GOOD NEWS - there are three great new titles now available on Amazon in paperback and kindle format so I am pleased to introduce you to:

THE LIPOEDEMA DIET

THE PSORIASIS DIET

THE ANTI VIRUS DIET

The lipoedema diet was chosen as subject matter for this book when a fellow holidaymaker drew my attention to the plight of individuals with this disease. Although there is some overlap with lymphoedema there are clearly other metabolic processes going on. One nutritional substance prevents lipolysisand may account for why those with lipoedema fail to use fat stores even after rigorous dieting. Nevertheless, there are a number of processes going on in this condition and even changing the outcome of one or two of them could alter the course of the relatively new disease.

IN contrast, psoriasis is an ancient disease. There are certainly descriptions of Egyptian mummies having psoriasis. The treatments for psoriasis are not satisfactory in many resoects but a bespoke diet can address the underlying processes involved in the manifestation of this condition. As usual the recommended diet is not difficult to follow at all and it does work.

THE ANTI VIRUS DIET - written in response to the unfolding happenings with the Coronavirus COVID-19 but this book looks a little further than that and examines other viruses and how there are nutritional substances that can respond to a viral infection preventing many of the stages that occur when a virus takes hold, from happening. This is one of those books that you need to keep in the medicine cabinet.

SUNDAY DINNER AT EXODUS

Recently, Michael and I were invited to Sunday dinner at the Exodus Project in Jenny’s Field, Barnsley. This is a regular event which takes place when the youngsters have been involved in a camping activity at the Exodus Project’s premises.

Sunday dinners are something I value and miss. They tended to be the highlight of the week when I was a child; a time when family members gathered and endorsed the concept of family ties. They were times when much loved wider members of my family joined us. As such they hold special memories for me. However, our family is now scattered and depleted. I do not now cook Sunday dinner for what would be just the two of us but, we still miss them. Therefore, Michael and I had no hesitation in accepting Martin’s kind invitation to join them.

We arrived with only a few minutes to spare but time enough to chat to some of those involved in the project. Even before that happened it was clear that the building, buzzing with enthusiastic youngsters, was just like one big happy family. With such a large number of young people it would not be unusual to find some disagreement among them. However, the atmosphere was vibrant with good humour and excitement. It was clear that the Exodus Project was an important part of the children’s lives and development.

Michael and I sat at a table with a number of children and volunteers. The volunteer at the head of the table served each guest in turn. The youngsters were animated and happy to talk about their involvement with the Exodus Project and what it meant to them. And …….. it was clear that the Project did mean a great deal to them. Each youngster in turn told me how they had become involved with Exodus and what activities they particularly enjoyed. It was also good to be able to explore a little of their hopes for the future. Clearly, the Exodus Project has helped the children develop confidence and is instrumental in helping them to fulfil their potential.

The range of activities on offer is wide ranging from arts and crafts to cycling, Tree Top challenges and camping. In fact, all the sorts of activities that I would have liked to have been involved in when I was a teenager. I could see how the Exodus Project provides a haven and opportunities for children who live in communities disadvantaged by the closure of the mines in that area.

Michael and I agreed that Sunday dinner was probably the best that we had ever tasted. We even had two helpings of dessert. At the end of the meal the children helped clean and tidy the area. If I was expecting any moaning and groaning at this point, I would have been disappointed. All the youngsters, with good grace, fulfilled their tasks with just as much enthusiasm as they’d had before Sunday dinner started. Sometimes, it is these observations that are more telling about the success of a project than the official leaflets citing the aims and objectives of a charity.

However, Michael and I are consistently impressed with the leadership of the Exodus Project. They have clear vision of how they wish the Project to develop in order to maximise the benefits for the young participants. In addition, they work tirelessly in order to reach these goals. It is a rare privilege to be able to positively impact the lives of so many young people which will have a knock on effect for many generations to come. It is a responsibility that isn’t taken lightly by Martin, Jackie and the volunteers. Time alone will show the extent of the influence that such steadfast leadership will have on all those who are blessed to have become a part of the Exodus Project. Such commitment can only ever bear fruit.

