Herceptin hype: Big Pharma's new "miracle cure" for breast cancer is inferior to free, natural cures Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I find that laughable, because when you look at the natural medicine world and natural healing, you find that a combination of natural sunlight, physical exercise, green tea, mineral supplementation, colon cleansing and avoidance of cancer-causing foods causes cancer rates to plummet far beyond 0.6 percent. In the world of natural medicine, we have natural strategies that are far safer and effective than the most miraculous cancer drug the pharmaceutical industry has ever come up with.

Nature's Path wins Health Ranger's Best of Show Award for natural Products Expo West 2007 Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

REPPED: Nature's Path has been awarded the "Best natural Cereal Company" by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, following the natural Products Expo West 2007 trade show in Anaheim, California. What follows is a brief review of the company: Over many years, this natural product cereal company has proven itself an outstanding formulator of truly healthy, innovative cereals and food products. This year, they introduced a new product called Smart Bran with Psyllium and Oatbran that is simply remarkable: it offers great texture, a pleasing taste, low effective carbohydrates and whole-grain nutrition.

Don't be fooled by "all natural" claims on foods and grocery products Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

And yet frying starches at high temperatures isn't natural at all -- it's a human-invented process for making boring foods like potatoes taste interesting by loading them up with fat and salt. The salt used in such foods isn't natural either. It's almost entirely processed salt, and even the products that claim to be made from "sea salt" are actually using a white, processed sea salt (not a full-spectrum brown or pink salt like you might find with Celtic Sea Salt, which is truly natural).

Sure it was, but then it was physically and chemically modified, adulterated, contaminated and altered in ways that destroy its natural properties. The final product has no resemblance to anything truly natural. In the food industry today, there's no official definition of "all natural." It means whatever the food companies want it to mean. It can mean, for example, that all the chemicals found in the product simply aren't listed on the label. (There's no requirement for food companies to list chemical contaminants found in their foods.

NewsTarget Emerging as Key Gateway Between Health Product Companies and natural Health Consumers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Over the last four years, we've selectively publicized over a hundred natural health products, and we've done so with absolutely no financial involvement in those products. Our most recent publicity of the FruitFast company (see http://www.newstarget.com/022233.html ) and its generous offer to ship a 30-day supply of CherryFlex supplements to every NewsTarget reader resulted in many thousands of requests for the product.

Behind the scenes at natural Products Expo West - A "brutally honest" Health Ranger Review Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

REPPED: The natural Products Expo West trade show was held last weekend in Anaheim, California. I spent the show cruising the floor, interviewing vendors, sampling products and digging up new information to pass along to NewsTarget readers. (By the way, thanks to all the people who said hi to me at the show! It was nice to meet some NewsTarget readers in person.) If you read the mainstream media, everybody's happy, happy, happy about the show and the industry as a whole, but if you go there yourself and ask questions as an independent, skeptical journalist, you get the rest of the story.

NewsTarget readers making waves across the natural health, natural living markets (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

After you stop laughing, consider how powerful the natural health movement must be to get a company like Coca-Cola to try adding minerals to a nutritionally worthless beverage like Diet Coke...) The point is, NewsTarget readers are trendsetters. And not just NewsTarget readers, of course. It's also the people who read Ronnie Cummin's work over at the Organic Consumers Association (www.OrganicConsumers.org) or who devour the outstanding research projects at the Environmental Working Group (www.EWG.org). There's excellent work being done at Commercial Alert (www.CommercialAlert.

NewsTarget readers making waves across the natural health, natural living markets (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

And on the positive side, when we recently ran a recommendation of a natural body care product line, the president of that company called me and told me it generated more calls and website traffic than a different article about them in Oprah Magazine! Emerald Balance was overwhelmed with calls and sample requests when we recommended their superfood product, Pillar of Light was flooded with calls following our article on their experimental healing energy machine, and the NewsTarget reader response has hit some companies so hard that they sold out their entire product inventory in six hours!

It's almost entirely processed salt, and even the products that claim to be made from "sea salt" are actually using a white, processed sea salt (not a full-spectrum brown or pink salt like you might find with Celtic Sea Salt, which is truly natural). Grocery product makers are also adding various chemical additives to their "all natural" products, hiding them under innocent-sounding ingredients that don't raise red flags with consumers. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), for example, is a neurotoxic substance classified as an excitotoxin.

Golden Path Alchemy Launches Line of Truly natural Botanical Skin Care Products Containing Zero Chemical Additives Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Mike: What motivated you to create a product line that is purely natural so that you can even eat it? Ashley: Well, a long time ago I started researching and finding out about all the toxic properties, constituents, and most of the products that I use, I did not even realize because I thought they were all natural. Then I threw everything away and I started to make a few of my own simple recipes. But since then, I got involved in flower essences and I became a student in acupuncture school. I was exposed to a lot more Chinese herbs and flower essences that I had never heard of before.

Because I have the distinct honor of writing for an expanding group of readers that has become the most highly regarded audience in the natural health community. That's not mere puffery, either. Let me explain why. Each time I write a review about a particular company or product, I later receive a call from the company that was mentioned. The content of these calls is quite interesting, and it says a lot about the quality and character of NewsTarget readers.

It really is a must-see event for anyone in the industry, and the crowds were even thicker this year, meaning there's an increase in public interest in natural products. So kudos to the New Hope folks who put this together. It's no small feat to make the show work. And now for the rest of the story... Ahh, the fragrant smell of... cigarettes? You would think that a hall full of 45,000 people buying and selling natural health products wouldn't smell like an ash try right outside the front door, but you'd be wrong.
