UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL: The monthly comment from CTM founder, Phillip Day (now in video format).

QUACKBUSTER BUSTED: Self-proclaimed 'Quackbuster', Stephen Barrett is fleeing his hometown and operating base in Allentown Pennsylvania following crushing defeats by chiropractor Tedd Koren and Ilena Rosenthal, leaving a trail of unpaid legal bills in his wake.
CAN FOOD SAVE YOUR MEMORY: There is no cure for Alzheimer's at present but a good case for a healthy diet rich in various vitamins and essential oils could help to stave off the disease, studies have found.
AUSTRALIAN JUNK FOOD TOTS IN HOSPITAL: An alarming number of children are being treated at hospitals for chronic stomach pain because they are being fed too much junk food.
PUMPKIN OFFERS HOPE FOR DIABETICS: The pumpkin could end the need for type 1 diabetics to have insulin injections, a study suggests. Researchers found that pumpkin extract promotes regeneration of damaged pancreatic cells in diabetic rats.
MOST DOCTORS DON'T OFFER THIS TREATMENT BECAUSE IT IS NOT A DRUG: NICE (The National Institute for Clinical Excellence) gives guidelines to doctors who are treating epilepsy not to try the ketonic diet until two drugs have proved ineffective.
NEW STUDY REVEALS THAT ECHINACEA CAN HELP REDUCE AND STOP A COLD: A scientific study has shown what many people have been saying for years - that there really is a herbal remedy for the common cold. Echinacea can reduce the chances of catching a cold by more than half, researchers report today.
TWO IN THREE BELIEVE RADIATION FROM PHONES DAMAGE THEIR HEALTH: Two-thirds of Britons believe radiation from mobile phones and their masts has affected their health, a startling official survey shows. And huge majorities are dissatisfied with government assurances about the potential threat.
THREE GIRLS DIE AND OTHERS HOSPITALISED AFTER HPV VACCINE: Amid controversy over state legislatures in the US requiring young girls to take Gardasil, Merck's new vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV), severe side-effects are being reported.
ONE IN 58 BRITISH CHILDREN IS AUTISTIC, NEW FIGURES REVEAL: Almost twice as many children in Britain could have autism than previously thought. What could be the cause?

SCAN RISKS EXPOSED: General practitioners are exposing their patients to high doses of radiation and potentially cancer by ordering unnecessary CT scans, a study has found.
TRILLION DOLLAR HEALTH SCAM: CBS Sixty Minutes' revealing exposé of the pharmaceutical industry's amazing hold over the US legislative process. Scandal? What scandal?
WHEN DOCTORS STRIKE, FEWER PEOPLE DIE: In 1973 doctors in Israel staged a month-long strike and during that month, mortality fell by 50 percent. A couple of years later, a two-month work stoppage by doctors in the Columbian capital of Bogotá led to a 35 percent decline in deaths.
CORRUPTION IN CANCER RESEARCH? Cancer research hero Sir Richard Doll was lauded for being instrumental in discovering the connection between smoking and lung cancer. Yet Injurywatch has uncovered a series of secret payments from environmental polluters to the leading Oxford University cancer researcher. Professor Samuel Epstein also agrees Sir Richard Doll was a fallen angel.
WHAT THE WORLD EATS: Take a fascinating look at what's on people's dinner tables across the globe, and why the health of the Western world is in rapid decline from all our prepackaged, chemically processed and sugar-laden goods .

AS FROM 23rd JUNE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF INDIVIDUAL NATIONS IS NOW DIMINISHED: So Tony Blair has put his signature to the treaty and the juggernaut has ploughed on in exactly the way the Eurocrats had planned. Now our new Prime Minister must demonstrate that his first commitment is to our democratic rights.
WHAT DOES THIS "NEW" TREATY SELL-OUT MEAN TO US?: Answer: an EU President, Foreign Minister and Diplomatic Service. A European Court of Justice with sweeping powers over home affairs - and this is only the beginning! The chilling truth is spelled out by Neil O'Brien.
MAILBAG: This month's collection of letters from our new subscribers about these and other issues.
