Medical Errors Still Common in U.S. HospitalsBy David Gutierrez, October 21 2009
(NaturalNews) More than 2 percent of all hospital patients are victims of a medical error, according to a study conducted by the health care ratings organization HealthGrades.
Researchers reviewed a Medicare database to evaluate almost 5,000 hospitals across the United States for their performance on 12 different measures of patient safety between the years of 2005 and 2007. They found records of a total of 913,000 "patient safety events," meaning errors that led to medical problems. This came...

 High-Fructose Corn Syrup Produces Toxic Chemical "HMF" When HeatedBy Mike Adams, October 20 2009
(NaturalNews) If you know anything about the food supply, you know that honey bees are a crucial part of the food production chain. In the United States, they pollinate roughly one-third of all the crops we eat, and without them, we'd be facing a disastrous collapse in viable food production.
That's why, when honey bees started to disappear a few years ago, scientists scrambled to find the root cause of the phenomenon, which has since been dubbed "Colony Collapse Disorder."
The name is a bit...
Omega-3s beat depressionBy Mike Adams, October 20 2009
(NaturalNews) You're probably already aware of the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular health, but did you know that omega-3s are also extremely beneficial for moods and cognitive function? In fact, there's a tremendous amount of good evidence demonstrating that omega-3 fatty acids can help enhance brain function and prevent depression.
Below, we present a collection of supporting quotes and testimonials from authors and researchers in the natural health field. You'll find more of...
More good news about bad times: the Great Depression increased US life expectancyBy S. L. Baker, October 20 2009
(NaturalNews) As recently reported in NaturalNews (http://www.naturalnews.com/027131_health_food_paper.html), current economic woes could have a silver lining. A report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) by Dr. Stephen Bezruchka of the University of Washington's School of Public Health concluded that the recession might produce health benefits, in part because smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and overeating are likely to decline. Now comes more potential good news about bad...
Get Rid of Headaches HolisticallyBy Sheryl Walters, October 20 2009
(NewsTarget) Nothing will ruin a beautiful sunny day like a bad headache or a horrendous migraine. And with our fast paced way of life, the current credit crunch and far too little relaxation, it is not surprising that so many people are suffering from headaches and migraines. Headaches can often be traced back to diet and lifestyle issues. By looking for the underlying cause of chronic headaches and making some changes holistically, headaches can improve or even disappear.
Migraines are very...
Diabetes reduces brain functionBy David Gutierrez, October 20 2009
(NaturalNews) Repeated exposure to the low blood sugar levels caused by poorly controlled diabetes may damage the brain's cognitive function, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Edinburgh and presented at a conference of the nonprofit Diabetes U.K.
"This study reinforces previous evidence which suggests that poorly controlled diabetes affects the functioning of the brain," said Iain Frame of Diabetes U.K. "We already know that Type 2 diabetes increases the risk...
 Esteemed virologist Dr Albert Osterhaus accused of stoking pandemic fears to promote his own vaccine business interestsBy Mike Adams, October 19 2009
(NaturalNews) In the world of virology, few people have the track record of achievements attributed to Dr. Albert Osterhaus. He's the Head of Department of Virology at the Erasmus MC, University of Rotterdam. Among his many achievements, he was the first to prove the infection mechanism of SARS in 2003. He's also credited with being the first to detect the cross-species infection mechanism of H5N1.
In his 20 years of dedication to the study of infectious disease, Dr. Osterhaus has authored more...
Ecuador president Correa to override drug patents in order to provide affordable medicationsBy Mike Adams, October 19 2009
(NaturalNews) The President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, announced Sunday that he planned to override a number of pharmaceutical patents in order to provide more affordable medicines to the People of Ecuador. In a statement, Correa explained that access to medicine is a "human right" and that he intends to seek "compulsory licenses" to acquire medications considered indispensible.
Under current World Trade Organization rules, countries have the right to seek such "compulsory licenses" that override...
Prostate cancer myth busted: No XMRV virus found in patientsBy Mike Adams, October 19 2009
(NaturalNews) Everywhere you turn these days, drug companies are attempting to associate diseases with viruses as a preamble for a future vaccine push. For the last few years, Pharma-friendly researchers have been claiming prostate cancer might be caused by Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus (XMLV) because they've discovered such viruses in prostate cancer tumors.
Similarly, there was a recent push to claim that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was caused by a virus for the same reason: CFS sufferers seem...
Pfizer to pay $1.3 billion criminal fine for misbranding its drugsBy Mike Adams, October 19 2009
(NaturalNews) In the largest criminal fine ever levied against any drug company in the world, a unit of U.S.-based Pfizer, Inc. was sentenced to pay $1.3 billion in criminal fines and revenue forfeiture. It's all part of a $2.3 billion settlement announced by the Justice Department. The case centers around Pfizer's criminal "off-label marketing" of four drugs, including the painkiller Bextra. After whistleblowers filed lawsuits in three states, the U.S. Justice Department took an interest in the...
Natural remedies for acid reflux disease (GERD)By Mike Adams, October 19 2009
(NaturalNews) What exactly is "acid reflux disease?" Health consumers are quite familiar with the term (and the symptoms, in many cases), but few have a solid grasp of its underlying causes.
For one thing, the term "disease" doesn't really apply to this condition. Acid reflux isn't something you "catch" (like malaria); it's just a pattern of symptoms with an underlying biochemical cause that can be corrected. And here, in the quotes you'll find below, we present a wealth of information about what...
Will the world end on December 21, 2012? The Mayan calendar, the Higgs boson particle and fabric of realityBy Mike Adams, October 18 2009
(NaturalNews) I don't claim to be able to see the future through any sort of powers of premonition, but when it comes to December 21, 2012, I'll offer an armchair prediction that deserves some discussion: The world will not end.
But this doesn't mean the Mayan prophecies about the end of time are wrong. I think they're actually right about the ending of one era and the birth of a new one, but it seems far more likely that this transition will take place over a period of time rather than occurring...
Probiotics prevent asthmaBy Mike Adams, October 18 2009
(NaturalNews) Did you know that probiotics help prevent asthma? It's not one of those immediately obvious connections, but the more you look into it, the more you'll see why it works.
