Bio and concerns
Dr Cabot graduated with honours in Medicine and Surgery from the
University of South Australia in 1975. As part of her extracurricular
medical training, she studied herbal medicine, acupuncture,
homoeopathy and nutritional medicine. This was considered somewhat
unusual for a medical student during this era, as such treatments were
still considered questionable. This did not deter Dr Cabot's
inquisitive spirit, as at a young age she could see beyond the
limitations of drug orientated medicine.
Dr Cabot began her medical career in 1980 as a GP
Obstetrician-Gynecologist and practised in Sydney Australia. During
the mid 1980s she spent considerable time working as a volunteer
doctor at the Leyman hospital, which was the largest missionary
hospital in India. Here she studied tropical and infectious diseases
and tended to the poor indigenous women with obstetric emergencies.
Dr Cabot returned to Australia in the late 1980's to resume her
practice and also decided to become an author. Her first book titled
"Women's Health" was an authoritative holistic health guide.
Subsequently she wrote several more ground breaking books – "Menopause
– HRT and its Natural Alternatives", "Don't Let Hormones Ruin Your
Life", "The Body Shaping Diet", "The Liver Cleansing Diet", "The
Healthy Liver and Bowel Book", "Boost Your Energy", "Raw Juices can
save your Life" and "Can't lose weight? – Unlock the secrets that make
you store fat." Her latest book published in December 2002 is titled
"Hormone Replacement – the REAL Truth - Balance Your Hormones and
Swing from the Chandeliers!
Her book "The Liver Cleansing Diet" has sold well over a million and a
half copies worldwide and has made her a household name in Australia
and New Zealand, and well-known in the USA. The Liver Cleansing Diet
Book won the Australian People's Choice Award in 1997.
Dr Cabot (aka The Flying Doctor) is a commercial pilot and flies
herself to seminars throughout Australia, often visiting remote areas
to help people learn more about her health message. She has conducted
health seminars all over the world and is frequently asked to lecture
for numerous health organisations such as The American Liver
Foundation and the Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Society.
Dr Cabot believes that the most important health issues for people
today are –
The control of obesity and the prevention of diabetes
Educating our children about good diet and lifestyle
Making hormone replacement therapy safe and as natural as possible
The use of specific nutritional supplements to treat and prevent
diseases
Educating doctors about the proper use of nutritional medicine
The effective treatment of mental and emotional illness
A supportive and well educated community where people have the
confidence and knowledge to find the best health care
