(NaturalNews) John Travolta, who is testifying in a case involving a $25 million extortion attempt against him, revealed this week that his son who died this year from a seizure was autistic. Sixteen-year-old Jett suffered from severe seizures every 5 to 10 days, Travolta testified, and then slept 12 hours to recover after each episode.
It's not uncommon for autistic children to suffer from severe seizures. This is an important clue about the causes of autism, as seizures reflect a serious neurological...

 Autism rates double in children as vaccines poison an entire generationBy Mike Adams, October 6 2009
(NaturalNews) According to a U.S. government survey just published, rates of autism in children have doubled since 2003. Today, an estimated 1 in 91 children are being diagnosed with autism, making this the highest rate in any population in the history of human civilization. Meanwhile, the vaccination push in America continues, specifically targeting children with not just seasonal flu vaccines (which may contain thimerosal), but also the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.
It all begs the question: Is there...

Will real health reform ever happen in America?By Mike Adams, October 5 2009
(NaturalNews) When it comes to affordable, effective health care reform in America, there's only one question that really needs to be asked right now: What works?
In other words, what works to keep people healthy? What's affordable, safe and supports the long-term health of the population? What's available right now that can help people get healthy and remain healthy?
Those answers aren't difficult. They're found, in fact, in the fresh produce section of every grocery store in America, and...
Scientists Document How Manuka Honey Fights SuperbugsBy S. L. Baker, October 5 2009
(NaturalNews) When infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, also known as superbugs, are in the mainstream news there's usually a sense of panic connected to the story. After all, this type of infection is spreading and can be life-threatening. For example, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a strain of staph that's become resistant to broad-spectrum antibiotics. MRSA can cause everything from swollen, painful boils to pneumonia, bloodstream infections and surgical wound...

Overworked, Sleep-Deprived Surgeons and Doctors Blunder Through Patient ProceduresBy David Gutierrez, October 5 2009
(NaturalNews) Medical staff in the United Kingdom committed 4,000 avoidable medical errors in 2008, according to a review conducted by the newspaper Daily Mirror.
Based on a review of medical records acquired through a Freedom of Information request, the paper catalogued 4,000 mistakes at just the hospitals that actually provided information. Only 97 of 172 National Health Service trusts in the country responded to the papers' requests, and of those most provided no details about the errors. In...
Essential Oils in Common Spices Kill Sickness-Causing Germs in FoodBy S. L. Baker, October 4 2009
(NaturalNews) When people talk about getting "food poisoning", they usually mean they became ill because of bacteria that contaminated something they ate. Some who comes down with this kind of foodborne disease simply has an upset stomach. But in far too many cases serious health problems and even death can occur, especially in very young children, the elderly and people who are already ill.
In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates 76 million people suffer from foodborne...

Anti-Inflammatory Painkillers Actually Worsen DementiaBy David Gutierrez, October 4 2009
(NaturalNews) Rather than reducing the risk of dementia as some researchers have suggested, regular use of anti-inflammatory drugs actually appears to worsen a person's risk of cognitive decline, according to a study conducted by researchers from the HMO Group Health Center for Health Studies and published in the journal Neurology.
Because chronic inflammation is known to play a role in the development of dementia, some scientists have suggested that regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory...
Trace mineral selenium helps prevent cancerBy Mike Adams, October 3 2009
(NaturalNews) The CSPI is reportedly suing Bayer over the company's claims that the selenium in its "One-A-Day" multivitamin formula helps prevent prostate cancer (http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE5905I320091001). It's rare to see NaturalNews actually siding with Bayer on anything, but in this case, I think it's worth pointing out that selenium is, indeed, a very helpful nutrient for preventing cancer (see below).
While I personally don't consume or recommend anything from Bayer...
Traditional Plant Medicine Could Cure H1N1 Flu Virus, Chinese Scientists FindBy S. L. Baker, October 3 2009
(NaturalNews) The government's pro-vaccine push and the mainstream media's near hysteria over the increased number of H1N1 (swine flu) cases can leave some people feeling almost helpless. After all, there are reports that anti-virus drugs like Tamiflu don't always work (and are known to have horrendous side effects), and no one can truly say the barely-tested flu vaccine has in any way been proven safe or effective. But what is overlooked by mainstream news and most of the medical community is that...
Scientists Around the World Condemn FDA for Declaring BPA is SafeBy David Gutierrez, October 3 2009
(NaturalNews) An international consortium of experts on the toxic chemical bisphenol A (BPA) has issued a statement condemning the FDA's insistence that the chemical is safe.
"It is becoming undeniable that BPA is dangerous," said Laura Vandenberg of Tufts University. "The FDA's standard for safety is reasonable certainty. It is no longer reasonable to say that BPA is safe."
BPA, used to make plastics hard and transparent, is commonly used in everything from baby bottles and water bottles to...
Globalization and Complexity Has Made Our World More Vulnerable to CatastropheBy David Gutierrez, October 2 2009
(NaturalNews) Economic experts are warning that the complex interconnectedness of the global economy makes it highly susceptible to collapse from one or two sharp shocks.
"While [complexity] helps the system diversify across small shocks, it also exposes the system to large systemic shocks," wrote Raghuram Rajan, an IMF chief economist and adviser to the Indian Prime Minister, in 2005. "It is possible that these developments ... create a greater ... probability of a catastrophic meltdown."

