🤯" A MAJOR MISCONCEPTION is that the vaccines are holding steady to protect against severe disease, hospitalizations and deaths"![]()
🤯”The concept of a pan-β-coronavirus or pan-sarbecovirus vaccine is alluring and has been pursued by academic labs throughout the world over the past two years.

newsGP - Pathology requests under the microscope
bit.ly
More than 5000 GPs are about to receive a letter from the Department of Health about their pathology requests.Comment on Facebook
This is so wrong! Not testing some of these at times could go the other way and almost be negligent. Hope you’re not having a compliance check done.
Absolutely shameful.....we cannot afford to lose our good GPs because they are being put under such pressure :-(
This is terrible. I wouldn't be getting better if my Dr wasn't testing those things. No wonder she writes thyroid on private pathology request. I agree, the aim is to dismantle the Medicare bit by bit.
How ridiculous, are drs supposed to be able to diagnose you with telepathy?
This is not surprising but so terribly disappointing 😔
Wow, this is nutbaggery at its finest!
That is just ridiculous 🤦♀️
Unbelievable

💗CHEAT DAY. Most of you know that I allow 1 less than healthy meal (generally always gluten free and dairy free )per week .
💗So I am posting to let you know that I am not “perfect”. Look at that Malliard reaction (browning) , potato 🥔 chips 🍟 are my absolute favourite 😍 but I only allow myself to have them ONCE a MONTH. They are inflammatory, raise the risk of heart attacks, kidney disease and unhealthy AGING .
💗Today was also the first time I ate in a crowded restaurant indoors (so let’s see what happens virus 🦠
💗shout out to @secondhomeeltham what provided delicious meals, gracious, efficient service & excellent coffee ☕️ (check out that latte art)
💗After all the madness, I really felt the need to be near trees 🌲 🌲 , hence the trip to #Eltham .
Added bonus was checking out @benhutchinsonlandscapes1 sustainable garden & pond

Mold in the home is a major cause of illness and is not often identified because of the difficulties surrounding mold testing.![]()
Here are some simple steps you can take that can help you find out if you have a mold problem in your home:![]()
👉 Look for discoloration of grout lines in between tiles in the bathroom. Bathrooms are wet and humid, two conditions promoting mold growth. So it is not uncommon to see green, brown, black or even pink mold growing on the grout. ![]()
👉 Look under sinks, where there could have been a leaky pipe. Water that drips from leaky pipes can collect on the inside of wood cabinetry and cause mold to grow. Typically you will see a blackening of the wood. ![]()
👉 Look in the basement, especially if there has been even the slightest amount of water damage. Basements are notorious for flooding but even without a major event like that, basements are damp and are a breeding ground for mold growth. ![]()
👉 Look at the ceilings for signs of water damage. ![]()
👉 Look at your heating and air conditioning system. When was the last time you had your HVAC system cleaned? When was the last time the filters were changed? Mold grows easing in HVAC systems because of the moisture within them. It is best to have a professional take a look inside at the coils and the duct system, where mold is most often found. ![]()
👉 Examine any household plants for signs of mold on leaves and on the soil. Generally, it usually looks white. ![]()
👉 Use your sense of smell. Mold can have a musty smell at times but some molds do not have any scent.![]()
Remember: Prevention is key to controlling the mold epidemic.

Hard to prevent it with all of the rain we have had in Sydney 😬 Mould has gone wild!
Thanks for this post Min. The 2 dehumidifiers we bought on your recommendation have helped a lot. No mould or musty smells in the house. Even with all the rain we’ve had in Sydney lately.
So important and often mould is hidden behind walls or under flooring.
A great read![]()