Asthma is often the result of systemic inflammation caused by food allergies. Probiotics, it turns out, can help deal with food allergies, calming the inflammation and helping to eliminate many health problems (not just asthma, but also some skin conditions and intestinal disorders as well).
Below, we've published...
Scientists find lack of vitamin K could cause age-related diseasesBy S. L. Baker, October 18 2009
(NaturalNews) Here's a compelling reason to eat a variety of green, leafy vegetables regularly, including cabbage, cauliflower, Swiss chard and spinach: they could slow down the aging process and prevent a host of serious, life threatening diseases. The veggies' secret? These foods are rich sources of vitamin K. And a new analysis of dietary intakes of this nutrient strongly suggests that adequate amounts of vitamin K may prevent a wide range of age-related conditions such as weak bones, arterial...
Japanese Judo Industry Devastated by Contagious Skin FungusBy David Gutierrez, October 18 2009
(NaturalNews) The All Japan Judo Federation is sounding a warning that an epidemic of a skin- and hair-affecting fungus may ruin the traditional Japanese martial arts of judo and sumo.
"The federation has become worried about the situation," said dermatology researcher Seitaro Hiruma of Juntendo University in Tokyo. "Now they are saying that if they leave this infection unchecked it will ruin Japanese judo."
The threat is an infectious skin fungus known as Trichophyton tonsurans. Similar to...
Natural substance in melons relieves stress and fatigueBy S. L. Baker, October 17 2009
(NaturalNews) Is there food that you correlate with stress? A fast food, high calorie meal grabbed at a drive-in restaurant might fill the bill. But the color, smell, juicy sweetness and cool texture of a delicious melon -- whether a cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew or another kind -- conjures up a relaxing scenario. Now scientists have found that a natural substance derived from melons may actually be an antidote to stress.
When most of us say we are experiencing too much stress, we mean we are...
Mediterranean Diet Reduces Depression RiskBy Sherry Baker, October 17 2009
(NewsTarget) There's yet another reason why eating the Mediterranean way is not only delicious but extraordinarily healthy. In addition to helping prevent and even treat type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome (http://www.naturalnews.com/025098_nuts_mediterranean_diet_metabolic_syndrome.html ), heart disease, dementia (http://www.naturalnews.com/026011_mediterranean_diet_Alzheimers_dementia.html) and obesity, the Mediterranean diet, which consists of lots of fruits, nuts, whole grains and fish, also...
Choosing Your Words Carefully may Improve Your Health and WellbeingBy Sheryl Walters, October 17 2009
(NewsTarget) Your words create your reality. The kind of words we use to describe our situations and our lives are the way that we perceive our lives to be. Our perception then is the reality. When you say things like something is a disaster or you are suffering from a disease, you are painting a clear picture for yourself and anyone listening that this is just the way it is. Can we, then, change our situations, or at the very least change our perception of a situation, by changing the way we speak...
Bedbug Outbreak Sweeping Across AmericaBy David Gutierrez, October 17 2009
(NaturaNews) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) held its first ever bedbug conference in April, in the face of the nation's largest outbreak of the insects since World War II.
Bedbugs are bloodsucking insects that live in the folds of sheets, mattresses and upholstered furniture such as couches. They remain concealed and sleep during the day, emerging to feed only at night. While the insects do not transmit any diseases, their bites may swell and itch fiercely, much like mosquito bites...
Swine Flu Vaccine Mandate for NY Health Care Workers Halted by Judge's Restraining OrderBy Mike Adams, October 16 2009
(NaturalNews) Amid growing discontent among New York health care workers who are being forced to receive swine flu vaccine injections, the Public Employees Federation sued in state court to halt the mandate. Friday, a state Supreme Court judge issued a restraining order granting a temporary halt to the mandate until a subsequent hearing can be completed.
The lawsuit was brought by the Public Employees Federation, New York State United Teachers and four Albany nurses. Until today, these workers...
Ten questions about flu vaccines that doctors and health authorities refuse to answerBy Mike Adams, October 16 2009
(NaturalNews) Vaccine mythology remains rampant in both western medicine and the mainstream media. To hear the vaccination zealots say it, vaccines are backed by "good science," they've been "proven effective" and they're "perfectly safe."
Oh really? Where's all that good science? As it turns out, there's isn't any. Flu vaccines (including swine flu vaccines) are based entirely on a vaccine mythology that assumes all vaccines work and no vaccines can be scientifically questioned. Anyone who dares...
Hemp for America! Farmers plant hemp seeds on DEA's front lawnBy Mike Adams, October 16 2009
(NaturalNews) You can buy hemp products in America, including textiles, nutritional supplements, soaps and ropes. You just can't grow hemp in America. So all the hemp used in these products purchased by Americans is grown somewhere else: China, Canada, India, Chile and many other countries. Meanwhile, Americans farmers suffer under increasing debt and decreasing revenues from stalled crop prices. What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong, it turns out, is that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency...
Got Bad Breath? Try Chlorophyll for HalitosisBy Mike Adams, October 16 2009
(NaturalNews) Forget about breath mints. You can never take enough to cover halitosis if your breath really smells bad. The only real way to get rid of bad breath is to solve the problem internally.
Fortunately, there's an easy way to do that: Chlorophyll. It's Mother Nature's amazing green cleaning machine, and the more you take, the cleaner you get.
Here, we bring you a collection of supporting quotes about chlorophyll and halitosis (bad breath) from some of the best-known natural health...
Cheap, all natural, one minute test outperforms MRI for diagnosing strokeBy S. L. Baker, October 16 2009
(NaturalNews) If you have severe dizziness and especially if you have hypertension or high cholesterol, it's important to be checked out to see if you are having a stroke. A trip to the emergency room for those kinds of symptoms usually involves a costly, high tech MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). But a new study from stroke researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Illinois concludes there may be a better, simpler -- and far cheaper and quicker -- way to distinguish a stroke from other...
Conflicts of Interests Haunt Doctors who Promote PharmaceuticalsBy David Gutierrez, October 16 2009
(NaturalNews) Accepting gifts from pharmaceutical companies creates a subtle but potent pressure upon doctors to serve that company's interests, according a commentary published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Blood pressure researcher Bruce Psaty of the University of Washington writes that while he used to take gifts from pharmaceutical companies, he soon learned that he found himself invariably disposed to subtly promote those companies' products.