Researchers Find Kudzu, the Vine That Ate The South, Loaded With Health BenefitsBy S. L. Baker, October 2 2009
(NaturalNews) Kudzu, first introduced to the U.S. in l876 when the Japanese government brought the vine for a garden display at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, is often called the vine that ate the south. You'll understand why if you drive down country and even some suburban roads in Georgia, Alabama and other southern states -- there's no way you'll miss seeing thick kudzu vines winding to the top of mighty oaks, wrapping around telephone poles and covering countless hills and roadsides...
Elderly Need More Nutrition From Sunlight, Say ExpertsBy David Gutierrez, October 2 2009
(NaturalNews) Large numbers of senior citizens need to spend more time outdoors to boost their levels of vitamin D and lower their risk of chronic disease, researchers from Warwick University have warned.
"As we get older our skin is less efficient at forming vitamin D and our diet may also become less varied, with a lower natural vitamin D content," said lead researcher Oscar Franco. "When we are older we may need to spend more time outdoors to stimulate the same levels of vitamin D we had when...

Jury says chemotherapy drug death was "manslaughter"By Mike Adams, October 1 2009
(NaturalNews) A British woman, Anna McKenna, was being treated with chemotherapy in 2006. Due to a mistake by her pharmacist, she was given quadruple the dose of chemotherapy chemicals -- an error that continued for four treatment sessions and ultimately killed her (as chemotherapy is known to do).
When an investigation was launched into why she had been given a fatal overdose of chemotherapy, the prescription paperwork mysteriously disappeared. The pharmacist who made the fatal error was never...
Type 2 Diabetes Breakthrough: The Mediterranean DietBy S. L. Baker, October 1 2009
(NaturalNews) Natural health advocates have been shown to be right yet again. In one of the longest randomized trials of its kind, European scientists compared the typical low-fat diet for type 2 diabetes management prescribed by mainstream doctors to a Mediterranean-style (MED) diet rich in "good" fats (like Omega-3s and olive oil), veggies and whole grains. The results show the Mediterranean diet(http://www.naturalnews.com/026382_mediterranean_diet_health_foods.html) dramatically improved type...

The Chi Machine Offers Amazing Benefits By Sheryl Walters, October 1 2009
(NewsTarget) Eastern medicine is based on the idea that all illness is a result of blockages in the body`s Chi. Science is now beginning to open to the idea that Chi (pronounced "chee" whether spelled chi, qi, or ki) is a form of electricity that runs through every cell. When the Chi is not circulating properly, disease can occur. Dr. Shizuo Inuoue from Japan was interested in the incredible health of Japanese Goldfish in the 1950s. For 38 years he researched whether this same action could improve...
Read this, Senators: Taiwan's universal health care system provides full coverage for $21 a month - why can't we?By Mike Adams, September 30 2009
(NaturalNews) When people ask why I oppose Obama's health care reform proposals, I point out what a consumer (and employer) rip-off the current system of pharmaceutical medicine really is. Americans are victims in a monopoly medical scam that's enforced by the FDA and FTC with lots of propaganda support from the mainstream media and Big Pharma. This fraudulent monopoly system causes Americans to pay the highest prices in the world for pharmaceuticals and health care, even while receiving remarkably...
Home Births Proven as Safe as Hospital BirthsBy David Gutierrez, September 30 2009
(NaturalNews) Women who give birth at home do not have any higher rate of complications or death than women who give birth in a hospital, according to a study conducted by researchers from the TNO Institute for Applied Scientific Research in the Netherlands, and published in the journal BJOG.
"We found that for low-risk mothers at the start of their labor it is just as safe to deliver at home with a midwife as it is in hospital with a midwife," researcher Simone Buitendijk said. "These results...
Surprise: The Recession Could Be Good for Your HealthBy S. L. Baker, September 30 2009
(NaturalNews) As the U.S. continues to face economic woes, real estate melt-downs and mounting unemployment, many people worry that their standard of living may suffer. But if you think good health is a far grander treasure than a big house and fat bank account, here's good news: the recession could turn out to be good for a lot of Americans, both physically and emotionally.
In poor countries where people struggle to live on less than $5,000 per capita a year, it makes sense that economic growth...

