 Teen dies from flu after receiving flu shotBy Ethan A. Huff, February 18 2013
(NaturalNews) A second Minnesota teenager has reportedly died from complications of infection with influenza Type A during this current flu season, prompting health officials across the state to urge the public to get flu shots for their own protection. But missing from many of the news reports on this tragedy is the fact that the child in question, 14-year-old Carly Christenson, had already been vaccinated for influenza before flu season even started, proving the utter failure of flu shots to protect...
 How meditation changes brain rhythms to sooth pain and depressionBy Sherry Baker, February 18 2013
(NaturalNews) Meditation isn't only a way to relax or a throw-back to the 1960s when the Beatles first made the practice popular in the U.S. In fact, in recent years, mainstream scientists have published several studies showing that mindfulness meditation, which is centered on being aware of the present moment by focusing on the body and breath sensations, can prevent and treat depression. Meditation has also been found to help chronic pain.
But what's going on in the body to produce these benefits...
 More U.S. states now seek to limit use of dronesBy J. D. Heyes, February 18 2013
(NaturalNews) As drone usage proliferates among federal agencies and the U.S. military, an increasing number of states are fighting back with legislation aimed at limiting or banning outright the use of the unmanned surveillance vehicles in their airspace.
In fact, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, lawmakers in at least 10 states, including California, Oregon, Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, North Dakota, Florida, Virginia, Maine and Oklahoma, are examining ways they can legislatively...
 India passes GMO labeling law, but some worry its provisions were poorly plannedBy Ethan A. Huff, February 18 2013
(NaturalNews) The world's second most populous country, India, has finally given some teeth to an earlier draft ruling from 2006 that mandates the labeling of all foods that contain genetically-modified organisms (GMOs). And while the move represents yet another positive step towards full food transparency, details about how the new requirements will be implemented and enforced are still lacking, say some, which raises a number of important questions about how to approach future grassroots GMO labeling...
 Amish children are remarkably immune to allergies, says expertBy Michael Ravensthorpe, February 10 2013
(NaturalNews) The Amish, it seems, place themselves at risk every day of their lives. They refuse to vaccinate their children, exposing themselves to disease. They drink raw cow's milk, exposing themselves to salmonella. They even - and this is really disturbing - favor natural food, exposing themselves to tomatoes that contain cracks. Given these eccentric practices, isn't it inevitable that their communities become breeding grounds for allergies and asthma? Not according to Dr. Mark Holbreich,...
 Dietary secrets for autistic childrenBy Jonathan Benson, February 18 2013
(NaturalNews) If you are the parent or guardian of a child with autism, then you already know how difficult it can be to deal with all the erratic outbursts, chronic speech impediments, learning deficiencies, and other behavioral and cognitive abnormalities that so often characterize the condition. But the good news is that a life of treating these symptoms with behavioral therapies and pharmaceutical drugs is not your only option, as certain dietary and lifestyle changes have the potential to greatly...
 Facebook blocks Jon Rappoport's articlesBy Jon Rappoport, February 18 2013
(NaturalNews) I became aware of the block and censorship a few days ago, soon after I wrote and published the article: "Ruthless State of the Union: current crime boss speaks."
http://jonrappoport.wordpress.com
That article was about Obama, and it was also about every president as far back as Nixon. It mainly described the absurdities implied by Obama's vague notion that "we all have to work together."
Readers began letting me know they couldn't Facebook-share my articles. This became: no...
 Obese moms-to-be show abnormal brain activity in developing fetusesBy Antonia, February 18 2013
(NaturalNews) A recent study, presented on February 15, involving 16 pregnant women, divided evenly between obese and lean subjects, conducted at the Mother Infant Research Institute (MIRI) at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, "found that fetuses of obese women had differences in gene expression as early as the second trimester."
Apoptosis, a normal development process that fetuses go through involving programmed cell death, were found to be lowered during the gestation period of the obese women...
