‘I Miss Cheese’

Says Cillian Murphy: The Best Actor (according to the Academy Awards 2024) has adopted The Best Diet (Plant-based, according to many top nutritionists).

He’s chosen not to eat meat ‘for health and ethical reasons’ for many years now, but he does miss his cheese… Full article from Plant Based News, whose work we feature on our site, here.


SO much ‘kick-back’ from doctors and nutritionists following this ‘news’ story last week. Dr Valter Longo shares masses of medical research that says exactly the opposite to this in his work. The science is with him, not this, as yet unpublished, study. We have to be so careful with our sources of medical ‘advice.’


It’s that time of year: The Environmental Working Group‘s new guides to the most pesticide-laden and least sprayed crops. It hasn’t changed much; an easy guide is to buy organic whenever possible, when you can’t it’s the fruits/veggies with skins that are peeled off that are generally less toxic to our bodies.

So sad that this is even ‘a thing’…


Found a ‘mushroom shop’. This stall at Porto’s market sells only them. Who knew there are so many varieties? Powerhouses for our health.

Every year we sign up and watch this, every year. Many of the industry experts featured are also featured on our resource, with good reason, they’re the best. Sign up here – it really is free – and it’s excellent. 24 April – 1 May 2024.


We know first-hand how devastating hair loss is. We know how matter-of-fact the news that you will lose your hair can be delivered. We know what that feels like. This lady does too. It’s an emotional watch, which is becoming reality for more and more women as cancer rates rocket. Nicola Wood and the Wonderful Wig Company, we salute you.


Cancer diagnosis in the under 50’s hit the world spotlight last week. Thank you Angie for your endorsement of our work.


No-one could, or should, ignore the mental effects of a serious diagnosis. Here’s a beautiful half hour meditation from therapist Irena, from Focus Wellbeing, one of our contributors here at DZ.


Here’s Denise doing a spot of mental well-being at Café Bong, Toulouse, SW France. Supported by a delicious green tea with jasmin and lemon and matcha and raspberry cake. (The mocha latte is her daughter’s….) Bliss.

  1. So so touching to hear the TED talk re hair.
    I have known the power of giving friends a hair piece that they chose to wear sometimes after cancer treatment.
    I have seen the smile of a child seeing their wig for the first time when I was a volunteer at the Children’s hospital…
    A huge shout out to those who donate hair and those who make these wonderful creations.
    I have also had to validate my own cancer as I didn’t lose my hair with my chemo and immunotherapy.
    Hair and cancer. As said
    It’s not just hair.

    1. Thank you Alison. It’s a powerful video that was sent to us by a family member who knows Nicola. We completely agree and want to cheer this lady on, who’s taken something so painful, and made it into something so good. Bit like yourself really….
