The Hand to Heart Project Benefit Concert

Please share this information with everyone you think might be interested in supporting this local non-profit offering critical services in the Upper Valley:

The Hand to Heart Project, the Upper Valley nonprofit that provides massage and compassionate touch to people with advanced cancer, will stage a benefit concert this fall to help raise money for the services it provides.

Two outstanding performers will be on stage: Zuleikha is a storydancer from New Mexico who weaves many styles of dance with stories from around the world.  She works internationally as both performer and teacher.  And Eugene Friesen is a Grammy Award-winning cellist from Vermont who has been playing with the Paul Winter Consort, Trio Globo and other groups for years.  He is a master of improvisation, a truly wonderful artist. He is on the faculty of the Berklee School of Music in Boston, and is an artist-in-residence at the Cathedral or St. John the Divine in NYC.

The show is Saturday, November 14, at Flickinger Arts Center in Meriden, N.H., on the campus of Kimball Union Academy.  Tickets are $30.  For information about Hand to Heart or to order tickets, contact Steve Gordon at (603) 542-8367, or visit their Web site, www.handtoheartproject.org

An Unforunate but Important Note About Vaccines

This is a gem straight from the CDC website about vaccine additives - http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/additives.htm- "All routinely recommended pediatric vaccines manufactured for the U.S. market contain no thimerosal or only trace amounts."

Really-- how can they say contains NO thimerosal and then say "or only trace amounts"? As if like the slurring of words at the end of a sentence they are hoping no one will hear.... no mercury... or only trace amounts...shhhh, be wary wary quiet....and maybe no one will notice...

This from a School Nurse on the west coast: "There are nine different types of H1N1 vaccines, three of them are made with Thimerasol. Six are Thimerasol "free", or are they? My question is if they can make the vaccine without it why make ANY that have Thimerasol in it?"

Good question, especially when you are talking about Thimerasol, a mercury based preservative.

Please see the Guide blog post regarding mercury in vaccines - http://alternativehealthguides.blogspot.com/2007/10/more-headlines-vaccine-preservative.html

And if you are choosing do get the H1N1 vaccine, ask for Thimerasol-free.
