Seven Good Reasons to Avoid Cow's MilkBy Sheryl Walters, January 7 2009
(NewsTarget) Drink all of your milk is a phrase many people grew up hearing. Yet evidence increasingly suggests that milk is not as healthy as it has been believed to be. Health concious people are giving up milk and turning to alternatives. Here are 7 reasons why all of us can consider avoiding cow's milk:
1) Milk doesn't keep our bones healthy, preventing fractures and osteoporosis. In fact, according the Nurse's Health Study, dairy may actually increase the risk of fractures rather than protecting...
How to Prevent Childhood ObesityBy Jo Hartley, January 7 2009
(NewsTarget) Children today are faced with many struggles. The most serious and widespread health problem they face, unfortunately, is obesity. Between 1986 and 1998 a national survey conducted showed that the incidence of obesity doubled in children between the ages of four and twelve. This is a 12% increase during this period. The good news is that this is a completely avoidable health problem that can be prevented.
Childhood obesity has several major causes:
•Inactivity – lack of exercise...
Four Minor Hormones have Major Consequences in the BodyBy Barbara L. Minton, January 7 2009
(NewsTarget) When hormones are in optimal amounts and balanced, the body is ready to play the music of life. Like an orchestra when some of the players have taken the day off, the body can't make beautiful music without all of its hormones being present and working together. Achieving hormonal balance takes some time, dedication and work. It is best done with the help of a physician who specializes in anti-aging medicine or hormonal balance. It's often achieved only after a period of trial and error...
Two Recent Studies on the Health Benefits of Fish and Fish ProductsBy Reuben Chow, January 7 2009
(NewsTarget) Fish has long been regarded as a healthful food, in particular for its high concentration of omega 3 fatty acids. Two recent studies have affirmed its health benefits in two different ways. First, a study on over 2,000 elderly persons in Norway found that eating fish and fish products improved cognitive function, while an American study on over 20,000 men found that eating fish might improve prostate cancer survival.
Improved Cognitive Performance
The Norwegian study, part of the...
Grapeseed Extract Kills 76% of Leukemia Cancer Cells in 24 HoursBy Mike Adams, January 6 2009
(NaturalNews) A new study conducted at the University of Kentucky in the United States, and published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, found that leukemia cancer cells exposed to grapeseed extract (GSE) were rapidly killed through a process of cell suicide known as "apoptosis."
In these laboratory studies, an astonishing 76% of leukemia cells committed suicide within 24 hours thanks to the ability of GSE to activate a protein called JNK, which regulates apoptosis.
In a healthy person...
Grape Seed Extract Kills Leukemia CellsBy Sherry Baker, January 6 2009
(NewsTarget) Grapes, grape juice and wine made from grapes have been in the news for the last few years -- making headlines for their potential heart protective benefits. Now there's another reason to appreciate the healthy phytochemicals contained in grapes. Researchers from the University of Kentucky have found a natural substance in the fruit that's deadly to malignant leukemia cells. The powerful cancer fighter, derived from grape seeds, triggered the death of 76 percent of leukemia cells exposed...
Preliminary Clinical Trial Shows Grapeseed Extract in Moxxor Reduces Exercise-Induced Oxidative StressBy Mike Adams, January 6 2009
(NaturalNews) A preliminary clinical trial has been completed by Dr. Glenn Vile in conjunction with HortResearch, a New Zealand research institution. Although the number of participants in the trial is small (eleven competitive rowers), the double-blind nature of the trial and the preliminary results indicate that the grapeseed extract used in Moxxor (a marine omega-3 nutritional supplement) may be beneficial as a dietary supplement for helping reduce oxidative stress during exercise.

New Research Scandal: Scientist’s Hidden Tobacco Agenda ExposedBy Sherry Baker, January 6 2009
(NewsTarget) Scientific research is sometimes tedious, often exciting and, in some cases, not exactly ethical. A case in point: prominent psychiatrist and strong proponent of anti-depressants, Charles B. Nemeroff, M.D., was recently discovered to have accepted $800,000 from drug giant GlaxoSmithKline, a fact he failed to disclose. Emory University learned of this violation of basic research ethics and took away Nemeroff's prestigious department chairmanship (http://www.naturalnews.com/025171.html...
Confessions of a pharmacist: What Big Pharma Won't Tell You about Prescription Drug Safety (Book Review)By Mike Adams, January 6 2009
(NaturalNews) Pharmacists are walking encyclopedias of knowledge about the dangers of drugs, but most of them follow a pro-Pharma agenda, so they never reveal the deadly truth about how dangerous these drugs can really be to your health.
There's only one pharmacist I've ever met who dares to think outside the Big Pharma pill box and tell patients the truth about how they can avoid the dangerous side effects of drugs and even learn how to replace dangerous prescription drugs with safe, natural...
Optimal Levels of Cortisol, Insulin and Thyroid are Essential to Vibrant HealthBy Barbara L. Minton, January 6 2009
(NewsTarget) People of today are seeking quality of life, in the midst of a polluted world, an onslaught of chemicals, and a medical establishment educated to reflect corporate interests rather than the interests of patients. They live in a country where the number one gross national product is stress. On top of that, they are the generation whose future is being diminished by the implementation globalism and the move toward one world government. Now more than ever, it is imperative for people to...
EMFs and Their Potential HarmBy Jo Hartley, January 6 2009
(NewsTarget) How concerned should we be about electromagnetic fields (EMFs)? In general, EMFs are probably not the most dangerous or troublesome source of harm people may consider in their daily lives. There are many more blatant sources of harm to one's health. However, it is important to realize that EMFs are potentially dangerous to our health.
Is it possible that the EMFs from power lines, transformers, airport radar, computers, microwave ovens, and other home wiring may cause brain tumors...

