FDA approved Big Pharma drugs without effectiveness data

By S. L. Baker, May 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Consumers constantly are told how complicated it is to get a new drug on the market. After all, researchers have to jump through all sorts of hoops to assure safety before new therapies are approved for the public, right? It turns out they may be missing some of those hoops or not jumping through some of the most important ones. In fact, huge red flags are being raised about how drugs are tested and approved in two new studies, including one just published in the May 4th issue...

EPA, Army Corps draft new Clean Water Act guidelines that threaten to seize control of all water supplies

By Jonathan Benson, May 4 2011
(NaturalNews) On Wednesday, April 27, the Obama administration's US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and US Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) jointly released a new draft guidance for the federal Clean Water Act that aims to dramatically expand both the scope of what constitutes a "water source," as well as the legal power federal agencies can exert over those water sources. If enacted, the proposal will basically allow the EPA and ACE to control any stream, pond, or even puddle that they determine...

Iowa Republicans conspire to ban video taping of abused animals at factory farms

By M.K. Tyler, May 4 2011
(NaturalNews) The state of Iowa has passed a bill that now makes it a criminal offense to document or expose animal abuse in factory farms or commercial operations. The bill, passed with a 66 to 27 vote, has been called an "assault" on first amendment rights by some animal activists - and rightfully so. Here are some of the main regulations and put forth by the bill: 1. Outsiders are banned from documenting or creating any kind of "record" of sounds or images heard or seen at commercial animal...

Do you need to take supplements? Part I

By Randall Neustaedter OMD, May 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Your need for supplements depends on many factors. Your age, the quality of your diet, and your state of health will all be factors to consider. For example, if your diet consists of whole foods, organically grown, with very little processed or packaged food, and a wide range of fresh fruits and vegetables, then you will be getting many valuable antioxidants and vitamins from your diet. Include some calcium sources, clean protein products, and healthy fats and your diet may be perfect...

Tai Chi is good for your heart

By David Hutto, May 4 2011
(NaturalNews) The benefits of exercise are usually thought of as coming from hard workouts -- no pain, no gain. While the benefits of hard aerobic exercise are real, there is surprising news from the April issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, associated with the Journal of the American Medical Association. According to the results of a clinical study published in the journal, the Chinese practice of Tai Chi "may improve quality of life, mood, and exercise self-efficacy" of patients with systolic...

Now that Osama Bin Laden is dead, can we fire the TSA and bring back freedom in America?

By Mike Adams, May 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Bin Laden is dead, we've been told. What a relief! According to the official White House explanation of events, it was Bin Laden who masterminded the 9/11 airplane hijackings and commanded his minions to fly them into the World Trade Center buildings. Therefore, we were told, we needed to bring in a whole new layer of airport security across America to keep us all safe from the evil mind of Bin Laden. This, of course, gave rise to the TSA. Now over 60,000 agents strong, the TSA is...

Wannabe experts claim healthy eating is a mental disorder

By Jonathan Benson, May 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Do you avoid foods that contain artificial colors and sweeteners, and stick to whole, unprocessed foods instead? If so, you just might have orthorexia, an imaginary "disease" created in 1997 by Dr. Steven Bratman that appears to be gaining more attention in recent days. According to a recent report in Yahoo! News, restricting one's diet to healthy, pure foods is a compulsive disorder that requires cognitive behavior therapy in order to cure. Written about in so-called respected health...

Zeolites useful for removing radiation from the body

By Sharon Stone, May 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Following the recent catastrophic tsunami that hit Japan, the nuclear reactor explosion from Fukushima Japan nuclear plant is blasting deadly radiation into the environment and poisoning human bodies. The victims need immediate protection or they can become deathly ill with nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, headache and fever. Even worse, radiation can cause long-term damage leading to leukopenia (cancer), genetic damage (inability to have children) and physical deformity. And the victims...

Army Corps of Engineers to blow up Birds Point levee near New Madrid as 500-year flood slams Midwest

By Ethan A. Huff, May 2 2011
(NaturalNews) In what is shaping up to be the worst flood situation in nearly a century, the swelling Mississippi and Ohio rivers have now breached their "flood stages" as persistent and torrential rains continue to pummel the Midwest states of Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee. Many areas of these states have already been flooded, and many more are threatened by emerging sand boils and falling levees that have reached or exceeded capacity. And unbeknownst to many Americans, the Army...

