Americans fed up with drug industry influence, FDA corruption, reveals remarkable Consumer Reports survey

By Mike Adams, April 16 2007
(NewsTarget) More than four out of five Americans think drug companies have too much influence over the Food and Drug Administration, and 84 percent believe that advertisements for prescription drugs with safety concerns should be outlawed, reveals a striking new survey from Consumer Reports. The survey results, released today, are based on a telephone survey of 1,026 American adults conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center. They reveal the Food and Drug Administration to be...

The week in review: Questions and answers on health freedom, the FDA and more

By Mike Adams, April 14 2007
I wanted to publish a personal thank you to all the readers and supporters who have read and responded to this week's articles on health freedom, the FDA, the covert attacks on NewsTarget and natural medicine in general. You are a sharp group of thoughtful, skeptical readers, and the comments you've posted are almost universally right on the money. I wish I had time to personally answer them all. But I don't. So instead, I'm posting some follow up clarifications and comments in the hope of answering...

New FDA guidelines threaten religious freedoms; Holy water could be regulated as "drugs" and rosaries as "medical devices"

By Mike Adams, April 12 2007
The FDA has a long history of attacking and suppressing health freedoms (see our article, Tyranny in the USA: The true history of FDA raids on healers, vitamin shops and supplement companies), but did you know the agency might now be threatening religious freedom, too? Under the new CAM Guidelines issued by the FDA (see Health freedom action alert: FDA attempting to regulate supplements, herbs and juices as "drugs"), any items used in altering or enhancing the "function" of a living person are subject...

Tyranny in the USA: The true history of FDA raids on healers, vitamin shops and supplement companies

By Mike Adams, April 12 2007
Here's a brief overview of some of the campaigns of terror the FDA has initiated against natural healers, nutritional supplement companies and other organizations. Many were conducted using armed agents wielding assault rifles and automatic weapons, dressed in body armor. All of them were intended to destroy natural medicine, thereby protecting the profits of drug companies and conventional medicine practitioners. This is the true history of the FDA that the FDA doesn't wan't you to know! ...

Health freedom action alert: FDA attempting to regulate supplements, herbs and juices as "drugs"

By Mike Adams, April 11 2007
When it comes to health freedom, this is the FDA's end game. A new FDA "guidance" document, published on the FDA's website, reveals plans to reclassify virtually all vitamins, supplements, herbs and even vegetable juices as FDA-regulated drugs. Massage oils and massage rocks will be classified as "medical devices" and require FDA approval. The document is called Docket No. 2006D-0480. Draft Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food...

Conventional medicine vs. naturopathy: How to fix a leaky roof

By Mike Adams, April 10 2007
People often ask me about the difference in philosophy between conventional medicine and naturopathic medicine. While the differences are numerous, some of the more fundamental ones can easily be explained. Imagine your body is a house, and the health of your body is the maintenance of that house. If you don't do regular maintenance on this house, the roof of your house begins to leak and you might notice water dripping into your home every time it rains. The water is a symptom of an underlying...

Cornucopia Institute reveals agribusiness conspiracy to mislead consumers over almonds

By Mike Adams, April 9 2007
The Cornucopia Institute, a non-profit organization that promotes honest food and sustainable farming practices, has revealed details of the USDA's conspiracy with agribusiness interests to mislead consumers over the sterilization of almonds. A press release from the Cornucopia Institute, reprinted below, explains that new rules concerning the pasteurization of almonds are an "inside job," made without any real opportunity for public comment. The new rules requiring all California almonds to be...

Almond Board of California changes its story following NewsTarget article

By Mike Adams, April 6 2007
Following NewsTarget's original story about the Almond Board of California launching plans to falsely label pasteurized almonds as raw, the organization changed its story in emails being sent to consumers, and now claims the rules have nothing to do with the actual labeling of almonds. When NewsTarget first contacted the Almond Board of California on April 4th, we received a letter from the organization that stated, "As is the case with many other foods treated for safety, raw almonds that have...

