 The top five superfoods to always keep stocked in your pantryBy PF Louis, May 22 2012
(NaturalNews) What is a superfood? While there is no specific definition for the term, a superfood is generally recognized by a few characteristics: high nutritional density and low calories, high fiber, high in omega-3 fatty acids, lots of antioxidant activity, and rich with phytochemicals that have the potential to prevent or even reverse disease.
You could say that the hallmark of a superfood would be getting more nutrition without synthetic supplements while eating less. Eating less is healthy...
 Medicinal herb ginger helps protect against the effect of chemical parabensBy Celeste M. Smucker, MPH, PhD, May 22 2012
(NaturalNews) Traditional healers often use ginger to treat ailments ranging from nausea to arthritis pain. Recent studies highlight another use for ginger, the amelioration of the impact of parabens, a chemical widely used in the food and beverage industry and as a preservative in personal care products, drugs, and cosmetics. Parabens have been in the news recently thanks to studies which show the vast majority of Americans show signs of exposure. If ginger does indeed reduce parabens' impact that...
 FDA accused of mass homicide of one million Americans each decadeBy Ethan A. Huff, May 22 2012
(NaturalNews) The biggest threat to America today is not terrorists or global warming, but the mass genocide of Americans who die every year at the hands of the corrupt U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In a recent report, investigative reporter Jon Rappoport uncovers the dirty truth that FDA-approved drugs kill at least 100,000 people every single year -- the FDA actually lists this figure on its own website -- and the agency is doing absolutely nothing about this disastrous trend.

 Drinking high-fructose corn syrup really does make you stupidBy Jonathan Benson, May 22 2012
(NaturalNews) If you think eating and drinking foods that contain high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) every now and again will not do you that much harm, think again. A new study out of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has found that consuming HFCS can actually destroy memory, slow mental function, and ultimately deteriorate brain performance.
For their study, a team of researchers first trained a group of rats to navigate a complicated maze for five days, and then divided this group...
 Give your psychiatrist a diagnosis of his own: Six disorders to choose fromBy Mike Bundrant, May 22 2012
(NaturalNews) Given the controversy over the legitimacy of the Diagnostics and Statistics Manual (DSM) used for psychiatric diagnosis, I thought I'd clear things up by submitting the following revisions. These carefully considered and researched new labels should do the trick, as they are intended to make the DSM more balanced by offering the patient an opportunity to diagnose the doctor.
If you are a doctor and are offended by these proposed DSM additions, then they certainly apply to you. If...
 Birth defects - could Epilim be the new Thalidomide?By D Holt, May 22 2012
(NaturalNews) After the scandal of Thalidomide, it was said that important lessons were learned, and that it should never happen again. Now it comes to light that another set of drugs are causing birth defects, and have been since the seventies.
Thalidomide was a "calming" drug used in the fifties to treat morning sickness, and led to birth deformities such as shortened or missing limbs, impaired hearing and eyesight, and internal injuries. This resulted in claims which cost millions of dollars...
 Resveratrol may be the missing link to prevent and even treat Alzheimer's diseaseBy John Phillip, May 22 2012
(NaturalNews) Incidence of Alzheimer's disease cases continue to explode at an unprecedented rate as processed food diets, overweight and obesity become the norm for middle and senior aged adults in the US and most western societies. By the year 2050, it's projected that 13.2 million adults will suffer from this degenerative disease that ranks as the sixth leading cause of death, with many suffering early signs of the condition at earlier ages. Any natural compound that can be shown to prevent or...
 Can 5-HTP really curb depression and anxiety?By Danna Norek, May 22 2012
(NaturalNews) Depression and anxiety remain two of the most pervasive mental health issues in American culture today. We currently have more medications than we've ever had to treat these conditions along with more natural, gentler alternatives like 5-HTP, St. John's Wort, and others. Yet it seems both depression and anxiety have ballooned over the past several decades for reasons that can only be speculated upon.
5-HTP is a natural alternative to anti-anxiety medications. It can also be useful...
 Big Ag, Monsanto take over research universities and turn them into pro-industry propaganda machinesBy Jonathan Benson, May 21 2012
(NaturalNews) Back in the old days before food and agricultural corporations consolidated into the behemoths we know them as today, agricultural institutions of higher learning were dedicated to conducting unbiased research into cutting-edge food production and crop systems that benefited society as a whole. But today, these former "land-grant" universities have largely mutated into pro-industry, propaganda machines funded and controlled by corporate agro-giants like Monsanto that steer research...
 New technology can detect as little as 0.1 percent GMO contamination in crops, foodBy Jonathan Benson, May 21 2012
(NaturalNews) Identifying the presence of genetically-modified (GM) contaminants in food and food crops could soon become a whole lot easier and more accurate. Researchers from Lumora, a molecular diagnostics specialist company originating out of Cambridge University, have developed a unique method of illuminating and analyzing DNA strands that allows them to detect GM contaminants at levels as low as 0.1 percent, which is an astoundingly accurate rate.

