Conventional medicine offers no good defense for bird flu

By Mike Adams, May 9 2006
Can modern medicine save you from the bird flu if it becomes a human pandemic? Don't bet your life on it. As the World Health Organization explains on its site, "Although health care has improved in the last decades, epidemiological models from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, USA project that today a pandemic is likely to result in 2 million to 7.4 million deaths globally. In high income countries alone, accounting for 15 percent of the world’s population, models project...

Bird flu caused by man's inhumane treatment of animals

By Mike Adams, May 9 2006
When it comes to the bird flu virus, many people are asking, "Where did the virus come from?" The answer, as always, is unpopular with the popular press and the corporations that dominate the information you're allowed to see in this country. The bird flu virus, you see, wasn't created merely by chance, and it didn't just magically appear in migratory birds. In truth, the virus is the natural result of the mistreatment of animals as a food source. When you take tens of millions of chickens and pigs...

By Mike Adams, May 4 2006
Mike: We are here with Corinna Benoit of Nordic Naturals. That is NordicNaturals.com. Thank you, Corinna, for joining me today. Benoit: Thank you, Mike. I'm glad to answer some questions for you. Mike: You have a line of cod liver products and supplements for adults and children. Can you give us a brief description of your product line and what's unique about your products? Benoit: Specific to the cod liver products, let me start with what our source is. Nordic Naturals is the manufacturer...

Lying with statistics: How conventional medicine confuses the public with absolute risk vs. relative risk

By Mike Adams, May 3 2006
Which drug would you rather take? One that reduces your risk of cancer by 50 percent, or another drug that only eliminates cancer in one out of 100 people? Most people would choose the drug that reduces their risk of cancer by 50 percent, but the fact is, both of these numbers refer to the same drug. They’re just two different ways of looking at the same statistic. One way is called relative risk; the other way is absolute risk. Here's how it works: Let’s say that in a trial involving 100 people...

How To Get To Where You Want To Go With Your Health (preview)

By Mike Adams, May 3 2006
Achieving a real health outcome in real life is as simple as applying a few fundamental principles of self-improvement. To best explain this, consider what happens when an airplane takes off from Los Angeles and flies to Tokyo. The pilot doesn't just taxi the plane onto the runway, point it toward Tokyo, slam on the thrusters and then hope for the best. Instead, the pilot heads in the general direction of Tokyo and, during the flight, makes thousands of tiny adjustments to the plane's direction in...

FDA tyranny and the censorship of cherry health facts (opinion)

By Mike Adams, May 2 2006
In the past, I jokingly said that broccoli might someday be banned as soon as the public begins to learn about the potent anti-cancer chemicals found in the vegetable. That’s because, as I jested, the FDA wouldn’t want people treating their own cancer with the anti-cancer medicines found in cruciferous vegetables. But it seems that my joke wasn’t so funny after all, because the FDA is now threatening cherry growers with raids to confiscate their cherries, haul them into court, and put them out of...

Systems of medicine explained: Conventional, alternative, integrative, complementary and more

By Mike Adams, May 1 2006
What's the deal with all the different systems of medicine? And what's the difference between "Western medicine" and "conventional medicine?" Here, you'll find some honest answers. "Conventional medicine" refers to the classic medical training offered through mainstream medical schools. This is a drugs-and-surgery approach to medicine that largely excludes nutrition, wellness, mind-body medicine, patient education, and other natural therapies. "Organized medicine" refers to the collection of...

Skeptical about the skeptics: The Health Ranger answers the skeptics on natural medicine

By Mike Adams, April 28 2006
Whenever I really want to be amused, I spend a few minutes reading the latest admonishments and retortments from the extreme skeptics of natural medicine. By "extreme skeptics," I don't mean actual critical thinkers who apply genuine open-minded curiosity to the world around them, I mean the pseudoscientific zealots who berate anyone who believes in acupuncture, massage therapy, homeopathy, herbal medicine, sunlight therapy, breath therapy, meditation or any number of other natural healing modalities...

Bird flu poll reveals U.S. economic collapse likely in the event of a human pandemic

By Mike Adams, April 27 2006
There's a new poll about bird flu in the United States that gives us a somewhat alarming look at what might happen to the U.S. economy if the bird flu becomes infectious to humans. The Harvard School of Public Health conducted a telephone survey of 1,043 adults with a series of "what if" questions. The results of this poll show that 60 percent of the citizens in the United States are concerned about bird flu, indicating that there is very high awareness. Almost everyone has heard of the bird flu...

The future of food fabrication, intellectual property and seeds

By Mike Adams, April 26 2006
Sometime in the future, science is going to deliver to us desktop food fabrication equipment. These machines, which I'll call "FoodFabs," will be able to manufacture food items at the touch of a button on your desktop or countertop. It might have the size and shape of a microwave, but instead of punching in the time that you want, you punch in the food item you want. There was a glimpse of this technology in the movie The Fifth Element, in which leading lady Milla Jovovich approaches a machine, yells...

