 Happy Thanksgiving from the Health Ranger and the entire NaturalNews staffBy Mike Adams, November 24 2011
(NaturalNews) Enjoy a very, very happy Thanksgiving! You've earned time with your family, away from the rat race of work. We all have so much to be thankful for right now, so it seems appropriate to have a holiday that celebrates it.
What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
I don't even know where to begin. At the metaphysical level, I'm thanksful for the Creator, for the existence of our universe and for the consciousness we have mysteriously attained. On a more mundane level, I'm thankful...
 'Green' debacle: Tens of thousands of abandoned wind turbines now litter American landscapeBy Jonathan Benson, November 24 2011
(NaturalNews) Literal beacons of the "green" energy movement, giant wind turbines have been one of the renewable energy sources of choice for the US government, which has spent billions of taxpayer dollars subsidizing their construction and use across the country. But high maintenance costs, high rates of failure, and fluctuating weather conditions that affect energy production render wind turbines expensive and inefficient, which is why more than 14,000 of them have since been abandoned.

Mysterious white goo repeatedly found blanketing cancer-stricken Turkish city -- are chemtrails to blame?By Ethan A. Huff, November 24 2011
(NaturalNews) Residents of Dilovasi, an industrial suburb just outside of Istanbul, Turkey, have been looking for answers concerning a mysterious substance that, on numerous occasions, has been found covering cars, trees, clotheslines, and vegetable gardens throughout the city. Milliyet, a Turkish newspaper, reports that government officials are currently trying to identify the source of this sticky goo, which has reportedly made a number of people ill and ruined local crops.

 Study: Children drink same amount of soda regardless of whether or not it is available at schoolBy Jonathan Benson, November 24 2011
(NaturalNews) Some school districts across the country have been trying to curb consumption of soda and other sugary beverages among their students by banning access to these products on school property. But a new study out of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) suggests that these efforts might be largely fruitless because children, who attend soda-free schools, end up consuming the same amount of soda elsewhere.
Daniel Taber and his colleagues at UIC surveyed 6,900 fifth- and eighth...
 Is DOJ cultural exchange program exploiting foreign students for profit, sweatshop labor?By Jonathan Benson, November 24 2011
(NaturalNews) Every year, thousands of students from countries around the world enroll in seasonal exchange programs that allow them to work in the US for the summer, learn better English, and get a taste of American culture for their own enrichment. But a group of foreign students working at a Hershey chocolate factory in rural Pennsylvania says that the program is actually exploiting students for profit and sweatshop labor.
According to the Washington Post (WP), John Bilan, a student from Romania...
 Your baby monitor may not be protecting your childBy Lenette Nakauchi, November 24 2011
(NaturalNews) As a parent, you certainly only want what is best for your child. Unfortunately, today's highly technological society may be providing you with ways to safeguard your children that can actually harm them. When shopping for products to help keep your baby safe, it may be difficult to differentiate between products that truly protect your child and those that do not. Baby monitors, especially, are known to expose children to radiation that can be very harmful to their development.

 10 outlandish things the 'scientific' controllers have in mind for you in the near futureBy Mike Adams, November 23 2011
(NaturalNews) What corporate-driven "science" has in mind for the future of humanity is far different from the dreamy utopian landscape that's been portrayed by the mainstream media. To hear the corporate-run media tell it, science is always "good" for humanity. Scientific achievements are always called "advances" and not "setbacks," even though many of them have proven to be disastrous for humanity (atomic bombs, for example, or GMOs).
While pure science is, indeed, a necessary component of any...
 Scientist deliberately 'militarizes' flu strain in deadly bioterrorism experimentBy Ethan A. Huff, November 23 2011
(NaturalNews) For years, health officials from around the world have been warning that the H5N1 avian flu virus, which is currently not a threat, will one day mutate into a deadly, pandemic strain. But now their predictions -- or warnings, depending on how you look at it -- could come true, as a European scientist has genetically altered H5N1 to effectively spread between mammals.
NPR reports that Dr. Ron Fouchier from Erasmus Medical Centre in the Netherlands announced at a recent flu conference...
 Does green tea have caffeine? Seven things you need to knowBy Tara Green, November 23 2011
(NaturalNews) If you want to completely eliminate caffeine from your diet, you will have to add green tea to your list of forbidden foods. However, if you merely want to reduce your caffeine intake, you may want to substitute green tea for coffee as your morning pick-me-up beverage. Consider these facts about green tea:
1. As long as the number of cups you drink remains the same, replacing your morning coffee with a cup of green tea will reduce your caffeine intake by about 70%. One cup of coffee...
 Garlic oil compound found to offer heart protectionBy Jonathan Benson, November 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Researchers from the Emory University (EU) School of Medicine in Atlanta, Ga., have discovered a natural compound derived from garlic oil, known as diallyl trisulfide, that protects against heart damage. When taken after a heart attack, during cardiac surgery, or as a treatment for heart failure, this powerful compound was found to reduce tissue damage by 61 percent.
David Lefer, PhD, professor of surgery at EU and director of the school's Cardiothoracic Surgery Research Laboratory...
 Amazing bee products that cure and protectBy Paul Fassa, November 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Honey Bee pollen, propolis, and Royal Jelly are considered super foods. There are those who swear by their rejuvenating and energizing benefits. And there are some who dismiss those claims while mentioning allergic reaction dangers. This article intends to shed some light on those honeybee products.

