Green tea exports banned from Japan after testing high for radioactive cesium

By Jonathan Benson, June 7 2011
(NaturalNews) The Japanese government has banned exports of green tea from four agricultural regions of Japan after leaves there tested positive for high levels of radioactive cesium. According to reports from the UK's Telegraph, green tea leaves from parts of Tochigi, Chiba, and Kanagawa, as well as from the entire region of Ibaraki, have exceeded legal limits following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, prompting the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to recall already-shipped stocks of...

Despite its efforts, even Whole Foods cannot keep GMOs out of the products it sells (correction)

By Tara Green, June 7 2011
(NaturalNews) Genetically modified foods have become so ubiquitous in the US that even the grocery store 'Whole Foods' now admits it cannot keep biotech foods off its shelves. A representative for the corporation acknowledged in May of 2011 that the realities of the marketplace have forced a shift in the company's previous no-GMO's policy. (Correction note: The original title of this article has been altered to better reflect the accuracy of this story. As a clarification, Whole Foods does take...

Miracle herbal supplement proven to aid victims of cancer treatments

By S. L. Baker, June 7 2011
(NaturalNews) Big Pharma's drugs have failed miserably in helping female cancer survivors deal with quality of life problems that can linger for years after chemo and radiation treatments are finished. But now there's help on the horizon -- and it's all natural and appears to be free of side effects. Study results just presented at the 2011 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting in Chicago revealed a natural combination of nutrients and phytochemicals were healthy for female...

Kenyan farmers band together against GMOs, insist organics will end poverty and food shortages

By Ethan A. Huff, June 7 2011
(NaturalNews) Droves of farmers in the African country of Kenya are pushing hard to stop efforts by government officials to implement genetically-modified (GM) crops in the nation. Contradicting the lies and propaganda continually dispensed by the biotechnology industry, these farmers claim that organic crops -- not GMOs -- continue to lead the way in ending poverty, providing food for natives, and even producing yield surpluses that can then be sold in foreign markets to help boost local economies...

Big seed companies ignored evidence showing it is possible to solve the world's food crisis without the use of GM crops or fertilisers

By Matthew Silverstone, June 7 2011
(NaturalNews) We have all been sold a lie, yet again. We are constantly being told that the only solution to solving the world's food shortages is to use enormous amounts of fertilisers or genetically modified seeds that produce "super" crops. What we are not being told is that we do not need either of these two options to solve the worldwide crisis in food production, all we need to do is give seeds a little magnetic tickle. That is right, that is all we need to do. No nitrates, no genetics,...

Dehydration and Allergies: 6 Simple Steps to Rehydrate Your Body

By Nancy Hearn, June 7 2011
(NaturalNews) I lived with the common allergy symptoms of runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing for most of my life. In fact, I was pretty miserable during allergy season. After many years of allergy tests, dietary changes, and natural remedies, I came to the conclusion that I was probably going to have allergies for the rest of my life -- and I had no intention of taking medications for them. Thus, I learned to manage the allergies primarily through diet and natural supplements. Hope for Allergy...

Food wars: How European health authorities are using the e.coli scare to wage economic warfare against vegetable farmers

By Mike Adams, June 6 2011
(NaturalNews) Even as hospitals in Germany are now filling up with people sickened by a super-powerful drug-resistant "superbug" strain of e.coli that looks like it was bioengineered (http://www.naturalnews.com/032622_ecoli_bioengineering.html), European health authorities are leaping at the opportunity to spread fear about organic foods while ignoring the obvious true cause of the contamination in the first place -- the widespread abuse of antibiotics in animal farming operations. The e.coli...

Forensic evidence emerges that European e.coli superbug was bioengineered to produce human fatalities

By Mike Adams, June 6 2011
(NaturalNews) Even as the veggie blame game is now under way across the EU, where a super resistant strain of e.coli is sickening patients and filling hospitals in Germany, virtually no one is talking about how e.coli could have magically become resistant to eight different classes of antibiotic drugs and then suddenly appeared in the food supply. This particular e.coli variation is a member of the O104 strain, and O104 strains are almost never (normally) resistant to antibiotics. In order for...