Sunshine heals cancer, and the FDA is powerless to stop it, regulate it or ban it

By Mike Adams, April 25 2006
Do you realize that one of the most powerful cures for cancer is streaming over our heads each and every day, free of charge? It's sunlight, which is astounding in its ability to prevent and cure cancer. If it were a mainstream drug, it would probably make the cover of Time magazine and be heralded as the greatest medical breakthrough in the history of modern science. It's that good. Sunlight exposure reduces the risk of many cancers by more than 50 percent and even helps reverse certain types...

Interview with Jon Barron of Baseline Nutritionals on herbal healing, the bird flu and alternative health

By Mike Adams, April 24 2006
Mike: Hello. This is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger. Ben Kage and I are joined by Jon Barron. He's the director of the Baseline of Health Foundation. He's on the medical advisory board of the Health Sciences Institute, one of my favorite publications. He's top man at jonbarron.org and the author of Lessons from the Miracle Doctors. Thanks for your time today, Jon. Barron: Nice to be here, Mike. Mike: For those who are not familiar with your work, can you give us a brief introduction of what...

Pretend medicine: Let's play doctor!

By Mike Adams, April 21 2006
Conventional medicine, as practiced today, is actually pretend medicine. Doctors and drug companies pretend to make patients healthier by giving them drugs. The FDA pretends to protect the safety of the public. Medical journals pretend to print only rigorous, scientifically-sound research papers. Drug companies pretend to care about the lives and health of patients. Non-profit disease front groups pretend to be searching for the cure while, in reality, most of them are only searching for more ways...

Bones and body parts don't wear out with age: Questioning the strange metaphors of conventional medicine

By Mike Adams, April 20 2006
I was talking to a physical therapist today, and he was trying to convince me that the human body wears out with use, sort of like car parts. He said to me, "Bone is bone." He explained that people who do a lot of running or punching have a lot of joint problems when they get older because the joints wear out when bone rubs against bone. There is a lot of misinformation and distortion in that belief system, though, as you'll see here. For one thing, bone is not merely a solid, inanimate object...

Unsafe snacks? New "Natural" Doritos contains yeast extract

By Mike Adams, April 19 2006
Frito-Lay has launched a new "Natural Doritos" product that doesn't have the usual monosodium glutamate (an excitotoxin) and artificial colors found in its flagship product, but it does contain another offensive ingredient: yeast extract. It's listed right on the package of the new Natural Doritos products. Yeast extract is a flavor-enhancing additive that many food manufacturers use in place of MSG. The problem is that yeast extract is a hidden source of MSG (monosodium glutamate), according...

Study shows the public is turning to alternative medicine and away from dangerous prescription drugs

By Mike Adams, April 17 2006
A study published in April 2005 revealed that more than 70 percent of adults aged 50 or older are now using some form of alternative therapy. This includes medicinal herbs, meditation and chiropractic care. The fact that these people are adopting alternative medicine and using it in their own lives is fascinating in and of itself, but what is really fascinating about this research is the response it has been getting from the conventional medical community. The co-author of this study, Gong-Soog...

NewsTarget survey results, part 3: Making health changes that positively affect work performance

By Mike Adams, April 13 2006
This is part three of the analysis of the NewsTarget readers' survey. The total number of responses for this section was 582. Here we asked people to rate whether their use of this health-enhancing information was positively impacting their work performance. The answer has come back as a resounding "yes." Of those who responded, 52.2 percent reported enhanced mental clarity or creativity at work. Approximately 34.5 percent reported improved memory and 34.7 percent reported improved work results....

NewsTarget survey results, part 2: Healthy actions = healthy results

By Mike Adams, April 12 2006
This is part two of the NewsTarget survey results analysis, continuing with healthy actions and healthy results. Sixty-five point four percent of NewsTarget readers reported experiencing an improvement of their overall health. It shows the incredible power of information to change people's lives for the better. I don't know that any other publication or book can claim to help improve the health of almost two-thirds of its readers. In fact, I don't know of any prescription drug, surgical procedure...

NewsTarget survey results, part 1: Huge percentage of readers make healthy changes

By Mike Adams, April 11 2006
The results are in, folks, and they are astounding. Readers are reporting major, significant, positive life changes after reading NewsTarget articles and commentary. The degree of these positive changes is revealed here in these survey results. More than 820 people participated in this survey, which asked people specific questions about what kinds of changes they've seen in their lives since reading NewsTarget. Here I'm going to discuss some of the more significant improvements and talk about the...

Disease Economy: How the United States economy runs on "treating" chronic disease

By Mike Adams, April 4 2006
This is an article about the disease economy. That's a term I coined because I could find no other existing term to describe what I'm observing in our economy today. I call it the disease economy because such a huge percentage of the economic activity and economic growth I see in this country is based on the manufacturing, marketing and selling of products and services based on disease. That is, products and services that either cause diseases or "treat" those diseases. How do I know we're in...

