 Busted! Big Pharma epilepsy study rigged to push drug gabapentinBy S. L. Baker, June 27 2011
(NaturalNews) If you think being concerned over natural health issues means you automatically dismiss everything that mainstream medicine has to say - think again. Not only are many mainstream researchers coming up with evidence that nutrition and other natural therapies really are effective but now comes a report published in none other than Archives of Internal Medicine, a Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), that blows the lid off an unethical Big Pharma practice.

 Huge public outcry over TSA forcing 95-year-old cancer patient to remove adult diaperBy Mike Adams, June 27 2011
(NaturalNews) The TSA has once again shown itself to be an agency utterly lacking in respect for human dignity by forcing a 95-year-old cancer patient to remove her adult diaper during the screening procedure. Jean Weber, a leukemia patient, underwent the humiliating procedure at the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport where TSA agents, as usual, claim to be "protecting the public from terrorism." (You have to question the intelligence, obviously, of any federal employee who believes that terrorists...
 Monsanto trying to take over world seed supply, nation by nationBy Kaitlyn Moore, June 27 2011
(NaturalNews) He who controls the seed controls the food supply; and he who controls the food supply controls the world. There is no question that Monsanto is on a mission to monopolize the conventional seed market. In fact, they are steadfastly working towards the goal of creating a world where 100% of all commercial seeds are genetically modified and patented- basically a world where natural seeds are extinct.(http://www.naturalnews.com/029325_Monsanto_deception.html)

 Natural amino acids preferable to antibiotics for treating infections, says studyBy Jonathan Benson, June 27 2011
(NaturalNews) As most NaturalNews readers probably already know, there is a rapidly-growing resistance to antibiotics that has given way to antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), and even the strongest antibiotic drugs available have all but lost their ability to treat even the most common infections that afflict people today.
However, a research scientist from the Fraunhofer Institute for...
 FDA sued to halt antibiotics in animal feedBy Nicole Parsons, June 27 2011
(NaturalNews) Since the 1950's livestock have had antibiotics added into their feed to speed up their growth and to prevent and treat illness. However, recently several environmental and public health groups have filed suit against the Food and Drug Administration to try and force the government to stop farmers from routinely adding the antibiotics to the feed.
The groups say that the wide spread use of the drugs and the FDA's allowance of it are dramatically adding to a public health crisis....
 Gluten then and nowBy Julie McGinnis, June 24 2011
(NaturalNews) Over the past decade, the frequency of conversations about gluten intolerance (GI) and celiac disease (CD) in the United States has gone from almost unheard of to commonplace. Chances are your local supermarket sells dozens of items labeled "gluten free" where none existed five years ago. Restaurants and school lunch programs frequently offer gluten-free alternatives. What happened?
Before I dive into that discussion, I want to clarify some terms to minimize confusion. "Gluten" is...
 Anti-foaming agent found in Chicken McNuggetsBy Mike Adams, June 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Ever wonder what's really found in Chicken McNuggets? Some of the ingredients, it turns out, seem to belong more to an industrial factory of some kind, not a food retailer. According to the McDonald's Corporation, its famous Chicken McNuggets are made with ingredients including autolyzed yeast extract (which contain free glutamate, similar to MSG), sodium phosphates and sodium aluminum phosphate. But that's not the freaky part. According to McDonald's own website, Chicken McNuggets...
 FDA officially declares the sun unsafe, urges public to lather toxic sunscreen on skinBy Ethan A. Huff, June 26 2011
(NaturalNews) The absurdity of many US government recommendations would be humorous if not for the millions of Americans that take them seriously. The latest pseudo-scientific nonsense being peddled by Big Brother is the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) ignorant claim that sunlight is dangerous, and that only "broad spectrum" sunscreens that block basically every type of sun ray from penetrating the skin are capable of preventing skin cancer and other alleged sun-induced diseases.
The FDA's...
 Spice up your sex life with this simple curry spiceBy Jonathan Benson, June 25 2011
(NaturalNews) A new study conducted by researchers from both Applied Science and Nutrition, an Australia-based scientific and consulting company, and the University of Queensland's medical school have found that the curry spice fenugreek livens up a lot more than just food. Based in their findings, men who consume fenugreek regularly can boost their sex drives by as much as 25 percent, which can eliminate the need to take dangerous pharmaceuticals.
For its study, the team assigned 60 healthy men...
 Texas declares light bulb sovereignty, incandescents to remain legal in Lone Star StateBy Jonathan Benson, June 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Federal attempts to illegally control what types of light bulbs Americans are permitted to buy and use have been thwarted by the great state of Texas, thanks to the recent passage of HB 2510. The bill effectively exempts incandescent light bulbs made and sold within the state of Texas from having to comply with federal light bulb restrictions that are set to come into effect in 2012.
