UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL: The monthly comment from CTM founder, Phillip Day.

BRITAIN MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN THE US AND THE EU: Segolene Royal, the Socialist candidate for the French presidency, wants Britain to choose between being a "vassal" of the United States, and embracing a French-led drive for European integration, her adviser on Europe has revealed.
HOW TO LABEL A GOAT: Ross Clark, a writer with an angry swarm of bees in his bonnet, leaves no stone unturned in his mission to expose how far we have sunk into a Kafkaesque world of intrusive and often pointless nannying.

MILK ALLERGY CASES MISSED IN BABIES: Up to 50,000 British babies show symptoms of an allergy to cows' milk, but the vast majority are being misdiagnosed and suffer unnecessarily, it is claimed today.
GARLIC AS A CANCER TREATMENT: Researchers have found that allicin, a chemical found in garlic that gives it its flavour, could be used to fight cancer. A previous study also found that allicin can fight MRSA, or staph infection.
PHONE MASTS IN YOUR HOME AND OFFICE: Controversial plans to install mini mobile phone masts in homes and offices in return for cheap phone calls were unveiled by O2 today. The phone network hopes to use the masts, called picocells, to allow customers to make calls over the internet using their mobile phone.
THE CANCER RESEARCH MONEY MACHINE: How many times do you see commercials on the boob tube that say cancer has become "a way of life," or "one in X number of Americans will develop cancer"? The drum-beat is never ending for one cancer research center after another wanting your insurance company's bucks for treatment, says one angry free-thinker.
THE EXTRAORDINARY SUBSTANCE THAT IS WATER: James LeFanu talks about the properties that make water so essential and why it is a truly remarkable substance.

WHITE FLOUR CONTAINS DIABETES-CAUSING CONTAMINANT, ALLOXAN: You may want to think twice before eating your next sandwich on white bread. Studies show that alloxan, the chemical that makes white flour look "clean" and "beautiful," destroys the beta cells of the pancreas.
SUGAR FEEDS CANCER: The 1931 Nobel laureate in medicine, Otto Warburg, Ph.D., first discovered cancer cells have a fundamentally different energy metabolism compared to healthy cells. The crux of his Nobel thesis? That malignant tumours frequently exhibit an increase in anaerobic glycolysis, a process whereby glucose is used as a fuel by cancer cells with lactic acid as an anaerobic by-product.
BIG RISE IN CHEMICAL COSHES FOR CHILDREN: More than 1,000 prescriptions for powerful drugs to treat so-called behavioural disorders in children are being handed out every day. The official figures, released by the Department of Health, have alarmed critics who fear that children are being unnecessarily drugged due to an increasing tendency among doctors to "medicalise" bad behaviour.
VACCINES SHOW SINISTER SIDE: If two dozen once-jittery mice at UBC are telling the truth postmortem, the world's governments may soon be facing one hell of a lawsuit. New, so-far-unpublished research led by Vancouver neuroscientist Chris Shaw shows a link between the aluminum hydroxide used in vaccines, and symptoms associated with Parkinson's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease), and Alzheimer's.
MERCK'S LATEST DRUG SCAM A WORTHLESS DIABETES DRUG: A new class of worthless drugs is being marketed to treat a disease that can be eliminated in nearly everyone with proper diet and exercise, reports a leading Internet doctor.
FAILURE RATE OF SURGERY REACHES 20%: One in five people who undergo surgery in Australia will develop an infection that requires further treatment or need to have a second operation to fix complications caused by medical errors or the poor quality of the new generation of hip and knee prostheses.
SEXUAL ORGASM INCREASES LONGEVITY: Having regular (and enthusiastic) sex confers a host of measurable physiological advantages to both men and women. In one of the most credible studies tracking overall health with sexual frequency, the mortality of roughly 1,000 middle-aged men was tracked over the course of a decade.
THE WEEKLY HEALTH TIP, CHEW YOUR FOOD: It may sound silly but there are important reasons we should chew our food more than most of us do.
MAILBAG: This month's collection of letters from our new subscribers about these and other issues.