 Should the FDA approve Big Pharma marketing drug treatments to healthy people?By Melissa Melton, May 21 2012
(NaturalNews) This week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will consider allowing an anti-HIV drug to be promoted to otherwise healthy, HIV-free people as a purely preventative measure for the first time. If approved, Gilead Sciences will be able to market Truvada to anyone who might be considered "at risk" for contracting the disease based on lifestyle and other factors (such as sexual orientation). Normally, HIV-infected patients take Truvada to slow viral replication. Under the new guidelines...
 Unsafe Immunization Practices: Creating a Silent Epidemic in Developing Countries?By Rosemary Mathis, Vice President of Victim Support, SANE VAX, INC., May 21 2012
(NaturalNews) According to the World Health Organization, immunization providers are responsible for 1.3 million early deaths each year in emerging countries, due to using needles and syringes multiple times without sterilizing them. But, it doesn't stop there. Approximately 21.7 million people every year who line up for vaccines and other injections with these unsterilized needles and syringes are being infected with Hepatitis B. An additional 2 million are infected with Hepatitis C, and still another...
 Fascinating documentary exposes cancer industry's death agenda: Cut Poison BurnBy Ethan A. Huff, May 21 2012
(NaturalNews) As free as many Americans might think they are, there are certain glaring aspects of American life for which individuals are not free to make their own choices, and cancer treatment is one of them. In the sobering documentary Cut Poison Burn, filmmaker Wayne Chesler brings to light the sinister nature of the multi-billion dollar cancer industry, its suppression of any real pursuit of a cure, and its stranglehold on medicine that restricts individuals from choosing their own personalized...
 Two all natural supplements for depressionBy John McKiernan, May 21 2012
(NaturalNews) When most people believe they are experiencing symptoms of depression the first thing they do is run to the doctors office, hoping to be prescribed a pharmaceutical that will magically cure all of their symptoms and make them happy again. Similarly, many doctors are quick to write prescriptions for anti-depressants while neglecting to find the actual root cause of the depression symptoms.
The fact is that many people do not respond well to prescribed antidepressants and many others...

 Replace coffee with rooibos tea to naturally boost energy and healthBy Willow Tohi, May 3 2012
(NaturalNews) Benjamin Franklin famously said, "In all things, moderation." When it comes to coffee, there are worse things you could be putting in your body, (assuming you are using organic, fair trade coffee). Still, it's a good practice to take a break from anything you consume a lot of, a couple of times a year for a couple of weeks. So if you're looking to get off of coffee, or just take a break from it for a while, rooibos tea is a nice alternative with lots of health benefits.

