Hemp for America! Farmers plant hemp seeds on DEA's front lawnBy Mike Adams, October 16 2009
(NaturalNews) You can buy hemp products in America, including textiles, nutritional supplements, soaps and ropes. You just can't grow hemp in America. So all the hemp used in these products purchased by Americans is grown somewhere else: China, Canada, India, Chile and many other countries. Meanwhile, Americans farmers suffer under increasing debt and decreasing revenues from stalled crop prices. What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong, it turns out, is that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency...
Got Bad Breath? Try Chlorophyll for HalitosisBy Mike Adams, October 16 2009
(NaturalNews) Forget about breath mints. You can never take enough to cover halitosis if your breath really smells bad. The only real way to get rid of bad breath is to solve the problem internally.
Fortunately, there's an easy way to do that: Chlorophyll. It's Mother Nature's amazing green cleaning machine, and the more you take, the cleaner you get.
Here, we bring you a collection of supporting quotes about chlorophyll and halitosis (bad breath) from some of the best-known natural health...
Cheap, all natural, one minute test outperforms MRI for diagnosing strokeBy S. L. Baker, October 16 2009
(NaturalNews) If you have severe dizziness and especially if you have hypertension or high cholesterol, it's important to be checked out to see if you are having a stroke. A trip to the emergency room for those kinds of symptoms usually involves a costly, high tech MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). But a new study from stroke researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Illinois concludes there may be a better, simpler -- and far cheaper and quicker -- way to distinguish a stroke from other...
Conflicts of Interests Haunt Doctors who Promote PharmaceuticalsBy David Gutierrez, October 16 2009
(NaturalNews) Accepting gifts from pharmaceutical companies creates a subtle but potent pressure upon doctors to serve that company's interests, according a commentary published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Blood pressure researcher Bruce Psaty of the University of Washington writes that while he used to take gifts from pharmaceutical companies, he soon learned that he found himself invariably disposed to subtly promote those companies' products.

Massage Brings More than Just RelaxationBy Sheryl Walters, October 16 2009
(NewsTarget) The tremendous benefits of regular massage are irreplaceable to the human body. Massage is a variety of sometimes ancient techniques that manipulate the soft tissues of the body. It can definitely relax you, but there are some benefits of massage that go far beyond relaxation.
Pain and anxiety are two common problems associated with receiving massage therapy. By soothing muscles and nerves a greater state of well being is achieved for the recipient. When you take this concept further...
 There's no such thing as a virus that causes chronic fatigue syndromeBy Mike Adams, October 15 2009
(NaturalNews) Beware, readers, when you see articles in the mainstream media claiming that a retrovirus causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The stories quote new research published in the journal Science which claims that this virus -- known as XMRV -- was found in 67% of CFS sufferers but only 4% of the general population. From there, the media leaps to the wild conclusion that CFS is caused by this virus.
What you need to know is that this disinformation is laying the groundwork for a future...
Chaparral is natural medicine for treating cancerBy Mike Adams, October 15 2009
(NaturalNews) If you search for natural cancer remedies, you'll eventually find information about chaparral -- a powerful healing herb that grows in the desert regions of the American Southwest (among other places). (In fact, where I used to live in Tucson, chaparral just grows wild all over the place The chaparral plants just seem endless...) But it's not just good against cancer: Chaparral is also a powerful anti-bacterial and anti-viral medicine.
In the paragraphs below, you'll find an amazing...
Men not being informed about low benefits and high risks of PSA prostate cancer screeningBy S. L. Baker, October 15 2009
(NaturalNews) Regular readers of NaturalNews know that recent studies have found little if any benefit to prostate cancer screening tests (http://www.naturalnews.com/026787_cancer_Prostate_prostate_cancer.html). What's more, although about one in six men will be diagnosed with the disease during their lifetime, only one in 35 will actually die from prostate cancer -- and the latest research shows that a diagnosis of the disease does not automatically mean any treatment is needed at all (http://www...
Growth Hormone Restores Muscle Strength in AdultsBy David Gutierrez, October 15 2009
(NaturalNews) Treatment with growth hormone can restore muscle strength to adults with adult-onset growth hormone deficiency, according to a study conducted by researchers from Goteborg University in Sweden, and published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.
Growth hormone deficiency may occur in children -- usually due to genetic reasons -- or in adults -- usually due to tumors of the pituitary gland. Roughly one in every 10 million adults suffers from adult-onset growth...
 Flu vaccines revealed as the greatest quackery ever pushed in the history of medicineBy Mike Adams, October 14 2009
(NaturalNews) Prepare to have your world rocked. What you're about to read here will leave you astonished, inspired and outraged all at the same time. You're about to be treated to some little-known information demonstrating why seasonal flu vaccines are utterly worthless and why their continued promotion is based entirely on fabricated studies and medical mythology.

