The Borderland
33 years in the borderland between emergency medicine and naturopathic medicine
For more than thirty years I have worked in almost every part of the health service, from the ambulance and intensive care to home care and the nursing home – with my own clinic alongside. What I saw there, between the two medicines, is this book. It explains why so many people are treated without ever getting well, and what the body actually needs to heal itself.

Emergency medicine saves lives.
Chronic disease is something you must build your way out of.
The body as one system, not a collection of parts
The story of two medicines
The Rockefeller money, the Flexner Report of 1910 and the choice that decided what doctors would learn for a hundred years – and what they would forget.
The smouldering inflammation
The silent fire behind the heart, brain, joints and skin. Why a tablet never puts it out, and the road to resolution.
The gut at the centre
The microbiome, the gut barrier and the gut–brain axis. The forgotten organ that governs far more than digestion.
The mitochondria
The power plants in every cell. They decide how much energy you have left to repair yourself.
From the heart to the skin
Chapters on metabolic syndrome, sleep, stress, brain, heart, cancer, autoimmunity, mental health, skin, children and ageing – all seen through the same three pillars.
The Bedrock
Whole food, sleep in step with the circadian rhythm, daily movement, sunlight, grounding and breath. The Bedrock is yours.
Written for you if you
- have been given one more prescription without getting better
- want to understand why the body fails, not just what it is called
- are a therapist and need the whole system in one place
