Hemp is a multi-purpose crop, delivering fibres, shivs, seeds and pharmaceuticals. The fibre is used for light weight papers, insulation material and biocomposites. The shivs, the woody inner core of the stem, are used for animal bedding and construction. Hemp seeds, small nuts with a high nutritional value, can be consumed raw or pressed into hemp seed oil, which has an excellent and unique fatty acid profile. Both seeds and oil are used for human food and animal feed. The non-psychotropic Cannabinoid CBD is an interesting pharmaceutical and food supplement also derived from industrial hemp. Let’s look at Hemp Seeds for Nutrition Hemp seeds also known as ’hemp hearts’ pack a nutritional punch. They are rich in healthy fats,...
Catastrophic floods hit many parts of the East coast of Queensland and NSW causing destruction and tragically death across many small towns. But after the floods come the clean ups, the throw aways. With hundreds of families who have lost literally everything they own many are desperately trying to salvage household items. And with damp household items comes the risk of mould. What are the steps to preserving your home after floods? Drying Heating. Heat the air to 27 degrees.

LHCS (also termed Post Acute Sequele of COVID-19, or PASC) is becoming more prevalent as the pandemic continues. LHCS is an often debilitating syndrome characterized by a multitude of symptoms such as prolonged malaise, headaches, generalized fatigue, sleep difficulties, smell disorder, decreased appetite, painful joints, dyspnea, chest pain and cognitive dysfunction. The incidence of symptoms after COVID-19 varies from as low as 10% to as high as 80%. LHCS is not only seen after the COVID-19 infection but it is being observed in some people that have received vaccines (likely due to monocyte activation by the spike protein from the vaccine). A puzzling feature of the LHCS syndrome is that it is not predicted by initial disease severity. Post-COVID-19 frequently...
Higher Coffee Consumption is associated with slower Cognitive Decline A long-term Australian study has revealed that drinking higher amounts of coffee may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive impairment of learning, memory and other cognitive deficits. Some distinctive neuropathologic features include plaque formation, amyloid deposition, neurofibrillary tangles and granulovascular degeneration. As part of the Australian Imaging, Biomarkers and Lifestyle Study of aging, researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) investigated whether coffee intake affected the rate of cognitive decline of more than 200 Australians over a decade. Lead investigator Dr. Samantha Gardener said results showed an association between coffee and several important markers related to Alzheimer's disease. "We found participants with...