Authored by Marva Beck (R-Centerville), HB 2510 was passed in both the Texas House and Senate on...
 Emerging green technology to capture 'waste' heat and turn it directly into electricityBy Jonathan Benson, June 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Researchers from the University of Minnesota's (UM) College of Science and Engineering are working with a new alloy material that they say is capable of turning waste heat -- like the kind emitted from vehicle exhaust pipes or from air conditioning units -- directly into electricity. Though still in its infancy, the technology has the potential to revolutionize the way heat is recycled, and it may one day offer individuals the ability to recycle an unlimited amount of heat into free...
 7 surprising things you're not supposed to know about sunscreen and sunlight exposureBy Mike Adams, June 25 2011
(NaturalNews) Ask somebody about sunscreen and you're likely to receive an earful of disinformation from a person who has been repeatedly misinformed by health authorities and the mainstream media. Almost nothing you hear about sunscreen from traditional media channels is accurate. So here's a quick guide to the 7 most important things you need to know about sunscreen, sunlight and vitamin D:
#1) The FDA refuses to allow natural sunscreen ingredients to be used in sunblock / sunscreen products

 Corporations are psychopaths - with zero degrees of empathyBy Kaitlyn Moore, June 25 2011
(NaturalNews) Corporations play a big role in our day-to-day activities and they are constantly making decisions that have a profound effect on our daily lives. For example: a corporation makes the decision to empty its chemical vats into a nearby river - the water supply is poisoned and residents of the adjacent town fall sick; or a corporation makes the decision to cut costs to increase profits and initiates a round of layoffs - the community that was formed around the corporation is decimated...
Chinese man dies after being exposed to industrial version of common meat additiveBy Ethan A. Huff, June 25 2011
(NaturalNews) The Chinese government has sentenced Gao Yanjun, a butcher from the northern city of Jinzhou, to life in prison -- and four others to up to 15 years in prison -- for illegally adding poisonous, industrial-grade nitrates to meat products they sold, in order to enhance their color and texture. In contrast to food-grade nitrates, which although it is also technically poisonous will not necessarily kill you, industrial-grade nitrates are a known chemical poison that is fatal when consumed...
Study: Homeopathic remedy helps treat migraine headaches naturallyBy Jonathan Benson, June 25 2011
(NaturalNews) A new study published in the journal Headache has found that a homeopathic preparation of ginger and the medicinal herb feverfew is effective at treating migraine headaches. Based on their findings, researchers found that 63 percent of those who took the remedy at the first signs of a migraine experienced pain relief, while only 39 percent of those taking a placebo experienced any perceived relief.
Funded by PuraMed Bioscience, the study assigned 45 participants the homeopathic treatment...
 Doctors refusing to treat overweight patients?By J. D. Heyes, June 25 2011
(NaturalNews) Increasingly, if you're not a healthy person already, more and more doctors are shying away from you. In a profession where the axiom, "Do No Harm" is supposed to reign supreme, some physicians are saying "Don't Come to Me" instead, especially for patients who are obese.
A few doctors in Florida have begun to turn away obese patients, claiming they come with too many health problems and risks. Some physicians who specialize in obstetrics and gynecology in particular, have set weight...
NYC slaughtering city geese to provide food for homelessBy Sally Oaken, June 25 2011
(NaturalNews) In early 2009, after a five month series of meetings between the New York City Parks Department, the USDA, the National Park Service and several members of New York City government, a plan was put in place to eliminate Canada geese living near on or near airports around the city.
The goose removal plan calls for a long term effort to exterminate about 170,000 Canada geese, about two thirds of the state's population, through hunting, birth control or carbon dioxide asphyxiation.

UK group turns leftover food waste into fertilizer for organic gardensBy Jonathan Benson, June 25 2011
(NaturalNews) Countless millions of pounds of leftover food go to waste every single year around the world, and a UK group has decided to put that waste to good use. Utilizing a roughly $1.2 million grant given to it from a waste minimization organization, the CWM Harry Land Trust, an environmental and social charity group, now collects food waste from 13,500 homes in Wales and turns it into 200 tons of organic compost -- and thanks to much success thus far, it plans to expand the program even further...
