Tips, Links and Tidbits Newsletter because Wednesday 25th September 2013 G’day, Jorrod’s Marathon Finish
Our son Jarrod ran his first marathon Sunday. He did very well (134th, 3 hours 6 minutes) and pulled up tired but not in bad shape as were many of those around him.

Dishwashing Detergents - From Dr Anita PepiThere is a film that remains on your dishes that finds its way into your body. I have seen patients get very ill from poorly rinsed, toxic dishwasher solvents. As most dishwasher detergents have toxins and dyes in them that can increase your cancer risk, who needs them?! A healthier alternative is 1 - 2 teaspoons of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda, which kills some germs and is the least toxic dishwasher detergent you will find. Do not use more than 2 tsp, as the dishes tend to spot. To reduce germs further and avoid spotting, dissolve the baking soda with 3% hydrogen peroxide in your dish detergent tray. Simple and inexpensive! |

’Unlawful Killing’: Sydney festival screens suppressed film exposing Royal stonewalling of Princess Diana murder investigationUnlawful Killing, the 2011 Keith Allen film that the British Crown establishment has suppressed worldwide for more than two years, surfaced and was screened at the Sydney Underground Film Festival on 7-8 September.
