    Hidden allergen fears spark urgent recall for Koko Black's popular star-shaped treats

    They are sold through a hamper company. I have no idea if they are sold in any stores. We got sent a hamper for Christmas with them in it. No issues as we don't have a milk allergy

    Drug resistance may make common infections like thrush untreatable

    Sad thing about all of this is the culprit is over use. We now tend to look for a drug or pill to fix it. When I was a kid there wasn't much around in the way of treatments. Most things can be kept at bay by hand washing. Using tea tree, lemon, eucalyptus and clove oils can keep most bugs out...

    Thousands of Aussies eligible for home upgrades for FREE!

    Only NSW. We get not much in Queensland. It's all garbage anyway. Just look at Alberta in Canada for how it looks when all this renewable energy falls. And it fails in the heat as well

    BEWARE: Study reveals a hidden danger in Aussie homes and sparks outcry for a nationwide ban

    Yes certainly worth thinking about. I think there is more to the asthma issue than just wood fires, burn offs and pollen. I had asthma and ended up with two bouts of bronchial asthma a couple of years ago. Other than that I've been fine and changed the way I eat. Find if get stuffed up if I eat...

    BEWARE: Study reveals a hidden danger in Aussie homes and sparks outcry for a nationwide ban

    Perhaps in this case it might be an idea to go to council. This is interfering with your enjoyment and life. There is a rule in most councils about this. It applies to noise but it should apply across the board. I know what you mean. We lived near an airforce base for years. Get 3 days of rain...

    Thinking of trying a detox? Here’s what you need to know first

    Lesson one. If you stop filling your body with sugar and crap it has a chance to heal. Most of the issues we have today with health are related to what we eat. Stop eating what causes it and even if it doesn't cure it won't get worse.

    BEWARE: Study reveals a hidden danger in Aussie homes and sparks outcry for a nationwide ban

    Oh for goodness sake. First Victoria wants to ban gas stoves now some wanker wants to ban wood heaters. Wood heaters have been around you years and also open fire places. Not sure who funded the study or where the figures came from but this sounds like another con job to make sure people spend...

    Exposed: How Coles' 'cheapskate' tactics on meat could affect your grocery bill!

    I always check the per kg price and the weight. Also check the per litre price for drinks. Most of the made up stuff I have found has added sugar, starches and other stuff I don't want to eat, so I pretty much make my own. I do buy the best mince

    Thinking of trying a detox? Here’s what you need to know first

    Sorry it has now been proven that fibre is not good. It actually aggravates the bowel lining. Berries are okay in season but just eat small amounts and see how you go. Put some thickened cream with them. Keep reducing the carbs as much as you can. You don't need them

    Thinking of trying a detox? Here’s what you need to know first

    Have you thought about going very low carb or carnivore. Plants have toxins that our bodies can't process. Oxalates and lectins are the worst. I we eat grains and seed oils we create inflammation in our bodies. Cutting it all out can heal. I know of some doctors who have had illnesses and life...

    Thinking of trying a detox? Here’s what you need to know first

    I do mostly lamb. I also do chicken wings in the air fryer. I buy steak when I can afford it. Fruit is only berries that I grow myself. I drink coffee with cream in it. I sometimes make my own yogurt. Pretty much don't do veg. Sometimes fry cabbage in butter with garlic and bacon. Good side dish...

    Thinking of trying a detox? Here’s what you need to know first

    I have never quite understood detoxing. That is why we have a liver and kidneys, they do the detoxing. For me detoxing is not eating junk foods, grains and seed oils

    ‘I’m not going to be cured’. How breast cancer awareness and support sidelines people with metastatic disease

    I really find this very sad. Many sufferers have it 3 or 4 times then get the bad news it's terminal. Personally I think we should be a lot more flexible with treatments. Some of the treatments seem to be worse than the condition itself. Lately there has been a lot of research done regarding...
