 The Calcium Wars: Magnesium deficiency causes heart diseaseBy Dr. Carolyn Dean, December 9 2012
(NaturalNews) Many people think that calcium is the only nutrient necessary for strong bones. This is a dangerous myth that needs to be addressed.(1)
In fact, it takes 18 different nutrients to make durable bones. However, the most important bone mineral is magnesium because it activates alkaline phosphatase, the enzyme required to ensure optimal bone cell activity, as well as a strong bone matrix.(2)
It is vitally important to understand that calcium and magnesium are in an endless and dynamic...
 Dietary prevention of metastasis to increase cancer survivalBy Dr. Phil Domenico, December 9 2012
(NaturalNews) Over a million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Most patients don't succumb to the initial tumor, but rather to metastatic (spread to another body site) tumors, or drug side effects. For instance, melanoma comprises four percent of skin cancers, but 80 percent of skin cancer deaths, due to its metastatic potential. Keeping cancer from spreading starts with a healthy anti-inflammatory diet.
Most cancers can be traced to environmental and lifestyle factors, like smoking...
 Bing accuses Google Shopping of 'payola' scandal in new 'Scroogled' campaignBy J. D. Heyes, December 9 2012
(NaturalNews) Some might call it a case of sour grapes between rival search engine giants, but a closer examination of the facts shows that Microsoft-founded Bing may have caught Google in the act of deceiving both its users and advertisers - again.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. In the beginning, Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page took a much more principled approach when it came to the messy business of generating commerce from their creation.

 Top five exercises for thunder thighsBy Sarka-Jonae Miller, December 9 2012
(NaturalNews) The average person gains a pound each year during the holidays, which adds to weight gained during previous holiday seasons. In some unlucky people, this extra weight goes straight to their thighs. Just as you have no say where your body stores fat, you also have no control over where you lose fat. That is why crunches do not affect belly fat and back extensions do not get rid of back fat. To combat thunder thighs, you need to eat fewer calories and do aerobic exercises. However, there...

 Hyped-up nuclear 'wonder fuel' not so wonderful, scientists warnBy David Gutierrez, December 9 2012
(NaturalNews) A radioactive element being promoted as a "wonder fuel" by the nuclear power industry is much less benign than it has been presented as being, according to a paper by four nuclear energy specialists published in the journal Nature.
The element in question, thorium, has been portrayed as a potential nuclear fuel source that could not be used to make nuclear weapons.
"We think that the public debate regarding its proliferation-resistance so far has been too one-sided," said lead...
 Got high cholesterol? Try taking probioticsBy Jonathan Benson, December 9 2012
(NaturalNews) More than 40 million Americans struggle with high cholesterol, which for many people is a direct result of either chronic inflammation caused by poor diet, or an autoimmune condition that is preventing the proper assimilation and use of cholesterol in cells and tissue throughout the body. A new study out of Spain; however, has found that taking probiotics can actually help regulate high cholesterol and bring it back down to normal, healthy levels.

 Obama is coming after your private pension funds; time to 'redistribute' the wealth!By J. D. Heyes, December 9 2012
(NaturalNews) Fewer Americans are paying income taxes as a proportion of the population than at any time in recent history, and those who are will likely soon be paying even more of their income to the federal government.
But that still won't be enough to satisfy Washington's insatiable appetite for the people's money; the Obama administration, unions, Congress and the Treasury Department are looking to fundamentally change the way you plan and save for retirement as well.

As this story shows, California has hidden away $577 billion in assets, all revealed in CAFR documents (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report) that are becoming increasingly well-known.
California's government, you see, has two main funds in which money is kept. The first fund, which is bankrupt, covers all government activities and expenditures. But the second fund -- the hidden...
 Top six alkaline foods to eat every day for vibrant healthBy Angela Doss, December 8 2012
(NaturalNews) The typical American diet is a deadly one, consisting primarily of toxic and acid-forming foods like processed sugars, artificial sweeteners, refined grains, conventionally produced meats and dairy, and hidden genetically modified organisms. All this, combined with a plethora of other challenging environmental factors (such as lack of rest, psychological stress, and pharmaceutical drugs), mean it's no wonder that more and more people are being diagnosed with chronic, degenerative illnesses...
 Study: Children who eat their own boogers may have stronger immunity than peersBy Ethan A. Huff, December 8 2012

(NaturalNews) A recent study by the University of York Department of Health Studies in the UK showed positive results on IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) using acupuncture.

 Four things you need to know about cancer and CandidaBy PF Louis, December 8 2012
(NaturalNews) Cancer and candida are apparently closely related. Some even claim Candida causes cancer, while others say they both originate and thrive in the same low pH, high acidic environment, possibly with a symbiotic relationship.
Candida yeast fungi are present to some extent in most or perhaps all of us. When the fungus overwhelms the gut's probiotic presence is when Candida begins to be an overall health threat.
When it comes to the relationship of candida to cancer, very few oncologists...

 How to brainwash the sheeple into doing anything you wantBy Mike Bundrant, December 8 2012
(NaturalNews) A few hours ago I was cycling through an nearby neighborhood. As I approached a mother and her two children walking down the sidewalk, the cutest little four-year-old piped up.
"Hi...!" she said.

 Lymphological care of infantsBy Prof. Karl West, December 8 2012
(NaturalNews) Our first lymphokinetic activity was experienced in a water bed of sorts, made of amniotic fluid in our mother's womb. After we are born, we continue moving our limbs in a manner that produces more lymphatic function. If we are left lying down too long, we cry to be held and bounced in our parents' arms, just like we might cry to nurse.
Evidence continues to accumulate to support the fact that activity is directly related to life, and inactivity is directly related to death. It is...

 FDA quietly increases allowed radiation doses of meats for human consumptionBy Ethan A. Huff, December 7 2012
(NaturalNews) Rather than actually take the time to address the root causes of meat and poultry contamination, which more often than not are a direct result of outrageously unsanitary factory farming practices (http://www.naturalnews.com/025716_antibiotic_animals_antibiotics.html), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has instead decided to simply up the doses of radiation that industrial food producers are allowed to blast on their filthy, contaminated meat products.

 Real Christmas trees better for the earth than artificial onesBy David Gutierrez, December 7 2012
(NaturalNews) Environmentalists for whom Christmas trees are an important tradition face a dilemma: should they buy a real or an artificial tree?

 Coming soon: Cops given access to all your text messagesBy J. D. Heyes, December 7 2012
(NaturalNews) No doubt due in large part to the brazen, unchallenged lawlessness and lack of constitutional integrity demonstrated by a succession of presidential administrations, local and state-level law enforcement agencies are now beginning to look more like their federal brethren as they goose-step towards tyranny.
The latest maneuver involves an effort by several police organizations to have Congress require wireless providers like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and others to record store information...
