Mass Pirating of NaturalNews Content Escalates into Threats of Violence - Article RemovedBy Mike Adams, January 28 2009
The original story posted here has been removed. It was a factual account of an author who was pirating NaturalNews content and calling it his own. The story was factual and accurate, and it expressed disbelief that someone would pirate NaturalNews articles and even my own bio, calling it his own and then placing ads that earn him revenue for the articles he blatantly stole from NaturalNews.
The reason we have taken this article down is a serious one: We received a post from a reader who shared...

In the West, acceptance is based less on tradition and more on the results of the scientific method. Researchers have been busy scientifically documenting what Chinese tradition dictates, that mushrooms are some of the most potent medicines on the plant. Recent research...

(NaturalNews) When 13 charity organizations helping to feed, treat and bury all the victims of the Israeli attack on Gaza attempted to run an ad on the BBC asking for humanitarian financial aid, the response they received shocked the whole world: No!

USDA Backs Off Mandatory National Animal Identification RegistrationBy Barbara L. Minton, January 27 2009
(NewsTarget) In this time of deflationary pressure on all agricultural products, farmers and ranchers got a token boost at the end of December when the USDA`s Animal and Plant Health Inspection-Veterinary Service officially cancelled its Mandatory Premise Registration Directive. The action is seen as confirming the USDA outstripped its authority when in September, under the cover of all the hoopla about the election it changed the status of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) from voluntary...
Control Dust Mites NaturallyBy Jo Hartley, January 27 2009
(NewsTarget) Dust mites are mites that live in house dust. It is actually the feces of dust mites that are the most common trigger of asthma and breathing difficulties. Dust mites produce fecal matter approximately 20 times each day and these feces are light enough to float in the air. This means that this is easily inhaled. Approximately 40,000 dust mites can occupy one speck of dust so it is easy to imagine the amount of dust mite feces that are inhaled with every indoor breath taken.

Study Says Volunteering Improves HealthBy Reuben Chow, January 27 2009
(NewsTarget) They say that when you give, you receive. How true is it, or is it just some airy statement championed without logic or reason?

In a study carried out at Purdue University, it was found that regular volunteers have better cardiovascular health as well as lower blood pressure than their non-volunteering counterparts.

The confirmation process that Vilsack and his other...

(NewsTarget) Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for healthy people and those who may have or be at risk of cardiovascular disease.

Natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids are best and one of the best sources is salmon. Recent studies have concluded that not all salmon is equal, however. When choosing between wild and farm-raised salmon, the most healthy...
