Self Heal By Design- The Role Of Micro-Organisms For Health By Barbara O'Neill

Product Information

In 2019, the Health Care Complaints Commission in New South Wales ruled that she is prohibited from providing any services or education. [1] [4] [5] An investigation found that she provided dangerous advice to vulnerable clients, telling those with cancer to cure their disease using bicarbonate of soda and to give infants unpasteurised goat milk. [6] The investigation found that she also did not have any qualifications in a health-related field, and failed to meet the expected standards of unregistered health professionals. [4] Activities O'Neill discouraged immunisation, claiming that all vaccines are harmful and the cause of a range of conditions. [3] [4] In one of her YouTube videos, she stated that "children can be naturally vaccinated against tetanus by drinking plenty of water, going to bed early, not eating junk food and running around the hills". [2] [3] The HCCC noted that O’Neill frequently told the commission that she did not give clients advice, but merely provided them with information. The HCCC said this information included telling pregnant women not to take antibiotics for streptococcus B infections because “no baby has ever died from Strep B catching out of birth”. However, statistics from the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists indicate early-onset Strep B has a fatality rate of 14% in neonates, a risk that can be reduced by 80% with antibiotics.

Her wide range of books ensure there is something for everyone, making her a valuable author to explore for those looking to enhance their life and overall health. Life and Career of Barbara O’Neill

Another intriguing addition to her collection is the book 80 Herbal Tea Recipes. In this publication, O’Neill shares her expertise on creating soothing and health-boosting herbal teas using natural ingredients. This book is perfect for those looking for non-alcoholic alternatives to enjoy in their daily lives. Some of her other notable books include “Fruit Water: 100 Vitamin Water Recipes”, which provides an assortment of healthy and delicious drink recipes; and “ Bon Appetit! Vegetarian Dishes 2“, which offers practical advice on personal finance management. The HCCC also found that O'Neill could not recognise and provide health advice within the limits of her training and experience, and had failed to maintain records of the health advice she provided as required by law. While O'Neill has claimed to have received diplomas in naturopathy, nutrition, and dietetics from two now defunct organisations, the HCCC found that she did not have any health-related qualifications. [6] [3] [4] O'Neill has recommended that parents who are unable to breastfeed their infant use substitutes besides formula. These have included unpasteurised goat milk and a mix of almond milk and dates or bananas. [4] [2] [3] Co-author of the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) infant feeding guidelines, Professor Jane Scott, has stated this advice is "definitely not safe," and that "there is a real danger here for infants as these will not support healthy growth and development". [10]A key facet in the success of O’Neill’s work is the confident, knowledgeable, and clear tone she maintains throughout her books. By using a neutral and informative approach, she provides readers with the opportunity to make informed decisions about their health. This tone establishes a sense of trust and credibility among her audience, contributing to the strong impact she has on her readers. a b Davey, Melissa; Murphy-Oates, Laura (1 November 2019).

While her niche mainly revolves around health-related writings, O’Neill also delves into other areas of interest, such as children’s topics and biorhythms. Her work in the children’s books genre emphasizes vital life lessons and creative storytelling to engage and educate young minds. Her clear and neutral tone of voice helps to make these stories accessible for a younger audience. Rest is an essential component of self-healing, as emphasized in O’Neill’s work. She advocates for providing the body with ample time and opportunities for relaxation and recovery. This, in turn, enhances the body’s natural healing processes and promotes overall well-being. The commission found that O’Neill is a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and usually delivered health lectures to congregants at church-organised events, and also lectured overseas and performed telephone consultations for a fee. The commission said she had no authority to provide advice in “highly complex and specialised areas such as cancer treatment, use of antibiotics for Strep B and immunisation”.

According to the HCCC investigation, O'Neill falsely claimed to be able to cure cancer and urged clients not to use chemotherapy. [3] [6]With a strong emphasis on natural remedies and lifestyle changes, O’Neill’s books offer guidance on how to maintain optimal health by harnessing the body’s own healing power. One key aspect she highlights is the importance of living in harmony with our body’s natural cycles. By understanding and respecting these cycles, we can truly maximize our body’s innate ability to heal itself.
