Summer update from the Alliance for Natural Health

We hope this eBlast finds you enjoying your summer break, soaking up some essential vitamin D and recharging your batteries in readiness for the return to work.

Whilst the phones are quiet, the streets noticeably less busy and millions around the world are taking a vacation or watching the Olympics, the ANH office has been anything but quiet.  We thought we'd send a short communication with some selected news items for your interest.

We may be witnesses to the steady erosion of our personal freedoms on a daily basis, but our hearts, our minds and our spirits remain our own.  Although these may be difficult times, it's important to keep celebrating and finding things to appreciate every day. 

Please keep networking, the power of communication is limitless, it costs nothing, but brings about profound change.  Rather than viewing what is happening as a series of setbacks to engender fear, we see them as opportunities for growth and change, where we can actively influence the world we are creating.

Find out more about our Sustainable Healthcare campaign and the much needed paradigm shift in healthcare which encourages healthcare approaches that are compatible with our bodies and our environment.  You can find the rest of the ANH campaigns here.

Thank you to all of you who have participated in the forums, emailed in your comments, thoughts and wishes and donated to our campaign.  Your support is invaluable and greatly appreciated.  We may be a small team, with your support behind us, we all become a real force for change.

Please remember, you can keep helping by:

1. Using the 'Forward to a Friend' option at the base of the eBlast for anyone you know who cares about natural health and encourage them to sign up themselves via our website at www.anhcampaign.org.
2. Completing the registration form so that you can access the full functionality of the new ANH site and send the link to your friends.
3. Visiting to our get involved page.
4. Including a link to the ANH site at www.anhcampaign.org
5. Helping to support our work by making a donation via the homepage. Our limiting factor continues to be financial and we are urgently in need of funds.  The ANH is supported entirely on donations.

Have a happy healthy remainder of your summer

ANH Feature: The real story of vitamin C and cancer

Tuesday 5th Aug saw yet another media frenzy over what was sold to us as breaking news. If you were to believe the hype, then you could be forgiven for thinking that the study released from the US National Institutes of Health showing that intravenous vitamin C is effective at destroying cancer, is totally new. It isn't and worse, the true pioneers of this research haven't even been acknowledged!