A cheque for £388.44 has now been given to the Exodus Project to help continue the sterling work that they are doing. Thank you to everyone who has purchased books to help make this possible.

I am delighted to announce our involvement for the coming year with THE EXODUS PROJECT. Michael and I are looking forward to using our skills in any way that will help further the development of this charity. A Percentage of the royalties from book sales for October will be allocated to THE EXODUS PROJECT.

The Exodus Project

My first introduction to the far reaching impact of The Exodus Project occurred when I was travelling around Cawthorne in one of their buses, visiting gardens. A young lad was happily munching on a sandwich. He looked up briefly, pointed to the driver and said,’ He’s my second dad, he is,’ then he returned to his sandwich without further comment

Such remarks are often very telling and so I arranged to meet Jackie Peel and Martin Sawdon, at the charity’s premises in Barnsley. They set up the Exodus Project 20 years ago. They moved into their current premises – a redundant Methodist church - in 2010.

Both Jackie and Martin have been youth workers in their church. Martin worked in housing for the homeless in addition to working in learning disabilities services in institutional settings.

The work that the Exodus Project undertakes is of paramount importance to the communities it serves. These were former mining communities which became disadvantaged after pit-closures. Currently about 400 children attend mid-week activities from Monday to Thursday inclusive. These activities include dance, drama, craft, music, sports and games. In addition, there are weekend camps, cycle treks, outward bound activities, bowling and swimming. The children are taught valuable life skills including how to cook and bake. It is all about teaching children how to fulfil their potential and learn skills they will be able to pass onto the next generation.

The grounds, once overgrown, have been turned into a play- and camping - ground. A miniature railway is in the process of being installed.

Martin and Jackie have developed a unique model in that The Exodus Project goes beyond dispensing services. They are keen to build up relationships with the whole family and not just the child that attends the mid- week clubs. In addition, once children have reached the age of fourteen, they are invited to help out with the younger groups as junior volunteers. Once they reach the age of eighteen, they become adult volunteers. This model provides a constant supply of help from individuals who have benefitted already from attending such groups.

The building is large and inviting. It is decorated with bold colours and has comfy seating. It is a real home from home; a haven for families who have been disadvantaged by the closure of the life force of its community.

Martin and Jackie have clear ideas about how they wish to develop the Exodus Project but the lottery funding which they benefitted from is no longer available. Sadly, they have had to close two of their clubs due to lack of funding. This decision wasn’t taken lightly. They do have two charity shops which raises some money and they obtain some funding from outside organisations for the use of their facilities. However, this is clearly not enough to keep their clubs, weekend activities and building going to cater for the ever growing number of children who are benefitting from the work being undertaken here. Neither does it allow for future development.

Exodus do have a Just Giving page which can be found here if you wish to help further their work https://www.justgiving.com/exodus

In addition, you can keep up with activities on their Facebook page here

https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=the%20exodus%20project%20barnsley&epa=SEARCH_BOX

If anyone wishes undertake an event like The Three Peaks - or run a marathon to raise funds for Exodus - then Martin or Jackie would be pleased to hear from you. This will enable their vital work in the community to continue. Contact them through their website to be found on www.exodusproject.org.uk.

It is always good to come across community projects and so today I would like to mention the Stony Lane Lunch Club in Honley which meets on Thursday at 12.30pm. This consists of some lovely people mainly over 65 years old ( but sometimes grandchildren pop along and join us) who meet together for a fantastic lunch and chat. Trish is the cook and provides some fantastic home baking. If you don'tlike what is on the menu and you let her know in advance then she will be happy to provide something that you do like. On the 5th September, the menu is Chunky steak pie with chips and veg followed by fruit cheesecake and cream and coffee or tea. The cost is just £5 and provides excellent value for money. Trish is helped by a small group of cheerful helpers.

Space can always be found for new guests so if you want to pop along then Trish's number is

07880948663

There is also opportunity to go on some interesting day trips at very reasonable prices.

It is always good - when I am out and about, to come across groups of young people working in a volunteering role. This morning, I was visiting the orthotics department at the HRI who were running a stall to raise funds for the Laura Crane Trust. I invited them to tell me a little more about the charity which they had an exemplary knowledge of and further, invited them to send me a little more information - maybe photos - about the Laura Crane Trust.

