 Health Freedom Warning: Drug Company Seeks to Outlaw Vitamin B6 to Protect Pharma ProfitsBy Mike Adams, June 25 2008
(NaturalNews) Big Pharma is constantly finding new ways to destroy the natural supplements market, in much the same way that the American Medical Association once sought to destroy the chiropractic industry (for which it was later found guilty of conspiracy in U.S. courts, by the way). The latest attack against vitamins comes from an FDA petition filed by Medicure Pharma, Inc., which has astonishingly asked the FDA to ban the sale of Vitamin B6!
Vitamin B6, of course, is a naturally-occurring...

 Offices With Live Plants Make Employees Happier and Healthier By Sherry Baker, June 25 2008
(NaturalNews) According to the American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS), Americans who work in offices spend about 52 hours a week at their desks or in their cubicles.

 Forget the Headlines - Keep Taking Your Vitamins and MineralsBy Tony Isaacs, June 25 2008
(NaturalNews) A "new" study condemning the use of vitamins and classifying them as ineffective and potentially dangerous is generating headlines throughout the mainstream media in the United States and Europe.

The "study" was led by Serbian scientist and "visiting researcher" at Copenhagen University Hospital, Goran Bjelakovic, whose name is now synonymous with vitamin meta-analyses (studies...

 Natural Remedies for Poison Ivy and Poison OakBy Tony Isaacs, June 25 2008
(NaturalNews) Spring has sprung and summer seems to be barreling along too -- at least here in the south Texas hill country I call home these days.

 Gitmo For U.S. Children: Center for Retarded Kids Uses Electroshock TherapyBy Mike Adams, June 23 2008
(NaturalNews) It appears that the use of electroshock punishment tactics isn't limited to the U.S. military these days: The state of Massachusetts has renewed a special education school's authority to use electric shocks as a form of punishment, even after the school admitted to administering excessive and unfair shocks to two children after being told to do so by a prank caller.
Last year, a prank caller believed to be a former student called the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center in Canton,...
 Blood Transfusions Increase Risk of Heart Attack and DeathBy Barbara L. Minton, June 23 2008
(NaturalNews) Blood transfusions increase the risk of complications and reduce survival rates. Recent research is revealing that almost immediately after it is donated, blood begins to loose its ability to transfer oxygen from the red cells into the tissues of the patient. When patients receive stored blood, their chances of heart attack, heart failure, stroke and death increase in proportion to the length of time the blood has been stored.
Nitric oxide in red blood cells is critical to the delivery...

 DNA: Toppling the Evolutionary 'Tree of Life'By Rich Stacel, June 22 2008

The authors do an admirable job of summarizing all this effort in a very simple manner...

 Do Pharmaceuticals Make You Healthy? Health Ranger Announces $10,000 Health Challenge to Big PharmaBy Mike Adams, June 20 2008
(NaturalNews) It is the position of Big Pharma that pharmaceuticals make people healthier. That's the whole point of taking them, of course -- to enhance your health in some way that the human body apparently cannot achieve on its own (if you believe the drug ads, anyway). The drug industry's direct-to-consumer advertisements further imply this cause / effect relationship between pharmaceuticals and health by portraying drug consumers to be happy, healthy and fit. Taking medications, these ads imply...

 Solutions to the Global Food CrisisBy Mark Sircus Ac., OMD, June 20 2008
(NaturalNews) Today we actually have several converging crisis and the news sounds bad but have you noticed how they manage to package everything in the media? Things are worsening on almost every front yet they manage to put a good face on events. Items that would have been crushing news only six months ago today are considered small annoyances. The downside is always minimized -- the deception most complete. Manipulation is a fine and powerful art and by its nature serves the dark powers on earth...
 Western Medicine Fails Tim RussertBy Byron Richards, June 19 2008
(NaturalNews) The shocking death of Tim Russert last Friday has left an entire nation wondering what happened. He was a model patient, doing everything his doctors asked. All major media have run articles trying to explain the nuances and difficulties in treating coronary artery disease. These articles find little fault in Russert's care, trying to create the idea that his heart attack was just too hard to predict and that all that could have been done for him was done. I beg to differ. His...