Bee pollen is a granular composite of pollen from various plants and flowers compacted with a sticky substance from the bee. It's usually collected by...
 Doctor says government should implement 'cap and trade' tax scheme on junk foodBy Ethan A. Huff, November 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Junk food consumption is partly responsible for the rampant disease and obesity epidemic that plagues the US. But rather than focus on ways to rid the food supply of the specific toxic additives and processes that promote disease and obesity, a Harvard Medical School (HMS) doctor is urging the federal government to treat "junk food" like it does pollution, and implement a "cap and trade" type tax system on foods that are high in sugar, fat, and salt.
Dr. Kristina Lewis from the HMS...
 Teen violence linked to sugary soft drink consumptionBy Elizabeth Walling, November 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Teenagers, who are heavy soda drinkers, are more violent and carry more weapons, according to a new study from the University of Vermont. In the past, parents have been told too much soda could set their kids up for obesity and diabetes, but now researchers say soft drink beverages are linked to even more disturbing problems like violent behavior and carrying knives and guns.
Does Sugary Soda Make Violent Kids?Published in an October 2011 online issue of Injury Prevention, the study...
Chiropractic care improves type I diabetes (case study)By Dr. David Jockers, November 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Over 3 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with type I diabetes. This disorder is considered an auto-immune condition where the immune system destroys the insulin producing Beta cells of the pancreas. A new case study showed how chiropractic adjustments dramatically improved a 4 year old child's ability to manage this disorder.
A large UK study has revealed that type 1 diabetes has increased 5-fold in children less than 5 years of age between the years of 1985...
 Trickle-down tyranny - why ordinary people in positions of local power are adopting tactics of tyrantsBy Mike Adams, November 22 2011
(NaturalNews) When I read a story yesterday about an 89-year-old woman being water-boarded by nursing home staff over an argument about ice cream, I knew something terrible was amiss across the American landscape. Spontaneous acts of tyranny have been cropping up lately like cancer tumors: a food tyrant in Nevada raids a farm picnic and orders everyone to destroy their food (http://www.naturalnews.com/034125_food_freedom_picnic.html); student protesters in California get pepper-sprayed by thuggish...
 McDonald's dumps McMuffin egg supplier after investigation reveals 'significant' and 'serious' health violationsBy Ethan A. Huff, November 22 2011
(NaturalNews) Fast-food giant McDonald's is once again in the media limelight after it was recently revealed that its West Coast egg supplier has been engaged in "significant and serious violations," according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). McDonald's officially ended its relationship with Minnesota-based Sparboe Farms after an undercover investigation exposed severe animal abuse and filthy conditions at the company's Vincent, Iowa, facility.
For years, Sparboe Farms, the fifth...
 Citizens for Health launches initiative to fight Corn Refiners Association fraudulent HFCS campaignBy Jonathan Benson, November 22 2011
(NaturalNews) The Corn Refiners Association (CRA) has been busy the past few years trying to salvage the reputation of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a heavily-processed chemical sweetener derived from corn starch that a growing number of Americans are now seeking to avoid for health reasons. The industry's latest marketing stunt involves renaming HFCS to "corn sugar" in order to make the additive sound healthier and more appealing to the public.
Many NaturalNews readers will recall CRA's ridiculous...
 Green tea supplements prevent flu better than vaccinationBy Ethan Evers, November 22 2011
(NaturalNews) Flu season is now in full swing and seasonal vaccinations are being pushed from every corner. Nonetheless, a recent clinical trial showed that green tea-based supplements reduced the risk of flu by 75%. This is far better than the 60% risk reduction recently reported in the Lancet for vaccinations. Given that green tea provides a host of other health benefits and none of the risks of injections, it would appear to be a far superior alternative to vaccination.