Judge Rules GMOs Violate Environmental LawBy Kim Evans, October 6 2009
(NewsTarget) For those of us wondering how bad the untested genetically modified food experiment is going to get before it gets any better, a ray of hope was just offered. A San Francisco judge, the very honorable, Judge Jeffrey White just ruled that the U.S. Department of Agriculture`s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service violated environmental law because of inadequate environmental testing of genetically modified sugar beets. He ruled that the agency failed to see if the genetically altered...
Study Links Hypertension with Vitamin D DeficiencyBy Frank Mangano, October 6 2009
(NewsTarget) Up to now, it was mostly just a theory that low levels of vitamin D put people at risk for high blood pressure. But new research suggests this long held theory is set to become a theorem.
From age level to activity level, alcohol abuse to sodium abuse, there's no shortage of risk factors for high blood pressure. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is generally defined as any blood pressure reading that's measured above 140 mmHg for the systolic pressure reading, and 90 mmHg for...
Vitamin C Provides Powerful Health Benefits By Henri Junttila, October 6 2009
(NewsTarget) Vitamin C has always been claimed to be an essential nutrient for overall health and well being. Humans are not able to produce this vitamin themselves and it is therefore recommended that we take a supplement, or eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables daily, to ensure the correct dosage. Recent research conducted by the Linus Pauling Institute has discovered breakthrough evidence that Vitamin C has a positive effect in the prevention of heart disease and cancer.
Research has linked...
Learn the History of HypnosisBy Steve G. Jones, M.Ed., October 6 2009
(NewsTarget) Hypnosis has been used since ancient times, for thousands of years in Egypt and Greece. Hypnosis is even mentioned several times in the bible (Genesis 2:21, 1 Samuel 26:12, Job 4:13, 33:15, Acts 10:10). However, modern hypnosis started to make its impact in the late 1700's and has evolved since then as more research has been conducted (hypnosis.org). Advances in hypnosis continue to occur, even in modern times as we learn more about the human mind and its capacity.

