Up Close and Personal
The monthly interview with CTM founder, Phillip Day

ECLUB: Bonjour.
PD: Getting ready for the French referendum, Brian?
ECLUB: 55% of the French will say 'Non!' to the EU constitution. What do you think?
PD: It will be a blow to the EU if the French do vote it down as they are one of the core states. A French no would set back Brussels's integration plans tremendously, which can only be a good thing. Germany is battered as ever on the rocks of financial disaster, mostly due to the euro. There are worrying signs, though, that if the French do scupper it, the British may be denied their vote out of expediency, since a referendum after France would be superfluous.
ECLUB: Why would that be a problem?
PD: Because the British need to confront the whole problem of Europe themselves, which they have so far resolutely refused to do. Denying us a say in a referendum would have the effect of keeping British dissention under cover while the euro-federalists run off with their constitution, tweak it a bit, then return saying, 'OK, we fixed the problem, vote on it again.'
ECLUB: An interesting few weeks to watch then. What else?
PD: Two victories against fluoridation in Australia. The Australian feds are one of the staunchest for fluoridation in the world. These are victories for the people and important ones. We have lots more on allicin, the heart of garlic, which, according to scientists, will slay everything from MRSA to nappy rash to bubonic plague…
ECLUB: Without the pong?
PD: With the minimum of olfactory stimulus, Brian. Peter Josling's book, Allicin - The Heart of Garlic, is a must, by the way. Think of allicin as nature's natural antibiotic without the dangers to the immune system.
ECLUB: What about Kylie?
PD: I pray the correct information finds its way to her entourage and she has time to read it. Folks, if there are any of you unsure of the best approach to avoiding or treating cancer, click here and take the mini-tour, then read my book, Cancer: Why We're Still Dying to Know the Truth. How much better not to have to deal with cancer in the first place.
ECLUB: What else?
PD: We have a piece on the connection between bullying and watching TV. How to avoid morning sickness using ginger. More research on the dangers of mobile phones and the surprising cure (see my notes on the article). A piece out of Water - The Stuff of Life, what the wet stuff will do for your parched, dehydrated body, yadda, yadda, etc. etc.
ECLUB: How's the new tour going?
PD: We're loving it. How's your attitude, Brian?
ECLUB: Ask the wife. She gets the pay-check.
PD: I'm never going to be out of work then, am I?