They were very organised as this information below appeared in my email three hours before I arrived home. Erin Wood who is involved in the National Citizenship Service sent me this.

As part of our National Citizenship Service we have partnered with a local charity in order to raise money and spread awareness for the good deeds that the charity constantly does in order to help the community, locally and else where. We are fundraising, not only to assist the charity in growing, but to also aid our NCS journey with the 30 hours charity work necessary to graduate.

The chosen charity is the Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust and is an organisation that supports 13-24 year olds who are fighting cancer by funding medical and social research into the most common cancers that effect that age group. Their work helps over 40 hospitals across the UK and helps to alleviate feelings of loneliness for children who have to spend their childhood on hospital wards. Children like Laura.

Tonight - 20/08/19 - there is a charity quiz in aid of the Laura Crane Trust at 7pm at Broad Oak Cricket Club Linthwaite.

Laura Crane was just 15 and studying for her GCSEs when she received the news about her illness. She was diagnosed with a premature teratoma that eventually caused four different cancers to begin to grow in her body, three of which were very aggressive. Despite this awful news, Laura continued to show strength and courage as, although still in and out of hospital, she still found time to volunteer at a youth hospice to help teach disabled children how to swim, before, very sadly, passing in the May of 1996. This resilient attitude is that of which the charity founded in her name has now adopted and they continue to spread the love and laughter that Laura would of wanted to share herself.

Great News! I've been collating information for two books simultaneously for some time. They are quite timely since this is Gastroparesis month and one of my books is entitled Gastroparesis. The other is Alleviating Symptoms of EDS and both address these conditions examining causes and applying bespoke nutrition as the treatment. Meanwhile, Michael and I have been trying to catch up visiting friends and relatives since we are now very much behind with this. I did promise a second cousin I would visit in June. It is now August. None of us are getting younger, as the saying goes. I haven't seen my aunts - all of whom are in their nineties. Communication is fraught at the best of times. I've just looked at the diary and it is completely full with appointments up until the end of August. Michael and I went to the supermarket today. We met my son's former maths tutor and had a good chat about how the youngest son was doing since taking his maths two years early and passing it with flying colours. Anyway, if anyone wants a maths tutor. I can thoroughly recommend John. He can be found on www.huddersfieldmathstuition.co.uk

Meanwhile, my 76 brother-in-law has just moved to his very own first home. We'd been a bit concerned because he'd move 200 miles away from all his friends and his support structure but he seems to be managing fine. He's braver than I am.

I'm very pleased to announce that my latest book The Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia Disease Diet is now able on Amazon in kindle and in paperback. This is a book that I have been meaning to write for a long time. There used to be a time when there was no known cases of Alzheimer's in spite of numerous autopies of those with some form of brain disease. This book examines the underlying processes of both these dementia and identifies nutritional strategies that can help with these conditions. More importantly, it identifes nutritional substances that are able to remove beta amyloid protein that is characteristic of Alzheimer's disease.

EXODUS CHARITY SHOPS

Michael and I enjoyed a weekend looking at some gardens in Cawthorne this last weekend. We also learned of an amazing charity -Exodus - which I hope to bring you more information about in August. Meanwhile, we hear they have a charity shop in Hayes Croft Barnsley Town Centre S70 1RY. Michael and I travel to Barnsley fairly regularly and we normally have homing devices for charity shops but have not come across this one so we took a run out yesterday to see what was happening. The Exodus charity shop is hidden away down a street sandwiched between the Age UK and Sense Charity shops so not really visible as you walk up the main street. When we arrived it was closed - opens at 10am - but now we know it is there we will make an effort to visit it next time we are in Barnsley. Exodus also have another charity shop at 208, Barnsley Road, Cudworth, Barnsley. S72 8UJ which we also plan to visit in the not too distant future.

13/06/19 - Read about the amazing work of MICKLEGATE TEAROOMS IN SELBY, BELOW.