14 signs that the collapse of our modern world has already begun

By Mike Adams, May 2 2011
(NaturalNews) A lot of people believe the world as we know it is going to end on December 23, 2012. Nonsense, I say. The far more honest answer is that the end of the world as we know it has already begun. And it doesn't mean the end of the world; it means the closing of one era and the birth of a new one. It is a transition between the ages. This particular transition, however, promises to be the most tumultuous and costly transition humankind has ever seen. But don't wait around for December...

Be Prepared, Not Scared - Economic Survival seminar now available on Webseed.com

By Mike Adams, May 2 2011
(NaturalNews) S&P has already downgraded U.S. debt, and the global financial leaders are running from the dollar as quickly as they can. The Federal Reserve, meanwhile, has its counterfeit printing presses running 24/7, pumping more fiat currency into the system -- a move that will inevitably lead to a catastrophic collapse in the value of the dollar. And just to make things even more interesting, the federal government is spending us all deeper into debt, trillions at a time! What will you...

USDA to allow Monsanto to perform its own GMO studies

By Neev M. Arnell, May 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Last August, a federal judge admonished the USDA for approving genetically modified seeds without first doing the required environmental impact study. Now, the USDA has a solution--allow the biotech industry to conduct the studies itself. This means that Monsanto and other biotech companies will decide whether to approve their own products. In the case brought last August by environmentalists and the Center for Food Safety, Federal Judge Jeffrey White ruled that the USDA violated...

Junk food cravings trigger same brain activity as drug addiction, suggests study

By Jonathan Benson, May 2 2011
(NaturalNews) The brain's response to the tempting appeal of a sugary, fatty milkshake or to a bag of salty, greasy snack chips appears to be the same response a drug addict's brain exhibits when anticipating the next "hit," suggests a new study published in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry. Ashley Gearhardt of Yale University and her colleagues found that the addictive nature of many junk foods is literally the same as the addictive nature of drugs. The team analyzed the brains of a...

Vitamin D deficiency linked to childhood obesity

By David Hutto, May 2 2011
(NaturalNews) The role of vitamin D is increasingly recognized as important for maintaining health, not only for metabolism of calcium in bone health, but also for other conditions as well. This fact makes the current widespread vitamin D deficiency all the more compelling, and a study published in the May issue of Journal of Adolescent Health has found that serious deficiency and insufficiency of vitamin D exist among obese adolescents. The retrospective study, done at Hasbro Children's Hospital...

By Ethan A. Huff, May 2 2011
(NaturalNews) After failing to successfully gain enough signatures for ballot approval in 2004, advocates of legalized medical marijuana in the state of Arkansas have finally gained an opportunity to have a medical marijuana initiative placed on the 2012 ballot. According to a recent Reuters report, Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has certified a proposed medical marijuana measure, which gives its advocates until July 6, 2012, to collect a minimum of 62,507 signatures from at least 15...

(NaturalNews) Amid near-daily reports that the U.S. dollar continues to slide in value comes a report that China, the largest holder of U.S. debt, is considering dumping two-thirds of its dollar reserves, which currently stand at about $3.04 trillion. According to a report from China's Xinhua news agency, Xia Bin, a member of the Chinese central bank's monetary policy committee, recommends Beijing reinvest its foreign exchange reserves "more strategically." He says China should lower its holdings...

Death's door

By Mark Sircus., AC, OMD, May 2 2011
(NaturalNews) Before jumping into today's essay here is the latest news: Radioactive levels at Fukushima were about 250 times higher than a month before. TEPCO said the levels of caesium-134 and -137 increased about 250-fold and iodine-131 increased about 12 times compared with one month ago, after the accident had already happened. The water level in the No. 4 reactor's turbine building rose by 20 centimeters in 10 days. TEPCO has detected 8,100 becquerels of caesium-137 and 7,800 becquerels...

Cancer breath test coming soon: Your halitosis may actually be cancer tumor offgassing

By David Hutto, May 2 2011
(NaturalNews) It is important to diagnose cancer as early as possible. Some kinds of cancer, however, are especially hard to spot, including cancer of the head and neck. This is why a study published in the Journal of Cancer Research seems to hold good news for cancer diagnosis. The study showed that a device called Nano Artificial Nose (or shortened to Na-Nose) is able to detect metabolic byproducts in the breath of patients with head and neck cancer. In other words, Na-Nose can "smell" the head...

Eating fish helps prevent preterm births, suggests new study

By Jonathan Benson, May 2 2011
(NaturalNews) A new study published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology seems to confirm the notion that fish-based omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in proper fetal development. Dr. Mark A. Klebanoff from the Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and his team found that pregnant women who eat two-to-three servings of fatty fish a week are about 40 percent less likely to deliver early than women who eat less than one serving of fatty fish a month. For the study, Klebanoff...