 Fourth Amendment protester may win wrongful detainment lawsuit against fedsBy J. D. Heyes, February 18 2013
(NaturalNews) A man who used a marker to write an abbreviated version of the Fourth Amendment on his chest and abdomen, then stripped to his skivvies at an airport security screening area, won't be jailed for the incident. In fact, he may even receive hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Aaron Tobey of Virginia claimed in a federal civil rights lawsuit he was handcuffed and held for an hour and a half by Transportation Security Administration officers in 2010 at the Richmond International Airport...
 Preventive natural medicine can curb spiraling medical costs - here's howBy Jonathan Benson, February 18 2013
(NaturalNews) The prevailing healthcare model in America today, although slowly evolving, is still focused primarily on treating people after they become ill rather than on preventing them from becoming ill in the first place through nutrition and lifestyle. And a major consequence of this failed approach has been a rapid increase in healthcare costs over the years, so much so that the entire system seems poised to collapse in on itself in the very near future if a new model is not soon adopted.

 Parenting 101: Favoring one child gives them all mental health problemsBy David Gutierrez, February 18 2013
(NaturalNews) When parents play favorites among their children, it's not just the less-favored child who develops mental health problems, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Toronto, McMaster University, the University of Rochester and published in the journal Child Development. Instead, the entire family's mental health is affected.
"This was really surprising," lead author Jenny Jenkins said. "We expected differential parenting to operate stronger within the...
 General Mills pulls Cheerios 'app' following groundswell of GMO oppositionBy Ethan A. Huff, February 18 2013
(NaturalNews) A social media marketing experiment recently launched by food giant General Mills went down in flames less than one day after it was created following a groundswell of opposition to the company's hidden use of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs). According to Activist Post, a Facebook "app" created by General Mills that allowed members of the public to generate their own messages about the company's Cheerios breakfast cereal product was pulled after countless individuals swarmed the...
 Mexican government forces sterilization on nine-year-old motherBy Jonathan Benson, February 17 2013
(NaturalNews) A bizarre series of events that took place in the western Jalisco state of Mexico has led to the forced sterilization of a young girl who recently gave birth to her first, and now only, child. According to the U.K.'s Daily Mail, nine-year-old Dafne, whose last name has been withheld to protect her identity, was only eight years old when she got pregnant with Maria de Los Angeles, who was recently delivered at Zoquipan Hospital in Guadalajara, which prompted authorities to sterilize...
 CNN's Anderson Cooper caught faking interview in front of blue screen backgroundBy J. D. Heyes, February 17 2013
(NaturalNews) The one thing about technology is that it can come back to bite you at some point. For CNN, that has happened on more than one occasion.
The network became famous for its supposedly live broadcasts during the first Gulf War in 1991, when it sent its journalists - supposedly - to the front lines to cover the drama as it unfolded. In this broadcast, for instance, it appears as though then CNN correspondent Charles Jaco and another reporter, Charles Rochelle, were caught in a potential...
 IV vitamin C doubles survival time of pancreatic cancer patients in new clinical trialBy Ethan Evers, February 17 2013
(NaturalNews) A small Phase I clinical trial in the U.S. has just shown that adding IV (intravenous) vitamin C to a common chemo drug for pancreatic cancer extended patients' average survival time to 12 months, compared to historical survival times of 5.65 months for such patients. More remarkable is that three of the patients were still alive at the end of the trial (two at 15 months, one at 29 months survival time) which means overall survival could further increase.
Phase I trial to test IV...
 Watch for online dating scammers, study warnsBy David Gutierrez, February 17 2013
(NaturalNews) International criminal organizations are increasingly targeting online dating websites in scams that can financially and emotionally devastate their victims, warns a study by researchers from the University of Leicester and the University of Westminster.
"Professionals need to understand the awful details of this crime," researcher Monica Whitty said. "In romance scams, people have to deal not just with losing thousands of pounds. They have to deal with the psychological trauma of...