 Some conventional doctors now discriminating against patients who choose not to vaccinate their childrenBy Ethan A. Huff, November 22 2011
(NaturalNews) There are still many individuals in modern society, including doctors, that cling to the notion that if medical authorities say it is good for you, then it must be. And this blind allegiance to Western medicine has created a climate of intolerance towards those that refuse vaccinations, for instance, which has resulted in some doctors actually "firing" patients who make this personal choice for their families.

 Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA improve insulin resistance and boost cardiovascular healthBy John Phillip, November 22 2011
(NaturalNews) Compelling evidence now exists to demonstrate that heart disease is largely caused by the proliferation of increased levels of small, dense LDL cholesterol particles that have become oxidized in the blood and of abnormalities relating to insulin resistance. Both factors combine to deal a potentially deadly punch to the vascular system, leading to metabolic stress, diabetes and increased risk for a heart attack. Published studies appearing in the journals Nutrition Review and Biological...
 Nutrition and genetics - Diet and breastfeeding affect brain function of childBy Amelia Bentrup, November 22 2011
(NaturalNews) Natural News readers are likely already aware that fish is considered "brain food" and affects cognitive function. However, until this time, little was known about the interaction between genetics and nutrition. During a recent conference held in Madrid, Spain, the European Commission-funded Nutrimenthe Project hosted a symposium on "Nutrition and Cognitive Function."
The results of the work of the Nutrimenthe Project and ALSPAC (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children) were...
Dietary supplements are fast becoming an endangered speciesBy PF Louis, November 22 2011
(NaturalNews) First the powers that be create a problem to get a reaction that gives them the green light to produce a solution to satisfy their ulterior motives. The problem, whether true or not, is presented through the media to also condition the public for accepting their desired solution.
A perfect example of this strategy has occurred as a backdrop for accepting the elimination of vitamins and supplements, which may occur sooner than you think.

 EU bans naked body scanners because of cancer risk, US continues to coerce travelers through themBy Jonathan Benson, November 21 2011
(NaturalNews) The European Commission has issued new guidelines for the use of naked body scanners at European airports. Only scanners that use millimeter wave technology, a type of low-energy radio wave that does not cause radioactive damage, will be permitted for use in the EU -- the backscatter X-ray variety commonly used in the US will be off limits due to safety concerns.
Unlike the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which continues to insist that the backscatter machines are...
 Vitamin D3 does even more than publicized - it enhances mental healthBy Paul Fassa, November 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Most of us know that vitamin D3 helps prevent almost anything from flu to cancer by strengthening our immune systems. But little has been publicized about D3's potential for preventing or getting out of depression. Recent studies link D3 deficiencies to depression. And there is some, who speculate how D3's physiological protections directly affect moods.