 An unplanned diet wastes the effort of a hard workoutBy Raw Michelle, May 21 2012
(NaturalNews) An understanding of dietary sources of nutrients is integral to organizing and implementing a dietary plan. For many sports enthusiasts, whose motivation may be bulk strength and aerobic fitness rather than the elusive balance of health, diet may not be a pressing concern. In a televised interview, NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, known as "The Great One", told reporters that his key to playing a strong game of hockey was to consume four foot-long hotdogs right before each game. Athletics...
 Three out of four Americans want to end medical marijuana raidsBy Jonathan Benson, May 21 2012
(NaturalNews) The federal government's continued "War on Drugs" is no longer getting a warm reception from the vast majority of Americans. A recent poll conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research (MDPR) reveals that three out of every four Americans now oppose needless federal prosecution of medical marijuana dispensaries, growers, sellers and users in states where medical marijuana has been legalized.
The poll included 1,000 individuals of varying ages and demographics from all across the country...
 Government tyranny: Illinois Department of Agriculture secretly destroys beekeeper's bees and 15 years of research proving Monsanto's Roundup kills beesBy Jonathan Benson, May 20 2012
(NaturalNews) An Illinois beekeeper with more than a decade's worth of expertise about how to successfully raise organic, chemical-free bees is the latest victim of flagrant government tyranny. According to the Prairie Advocate, Terrence "Terry" Ingram of Apple River, Ill., owner of Apple Creek Apiaries, recently had his bees and beehives stolen from him by the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDofA), as well as more than 15 years' worth of research proving Monsanto's Roundup to be the cause of...
 Pink slime, meat glue and more: Public reactions force Big Food to make changesBy J. D. Heyes, May 20 2012
(NaturalNews) Did you know a kid in junior high that, on a dare, would eat just about anything you dared him to eat, as long as you gave him your dessert? I did; the guy ate just about everything - bugs, earthworms, snails. He even ate a cockroach one time, no fooling. But he sure liked the school's chocolate pudding.
With that in mind, consider some of the things people are finding in food these days - not on a dare, but as byproducts of food preparation. Things like pink slime, food coloring...
 Big pharma 'research' suggests all people over 50 should take statins every day for lifeBy D Holt, May 20 2012
(NaturalNews) Big pharma propaganda has reached a new height in the UK this week, with the release of a new study that appears to show the benefits of taking statins. The report goes on to claim that everyone over 50 years of age should be taking the drug on a daily basis, for the rest of their lives.
According to the report, the benefits of the statins are to reduce the risks of heart attack and stroke. It then goes on to say that the drug is effective on patients who are classed as not being...
 The risk of a heart attack is on your plateBy Jonathan Landsman, May 20 2012
(NaturalNews) Do you want to dramatically change the course of your life? I'm talking about avoiding a massive heart attack, ineffective stent procedures or (painful) bypass surgeries. Believe it or not, you CAN unclog arteries, lower blood pressure and improve your circulation by simply eating a better diet.
It's time to update medical wisdom
In 1967, the first coronary bypass surgery was performed and everybody thought it was a "miracle" in medicine. Of course, 10 year later, the (less invasive...
 Popular homeopathic cold and flu remedy Oscillococcinum under attack in CanadaBy Jonathan Benson, May 19 2012
(NaturalNews) The pseudo-scientific elite in Canada have launched a new crusade against homeopathy, this time targeting Boiron Laboratories, creator of the popular Oscillococcinum, a cold and flu remedy, and Shoppers Drug Mart, a marketer of this and other Boiron treatments. According to reports, the crux of a new class-action lawsuit alleges that Oscillococcinum is mislabeled because it does not contain measurable amounts of its stated active ingredients.
The concept behind how homeopathy works...
'Superbug' malaria mosquitoes becoming resistant to insecticidesBy Jonathan Benson, May 19 2012
(NaturalNews) The government's solution to almost every environmental, pest, and agricultural problem is to simply throw more chemicals at it. But this misguided -- and upon further review, sinister -- approach always fails to actually solve the underlying issue, as is once again being evidenced by the rapid rise of malaria-carrying, "superbug" mosquitoes that have developed resistance to the insecticide chemicals that were supposedly designed to eradicate them.
The unmitigated spread of malaria...
 Added sugar is the number one culprit in the American health crisisBy Linn Cole, May 19 2012
(NaturalNews) Cancer. Heart disease. High blood pressure. Obesity. Diabetes. Premature aging. What we take for granted as hallmarks of life in the most affluent country on Earth have been popularly linked to everything from genetics to fast food. What if the real answer is so straightforward it's as near at hand as the closest bottle of Coke? Mounting research pinpoints both cane sugar and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as definitive agents in all of the "epidemics" this generation has become painfully...
 Gluten sensitivity in mothers linked to mental health issues for the childBy David Gutierrez, May 19 2012
(NaturalNews) Children born to women with gluten sensitivity may be at a higher risk of developing schizophrenia or other psychiatric diseases later in life, according to a study conducted by researchers from the Karolinska Institute and Johns Hopkins Children's Center and published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
The researchers emphasized that their study does not prove that gluten sensitivity actually causes schizophrenia, and noted that avoiding gluten while pregnant might eliminate...
See what a little 'dew of the sea' can do for you - rosemary herbBy Kelly Pepper, D.C., May 19 2012
(NaturalNews) One sprig of rosemary, the "dew of the sea", can grow into a burly, woody, shrubby plant. Its petite green leaves prove that great things come in small packages. Through the centuries, rosemary has adorned brides, laid beneath pillows as a sleep enhancer, been eaten as a tonic for the digestive tract, and smelled for its promise of memory boost. As such, recent scientific studies are investigating the marvels crammed in its leaves, its extracts, and its oils.

