Add Edible Flowers to Your Healthy DietBy Sheryl Walters, February 19 2009
(NewsTarget) People have been eating flowers almost since the beginning of recorded time. Who knows what prompted the first floral snack? It could be that the flower looked so tasty somebody tried eating it. We can be glad, for flowers still provide a delightful addition to a healthy diet. Let's explore some of the more popular edible flowers.
There is scant research related to the nutrient density of edible flowers. Most commonly known is that many, like roses, contain good amounts of Vitamin...
The Economic Fallacy of Government Intervention with Bailout MoneyBy Mike Adams, February 19 2009
(NaturalNews) The fallacy of all government bailout programs is the belief that money comes from nowhere and is created without consequence.
In reality, of course, money given to one group (or person) must be paid by another group (or person). Thus:
All financial bailouts are essentially a transfer of wealth from one person to another!
This being true, the very idea that "everybody should be helped by being bailed out" makes no sense. The real question is: WHO should the wealth be confiscated...
Rheumatoid Arthritis Medication Can Cause Shingles OutbreakBy Sherry Baker, February 19 2009
(NewsTarget) After a case of chickenpox, the virus that causes the disease -- varicella zoster virus (VZV) -- is never fully eliminated by the body. It hides in the nervous system but causes no harm unless it is reactivated by circumstances like stress, chemotherapy, or cancer. Then VZV can erupt into the often excruciating skin condition called shingles.
Now a new study just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), concludes a prescription medication used to treat...
Milk Products may Destroy Antioxidant Benefits in Fruits, Vegetables and GrainsBy Barbara L. Minton, February 19 2009
(NewsTarget) A recent article appearing on NaturalNews reported that milk destroys the antioxidant benefits of blueberries. This article left many readers wondering whether the outcome is confined to blueberries only, or whether there are broader implication that might extend to all fruits and even vegetables. A recent study has come to light that may help answer these questions. Researchers have found that the addition of milk also blocks the antioxidant potential of tea.
Milk cancels out the...
Chiropractic Brings Better Birth Outcomes By Sheryl Walters, February 19 2009
(NewsTarget) Chiropractic during pregnancy is an important part of prenatal care. Unfortunately, not enough women know of the benefits of chiropractic care both for themselves and their unborn baby. A woman's body undergoes an amazing amount of changes during pregnancy. As her baby grows her musculoskeletal system must adjust accordingly to accommodate the growing uterus and prepare for delivery. Chiropractic care helps her body to stay aligned as these changes occur and also helps to keep the nervous...
Too Much Television for Teens Increases Chances of Fast Food Junkie Young AdultsBy Reuben Chow, February 19 2009
(NewsTarget) When we slouch on the couch and spend hours staring at that colorful electronic box called a television, we are actually, subconsciously, taking in hours of subtle indoctrination via TV commercials. At the same time, we are also allowing ourselves to lapse into a sedentary lifestyle, snacking on junk food as a complementary habit. And these cause-and-effect links are very real, as revealed in a recent University of Minnesota study, which found that teens who watch more than 5 hours of...

Prevent Prostate Cancer Naturally with the Mediterranean DietBy Sherry Baker, February 18 2009
(NewsTarget) According to the American Cancer Society, close to 190,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed in the United States yearly. Approximately one man in six will be found to have the disease during his life and about one out of 35 will die from prostate cancer. In fact, prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death in American men, second only to lung cancer. But evidence is mounting there's a way men can take action to lower this high risk of prostate cancer. And the...
Soaring Autism Rates Linked to Environmental CausesBy Reuben Chow, February 18 2009
(NewsTarget) A study recently published in the journal Epidemiology has suggested that rapid increases in autism rates in California cannot be explained by migratory trends and looser diagnosis criteria, but is instead most likely down to environmental exposures. Not exactly news to those well versed in natural healing, but perhaps such findings will finally represent a breakthrough of sorts for the scientific and medical community.

For Digestive Bliss Eat Foods that Don't FightBy Barbara L. Minton, February 17 2009
(NewsTarget) How we eat may be just as important as what we eat. The diets eaten by most Americans are based on the belief that any number of different foods can be digested at the same time. This belief may be why more than half the population suffers from some sort of digestive distress for which there seems to be no remedy. As sales of antacids soar off the charts, maybe it's time to rediscover the art of food combining.
Indigestion and irritable bowel syndrome are modern phenomena

(NaturalNews) The Gardasil HPV vaccine may be harming countless young girls (and even boys) right now.

Resolutions to Affirm State Sovereignty may be Prelude to SecessionBy Barbara L. Minton, February 16 2009
(NewsTarget) Nine state legislatures have either passed or introduced bills intended to reaffirm their state's sovereignty as laid out in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments of the Constitution. Another twenty states are expected to introduce similar measures this year. While the ramifications of these resolutions are still uncertain, one thing is clear.

Vitamin D Fuels Muscle Power in Teen GirlsBy Sherry Baker, February 14 2009
(NewsTarget) Although vitamin D is naturally produced in the body through exposure to direct sunlight, vitamin D deficiency is now common in the U.S. The result can be a host of health ills, including severe conditions such as bone thinning osteoporosis and bone deforming rickets. Although a lack of vitamin D has long been known to weaken both the muscular and the skeletal systems of the human body, little has been known about how vitamin D contributes to muscle power and force --- until now. For...
Early Repeat C-Sections Linked to Health Complications in NewbornsBy Reuben Chow, February 14 2009
(NewsTarget) In order to make childbirth a smoother process, many pregnant mothers and their families schedule Caesarean sections a little earlier. However, a recent study has revealed that this could, literally, be a very unhealthy practice, as it greatly increases the risk of breathing problems, blood infections and other potentially dangerous complications in newborns.