Animals are smarter than humans when it comes to feeding their children (opinion)

By Mike Adams, April 6 2007
Humans are the only species on the planet who actually go out of their way to feed their children crap. All other animals instinctly seek out the best nutrition they can find. Birds find grubs, worms and insects to feed their young, honeybees painstakingly collect pollen and create a nutrient-rich superfood that gives rise to a living queen bee, and even dogs, cats and cows try to find the most nutrient-rich foods to offer their offspring. But humans? Most of them "reward" their children with...

Food Scam: Almond Board of California to falsely label pasteurized almonds as "raw"

By Mike Adams, April 5 2007
The Almond Board of California, which oversees virtually 100 percent of the almonds grown and consumed in the United States and Canada, is now implementing plans to pasteurize all almonds at temperatures up to 158 degrees (F) and yet have them intentionally and falsely labeled as "raw." The decision was made following the 2001 and 2004 outbreaks of salmonella in almonds, and is based on the intention of the Almond Board of California to provide a "safe, nutritious product to consumers" but not, it...

The top five nutrients for healthy skin

By Mike Adams, April 4 2007
The skin is one of the most powerful indicators of health. Wrinkles, dry or oily skin, acne, and inflammation all are signs of poor internal health, often brought on by consuming unhealthful foods and avoiding skin-healthy nutrients. To treat skin problems, most people turn to mainstream topical cosmetics, including lotions, soaps, scrubs, toners, and creams. However, treating outer blemishes with expensive, chemical-laden beauty products does little to address the root cause of the problem: poor...

The secret history of Big Pharma's role in creating and marketing heroin, LSD, meth, Ecstasy and speed

By Mike Adams, April 3 2007
Most consumers think that street drugs are in an entirely different class than prescription drugs, and they believe that pharmaceutical companies would never manufacture or sell street drugs. But guess what? As you'll read here, drug companies actually invented many of the street drugs now considered to be the most devastating, including heroin and meth ("ice"). Here are seven facts you probably never knew about the connection between street drugs and pharmaceutical companies: 1. Heroin was...

Interview: Organic Consumers Association's Ronnie Cummins tells the truth about organic milk that isn't

By Mike Adams, April 2 2007
With consumer demand for organic products continuing to grow, more large corporations are entering the organic market. To maximize profits, some of these companies don't follow organic standards but still label products as organic. For example, Horizon Organic and Aurora Organic, sold by Wal-Mart and other retailers, continue to produce "organic" milk under factory-farm conditions that few reasonable people would consider truly organic. According to the Organic Consumers Association, half of...

Chocolate raw foods roundup: The best new chocolate superfood bars revealed

By Mike Adams, March 29 2007
Ah, the taste of raw chocolate! It's more than just a food, it's a superfood with increasingly well-documented health benefits. The very name of one of the active chemical components in chocolate (theobromine) is derived from the word theos (the same word root as theology), which gives you a hint of just how much our ancestors worshipped chocolate as, "food of the Gods." As more consumers are seeking healthful chocolate bars without all the added sugars and milk fat, I set out to find the best...

NewsTarget readers making waves across the natural health, natural living markets (opinion)

By Mike Adams, March 28 2007
I must be the luckiest journalist working today. Why? Because I have the distinct honor of writing for an expanding group of readers that has become the most highly regarded audience in the natural health community. That's not mere puffery, either. Let me explain why. Each time I write a review about a particular company or product, I later receive a call from the company that was mentioned. The content of these calls is quite interesting, and it says a lot about the quality and character of NewsTarget...

Product review: IQAir HealthPro air purifier is a robust, high-end air filter for home or office

By Mike Adams, March 26 2007
It's bad enough that we have to suffer with many different sorts of pollution outdoors in our everyday life, but when this sort of contamination invades our homes, what we're often breathing can hardly be called fresh air any longer. Even though it may feel nice to stand in front of an air conditioner on a hot day, the indoor air you're breathing is probably not as refreshing as you might think. It's actually filled with indoor pollutants that may include radon, pet dander, dust mite allergens,...