Massage Brings More than Just RelaxationBy Sheryl Walters, October 16 2009
(NewsTarget) The tremendous benefits of regular massage are irreplaceable to the human body. Massage is a variety of sometimes ancient techniques that manipulate the soft tissues of the body. It can definitely relax you, but there are some benefits of massage that go far beyond relaxation.
Pain and anxiety are two common problems associated with receiving massage therapy. By soothing muscles and nerves a greater state of well being is achieved for the recipient. When you take this concept further...
 There's no such thing as a virus that causes chronic fatigue syndromeBy Mike Adams, October 15 2009
(NaturalNews) Beware, readers, when you see articles in the mainstream media claiming that a retrovirus causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The stories quote new research published in the journal Science which claims that this virus -- known as XMRV -- was found in 67% of CFS sufferers but only 4% of the general population. From there, the media leaps to the wild conclusion that CFS is caused by this virus.
What you need to know is that this disinformation is laying the groundwork for a future...
Chaparral is natural medicine for treating cancerBy Mike Adams, October 15 2009
(NaturalNews) If you search for natural cancer remedies, you'll eventually find information about chaparral -- a powerful healing herb that grows in the desert regions of the American Southwest (among other places). (In fact, where I used to live in Tucson, chaparral just grows wild all over the place The chaparral plants just seem endless...) But it's not just good against cancer: Chaparral is also a powerful anti-bacterial and anti-viral medicine.
In the paragraphs below, you'll find an amazing...
Men not being informed about low benefits and high risks of PSA prostate cancer screeningBy S. L. Baker, October 15 2009
(NaturalNews) Regular readers of NaturalNews know that recent studies have found little if any benefit to prostate cancer screening tests (http://www.naturalnews.com/026787_cancer_Prostate_prostate_cancer.html). What's more, although about one in six men will be diagnosed with the disease during their lifetime, only one in 35 will actually die from prostate cancer -- and the latest research shows that a diagnosis of the disease does not automatically mean any treatment is needed at all (http://www...
Growth Hormone Restores Muscle Strength in AdultsBy David Gutierrez, October 15 2009
(NaturalNews) Treatment with growth hormone can restore muscle strength to adults with adult-onset growth hormone deficiency, according to a study conducted by researchers from Goteborg University in Sweden, and published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.
Growth hormone deficiency may occur in children -- usually due to genetic reasons -- or in adults -- usually due to tumors of the pituitary gland. Roughly one in every 10 million adults suffers from adult-onset growth...