Capsaicin could stop a heart attack in progress, scientists findBy S. L. Baker, October 14 2009
(NaturalNews) The late, famed herbalist Dr. John Christopher was nicknamed "Dr. Cayenne" because he was constantly recommending the healing powers of cayenne, the substance found in chili peppers that produces a sensation of heat. He especially advocated using it for cardiovascular health and even made the claim that doses of cayenne could stop heart attacks in progress (http://www.naturalnews.com/026869_cayenne_cayenne_pepper_health.html). Now science has come up with proof cayenne does have a remarkable...
Natural remedies for acneBy Mike Adams, October 14 2009

 Sixty million years of evolution says vitamin D may save your life from swine fluBy Mike Adams, October 13 2009
(NaturalNews) People still don't get it: Vitamin D is the "miracle nutrient" that activates your immune system to defend you against invading microorganisms -- including seasonal flu and swine flu. Two months ago, an important study was published by researchers at Oregon State University. This study reveals something startling: Vitamin D is so crucial to the functioning of your immune system that the ability of vitamin D to boost immune function and destroy invading microorganisms has been conserved...

It also happens to be a powerful anti-cancer medicine that can both prevent and help reverse breast cancer.
Yet, bewilderingly, the cancer industry still refuses to teach women about vitamin D. Ever wonder why?

Proton pump inhibitor linked to pneumonia deaths in hospitalized patientsBy S. L. Baker, October 13 2009
(NaturalNews) Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs, for short) have become hugely successful money makers for Big Pharma over the past decade, with sales of these stomach-acid reducers adding up to about $25.6 billion last year alone. The drugs (like Prilosec, Nexium, Prevacid and Aciphex) are sold both in prescription strength and over-the-counter to treat heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). As NaturalNews has previously reported, PPIs are not the safe and innocuous medications most physicians...
GM Soy Herbicide Linked to Birth DefectsBy David Gutierrez, October 13 2009
(NaturalNews) The active ingredient of the popular herbicide Roundup, widely used on lawns and genetically modified (GM) crops worldwide, causes birth defects of the brain, heart and intestines even in minuscule doses, Argentinean researchers have found.
"The observed deformations are consistent and systematic," said lead researcher Andres Carrasco, director of the Laboratory of Molecular Embryology at the University of Buenos Aires.
Argentina is the world's third largest exporter of soy, planting...
 Who got to Dr. Diane Harper? Cervical cancer researcher retracts story warning about HPV vaccines (opinion)By Mike Adams, October 12 2009
(NaturalNews) Last week, NaturalNews reported public statements attributed to Dr. Diane Harper, a researcher who worked on both the Gardasil and Cevarix vaccines. A story appearing in the UK paper Sunday Express, entitled "Jab as deadly as the cancer," quoted Dr. Harper as saying the cervical cancer vaccine might be more dangerous than the cancer it was supposed to prevent.
In the time since that story was published, Sunday Express has been under relentless attack by pro-pharma "scientific" journalists...

Astragalus "super herb" protects, supports immune system functionBy Mike Adams, October 12 2009

Vaccine revolt! Swine flu vaccine support crumbles as flimsy rationale for H1N1 shots becomes apparentBy Mike Adams, October 12 2009
(NaturalNews) Public support for the swine flu vaccine is evaporating by the day as the rationale for the vaccine appears increasingly ludicrous to anyone paying attention. Moms, nurses, day care workers and members of the general public are increasingly realizing that Big Pharma's rationale for swine flu vaccination just doesn't add up.
Recent polls conducted by the mainstream media indicate that more than fifty percent of moms are refusing to expose their children to the swine flu vaccine, and...
Children exposed to harmful radiation from unnecessary CT scansBy S. L. Baker, October 12 2009
(NaturalNews) If a child is accidentally hit in the head with a baseball or kicked in the forehead during roughhousing, it can be scary for the youngster and the parents, too. After all, traumatic brain injuries are sometimes serious. They result in about 7,400 deaths a year to American kids 18 years old and younger. So it makes sense to have children checked out for a concussion or other signs of brain injury if they've experienced head trauma, especially if they were knocked unconscious. But far...
Nicotine gum linked to mouth cancerBy David Gutierrez, October 12 2009
(NaturalNews) Smoking cessation products such as nicotine gum, lozenges and inhalers may contribute to the development of mouth cancer, according to a study conducted by the Medical Research Council and published in the journal PLoS One.
"Although we acknowledge the importance of encouraging people to quit smoking, our research suggests nicotine found in lozenges and chewing gums may increase the risk of mouth cancer," said lead researcher Muy-Teck Teh, of Queen Mary, University of London.

