Urgent: Stop the National Uniformity for Food Act (H.R. 4167) before it wipes out hundreds of food safety labeling laws

By Mike Adams, March 4 2006
Keep up the pressure on your lawmakers to stop passage of H.R. 4167, a bill heavily supported by junk food manufacturers that would -- believe it or not -- make it ILLEGAL for States to protect their citizens from food products containing heavy metals, cancer causing chemicals, aspartame and other dangerous ingredients. For example, California currently operates under a law called Proposition 65, which requires food manufacturers to list cancer-causing or birth defect-causing ingredients on their...

Bird flu spreading rapidly; U.S. government warns population

By Mike Adams, March 2 2006
(From BirdFluDefense.com) The news on bird flu just keeps getting worse. The virus has now reportedly jumped species and infected a cat in Germany. One infected cat by itself does not equal a pandemic, but it does demonstrate how easily this virus can jump species, potentially infecting humans in the near future. Bird flu is right now spreading more rapidly than anyone could have guessed six months ago. The virus has now infected poultry farms in France, and chicken consumption is already down...

JAMA says doctors should stop accepting bribes from drug companies

By Mike Adams, March 1 2006
The Journal of the American Medical Association is rocking the boat in conventional medicine. An article in JAMA has come up with the suggestion -- aghast! -- that doctors should stop accepting bribes from drug companies. Most people didn't know that doctors routinely accept bribes (including hundreds of thousands of dollars in "contractor's fees" for signing patients up for drug trials), so this news may come as a bit of a shock to some. Big Pharma spends nearly $19 billion a year bribing and...

Action alert: Stop Congress from taking away your right to know what's in your food

By Mike Adams, February 28 2006
The House of Representatives will vote this week on a controversial "national food uniformity" labeling law that will take away local government and states' power to require food safety labels such as those required in California and other states on foods or beverages that are likely to cause cancer, birth defects, allergic reactions, or mercury poisoning. This bill would also prevent citizens in local municipalities and states from passing laws requiring that genetically engineered foods and ingredients...

Health folklore: We really are what we eat

By Mike Adams, February 23 2006
A lot of truths about food and health are readily found in folklore. You've all heard phrases like, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," or "You are what you eat." Both of these phrases have a foundation in reality. For example, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" suggests that people should eat fresh produce and raw foods. An apple is a raw, living food. This phrase also suggests that an apple should be consumed every single day. In other words, we should live on these foods. They should be...

Medicine's assault on calcium: Quack science fuels calcium bashing frenzy

By Mike Adams, February 22 2006
In the world of health news, I'm not sure who's worse: Dishonest researchers or illiterate science reporters. But in this case -- lucky us -- we get both. The issue surrounds the reporting of a recent study on calcium supplements in post-menopausal women conducted by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), a U.S. government program. According to practically everybody in the mainstream press, the study shows little or no benefit of taking calcium supplements. Here's a sampling of the headlines you may...

Hoodia fraud: Counterfeit hoodia gordonii weight loss pills dominate the market

By Mike Adams, February 21 2006
This is an article about the market for hoodia gordonii, the diet pills used to suppress appetite and now being sold by a variety of companies. To begin this article, I have to tell you that I can't reveal everything I've discovered in this market. It's extremely frustrating, but it's absolutely true because some of the companies that are knowingly selling counterfeit or adulterated products are so powerful that if I were to reveal their names, I would be completely unable to defend myself against...

States sue the federal government over the Bush drug benefit program (commentary)

By Mike Adams, February 19 2006
President Bush marketed his Medicare drug benefit program as a popular handout that would put more prescription drugs in seniors' pockets and more money in State coffers. But as it turns out, the drug benefit promises were completely fabricated, just like "weapons of mass destruction." In reality, the federal drug program has turned into a national nightmare that has left hundreds of thousands of low-income seniors without prescriptions, and States actually owing the federal government hundreds...

Positive health trends accelerated by consumer education and champions of health freedom

By Mike Adams, February 15 2006
I have a lot of optimism in 2006 in terms of health trends. I think things are actually starting to turn around out there, especially with public awareness about the dangers of prescription drugs and the dangers of specific food ingredients such as hydrogenated oils. I'm seeing major shifts in consumer demand reflected in the inventory at retailers. For example, at Price Costco warehouses, you can now buy free-range organic chicken broth, which is something that certainly wasn't there a couple of...