Stinging Nettles: So Many Cures that You Will Lose CountBy Barbi Trejo, October 21 2009
(NewsTarget) If the world knew all the true healing benefits of stinging nettles, they would be rushing to store it by the tons in their basements and they would be growing it instead of grass in their back yards. Stinging nettles is a greatly misunderstood herb that has been put aside for way too long. The entire plant is of value including the leaves, roots, stems and flowers. Stinging nettles would have been eliminated years ago from the many insects and animals eating this marvelous plant, had...
Strawberries: The Superfruit that Lowers Bad Cholesterol and Promotes Good HealthBy Ethan Huff, October 21 2009
(NewsTarget) The October issue of Nutrition Journal contains a study that reveals the cholesterol-lowering power of strawberries. Women with at least three features of metabolic syndrome were given a daily beverage containing 25 grams of freeze-dried strawberry powder. Following the four-week testing period, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels dropped an average of five and six percent, respectively, and plasma ellagic acid was significantly increased.

Use Traditional Chinese Medicine to Prevent or Recover from Swine Flu (H1N1)By Melissa Sokulski, October 20 2009
(NewsTarget) There is a lot of fear of Swine flu (H1N1) this season, but Traditional Chinese Medicine has effective techniques both to boost immunity and recover from flu, which are thousands of years old.
In Chinese Medicine, flu and colds are considered an invasion of the body of external pathogens, either cold or heat. Cold often turns to heat in the body, and we have signs of sore throat, fatigue, achiness, headache and cough. When our body`s Qi (Energy) - especially Wei Qi (Immune Energy...
Keep the Body Alkaline for Optimum HealthBy Alex Howard, October 20 2009
(NewsTarget) The term pH stands for potential hydrogen. It is the degree of concentration of hydrogen ions in a substance such as water, blood and food. pH is measured on a scale from 0 to 14. The lower the pH reading - the more acidic a substance is. The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline the body is. A pH of 7 is neutral. Ph balance is the balance of acid and alkaline in all fluids and cells throughout your body. Our bodies are alkaline by design and acid by function. This means that our...
How to Avoid Health Harming ParasitesBy Alex Howard, October 18 2009
(NewsTarget) Technically a parasite is any organism that lives off another organism, so this could include bacteria, fungi and viruses. However for the purposes of health, when talking about parasites we are referring to protozoa (single celled organisms), arthropods (insects) and worms that invade and feed off the host organism, often causing them harm. This can range from mild symptoms to serious illness, as well as chronic health issues.
Parasites can range from microscopic single cell protozoa...
The Wisdom of Symptoms: Respect the Intelligence of the Body to HealBy Dana Ullman, MPH, October 18 2009
(NewsTarget) Have you ever wondered what is that stuff coming out of your nose when you have a common cold? Such nasal discharges are composed of dead viruses that were killed by the body`s defenses, dead white blood cells that were killed as a result of the infection, and of a liquid substance known as mucus which the body deploys as a vehicle to remove this dead matter.
If you take a conventional over-the-counter drug for the common cold, these drugs "work" by reducing the body`s ability to...
Ghee: Stove Top Super Food from Mother of All Health SystemsBy Paul Fassa, October 18 2009
(NewsTarget) Ghee for thee is much better than butter for you. Ghee, made from butter, is considered a health food in Indian Ayurvedic (pronounced Ah-your-vadic) medicine, which has a 5000 year history predating even Chinese medicine. Ayurveda is continually gaining popularity in the western modern world. Ghee is the preferred cooking oil in India, and it is a healing food in Ayurvedic medicine. Though sometimes confused with clarified butter, ghee goes beyond clarified butter with more health benefits...
Treat Phobias with Hypnosis and the Rewind TechniqueBy Steve G. Jones, M.Ed., October 18 2009
(NewsTarget) Phobias are fairly common. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that approximately 8-18% of the American population suffers from a phobia. They are the most common form of an anxiety disorder. Among women of all ages, phobias are the most common form of mental disorder and among men older than 25, phobias are the second most common form of mental disorder. Hypnosis is an effective form of treatment of phobias (Kessler et al., 2005). Recently, a new technique, called the...
Why Flu Vaccines Do Not Work (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, October 17 2009
(NewsTarget) There are some interesting parallels between what we ingest and the consistent transformation of the flu virus. With the latest dietary guidelines calling for three servings of low fat or non fat dairy a day, the average family with two kids now consumes more than 85 gallons of milk a year. What the government does not tell you, nor enforces the removal of, is that most milk is filled with carcinogens and antibodies.

