Articles from NaturalNews In-House Writers:
 Children's brains needlessly exposed to cancer-linked radiationBy S. L. Baker, May 9 2011
(NaturalNews) Are you a parent? Here's a simple question to ask yourself: if your youngster receives a bump on the head, would you rather keep an eye on your child for 4 to 6 hours to make sure he or she suffered no serious trauma -- or would you prefer that doctors zap your child's brain with ionizing radiation from costly computed tomography (CT) scans just to make you feel better immediately?
Most moms and dads would probably prefer the simple "watchful waiting" approach if they thought there...
 Radiation still a problem - Don't be fooled by reassurancesBy Randall Neustaedter OMD, May 9 2011
(NaturalNews) The New York Times and other mass media publications have been publishing articles that downplay the dangers of radioactive fallout from nuclear disasters like the Fukushima and Chernobyl disasters. And the Environmental Protection Agency has now stopped testing air, water, and milk samples for radiation despite the continuing release of radioactive materials into the environment from Japan.
The Fukushima disaster has resulted in a nuclear meltdown that has no end in sight. That...
 Swiss researcher proves that natural selective breeding works better than GMOsBy Ethan A. Huff, May 9 2011
(NaturalNews) Twenty years of careful research and development on a new apple variety has produced an amazing fruit that New Zealand's Scoop news states is "sweet, tangy and delicious." And the most amazing aspect of Swiss orchardist and researcher Markus Kobelt's new RedLove apple variety is that it was designed to be resistant to disease, appealing to the palate, and easy to grow -- and all without the use of any sort of artificial genetic modification.
For many years, researchers from other...
 Low vitamin D levels linked to more aggressive breast cancersBy Reuben Claxton, May 9 2011
(NaturalNews) Vitamin D has been in the news recently as more studies talk about the metabolic effects of the vitamin and why we need it. A new study has added to evidence for the need for vitamin D. In a study just published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, scientists report that breast cancer patients with low levels of vitamin D have more aggressive tumors and a higher risk of recurrence.
This is not a surprising result for many physicians working with cancer patients...
Second annual Hemp History Week campaign wraps up with nearly 600 celebrations nationwideBy Ariel Vegosen, May 9 2011
(NaturalNews) The second annual Hemp History Week took place from May 2-8, 2011. Organized by Vote Hemp and The Hemp Industries Association (HIA), the week-long education campaign included nearly 600 celebrations in all 50 states and an online petition drive that encouraged the Obama administration and Congress to change federal policy and allow American farmers to once again grow industrial hemp.
This year's effort expanded on the inaugural campaign held in May of last year, which mobilized supporters...
 Water fluoridation is a civil rights violation say Atlanta civil rights leadersBy Neev M. Arnell, May 7 2011
(NaturalNews) On April 18, Atlanta civil rights leaders called for an end to Georgia's mandatory water fluoridation practices April on the grounds that it negatively and disproportionately impacts the health of black families and the poor.
Andrew Young, former U.N. Ambassador and former Atlanta Mayor, along with Reverend Dr. Gerald Durley, Pastor of Providence Baptist Church in Atlanta, both inductees in the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame, expressed concerns about the fairness, safety...
 Police, SWAT teams storm college block party with LRAD sound cannon weapons, tear gas, riot gear for no reasonBy Ethan A. Huff, May 7 2011
(NaturalNews) The 2011 annual Wheeler Block Party at Western Illinois University (WIU) was met with brute force this year as a "multi-jurisdictional task force" was sent in to intimidate students with long-range acoustic device (LRAD) sound weapons, tear gas, riot gear, dogs, and even physical assaults -- all for no apparent reason.
Similar to what took place at the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh, Penn., back in 2009, jackboot-style soldiers marched through the streets near WIU and flagrantly abused...
My interview with Patch Adams. What's your gesundheit?By Mike Bundrant, May 7 2011
(NaturalNews) I wanted to talk to him about his approach to health, but the voicemail I received in response to my inquiry took things in a totally different direction.
"If you want to talk about how the government has ruined our chances of survival as a species...if you'd like to use this topic as your approach to an article on health, then call me." Patch Adam's voice was intense and not at all what I expected from my experience of his character as played by Robin Williams in the movie Patch...
 Cash register receipts still poisoning usBy Craig Smith, editor, Alliance for Natural Health, May 7 2011
(NaturalNews) Last August, ANH-USA filed a Citizen Petition with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to have the endocrine-disrupting chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) banned from thermal cash register receipts (www.anh-usa.org/anh%E2%80%93usa-files-petition-to-ban-bpa-in-cash-register-receipts). Cash register receipts are the little-known but most common pathway for BPA into your body.
The CPSC responded by refusing to consider our petition, claiming that it did not meet their requirements...