(NewsTarget) Osteopenia is a condition whereby there is loss of bone mass; it is not as severe as osteoporosis, but is generally accepted to lead to it. It is estimated that, in the United States, about 10 million people suffer from osteoporosis, while about 18 million have osteopenia. And a recent study conducted at the University of Toronto in Canada has found that vitamin K1 may protect postmenopausal women with osteopenia against bone fracture as well as cancer.

How Cruciferous Veggies Like Broccoli Fight Breast CancerBy Sherry Baker, January 5 2009
(NewsTarget) Food in the cruciferous, or cabbage, family of vegetables all contain phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, and fiber that make them healthy food choices. In addition, researchers have long noted an association between a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, bok choy and cabbage and a decreased risk in breast cancer. But how do these foods in particular exert their protective effect?
Scientists in the University of California at Santa...
Detoxify the Colon and KidneysBy Jo Hartley, January 5 2009
(NewsTarget) We are living in an age of increased toxicity in our society. Poor digestion; reduced liver function; poor elimination practices through the kidneys, respiratory tract, and skin; and colon sluggishness all contribute to people experiencing increased toxicity in their bodies. Many of the toxins that are invading the human body come from diet, drug use, and environmental exposure. The process of detoxification is the act of either removing or neutralizing these toxins from the body. In...
The Freedom Quiz: Do you Really Believe in Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion?By Mike Adams, January 4 2009
(NaturalNews) I've noticed that a lot of people who claim to believe in Freedom of Speech (or Freedom of Religion) are, in fact, just zealots of one kind or another who only believe in such freedoms for themselves. They may claim to believe in freedom, but when it comes down to it, they really can't tolerate opposing views or religious, and they secretly support the idea of "thought crimes."
So here's a quick quiz for you: Do you REALLY believe in freedom of speech and freedom of religion? If...
Spicy Food Can Prevent and Heal DiseaseBy Sheryl Walters, January 3 2009
(NewsTarget) Spicy foods add an incredible amount of flavour to food. As ethnic foods become abundant, chilli and spicy food is increasingly popular. The good news is that adding spice to our food has a range of benefits for our health and wellbeing.
Chillies have long been used in traditional medicine, probably first by the Aztecs. In Russia, a drink called Nastoyka (made from chillies soaked in vodka) has also been taken as a healing remedy.

 Sleep May Be the Critical Factor for Weight Loss and HealthBy Barbara L. Minton, January 3 2009
(NewsTarget) In an amazingly simplistic view of how things work, we have been told for the last 40 years that fat makes us fat. So we cut out the fat from our diets and discovered that we were not only still fat but unhealthy too. Then we were told that we needed to cut out even more fat and increase our visits to the gym. And to top it off, we were handed a copy of the government approved food pyramid or the diet of the National Cancer Institute and told that this is what we are supposed to eat...
Heal and Prevent Boils NaturallyBy Jo Hartley, January 3 2009
(NewsTarget) Boils are referred to as "furuncles" in the medical field. Boils are round, pus-filled bumps on the skin that are caused by a Staphylococcus aureus bacteria infection. These infections typically begin deep in the root of a hair follicle. The bacterium eventually works up to the surface of the skin and then erupts in a boil. Boils are very common among children and adolescents. A boil is the skin's way of cleansing itself of unwanted toxins. Treating boils both internally and topically...
Statins Raise Prostate Cancer Risk of Obese MenBy Reuben Chow, January 3 2009
(NewsTarget) A study conducted earlier this year at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research in Seattle found that the use of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, especially when used long-term, seems to raise the risk of prostate cancer among obese men.
Background
Statin drugs inhibits the enzyme which controls the conversion of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A to mevalonate; mevalonate is an essential precursor of cholesterol. Thus, statins are used extensively to treat high cholesterol.

Are You Ready for 2009? Top Ten Checklist for Health and Wealth PreparednessBy Mike Adams, January 1 2009
(NaturalNews) As the new year rolls in, the mainstream media seems to be saying now that 2008 is over, things will automatically get better for the economy. "Good bye 2008!" say the headlines. And "Hello New Year!"
The trouble is, in Washington D.C. there have been no decisions made whatsoever that could reasonably be expected to produce a better result this year. Let me review where we are right now as 2009 rolls in:

 Corporate and Government Policies Spark Food Crisis in AmericaBy Barbara L. Minton, January 1 2009
(NewsTarget) Americans are losing the ability to feed themselves. Nothing signifies this loss of the golden age in America more than our growing reliance on foreign countries for our food. Yet American's happily buy their produce from Mexico and their fish from China without giving it a thought. These are the same Americans who bemoan the loss of our manufacturing base saying that we should have done something about it before it was too late. Why can't they see the similarity to us losing our agricultural...
 Optimism Helps Reduce Cancer Pain and FatigueBy Reuben Chow, January 1 2009
(NewsTarget) Monty Python, in his hit song, asks us to "always look on the bright side of life". Recent research in the United States has revealed a very tangible benefit of a bright outlook – reduced cancer pain and fatigue.
Cancer – A Feared Disease
There are many aspects of cancer which makes it such a frightening disease. For example, it often does not exhibit symptoms until the time when most people think it is "too late" to do anything. This makes it almost a silent killer.
It makes...
 Cherries Found to Be a Natural Sleep Aid By Jo Hartley, January 1 2009
(NewsTarget) There is a tart cherry called Montmorency that contains a significant level of melatonin and hence is helpful as a natural sleep aid. The University Of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio recently discovered these properties in the tart cherry.
Melatonin was discovered in 1958 by a dermatologist named Aaron Lerner at Yale University.
Melatonin is a natural hormone that is produced in the pineal gland located at the base of the brain. It triggers sleepiness during night hours...
