It has a long history of safe use in many countries. Suddenly it has been taken off the market in the UK and its use restricted in the US. No clear reasons have been given, but it is interesting to note that this low cost, unpatentable simple herb has been serious competition to manufacturers of patent artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. Aspartame food additives offer ways of disguising food, for instance to make a poor quality food appear to be wholesome and fresh, or sweeter. Too often these additives can damage our health. For example we often find Aspartame used as a sweetener, especially in Lo-Cal drinks. Find out about the dark side of Aspartame.

He's a bit of a self-publicist, but despite that he presents some convincing stuff.   A Healing Approach to Cancer For some reason it's illegal in the UK to talk about Healing cancer. Treatment, managing, dying - all OK, but not healing. It's almost as if the establishment has decided it's impossible. Or, the drug companies, knowing it cannot be cured by drugs, don't want the competion... Anyway, for some very sensible approaches to cancer and all diseases check out Hulda Clark. Better still, read her book A Cure For All Diseases, the first of a series, others dealing with AIDS, cancer and advanced cancer. I have seen some remarkable recoveries using her techniques, inevitably getting the denial from the doctor - "must have got the wrong diagnosis - cancer can't be cured" I wonder just how many people there are out there, alive thanks to a wrong diagnosis...     General health related news       Health News http://www.nvic.org For those concerned about vaccination and immunisation: e-news from the national vaccine information center, Vienna, Virginia.   Holistic holidays       Spirit of Life www.thespiritoflife.co.uk email: info@thespiritoflife.co.uk 75 Stoke Lane, Westbury-on Trym, Bristol BS9 3SN UK Tel +44 (0)870 242 7069 Spirit of Life Centre Agios Nicolaos, Messinia, T24024, Greece Tel: 0030 27210 78240   International       May Day, Denmark www.mayday-info.dk/ Fritt Helsevalg, Norway www.fritthelsevalg.org/   top of page
