Health Triangle Magazine - April 2024

In this issue

Of the earth, earthy! This is a particularly down-to-earth edition of Health Triangle magazine.
As always, there is universal concern for planet Earth itself - including Awakening to Earth’s Call, Mother Earth Day and Global Youth Service Day.
However, closer to home there are also features on more immediate opportunities - and threats. Like clearing your clutter, physically as well as mentally, how to deal with stress better, how to sleep better, how to cook and eat better - and how to make the most of your garden, in particular how to grow your own healthy vegetables.

Even Poetry Corner has an earthy poem by Sylvia Plath entitled ‘Sheep in Fog’ - a title that could conceivably be applied to the general public recently in relation to the cancer diagnoses of King Charles and the Princess of Wales.
In Robin Daly’s regular feature ‘Yes to Life’, Beverley de Valois, the author of a new book on Acupuncture and Cancer Survivorship, provides evidence of the contribution the ancient Chinese art of acupuncture can make to the quality of life of cancer survivors - whether they are paupers or princesses, cancer does not discriminate.

Jane Hutchinson, co-founder of Hello Love, tells how in her personal breast cancer case the surgeon was originally planning to operate on the wrong breast! It is always worth watching out for human error.

13 year old Martha Mills was not so lucky. Despite the concerns expressed by her parents, the doctors responsible for her care failed to recognise the sepsis that eventually killed her.
Martha’s tragic story is at the core of ‘Breaking News’ and the arrival of ‘Martha’s Rule’.
Know your rights! Take responsibility for your own health. Ask questions.
Your life could depend on it - or the life of a loved one.
