the following is part of the 1997 SF-LiFE "Health & Rejuvenation Expo"
newsletter/program guide (the Expo was held on June 1, 1997).
Because I am a member of only two e-mail lists (raw-food and veg-raw), I
must specify that this particular article can NOT be crossposted to any
other list, without my express permission.
Please see the "Introduction to EXPO Posts" for further details.
