 How to fix your cholesterol without prescription drugsBy Jonathan Benson, December 28 2012
(NaturalNews) Though many people still do not realize this, our bodies actually need cholesterol in order to survive, as the brain and central nervous system rely on this important fat to both protect the integrity of neurons and promote proper neural communication and function. But sometimes cholesterol fails to properly assimilate where it needs to go inside the body, or the size and density of cholesterol particles get out of whack due to an underlying health condition or poor diet and lifestyle...
 The unbelievably nutritious avocado: Holiday vegan chocolate pudding recipe includedBy Eric L. Zielinski, December 28 2012
(NaturalNews) Avocados are one of the healthiest foods on the planet. They are filled with a plethora of nutrients including vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, copper, iron, phosporus, magnesium, and potassium. In fact, you would need to eat two or tree bananas to meet the potassium content of just one avocado. Avocados also contain fiber, protein, and beneficial phytochemicals such as beta-sitosterol, glutathione and lutein which help protect against various disease and illness like macular degeneration...
 More than 3,000 epigenetic switches control daily metabolismBy Katherine Leonard MS, NC, December 28 2012
(NaturalNews) Circadian rhythms do more than just make us sleepy at night. These rhythms affect our individual organs, even our genes. Circadian cycles affect nearly every living organism, including plants, bacteria, insects, and humans. In fact, there are over 3,000 epigenomic elements that regulate the circadian cycles of about 15,000 genes in humans, specifically genes in the liver.
The liver is one of the most important organs of the body, it is responsible for over 13,000 biochemical reactions...
 Add some bling to your self-esteem? Study reveals delusion of social status drives sales of expensive productsBy Mike Bundrant, December 28 2012
(NaturalNews) Imagine: In order for people to feel good about themselves, they believe they need to purchase a product that you happen to sell.
Would you take their money?
There they are, lined up by the millions, furtively eyeballing your showcase of shiny objects that will allow them to hold their heads up high.
You have two choices. You can take the money and laugh all the way to the bank. Or, you can free them of the delusion that your products will give them self-worth.
Which choice...

 Facebook bans Gandhi quote as part of revisionist history purgeBy Mike Adams, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) The reports are absolutely true. Facebook suspended the Natural News account earlier today after we posted an historical quote from Mohandas Gandhi. The quote reads:
"Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest." - Mohandas Gandhi, an Autobiography, page 446.
This historical quote was apparently too much for Facebook's censors to bear. They suspended our account and gave us a "final warning"...

 How to lower your blood pressure without prescription drugsBy Ethan A. Huff, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) It is no secret that chronic high blood pressure, whatever its particular root cause, can lead to heart disease, which is said to be the leading cause of death in America today. But what remains a secret, at least to many people, is how to deal with this condition naturally apart from pharmaceutical drug interventions, which the establishment often claims is the only effective remedy for lowering blood pressure. Here are four ways to help naturally lower your blood pressure without...
 Subversive, seditious journalist Piers Morgan must be arrested, prosected for crimes against AmericaBy J. D. Heyes, December 23 2012
(NaturalNews) CNN-based British journalist Piers Morgan is in a bit of a sticky wicket, as his countrymen might say: It's possible he has run afoul of American law by, ironically, criticizing American law.
In an interview with longtime Gun Owners of America chief Larry Pratt a few days before Christmas, Morgan berated his guest over the latter's suggestion that, in the wake of yet another deadly school shooting, education officials around the country should use armed guards or trained and armed...
 Healing colds naturally: Nature's medicine cabinetBy Melissa A. Bartoszewski, DC, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) In today's society we are used to going to the doctor only when we are sick (sick care), instead, we need to focus on preventative care. Do you want to mask symptoms or get the underlying problem fixed? Treating problems before they surface is more effective and cheaper. Boost your immune system year round with supplementation and chiropractic care to minimize sickness.
Food as medicineOnion: Red/Yellow; contain flavonols and quercetin, powerful antioxidants that help to decrease...
 Anti-gun agenda leads local New York newspaper into violating Fourth Amendment rights of gun ownersBy J. D. Heyes, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) The United States has become an over-lawyered, litigious society, to be sure, but sometimes violations of the Constitution and the law are so punitive and blatant that you can't wait for the suit to be filed.
That appears to be the "case," if you'll pardon the pun, over the outrageous publication of the names of handgun-permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties in New York State by local newspaper, whose anti-Second Amendment editors also included an interactive map showing...