 Do your children need nutritional supplements? Part IIBy Randall Neustaedter OMD, May 7 2011
(NaturalNews) You know the perfect diet for your children. Breast milk for the first year at least. Then solids in the form of pureed fruits and vegetables starting at six months until twelve months. Then fresh fruits and vegetables all through the day, whole grains, clean protein products in the form of eggs, dairy products, and poultry, nuts, and maybe some grass fed beef, and all preferably organic. Do your kids eat that diet?
Most of us are lucky if our kids will eat one or two favorite vegetables...
 One in seven Americans now on food stampsBy M.K. Tyler, May 7 2011
(NaturalNews) A new report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture reveals that about one in seven Americans receives food stamps. Although the percentage of food stamp users seems to have increased in February of this year, 14.3 percent of the population still needs assistance in order to put dinner on the table. While a recovering economy might be the reason for this increase, the USDA's research does not take into account seasonal changes that might affect the rise or fall of food stamp user statistics...
 Connecticut moves full-steam ahead with medical marijuana billBy Jonathan Benson, May 7 2011
(NaturalNews) Legislators in Connecticut are in the process of moving forward with a bill that will legalize marijuana for medical use in the state, despite threats from federal prosecutors who say that they will go after individuals who grow or distribute the plant. If the bill passes in its current form, it will allow doctors to write prescriptions for patients to grow their own marijuana indoors.
"States have a right to decide this for themselves," said Michael P. Lawlor, senior criminal justice...
Bin Laden kill conveniently paves way for security checkpoints everywhere -- shopping malls, sports stadiums, grocery stores, churchesBy Ethan A. Huff, May 7 2011
(NaturalNews) Now that Osama Bin Laden is allegedly dead (for something like the ninth time), prepare to eventually be groped, molested, and herded through naked body scanners and other X-ray scanning machines everywhere you go. According to a recent CBS New York report, "counter terrorism" experts and other "security" officials are gearing up to require all Americans to essentially show their papers everywhere they go -- at the shopping mall, sports stadium, museum, grocery store, and even at church...
 New study: Nations requiring the most vaccines tend to have the worst infant mortality ratesBy Neil Z. Miller, May 4 2011
(NaturalNews) A new study, published in Human and Experimental Toxicology (http://het.sagepub.com/content/early/2011/05/04/0960327111407644), a peer-reviewed journal indexed by the National Library of Medicine, found that nations with higher (worse) infant mortality rates tend to give their infants more vaccine doses. For example, the United States requires infants to receive 26 vaccines -- the most in the world -- yet more than six U.S. infants die per every 1000 live births. In contrast, Sweden...
 Many types of organic compost are really packaged human sewageBy Neev M. Arnell, May 6 2011
(NaturalNews) Do you want everything that goes down your drain winding up on your backyard produce? Well that's what happens to those who use organic compost made with municipal sewage.
More than half of the 15 trillion gallons of sewage flushed annually by Americans ends up in a fertilizer product and those products contain everything that goes down the drain from Prozac flushed down toilets to the motor oil rinsed off factory floors (http://motherjones.com/environment/2009/05/sludge-happens...
 Plastics chemical in packaged foods linked to asthma in babiesBy Kaitlyn Moore, May 6 2011
(NaturalNews) BPA, also known as bisphenol-A, is a chemical compound often used in the production of a large variety of plastics. The widespread use of BPA has come under public scrutiny due to known connection to a host of health problems, including heart complications, cancer, neurological issues, diabetes and fertility and sexual issues.
http://www.naturalnews.com/027736_BPA_sexual_dysfunction.html The chemical can be found in water bottles, dental fillings, plastic containers, canned food...
 Nuclear plant workers release unknown amount of radioactive tritium into Mississippi RiverBy Ethan A. Huff, May 6 2011
(NaturalNews) Workers at the Grand Gulf Nuclear Plant in Port Gibson, Miss., last Thursday released a large amount of radioactive tritium directly into the Mississippi River, according to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and experts are currently trying to sort out the situation. An investigation is currently underway to determine why the tritium was even present in standing water found in an abandoned unit of the plant, as well as how much of this dangerous nuclear byproduct ended up...
 Nearly a million acres of prime Mississippi farmland threatened by approaching mega-floodBy Ethan A. Huff, May 6 2011
(NaturalNews) Torrential rains and melting winter snow continue to saturate the US Midwest. The water has already caused massive flooding and record swelling of both the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. And according to MPB News in Mississippi, the worst is yet to come as this deadly, 500-year flood is expected to wipe out nearly a million farming acres in Mississippi alone, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in other states like Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee that also...
 Does eating lots of salt really affect blood pressure?By Ethan A. Huff, May 6 2011
(NaturalNews) A new European study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association defies conventional wisdom concerning salt intake and heart health, suggesting that high salt consumption does not always lead to high blood pressure and heart disease.
Researchers from the University of Leuven in Belgium analyzed data on 3,700 Europeans that contributed urine samples at the beginning of the study, none of whom had heart disease, and two-thirds of whom had normal blood pressure...