 Study: Probiotics help protect gut from radiation damageBy Jonathan Benson, November 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Cancer patients undergoing radiation treatments or individuals looking to protect themselves against general radiation damage can look to probiotics for help, according to a new study. Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo., have found that radiation therapy patients who take probiotics prior to getting blasted can gain intestinal radioprotective benefits.
For their study, published in the online journal Gut, Dr. William F. Stenson and his...
 Three-minute presentation given by local resident convinces several Rolla, Mo., officials to end water fluoridationBy Jonathan Benson, November 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Sometimes all it takes is a single individual to instigate positive change. The Rolla Daily News (RDN) in Rolla, Mo., reports that after one local resident gave a three-minute presentation about the dangers of fluoride at a recent city council meeting, two city council members expressed their support for the removal of fluoride from the city's water supply.
Though an official decision on the matter has not yet been reached, George Howell, who lives just outside of Rolla, got the...
 Health basics: What are GMOs?By S. D. Wells, November 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Molecular engineers working in laboratories for Monsanto, the giant American biotech company, are gene-splicing vegetable seedlings with poisonous pesticides and herbicides so the plants are inherently protected from the insects and worms that might damage them. The majority of products Americans eat daily contain some form of GMO soy, corn, canola (rapeseed) oil or cotton seed oil. Research shows that consuming the popular herbicide/pesticide Roundup leads to the mutation of cells...
The Magician Who Could Not Make Homeopathy DisappearBy Dana Ullman, November 21 2011
(NaturalNews) A campaign of disinformation on homeopathic medicine has been very active in United Kingdom and in the United States, and my previous article at this website provided some detail about this effort.
Perhaps the leading opponent to homeopathy in the United States is the magician James Randi. Magicians use various tricks to make things disappear, and Mr. Randi is working hard at making homeopathy disappear... however, to be a successful magician one must learn to fool and deceive people...
 Crashing into the futureBy Mark Sircus., AC, OMD, November 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Things are not looking too good for us human beings. Confidence that conditions can improve is plummeting almost by the week in financial and political circles. At this point most of us have no idea what is going to come next. World leaders do not seem up to the task of governing humanity and there is no one standing around ready to take their places except a new crop of the same even more dedicated to world government and fascism.
Confidence that conditions can improve is plummeting...
 In stunning show of bureaucratic idiocy, EU directive bans health claim that water prevents dehydrationBy Mike Adams, November 20 2011
(NaturalNews) The collection of medically-indoctrinated idiots known as the European Food Standards Authority has officially disallowed a product health claim that says water prevents dehydration.
This means the EU does not even recognize the therapeutic ability of water to reverse chronic dehydration. It makes you wonder: If water cannot treat dehydration, then what would they use instead? Vaccines?
The claim that was denied by the EFSA stated that "regular consumption of significant amounts...
 Monsanto partners with USAID to push GM corn in NepalBy Jonathan Benson, November 20 2011
(NaturalNews) The southeast Asian country of Nepal is once again having to fight against foreign interests that are trying to take over its agricultural system. Biotechnology giant Monsanto apparently has its sights set on bringing genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) to this sliver of a country just north of India, and it is allegedly working with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), a so-called humanitarian group, and officials in Nepal to make it happen.