 Electromedicine for Alzheimer's? Brain 'pacemaker' being pushed as new medical deviceBy Ethan A. Huff, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) The conventional fight against Alzheimer's disease has taken a new direction, as some researchers are now investigating a unique form of "electromedicine" they believe might be a viable alternative to the failed pharmaceutical approach. According to the U.K.'s Daily Mail, expanded trials will soon begin on an implanted pacemaker-like device that sends electrical signals into the brain, which experts hope will effectively reverse the cognitive decline associated with dementia, without...
 Pope calls for world government, 'New World Order'By Ethan A. Huff, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) During a recent speech he made before the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace in Rome on December 3, Pope Benedict XVI, the current leader of the Roman Catholic Church, called for what can only be described as a unified world government, which he dubbed a "new evangelization of society" that aligns with the spirit of visions brought forth by previous popes.
While addressing the council, Pope Benedict XVI made numerous references to this "new evangelization" as an integral part...
 Out of control medicine: Psychoactive drugs the preferred treatment for bullying in the workplace?By Mike Bundrant, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) If there were ever evidence that doctors are on an ignorant, out-of-control rampage to subject your brain to sedatives, this has got to be it.
Have you been bullied at work? Have you witnessed someone else being bullied? Then you are a prime candidate to be prescribed drugs to deal with your problem, according to research reported by Medical News Today:
The findings showed that workplace bullying was associated with subsequent prescriptions for psychoactive drugs in both men and...
 Pre-diabetics get real health benefits from lifestyle interventionsBy David Gutierrez, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) People at high risk of diabetes can significantly improve their health by taking part in simple, self-directed lifestyle change programs, according to a study conducted by researchers at Stanford University, the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute, and published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
This means that the type intervention previously reserved for people who could afford one-on-one, coach-based programs could now be made accessible to the wider public. This...
 Better romantic partners make better parents, study findsBy David Gutierrez, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) The same set of interpersonal skills that make a person a good romantic partner also make them a good parent, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Bristol and published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, a journal of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP).
SPSP, an organization of social and personality psychologists, promotes scientific research related to thought, behavior, emotions and social interactions.

 The Vagus nerve: Your friend in weight loss and a better moodBy Dr. Daniel Zagst, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) It's no secret that a healthy nervous system is important for well-being and longevity. The spinal nerves are responsible for controlling most of the muscles in your torso, arms, and legs, along with bowel, bladder, and reproductive functions. The cranial nerves reside mostly in the head region and control much of what goes on in the face and neck, but the tenth cranial nerve goes way beyond. The Vagus nerve influences your body and brain more than most people realize.

 Another lawsuit follows E. coli infectionBy Ben Meredith, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) It's not meat or spinach this time; a petting zoo is now under fire for being the cause of a recent E. coli outbreak. To add to the already uncommon and arguably alarming circumstances, the lawsuit is being driven by the condition of an 18-month-old child.
Last month, an outbreak of E. coli led to an investigation that linked the infections to the Cleveland County Fair. State officials stated earlier in November that 106 people became sickened, and a Gaston County two-year-old child...
 The Bill of Rights is not negotiable - SHARE this urgent declarationBy Mike Adams, December 27 2012
(NaturalNews) There is a destructive, delusional meme spreading like a virus among many misguided Americans. It pushes the idea that government can pick and choose which rights codified in the Bill of Rights it wishes to recognize or discard on any given day.
This delusion is predicated on the concept that if a popular majority can be emotionally whipped into a frenzy over one particular right, then that right can simply be discarded and stricken from the Bill of Rights.
But no such power exists...
 Children of President Obama, media elite go to schools with armed security guardsBy J. D. Heyes, December 26 2012
(NaturalNews) If the elites in our country are anything they are consistent. Consistently hypocritical.
In a passionate speech just days after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre made what many saw as a bold, outside-the-box suggestion for keeping schools safer moving forward: Put trained, armed guards in them as a way to thwart future attacks by well-armed lunatics and crazies who are doped up on psychotropic drugs:

 Would you eat biotech fish? FDA approves genetically engineered salmonBy Raw Michelle, December 26 2012
(NaturalNews) After a few brief tests, GE salmon, meant to grow twice as fast as regular Atlantic salmon, was deemed safe both for the environment and for human consumption. The FDA added that it would take public comments for 60 days before finally deciding on whether or not to approve the salmon.
