Tim and Gary have been liaising for some years now and emailing each other in the last few days. Gary has so much respect for his spirit, character and leadership.

It was a great honour for Gary to introduce Tim for his plenary speech in Cape Town in 2015 for the first world summit on LCHF.

Tim had asked him to come over to talk about nutrition, inflammation and the role that Low Carb Healthy Fat nutrition can have as an adjunct in cancer management.

Marika Sboros has been reporting live all day from the trial and just Tweeted – “A hugely emotional reaction from BOTH sides to Innocent verdict. Even doctor who dissented broke down in tears!”

We will be celebrating with Tim and Marilyn from afar this weekend and with him in August when both Tim and Gary are speaking in Wisconsin.

A huge relief for us to have this news today. As Gary would say to Tim – “Lekker” (Afrikaan’s for superb)

After a 2 1/2 year investigation by the Australian Health Practitioners Regulatory Agency, and a ruling that is supposed to ‘silence’ him from providing best practice to his patients, something he finds untenable.

Gary presented a powerful summary of his experiences with the AHPRA process at the Health Professionals Australia Reform Association – HPARA in Melbourne earlier this month.

This is one of 24 presentations on the day. Some of these were healthcare practitioners who stood bravely before the audience and shared their alleged experiences at the hands of AHPRA because of vexatious notifications and a flawed process.

AHPRA appears to have forgotten that their purpose to ‘Protect the Public’ includes healthcare professionals too.

The strong take-away message from the day was the need for a fair and tranparent process. The need to provide ‘care’ for healthcare professionals under investigation with mediation in a constructive and supportive environment. At present, the AHPRA process is intimadatory from the outset and people are guilty till they prove their innocence. How can anyone do that when they are refused access to the information being supplied against them and the trial is conducted behind closed doors?