Egg carton claims not all they're cracked up to be, suggests report

By Ethan A. Huff, June 6 2011
(NaturalNews) Are the supposed "humanely-raised" eggs you buy from the grocery store really "natural" and "free-range"? What about the all-too-common claim made that eggs come from "cage-free" chickens? And what do all these terms actually mean in practical, legal terms? In a new study, Sheila Rodriguez from the Rutgers University School of Law asserts that many of these claims are both unsubstantiated and deceptive, and that consumers need to be aware of the dirty truth behind the eggs they buy...

America spends billions on pharma drugs only to destroy them at additional cost

By Daniel Erickson, June 6 2011
(NaturalNews) In the last year, American drug disposal programs have claimed more than 309 tons of prescription and other drugs as people turn in their unused medications. While health officials congratulate themselves on a job well done, others consider what these numbers have to say about the state of American health care - how consumerism has leaked into the pharmaceutical industry and is now running rampant. Perhaps taking a moment to understand how large 309 tons is, will help place the issue...

Children are dissociated from the natural world due to focus on internet, Xbox and TV

By Nicole Parsons, June 6 2011
(NaturalNews) The tossing aside of age old childhood pastimes, such as tree climbing, in favor of staring at the illuminated screens of televisions and computers is making the protection of biodiversity more difficult. According to Ahmed Djoghlaf, executive secretary on biological diversity for the United Nations, the urbanization of many young people today has made them strangers to nature. "Our children are behind their computers, their SMS, their videogames, watching TV," Djoghlaf said....

The FDA assaults breast thermography while protecting mammography industry

By Len Saputo, June 6 2011
(NaturalNews) The FDA published an article in "Journal Watch" on June 3, 2011 is full of information that is presumptive and incorrect and they have to know it. First of all, it slanders the breast thermography industry and the multitude of mainstream medical journal articles supporting its value. As a point of interest, the FDA approved breast thermography as an adjunct to mammography in 1982. You would think that there just might be a reason or two supporting its value that they appreciate but...

Prevent age-related diseases by consuming high levels of vitamins and minerals

By Jonathan Benson, June 6 2011
(NaturalNews) Most people who live in developed nations like the United States assume they get plenty of the necessary vitamins and minerals as part of their normal diets, and that they do not need to take vitamin supplements. But a new study published online in the FASEB Journal suggests otherwise, explaining that even moderate nutrient deficiencies, which afflict many unwitting individuals, are responsible for causing age-related diseases including cancer and heart disease. For the study, Dr...

American Dietetic Association attempting to monopolize nutritional advice

By J. D. Heyes, June 6 2011
(NaturalNews) An organization that promotes the practice of natural healthcare and supports the right of consumers to choose their own treatment options has said it believes the American Dietetic Association is attempting to monopolize the nutrition industry by denying access to qualified professionals. Darrell Rogers, a spokesman for the Alliance for Natural Health USA, a group which, according to its website, advocates "natural, sustainable healthcare through good science and good law," says...

Unique antioxidant in coffee associated with dramatic reduction in prostate cancer

By Kshamica S. Nimalasuriya MD, MPH, May 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer for men in the the United States. Other than being male, there are other factors such as age, race, and family history that may contribute to the risk. However, the screening tests for prostate cancer including digital examination and the PSA blood tests have been shown to be not always reliable. This is all the more reason that we need to prevent it. A new study from Harvard University shows that consuming coffee,...

US says dropping bombs is not war, but guessing a computer password is

By Ethan A. Huff, June 5 2011
(NaturalNews) The US government sure has an interesting way of defining war these days. Just a few months after the Obama administration played word games with the public by insisting that air strikes in Libya were just "kinetic military action," not acts of war, the Pentagon has now come on the record stating that it will treat all acts of cyber-hacking against the US as "acts of war." The announcement came on the heels of a supposed cyber-attack that occurred a few weeks ago against defense...

D.C. teachers help their students cheat on standardized exams

By J. D. Heyes, June 5 2011
(NaturalNews) If you thought you'd heard it all regarding the sad state of public education in the U.S. today, think again. In the nation's capital, the teachers there help their students cheat on standardized exams. A report last month said the D.C. Public Schools district is under investigation after officials discovered 14 security breaches by both students and teachers during standardized testing in April. The Office of State Superintendent ordered the investigation after throwing out test...

