my email address is

I apologise but I am unable to answer questions about your personal medical problems on line as I  believe  good  medical practice  requires a proper history and clinical examination . I urge you to please seek advice from your local doctor.

I maintain this site myself - I do not have an assistant :) . As such I may not be able to get back to you personally,  however please be assured I do read the emails and take note of your suggestions.

I am happy to receive ideas for  Radio or TV topics ( especially panel topics for the Today Program) as well as questions for use in my magazine column. Also suggested links to good health support groups.

This email address goes to my computer at 3AW in Melbourne and I only access it once weekly .
