as the lists have been quiet of late, I decided to post the following short article recently written for the SF-LiFE newsletter. I have edited it to remove an appeal at the end for members to get involved with the SF-LiFE library. I have an article on new web sites that is in progress, and I hope to post that soon - in a week or so. That article will mention other newsletters as well (Hippocrates, Tree of Life, Living Nutrition, and others). So, there will be more on newsletters in a future post. Regards, Tom Billings [log in to unmask] NEW MAGAZINES AND NEWSLETTERS IN THE SF-LIFE LIBRARY: MINI-REVIEWS by Tom Billings The library recently subscribed to the newsletter "Beyond Health", which is put out by Raymond Francis (who spoke at an SF-LiFE potluck earlier this year). Note: the library also subscribes to a different newsletter with a similar name, "Health & Beyond", the excellent newsletter put out by Chet Day. Getting back to "Beyond Health" by Raymond Francis: it is bi-monthly, 8 pages. It includes health news, questions/answers by Raymond Francis, product announcements, and article(s). The latest issue (September/October 1997) has an article on sunlight and health. The newsletter has a nice layout, and is attractive. Check it out! Donated by members: "R.E.A.L. News" (Raw Energy and Alternative Lifestyle News), a quarterly newsletter from Australia. The library has one sample issue (Spring 1997, issue 3). The issue has a theme - pesticide use (2 long articles), and genetic engineering. The issue includes a short article of mine (Tom Billings), that was taken from an old post on the veg-raw e-mail list. There is also an interesting article on "Animal Products in the Raw Food Diet" that discusses the consumption of insects. If you are interested in natural hygiene or fruitarianism, the newsletter is definitely worth checking out. Donated by members: "Health Science", the bi-monthly magazine of the ANHS (American Natural Hygiene Society, Tampa, Florida). This is an attractive, glossy, very professional looking magazine. The major limitation of the magazine, in my opinion, is that the selection of authors featured in the magazine, appears to be somewhat limited. It also seems to be exclusively pro-vegan, whereas natural hygiene can include some animal products (e.g., see the writings of Tilden). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Not in the article - contact info: REAL News Subscription info: $40/year (4 issues) for delivery outside Australia (prices in Australian dollars, $22.00/year in Australia REAL News PO Box 8166 Cairns QLD Australia 4870 e-mail: [log in to unmask] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Beyond Health 1 yr = 6 issues = $34.95 P.O.