Criticism of the recent FDA assessment points to the lack of sufficient evidence that the fish is safe for consumption, and the difficulty in measuring its real impact on the environment once mass production...
 Beware of Big Brother: 'Rental' computers discovered tracking users' locations, passwords and private livesBy Ethan A. Huff, December 26 2012
(NaturalNews) Privacy is an illusion with many of today's computers and tech devices, which are fully capable of secretly tracking your every move and relaying this information to third parties or even the government without your knowledge or permission. This was the subject of a recent lawsuit and federal investigation, which uncovered a massive spying ring involving computer rental companies that install secret software on their computers to hijack users' webcams; capture screenshots of users'...
 Nine foods you should never eat againBy Jonathan Benson, December 26 2012
(NaturalNews) With so much misinformation out there about food and how it affects human health, making healthy food choices for you and your family can be difficult and confusing. There are a number of specific foods; however, that you will want to avoid in almost every circumstance because they provide virtually no health benefits while posing plenty of health risks. Here are nine foods you should never eat again if you care about preserving your long-term health:
1) White bread, refined flours...
 Eat your veggies! Carotenoids reduce fracture riskBy Sherry Baker, December 26 2012
(NaturalNews) With all the talk about the bone thinning condition osteoporosis almost always aimed at women, you may not be aware that thin men have a strong risk for hip fractures as they age. But a new study shows there may be a way to modify that risk. No, the answer isn't taking Big Pharma's side effect loaded drugs. Instead, the key is to eat more veggies loaded with carotenoids. These natural phytochemicals found in numerous fruits and vegetables (including carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach...
 Dogs that accurately sniff out superbug infections? The role of animals in hospital infectionsBy J. D. Heyes, December 26 2012
(NaturalNews) In this high-tech world, sometimes it's better to rely on a low-tech solution or, in this case, no tech.
A new study to be published in the Christmas issue of the British Medical Journal found that dogs can be used to sniff out Clostridium difficile, or C-diff, the element that is responsible for a rising number of hospital infections that are extremely resistant to antibiotics.
The olfactory sense of dogs can be used to identify C-diff infections in stool samples as well as the...
 Recent findings reveal green tea treats acneBy Seppo, December 26 2012
(NaturalNews) Recently, two studies were performed to measure the potential of green tea in acne treatment and the results give hope for those looking for an alternative. The findings of these recent studies show that when applied to the affected area, green tea can reduce sebum production, inflammation and bacterial growth in acne-prone skin, as a result of an antioxidant called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).
The first study findingsThe more recent of the studies appeared in the December...
 Severe vitamin D deficiency influences heart health: studyBy PF Louis, December 26 2012
(NaturalNews) Severe vitamin D deficiency influences heart health: study
Mainstream medicine has promoted the merits of vitamin D's bone health and rickets prevention for decades. For that level of health protection, a low RDA (recommended dietary allowance) was established of 600 iu (international units) daily while a vitamin D blood level at 20 ng/ml (nanograms/milliliter) was considered normal.
Now most real vitamin D experts agree that the minimum 25(OH)D serum level for optimum health...
 Detoxifying strategies and periodic cleansing periods are essential to health in the modern worldBy Dr. David Jockers, December 26 2012
(NaturalNews) Life in the 21st century is full of stress and environmental toxicity. We have over 80,000 toxic chemicals in our surrounding environment that we are interacting with regularly. A lifestyle of daily detoxifying strategies and periodic cleansing periods is essential to health in the modern world.
Researchers estimate through various studies that the average person living today is carrying a minimum of 700 known toxins in their blood, skin, fat tissue, brain tissue, liver, digestive...
 Five affirmations for a happy, healthy 2013By Mike Bundrant, December 26 2012
(NaturalNews) Be careful with affirmations.
If you don't form them well, they can backfire. Repeating one-sided fantasy affirmations over and over has a way of encouraging the opposite, just like an extremely low calorie diet has a way of encouraging a binge.
For example, if you tell yourself:
I am kindness and love, the embodiment of compassion, a river of pure light energy that flows without end.
This is a lie that may ultimately piss you off if you cram it down your psyche day after...
 Reiki as complementary therapy for cancer patientsBy Caryn Connolly, December 26 2012
(NaturalNews) The cover of the Fall 2012 issue of Caring 4 Cancer magazine, which is distributed at some cancer centers, reads "Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Popular Remedies That May Help." While the article itself does not specifically mention Reiki, it gives cancer patients other options of which they might not otherwise be aware and acknowledges that it does not cause any harm in conjunction with their more "conventional" chemotherapy treatments. However, there is information out there...

