UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL: The monthly comment from CTM founder, Phillip Day.

WHAT IF BRITAIN HADN'T JOINED? Christopher Booker imagines how Britain would look today if she hadn't joined the European Union. Would we be better or worse off ?
LOST IN THE POST: The government was accused today of covering up the true reason why thousands of British post offices have been, or will be, closed. In spite of all their explanations, they have not revealed the true reason behind the closures.

CONFUSED ABOUT ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE? Robert Verkerk discusses the mixed signals coming from the media and so-called 'experts' regarding complementary medicine, supplements, nutrition etc.
HOW SCIENTIFIC ARE ORTHODOX CANCER TREATMENTS? A chilling and informative treatise revealing the hard facts about the alleged benefits of conventional cancer treatments, backed up with long-term studies.
HEALING POWER OF NUTRITION:Don't look now but doctors are still failing to recognize the healing power of foods, nutrition and supplements.
CTM REVIEWS ALLICIN, THE HEART OF GARLIC: Now the flu season's here (after Christmas got us breathing over one another with no hope of escape), Peter Josling's excellent book shows how to harness the 'engine' of garlic, allicin, and combat and even reverse a wide range of ailments caused by bacterial, viral and fungal infections.

BREAD AND KIDNEY CANCER: A study of more than 2,300 Italians shows that high bread consumption significantly increases the risk of renal cell carcinoma, the most common kidney cancer. Pasta and rice may also raise the risk, but eating vegetables could lower it.
FISH OIL BOOSTS BABY'S BRAINPOWER: An Australian study published in Archives of Disease in Childhood found that women who take high doses of fish oil supplements in the second half of pregnancy give birth to children with greater coordination and increased brainpower later in life.
EYE CONDITION LINKED TO DIET: Macular degeneration is the most common cause of blindness in Australia but research suggests avoiding vegetable oils could prevent the condition.
ROOT CANALS POSE HEALTH THREAT: Dr George Meinig brings an interesting perspective to the latent dangers of root canal therapy. Can seemingly fine, root-filled teeth cause arthritis, hearing problems and other degenerative conditions?
CHURCH MAKES LANDMARK RULING OVER PHONE MAST PLANS: Yet another aspect of mobile phone masts siting. The easy online access brings with it the fears that pornography could be distributed via the network.
CONCERN OVER OIL FIRM'S AID LINKS WITH BILL GATES: The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is investing in companies that could be causing ailments in the very people it helps to treat in the developing world, according to an investigation by the Los Angeles Times.
THE PINK THE WHITE AND THE BLUE: It's whiter than heroin, sweeter than your fiancée, more soluble than the National Debt, and more pernicious than nicotine because, like a true demon, this little beauty comes in a million disguises and dresses like a friend.
THE WEEKLY HEALTH TIP, START COMPLAINING: Complain when something isn't right. A few decades ago, they would never have got away with it. Today, with good service and fairmindedness out of the window, they make an art out of getting away with it.
MAILBAG: This month's collection of letters from our new subscribers about these and other issues.
