Hello there and welcome to the my blog. (Thanks Pete!) Im a retired GP with a lifelong interest in preventing as well as treating illness and now have the added perspective of living with Multiple Sclerosis. I grow food, and try to make sense of the modern world and what is in store for us and those after us. These are my views, reflections and thoughts and not medical advice, for that you will, as always, have to see your own doctor.
