In search of Atlantis
Graham Hancock on his way to Atlantis. The British author is seeking -- and finding? -- proof of the myth that is handed down in many cultures: there was once a 'super culture' that may well have equalled that of modern man. Hancock's quest shines a different light on the gradual progress of humans throughout history. 'We think we are the pinnacle of civilisation and we simply cannot imagine that a superior culture existed before us.'
Tijn Touber

EM-X, the magic potion
A unique mixture of bacteria and yeasts forms the basis for a natural medicine with remarkable healing properties. EM-X is a Japanese concept with an exceptionally powerful anti-oxidative effect. The medicine is amazingly effective in the treatment of a variety of diseases and can also be taken preventatively. Marco Visscher paid a visit to Japan, this magic potion's country of origin, in order to investigate the promising claims being made, not by enthusiastic amateurs, but by a group of experienced scientists. He talked to people who prescribe the remedy as well as to Teruo Higa, the one-of-a-kind inventor of EM-X. Marco Visscher
