Diabetes back on the beach! Plus a truly beautiful American love poem and reviews of English and American films. We hope you can find plenty in this new edition to brighten your day and enlighten your mind, wherever and whenever you choose to read it!

“You must be willing to leave the life that you planned in order to find the one waiting for you.” Joseph Campbell
If, in 2017, you were making a 5 year plan, it’s hard to believe you might have anticipated either the global pandemic or the war in Ukraine. Yet their impact on everyone’s daily lives and mental health has been absolutely massive. Health Focus recognises that depression can and does affect the young as much as the middle-aged or the old. The effects of this unexpected turbulence are echoed in many other articles. The mind affects the body far more than conventional wisdom ever allowed, say, 100 years ago. This issue provides a wealth of new information and timeless wisdom to help you navigate the challenging terrain in which we all now find ourselves. There is self-motivational inspiration from Ken D. Foster who shares his practical Triathlon experience. There are thoughts on an altogether different plane provided by Joanne Lee Philpott. In between there are down-to-earth realities of everything from Healing Circles to Hygiene Poverty. We invite you to open your mind to our contributors’ insights and ideas, whether it is Cindy Hurn’s recognition of negative space or Chris Grimes’ on air Clearing, via Zoom, where you can share your whole life story in a single 50 minute hour. Your life may be challenging - but it certainly isn’t dull. Enjoy!

“Where have all the flowers gone?”

The complete lyrics of Pete Seeger’s original  folk song seem surprisingly appropriate against the new war in Ukraine. Check them out. When will they ever learn? 
Meanwhile, our lives go on more or less as normal, doing our best to remain healthy, wealthy and wise. At Health Triangle Magazine, our contributors continue to seek and share their wisdom and truth - as they see it. The NHS feature focuses first on Hay Fever. We may be stardust but we react adversely to flower dust, particularly between the months of March and September. There is good news of not one but two sets of Awards designed to recognise excellence across a broad spectrum of products and services. There is intelligent encouragement to look inwards and tap into the positive energy within every one of us, in a variety of well-proven ways. Positive inner energy is there in abundance and readily accessible. Leah Mattinson highlights the therapeutic power of music for both physical and mental health. Janey Lee Grace and others make the case for life without the nation’s number one drug - alcohol. Internationally, Breaking News highlights the hypocrisy of exporting dangerous pesticides and insecticides for financial reward simply because local laws allow the exporters to do so. The letter of the law is for lawyers, the spirit of the law is for honourable humans. When will they ever learn?!

In case you missed the subtle message on the cover, this is the 100th Edition of Health Triangle Magazine. And that we believe is something worth celebrating! We have all come through an extraordinarily challenging experience. As human beings, our primary purpose has simply been surviving the pandemic as best we can, without damaging others or ourselves. In business, the key objective has been to stay in business. In simple terms, staying alive and/or staying afloat. Now we need to acknowledge that life will never be the same again. It has changed forever! But pessimism is counter-productive. Stress is actively debilitating. That’s why our 100th edition is bursting with optimism! Even Poetry Corner features the words of Astrid Mundie, a fully-fledged optimist, if ever I saw one ! We also have a page of good news from around the world. And our first introduction to Zero Zilch Zip, a curator of alcohol-free drinks! It’s still a wonderful world - even for centenarians!

”Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better.”
- Albert Einstein -

Perhaps it is the approach of Spring. This month’s magazine is bubbling with a lot of natural optimism. In some cases the clue is in the title itself - Natural Healing, Natural Beauty, Yes to Life! In others the optimism is there in the text - evidence of dealing with the difficulties that life presents to us. Right-sizing reality and embracing it with gratitude, even grief and loss. My own three months in South Africa has been a wonderful but humbling experience. I am embarrassed by the ignorance of my preconceptions and awe struck by my discovery of amazing natural beauty and fascinating people. My evening under the stars in the private Nature Reserve at Brackenburn made me think of the quote from  Vincent Van Gogh, which I share with you now:
“For my part I know nothing with certainty but the sight of the stars makes me dream.”

Food for thought

Belated welcome to 2022 and the dawning of the Age of Aquarius! The current pandemic has been distressing, disturbing and divisive. It is time to find healing and harmony, beauty and balance. This thought- feeding issue is full of individual ideas and good information for your consideration and digestion. Integrative Health is the central theme and from that centre, you will find radical ideas and unconventional wisdom. It is time to look at the facts and to make up your own mind on the evidence now available rather than the over-simplified sound bites of political propaganda or social media. We need to acknowledge that the vaccines are expedient but still experimental by traditional standards. Thomas Beverley quietly suggests some homeopathic remedies which can help minimise potential side effects. Independent research reveals that 88% of adults are metabolically unfit. Highly processed starchy food is a silent killer. This is the inconvenient truth about convenience foods. Over 2000 years ago the Ancient Greek physician and philosopher Hippocrates declared that “all disease begins in the gut.” This was in an age when illness was surrounded in superstition and frequently attributed to the wrath of the Gods. How far have our modern minds really moved from there? As Hippocrates himself put it:
“Life is short
Art long
Opportunity fleeting 
Judgement difficult .”
