Welcome
|
The warmest of welcome to all our new readers, scores of you in the
past few weeks. I've some glorious pics for you, so put aside five
minutes to enjoy their beauty and calm. Many thanks to my dear friend
Eve for these. She is becoming our regular Australian correspondent!
 The great news this time is that the fantastic new RAW ebook is out. Put together by Sarah Best, the wonderfully
creative and supportive editor of Fresh Mag. She has collected those
of us who've been teaching and writing Living or Raw Foods for, in some
cases, a very long time, and made us answer her questions. It should
be very useful especially to newcomers, and shows clearly where
opinions are divided, so there should be no more need for indecision.
Just weigh up the arguments, find out a bit about the writers, and
decide for yourself! Very healthy! You can get it here.

European Alliance of Initiatives for Applied Anthroposophy / ELIANT
 Admirers
and followers of Rudolph Steiner's work may already be involved, but if
this is new to you, have a look at the charter, and sign up if you
agree with their aims. Europe could be a more enlightened place to
live in respect of education, raising healthy kids and farming.
A short extract from their letter:
"Could you send this email to a few friends and acquaintances, and ask them to sign online as well?"
Then
we will soon reach our goal of one million signatures and will also, as
the European ELIANT Alliance, have an opportunity to invoke the new
regulations relating to the European Citizens' Initiative (ECI), and
work to promote civil society concerns. We are working to ensure a
Europe of cultural diversity in which freedom of choice in education,
anthroposophic medicines and organic quality baby foods without the
addition of artificial vitamins receive the legal safeguards in Europe
which they need.

PANDEMRIX Flu vaccine By Philip Weeks
The serious news is that the UK Government has ordered 60 million doses of the swine flu vaccine, and is going to push everyone to have it, with incentives for GPs to administer it. Our American readers will already be aware of similar pressures in the U.S. and some of the natural health newsletters are reporting serious side effects.
Below is a message from my colleague Philip Weeks, Master Herbalist in Hereford, who has spoken to the manufacturers who were quite open about the content of mercury, formaldehyde and other poisons!
The controversy is continuing about the validity of the upcoming vaccine to combat the H1N1 virus. So much so that in a survey of Dr's in the UK; 71.3% said they were "concerned that the vaccine has not yet been through sufficient trials to guarantee safety [i]".
Even so the government has just ordered 60 million doses of the vaccine (Pandemrix). With GP's practices getting paid money per vaccine they administer there may be a lot of pressure to accept vaccination.
However the Pandemrix vaccine contains ingredients such as ;Squalene, extracted from shark liver oil)[ii] Thiomersal (mercury)
I obtained a copy of the vaccine leaflet and it has warnings for those with allergies to; 'egg and chicken protein, ovalbumin, formaldehyde (a known cause of cancer in humans[iii]), gentamicin sulphate (antibiotic) or sodium deoxycholate.'[iv]
So it may be that you do not want to get injected with mercury, antibiotics, formaldehyde and shark liver oil! As a herbalist I am interested in what nature has to offer to optimise our immune system and help us deal with the age old problem of the flu.
Supercharge your immune system;
- Consume lots of fresh garlic and onions.
- Avoid sugar, it depletes the immune system and make you more vulnerable to viruses but increase antioxidants by eating blueberries
- Take a broad spectrum Probiotic, as research has shown it helps overall immunity.
- Elderberry extract has shown to be very helpful against the flu virus.
- Immune tonics such as Echinacea, Astragalas and
Overall keep your immune system, 'tip top' by avoiding stress and having enough rest.

Pioneering Research into Prevention and Alleviation of Arthritis.
|
 Regular readers will remember Dr Rex Newnham, an Australian Naturopath, who realised that a deficiency of minerals in the soil was associated with arthritis. He researched this world wide, correlating the prevalence of arthritis and osteoporosis with the amount of boron in the soil. For example Egypt, where the soil is boron rich, there is no arthritis, and the UK, where we have none or very little, and practically everyone gets arthritis sooner or later.
 He formulated his balanced supplement, now called Bone Health, and helped countless people from his Yorkshire home.
Sadly Dr. Newnham died last year, but the formula is still available through his good friend and neighbour Richard Jackson. I'm pleased to say that the books are reprinted also, and are now in my bookshop along with the bone health supplement.
This is a first for me! I have never sold any supplements, and can't imagine promoting any others but I have given this one to so many people with good results, that I am very pleased to link with the distributors. Unlike many clever discoveries of this kind, this one was always very modestly priced, as were the two books, and Richard Jackson has continued this tradition.
Have a look at some more background and the original piece he wrote for this newsletter.

My friend on the North Wales coast has sent something quite different; if you've never seen people hugging bewildered police and security guards in London, take a look.

The presentation weekend for the last course this year takes place shortly, and the first places have already been allocated for next spring. The course starts 17th April 2010.
I suggest applying early to be sure of a place. Several people had to postpone their plans this past year, so I expect there will be more than usual wanting the few available places.
