Thanks Glenn. I’m certain Godfrey was right. Wouldn’t it be great if provocative letters such as this could still be published without censorship and vilification?

With outbreaks of meningococcal B in many parts of the world I was reminded that in 2004, New Zealand GP Dr Mike Godfrey published a provocative letter in the New Zealand Medical Journal titled "Haemorrhagic meningococcal meningitis: is it scurvy?", NZMJ Vol. 117 No. 1200 on 20 August 2004.

Writing during New Zealand’s 1991-2007 meningococcal B epidemic, he proposed that the haemorrhagic symptoms of meningococcal disease might be a form of "acute scurvy" and argued that the rapid depletion of Vitamin C during a severe infection leads to a breakdown of blood vessel integrity, mirroring the clinical presentation of scurvy.

One mechanism for disease susceptibility might be vitamin C deficiency suggesting adequate levels on the diet may help ward off complications. He also suggested that the disease only becomes severe ("fulminating") when the liver is overwhelmed by toxins, which he believed Vitamin C could mitigate.

Godfrey argued that high-dose Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) could be an effective, safe, and cheap therapy for meningococcal disease. The letter is on page 121-122 at this link:https://nzmj.org.nz/media/pages/journal/vol-117-no-1200/01f3bb390e-1696470820/vol-117-no-1200.pdf

She was right.

You don’t need to go to Wellington. Visit us. Hyperbaric switches on repair genes and enhances healing in many situations - and you don’t need a high pressure to achieve this. The literature is clear.

1. Commercial Diving: Mastering the Pressure of the Deep When divers descend into the ocean, the pressure increases by 1 atmosphere every 10 metres. At 100 metres below the surface, the body is under 11 times the normal pressure experienced at sea level. Without hyperbaric understanding and infrastructure, this would lead to: Nitrogen narcosis (the “rapture of the deep” – causing disorientation and blackouts) Oxygen toxicity Decompression sickness (aka "the bends") — nitrogen bubbles forming in blood during ascent Hyperbaric science solved this. This technology made offshore oil rigs, underwater construction, and deep-sea cable laying possible — industries now worth billions. 2. Space Exploration: Training in Zero-Pressure and Emergency Readiness In space, it’s the opposite: extreme lack of pressure. But the knowledge gained from hyperbaric research on how the body behaves under changing pressures was critical for early astronauts and still is today. Hyperbarics influenced space in several key ways: Pre-breathing Protocols: Before spacewalks (EVAs), astronauts follow a procedure similar to divers — breathing pure oxygen to purge nitrogen and prevent decompression sickness. Spacesuit Design: Modern suits maintain micro-environments of pressure based on hyperbaric physiology principles, preventing ebullism (the boiling of bodily fluids in a vacuum). Medical Safety: If an astronaut experiences a pressure drop or embolism-like event, protocols developed from hyperbaric medicine guide treatment — often using recompression simulation on Earth. Training for Extremes: NASA and other agencies train astronauts in neutral buoyancy labs, often using pressurised environments to simulate the body’s reaction to changes in gas tension, pressure, and oxygen saturation. In both underwater and space environments, the common enemy is pressure imbalance — too much or too little. Hyperbaric science gave us the tools to regulate that precisely.

We are on the brink of biological and commercial disaster if this bill materialises.

We’re told to scrub our boots for biosecurity - but now the Government’s opening the gate to GMOs? Make it make sense. #SayNoToGMO #gmofree #nzpol

This is on my mind. The root causes we try to unpick for families here at Functional Again.

Perfectly put.

While former ministers escape accountability, medical regulators are actively punishing doctors who dared to speak out during the pandemic.

The Medical Council of New Zealand’s (MCNZ) website states: “Patients are entitled to information about their health and the care they are receiving.”

Yet MCNZ and Dental Council (DC) removed their requirement for their practitioners to uphold fully informed consent around covid vaccines. This contradicts their own fundamental principles.

We’ve been ordered to pay $100,000 for upholding medical ethics.

Medical ethics that included standing up against officials who falsely promised independent testing but later admitted New Zealand “lacked the ability” to test Pfizer products.

People in Gisborne are walking around with toxic levels of glyphosate in their blood. I can prove it. No amount is safe.

This is just mind boggling to me! With increasing research showing the negative effects of glyphosate on humans our food safety authority thinks now is the time to increase the levels. It does not makes sense and the moment our end consumers hear we are easing the levels the less likely they will want to buy from us. A healthy nation starts with the way in which our food is grown. This is one of the reasons why our generation will be the first to not outlive our parents generation.

And we see the effects all around us.

From the moment the brain starts growing in the womb to the moment of birth, and up to about age two, brain development is concentrated on the right side. This is a vulnerable period of time for the brain, as it is particularly susceptible to ... negative environmental influences.
