ASPIRIN AND THE 1918–19 INFLUENZA PANDEMIC
By J. Holcombe, D. Jacobson and T. Ruhl. Millions of deaths in the so-called influenza pandemic of 1918–19 were not caused by a virus but by a massive bacterial infection exacerbated by the widespread high-dose use of a toxic and immune-suppressing drug, aspirin.

CURATIVE POWERS OF OIL-PULLING THERAPY
By Dr Bruce Fife and contributors. A practice derived from Ayurvedic medicine, oil pulling is a therapy which can improve oral hygiene as well as alleviate numerous health complaints including asthma, diabetes, migraine headaches, insomnia, sinusitis and skin conditions.

CYPRUS TEMPLATE: BANK DEPOSITS AT RISK
By Karen Mutton. The “bail-in” regulations which can be enacted in the event of bank insolvencies will have dire consequences for many depositors, as has already happened in Cyprus. Deposit insurance schemes are so underfunded that they could never compensate all unsecured creditors in the event of a bank crash.

THE PROMISE OF ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY
By Brendan D. Murphy. Energy psychology modalities offer a way of stimulating the subtle energy fields and overcoming problems including post-traumatic stress, allergies, phobias, self-limiting beliefs and anxieties with more success and in less time than allopathic methods.

SCIENCE NEWS
We feature an extract from a paper by a team of scientists who tested the E-Cat HT devices developed by Italian inventor and entrepreneur Andrea Rossi. Their experiments showed energy production in higher quantities than can be gained from conventional sources.

AIRSHIP HYSTERIA IN MID-1890s AMERICA
By Steven A. Arts. In 1896–97, mysterious airships were reported by countless eyewitnesses in cities and towns from California to the Midwest and on to the East Coast of the USA. There were even stories of airship crashes, alien beings and a kidnapped calf.

ENIGMAS OF SOUTH AMERICA’S DESERTS
By Frank Joseph. Huge geoglyphs in the high deserts of Chile and Peru continue to baffle archaeologists, but some of these glyphs seem to have ironic associations with tiny creatures as well as links with sacred numerals.

THE TWILIGHT ZONE
This issue we cover archival stories on sea-serpents and a pterodactyl, news of giant bones and ancient artefacts unearthed in Iraq, and a report on preserved blood and DNA obtained from a 10,000-year-old woolly mammoth.
