 Fukushima already ten times worse than Chernobyl in ocean waters, suggests dataBy Ethan A. Huff, June 11 2011
(NaturalNews) Recent readings taken roughly 19 miles out to sea from the Fukushima nuclear power facility in Japan have revealed radioisotope levels ten times higher than those measured in the Baltic and Black Seas after the massive Chernobyl disaster. Because Fukushima is much closer to water than the Chernobyl plant is, the ongoing fallout there is shaping up to be far worse than Chernobyl, at least as far as the world's oceans are concerned, and time will tell just how devastating this massive...
 Want to prevent diabetes? Take more omega-3, says new researchBy Tara Green, June 11 2011
(NaturalNews) Consuming omega-3 fatty acids may help lower your risk of diabetes, according to two recent studies. The studies, one based in the US, the other in Singapore, found adults with higher levels of omega-3 fats were less likely to develop diabetes.
Researchers suggest people avoid interpreting the study as evidence of omega-3's as a "magic bullet" health solution. They note that omega-3 fats may only be markers for some other dietary or lifestyle aspect which helps protect against the...
 Dental surgery causes American woman to speak with British accentBy Neev M. Arnell, June 10 2011
(NaturalNews) "When I talk now people ask me where I got my accent from. Well, I got it from a dentist in Toledo." jokes Karen Butler.
Butler believes she has foreign accent syndrome, a condition so rare that there are only 60 known cases worldwide. Butler, a 56-year-old tax consultant who grew up in Toledo, Ore., woke up with the strange accent, which could be taken for anything from Eastern European to Swedish or British, after dental surgery in November 2009.
Butler had the surgery to remove...

(NaturalNews) In a shocking display of utter disregard for their fellow man, staff at Edale House in Manchester, England, which is part of the Manchester Health and Social Care Trust (MHSCT), denied entry to drunk and intoxicated 41-year-old Peter Thompson, whom they left to die on a hallway floor for ten hours before eventually dragging his body away like a "dead animal."

Marijuana and Radiation ProtectionBy Mark Sircus., AC, OMD, June 10 2011
(NaturalNews) Marijuana offers strong protective qualities against radiation exposure. Since fewer and fewer people have the financial resources to continually purchase all the helpful things they will need perhaps growing weed in our backyard will offer the public one of the best anti-radiation solutions in the long run. Instead of it being just relaxing it might become very necessary to intake marijuana to increase ones defenses against radiation exposure. Might as well get your brownies ready...
 Chimpanzees found to give birth in much the same way as humansBy Nicole Parsons, June 10 2011
(NaturalNews) Members of the Hominidae family chimpanzees are the closest living relatives to human beings and like us, they have been found to experience emotions and retain memories. With that in mind, a team from the Hayashibara Great Ape Research Institute in Okayama, Japan has evidence to prove that we have more in common with these intelligent primates than we had originally realized.
The research team spent time living and sleeping with captive chimpanzees and came to realize that the animals...
Officials declare 'unusual event' at Nebraska nuclear plant as record floods ravage MidwestBy Jonathan Benson, June 10 2011
(NaturalNews) Flood waters continue to rise in many areas of the US Midwest, which has prompted officials at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant near Omaha, Neb., to declare an unidentified "Notification of Unusual Event." According to reports, flood waters have already reached the plant, and the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) is allegedly working to remediate the unknown, low-level emergency.
CBS 3 News in Omaha reports that OPPD has issued a news release stating that a "notification of unusual...
Understanding Karma (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, June 5 2011
(NaturalNews) It is not that God arbitrarily chooses to make you poor and another person rich. It is not God who's doing it but you.
Many religious sects, atheists and people in general have always posed the question, why is it if God loves all of us - His children - are there so many disparities and disabilities?
Unfortunately, however, people have failed to receive a satisfactory answer to this question. Many priests, pastors, ministers and rabbi's who do not actually have the answer attempt...
 New NASA research points to possible HAARP connection in Japan earthquake, tsunamiBy Ethan A. Huff, June 10 2011
(NaturalNews) Recent data released by Dimitar Ouzounov and colleagues from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland highlights some strange atmospheric anomalies over Japan just days before the massive earthquake and tsunami struck on March 11.

 Is lithium the next fluoride? Medication may be added to the water supplyBy Neev M. Arnell, May 31 2011
(NaturalNews) Lithium, the psychiatric drug prescribed for depression, mania and bipolar disorder, is now being viewed as the new fluoride by some experts.

Dr. Gerhard Schrauzer, who published the first paper in 1989 connecting lithium in water supplies to a decrease in certain undesirable social behaviors, became...
 Feds to start directly targeting drug company execs in health care fraud schemesBy Ethan A. Huff, June 10 2011
(NaturalNews) The days of drug companies simply settling out of court every time they break the law may soon be coming to an end. In a move that represents a significant shift toward punishing individuals for crimes rather than faceless corporations, federal officials say they will begin personally going after CEOs and other company executives whose companies fraudulently bilk Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal programs out of millions of dollars, or that falsely market dangerous drugs.

