The Jupiter Delphi water ioniser is the most well designed and effective ioniser available on the market. The Delphi sits neatly under the sink, while you have full control over your water quality via a touch of the tap mounted controls. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the future of drinking water dispensers – no home will want to be without one! Designed as an under sink unit, it has two components: a state of the art under sink ionising unit and an elegantly designed sink top tap. This leaves your counter top clear for other useful kitchen equipment!
The Delphi uses new ‘mesh’ electrodes which effectively increases surface area and ionising power without the large voltages required to run larger plates. This technological advancement increases efficiency while protecting the electrode life. The plates are electro-plated platinum titanium, providing the highest level of conductivity and durability. The cutting edge design and proven durability of electro-plated platinum plating ensures you get the best ORP alteration and ioniser durability, year in, year out.
The Delphi is the only ioniser on the market with a digital display to show exactly what you are drinking and comes with a six year warranty. Available to order now!

The UK’s first fully residential living foods centre will open on Saturday 7th November at Hinton House, Kings Worthy, near Winchester. The centre is housed in a 19th Century mansion and the event will be free admission. There will be lectures and raw food demonstrations taking place throughout the day. Wheatgrass, green juices & raw living lunch will also be available.
The event runs between 10.30am – 5pm or come along for the whole day. There’s no need to book, just turn up!
Directions to Hinton House: Take Junction 9 off the M3 and take the exit to the A34/A33. Stay in the right hand lane towards Basingstoke. Ignore the first turning on the left towards Kings Worthy, very shortly after this is a track on the left sign posted Hinton House Drive (if you reach Lovedon Lane on the left you have gone past the track already). Hinton House is the first building on the left hand side at the end of this track.
The centre is the brainchild of Rian from Health Etcetera, who was disheartened that people were not getting the raw food message. “Even those who listened and expressed an interest found it remote that they could embark on such a craze on their own. So I decided that the best and only way to really prove it was to demonstrate it by literally having people round so I could really help them.”
“I was fortunate enough to have the most amazing building at my disposal and it kind of followed to turn it into a raw residential centre. Then I looked around and I realised that 1) to my surprise, there isn’t anything like this in the UK, a place when one can turn up and experience a raw living food life style and 2) everything connected with this world is prohibited in price. That’s it! I will have a place where anyone can stay, get fed, get pampered and be taught at the same time.”
The centre will offer exercise, meditation, lectures, practical food demonstrations, manual activities, inner reflection, Reiki and possibly a colonic or a massage. The cost of a place at the centre during October & November will be £400 per week for a shared room.

A teenage girl has died shortly after receiving the HPV vaccination at her school. 14 year old Natalie Morton from Coventry was given the injection yesterday and later died in hospital. Her school have issued a letter to parents stating that Natalie died from a ‘rare but extreme reaction’ after having the vaccination, although her official cause of death has not been confirmed.
Three other girls from the same school complained of possible side effects after being vaccinated with Cervarix however none were hospitalised.
Although the teenager’s death has not been officially linked to the HPV jab, NHS Coventry has quarantined the batch of Cervarix being used as a precautionary measure. The UK is the only country who has chosen to use Cervarix, rather than the US-favoured Gardasil. Cervarix is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline UK.
Dr Caron Grainger, joint director for public health for NHS Coventry and Coventry city council, said: “Our sympathies are with the girl’s family and friends at this difficult time. The incident happened shortly after the girl had received her HPV vaccine in the school. No link can be made between the death and the vaccine until all the facts are known and a postmortem takes place. We are conducting an urgent and full investigation into the events surrounding this tragedy.”
Dr Pim Kon, medical director at GlaxoSmithKline UK offered the company’s deepest sympathies to Natalie’s family and friends. She said: “We are working with the Department of Health and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency to better understand this case, as at this stage the exact cause of this tragic death is unknown.”
In our 2008/2009 issue of Passion, we reported on the safety and possible side effects of the HPV vaccination and featured advice from a variety of sources from the Dept of Health to the Vaccine Awareness Network, through to mothers and homeopaths. To make an informed decision about vaccination, please visit Vaccine Risk Awareness or The Informed Parent in addition to the NHS information sites.
A protest is being held on 3rd October in London to protest the upcoming mandatory swine flu vaccine campaign. The protest takes place on Saturday, 3rd October 2009 at 12 noon, opposite House of Lords, Old Palace Yard, Westminster, London. For more details on the protest please visit the Vaccine Awareness Network.