 America's financial downfall: Citizens now desperately raiding 401(k) plans to pay bills long before retirementBy J. D. Heyes, February 17 2013
(NaturalNews) Is chronic, slow economic growth and rising poverty the new normal for America and Americans? Unfortunately, for an increasing number of people, the answer is yes.
According to recent reports, a large and growing portion of American workers who are having trouble making ends meet because of rising costs are being forced to raid their retirement accounts for non-retirement needs, "raising broad questions about the effectiveness of one of the most important savings vehicles for old...
 Health benefits of Bromelain: An anti-inflammatory enzymeBy Sandeep Godiyal, February 17 2013
(NaturalNews) Bromelain is a kind of proteolytic enzyme that is obtained from pineapple. It has admirable qualities including improving protein digestion, reducing inflammation and treating indigestion. Pineapple itself has been traditionally used to enhance digestion as well as ease inflammation. With countless studies about Bromelain, the benefits of this anti-inflammatory enzyme are ever increasing and even more recognized now.
How does Bromelain work?Because it is considered a proteolytic...
 15 signs YOU are one of the sleeping masses, from a mind-body-spirit perspectiveBy Mike Bundrant, February 17 2013
(NaturalNews) The way to know that you are physically awake is to verify that you are not sleeping. Look around. Ask yourself if you are awake. Pinch yourself. This does the trick, unless you want to push the philosophical issue beyond the practical.
Knowing whether or not you are psychologically awake is more complicated. Psychological sleep is denial, and it is tough to recognize because part of denial is to believe you are not in denial.
Rather than go round and round with yourself about...
 Is the Fed forcing junk food on school children?By Wendy Merrill, February 17 2013
(NaturalNews) A pepperoni pizza? Or maybe southern fried chicken? How about crinkled French fries? A sugary soda pop?
Whatever they may have eaten, kid's choices seem to be mandated by the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), which in turn, is funded by the federal government, but run by the Food and Nutrition Services, reaching out to some 100,000 schools nationally and preparing over 31 million meals annually for school children. And these meals are, depending on personal economics, either...
Can you trust a new brain with an IQ of 7000?By Jon Rappoport, February 17 2013
(NaturalNews) I've been forcing myself to read gushing statements about the march of artificial intelligence (AI) and how, in the near future, we will have "the source code of the brain," and computers will be able to do whatever the brain can do, except much, much faster.
I've been reading about the day when we humans will somehow merge with the machines.
I think the technocrats who promote these notions were raised on comic books, and they haven't really moved on from that phase.

 Helicopter parenting hurts children's mental health, study findsBy David Gutierrez, February 17 2013
(NaturalNews) Helicopter parenting can cause children to experience depression and dissatisfaction with life, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Mary Washington and published in the Journal of Child and Family Studies.
"Helicopter parenting" refers to a highly involved parenting style marked by "hovering" behavior and micro-managing children's social and academic lives. The new study suggests that it damages children's feelings of competence and autonomy, leading...
 Cure chronic inflammation with mindful meditationBy PF Louis, February 17 2013
(NaturalNews) In order to determine how mindful meditation compares to other stress reducing activities, a study was set up to compare the efficacy of meditation to stress reducing exercises for both stress and chronic inflammation.
One group of subjects was trained and placed into the Health Enhancement Program (HEP). This program consisted of nutritional education, physical activities that included balance and agility training, core strengthening, which involves the body's whole trunk area,...

(NaturalNews) Here's a valuable self-test to find out whether you've been hypnotized (and controlled) by the mainstream media and its engineered false reality. After you take this test, watch the stage hypnosis videos I've selected for you, below, and you'll be astonished to learn just how hypnotized most people really are.
Test Question #1) Were the fires that burned up Christopher Dorner set by the LAPD?

 800 more children permanently harmed by vaccinesBy Ethan A. Huff, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) More evidence has emerged showing that the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) vaccine Pandemrix, which was widely administered throughout Europe during the 2009-2010 H1N1 influenza "pandemic," was responsible for causing serious and permanent side effects in many of the children that received it. At least 800 children, it turns out, many of whom live in Sweden, now have narcolepsy because of the vaccine, and some government officials are demanding answers.
