Cancer: Cause and Cure, by Percy Weston
Here's a book you won't want to put down. The story is charged with human interest and drama from beginning to end, as keen-eyed farmer Percy Weston recounts his experiences and observations over a lifetime of struggle on the land and draws the reader into an intriguing detective story that spans the years of transition from traditional methods of farming to modern ones. Informed by an expert knowledge of chemistry, he believes there is a causative factor for cancer via the food chain which science has totally overlooked. He proved it first in animals in the 1940s and then in humans by curing medically diagnosed cases of cancer and arthritis which he realised had the same origin. These were miracle cures as far as doctors were concerned. How did he do it? Here is the enthralling story of one man's unique journey of discovery.

Australia today is facing a health crisis such as we have never seen before. Rates of asthma, cancer, obesity ADHD and behavioural disorders in children are all alarmingly high. What is happening and what can we do to safeguard our own health and the health of our children? Our diets must be part of the problem and fixing our diets must be a large part of the solution.
The use of food additives in our everyday foods has increased so rapidly over the past 50 years that is getting increasingly difficult to find foods which are additive free. What is most concerning is the fact that there are many food additives used in our foods which are known to be harmful. Many are known to be bad for children and asthmatics, many are not recommended during pregnancy and some additives are banned overseas and yet still permitted for use in Australian foods. Additive Alertwill tell you quickly and easily which ones you need to avoid, and why.

A Look Over the Edge
By Jeanie Crago
Book Review by Mark Hooper, Esperance Express
 "A Look Over the Edge", by Jeanie CragoAn education of sorts in the backblocks, Book Review - by Mark Hooper, Esperence Express
After a childhood and adolescence of bush life and venturing around the backblocks of WA, Jeanie Barrett came to a surprising conclusion at 'Dead Finish' one day. "What I hated most was being dirty - must have got too soft living in Perth," she writes in her entertaining autobiography, A Look Over the Edge. Dead Finish was a gold prospecting site in the middle of Western Australia, which, in her early 20's, in the early 1980's, dominated her life. "The trucks tipped dirt into the hopper. If the wind was going my way, thick red dust clouded over me. By the end of the day I felt like a mud pie." Now Jeanie Crago with four of her own children and still living near 'mud pie' country, at Coorow, has finally got around to writing a book, and with good reason. "From 11 years old it had been one of my ambitions to write a book," she said. "My first inspiration to do it came when I read a book called 'Hear the Train Blow' by Patsy Adam Smith. "The desire was rekindled after my time at Dead Finish. I boldly told my Uncle Neville Beeck, who did not let me off lightly but kept reminding me year after year." Her father, Les was the patriach of a clearly tough family which endured inconveniences others would call hardships. "Isolation at Dead Finish was a fact," she writes. It was considered unforgiving country, 150km from Tom Price, 130km from Paraburdoo, a million kilometres from 'civilisation'. The period of gold mining followed years of station work and bare living conditions for the family, living in caravans and shacks. They were at Frankland, Derby, Oakover, Leopold, Yeeda and Karalundi. There was hay carting, fencing, goat mustering (a nice little earner) before the Dead Finish venture which featured proverbial toil and sweat and endless breakdowns or wrong parts for the mining equipment. Jeanie saw her father's rough and smooth sides. After eating some biscuits destined for a shearing team one day, the young Jeanie received an 'outstanding belting.' But another time, on her way home on the school bus on a sweltering day, the bus driver presented her with a cold can of Fanta, which Les had dropped off for her during a break from his back-breaking work. And there was trauma, Jeanie's brother Tom died of cystic fibrosis, aged 13, in 1978. "Dad cried most of the way from Karalundi to Meekatharra for the funeral," she wrote in a moving chapter, but not one of self pity as they took great joy in Tom's life. "He had such personality and will to live, he just had to stand out in the book too," she said. The book is laced with entertaining illustrations by Corrigin artist, Brett Connelly.
