How to get your natural health or green living product reviewed or recommended by NewsTarget Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Everybody wins: Our readers get a great deal on an exceptional product, you gain a new customer, and we accomplish our mission of supporting great companies in the areas of natural health and green living.

REPPED: Here at NewsTarget, we've openly and independently recommended hundreds of natural health and green living products, all without asking for (or accepting) any money from the companies we publicize. Through our recommendations, we've helped numerous companies launch new products and connect with customers, and we've helped literally millions of consumers find new products that enhance health, protect the environment, improve quality of life and offer other similar benefits.

I'm often asked by makers of natural health and green living products, "How can we get our products reviewed or recommended by NewsTarget?" Today I'm announcing guidelines for submitting products for review and possible recommendation here on NewsTarget.com. Product manufacturers and P.R. consultants are welcome to follow these guidelines in submitting products to us. 1. Start with a quality product. No junk. I only recommend products of superior quality.

If you offer a non-nutritional product, such as a green living product, feel free to send us a full bottle (or whatever package it happens to be in) so that we can put it to the test. If you want your product returned after our review, see the instructions below. Mail your product packaging and literature to: NewsTarget Reviews 1820 E. River Rd. #106 Tucson AZ 85718 USA (Please do not drop by in person without an appointment.) Please include: The product(s) you would like us to review. Your business card with phone number and web address. Literature on the product and your company.

The greenwashing of toxic consumer products Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

But today, paper plates are positioned as green living products. Fascinating how things shift so quickly, isn't it? (Click here to see my CounterThink Cartoon on this topic...) Nowhere is greenwashing more overhyped than in the ethanol biofuels industry, where gullible consumers are being told that we can simply farm our way out of an oil crisis by -- get this -- converting most of our food into fuel! Ethanol from corn is so energy inefficient that it takes almost exactly one barrel of oil from somewhere else to farm, harvest, process and produce one barrel of oil equivalent energy from corn.

Product review: Read this before buying the AeroGrow AeroGarden countertop herb garden Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It shows that they are not simply trying to pull a fast one on consumers and are, in fact, working to resolve issues in a way that is acceptable to the green living community. Depending on the outcome of this upcoming conversation, I may choose to significantly alter, edit or enhance the original article that appears below. I will, of course, keep NewsTarget readers informed of these actions. Please also note that my journalistic boundaries remain fully intact, as usual. I have not solicited any sort of payment or funds from the AeroGrow company, nor have they offered any.

NewsTarget readers making waves across the natural health, natural living markets (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I get to write for the best people on the planet -- people who CARE about the planet, who work to improve their own health and who want to be part of a revolution in personal health and green living that can make this planet a better place to live for future generations. And since I approach this with strong boundaries and no financial strings attached -- I don't get paid by anybody, and we take no money from advertisers -- I get to pursue this work with 100% honesty, integrity and passion for helping others. In other words, I don't have to take any crap from anyone. Nobody can fire me.

We don't take credit for it: we're merely one branch in a huge wave of positive transformation that started decades ago with the nutrition, organics and green living movements. But we're sure happy to be along for the ride and making a difference today! Suddenly, being "green" is popular. Huge corporations like Wal-Mart, GM and Costco are going green. People are figuring out that pharmaceuticals are dangerous and that eating fresh produce is actually good for you.

We're all part of a natural living / green living / sustainable future movement that's reshaping the world right now, through highly effective educational campaigns and grassroots organization. How you can help us continue to grow As we continue to share this journey together, I really want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as your independent-minded journalist. I take this role very seriously and I work at least twelve hours each day (weekends included) to keep bringing you information and solutions that can help you find a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life.

We're working hard to keep bringing you honest, independent and trusted information about solutions for personal health, green living and positive change. As long as we continue to receive your support, we will be here, bringing you the best solutions we can find, always from a trusted and openly honest point of view. Thank you for allowing me to humbly serve you.

The week in review: Questions and answers on health freedom, the FDA and more Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

My long-term intention is to comment less and less on Big Pharma and the FDA while focusing more on real solutions for disease prevention, natural weight loss, green living, physical fitness, enhanced mental and physical performance and other areas. I've basically stopped covering the daily Big Pharma news (because it's like a broken record, the same thing day after day) and I only cover the FDA when something important comes along like the recent CAM Guidelines.

The Secret History of the War on Cancer Devra Davis See book keywords and concepts

Television programming of dizzying arrays, luxury and regular magazines and new web sites are proliferating to promote green living options that are not just for the true believers. Yes, such activities appear in the midst of commercials for Hummers and SUVs, but those are dropping faster than lead balloons. The environment is no longer a niche issue of radical chic, but a matter of broadly understood importance. Those of us who indict past failures have a duty to develop new solutions. My parents, Brigadier General (retired) Harry B.