As we reported back in March 2012, a...
 Disturbed young men soon able to enter 'the Matrix' and 'plug in' to shooting games with new Oculus VR display deviceBy J. D. Heyes, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) One thing concerned parents, teachers, academics and policymakers were discussing long before the second-worst school shooing in U.S. history took place in Newtown, Conn. in mid-December was the culture of violence that currently exists in our country and in which our young tend to immerse themselves.
Legacy games of violence like Doom, Call to Duty, Grand Theft Auto and other "shooting" games, many psychiatrists say, have desensitized a growing number of kids and young adults to...
 Yet another terrorist bomb plot turns out to have been dreamed up by the FBIBy J. D. Heyes, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) As unbelievable as it sounds, the nation's premier domestic law enforcement agency is treating terrorism as a job-justification program, creating one phony "threat" after another to create cases out of thin air.
The latest case of what is nothing less than federal entrapment originates in Oakland, Calif., where the FBI announced Feb. 8 that another "bomb plot" had been foiled by agents. According to the East Bay Express newspaper, the supposed bomb was just a fake device that endangered...
 More evidence: Vitamin C does protect against coldsBy Sherry Baker, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) By the time he died in 1994, Linus Pauling had long been branded a "quack" by mainstream medicine and much of the mainstream media. Why? Because he advocated the use of vitamin C to treat many diseases, including the common cold. He claimed the medical establishment had long ignored important studies by respected scientists who provided evidence of vitamin C's disease-fighting properties.
Now, in a review of multiple placebo-controlled vitamin C studies, scientists at the University...
 The illusion of security: TSA allows travelers to use credit cards as IDBy J. D. Heyes, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) Air travelers in the United States know that producing a photo ID when passing through a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint is pretty standard fare. What most did not know; however, is that there is no requirement to do so in the TSA operating regulations.
Security is the agency's middle name, but apparently that's not a high priority.
An investigation by San Francisco CBS television affiliate KPIX 5 found that there is no federal law requiring passengers to show...
 Six facts you need to know about eating oils and fatsBy Jonathan Benson, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) One of the most widely misunderstood food groups today, oils and fats can be both crucial and detrimental to your health, depending on what type they are and how they are processed. But with so many inconsistencies and mistruths emerging from health authorities and the mainstream media on the issue, it is difficult for many people to effectively decipher between the two. So to help clarify, here are six important facts you need to know about oils and fats that will change the way you...
 Low-sugar diet helps prevent diabetesBy Sandeep Godiyal, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) One of the most common myths associated with diabetes is that too much intake of sugary foods triggers it. It should be noted; however, that while a low-sugar diet can help reduce the chances of dealing with diabetes, the excessive consumption of sugar is not the sole cause of it. There are other factors that tend to affect health and trigger the condition. But everyone is still advised to stick to a diet with less sugar since it can help prevent obesity, which is one of the most common...
MSG: Many Secrets Guarded (opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, February 11 2013
(NaturalNews) By now, most of us are aware of the fact that MSG has two purposes: to give a food that has absolutely no flavor, flavor and to increase the shelf life of a useless product that ultimately will increase the profits of the highly reputable company using it. Actually, there is a third purpose that no one really talks about, except maybe for me, which is knowingly selling a product that will present a myriad of illness symptoms in someone, causing them to constantly see a clueless doctor...
 Turn off your smart phone to unplug from job stress, researcher saysBy David Gutierrez, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) People who stay connected to their offices after work by means of phones, computers and tablets have more trouble recovering from workday stress, reducing their mental and physical health and placing more strain on their relationships, according to a series of studies conducted by Young Ah Park of Kansas State University.
Stress, including job stress, is associated with a wide array of chronic physical, mental and emotional health problems. Job stress that spills over into the family...