Studies linking XMRV virus to chronic fatigue system shown to be false, thousands needlessly taking antiviral drugs

By Jonathan Benson, June 5 2011
(NaturalNews) A 2009 study alleging that a mouse virus known as XMRV is responsible for causing chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in humans has been debunked. Originally published in the journal Science, the study identified XMRV in the blood of some patients with CFS, and falsely concluded that the virus was responsible for the condition. But new research to the contrary has prompted Science to issue an "editorial expression of concern," which is basically a formal way of admitting that a published...

Life Metaphors: The powerful force overlooked by modern psychology

By Mike Bundrant, June 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Imagine that you have a bird's eye view of two people's lives, John and James. Both John and James experience the challenges and opportunities that come with family and relationships, work and community. They each have their share of success and failure. Neither John nor James is immune to the difficulties of life and each has a similar capacity for happiness. There is, however, one critical difference between John and James and that is their life metaphor. We all have a metaphor...

You've been eating cloned bananas

By Mike Adams, June 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Have you ever noticed that while there are a plethora of varieties of nearly all common fruits such as apples, oranges and peaches, each banana seems identical to every other? When someone says "banana," you probably think of a large fruit with yellow skin and a soft, pale middle. That's because only bananas of the "Cavendish" variety are sold in stores. And while there are indeed many species in the banana genus "Musa," those species are drastically different from the "banana" in...

WHO panel warns that cell phone use may cause cancer

By Jonathan Benson, June 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Scientists from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a group affiliated with the World Health Organization (WHO), say that mobile phones are a "possible" carcinogen that may be a cause of cancer. The findings, which support previous research on the subject, add to the growing body of evidence which suggests that the electromagnetic radiation emitted from mobile phones causes serious health problems. "A positive association has been observed between exposure to...

Do cell phones cause cancer?

By Kshamica S. Nimalasuriya MD, MPH, June 4 2011
(NaturalNews) This week the World Health Organizations officially classified cellphones as possibly carcinogenic to humans. This statement was made from a team of 31 scientists from 14 countries who made this decision after reviewing the data from previous peer-reviewed studies. The team looked for links between cancer and the type of radiation found in cellphones. Their conclusion was to classify cellphones in category 2B which means cellphones are possibly carcinogenic to humans. Other compounds...

Transit officers cite Patriot Act to illegally detain man for taking pictures at train station

By Ethan A. Huff, June 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Americans that take photographs in public places are now considered to be potential terrorists by many over-zealous state employees that have bought into all the "war on terror" rhetoric and the irrational fear-mongering it has brought with it. According to WJZ-13 CBS in Baltimore, several Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) officials recently detained a man illegally for simply snapping a few pictures at a train station -- and the detaining officers tried to use the Patriot Act as...

800 tons of farm fish found dead in mass die-off

By Jonathan Benson, June 4 2011
(NaturalNews) More mysterious animal deaths have surfaced, this time in a volcanic lake in the Philippines. Reports say that 800 tons, or 1.6 million pounds, of fish have turned up dead in a lake near the Taal volcano, which is located south of the capital city of Manila. Oficials say the deaths may have been a result of sudden temperature change in the water. The recent rise in seismic activity around the volcano, however, is allegedly unrelated to the fish kill, say officials. Though there were...

UK food board suddenly reverses position, approves cloned food without labels despite lack of safety studies

By Ethan A. Huff, June 4 2011
(NaturalNews) In a shocking reversal of its previous position on the matter, the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA), which is supposed to be a consumer watchdog group that works on behalf of citizen interests, has arbitrarily decided that cloned animal food is safe, and that it can be sold without proper labeling. Just days before making this complete about-face, FSA had purported that there was not enough evidence that cloned food was safe to support its approval. Caving to what appears to have been...

