Health Supreme NewsGrabs - 29 July 2006
I am experimenting with a new type of post on this site.
Every day, I come across a number of interesting news items and stories related to the topics of this site but I cannot report on them all in detail. This is a new kind of post that brings you the links to stories I find interesting, grabbing them as I go. Some of them are only links, others come with a short comment...
Here is the second installment of the - hopefully to be regular - NewsGrabs, your alternative health news service.