 US government to set up internet Ministry of Truth as communist-style government-run mediaBy J. D. Heyes, June 10 2011
(NaturalNews) It sounds like such an innocent idea, one rooted in "fairness" and wrapped in good intentions. An internet "ministry of truth," run either by the federal government or the United Nations, to protect against "misinformation and rumors" that find their way to the information superhighway.
Such an agency "would have to be an independent federal agency that no president could countermand or anything else because people wouldn't think you were just censoring the news and giving a different...
 Disgruntled neighbor spurs New Jersey town to cite backyard organic farmer for growing vegetables, demands crops be left unattended to dieBy Ethan A. Huff, June 10 2011
(NaturalNews) Hostility towards individuals who grow food in their suburban or semi-rural backyards appears to be on the rise, this time in the New Jersey township of Chatham. Officials there have twice cited Mike Bucuk, a 24-year-old organic farmer, for the crime of growing vegetables in his backyard and giving the surplus away to his neighbors for free. The town has even ordered Mike to stop attending to his three-acre plot of crops, thanks to a concerted legal effort spawned by a disgruntled neighbor...

 FDA finally admits chicken meat contains cancer-causing arsenic (but keep eating it, yo!)By Mike Adams, June 9 2011
(NaturalNews) After years of sweeping the issue under the rug and hoping no one would notice, the FDA has now finally admitted that chicken meat sold in the USA contains arsenic, a cancer-causing toxic chemical that's fatal in high doses. But the real story is where this arsenic comes from: It's added to the chicken feed on purpose!
Even worse, the FDA says its own research shows that the arsenic added to the chicken feed ends up in the chicken meat where it is consumed by humans. So for the last...
 To this day, Coca-Cola still imports coca leaves which are used to manufacture cocaine in the United StatesBy Mike Adams, June 9 2011
(NaturalNews) Coca leaves have been chewed and consumed as tea for thousands of years in the high Andes. They are rich in many essential nutrients; they ease respiratory and digestive distress and are a natural stimulant and painkiller. Indigenous tradition and scientific studies have both confirmed that in their natural form, the leaves are completely safe and non-addictive -- it takes intensive processing and toxic chemical ingredients to produce cocaine. That's why more and more coca-containing...

 Startling findings - ovarian cancer screening doesn't save lives and not all ovarian cancers kill or need treatmentBy S. L. Baker, June 9 2011
(NaturalNews) There's no denying ovarian cancer is usually a terrible disease. A stealthy malignancy, it's often misdiagnosed as indigestion and by the time ovarian cancer is actually discovered by a doctor, the disease may have spread extensively. According to the National Institutes of Health, ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer among women and causes more deaths than any other type of female reproductive cancer.
So it might seem like a potentially life-saving move to have all women...
It's Past Time to Reschedule Cannabis, Advocates Sue over DelayBy Kris Hermes, June 9 2011
(NaturalNews) It's been nearly nine years since the Coalition for Rescheduling Cannabis (CRC) filed its petition in 2002 to reclassify cannabis (otherwise known as marijuana). For decades now, the federal government has held onto the misguided and outdated position that cannabis is a dangerous drug with no medical value. And, rather than address cannabis as a public health issue, the government's strategy has simply been to delay the advancement of rescheduling. However, in an attempt to unrest that...
 Study: Conventional cosmetic products linked to damaging side effectsBy Ethan A. Huff, June 9 2011
(NaturalNews) A new report published by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) highlights some of the worst cosmetic products that cause harmful side effects.

Cosmetics, of course, imply much more than just make...
 California's prison system near collapse as Supreme Court orders release of 30,000 prisonersBy J. D. Heyes, June 9 2011
(NaturalNews) If you ever needed proof that the so-called "war on drugs" is an abject and costly failure, you need not look any further than the California penal system. The latest tragic example of this failure manifested itself in a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last month in which the court found that overcrowding in California's prison system amounted to cruel and unusual punishment, which is a violation of the Constitution's Eighth Amendment, and in so finding, ordered the state to release 30,000...

 Government recruits doctors to become thought police, pinpoint potential terrorists among their patientsBy Ethan A. Huff, June 8 2011
(NaturalNews) Outrageous new "counter-terrorism" measures being proposed in the UK are receiving a public relations backlash because of their extreme, fascist overtones. The UK government's "Prevent" program, which allegedly aims to protect against terrorism, is being reformulated to recruit doctors to both spy on their patients, then report to authorities those patients suspected of becoming potential terrorists.
In complete contradiction to the private doctor-patient relationship, the new proposals...

(NaturalNews) Employees of American taxpayers (government officials) have once again been exposed for abusing their perceived authority by harassing and terrorizing innocent people in the name of security. At a recent stop in Los Angeles, Calif., a cruise ship carrying roughly 2,000 elderly British travelers was held for over seven hours while immigration officials needlessly summoned them to what some claimed could be likened to Guantanamo Bay-style terrorist treatment.

Warren and Maureen Nyerges, of the Naples, Fla. area, bought a home with cash in 2009, yet in 2010 Bank of America tried to foreclose on them.

 US keeping secret stash of smallpox viruses at lab in Georgia to use for future bioweaponsBy J. D. Heyes, June 8 2011
(NaturalNews) You may have heard that smallpox has long been eradicated but what you may not know is that the United States and Russia still maintain stocks of the disease, and the U.S. is still in the business of researching and developing it. The question is, why?
According to the U.S. government, Washington and Moscow recently supported a decision to keep the two stocks intact, arguing that more research needed to be conducted on one of the world's deadliest diseases. Specifically, researchers...
