Bites and StingsInsects are everywhere! They can bite at any time of the day but bites are more likely to occur in the evening so lots of repellant is needed after sunset. DiarrhoeaDiarrhoea is a symptom of many different illnesses. Colds![]() Even in the 21st Century there is no magic cure for colds. Antibiotics do not work on viruses.

Osteoporosis and diet![]() Bone is a complicated structure consisting of minerals, vitamins and protein. The main mineral is calcium. There is over 1Kg of calcium present in the body, but 99% of this is found in the bones.
