 OWS urges Americans to begin occupying foreclosed homesBy Ethan A. Huff, November 8 2011
(NaturalNews) It is the obvious next step against the federal government-slash-Wall Street financial scam against the American people. Occupy Wall Street's (OWS) Oakland chapter is urging Americans to embrace "Occupy Vacant Properties" (OVP), a move to literally occupy, en masse, homes across the country that have been foreclosed upon and are sitting vacant.
Now before some readers start to bemoan the supposed illegality of the idea, consider this -- the entire housing bubble collapse is a direct...

 Truth comes out: 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic 'deaths' of children were actually caused by MRSABy S. L. Baker, November 7 2011
(NaturalNews) Remember two years ago when every news show featured hysterical reports about the so-called H1N1 pandemic and how the supposed killer flu was striking down healthy kids? True, many previously healthy children became critically ill, developing severe pneumonia and respiratory failure. And some tragically died after being diagnosed with H1N1. But was that really the accurate explanation of what caused their death?

 Is yeast extract (a taste enhancing additive) lurking in your 'natural' foods?By Selena Keegan, November 7 2011
(NaturalNews) "Natural", "organic" and "healthy" are marketing terms to many food manufacturers.

 Warning - Your cordless phone may subject you to harmful levels of EMFsBy Lenette Nakauchi, November 7 2011
(NaturalNews) Electromagnetic fields, or EMFs, are areas of energy that form around all electrical appliances and devices. Your body is sensitive to electricity (some if its functions actually rely upon electric current), so it is understandable how you can be affected by the EMFs radiated by cells phones, microwaves, televisions, and other electrical devices. But is there one product that is worse than the others? One everyday item you may use that could be hurting your body? Yes. Research has indicated...

 Potential loophole in vaccine law could mandate vaccines in children during declared emergencyBy Greg Glaser, November 7 2011
(NaturalNews) In times of peace, every State in America allows exemptions from vaccines on religious, moral, and/or philosophical grounds, so vaccines are never technically mandatory. [1] Parents even have the power to assert the exemptions of their children. [2] The US government also admits that vaccine exemptions are available during both peacetime and during an emergency for parents and children alike. [3]
However, there is a potential loophole applied to children specifically that could theoretically...
FDA: Birth control drugs linked to 150 percent increased risk of deadly blood clotsBy Jonathan Benson, November 7 2011

 USDA gives half million in taxpayer dollars to AquaBounty to promote GM salmonBy Ethan A. Huff, November 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Biotechnology company AquaBounty has had quite a bit of trouble getting quick regulatory approval for its genetically-modified (GM) salmon, called AquAdvantage, because the "frankenfish" is not always sterile as claimed and could spread its corrupted genes into the wild. So in order to help move things along, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has awarded the company nearly $500,000 in taxpayer funds to conduct research on how to fully sterilize the fish, according to Grist.

 Unplugging from The Man, Part VBy Sherry L. Ackerman, Ph.D., November 5 2011
(NaturalNews) As we get deeper into Unplugging from the Man, we invariably come face-to-face with our addiction to petroleum. Sure, we like to sit around and do the "ain't it awful" with our peers, but we keep using gasoline. Classic addiction: I'll stop tomorrow. And, tomorrow never comes.
So, what's the solution? Stop pumping!! It's that simple.

 Is global warming 'over'? One scientist says major study used to defend global warming theory actually shows it is no longer occurringBy Ethan A. Huff, November 4 2011
(NaturalNews) The debate over whether or not so-called "global warming" is real, and whether or not human activity plays any role, will likely continue on for years to come. But one climate scientist says that even if past data suggests that global warming did occur many years in the past, today's data shows that it has since stopped, with global temperatures having remained stable for at least the past 13 years.

 12 striking contradictions between Adya Clarity and the core health principles of raw foods livingBy Mike Adams, November 3 2011
(NaturalNews) As recent events surrounding Adya Clarity (black mica extract) have revealed, a great many people within the raw food community departed from their usual advocacy of plant-based minerals and natural foods in a rush to consume (and promote, in some cases) a product made by dissolving rocks in chemically-manufactured sulfuric acid and then packaged in plastic bottles. This substance was sold as a dietary supplement accompanied by numerous claims that it would pull heavy metals out of...
 Omega-3 fats from fish oil and supplements prevent and slow arthritis progressionBy John Phillip, November 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Humans have been consuming omega-3 fats from natural fish, nut and seed sources for countless generations.

 Cancer doctors lack empathy for patientsBy S. L. Baker, November 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Treating cancer patients, who are suffering excruciating side effects from radiation and chemotherapy, is emotionally draining. But wouldn't you think someone who chose the profession of oncology would know this in advance and would have a lot of compassion for his or her patients? It turns out, that's not exactly true for many oncologists.
"Earlier studies have shown that oncologists respond to patient distress with empathy only about a quarter of the time," James A. Tulsky, M.D...
 Saying no to fluorideBy Mark Sircus., AC, OMD, November 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Americans and Brazilians, who are more exposed to fluoride than other populations, have a desperate need for more iodine.