A percentage of the profits from the sale of these books are ploughed back into charities. The charities that have been supported in the past have included:

West Yorkshire Branch Motor Neuron Disease Association

The Huddersfield Support Group Autism

Yorkshire Cancer Research

We have also raised enough money to buy 10 Makaton manuals for a local school.

The Over 60's Holmfirth

The Luncheon Club, Honley

Michael and I were travelling back home from Huby after a couple of nights break. We decided to stop off at Selby since we can never resist the chance of scouring the local charity shops for a bargain. We were on the lookout for a Scrabble but had failed to find one. We were delighted though, when we were able to park right outside the AGE UK Selby District charity shop in Micklegate, noticing as we did so that it was directly opposite the Micklegate Tearoom run by Age UK.

Michael was delighted to find a Ben Sherman shirt for only £1, so after he had paid for that, we dashed across the car park to visit the tearooms.

We stepped into what can only be described as a charming place, full of warmth and character. It was clear that someone – we later found that this was Maureen - had put a lot of effort into making a space that was clean and bright and, where people could meet for a bite with friends in a welcoming atmosphere Tablecloths were pristine and the china teapots found on each table added a nostalgic touch. Michael and I settled at a table and we were greeted warmly by Fiona, Megan and Beryl.

Our order was taken and almost immediately our sandwiches and coffee appeared at our table. I had by then spied the red velvet cake and asked for a slice of that apologising that we were going to share a piece as we wouldn’t be able to eat a piece each. That wasn’t a problem. The cake arrived, cut neatly in half, served on two separate plates accompanied by two cake forks. Perfect! You can’t beat that for service!

We enjoyed the sandwiches, the cake and the coffee but we have to say that we enjoyed them even more because Fiona, Megan and Beryl – who we had never met before - made sure that nothing was too much trouble for them. In this day and age such service is hard to find so I have no hesitation in recommending this little tearoom to you and, if and when, Michael and I should ever travel back to Selby, this will be our first port of call.

Maureen, I am sorry I didn’t take your photograph but if you send me one I will happily include it in the ones on this page. Thank you all once again.

The photos show the tearooms and Fiona, Megan and Beryl.

I am taking a back seat from writing at the moment. Michael and I have decided we need carpeting in the bathroom instead of the non-sip Altro which is becoming quite hard on the feet. We are also carpeting the guest bedroom.

To this end we visited Dixon and Franks in Honley where we receive some old fashioned courteous service and lots of sound advice from George who has steered us through processes like these ever since we moved to Honley in 2009. George is adept at suggesting colours and textures that I would never have thought of but, nevertheless, work very well together. There is never any hit of rushing you into a decision, everything is low key and you are free to browse. However, there is always someone to guide you if you need it. This is one of the reasons that I would not shop anywhere else for flooring. This is sound service from people who really understand their product and your needs.

I stopped to chat to Stuart who was sitting behind the counter. It turned out that we had a lot of things in common so Michael and I passed a pleasant half hour chatting about things in general as though we had known Stuart all our lives.

It was also good to meet and chat to Lawrence, one of the younger members of the team, who was keen to make sure that everything would go smoothly for us.

I came away thinking how fortunate we were to have such a dedicated team like this right on our doorstep. My bungalow and carpets are in good hands.

Many thanks gentlemen

05/05/19 I am pleased to say that my latest book The EDS Recipe Book is now published and available to buy online in paperback and on Kindle. This is a further step forward in helping people to change their eating habits in order to form healthy connective tissue as many of the nutrients which do this are no longer a regular part of our diets. These recipes are simple to make and often include our old favourites but with an additional twist. These recipes are also just as useful for people with osteoarthritis - a condition that is often an outcome of having a condition like EDS or hypermobility syndrome. I am also pleased to say that the book has been dedicated to a lovely and enterprising lady, Fiona Allen, who has experience of living with EDS. She makes a lovely range of ostomy bears that can be used to explain to patients about living with some type of ostomy. She also produces bespoke bears with any type of tubing - catheters, for example.. If you want to contact Fiona you can do so through her Facebook site at this link https://www.facebook.com/craftyfiona/ Her work is featured on one of the photos on this author page. Links will also be included in my books on EDS.