 TSA claims it will soon stop molesting little children, but not adults, veterans or senior citizensBy Mike Adams, June 24 2011
(NaturalNews) In a policy change announcement, the TSA now claims it will soon stop molesting little children by reaching into their pants and feeling their genitals. That we live in such a police state today where the opening line to a news story even mentions government agents molesting little children should be downright astonishing, but it's the truth. Of course, the TSA never claimed it was "molesting" children, and it describes its policy change as a way to "screen children without using invasive...
 TEPCO: Stopping melt-through fuel from contaminating groundwater will cost too much, hurt company stock priceBy Ethan A. Huff, June 24 2011
(NaturalNews) The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which owns the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility struck by the massive earthquake and tsunami on March 11, has made it abundantly clear that protecting people and the environment from the radioactive fallout of its three massive reactor "melt-throughs" is not a priority (http://www.naturalnews.com/032657_Fukushima_meltdown.html).
According to a recent report in The Mainichi Daily News, TEPCO officials claim that installing...
 Peru implements ten-year ban on GMOsBy Jonathan Benson, June 24 2011
(NaturalNews) A rarity in the world today, the South American nation of Peru has yet to be contaminated by the import, cultivation, or breeding of any genetically-modified (GM) crops -- at least not openly -- unlike some of its nearby neighbors like Brazil that have openly and willingly accepted them. And the recent decision by Peru's Plenary Session of the Congress to enact a ten-year moratorium on GMOs, in direct defiance to previous governmental pushes for legalization, represents a huge victory...
 Pine bark, CoQ10 together improve physical fitness and heart healthBy Jonathan Benson, June 24 2011
(NaturalNews) A new study conducted by researchers from Chieti-Pescara University in Italy has revealed that taking pine bark extract in conjunction with Coenzyme Q10 helps improve heart health in heart failure patients by bolstering blood pressure regulation, strengthening endothelial function, reducing hypertension, and improving overall physical ability.
For their single-blind, placebo-controlled study, researchers tested the effects of Pycnogenol, a branded version of pine bark extract, and...
 Psychiatrists with corrupt pasts found working in juvenile justice facilities and doping childrenBy Monica G. Young, June 24 2011
(NaturalNews) An investigation into the massive drugging of kids in Florida juvenile jails has uncovered psychiatric doctors with deplorable records working for the state's Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). Their histories include not only grand theft and medical malpractice, but overmedicating patients to the point of death.
In a series of outstanding articles in the Palm Beach Post, reporter Michael Laforgia lays out the heinous trail of a still unfolding investigation. It began with an...
 California fair vendor tests limits of Americans' junk food threshold by serving deep-fried Kool-AidBy Ethan A. Huff, June 24 2011
(NaturalNews) There appears to be no limit to what some Americans are willing to put in their bodies, even in the so-called health mecca of California. According to a recent FOX News report, a vendor at the San Diego County Fair this year is selling battered, deep-fried Kool-Aid -- yes, Kool-Aid powder wrapped in refined batter and submerged in boiling oil -- to fairgoers with a penchant for fake food.
Even at the lofty price of $5.95 a pop, hungry patrons are reportedly lining up in droves to...
 Man robs bank to buy Starbucks coffeeBy J. D. Heyes, June 24 2011
(NaturalNews) It may have seemed like the perfect crime in his head but when it all played out it was obvious the plan was flawed from the start.
Lawrence Petitta, a 52-year-old transient from southern California, allegedly walked into a California Bank and Trust in Mountain View, a city located in the San Francisco Bay area, indicated to a teller he had a gun, and then robbed the place of $1,100 in cash.
This is where the plan got tricky.
Rather than make an elaborate escape with getaway...
 FDA unfairly maligns tobacco plant with graphic new cigarette warning labelsBy Mike Adams, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) The FDA has released nine new graphic warning labels that will be required on U.S. cigarettes, offering grotesque visual images designed to dissuade smokers from purchasing cigarettes. At first glance, this might seem like a clever and effective strategy for reducing deaths from smoking cigarettes. After all, there's a lot of scientific evidence that says smoking cigarettes is bad for you. But there's something missing in this whole debate that neither the FDA nor health authorities...
 The true history of Dole, banana plantations, chemical pesticides and human sufferingBy Kaitlyn Moore, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) One Hundred Years of Solitude, a novel by Gabrielle Garcia Marquez, is a historical account of the fictional town Macondo. A town loosely set around his Mr. Marquez's hometown in Aracataca, Columbia. A tale that is a social commentary of sorts on the effect of the American banana industry and the environmental, social, and physical havoc that followed it its wake.
Dole's Early Years
Castle and Cook to Standard Fruit to Dole, the name changes but Dole's dirty game stays the same...
