The Aluminium files – A Dirty little secret
Books for conscious living Foreign rights Bert Ehgartner Dirty little secret – Die Akte Alumminium The Aluminium files – A Dirty little secret ISBN 978-3-85068-894-9 size: 13.5 x 21 cm, 294 pages, hardcover published in October 2012 2nd edition in January 2013 We live in the Aluminium Age. However, aluminium also has a dark, disturbing side, which will be studied for the first time in great detail in this book. One hundred years ago hardly anyone knew the first thing about this metal commonly found in the earth's crust. Today Aluminium is ubiquitous. It would nowadays be unthinkable to have to make do without it in our daily lives. Aluminium is especially popular in the cosmetics industry: it helps to prevent sunscreen from congealing and facilitates its even distribution on the skin. In deodorants, it reacts with the cells of the skin and changes them so much that they can’t produce sweat anymore. Medicines for heartburn often contain a high proportion of aluminium. Aluminium is included in two-thirds of all vaccines as an active amplifier. On the other hand, water companies use aluminium compounds to eradicate impurities and then supply our households with drinking water, which inevitably still contains traces of the metal. However the findings of science bear thorough witness against the heedless use of aluminium in these most sensitive domains of life. Biologists have known for a long time that aluminium stunts plants’ growth by destroying their roots. Doctors working in most areas of health know about the neurotoxic properties of most aluminium compounds: in fact, it can be fatal to a developing nervous system. Aluminium is one of the most acute toxins for fish, and even the lowest concentrations in water are lethal. The author: Bert Ehgartner, born in 1962, is a documentary filmmaker and the author of numerous non-fiction books: most recently: "Lob der Krankheit" (In Praise of Illness) 2008, and "Gesund bis der Arzt kommt" (Healthy until the Doctor Arrives) 2010, both published by Lübbe. This autumn, a film will also be released to coincide with the book’s publication, both in a TV version (to be shown on ORF, ZDF and ARTE), and in a 90 minutes long international cinema version, which is being broadcast on ZDF (Germany), ORF (Austria), and in 2013 is following English and French television.

After some disappointing and painful experiences at the hands of orthodox everyday medical practice, she instead posed herself the question "What must I do to ensure that the cancer does not return" and undertook extensive research in the field of complementary and alternative medicine with her husband, a physician. She also investigated for herself various other healing approaches. The personal discovery that cancer requires a well thought out strategy at every level of human existence required the author literally to turn her life upside down. This is a touching and encouraging first-hand report, at whose centre is not a life-threatening disease but rather the road to recovery. An inspiring book about how to turn an extremely serious life crisis into a very positive and rewarding experience. The author.

It is no longer acceptable to point the finger and blame others for war and conflict, hatred and fear, and ultimately the collapse of our society. We are all responsible. We have to choose now to live, either from the old laws of revenge, and retaliation, or be willing to embrace radical evolutionary thought. Only in this way can we hope to transform and be a part of a new Halleluja - one that does not dishonour the sacred laws of life itself. With her radical philosophy and healing words, Phyllida Anam-Aire challenges us to take on board who we really are: nothing less than the embodiment of divine consciousness. The essence of her message is as simple as it is profound: The true reality is love.