NewsTarget launches citizen journalism program, invites writers to contribute articles for publication Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

However, our overall focus is to promote natural health, green living and disease prevention through nutrition. We are also looking for articles that cover the dangers of conventional medicine, pharmaceuticals, the FDA, processed foods and so on. Are there any other ads in addition to my own Adsense ad that are posted with the article? Yes, NewsTarget posts its own ad on the right side of the article. This allows us to advertise our books, e-mail newsletter, teleseminars or other items of interest to readers. We may also post an ad below the bottom of your article.

Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness Pam Montgomery See book keywords and concepts

When we are in the natural world surrounded by green living plants, trees, and grasses, we feel nurtured, supported, and vibrantly alive. The frequency of the green biophoton is received by our cells, which are healed by the presence of green. Plants also inform us of their associations with other systems that incorporate color. The chakras are the energy centers in our bodies, and each is associated with a color as well as with physical correspondences and other attributes.

The week in review: Questions and answers on health freedom, the FDA and more Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

My aim is to introduce 2-3 new health or green living products each week, along with detailed product reviews as often as we can get them done. We're also working on new videos, cartoons and reference guides that you'll see released in 2007. We're staying busy! But you'll probably see a lot less news and commentary on Big Pharma and the FDA throughout 2007. It's just not worth spending the time and energy talking about what's broken when I could be introducing you to more things that really work! Stay tuned to NewsTarget for more news, views and information in the days ahead.

Energizer Batteries Exposed: NewsTarget Investigation Reveals Truth About "D" Rechargeable Batteries Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I believe that rechargeable batteries are an important "green living" technology that can help consumers be less wasteful in their use of valuable earth resources. NiMH batteries can be reused 1,000 times before being thrown away, greatly reducing landfill and the introduction of toxic metals into the environment. Energizer's intentional manufacture and marketing of a "crippled" D battery is hampering the ability of consumers to purchase reliable high-capacity rechargeable "D" batteries.

Teach yourself the basic principles of sustainable living, green living and "hippie wisdom." These are the things that will get you through the tough times ahead. In terms of financial news, be sure to read the Daily Reckoning (www.DailyReckoning.com) if you want to hear the truth about world financial news. Also check out the book Empire of Debt, which earns my top recommendation for the best book available on the coming financial collapse of America. I haven't even mentioned peak oil yet, by the way. Ever wonder what happens when the oil runs out?

Why health freedom will ultimately overcome Big Pharma mischief and FDA corruption (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

There are serious efforts now to promote green lawn care, green automobiles and green living. The trends are strongly in favor of natural, sustainable living! Why Big Pharma is so desperate In the context of these powerful trends, Big Pharma is acting out of desperation to protect a medical monopoly that will soon collapse in the United States. Think about this: The very reason Big Pharma has to bribe senators, buy off FDA regulators and pay the media to run its propaganda pieces is because Big Pharma has nothing left of value to offer the world.

As we add more products in the coming weeks, you'll see an assortment of unique solutions for green living, energy conservation, personal safety and much more.

Today, I'm expanding the scope of these efforts with the launch of two new for-profit entities that aim to deliver practical yet innovative products that help people live healthier, more sustainable lives in harmony with our planet. The two companies are: EcoLEDs (www.EcoLEDS.

NiMH battery charger showdown: Maha Energy MH-C9000 WizardOne vs. La Crosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I had been looking for a high-end NiMH battery recharger for over a year that I liked well enough to carry. The MH-C9000 is the best I found, and that's why I decided to carry it along with a 30-day complete satisfaction guarantee. All sales help support the NewsTarget network.) The bottom line In my experience, there's no comparison between the two chargers. The MH-C9000 wins hands down. Although both chargers offer similar specifications, only the MH-C9000 was really easy to use.

NewsTarget emerges as top truly independent natural health news site Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I realize that we're a relatively small operation, and there are many deserving products we should be covering but just haven't had the resources to cover yet, but we're working to grow our operations so that we can bring you more news, more health solutions and more information on relevant topics like global warming, renewable energy and green living. We will do it all, of course, with the same standard we apply to covering nutritional products: no payola. It's a simple ethical standard, really. And I consider it fundamental to the issue of credibility.

In this process, mainly occurring at night, plants use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen— another reason to keep green living things in your personal environment. Plants also produce pigments that include green chlorophyll; polyphenols including flavonoids; carotenoids; lignins; fiber; and thousands of other substances including hormones, vitamins, protective substances, as well as enzymes. Dietary enzymes are found only in fermented foods, and raw fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Though all foods contain natural enzymes, some are richer in enzymes than others.