Right cultivation of the blood is the foundation of health and longevity

By Angelo Druda, June 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Dracula had it right. The blood IS the key to longevity. In this age of global contamination and health care meltdown, the practice of blood cultivation must be rightly understood by anyone interested in health self sufficiency and longevity. Time and time again, people do not heal at the core of their imbalance. This is because the quality of their blood has not been properly cultivated. The blood is the river of life in the body. When we cultivate our blood, we establish the foundation...

Scientists push to implement edible RFID tracking chips in food

By Ethan A. Huff, June 3 2011
(NaturalNews) It will monitor your calorie intake, show from where your food was sourced, and even let you know when the food in your fridge is about to go bad -- these are some of the enticing claims made by the developers of a new system that embeds edible radio frequency identification (RFID) chips directly into food. Its creators insist the technology will revolutionize the way humans eat for the better, but critical-thinking onlookers will recognize the ploy as just another way to track and...

How doctors are bought off by medical device makers

By M.K. Tyler, June 3 2011
(NaturalNews) When it comes to advertising, are doctors really immune? Every year, millions of dollars are spent by pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers in attempts to win over physicians. All-expense-paid trips to Hawaii, season tickets to sporting events, lavish dinners, expensive wine, T-shirts, hats, key chains and pens. All of this, of course, endorsed by Company X. No wonder doctors are drinking the Kool-Aid. In a recent investigation, ProPublica reporters Charlie Ornstein...

18 U.S. veterans commit suicide daily; largely due to psychiatric drugs

By Neev M. Arnell, June 3 2011
(NaturalNews) "If mentally incapacitated troops are being drugged with dangerous, mind-altering drugs and deployed to battle against their will, how can we say that we have a volunteer army?" asked Alliance for Human Research Protection, the national network dedicated to advancing responsible and ethical medical research practices. This is just one of the many criticisms being levied against the U.S. military in light of its liberal use of prescription medication, which is now being linked to...

Scientists issue urgent warning about danger of common drug combination taken by millions

By S. L. Baker, June 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Check out Big Pharma's ads or the inserts that come with pill packages and you'll find (in almost impossible-to-read tiny print) the side effects and risks of the meds in question listed -- at least the adverse effects that are supposedly known. But where is the info about taking more than one of the prescription medications together? This issue is rarely ever brought up despite the mind-boggling number of people taking not only a single prescription drug but an assortment of these...

Magnesium Offers Strong Radiation Protection

By Mark Sircus., AC, OMD, June 3 2011
(NaturalNews) One would not normally think that magnesium deficiency can increase the risk of cancer yet we will find that just as severe dehydration or asphyxiation can cause death, magnesium deficiency can lead directly to cancer. It is known that carcinogenesis induces magnesium distribution disturbances, causing magnesium mobilization through blood cells and magnesium depletion in non-neoplastic tissues. Magnesium deficiency is carcinogenic, and in the case of solid tumors, a high level of supplemented...

Trader's Coops: Where Kombucha Equals Currency

By Sherry L. Ackerman, Ph.D., June 3 2011
(NaturalNews) I was in rural Portugal a few weeks ago, visiting a tiny village that I have known for decades. I have watched it gradually change since Portugal's admission to the EU. On this visit, though, the cumulative change was striking. It was a "modern" culture now -- no longer practicing the old, rural (sustainable!) ways that it had known for centuries. Automobiles raced along the streets instead of bicycles and donkey carts. People were in a hurry, rather than sharing a leisurely afternoon...

Apple named least green technology company

By Nicole Parsons, June 3 2011
(NaturalNews) As a company, Apple has become a household name in such a way that one would be hard-pressed to find many people in the Western world who aren't at least somewhat familiar with the words "ipod" and "iphone". However, what you might not know is that Apple has found a place at the bottom of a list compiled by Greenpeace detailing the least environmentally green technology companies. Apple has earned its place on the list due to its "dirty data" practices, as their energy centers use a...

E.coli superbug outbreak in Germany due to abuse of antibiotics in meat production

By Mike Adams, June 2 2011
(NaturalNews) The e.coli outbreak in Germany is raising alarm worldwide as scientists are now describing this particular strain of e.coli as "extremely aggressive and toxic." Even worse, the strain is resistant to antibiotics, making it one of the world's first widespread superbug food infections that's racking up a noticeable body count while sickening thousands. Of course, virtually every report you'll read on this in the mainstream media has the facts wrong. This isn't about cucumbers being...