 Health Ranger's 2009 'S.S.R.Lies' music video forewarned about school shootings from psych-medicated male youthBy Mike Adams, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) We now know that the Newtown school shooter was taking psychiatric drugs and was being "treated" by a psychiatrist. The link between psychiatric drugs and violent behavior in young male adults is well established: psych drugs cause suicidal behavior, violent outbursts and a feeling of "detachment" from reality.
This is what allows medicated minds to engage in mass killings: they literally feel like it's nothing more than a violent video game. And because so many of these young killers...
 New study: Infants receiving the most vaccines are the most likely to be hospitalized and dieBy Neil Z. Miller, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) A new study, published in Human and Experimental Toxicology, a peer-reviewed journal indexed by the National Library of Medicine, analyzed more than 38,000 reports of infant hospitalizations and deaths following vaccinations.[1] Researchers found statistically significant correlations between the number of vaccine doses administered to infants and infant hospitalization and mortality rates: babies who receive the most vaccines tend to have higher (worse) hospitalization and death rates...
 Mainstream media avoiding any mention of link between psychiatric drugs and violent shootingsBy J. D. Heyes, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) Whether it's because most members of the mainstream media are simply oblivious to the effects of psychotropic drugs, whether it's a biased political agenda, laziness or a combination of all of those elements, you will be hard-pressed to find many journalists who dare to link the dangers of these medications to the growing number of horrific mass murders that have occurred with alarming frequency in recent years.
The most recent of these involved 20-year-old Adam Lanza, who killed...
 Popular radio host announces 'vaccine buyback' program to protect children from deadly jabsBy Ethan A. Huff, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) To all the doctors out there who have even the slightest concerns about the safety of the vaccines they routinely administer to young children, now is your opportunity to come clean and turn those vaccines in for good. Radio host and natural health advocate Robert Scott Bell of The Robert Scott Bell Show recently announced a "vaccine buyback" program on his show that encourages doctors to turn in their deadly vaccines and instead choose safe, natural alternatives for their patients...
 Media won't admit diabetes has a cure; instead they use the term 'remission'By J. D. Heyes, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) A new study claims that people with type 2 diabetes or who are suffering "pre-diabetes" symptoms can see their disease go into remission after a year of following an intensive diet and exercise program, but as usual, the mainstream media is stopping short of saying that the disease can be totally reversed.
Edward Gregg, the lead author on the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told Reuters Health that one in nine people with diabetes managed to lower their...
 Brain chemistry controls violent behavior like Newtown shooting - decades of research has shownBy Talya Dagan, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) The brain governs violent behavior. Research from esteemed universities such as Tulane University, University of California, Stanford University, Cornell Medical Center, Mount Sinai Medical School, University of Pennsylvania, Oxford University, and Yale University have found that the biological and environmental causes of violence are connected. Some of this research dates back to 1973 and was, at that time, published in well-known journals such as Fortune Magazine. Defects in the hippocampus...
How to build healthy bones at any age without prescription drugsBy Jonathan Benson, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) The key to maintaining healthy, strong bones does not necessarily involve taking high-dose calcium supplements or medicating yourself with osteoporosis drugs. Both of these approaches, in fact, can cause more harm than good if used indiscriminately, especially when other dietary and lifestyle factors that involve the root causes of bone loss remain unaddressed. Here are five nutrition and lifestyle-based approaches that will help correct and prevent bone loss at any age without the...
 Six reasons magnesium is an essential supplement for well-beingBy PF Louis, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) Magnesium has been called the "master mineral" because it is involved with over 300 metabolic functions within our bodies. Yet, everyone who relies on commercially farmed, depleted topsoil crops is magnesium deficient. Organic crops have considerably more magnesium content than what Big Ag can offer.
As a supplement, magnesium is also vastly underrated. It seems the manic thrust for calcium supplementation exceeds the mild interest toward magnesium. But excessive calcium supplementation...
 Forget allergy meds: Combat winter allergies naturallyBy Sarka-Jonae Miller, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) Most people think of spring as prime allergy season, but wintertime can wreak havoc for allergy sufferers as well. Unlikely suspects like a Christmas tree could even be the cause behind some people's winter allergy attacks. Allergies cause annoying sneezing, sniffling and itching that make people want to reach for sprays or over-the-counter allergy medications. These drugs often make people sleepy, which makes working, driving and other activities difficult, even dangerous. As many...