Warning: Toxic chemical triclosan can turn your toothpaste into chloroform

By Mike Adams, February 13 2006
For years, I have warned people of the danger of personal care products. If you look at the ingredients manufacturers put in their products -- soaps, deodorants, toothpastes and so on -- you will be horrified. These ingredients are highly toxic and cause cancer. They promote leukemia, nervous system disorders and liver problems. Now, some new information has come from Virginia Tech. Researchers that have found that the chemical triclosan, which is found in a lot of antimicrobial soaps and toothpaste...

By Mike Adams, February 8 2006
Mike: We're here with Matthew Supkoff of the Continental Vitamin Company. Supkoff: How are you doing, Mike? Mike: I'm great. Now, you have an interesting product line here. These are instantly dissolving vitamins and minerals. What nutrients do you cover in the product line here? Supkoff: Well, in the Superior Source line, we have 50 different products that dissolve right underneath the tongue. We don't use the word "sublingual" in any of our advertising; some of the other companies do....

Bird flu timeline: A history of influenza from 412 BC – AD 2006

By Mike Adams, February 6 2006
412 BC – Major epidemic of a disease (which, although not called influenza, probably was influenza) recorded by Hippocrates. 1357 AD – The term, “influenza,” from the Italian word meaning "influence," was coined. Popular belief at that time blamed the development of flu on the influence of the stars. 1485 – "Sweating sickness," a flu-like malady, sickens hundreds of thousands of people in Britain. The Lord Mayor of London, his successor and six aldermen die. The Royal Navy cannot leave port...

The media assault on Mexico's alternative cancer clinics

By Mike Adams, February 4 2006
The mainstream press seems downright giddy over reports that Coretta Scott King (widow of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.) recently died of cancer while exploring an alternative cancer treatment clinic in Mexico. What the press didn't report is that conventional medicine had already given up on her and left her to die (after poisoning her with the usual cancer treatments first, of course). It's no surprise she would want to check out alternatives. Sadly, she was too late. The truth is that many...

Hospitals may be hazardous to your health

By Mike Adams, February 2 2006
Here are some words of caution for those of you who have someone in the hospital or a nursing home or retirement center. You have probably already figured this out yourself, but, if not, pay attention. Don't leave your loved ones in the hospital or nursing home without you being there, because the nursing staff and physician assistants are screwing up. They are giving your loved ones the wrong medication, forgetting to turn them in bed, not paying attention to them and not giving them enough water...

Interview with David Bronner, president of all-natural, authentically organic Dr. Bronner's Soaps

By Mike Adams, February 1 2006
Mike: I'm here with David Bronner, the president of Dr. Bronner's Soaps. You were just talking to me about the issues of honesty in organics, in terms of personal care products. Bronner: Or lack thereof. Mike: Or lack thereof. Can you tell the readers what this is all about? Bronner: Basically in the food world, a company that is making organic products, or putting organic into the brand name -- for instance, Maggie's Organics or Albert's Organics, which is the largest organic produce distributor...

Interview with Dr. Elson Haas, bestselling author, pioneering doctor and nutritional detox expert

By Mike Adams, January 29 2006
Mike: A lot of people are familiar with detox, but some are not, and from a nutritional standpoint, they certainly may not be familiar with what it involves. What type of detox do you focus on? Dr. Haas: Well, detoxification involves getting rid of things from the body as well as stopping toxins and irritants in the body, those things that our body does not handle well or that cause damage, inflammation, irritation or over-stimulation in the case of caffeine or over-sedation in the case of alcohol...

Interview: Jordan Rubin of the Garden of Life nutritional products and author of The Maker's Diet

By Mike Adams, January 25 2006
Mike: I'm here today with Jordan Rubin, the chairman of Garden Of Life. Jordan, your books and products have been taking the nutritional world by storm. To what do you owe this success, and what is coming up in terms of products or information that people might be interested in learning about? Rubin: You know, Mike, I think there are really a few reasons behind our success. Number one is that this company was founded based on a personal mission -- really a responsibility that I feel I have to...

How to build a pharmaceutical factory in your back yard and grow your medicine for free

By Mike Adams, January 24 2006
I have just completed construction on a massive pharmaceutical factory in my own back yard. I'm not making this up. This is absolutely true. Right now, this factory is turning out pharmaceuticals that prevent prostate cancer, nervous system degeneration, birth defects and Alzheimer's disease. There is one that helps lower bad cholesterol and one that protects the eye from macular degeneration. I have a pharmaceutical that is antibacterial, antifungal and excellent for skin. I have another that's...