Antibacterial pencils: Toxic, useless and hazardous to public health

By Mike Adams, April 3 2006
I think this antibacterial products sham has gone way too far. Yesterday I was shopping at Office Depot, and guess what I found? Antibacterial pencils. Yes, it's true. I found some mechanical pencils made by PaperMate that have an antibacterial coating. Isn't this fascinating? We've seen antibacterial hand soaps and dish soaps, shampoos and all sorts of other personal care and cleaning products. And we've seen all the bad news about this, as well, including the fact that they are completely and...

Shattering the false philosophy and junk science of conventional medicine

By Mike Adams, March 30 2006
Have you ever wondered why pharmaceuticals don't work? By that, I mean that they don't make people healthier. Sure, some pharmaceuticals can modify a measurable chemical marker, but they don't make people healthier. We have 40 percent of the U.S. population on at least one prescription drug, yet our nation shows skyrocketing rates of all sorts of chronic diseases, like cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis. If pharmaceuticals work to make people healthier, we...

With Tysabri decision, the FDA declares no drug is too dangerous to be FDA approved

By Mike Adams, March 28 2006
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the agency that claims to be responsible for protecting consumers from dangerous food and drug products, has just surrendered its primary responsibility. Recently, an FDA advisory panel voted to recommend that a dangerous prescription drug Tysabri, which was withdrawn from the market a year ago due to its promoting of a deadly brain disease, should now be put back on the market. But here's the really shocking part: The justification for this decision to reinstate...

Bariatric surgery kills 5 percent of patients: Weight loss surgery takes deadly toll

By Mike Adams, March 22 2006
A new analysis of bariatric surgery patients, published in the journal Nature, reveals that this surgical procedure may be far more dangerous than most people believe. An astonishing 4.6 percent of patients who undergo bariatric surgery are dead within a year. That's almost one out of 20 people who die within a year following the surgery. That's a huge number, and it indicates the level of risk associated with bariatric surgery. With the number of bariatric surgeries performed each year in this...

The raw foods diet: The taste alone is worth it!

By Mike Adams, March 20 2006
Why would a person make raw foods part of their diet? There are a number of reasons, but perhaps the most important is the health benefit of eating raw foods. There is nothing healthier for the human body than the natural foods it was designed to consume. So, what was it designed for? Was it designed to consume liquid candy in the form of soft drinks, deep fried potatoes, Big Macs and Doritos? Of course not. Those things have only existed for a very short period of time, a few decades, whereas the...

The collapse of health and the downfall of the U.S. economy (preview)

By Mike Adams, March 20 2006
A new economic study by the U.S. government reveals that health care spending is rising so rapidly in the United States that in less than ten years, it will represent 20% of the domestic economy. That's an astonishing $1 out of every $5 in economic productivity, almost all of which is based on treating patients with fraudulently approved, dishonestly marketed and utterly harmful prescription drugs that do absolutely nothing to prevent or reverse chronic disease. This leads us to the astounding...

Human medical experiments go terribly wrong in "nightmare" TGN1412 drug trial

By Mike Adams, March 15 2006
"We told ya so" just doesn't cut it. Barely ten days after Truth Publishing warned the public about the dangers of medical experimentation on humans, a disastrous pharmaceutical experiment has left six men fighting for their lives. The scene was a living medical hell, say witnesses. After being injected with the anti-inflammatory drug TGN1412, patients began tearing their shirts off, screaming that their heads were going to explode. One patient's head swelled to triple its normal size, and patients...

Herceptin hype: Big Pharma's new "miracle cure" for breast cancer is inferior to free, natural cures

By Mike Adams, March 13 2006
The drug industry is happily jumping up and down, shouting about what it considers to be a new, amazing, miracle-class breakthrough drug for breast cancer. The drug is called Herceptin, and the words being used to describe this drug include "amazing" and "unprecedented." It's even been called "a cure" for breast cancer. When it was presented at a medical conference last year, the attendees gave the presentation a standing ovation, and almost every breast cancer charity is now loudly screaming about...

New omega-3 rich superfood discovery (preview)

By Mike Adams, March 13 2006
This is an exclusive story about one of the most exciting new superfoods you've probably never heard of. It is a selectively-bred superfood seed derived from chia. Chia is a well-known ancient grain or seed used by the Aztecs as a superfood source, and by itself it is very nutritional. It's something I've used for years in my own diet. Chia is loaded with omega-3 oils, high-quality proteins, fibers and lots of minerals, but this new superfood (which I'll just call "super chia" for convenience) takes...

Interview with David Wolfe on raw foods, the bird flu and herbal healing

By Mike Adams, March 8 2006
Mike: Today we're talking with David Wolfe. How are you doing today? Wolfe: I'm having the best day ever, by far. How are you doing? Mike: I'm doing pretty well, too. Now, let's talk about bird flu. What are you talking to people about in the world of food as medicine that can help defend them against bird flu or other infectious diseases? Wolfe: I think the first thing with nutrition is that we have to make sure that we are actually nourished, that we have a complete assortment of minerals...
