🔥Reclaiming Health: Reversal, Remission & Rewiring - @PSGRNZ's massive paper, has just been published.
Please share to help get the word out! Thank you for the amazing support from international professors & doctors, whose expertise traverses metabolic science, pediatric health & brain nutrition.
@RobertLustigMD : 'PSGRNZ have made clear the reasons for the worldwide pandemic of metabolic syndrome'
Dr Glen Davies: 'an essential step in changing the understanding of the main causes of disease.'
@lowcarbGP : 'my practice responds best to controlling the intake of both ultra processed foods and refined carbohydrates.'
@BenBikmanPhD : 'What PSGRNZ articulates here aligns with what researchers increasingly recognize: chronic disease is fundamentally a metabolic problem, and dietary carbohydrate burden is a primary lever.'
@drjenunwin : 'This document summarises the key science and clinical findings relating to the harms of excessive consumption of sugar, refined carbohydrates and ultra-processed foods.'
@leotrasande : 'I hope this report sparks needed conversation – and action.’
@JuliaRucklidge : ‘This report offers a clear, evidence-based framework for addressing diet-related chronic disease, an issue with significant health and economic impacts. Reclaiming Health defines how our current food environment contributes to illness and how existing policies can make progress challenging.'
@grantsnz : 'This report is an important moment for New Zealand public health. For too long, the 'voice of nutrition' has been whispered when it should have been shouted. And then the whispers have focused on old, dated hypotheses and science that was flawed. The PSGRNZ rightly identifies that the bulk of our poor health, in both chronic disease and poor mental health is metabolic. It offers a clear blueprint for progress in addressing this. It offers a chance to reverse many chronic diseases and prevent them happening in the first place. These are goals long whispered in NZ and global health, but now we have the blueprint to get on with this important work.’
@ProfTimNoakes : 'unquestionably the most carefully constructed and complete document ever compiled on this topic anywhere in the world.'
@fleroy1974 : 'To address the crisis in cardiometabolic health, I fully support PSGRNZ's call for a more adaptable approach to dietary guidance,'...
Dr Simon Thornley: 'I hope this document is a catalyst for the change in health policy'...
Professor William S Yancy: 'PSGRNZ highlights both the long extant and the emerging evidence'...

Last week theEducation and Workforce Committee released its inquiry into the harm young New Zealanders encounter online.
No surprise - the conversation has quickly turned to bans, state-oversight, and new rules for social media companies.
The report makes significant policy recommendations despite acknowledging itDID NOTconduct the necessary analysis to reach well informed conclusions.
Recommendations include:
- A national online regulator like the EU and the UK!
- State regulated algorithms
- Potentialban on VPN use
- And of course, a social media ban
Taken together, New Zealand could be looking at the end of the open internet in New Zealand.
By the way again, the committee itself admits it did not analyse the costs and benefits of some of its proposals, yet they still promote the policies!
The obvious question is: on what merit should such broad and blunt policies be adopted?! When a ban is your only tool, everything begins to look like something that should be banned.
The committee, whose job was to inquire and seek advice, declined an offer from YouTube to provide evidence based on its experience in Australia! The committee also rejected the opportunity to seek advice from the Department of Internal Affairs. The inquiry failed to INQUIRE!
Had the committee already made up its mind?! It certainly looks like it…
Supporters of Australia’s social media ban have been reluctant to call it a success. The politicians responsible for it, when pressed, fall back on anecdotes about “little Sally from down the road” who thanked them at the milk bar - stories that make for good press releases but poor policy evaluation.
Today the system verifies age. Tomorrow it could verify anything. Time limits on usage. The political content you consume. Geo-blocks during emergencies, to keep communication lines clear. Or imagine attending a protest that authorities have not approved. Communication between attendees could suddenly become restricted to prevent further “unlawful gatherings”.
All guided by the state and of course all in your best interests, because who can argue with “public safety”!?
Once identity checks and regulators sit between citizens and the digital public square, freedom of expression online becomes a thing of the past. We’ve seen it happen in the UK and Europe.
As comedian Jimmy Carr remarked, thanks to AI the cost of running a full authoritarian state has fallen dramatically. New Zealand is not immune to this regulatory instinct, Friend.
As always, none of this is to deny that the online world can harm young people. It can. Children, such as my own, deserve protection. Their innocence and mental health matter to me and that’s why I am taking responsibility for them as a parent. But vague definitions of harm combined with growing state control over how we access the internet should give us major pause.
In a climate where freedom is increasingly seen as dangerous, speech as hateful, and ideas as harmful, it is no surprise that this is where we have arrived.
But we don't have to resign ourselves to this.We can protect children online without sacrificing freedom and privacy.
We just have to be willing to do the hard work.
@bobmccoskrienz The Government’s Digital ID infrastructure is well advanced, including cross border plans for an ‘ANZAC ID’ and a globally interoperable digital passport.

Mainstream media’s influence took a serious hit during COVID and it never truly recovered, no matter how many confident posts appear on LinkedIn claiming otherwise.