Merck Blockbuster Diabetes Drug: Januvia Linked to PancreatitisBy Tony Isaacs, October 5 2009
(NewsTarget) U.S. health officials said on Friday they suspect Merck`s blockbuster diabetes drug Januvia to be linked to pancreatitis, a potentially fatal condition marked by serious inflammation of the pancreas. As might be expected, Merck company officials disputed the connection.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, 88 cases of acute pancreatitis had been reported since the drug`s approval in 2006 through February of this year by users of the drug and a related product Janumet, including...
Herbs and Natural Foods Maintain Optimum Brain Function By Melanie Grimes, October 5 2009
(NewsTarget) Many foods and nutrients are known to improve brain function. Fish has long been known as "brain food" because of the omega 3 fatty acids, but many other foods can improve and maintain healthy mental function and improve memory.
Foods that contain B vitamins help boost brain function. B12 in particular can help mental focus. (http://www.naturalnews.com/026522_vitamin_B12_blood_homocysteine.html)
Vitamin D has been shown to help improve mood. Vitamin D is actually a hormone and...
Superfood Profile: Discover the Health Benefits of Bee PollenBy Elizabeth Walling, October 5 2009
(NewsTarget) Before our modern age of sterilization and sanitation, traditional medicine was based on healing herbal and food remedies that may seem eccentric by our "civilized" standards. And while substances like bee pollen were highly prized at one time, today the idea may seem quite bizarre at first glance. Bee pollen, however, is one of nature's best kept secrets.
Beekeepers of old knew this, and considered honey rich in pollen to be a source of health and longevity. A prime example is the...
Vitamin B12 Just as Important as Folic Acid for Mothers-to-Be (Opinion)By Kerri Knox, RN, October 5 2009
(NewsTarget) Thanks to public health campaigns, it seems like everyone is aware that sufficient Folic Acid prevents 'neural tube defects' in developing infants. As such, most governments have made folic acid supplementation of many foods mandatory to prevent these permanent birth defects. A lesser known fact, however, is that sufficient Vitamin B 12 is just as important as folic acid in the fetal development of the brain and spinal cord- yet a handful of researchers seem to be the only ones concerned...
Alcohol: Find the Proper BalanceBy Frank Mangano, October 4 2009
(NewsTarget) You`ve no doubt heard the phrase "everything in moderation." It`s hard to find anyone that follows this maxim religiously; everyone falls off the wagon now and again, whether it`s eating too much or exercising too little. But the one place in which you really need to follow this maxim as closely as possible is when it comes to alcohol.
A new study always seems to be coming out hailing the health benefits of alcohol consumption, like how it can lower the risk for lung cancer. But just...
Hypnosis is Used in Study of Emotions By Steve G. Jones, M.Ed., October 4 2009
(NewsTarget) There is a lot still to be learned about emotions. Approximately 20 years ago, researchers were under the impression that emotions and feelings originated with the heart, not the brain. They also believed that emotions could not be measured with scientific research. In more recent years, researchers have found that emotions can play a major role in a person's overall health. A non-invasive way to study feelings and emotions is through the use of hypnotherapy and brain images (Brain &...
Live the Way of PermacultureBy Yamila Esther Gonzalez, October 3 2009
(NewsTarget) Permaculture is a way of living; it involves sustainability, ethics, community living, harmony with nature, appropriate technology, organic living, organic farming, etc. It is a way to integrate nature and people in the most sustainable way. This word, permaculture (that was originally derived from permanent agriculture), was originally coined by two Australians named David Holmgren and Bill Mollison in response to the challenges related to our survival.
In permaculture, ethics and...
How to Stay Sharp as a TackBy Dr. Julian Whitaker, MD, October 2 2009
(NewsTarget) A few days ago a song got stuck in my head- the slow, haunting violin melody that set the mood in the movie Platoon. But I couldn't recall who wrote it, and it bugged me. Later, when I wasn't thinking about it, I suddenly remembered it was Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.
We all have episodes like this. We forget names and misplace things. We lose our train of thought, and we walk into rooms with no recollection of why we went there in the first place. This is normal human behavior...
Do Not Kill a Fever: Fever Kills VirusesBy Paul Fassa, October 2 2009
(NewsTarget) Have you been influenced by modern allopathic medicine's obsession with lowering fever? Has this been a concern of yours? Ever since the turn of the 20th century, using drugs to lower fevers has been standard operating procedure for most allopathic medicine practitioners. Take two aspirins and call me in the morning was a common medical humor gag throughout the 1950's.
Aspirin type medications may be needed for pain reduction, but when it comes to reducing fever from influenza of...
Devastating Neurological Problems are Result of Dental AnesthesiaBy Kerri Knox, RN, October 2 2009
(NewsTarget) If you think that getting minor medical procedures or dental work with 'light' anesthesia is safe- think again. Nitrous oxide is a gas that is frequently used in dental procedures and other seemingly 'minor' in-office procedures to relieve anxiety and pain. But vitamin B12 levels are diminished every time that nitrous oxide is administered, and the result can be devastating neurologic symptoms.
While neurologic damage from Nitrous Oxide, better knows as "Laughing Gas", is rare it...
Learn which Four Amino Acid Supplements can Improve Energy and MoodBy Elizabeth Walling, October 2 2009
(NewsTarget) Everywhere we look there are advertisements for anti-depressants, stimulants and other substances that are supposed to help us feel better and more energized, but time and again these drugs prove to be ineffective and even harmful in the long term. Amino acid supplements, on the other hand, are an excellent alternative therapy for treating lack of energy and low moods. There are four amino acids that particularly work to improve energy and mood:

Toxins at Bhopal Still Kill Indians after One GenerationBy Tom Mosakowski, October 2 2009
(NewsTarget) It may come as a surprise to learn that the Bhopal disaster of nearly 25 years ago is wreaking havoc upon the health of a new generation of Indians. Hundreds of cases of birth defects and cancer are recorded each year among the local population exposed to soil and water contaminated from this disaster site. It has frequently been called the world's worst industrial accident.
On December 2, 1984 a storage tank at the Union Carbide pesticide factory in Bhopal, India exploded, releasing...

Simple Solutions Help Common Digestive ComplaintsBy David Rostollan, October 1 2009
(NewsTarget) Poor digestion is a problem most of us will probably face at some point in our lives.

Mind-Body Connection, Part III: How Our Beliefs Affect the Food We Eat (Opinion)By Alexander R. Lees, October 1 2009
(NewsTarget) There`s an old adage: We are what we eat. But, what determines what we eat? All of us are given one body for life, and how we treat our body will affect everything we do until the day we die. Some people regard their body as a temple and treat it accordingly. Others never stop and think about how they treat their body and can end up abusing it. The majority of people make some attempt to maintain a healthy and fit body.

A new study by UCLA scientists and colleagues from UC Riverside and the Human BioMolecular Research Institute, cited in the July issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, reports findings suggesting the possibility that Vitamin D3 and a chemical, curcumin, found in the spice turmeric...
Placebo Effect Regularly Beats Pharmaceutical DrugsBy Kim Evans, September 30 2009
(NewsTarget) A Wired UK article just told us a dirty little secret that the pharmaceutical drug world would rather keep quiet. That fact is: drugs are having a difficult time beating the placebo effect, and increasingly so. In fact, they're finding the placebo effect is getting stronger in people, making it more difficult for drugs to show any improvement over it. The credit for the increased placebo effect has been attributed to the increase in consumer advertising, which makes many consumers "believe...
