History of Movember Movember is a yearly charity event which was started in Australia by a group of friends to raise awareness and money for men’s mental and physical health. Beginning with only 30 people involved, Movember has expanded to over 128,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas in Australia alone, and…

Perhaps it’s because men eat more red meat than fish that they are usually deficient in omega-3 fish oil. Omega-3 is one of the good oil found in food. Not all fats and oils are bad and omega-3 is a proof of this. Omega-3 fish oil, unlike fats found in meat, is very beneficial to all. Men need omega-3 fish oil to prevent and to cure prostatitis. This disease causes an inflammation in the prostate glands making urination of men painful. With this evidence men should be encouraged to eat fish. Omega-3 found in fish will not only help combat…
Antiphospholipid syndrome (or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome) is a disorder of coagulation which causes thrombosis in both arteries and veins, as well as recurrent miscarriage. It is due to the autoimmune production of antibodies against cell membrane constituents. It is occasionally referred to as Hughes’ syndrome after the rheumatologist Dr Graham R.V. Hughes (St Thomas’ Hospital, London, UK). A very rare form is the catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, in which there is rapid organ dysfunction and arterial hypertension. It carries a high mortality. Signs and symptoms The presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (APLAs) is suggested by thrombosis (arterial or venous) and recurrent miscarriage…
Men, in short, reflect the full range of human potential. They are fully human in their vices, and in their virtues. As men, we all face one thing in common. Maintaining our dignity, as men, in the face of the straw man of masculinity. Let me explain. Men, we are told, are cruel, warmongering, insensitive, disrespectful towards women and children. Men cannot be trusted, are sex man, and finally, all men are rapists. This version of masculinity, of course, is a straw man. Yes some men, some of the time, can be like this. The assumption though, is that all…
A shocking new study published in the Lancet revealed that people with mental health problems are four times more likely to be a victim of violence than the general population. In the report which looked at 26 studies from developed nations, as many as a quarter of people with mental health problems have been attacked in the last year. What this research clearly demonstrates is that far from the mentally ill being a threat to society, it is society which is a threat to the mentally ill. Mentally ill people are ten times more likely to be a victim of…
As we move into winter living, with the cold weather and dark nights upon us, for many of us our energies start to flag, and we look forward to the Christmas and New Year festivities. For some men, though, the festive season brings new challenges. With its emphasis on food and drink, men with eating disorders can feel particularly challenged. To mark this difficult time, I will focus my posts in the run-up to the New Year on eating disorders in men. For many, “eating disorders” is synonymous with anorexia, but this is just one of several ways in which…
If you are like me, you will be pretty suspicious of anything that sounds a bit cranky. Primal scream therapy, rebirthing and neuro linguistic programming all fall into that camp for me. But what about meditation? Over the last decade what is interesting has been the way evidence-based therapies have taken meditation on board. It is as if no self-respecting new treatment approach can afford to ignore it. There is good reason for this; the evidence shows meditation is really helpful in conditions as diverse as borderline personality disorder to depression, and anxiety to chronic pain. What most of these…
Fiona Donnison was jailed for 32 years earlier this month for the murder of her two children. Harry, aged three, and Elise, aged two, were smothered in bedding and their bodies were found in holdalls in the boot of Donnison’s car. Why would a mother kill her own children? From Court it appears that it was a brutal act of revenge by Donnison against the children’s father, Paul Donnison her ex-partner. Murder, of course, is a cruel and heartless act. But there are many women who punished the father of their children with lesser acts of cruelty, such as needless…