Specials on certified organic Chia seeds offered by the NaturalNews Store

By Mike Adams, June 2 2011
(NaturalNews) In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, there's a lot of renewed interest in preparedness. One thing we all learned from the disaster is that when the power grid goes down, starvation isn't too far behind for those who have failed to store food. It's easy to store a 72-hour supply of food just by shopping at the grocery store, of course: Canned soup, bread, peanut butter and even salted nuts are all readily available as long as you don't wait until the last days before a storm hits...

Fact: The most expensive coffee in the world is brewed from beans partially digested and defecated by the Asian palm civet

By Mike Adams, June 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Here's something you probably didn't know about coffee: The world's most expensive coffee, kopi luwak (literally, "civet coffee") is brewed from coffee beans that have been eaten and partially digested by the Asian palm civet, a catlike wild animal. The beans are harvested from the droppings of the civet and washed, and can be brewed into an aromatic coffee renowned for its low bitterness and excellent flavor. According to coffee critic Chris Rubin, "The aroma is rich and strong...

78 percent of Pakistani children with polio were given polio vaccines

By Daniel Erickson, June 2 2011
(NaturalNews) In the last year, as Pakistan has lost favor with the US and UNICEF, polio virus has paralyzed increasing numbers of Pakistani youth, casting doubt on the good intentions of those who fight polio. To make matters worse, most of the new cases have occurred in children already vaccinated. Is the US attempting to fight Pakistan by tainting inoculation doses? The medical data suggests that the vaccine has changed in its efficacy against the disease. Last year, there were 136 cases of...

New mind-altering drug capable of literally modifying your memories

By Jonathan Benson, June 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Changing bad memories into good ones could be just a pill away, according to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. Researchers from the University of Montreal in Canada say that metyrapone, a drug that blocks the "stress hormone" cortisol, also appears to alter patients' memories and minimizing their recollection of negative events -- but is this actually a good thing? For their study, Marie-France Marin and her team evaluated the effects of...

Support efforts to block GM potato plantings by signing petition

By Ethan A. Huff, June 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Last week, NaturalNews covered the ongoing battle being waged by Greenpeace activists in Sweden against the illicit planting of BASF's genetically-modified (GM) potato, Amflora, which was deceitfully approved in the country based on shoddy studies (http://www.naturalnews.com/032544_BASF_GM_potatoes.html). After being arrested and released twice, the "human shield" is once again back at the warehouse where it still plans to stop the plantings -- and these tireless defenders of food integrity...

Herbal therapies that stop aging and fight disease

By S. L. Baker, June 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Tell a mainstream medical doctor you are taking a herb, especially if it is for some condition Big Pharma has no treatment for, and odds are you'll be faced with warnings that herbs are unproven quackery at worst. And if you claim a traditional herbal cure is actually working, don't be surprised if you are told it is probably the placebo effect, i.e. all "in your head". But when scientists actually investigate these natural remedies, they are frequently finding they contain powerful...

Traditional Indian plant medicine may halt breast cancer metastasis

By Sherry Baker, June 2 2011
(NewsTarget) The reason breast cancer can be a killer isn't because of the lump it forms in a breast -- the danger comes from metastasis, the spread of cancer cells to additional areas of the body, including the bones, brain and other organs. Despite mainstream medicine's treatments with radiation and chemotherapy, metastasis remains a serious, common and virtually untreatable condition. But there's finally some good news from an unexpected -- and ancient -- source. It turns out that the traditional...

Danish food safety laws ban products containing added vitamins, allege they are threat to public health

By Ethan A. Huff, June 2 2011
(NaturalNews) So-called food safety laws enacted in Denmark back in 2004 have restricted the sale of any food products that contain added vitamins and minerals, and all on the outlandish premise that such nutrients are a threat to public health. And just recently, the country banned Marmite, a popular food spread sourced from the UK, because it contains added B vitamins. Perfectly aligned with Codex Alimentarius and the recent EU ban of many herbal remedies, the Danish restrictions allow only...