 Try these natural foods and herbs for treating upset stomach, ulcersBy Jonathan Benson, May 19 2012
(NaturalNews) If you are one of the millions of people that suffers from a stomach ulcer, or even if you just occasionally get an upset stomach after eating, there is hope beyond simply taking antacids or other pharmaceutical drugs, all of which merely address the symptoms of the problem rather than the cause. Instead, you may want to try incorporating one or more of these all-natural, stomach-healing foods and herbs into your everyday diet for lasting, curative relief.

 Becoming whole by letting go of your partsBy Mike Bundrant, May 19 2012
(NaturalNews) My colleague Jake Eagle of Green Psychology, author of the popular free e-book Why Smart People Struggle to be Happy, once related the following:
In the world of mental health and psychotherapy -- as well as many other places -- we often talk about ourselves as if we're made up of a bunch of different parts. We have mature parts and immature parts, wounded parts and angry parts, embarrassed parts and scared parts. It's remarkably common to hear people in everyday conversations referring...
 Obesity trims organ donor rollsBy Scott Morefield, May 19 2012
(NaturalNews) Thanks to America's rapidly expanding waistlines, it seems the approximately 92,000 patients currently waiting for a kidney donor will have to wait even longer. According to a new study conducted by researchers at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine and Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, out of 104 people who visited the Long Island transplant center intending to donate a kidney, 23 percent were morbidly obese, with body mass indexes (BMI) of more than 35.

Fighting Fat, Fat, the Water Rat (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, May 14 2012
(NaturalNews) Anyone who has tried to lose weight and who confronts the issue honestly, will have to admit that they actually have the power to succeed. Unfortunately, they are up against some heavy odds.
First, you have the marketing of cheap, calorie-laden foods that are pitched to everyone. Next, you have society's tools and distractions, which keep them sedentary. Last but not least, you have the TV remote.
Despite these, which we ultimately can combat, the high obesity toll, coupled with...

 Medical Board of California bullies couple into shutting down colon hydrotherapy practice, entire profession now at riskBy Ethan A. Huff, May 4 2012
(NaturalNews) "Our sole source of income and our livelihoods, both taken from us in an instant," Shea Baird explained to me, struggling to fight back the tears. This veteran colon hydrotherapist and her husband Stephen Barlow are the latest victims of the medical establishment's rogue authoritarianism, as they were recently coerced under threat of imprisonment into signing a cease and desist order that prohibits them from further conducting their practice, even though they have done nothing wrong...
 The US government is collecting DNA from kids, whether or not they are involved in criminal activityBy J. D. Heyes, May 18 2012
(NaturalNews) The only worse thing about an increasing number of police departments collecting DNA evidence from suspects they arrest - before they've ever been actually convicted of any crimes - is that courts are continuing to back this egregious violation of civil liberties. So it was only a matter of time before the practice was expanded, so to speak, to cover all suspects, including children.
While local police haven't yet embraced this tactic, the federal government appears to be on board...
 Presidential campaign theme of 2012: More jobs and more zombies to work themBy S. D. Wells, May 18 2012
(NaturalNews) With increasing chemicals in food, medicine, and cosmetics, America is breeding zombies who go to work and pay taxes, but offer nothing to evolution, free thinking, or creative arts. Since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continuously approves and furthers the toxification of food and water with endocrine disrupters which cause birth defects and cancers in children, the U.S. is heading for a society of "futilitarianism," where citizens have a lack of a meaningful future and...
Green coffee bean extract is a powerful anti-oxidantBy Dr. David Jockers, May 18 2012
(NaturalNews) While most in society believe that coffee is bad for health this is only a half-truth. Pure green-coffee extract has become one of the top selling weight loss products on the market. Green coffee bean extract has some very good health and performance related benefits.
There are two major types of coffee plants; Arabica and Robusta. The highest quality green coffee bean extract comes from the Arabica plant which is higher in the polyphenol anti-oxidants chlorogenic and caffeic acids...
 Relax! It's just chemo..By Craig Stellpflug, May 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Relax! It's just chemo... In an enlightening study in Molecular Cancer Research, researchers found that anyone who gets stressed out before chemotherapy (and who wouldn't...) can awaken the stress protein HSF-1, or heat shock factor-1. This one "side effect" of chemotherapy alone makes the treatment worse than the disease by allowing cancer cells to repair themselves in spite of the poisonous chemo. Even when used "correctly", toxic chemotherapy drugs can kill you, destroy your digestive...
 Lawrence, Kansas, fights to end water fluoridationBy Jonathan Benson, May 18 2012
(NaturalNews) A health freedom advocate in Lawrence, Kansas, the sixth largest city in the state, is pushing to have artificial fluoride chemicals removed from his city's municipal water supply. Lawrence-area resident Richard Simms recently created a petition at Change.org that he hopes will garner enough signatures to convince city officials to follow the lead of hundreds of other towns and cities across North America that have nixed the poison from their water supplies in recent months.