10/03/19 - The book Shingles and Neuropathic Pain is now available to buy. The subject matter had been on my mind for a long time since shingles appears to be rife in society and it is a miserable and debilitating illness. Neuropathic pain is intractable with few treatment options in conventional medicine but all is not lost, there are natural treatments whcich can not only shorten the virus's ability to damage nervous tissue but treatments to treat neuropathic pain.

I have also updated the book Treat Infection Naturally. It provides alternatives to prescribed antibiotic, antivirals and so on. I had amazing results with one trace mineral I took for an infection.

As usual the books are also available as ebooks. Ebooks appear to be the best sellers nowadays although I do have some buyers of the paperbacks.

02/03/19 Thelatest book Multiple Sclerosis Tamed has now been published and is available on Amazon on kindle or in paperback. The book examines the differences in the diets that Professor Swank studied - one of which appeared to increase the chance of being diagnosed with MS and the other appeared to decrease the risk - and what we can learn from them.

The nutrients required for the composition of myelin sheath are also included. As usual, the books tend to cover areas that aren't already covered by other books.

01/02/19 I am pleased to announce that the latest book entitled The EDS and Hypermobility Diet is just in the process of being published and should be on Amazon today. It is available in paperback as well as Kindle and looks at how diet can be adapted to respond to the nutritional needs of someone with poorly formed connective tissue. There are four essential building blocks in the composition of connective tissue and these have largely been removed from our diet in our current culture. While connective tissue is normally formed within the body, defective genes often hinder this endogenous process. However, we can still supply the necessary materials through diet. This book will show you all how to do just that.

10/01/79

I have just finished a book on stress, anxiety and depression since it is clear to me that there needs to be alternative therapies to the prescription medications. When you look at the role that neurotransmitters play in mental health and how easy it is to obtain the building blocks from food then I do wonder why people are not referred to medical nutritionists more often especially as the correct neurotransmitters can lift mood within minutes. We seem to have forgotten many skills. The book Effective treatment for stress, anxiety and depression is currently being published on Kindle and should be live soon. The paperback version

has also been submitted and hopefully will be live tomorrow.

17/12/18

The series of books on various health related issues are coming along well and seem to be popular with readers. This helps to support our chosen charities as well as providing useful information for the readers. Pain and sleep deprivation, after all, can impact greatly on the quality of our lives, among other issues. The good news is that a lot can be done about them once you understand the reasoning behind why these things happen.

I am just finishing a book on joint and soft tissue pain. Hopefully it will be out for Christmas, on Kindle, if not in paperback. Paperback always takes up to five days to become live. The paperbacks which are already out will make good stocking fillers if you are looking for something last minute. However, they are not just for Christmas they are for all year round for those who need some good no nonsense advice on a variety of ailments.

28/10/18 - well here we are. At last the sequel to Fanny and Victorian Jack has been completed. It is called Fanny and the Gamekeeper's Cottage and is priced at £7.99. I enjoyed writing it as much as I did the first and just like Fanny and Victorian Jack it has lots of twists and turns and a cliff hanger of an ending. I am really keen to get onto the third book in this series but I am half way through an academic book and this needs a lot of application. Fortunately, the long, dark nights are just right for getting to grips with book writing. I would love reviews on any of my books if you have the time.

All books are now on Kindle.

July 27th - WYBMNDA meeting - met some lovely volunteers working for the NCS, helping to raise funds and awareness for motor neurone disease. See photo of all volunteers and MNDA member - Michael Martin - whose dedicatory interview appears in A Summer's Symphony.

We raised £403.50 at our Open Garden Day for the WYBMNDA yesterday. Elke and her Mum made two lovely banana cakes which were delicious.

Latest Reviews for FANNY AND VICTORIAN JACK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sLQEbB4bqk&t=87s

Love Hannah

Fanny and Victorian Jack is an amazing children's book which let my imagination go wild. It also taught me a lot about Victorian times, I loved the ending, it really put the story together, Something else which was really cool was that it has an element of magic in it like when Fanny time travels. I also know that this book will really help people understand what Asperger's Syndrome is. I read this book very quickly because I was totally engrossed in it. Elke Richards age 9

I really enjoyed your book. It's taught me about things that I didn't already know about the syndrome that Fanny had. It is clever that you kept the book a fiction and I could read it over again.