Sun's Plasma Balls Could Wipe Out Human Civilization - Technology is the Achilles HeelBy David Gutierrez, October 11 2009
(NaturalNews) Natural fluctuations in the sun's atmosphere could cause it to fire a giant plasma ball at Earth, shutting down the planet's electric grids and leading to widespread social collapse, according to a report from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS).
Funded by NASA, the report draws attention to naturally occurring events known as coronal mass ejections (CME), in which a ball of plasma -- the charged, high-energy particles that comprise stars -- is fired from the sun. If...
Scientist, 94, goes after the FDA for misleading trans fat food labelsBy S. L. Baker, October 11 2009

Not only is he continuing to conduct research on how trans fats in the diet can harm health, he's taking on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and sounding the alarm that the federal agency is allowing inadequate and misleading trans fat food labels which are downright dangerous to health.
Last month, Dr. Kummerow filed a 3,000 word petition...
CSPI "top 10 risky foods" list gets it wrong: We need more leafy greens, not lessBy Mike Adams, October 10 2009
(NaturalNews) This week, the CSPI released a "risky foods" list aiming to reveal the top ten riskiest foods responsible for most food-borne illnesses. Number one on the list is "leafy greens." Does this mean people should stop eating leafy greens? Of course not: The list itself is flawed from the very start.
There's nothing inherently "risky" about leafy greens. There has never been a single food-borne illness caused by a leafy green. What causes food-borne illnesses are the bacteria that get...

Bogus Science: Medical "Fact" About Aging Brains Shrinking is WrongBy S. L. Baker, October 10 2009
(NaturalNews) As people age, the chance of dementia rises. The most dreaded form of this memory robbing condition is Alzheimer's disease (AD). Already the seventh-leading cause of death in the U.S., the incidence of Alzheimer's is expected to soar as the huge Baby Boomer generation ages. According to the National Institute on Aging, as Alzheimer's progresses, the brain shrinks. So it is not a comforting thought to know that science has long stated aging brains shrink as we grow older, even if you...
Asthma Caused by Deficiency in VitaminsBy David Gutierrez, October 10 2009
(NaturalNews) Low vitamin intake may increase the risk and severity of asthma, according to a study conducted by researchers from Nottingham University and published in the journal Thorax.
"Our findings indicate that low levels of vitamin C intake and to a lesser extent vitamin A are consistently associated with asthma risk to a degree that, if causal, would be sufficient to be clinically relevant," said lead researcher Jo Leonardi-Bee.

Radon in Homes is the Second Leading Cause of Lung CancerBy Tom Mosakowski, October 15 2009
(NewsTarget) It is well known that the main cause of lung cancer among smokers is their cigarettes, but unbeknownst to many is that this cancer develops in a large number of nonsmokers. The leading cause of lung cancer for nonsmokers is exposure to radon in the home. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 3-14% of lung cancer cases are caused by low- and medium-level exposure to radon in homes. This makes it the second leading cause of lung cancer (1).

Why You Should Say No to GMOs (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, October 15 2009
(NewsTarget) Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are the latest travesty thrust upon an unsuspecting public by the greedy, control minded corporations that see the Almighty Sign ($$) as the ultimate in achieving the highest "bottom line" possible. If you control the food supply you control the people. If you control the people, then ultimately they will work for you and their money is yours.

How Cleansing Cures Cancer: One Woman's StoryBy Allison Biggar, October 15 2009
(NewsTarget) The relationship between unhealthy eating and the development of disease is undeniable. When most people get a cancer diagnosis their doctors are quick to prescribe drugs and harsh treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery. All of these treatments have a harrowing effect on the body opening it up to a whole host of other problems.
Holistic health practitioners, on the other hand, will often recommend detoxification methods such as cleansing to eliminate cancer from the...
Change Lifestyle and Rebalance an Underactive ThyroidBy Alex Howard, October 15 2009
(NewsTarget) The thyroid gland lies in the neck, just below the Adam`s apple. It produces the hormone thyroxin which controls the rate of metabolism in the body. The thyroid gland is also the body`s internal thermostat; it controls the hormones which control the speed the body burns calories and uses energy. If the thyroid gland under-produces thyroxin, it can slow down all metabolic processes in the body. This can lead to fatigue, weight gain and sensitivity to the cold that many sufferers of low...

Colloidal Silver is an Antibacterial, Antifungal and Antiviral MiracleBy Ethan Huff, October 14 2009
(NewsTarget) The element silver has long been recognized as a precious metal of significant value. In fact, prior to the early '60s, silver was used to make quarters and dimes because it held its value in weight.

Ratio of Good to Bad Estrogens Influences Your Breast Cancer RiskBy Kerri Knox, RN, October 13 2009
(NewsTarget) Women are inexorably bound to the hormone Estrogen and the ups and downs that it may bring, but all estrogen is NOT the same. In terms of breast cancer risk, there are actually TWO relevant estrogens. One can INCREASE breast cancer risk; the other can DECREASE it- and the ratio of the two is Vital for breast health.
While women have many different estrogens in their body, the estrogen compounds called 2-hydroxyestrone and 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone are by far the most important for breast...
Why and How to Avoid GMO FoodsBy Paul Fassa, October 13 2009
(NewsTarget) The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) states, "Genetically Modified foods have not been properly tested and pose a serious health risk.

The AAEM also called for a moratorium on GMO's in food and for physicians to advise their patients to avoid GM foods. Since the massive invasion of GMO's into the food supply from 1996, chronic diseases and food allergies have doubled...