 Congress pushes to classify pizza as a 'vegetable'By Ethan A. Huff, November 20 2011
(NaturalNews) In an absurd attempt to fight back at federal regulations that greatly limit the amount of junk food that can be served as part of government-funded school lunch programs, Congress has proposed a new spending bill that classifies pizza as a "vegetable." Reports indicate that the bill would allow for just two tablespoons of tomato paste to be considered a serving of vegetables.
Recommendations made by the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine back in 2009 for reforming...
 Are you obese? Do you smoke? Your company could soon penalize you with higher healthcare premiumsBy Jonathan Benson, November 20 2011
(NaturalNews) The US healthcare system is a mess, as both health insurance and medical treatment costs continue to soar exponentially year after year. But one way some companies are helping to address this dire situation is to begin penalizing workers that represent the biggest drain on the system (smokers and the obese) with higher healthcare premiums.
Reuters reports that Veridian Credit Union, a Waterloo, Iowa-based company, recently unveiled a new wellness and screening program aimed at helping...
Chiropractic improves creative thinkingBy Dr. David Jockers, November 20 2011
(NaturalNews) Creative thinking is one of the greatest human assets in that it initiates new thoughts and world changing ideas. Creativity is the ability to generate ideas of both novel and useful form to a particular social setting. Innovative thoughts inspire excitement and unlock the depths of human potential. New research has shown that chiropractic adjustments significantly improve the creative thought process.
Life is dull, bland and stale without the ability to be creative. The unrestricted...
 Applebees nutrition information - is it healthy to eat there?By Tara Green, November 20 2011
(NaturalNews) The Applebee's website is puzzlingly mum on the nutritional content of its food. On the surface, the franchise restaurant chain, with over 1,500 locations and a lengthy menu of mainstream American dishes, hardly seems mysterious. Yet on a nutritional level, advanced detective skills and a testing laboratory are needed to ferret out information about Applebee's food. Lacking those things, we gleaned what we could from their website to share information with readers. Decide for yourself...
TSA refuses to fulfill promise to conduct independent safety investigation of naked body scannersBy Jonathan Benson, November 19 2011
(NaturalNews) Not even a month after promising to conduct a legitimate, independent study on the safety of the illegal naked body scanners used in airports across the US, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator John Pistole is now saying that such a measure is unnecessary, and that it may not happen after all.
ProPublica reports that, despite myriad evidence that the privacy-invading machines can emit high levels of deadly ionizing radiation, Pistole has presented more rehashed...
 Saying no: Sheriffs fed up with worsening federal interference, bureaucracyBy J. D. Heyes, November 19 2011
(NaturalNews) Adding a new wrinkle to the phrase, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not taking it anymore," several California sheriffs, as well as one from Oregon, say they aren't cow-towing to the federal leviathan anymore.
Last month, at the Yreka fairgrounds in northern California, the sheriffs - who, of course, are elected by the people - gathered with a large group to discuss what to do about Big Brother and his consistent meddling in state and local affairs.
Speaking of the federal bureaucracy...
Occupy GMOs: Protesters block access to manufacturing plant filled with animal 'Frankenfeed'By Jonathan Benson, November 19 2011
(NaturalNews) Tired of the quiet import and use of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) in the animal food supply throughout Europe, a group of protesters in France has decided to make a statement by blockading the entrances of the Glon Sanders animal feed plant in Saint-Gerard, Morbihan, France. The company's more than 200 employees have been unable to come to work for some time now, which means that production has stopped at the plant, and its offices remain empty.
Most of Europe is staunchly...
 Fascist police state: Cops now arresting journalists at OWS protestsBy Ethan A. Huff, November 19 2011
(NaturalNews) A recent New York Police Department (NYPD) sweep at Lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park, where hundreds of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters had been occupying and living in tents, took with it several journalists who were simply there to document what was taking place. CBS 2 News in New York reports that a handful of journalists were arrested along with about 200 OWS protesters, even though they had done nothing wrong.
The New York Daily News (NYDN) reports that during the raid, which...
Discover the superfood power of spirulinaBy Dr. David Jockers, November 19 2011
(NaturalNews) Foods that have an incredible array of health benefits that go well beyond just their nutrient value are considered 'super-foods.' The blue-green algae spirulina is one of the most primitive forms of life on the planet. This algae is known for its extraordinary survival adaptations. Spirulina is considered a superfood due to its unique level of nutrient density.
Spirulina are single celled organisms that survive by producing their energy through photosynthesis. These algae are in...
Fight cancer with mistletoeBy Ethan Evers, November 19 2011
(NaturalNews) The Season to stand under the mistletoe is almost here, so it is fitting that the Fifth International Mistletoe Symposium has just been held in Germany to review the latest findings in mistletoe therapy for cancer. Despite past attempts of the cancer industry to discredit this valuable natural medicine, so many positive reports are now emerging that today one popular conventional medicine website admits: "recent systematic reviews point to the accumulating evidence in support of mistletoe...
 New study reveals expensive MRIs pushed on women for breast cancer screening have no medical benefitBy S. L. Baker, November 18 2011
(NaturalNews) The use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, better known simply as MRI, for breast cancer screening is increasing and so is its use in guiding breast surgery when cancer is discovered. Obviously, that means healthcare costs are soaring, too, as more and more women are advised to get MRIs in addition to mammograms. The push started in 2007. At that time, the New York Times reported a breast MRI cost $1,000 to $2,000, and sometimes more -- at least 10 times the cost of mammography. So for...
Maine officials violate local food freedom ordinance by suing man for selling raw milk from farmBy Ethan A. Huff, November 18 2011
(NaturalNews) In response to the escalating food tyranny against American farmers by state and federal officials, the town of Blue Hill, Maine, passed a local ordinance back in April that asserted the right of its citizens to grow, sell, buy, and consume the food of their choice (http://naturalnews.com/032142_food_freedom_Maine.html). But state officials in Maine apparently have no regard for Blue Hill's sovereignty law, and are now suing a local Blue Hill resident for selling food and raw milk from...
 Subway nutrition information - it may not be as healthy as you thinkBy Tara Green, November 18 2011
(NaturalNews) Subway presents itself as a healthy alternative to eating burgers. Compared to most fast food restaurants, the Subway franchises offer more menu choices which are lower in calories, carbs, fats and sodium. Also, the company website offers more complete nutritional facts than many of the other well-known fast food establishments. However, like many food purveyors, Subway ignores the issue of GMOs and hormones.