Drastically decrease your exposure to BPA by eating less packaged food

By Ethan A. Huff, May 2 2011
(NaturalNews) One of the best ways to avoid exposure to the toxic plastics chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) might simply be to cut packaged foods from your diet, says a new study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. Plastic bags, containers, cups, wraps, and other types of food packaging often contain not only BPA, but other harmful plastics chemicals. But by eating only fresh, non-packaged foods, you can reduce your blood levels of these chemicals by up to 90 percent in just three...

Conventional medicine finally admits MS caused by vitamin D deficiency

By M.K. Tyler, April 29 2011
(NaturalNews) Is it true that those who suffer from Multiple sclerosis (MS) just need a little sun? Researchers at the University of Oxford seem to think so. In 2006, a study by the Journal of the American Medical Association suggested higher levels of vitamin D might decrease overall risk of developing MS. Now researchers at the University of Oxford are backing that study with further evidence while also suggesting a link between lack of sunlight and how the body responds when faced with an infection...

Hypocritical pediatricians push for stricter chemical laws at the same time they inject babies with toxic vaccines

By Ethan A. Huff, April 30 2011
(NaturalNews) The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently issued a policy paper condemning the current Toxic Substances Control Act (TSC Act) for failing to properly regulate the tens of thousands of toxic chemicals used in various consumer products, many of which are especially dangerous to pregnant women and young children. Though correct in its identification of chemical use as a toxic threat to society's most vulnerable individuals, the AAP hypocritically continues to support the intramuscular...

Police raid wrong house, hold circuit court judge at gunpoint

By Kaitlyn Moore, April 30 2011
(NaturalNews) The dynamics between the boys in blue and the African American Community were thrust into the spotlight again in South Florida. The incident originated from a concerned neighbor that called 911 to report a burglar at 235 Southwest 4th street. The problem? There was no such address, the responding officers had to choose between 236 and 230 Southwest 4th street. Instead of contacting dispatch to get a confirmation on location, to determine the number of suspects, the police charged...

By niamh marnell, April 30 2011
(NaturalNews) Apple's iPhone and iPad have been tracking the locations of users in a hidden file, according to The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/eTvBSm). Computer programmers, Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden, presented their findings last week at the O'Reilly Where 2.0 technology conference in San Francisco. Their research showed the iPhone and 3G iPads have been logging the location data for the past year after a software update installed a new hidden file on the mobile devices. The location...

Botox injections can cause you to lose touch with emotions of other people

By niamh marnell, April 30 2011
(NaturalNews) Botox might leave people looking good but, just when you thought it couldn't get more superficial, it will also leave them feeling less sensitive to others emotions', a new study in USA Today shows (http://usat.ly/hHIbXs). The glamorous neurotoxin has been used by the rich and beautiful -- yet aging -- people of America for the last 20 years. Its cosmetic use became widespread as a less invasive, less expensive alternative to plastic surgery (http://abcn.ws/ePIWmM). Botox works by...

Animal populations rapidly decline all over the world, many amphibians on the verge of extinction

By Ethan A. Huff, April 30 2011
(NaturalNews) A new study published in the journal Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences probes the issue of why animal populations around the world are quickly diminishing, and suggests that a variety of factors is to blame for the particularly high death rates among amphibians. Though not specifically mentioned as a factor, widespread pesticide and herbicide use, as well as the proliferation of genetically-modified (GM) species are two likely factors in what some scientists are now calling...

Excessive computer use linked to illicit behavior in children, say researchers

By Jonathan Benson, April 30 2011
(NaturalNews) Parents that allow their children to spend lots of time on the computer and in front of the television may be inadvertently contributing to an epidemic rise in "multiple-risk behaviors" (MRBs) among adolescents, suggests a new study published in the Journal of Preventative Medicine. High computer use, say researchers, can lead to a 50 percent increased risk of developing MRBs like drug use, drunkenness, and unprotected sex. When children are exposed to violence, wild partying, and...

The BP spill in the Gulf: One year later

By J. D. Heyes, April 29 2011
(NaturalNews.com) - It's been called the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, and rightfully so, if for no other reason than because, one year later, the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is like the nightmare gift that keeps on giving, some experts are saying. The Deepwater Horizon exploration platform, which was drilling in the BP-operated Macando Prospect 40-odd miles off the coast of Louisiana, exploded in a ball of flame April 20, 2010. The explosion killed 11 people, injured 17...
