               Caron Von Zeil  

‘WATER  is  a priority not only because future economic growth relies on
adequate provision of water that will sustain development for present and
future generations; for which reason urgent steps  need to be taken to
reduce loss; waste and pollution.  As  the environmental crisis deteriorates
worldwide, it is evermore essential  that  the  fundamental need is  for
strengthened community, collaborative approaches and an empowered
citizenry.’http://www.facebook.com/pages/Reclaim-Camissa

PROFILES:

 Sue Visser Sue is a health researcher . A passionate seeker of the truth behind medicines, theories and protocols concerning our health and wellbeing. Sue pioneered fluoride free toothpaste for supermarkets in 1996 when dentists thought she was crazy. She began her radio shows and started writing for health magazines to share all manner of hard hitting home truths. Sue now also contributes to television and gives free public workshops and demonstrations at health and environmental seminars. She is the author of HEALTHY HAPPY EATING. Sue attends to the needs of therapists and their patients on her popular Q & A sessions on the website: www.naturefresh.co.za She believes “the truth is out there” and questions medical malpractice that causes a lot of harm. She looks at both sides of the white jacket because complementary medicine can also do harm. Both sides impart parrot-fashion lies that masquerade as “truth”. It is up to us to question, experiment and evaluate their opinions. This is what a true scientist does. As such, Sue’s journalism is often too controversial for popular health magazines that support advertising features. She tells the truth about parabens, MSG, breast disease, arthritis and gallstones!

Rod Tritton
My exploration of these mysteries has uncovered a distinct lack of credible answers, and this has led to a compulsion to write about them. I have spent many years trying to make sense of all the conflicting viewpoints and varied interpretations of the ‘evidence’. By writing down the arguments, I have been able to work through the research and apply my common sense. You may not agree with my conclusions, but they will surely get you wondering a little more about what’s going on around you. For too long we have been fed stories about what is and what isn’t the case, and too many times the official story is wrong. The veils of secrecy cover manipulations and controls that we must all be aware of in order to be free. And with the outpouring of truth that is happening at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, it is time to start some serious consideration of an alternative ancient history of humanity to the one our school books tell us.