 Freezing makes little impact on nutritional content of fresh produceBy Raw Michelle, May 18 2012
(NaturalNews) A recent study examined the nutritional disparity between foods that were fresh, frozen, dried or canned. This study is particularly important when examining the cost value of a food product. Canned vegetables are generally much cheaper, and are therefore a more common choice for lower income households. Fresh vegetables have the highest price and the shortest shelf life. It is well known that economic divides reflect on dietary options, and can manifest distinct patterns of disease...
 Wealth in Asia contributes to illegal poaching and smuggling of rhino hornsBy Fleur Hupston, May 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Man's mismanagement of the earth, its wildlife, and environment continues along its headlong path to destruction. This is evident in many African and Asian countries, where wildlife poaching continues to increase. In South Africa alone, in the first four months of 2012, nearly 200 rhinos have been killed for their horns. Conservation efforts are often not enough to counter the problem and corruption also mars efforts to curb the destruction of these magnificent animals.
Rhinos are...
 FBI wants a wire-tap-friendly 'back door' to all internet providersBy J. D. Heyes, May 18 2012
(NaturalNews) In this Information Age, the government threats to privacy just continue to cascade, as now the FBI wants Internet companies to install "back doors" into their services to allow electronic eavesdropping of users.
Specifically, the FBI wants the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, amended to require Internet platforms such as Facebook, as well as Web-based email programs like Gmail and Yahoo! to build back doors into their systems, so the FBI can access...
 The Ultimate Conspiracy: Eugenics and population control (opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, May 15 2012

 Forty million Japanese in 'extreme danger' of life-threatening radiation poisoning, mass evacuations likelyBy Ethan A. Huff, May 11 2012
(NaturalNews) Update: The following story contains portions of information that have been called into question, and that NaturalNews cannot confirm nor deny based on lack of a secondary source. The potential for a mass evacuation of Tokyo and other areas of Japan has been confirmed by multiple sources, but specific talks between Japan and Russia concerning the evacuation of 40 million Japanese people in the near future are unconfirmed.

 Action Alert: California legislature passes AB 2109, making it more difficult for parents to opt out of vaccines for their childrenBy Ethan A. Huff, May 11 2012
(NaturalNews) The medical establishment in California is quietly waging war against parental rights with a new legislative bill that will make it more difficult for parents to opt out of vaccines for their children. According to reports, the California State Assembly recently voted 44-19 to pass AB 2109, a bill that, if signed into law, will require that all parents who choose to opt their children out of vaccines for personal reasons obtain a signed waiver from a doctor of "health care practitioner...
 The best foods to eat for type-2 diabetesBy Aurora Geib, May 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Getting diagnosed with type-2 diabetes can do a lot of things to your perspective: Your life, your priorities, your family and even your food.

 The end of Modern Medicine has arrived, according to the WHOBy J. D. Heyes, May 17 2012
(NaturalNews) The day is coming when the host of antibiotics doctors currently use to fight off bacterial infections won't work anymore, leaving the world's population vulnerable to everything from scratches on your knee to disease, according to the United Nation's (UN) World Health Organization (WHO).
That's because bacteria are becoming so resistant to common antibiotics that the phenomenon will bring about the "end of modern medicine as we know it," warns Margaret Chan, the director-general...
 Common ingredient in soft drinks causes damage to brain functionBy D Holt, May 17 2012
(NaturalNews) The use of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been long associated with fatty liver disease, diabetes and increases in obesity, but a new study has investigated its effects on the brain. HFCS is an inexpensive ingredient added to fast food and fizzy drinks and is 6 times sweeter than sugar obtained from sugar cane.
