NEWS AND UPDATES FROM WAPF

LIBRARY AND FILING PROJECT: Our library of almost 4000 volumes is now catalogued and on the shelves, with a huge
thanks to Cathy Raymond and Tim Boyd who put in many long hours cataloguing and shelving. For a list of WAPF library
books, visit http://westonaprice.org/wapflibrary/index.html. We are also putting the finishing touches on the filing of ten
file cabinets of notes, papers and clippings, including many interesting and hard-to-find articles on raw milk.

RECORDINGS OF THE RUTGERS RAW MILK SEMINARS: From February 6 through April 7 of this year, Rutgers University
hosted public seminars on raw milk, which featured Mark McAfee, president of Organic Pastures Dairy, David Cox, counsel
for the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, Dr. Mark Gephart of Wright State University, and Donald W. Schaffner,
PhD, food science specialist at Rutgers. A big thank you to Professor Joseph Heckman for organizing these important meet-
ings. Audio recordings of these seminars are now available for a suggested donation of $25 each. To order the recordings,
contact Professor Heckman at heckman@aesop.rutgers.edu.

NEW HOMEOPATHY COLUMN: We are pleased to announce a new series on homeopathy in Wise Traditions, by Joette
Calabrese, a classical homeopathist from Buffalo, New York. Visit her website at homeopathyworks.com. This column is in
keeping with the part of our mission statement that refers to “nurturing therapies.” As homeopathy was one of the nontoxic,
noninvasive medical paradigms that developed as a reaction to mercury-based “heroic” medicine, it is particularly fitting
that we begin the column in this issue.
