A colleague just told me about a friend of his, who has two sets of twins - no mean feat! The thing that stuck out for me, though, were their names: Bernie and Dorothy, and Betty and Delilah. We figured they'd been named after family members, or Mum has a love for old-fashioned names.

The thing that stuck out for me, though, were their names: Bernie and Dorothy, and Betty and Delilah. We figured they'd been named after family members, or Mum has a love for old-fashioned names. But it got me to thinking - do you have an unusual name? Where did it come from? Has it been a blessing or a curse? My brother (Kylee) tried to buy my name off me when we were teenagers, but he's now settled into his moniker. Of course, it gets a little confusing sometimes, with his partner named Kylie...

Paper wasps can be easily identified by their long, drooping back legs and laid-back, slow style of flying.
Asian, Australian and European paper wasps have gradually made their homes around our houses and fences and over the past few years and while they are useful for some unwanted bugs like the great white cabbage butterfly, unfortunately they aren't picky and have been feasting on our monarch butterfly caterpillar and other useful native bugs as well.
At Wasp Wipeout we are working hard to help raise funds to wipe out the most invasive species of wasps - the vespula (common and German) variety which inhabit a lot of our bush areas and regularly invade picnics and barbecues. To help us fight this species you can donate here

He has over 1000 patients who have made remarkable recoveries, some of whom joined his programme 5 years ago. So this is a good news story, except the in Australia they are talking about $45,000 a patient. They are currently training over 1000 consultants to bring the protocol to many places. Several Australian's already trained.
However, for not much more than a few hours on the Internet you can learn a great deal about his programme, and with your own local doctor, or with your neurologist, if you are so lucky, you can work up a programme that YOU can do, or you can help your mum or dad to do.
MUCH of the Bredesen programme is simple ordinary stuff that we too often neglect because we think it doesn't matter much. To find out more follow the link. It does NOT involve any miracle new drug. It does involve quite a lot of testing for metabolic dysfunction, that any NZ doctor will know quite a bit about. Do your own work. LEARN.