 Delusional youth: Colleges students think they're smarter and more entitled than any previous generationBy Summer Tierney, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) It seems the lesson today's American college students most need to learn is one not taught at its universities and colleges -- that there is a difference between believing you can accomplish anything and taking action to accomplish something.
A recent analysis of the American Freshman Survey suggests that what was once the American Dream, has perhaps become twisted now into an American Delusion of Grandeur. Since the mid 1960s, the Survey has recorded how students rate themselves...
 Abusive St. Louis police gang shut downBy Lance Johnson, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) The Uplands Park Police Department in St. Louis, Missouri has been a hub of corruption. From raping escorts in their police station, to hiring unlicensed officers, to setting up false arrests, this gang of police has been quite the abusive force. That is until recently.
On December 16, 2012, the Uplands Park Police Department was shut down. The police force of eight, including veteran Sgt. Janet Riley, was terminated. They were forced to hand over their badges, and their squad cars...
 New study: are we all living in the future now?By Jon Rappoport, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) A recent Bonn University study suggests we may all be living in a virtual simulation. If a pixel-lattice that forms the background of this universe is presenting us with an all-encompassing "television picture" of reality, then the whole space-time continuum could be a rigorously designed artifact.
But another study, this one using a small number of meditators, pushes our understanding even further.
Dean Radin, the author of two groundbreaking books on controlled paranormal experiments...
 Cut your heart attack risk dramatically by simply eating more berriesBy PF Louis, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) A recent study concluded that eating three or more servings of strawberries and/or blueberries per week protects against cardiovascular disease and heart attacks on women.
Only women? This study was for dietary influences that increase heart and cardiovascular health, not breast cancer. That's easily explained. This study was one of many in which registered nurses are the subjects, called the "Nurses' Health Study."
That's a pretty convenient approach since nurses are medically...
 Hormonal birth control increases risk of diabetesBy David Gutierrez, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) Some hormonal birth control methods may increase the risk of diabetes in overweight but otherwise healthy women, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Southern California and published in the journal Contraception.
The researchers divided a group of obese women into three groups. The first group consisted of women who were using any non-hormonal birth control method, including condoms, sterilization (male or female) or the copper intrauterine device...
 Lovers' hearts beat in time, study findsBy David Gutierrez, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) Partners in romantic relationships don't just share interests, habits and secrets, according to a pair of studies published in the journal Emotion and the International Journal of Psychophysiology. Researchers from the University of California, Davis and the University of Arizona found that even when seated several feet apart, couples synchronize their heart rates and breathing.
"We've seen a lot of research that one person in a relationship can experience what the other person is...
 'House of Cards' political drama from Netflix, starring Kevin Spacey, is an instant hitBy Mike Adams, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) When you think of TV series production studios, you don't normally think "Netflix." But the company has just produced and released a full season of a new political thriller starring Kevin Spacey and called "House of Cards."
Let me cut to the chase: House of Cards is an instant hit. It's smart, fascinating and a quantum leap better than the typical dumbed-down series shows you find on cable TV. When it comes to accolades, the real question is: Where to begin?
The acting is all...
 Carnival Cruise Lines president urges Triumph passengers to 'stop being so negative' about their 'unforgettable' cruise experienceBy Mike Adams, February 15 2013
(NaturalNews) (Satire) Carnival Cruise Lines needs to learn a lesson in public relations from the White House. First of all, never admit to any wrongdoing, even if the people you represent are knee-deep in s#!t. Cruise line customers, much like voters, are simply not qualified to understand what they are experiencing. They are obviously leaping to pessimistic conclusions about the reality around them.
"Stop being so negative," urged Carnival Cruise Lines president Janus Jacobson. "People need...
 Stranded Carnival 'Triumph' cruise ship transformed into floating prison as company refuses to evacuate passengers barely surviving in filth and raw sewageBy Mike Adams, February 14 2013
(NaturalNews) The stranded Carnival cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico has tragically proven to be quite an experiment in human behavior. The ship has been stranded for 96 hours following an engine fire. Ship engines also generate all the on-board electricity, so once the engine burned out, the ship's power grid went down, too. How's that for a carnival? Grid down!
