Up Close and Personal
The monthly Interview with CTM Founder, Phillip Day

ECLUB: Live 8, The G8 summit, London Olympics 2012, the London bombings: it's been quite a month. All that, and the EU vitamin ban too.
PD: And how do you imagine they will enforce it?
ECLUB: With the Pharma-Gestapo? You don't seem very disappointed.
PD: I'm not. The whole thing's a shambles. As usual, with all things EU, the left hand does not know what the right is doing (probably all the nose-candy getting snorted in its toilets (see article)). The Alliance for Natural Health, which challenged the vitamin and herbal directives, has a summary of where things stand at the moment.
ECLUB: So what's going to happen?
PD: Rumours abound. Some say vitamins will still be allowed since they occur naturally in foods. Others that the directives have made a mockery of the EU, are unenforceable, and have only served to increase everyone's detestation of Brussels. Certainly since La Chirac insulted the British diet and lost Paris's bid for the Olympics (ha!), as well as his own constitutional referendum, many more people have woken up to this and, since the bombings, renewed calls, urged by the EU, for the hated ID cards. In this EClub, we have several articles devoted to this and the supplements issue.
ECLUB: It's a global attack on our heath freedoms, isn't it?
PD: Yes. The drug industry wants to be captain of all. Those reading this can join their regional alliances and prepare for battle. The good guys are as follows: New Zealand Health Trust, Alliance for Health Freedom (Australia), Eve Hillary (Australia), Rath Foundation (Europe and the world), Alliance for Natural Health (UK and the world), International Advocates for Health Freedom (USA and Canada).
ECLUB: What else?
PD: Staying with the EU for a sec, it looks like Blair et al will try to implement key provisions of the EU constitution on Britain anyway. Most of the institutions the constitution would have ratified are up and running already: The European space program, the criminal code, the European Defence Agency, the common asylum policy, autonomous politico-military command structures, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, to name but a few. Any reading this who don't yet know of the dangers to their way of life and freedoms, now is the time to get involved and busy. We'll explain how.
ECLUB: You're so martial.
PD: Stand at ease, Brian.
ECLUB: What else?
PD: A new society planned where everyone will be able to take pleasure drugs to make them forget, or tune into the moods of their friends when they go out for the evening.
ECLUB: No-one saw that coming.
PD: On the positive side, more research showing the benefits of eating brazil nuts to ward off cancer. Charles Hendry MP too gets vocal on the drugging of our children.
ECLUB: And Australia and New Zealand?
PD: You're a reminding godsend, Brian. Tickets are now on sale for my forthcoming Attitude Tour, taking in exotic locales Down Under, how to have a good life, how to tune yourself mentally to the peak performance of a Lamborghini Diablo, banish depression, get kitted for your personal mission. The new book, The Little Book of Attitude, will be available along with the others at the talks. Samantha and I are excited already. The Antipodean spirit, the sweeping vista of the Blue Mountains, the serenity of Taupo, the parks of Christchurch, the surf of Glenelg, Perth's passion, Melbourne's mellow, Sydney's splendour and, of course, the Brisbane Sheraton.
ECLUB: Rich desserts - you?'
PD: Don't get carried away, Brian, it's only a piece of cheesecake.
ECLUB: Thank you, Phillip.
PD: Mud pie in your eye, mate.