Health Ranger hails CPSI effort to stop Kellogg Co. from marketing junk food to children

By Mike Adams, January 19 2006
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) recently announced its intention to pressure Kellogg Co. to halt its practice of advertising junk foods to children. Spearheaded by CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson, the effort promises a lawsuit to protect children from junk food marketing practices often described as "predatory." Consumer advocate Mike Adams, known online as the "Health Ranger," today announced his full support for the CSPI effort. He also stated his intention to...

Alleviate backpack-induced back pain with the convenient, spine-friendly BackTPack

By Mike Adams, January 17 2006
I just found a remarkable packing and travel product. This is an instant hit, and it's going on my A-List of recommended products. It's called the backTpack. It's not a backpack, but it serves the function of a backpack, only in a smarter way. The backTpack can carry loads of weight, but it distributes it on your body in a way that makes instant sense. Basically, you have the same straps and shoulder support of a backpack, but instead of the weight being held behind you, it's held to your sides ...

Review: Miracle Foot Acupuncture earns negative rating, delivers shocking therapy to your feet

By Mike Adams, January 8 2006
Here's a review of a product people are seeing more frequently today. It's called Miracle Foot Acupuncture, and it sells for about $100 in various gadget retailers. It looks like a small platform on which you place your bare feet. It has a couple of digital readouts on it, and it claims to be based on 12 years of research and development in Japan and Taiwan with leading acupuncture and acupressure doctors. It claims to enhance your entire body health as well as improve blood circulation. What...

Interview with Robert Leventry of Inca Organics on healthy, versatile quinoa

By Mike Adams, January 1 2006
Mike: We're here today with Robert Leventry of Inca Organics, and that's www.IncaOrganics.com. You are an importer of whole grain quinoa? Leventry: Right, along with black amaranth, but, by far, the majority of our sales are the whole grain quinoa. Mike: I've been a big proponent of quinoa for a long time. It's something that I eat regularly. In your literature, you claim that your quinoa is the only truly whole grain quinoa. Can you explain that a bit more? Leventry: Sure. Quinoa that comes...

Pet health supplements, disease prevention and miracle pet cures: an exclusive interview with Dr. Lisa Newman, formulator of the Azmira Holistic Pet Care products (part 4 of 4)

By Mike Adams, December 18 2005
Mike: Let's talk about supplements for a minute. You have a line of supplements. What is unique and interesting about these supplements? Newman: First of all, we have the most concentrated supplement line on the market. Concentration is very important. A dog or a cat doesn't want a tablespoon of powder thrown into their food and mixed in. It is going to turn them off from their food. So, for instance, our herbal extracts are our standardized extracts. They are very concentrated and highly reliable...

Pet nutrition revealed: the Health Ranger interviews Dr. Lisa Newman on pet nutrition and pet food ingredients (part 3 of 4)

By Mike Adams, December 22 2005
Mike: Whenever I talk to pet owners, whose pets have joint problems, pain or disease, I hear a distorted line of reasoning -- the same in human medicine -- which is that it's just genetic. I hear that all the time. Newman: Oh, I know. Mike: What's your take on that? Newman: My take on it is that we're making a lot of excuses instead of addressing what's really happening to our pets. This is the same as telling people that their animals are seniors at the age of seven. When I started working...

Healthy food for pets: Dr. Lisa Newman reveals the pet health-enhancing ingredients in Azmira Holistic Animal Care products (part 2 of 4)

By Mike Adams, December 21 2005
Mike: Let's talk about what's in your pet food, the Azmira Holistic Animal Care products. I found this product in the local health food store, and I was buying it before I even met you or invited you to do this interview. Newman: Or before you knew I was right in your back yard. Mike: Exactly. What a pleasant surprise. I was attracted to this product because of what is found in the ingredients. I would like to go through the first three or four, just to give people a sense of what is in this...

Must-read for pet owners: Exclusive, shocking interview with Dr. Lisa Newman on the horrors of pet food ingredients (part 1 of 4)

By Mike Adams, December 20 2005
Mike: Hello, this is Mike Adams. I'm here with Dr. Lisa Newman. Thanks for joining me today. Newman: Well, thanks for having me today, Mike. Mike: You are the founder of the Azmira Holistic Animal Care product line. You also run a pet care clinic, correct? Newman: Well, it's not a veterinary clinic. What I have is two retail stores, and my retail staff goes through a correspondence course that I put together so they're fully trained in providing the holistic animal care lifestyle. Mike...
