Wild foods have sustained the World’s longest living culture, the Indigenous Australians for over 65,000 years. Over the last few decades, research has revealed the amazing nutritional and medicinal qualities of wild foods and how adding them back into our diet can improve our health, how we feel, our appearance and even the rate at which we age. This podcast is all about how these foods and their protective, healing and immune-boosting components can change your life in the face of the falling nutritional quality of modern foods.

Friday Jul 02, 2021
This is the podcast intro and an invitation to subscribe to my channel. Join me for weekly episodes on the importance of wild and near wild foods for our ideal health.
I will cover topics in the news where I think wild foods should play a role (immunity is just one) and provide clues to our future survival, clues which have come from the science behind the resources of the World's longest living culture.
I hope you sign up and join me in my podcast.

A Deep Dive on the Holy Grail to (Metabolic) Health
Thursday Jan 23, 2025
Thursday Jan 23, 2025
I asked a couple of my AI friends to take a Deep Dive on the cherikoff.net website to see if they could help explain my concept of Metabolic Health. I think they did a really good job. Let me know if you agree.
I referred to articles I have written and while this one:

is specifically on the Metabolic Health bundle, this link following is a list of all of my articles:

Resurrection Sugar - The Rejuvenating Properties of Trehalose
Saturday Apr 05, 2025
Saturday Apr 05, 2025
A common name for trehalose is Resurrection sugar because a small desert plant which dried to crispness but stayed green the whole time, could be watered well and then start photosynthesizing within 24 to 48 hours. From an apparent 'death' it came back to life.
I once saw horse-shoe crabs in pot-holes of the rocks I passed on the track once when climbing Uluru (with permission from the Elders). It had rained the preceding night and the mud in the pot-holes would have been dry for many months before that rain. Those crabs, like the resurrection plant I mentioned above, contained trehalose which despite dessication, preserved the integrity of the proteins, fats, carbohydrates and the structures and components they formed.
The horse-shoe crustaceans could well be called Resurrection Crabs and the trehalose a remarkable sugar.
Listen to the podcast to discover more secrets of this fascinating sugar.
