THE GOD HYPOTHESIS: Extraterrestrial Life and Its Implications for Science and Religion by Joe Lewels, Ph.D. Publisher: Wild Flower Press, USA, 1997 ISBN 0-9226524-40-2 (295pp s/c) Price: AUD$38.00; STG£n/a; USD$18.95 + USD$3.50 p&h Available: Aust—Cameron Books, ph (047) 58 7676; Sydney Esoteric B/shop, ph (02) 9212 2225; UK—Counterculture, ph 01823 698895; Wind Rush, ph 0608 652012; USA—Wild Flower Press, ph (704) 894 8444, 1-800 366 0264. A few years ago, author Joe Lewels, a journalism Ph.D. and media professor at the University of Texas, El Paso, made a signifi- cant career move when he applied his skills on a freelance basis in pursuit of an abiding curiosity: the UFO mystery. He had held a private fascination for the subject since his first aerial sighting over Alabama in 1968, so he resolved to come to grips with it. Dr Lewels' research revealed a much wider context to the UFO phenomenon than he'd hitherto imagined. His book, The God Hypothesis, is a synthesis of the best of the available literature as well as his own find- ings.

Keith Courtenay was con- vinced enough by this data to start treating imself and experimenting until he found the most effective formula. Inspired by his subsequent dramatic improvement in health, and that of others who have used colloidal silver to treat a variety of conditions, Keith decided to write Colloidal Silver: The Hidden Truths. Interwoven with his own story is material drawn from recent published articles plus selected medical papers, some going back nearly a century, covering colloidal silver's proven efficacy in medical practice.