AN INVITATION TO YOU PADDY GOWER - FIND YOUR COURAGE AND DO YOUR JOB...
NZ Journalist Paddy Gower, the post below is for you
I have just finished watching your interview from today
https://t.co/BKEfPdkior
I'll start by saying I'm not one of the "haters" you refer to. That's not my style. I am however someone who has lived and breathed the reality of the NZ Covid vaccine response (and MANDATES) full time, for five very, very long years.
I started a Facebook page called The Health Forum NZ in April 2021. I had previously been a freelance health journalist, columnist and book author for 35 years (along with operating my sole practitioner holistic women's health clinic, as a naturopath and acupuncturist).
I thought it would be a quiet little place for me to post the missing information that New Zealanders were not being given in their extraordinarily rudimentary "Informed Consent" process for the Pfizer mRNA.
Instead my group grew into 58,000 New Zealanders, over a 9 month period....before we were de-platformed by Facebook for speaking about mRNA injuries.
Our 58,000 members were made up of thousands of mRNA injured New Zealanders....and thousands more impacted by Covid 19 employment mandates.
To say we were a DEEPLY TRAUMATISED community would be the understatement of my lifetime.
I hold more than 15,000 emails from New Zealanders mRNA injured, bereaved or who lost EVERYTHING through Covid vaccine mandates and the inability to receive a legitimate medical exemption.
You commented that you are still hated to this day for the part you played in driving vaccination...some would call it Government sponsored propaganda.
You commented that New Zealand is no longer the same after the Covid response....that there is "an edge" to society. I wholeheartedly agree.
The Social Cohesion lays in pieces, swept under a very dusty rotting carpet.
I now have a community of almost 110,000 people from all around the world (on FB and X).
Not a single one of them has any trust left in:
Media and mainstream journalists
Government
Vaccination
Doctors
Ministry of Health
The mRNA injured and bereaved feel completely BETRAYED by your profession. As their full time Advocate I have exhausted myself attempting to bring their reality of ongoing pain and suffering, to the New Zealand public....through legacy media.
Not a single platform. Not one single platform of legacy media in New Zealand has told their stories. They remain hidden. Gaslighted. Abused by friends, family, media, doctors, MPs and hospitals. Told them are making it up. Told they are anxious and not vaccine injured.
68,000 New Zealand adverse event reports were filed with Medsafe (over 35,000 of them lodged by doctors)....and within those reports over 240,000 individual medical events.
Up to November 2023 Medsafe received reports of 20,500 medical events deemed serious (NZ OIA Ref: H2023033888) Medsafe acknowledges a likely 5% of ACTUAL adverse events are ever reported to them - it is a voluntary reporting system.
204 families reported the death of a loved one following Pfizer mRNA, to Medsafe. 7 of those deaths have been confirmed caused by the product....but many of the reported deaths never even had a post mortem! Elderly in rest homes who were just buried, and oh well, they were going to die anyway.
I could write a book Paddy about the world of pain that you have not made it your business, as a journalist, to investigate and report in a balanced unprejudiced and courageous way.
It's not too late to tap into your empathy, and reach out to me for an interview. I have enough government, Pfizer, Medsafe, CDC, documents evidencing harm, to keep you reading for the next five years.
Be the one Paddy, who tells the other side of the story.
We gave up waiting for you (and your journalist friends), and with no funding, are collaborating with a professional team of documentary producers, on our new weekly docuseries @TheTributeNZ
We WILL tell the stories of the New Zealanders doctor/specialist CONFIRMED vaccine injured.
We invite you to step into our world, with empathy, professionalism....and humility.
A Mea Culpa through actions.

I sincerely hope I hear from you.

Below see attached my public testimony to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Covid-19 Lessons Learned
WHY DID THE NZ MEDIA PUSH COVID VAX AND MANDATES SO HARD?
Yesterday a long time, relatively high profile NZ journalist, Paddy Gower, kind of, sort of, proffered an apology for using his platform to drive vaccination....hard.
For three years, under the Jacinda Ardern Labour government, tax payer funds were quite literally used to prop up the media.
It was called the "Public Interest Journalism Fund" (not always in the public interest), and it doled out upwards of $55 million to keep NZ media alive during the Covid downturn.
It also kept media fully compliant, and "aligned" with Government directives in the Covid era.
Nobody talks about the OTHER way Governmental money kept our media complicit and compliant
ADVERTISING
In particular Government Advance Advertising Purchases.
Quote:
"This initiative will use The government’s role as a purchaser of advertising to provide immediate cash-flow support for the media sector. The initiative will involve the government making advance purchases of advertising inventory for the 2020/21 year and increasing the overall level of government advertising expenditure.
A secondary but significant driver is the greater need for government to convey information to the New Zealand public. This includes
INFORMATION TO PROMOTE COMPLIANCE
with restrictions during the response phase and information to assist people and businesses to recover from the impacts of the pandemic." (end quote)
Is it possible that receiving millions of dollars of advance advertising purchases...with the addition of millions of dollars of EXTRA advertising revenue from Government
COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SILENCED AND BOUGHT OFF MEDIA DOING THE BIDDING OF THE GOVERNMENT?
