If you read
books or websites or seek advice from the proprietor of a health food shop,
you’re dealing with people driven by commercial imperatives, proselytising
zeal, or both. And you can’t ask a doctor, at least not an NHS doctor, because
they’re forbidden to discuss anything other than officially approved
medications. So one group of people is talking natural remedies up as much as possible
because they’re trying to sell you something, while the other is hidebound by
the rules and sworn to silence.
So what do I do about it? I decided tonight to rely on the
fact that I’m partial to spinach and mayo sandwiches, and that if I eat enough
of them I should live forever. If I’m wrong, then no doubt natural justice will
have been served and there’s probably somebody in the other place who will tell
me the truth ready for next time. I just had one.