 Five steps to naturally recharge your adrenal glands this holiday seasonBy Jonathan Benson, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) Christmas is right around the corner, which for many people means lots of quality time spent with family and friends; lots of eating and drinking; and a whole lot of exhaustion and lethargy for the millions of people who suffer from adrenal fatigue. A consequence of excess stress, lack of proper rest, poor diet, and various other lifestyle factors, adrenal fatigue can rob you of your energy and motivation, and leave you feeling perpetually tired and weak. But there are some natural...
 If you're sad, you're clinically sick, says DSM-V psychiatry manual (and you need chemical treatment)By J. D. Heyes, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) Do you get emotional and sad, grieving the loss of a friend or loved one? Well, if you are one of the 99.99 percent of human beings who do, you may want to think about hiding your emotions because new psychiatry guidelines could classify you with a mental illness - one that would necessarily require drug therapy, of course.
The changes to official psychiatric guidelines for depression are already controversial, as you might imagine, raising concerns that grief over the sickness or...
 Sweet foods that can help cure constipationBy Michael Ravensthorpe, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) As the Western world continues to become more dependent on processed and unnatural foods, constipation and other bowel-related conditions are on the rise. Fortunately, constipation - the irregular or infrequent evacuation of the bowels due to intestinal obstruction - is one of the easiest conditions to treat, and often requires little more than an improved diet.
Most individuals acknowledge that fiber-rich foods (especially fruits, vegetables, and bran products) have a positive effect...
 Widely used heart drug increases risk of deathBy David Gutierrez, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) A widely used heart drug actually increases the risk of death in patients with the very condition it is most commonly used to treat, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Kentucky and published in the European Heart Journal.
Digoxin, extracted from the foxglove plant, has been used as a treatment for heart disease for hundreds of years. The drug's ability to make the heart beat more strongly and regularly is well documented, making it a popular treatment...
The Connecticut school shootings: Operation ChaosBy Jon Rappoport, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) Jacob Roberts, the Oregon mall shooter, and the shooter(s) at the Connecticut elementary school, share a common trait: they committed irrational and inexplicable murders.
This may seem like an obvious fact, but it holds the key to understanding what is going on. You don't look for an ordinary motive. Therefore, what are we dealing with?
It's easy to say, "They were crazy," or "Who cares why they did it," but that gets you nowhere.
We have to shake off our own conditioning to...
 The gut-mind-emotion danceBy Mike Bundrant, December 24 2012
(NaturalNews) Through a recent conversation with my new colleague, Chiara Marrapodi, I learned a lot about the connection among the gut, mind and emotions. Chiara recently appeared as a guest on the November 21, 2012 episode of Mental Health Exposed. This article is based on Chiara's research.
Phrases like "gut feeling" or "butterflies" are familiar to us and although these may appear to be cliche, research shows that the link between the gut, the brain and our emotions is real.
The gut is...

 McDonald's serving up 'restructured meat technology' - you want fries with that?By J. D. Heyes, December 22 2012
(NaturalNews) Well, it's that time of year again when McDonald's rolls out its venerable McRib sandwich. Tens of millions of Americans will purchase one - or, judging by the nation's ever-widening belt line, several - but most will do so without knowing all they should know about this popular sandwich.
Besides high caloric content, there are several other reasons why you should avoid the McRib, a boneless pork product smothered in BBQ sauce that famously resembles a rack of ribs, as much as you...
 Five amazing ways probiotics can protect you this flu seasonBy J. D. Heyes, December 22 2012

Well, you can do that if you choose, or you can take a more proactive approach to warding off the bugs and viruses this year by employing probiotics to help defend you.
What are probiotics? Simply put, it is the good bacteria that resides in your gut and battles infection caused by viruses...
 Chew more, eat less: Avoid food designed to make you fatBy Sarka-Jonae Miller, December 22 2012
(NaturalNews) Americans are eating more and gaining weight with rapid speed, and many people have theories about why this is, but the truth could very well be that in an effort to sell more food and make more money, manufacturers have designed their food to go down quicker so you can put more in your mouth. People in the U.S. used to chew their bites of food up to 25 times before swallowing it, yet today people chew bites as few of 10 times. Less chewing, means more swallowing, which ultimately means...