Lifestyle Changes can Make Difference to Those with Polycystic Ovaries (Opinion)By Alex Howard, October 17 2009
(NewsTarget) In each menstrual cycle, follicles grow on the ovaries. Within the follicles, eggs develop, one of which will be released into the Fallopian tubes (known as ovulation). The remaining follicles will degenerate. In the case of polycystic ovaries (PCOS), however, the ovaries are much bigger than normal, and there are a number of undeveloped follicles that appear in clumps rather like a bunch of grapes. This can become problematic when the cysts cause a hormonal imbalance which also affects...
Hypnosis is Made of Three Main Components: Absorption, Dissociation and Suggestion By Steve G. Jones, M.Ed., October 17 2009
(NewsTarget) Hypnosis is often called a 'trance state.' A trance state is an altered state that is different from normal wakening state characterized by beta waves in the brain. It is simply a heightened state of concentration and awareness. Most people achieve a hypnotic trance state every day and many times a day by driving a car or getting absorbed in a book. It is thought that people have a certain capacity for hypnotic trance. People who are able to have hypnotic experiences during their everyday...
The Mind-Body Connection Part IV: Grandmother was Right; Happiness Aids DigestionBy Alexander R. Lees, October 16 2009
(NewsTarget) There's one more piece to add to our healing journey, but before we do that lets briefly summarize the Mind-Body Connection Parts I, II & III. We learned that our thoughts can affect our health; what a neuropeptide is and how it affects our genes; and that our beliefs can affect the foods we eat. We now know that we can play a part in our own healing by tuning into our thoughts and adjusting them (if need be) so that they are more useful and beneficial to our well being. Doing so can...

Radon in Homes is the Second Leading Cause of Lung CancerBy Tom Mosakowski, October 15 2009
(NewsTarget) It is well known that the main cause of lung cancer among smokers is their cigarettes, but unbeknownst to many is that this cancer develops in a large number of nonsmokers. The leading cause of lung cancer for nonsmokers is exposure to radon in the home. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 3-14% of lung cancer cases are caused by low- and medium-level exposure to radon in homes. This makes it the second leading cause of lung cancer (1).

Why You Should Say No to GMOs (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, October 15 2009
(NewsTarget) Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are the latest travesty thrust upon an unsuspecting public by the greedy, control minded corporations that see the Almighty Sign ($$) as the ultimate in achieving the highest "bottom line" possible. If you control the food supply you control the people. If you control the people, then ultimately they will work for you and their money is yours.

How Cleansing Cures Cancer: One Woman's StoryBy Allison Biggar, October 15 2009

All of these treatments have a harrowing effect on the body opening it up to a whole host of other problems.
Holistic health practitioners, on the other hand, will often recommend detoxification methods such as cleansing to eliminate cancer from the...
Change Lifestyle and Rebalance an Underactive ThyroidBy Alex Howard, October 15 2009
(NewsTarget) The thyroid gland lies in the neck, just below the Adam`s apple. It produces the hormone thyroxin which controls the rate of metabolism in the body. The thyroid gland is also the body`s internal thermostat; it controls the hormones which control the speed the body burns calories and uses energy. If the thyroid gland under-produces thyroxin, it can slow down all metabolic processes in the body. This can lead to fatigue, weight gain and sensitivity to the cold that many sufferers of low...
