Autumn Newsletter 2012

I was arrested, with 15 others in November, trying to save the beautiful avenue of arched fig trees in the middle of Newcastle. We failed on this one. There won’t be healthy people without a healthy planet. Please get involved for the environment with a group of your choosing. The children are going to be asking us why we didn’t act while there was still time.

Don’t forget you can buy my latest book ‘Darwin’s Dilemma: the damage done and the battle for the forests’, directly from me for $24.95 (plus $4 postage). It is a philosophical novel based on fact.
Incredible seminar last week on ‘The Neurobiology of Stress and Mood Disorders’. This seminar showed how much we can do with herbs, vitamins and minerals to relieve stress, and to treat underlying causes of mood disorders and stress-related conditions. It is most beneficial to treat even severe illnesses such as the depressions and psychoses for the underlying physical causes, more and more of which are becoming apparent.

Of course medical drugs need to be kept up in severe conditions.
Nutrition is looking more and more critical in mood disorders. Our neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain) and also the enzymes critical to both brain and body function, including immunity, are all dependant on the amino acids that have to supplied daily by correct protein intake and on the co-factors which only come to us through properly grown organic food, and/or through the highest quality, most potent supplements.

It is worth looking at the levels of inflammation in the body, and the levels of oxidative stress, as they can affect our blood brain barrier. And testing the permeability of the bowel wall because getting that, and liver function, right has effects on the whole body and mind. And it is worth having hair mineral analysis tests to make sure we are not carrying a load of heavy metals. And of course learning better ways to cope with emotional stress.

I am in Tonik, 8 Beaumont St, Hamilton, on Mondays by appointment mob 0407 612 115 (texts are best in case I am consulting or writing), other days I consult in Tighes Hill ph 4961 2115 (please leave a message on the answer machine).

My book Darwin’s Dilemma: the damage done and the battle for the forests was launched by Dr John Kaye, Greens’ MLC at Gleebooks on the 10th July. Spectrum in the Sydney Morning Herald was kind enough to refer to me as an ‘eco-writer’ re the launch.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Best wishes from Paula

Darwin's Dilemma: the damage done and the battle for the forests by Paula Morrow.

This novel is based on two true stories.

A fictional group investigate the truth behind a quote of Charles Darwin's. Has the West emphasised one idea of Darwin's, ignoring his other equally important idea? To the detriment of the planet?

Also we have true eye-witness accounts of the young people who sleep on platforms high up in the trees, battling to save the last of Tasmania's old-growth forests from destruction.

Bushwalking, protest, philosophy and love: set in Tasmania, Newcastle, Mullumbimby and Byron Bay.

Senator Bob Brown, leader of the Australian Greens said 'I have the utmost admiration for these young people, who can live in the trees, live on nothing, in their efforts to save the forests'.

Peter Corris, Australia's well-loved crime writer said of a previous novel by Paula Morrow, Life in Time that 'it kept me turning the pages until the end'.