 Sitting may be just as dangerous for your health as smokingBy J. D. Heyes, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Is our lack of motion killing us? Absolutely. In fact, one of our most unhealthy "activities" is our lack of activity, the sedentary lifestyle of our first-world nation status, where more and more, we sit - at a desk, at a computer, in front of a television - nearly every day of the week, as opposed to engaging in any meaningful physical activities.
In fact, some experts even say our chronic immobility is as dangerous to our health as cigarettes.
"Smoking certainly is a major...
 The truth about tanning beds: They boost vitamin D productionBy Daniel Erickson, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) The FDA has the media and subsequently many Americans in a (perhaps unjustified) uproar about teens using tanning beds, and they are now pushing to ban tanning for people under 18. It is time to set some of this witch-hunting straight.
The ruckus comes in the wake of a report that was released last year by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization. The report resulted in the IARC's changing the status of tanning beds from 'possibly...
 Four decades of drug war tyranny may come to an end with Ron Paul's new effort to legalize marijuanaBy Mike Adams, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Four decades of the so-called "War on Drugs" has led only to the suffering of millions of innocents, the crowding of our prisons with non-violent citizens, the utter waste of billions of dollars on law enforcement and the (in)justice system, and the enriching of underground drug gangs who thrive on violence. The outlawing of marijuana in America has been a disastrous political policy and an insane medical policy. It has labeled biochemical addicts "criminals" and thrown them in prisons...
 Your dishwasher could be harboring dangerous 'super' fungi, says reportBy Jonathan Benson, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) In many ways, modern home appliances have made life simpler by reducing the amount of time it takes to clean, cook, and perform other routine household activities. But some of these technological advances may be responsible for increasing the prevalence of harmful "super" pathogens that have grown resistant to stimuli that used to eliminate them, suggests a new report in the British Mycological Society journal Fungal Biology.
According to the report, household appliances that use...
 AMA: Health insurance companies botch up to 20 percent of claimsBy Jonathan Benson, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Many NaturalNews readers have likely experienced, if even just once, the hassle of having their health insurance company improperly file a insurance claim, which can result in filing disputes, delayed payments, and other administrative problems. According to the American Medical Association (AMA), as many as 20 percent of health insurance claims are improperly filed, which reportedly adds an additional $17 billion a year to the overall healthcare burden.
The new AMA report explains...
 Michigan considers banning TSA groping and molestationBy Jonathan Benson, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Following in the footsteps of liberty-minded lawmakers in Texas, some Michigan lawmakers are now considering making it a misdemeanor offense for US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents to "conduct an intrusive, personal search on citizens without reasonable cause." The proposal, which really just reaffirms what the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution already states, represents the second attempt by a US state to restrain the TSA from illegally groping and molesting...
 Minimizing Vaccine Side EffectsBy Celeste Yarnall, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) "My veterinarian made me do it! I love my veterinarian so much, that I do exactly what he/she tells me to do. I hear all the alternative practitioners warning about the potential side effects and how vaccination is not a simple thing but is a true medical procedure with risks and benefits just like all medical procedures. But I'm scared because I've heard that it can have dangerous, life threatening consequences, not just for my pets but for my kids and me, too. I'm just so afraid not...
Doctors warn about dangers of energy drinksBy Nicole Parsons, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) They are easy to come by, lining the shelves of gas stations, convenient stores, supermarkets and even drug stores. However, in a new report, experts are now urging children and teenagers to avoid consumption of energy drinks.
"Children never need energy drinks," Says Dr. Holly Benjamin of the American Academy of Paediatrics who worked on the new report, "They contain caffeine and other stimulant substances that aren't nutritional, so you don't need them."
Experts fear that kids...
 New York cop illegally trespasses private property, arrests woman for filming suspicious traffic stopBy Ethan A. Huff, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) A young woman from Rochester, NY, is facing criminal charges for allegedly "obstructing governmental administration," after she filmed a suspicious traffic stop taking place in front of her home. Officer Mario Masic from the Rochester Police Department (RPD) illegally approached 28-year-old Emily Good on her property without due cause, and eventually arrested her because she refused to obey his illegal orders.
It all apparently began when Masic and several other RPD officers pulled...
 Tree hugging improves your healthBy Matthew Silverstone, June 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Tree hugging, that much maligned hippy generation idea, has now been shown to have scientific validity after all. Contrary to popular belief, touching a tree does make you healthier. In fact you don't even have to touch the tree to get better, just being within its vicinity has the same effect.
In a recently published book, Blinded by Science, (www.blindedbyscience.co.uk) the author Matthew Silverstone, proves scientifically that trees improve many health issues such as; mental illnesses...
