Beltane, Free eBook, Anime, and Cake!
Hello, Lovelies! Hope you all are having a wonderful new year! Mine's been going good so far, and came with a surprise for me (that I can't tell any of you yet...but soon!) :)
First of all, this is important. I am a member of Alliance For Natural Health, an EU/UK based natural-living group. Every so often, they send out emails that I've, until recently, usually simply skimmed over. Today, however, two sections of their email caught my eye...and I thought I'd pass on the info. :)
Ridiculous Arbitrary Allowance: free online book until 15 January!
Drs Steve Hickey (ANH Expert Committee) and Hilary Roberts, authors of the book Ascorbate: The Science of Vitamin C have just published a fascinating book called Ridiculous Dietary Allowance: An Open Challenge to the RDA for Vitamin C. It’s essential reading for anyone with an interest in nutrition, and readers who have yet to heed the advice of the great Linus Pauling, will have great difficulty not doing so after reading the book.
Download it free of charge up until 15 January 2005 by clicking on the following the link: http://www.lulu.com/content/92249. Thanks to Steve Hickey for making this available to ANH supporters.
Fluoride in drinking water
Many of you are likely to be concerned about chemicals in drinking water. You are right to be. The WHO recently held a consultation about proposed drinking water guidelines. What really stood out to us was the level of fluoride that the WHO considered to be acceptable: 1.5 mg/l. This is more than twice the level known to cause dental fluorosis (discolouration, mottling and weakening of the teeth) in children.
We submitted a report to the WHO, which has been widely acclaimed by anti-fluoride groups around the world. We show why a level of 1.5 mg fluoride / litre is not sustainable scientifically. You can download the report from the following link: http://www.alliance-natural-health.org/_docs/ANHwebsiteDoc_113.pdf.
Secondly, I am absolutley in love with two new animes:
Bottle Fairy and Mermaid Melody Pitchi Pitchi Pitch Pure
They are wonderful!! Bottle fairy is a 13-episode mini-series which I downloaded last week. It's adorable! I'm only on episode 5 because SailormoonR is taking up all my time at the present moment. Mermaid Melody is great, but Pitchi Pitchi Pitch Pure is the second half of the series. MMPPP (no pure) is the first half, but unfortunately, it was licensed for distribution, so all copy distribution was ceased. *sobs* Yep, so those are my new loves! Aidan, I fear, is going to kill me soon. I don't think he can handle high-pitched female japanese voices much longer. ^^
Hmm...any other news? Umm...oh yes. But it's a secret, for now anyway. I'll probably be able to tell you all in the next couple weeks. A hint, you ask? Eh, no. No hints. Except for that it's a BIG secret! ^^
Ta-ta lovelies!
P.S. Sherry, I got your magazine and Christmas card! Thank you so so so so so much!! I've shown everyone here and they all think it's cool that I have a famous friend! You are too awesome!!
