Welcome to the NaturalNews Network. I'm Mike Adams, the editor. Although this network of websites has experienced remarkable growth in the last year, it isn't for everyone.

Only about five percent of the general population is ready to see, hear and learn the information being offered here.

Only you can decide if you're part of that five percent. No one else can decide for you.

I already know some fascinating things about you, by the way, simply by you finding your way to this website either on your own or through a friend's recommendation:

  • You're an avid reader on the internet, and you likely visit several different blogs or independent information sites on a regular basis.
  • You get more information online than from television.
  • You appreciate variety and diversity (of ideas, culture, nationality, religion, and so on) rather than thinking everyone in the world must conform to your own politics, religion or beliefs.
  • You are not easily influenced by advertising or propaganda, and you think for yourself rather than defaulting to whatever everybody else is doing.
  • In school, you academically outsmarted the average student (and many teachers, too). If you attended a public school, you found it to be boring, which motivated you to find other forms of intellectual simulation, some of which later led to your hobbies or career skills.
  • You're very selective about the friends you keep, and you were probably never at the top of the "popular" crowd, choosing instead to relate to people who are more stimulating.
  • You believe that intention, not luck, determines the results you get, and that playing the lottery or gambling is a waste of time.
  • You believe in fairness and in treating people with kindness and consideration (rather than exploiting them for your own personal gain). You have donated some amount of time or money to more than one good cause.
  • You don't trust the politicians running your country.
  • You believe there is more to reality than the physical matter we can touch and see.
  • More than most, you consider the future consequences of today's decisions. Where others only notice what's right in front of them, you tend to see the big picture and you take care to make decisions today that improve your future.
  • You are creative in a meaningful way, and you express your own unique creativity in your job, hobbies or relationships.

How do I know these things about you? It's simple: Because these things are true for us, too! Here at the NaturalNews Network, our staff and our readers share these traits, and we all tend to attract others who have similar traits. We call ourselves the "Forward Five" because we have a common desire to see things more forward in a positive, constructive way.

We also share some common beliefs that are not generally followed by the 95 percent who don't read NaturalNews...

What we believe as the "Forward Five"

  • That you have the right to know about information that can enhance your health, life and happiness. (Many people in positions of power today believe you should not have the right to know, and that all information should be centrally reviewed, approved and distributed to the public through mainstream news channels, "official" announcements, and so on.)
  • That you have the right to decide what kind of health therapies you wish to pursue (Eastern, Western, conventional, alternative, experimental, etc.). This is, in part, based on our common belief in free will and the idea that we should all have freedom of choice in areas like health. Today, parents are being arrested and their children are being kidnapped by health authorities when they refuse Western treatments for cancer. (See articles on Abraham Cherrix.)
  • That there are things commercial interests don't want you to know. The FDA routinely practices censorship to protect the financial interests of drug companies, for example. Because common knowledge of simple, non-patentable remedies would put Big Pharma out of business. (Sunlight prevents breast cancer, for example. Sea salt prevents arthritis. Blueberries lower cholesterol. Pomegranates and zinc prevent prostate cancer. Etc.)
  • That mainstream sources of information and news are heavily influenced by commercial interests or political agendas that inevitably alter the integrity of their information. Thus, "alternative" information sources such as blogs and indy news sites can often provide more trustworthy, independent information on topics that matter.
  • That free speech on the internet is a precious and powerful tool, enabling the sharing of ideas and information in a way that is as important as the invention of the printing press. (Some authority figures believe the internet is "dangerous" and that all information should be centrally regulated and controlled. The FDA, for example, once attempted to ban all health discussions on the internet.)
