How Your Immune System Works And Fails Leading To Autoimmune Disease, Leaky Gut, And Food Allergies
The human immune defense system consists of two main components, the innate and adaptive. The innate component is so named because it is a general defense system.

Micro Mist Hair Treatment
Has your hair been damaged by sun, hair colouring, straightening or perming? As you probably already know most hair treatments don’t solve this problem. Micro Mist hair is a treatment that uses the power of water to penetrate deep into the hair. It swells the hair and enhances any treatments that you have had.
The micro mist system comes to us from Japan and had been over a decade in the making. The treatment is locked into the hair. Convenient steamers boil water at 100 degrees to create steam. However the height of this temperature often causes more damage to the hair than it repairs. The micro mist system is different as it doesn’t steam water; it uses ultra sound to generate mist and warms it in accordance to your hair type; keeping the temperature far below 100 degrees.

Lap Banding - Is It Worth The Pain?
In December 1983 My friend Pam had an inner Gastric Banding procedure done by a Professor S from Macquarie St, Sydney.
The operation was performed at St Lukes of Kings Cross Sydney. Prior to this she had only met the Professor only once before the operation just to be weighed. He showed her the banding then booked her in.
After the operation she only saw him twice.
Pam was aware that you could only eat very small quantities of food but there was never any discussion about the ramifications of this and within 18 months had lost the weight but gained it all back and had severe reflux.
Pam started to realise that this procedure had more side effects than she could have imagined and was not warned about any of the bigger problems or the long-term side effects.