From Isla

I enjoyed when Fanny gave Jack and Clara all the presents and gifts. I especially like the ending - it was really clever. My favourite character is Clara Bones. I also like how it explains the struggles of life in Victorian times.

By Olivia

Dear Lynne D M Noble

I love the book. I like the way you have facts about the Victorians but it is also amazing how you have still kept it fiction.

I think you should explain what challenges Fanny has to go through with Asperger's Syndrome for it can get a little confusing,

Apart from that it was an incredible story and I would recommend it to other people.

Love Hannah

Coming Soon - A SUMMER'S SYMPHONY

THE PREJUDGED - this is the first of a trilogy which tells of the author growing up with a disability in the 1950's. The author has memories which extend before she was a year old and vividly remembers her mother hanging her nappies out on the line. Lynne had some unusual interests when she was a young child which she describes in detail and which, for the most part, continue in adulthood.

Class and disability prejudices were rife in the 1950's and Lynne describes in poignant detail the pain of growing up in that era.

Lynne's three children were on the autistic spectrum with all three showing unusual abilities although their vulnerability shows throughout.

Lynne's writing is evocative in content and easily moves the reader to tears. This is a must read book.

WHERE THE BLACKBIRD NEVER SINGS - this is the second in the trilogy which continues Lynne's life story bringing up three very bright but vulnerable children who all have Asperger's Syndrome. The autistic traits of all three children are examined in more detail but what is interesting is how Lynne uses the well documented traits of Asperger's to effect profound change in her community and work in a voluntary and paid capacity. She also undertakes a degree, a Cert Ed (FE) and and Adv Dip SEN simultaneously before adding further to her qualifications. Lynne eventually fosters children. The antics of some of the children will have you in stitches. Lynne has to employ all her patience and her life experience to undo the profound damage that these children have suffered.

Lynne also worked with individuals with Alzheimer's. In this book Lynne describes how she worked with one lady who hadn't spoken for three years and yet Lynne's intervention found this lady uttering her first words after this time period. A thoughtful and insightful piece of work which should be read by all those who think Alzheimer's is irreversible.

Just as in THE PREJUDGED, Lynne often revisits certain topics and examines them in greater detail (written in italics). Reflective and insightful they give a lot of food for thought.

FANNY AND VICTORIAN JACK - Lynne's latest book and also her first children's book which is becoming a fast favourite with grandparents who intend buying it for their grandchildren and then find they can't put it down themselves. Lynne wrote this after two young boys she knew, were complaining that the history they were taught was 'boring.' Lynne decided to bring Victorian times to life in a fun way which was educational and would also help to increase vocabulary which is linked with IQ. The main character has Asperger's Syndrome and while this book was not solely written for those with Asperger's, it does help understand some of the traits which some children on the autistic spectrum may have.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Lynne Noble was brought up in Dalton, Huddersfield, and attended the local schools before passing her 11+ and moving onto Huddersfield High School. Lynne had a series of illnesses which meant that she could not take up medicine. Writing provided the necessary therapy Lynne required to help her cope with some very difficult years as her three children were all on the autistic spectrum.

Lynne eventually fostered children whilst undertaking a rigorous program of academic study. On adopting her son, she started a law degree but became unwell again and couldn't continue. Lynne moved into education, collecting an impressive range of qualifications in this area as well as other subjects. She lectured in a wide range of subjects before working as an educational consultant. She then completed various other programs of academic study including a number of qualifications in counselling. She has undertaken research into cognitive decline and memory loss.

Lynne is passionate about social justice. She holds various positions in a voluntary capacity where she can be influential in changing policy which will benefit the most vulnerable in society. She has been involved in setting up projects in the community which have helped meet a child's educational and social needs. She is passionate about helping children reach their academic potential. She has always wanted to write for children in a fun but informative way.

Lynne's first children’s book Fanny and Victorian Jack has just been published.( see the link at the end of this biography) She has already started the second in the series which is provisionally called Fanny and the Great Stink.

Lynne is the author of three books and she is currently workin