Once the grid goes down, so do all the toilets, because on-board sewage pumps run on electricity. Carnival cruise passengers have been...
 Article updated with new message from the Health RangerBy Mike Adams, February 14 2013
(NaturalNews) The article which originally appeared here has been removed because it is no longer aligned with the science-based investigative mission of Natural News. In late 2013 / early 2014, Mike Adams (the Health Ranger), editor of Natural News, transitioned from outspoken activist to environmental scientist. He now runs the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, conducting world-class food science research and publishing scientific papers on food contaminants and nutritional analytics.

 Shaken Baby Syndrome often just a cover story for children who are brain damaged by vaccinesBy Ethan A. Huff, February 14 2013
(NaturalNews) Child abuse comes in many forms, and can result in serious and permanent health conditions such as Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS), a type of brain damage that typically afflicts children younger than one-year-old. But the cause of such abuse is not always physical trauma as many experts claim -- pediatricians, doctors, and government officials routinely abuse children by injecting them with toxic vaccines, which are often the real cause of SBS and other brain damage-related conditions inappropriately...
 Texas forces raw milk dairy to pour 700 gallons of perfectly good milk down the drainBy PF Louis, February 14 2013
(NaturalNews) Raiding small dairy farms for selling raw milk has become an active form of state terrorism throughout North America. The farms are usually small and the farmers are not well off.
Yet they're often shut down with short or no notice and forced to destroy or give up their raw dairy products for the enforcing agency to destroy. These are huge losses for small farmers and a terrible waste of healthy raw milk produced by healthy cows for humans' healthy consumption.

 Solar superstorm could knock out power grid and destroy electrical transformersBy J. D. Heyes, February 14 2013
(NaturalNews) Solar activity has dramatically increased in recent years, causing consternation and concern among state and federal emergency planners who are worried about the occurrence of a solar "superstorm" that would cause untold damage to power and communication grids.
Adding to that concern is a new report by a group of experts in Britain who say such a storm is not only likely to occur in the short term, but is a near-certainty, given the historical cycle of such solar events.
The report...
 Is the Komen Foundation running to find a cure or to find more money for itself?By Tony Isaacs, February 14 2013
(NaturalNews) February is Cancer Prevention Month, though you might never guess it given the lack of publicity compared to attention given to the non-profits who focus on "finding a cure" as part of "Cancer Awareness" campaigns. The biggest of all the cancer non-profits is the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which has over 100 "Race for the Cure" and other events scheduled for 2013.
As this $400 million per year giant pink gorilla of cancer charities continues to grow, the question that begs answering...
 Study shows the average child is now chronically ill - here's what you can do about itBy Ethan A. Huff, February 14 2013
(NaturalNews) Advocates of conventional medicine often try to claim that pharmaceutical drugs, vaccines, and other modern "health" interventions are responsible for extending the average lifespan and improving overall quality of life. But a 2011 study published in the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics tells a much different story, revealing that today's children are becoming progressively sicker with more than half now stricken with some type of chronic illness.
The study's original...
 Top remedies for treating chronic pain naturallyBy Jonathan Benson, February 14 2013
(NaturalNews) Treating chronic pain is a complex issue because there are numerous factors that contribute to its development and persistence. Contrary to popular belief, most instances of chronic pain do not actually originate in the muscles, bones, and tissues, but rather in the nerves, which means eating foods and taking herbs that promote central nervous system health may be the best approach to getting rid of chronic pain for good. Here are 10 ways to treat chronic pain naturally without drugs...
 Treat PTSD in adults and children with natural remedies, homeopathy and herbsBy JB Bardot, February 14 2013
(NaturalNews) Post traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a psychiatric condition that often arises after an individual witnesses or is involved in a life-threatening event such as a disaster, rape or violent assault. Children and adults experiencing PTSD can relive the terrifying experience through nightmares, flashbacks and behavioral disorders including insomnia, crying and depression.