 Dozens of earthquakes hit unlikely state of Maine in unusual seismic swarmBy Jonathan Benson, May 6 2011
(NaturalNews) Last weekend, a mysterious swarm of earthquake events struck the US state of Maine in what seismic experts have dubbed a "microquake" event. A region not typically prone to earthquakes, portions of Maine allegedly feel a small shake or two in an average year as a result of earth plate movement, but in recent days there have been dozens of shaking events, which has stirred up area residents. And though geologists insist that the earthquakes are nothing to worry about, some locals have...

 The gullible mind explainedBy Mike Adams, May 5 2011
(NaturalNews) In light of the string of the blatant falsehoods being announced by the U.S. government these days (FDA, DHS, White House, etc.) it's interesting that so many people still believe whatever they are told by "official" sources. It brings up the question of the functioning of their brains: How could a person swallow official information so gullibly and so completely without even asking commonsense questions about the reliability or factual basis of that information?
These people, it...
Expensive, risky surgery for periphery artery disease pushed by doctors who ignore better alternativesBy S. L. Baker, May 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a slow and progressive circulation disorder most often affecting arteries in the legs. Atherosclerosis, the same plaques of fat, calcium and other related gunk that clogs up arteries and cause heart attacks usually cause it.
If you have PAD of the legs, you know it can be a miserable condition, causing pain and numbness. You might think the study just announced at the 2011 American Roentgen Ray Society's annual meeting of radiologists, currently...
EPA ends special monitoring for Fukushima radiation despite continued rise in nuclear fallout, increased threats to USBy Ethan A. Huff, May 5 2011
(NaturalNews) The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced yesterday that it is ceasing its special monitoring protocols in the US for radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, despite the fact that no real progress at the plant has been made, and threats to the US are persistent. At the same time as the EPA announcement, foreign reports also indicate that levels of radiation in Pacific waters near the Fukushima plant are now up to 1,000 times normal levels, with no...
NY Times dishes out economic fallacies in its defense of the Federal ReserveBy J. D. Heyes, May 5 2011
(NaturalNews) - In a recent piece singing the praises of the Federal Reserve and what its creation has meant for U.S. monetary policy for nearly a century, columnist Roger Lowenstein of The New York Times looks into the origins of this institution and the true impact it has had on our Republic.
In criticizing those like Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who has called for the Fed to be disbanded and for the country to return to the gold standard - so our currency is actually based on something of value...
 Texas to make TSA pat-downs felony crimesBy J. D. Heyes, May 5 2011
(NaturalNews) - Well, it was bound to happen. Someone has finally gotten so tired of the X-rated pat-downs at airports they are trying to criminalize it.
Tired of waiting for the federal government to do the right thing and uphold Americans' Fourth Amendment right to privacy and protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, Texas lawmakers are moving to make invasive pat-downs by Transportation Security Administration screeners a felony.
A bill moving through the state Legislature...
Scientists say forget osteoporosis drugs - Natural approach builds strong bones safelyBy Sherry Baker, May 5 2011
(NewsTarget) (NaturalNews) For countless years, natural health advocates, who suggested caution at the near hysterical and highly advertised push to put women on anti-osteoporosis prescription drugs, were looked at as unscientific health "nuts". But now some mainstream scientists are in total agreement and are even sounding the alarm about those medications. Instead of popping side effect loaded pills, say University of Illinois (U of I) researchers, an effective first course of action to keep bones...

 Massive whales mysteriously wash ashore on New Zealand beachesBy Jonathan Benson, May 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Two giant whales of different species recently washed ashore at Waiinu Beach in South Taranaki, New Zealand, and they were discovered within just a few days of one another. The first whale, an emaciated 73-foot-long rare pygmy blue whale, washed ashore late Friday or early Saturday about a mile south of the Waitotara River, and the other, a sperm whale, turned up on Sunday. Experts are unsure why these whales beached themselves, or why the pygmy specifically was in such poor condition...
Former Miss America sexually molested by TSABy J. D. Heyes, May 5 2011
(NaturalNews) - The list of privacy concerns created by the Transportation Security Administration grew again last week, this time in the form of an invasive pat down of a former Miss USA title holder.
Ms. Susie Castillo, who won her crown in 2003 and was traveling through the Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport, said in a cell phone video she made immediately after the incident that she was fondled by a TSA screener during a physical pat down, this after refusing to enter a full body scanner...
FDA finally goes after fraudulent marketing of hand sanitizers with false claims about superbugsBy David Hutto, May 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Most people know that bacteria are picked up and transmitted by the hands, and so it seems logical that to protect ourselves, we can use antibacterial hand sanitizers. Logical -- perhaps -- but wrong. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) is now going after makers of hand sanitizers for making claims that their products will protect against MRSA and other diseases. Of the sanitizers, the FDA says, "Some hand sanitizers and antiseptic products come with claims that they can prevent MRSA...
