NewsTarget Emerging as Key Gateway Between Health Product Companies and Natural Health Consumers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Over the last four years, we've selectively publicized over a hundred natural health products, and we've done so with absolutely no financial involvement in those products. Our most recent publicity of the FruitFast company (see http://www.newstarget.com/022233.html ) and its generous offer to ship a 30-day supply of CherryFlex supplements to every NewsTarget reader resulted in many thousands of requests for the product.

The world according to the FDA and Big Pharma Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

REPPED: As clear-thinking people, natural health consumers sometimes look at the actions of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and wonder what planet its decision makers seem to be from. It's like the FDA is living in a completely different world than the rest of us -- a world where nutrients are dangerous, but synthetic chemicals are perfectly safe for human consumption. In fact, the idea that FDA bureaucrats and modern medicine promoters are living in a different reality is not far from the truth. I my view, FDA decision makers have no connection with reality.

U.S. Senators financially enslave Americans as Indentured Servants to Big Pharma Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Fork over several thousand dollars each month for yet more chemicals sold at monopoly prices to a nation of health consumers who have been financially enslaved as Indentured Servants. I once talked to a cancer patient who was about to fork over $14,000 per injection for an experimental cancer drug! That person's life savings would have been wiped out in just one month while enriching the richest corporations in the world: drug companies. Modern medicine is the new indentured servant plantation. Same scam, different crop.

Consumer expectations: Getting past the "greens" factor Mike: In terms of the consumer response to that kind of product, in my experience, some health consumers will only drink those things that look like they have a fruit color, a fruit taste and are sweet enough. Then there is another group, which is, of course, a smaller group that we consider hardcore nutrition people. They do not care if it is green or if it comes from micro-algae. They want the best nutrition and they are willing to drink it now. I know we are all in that group but not everybody is.

Whitaker are true champions of health freedom, as he has invested enormous amounts of time, money, and effort in defending the freedoms that many health consumers in the United States today take for granted. No discussion about health freedom is complete without mentioning the Life Extension Foundation and the efforts of its director, William Faloon.

And then, to add insult to injury, the Bush Administration "negotiates" a Medicare Benefit Program that claims to be saving health consumers millions of dollars by offering them 15 percent discounts on brand-name drugs. Clever. Only in America can people be convinced to believe they're getting a bargain while they're paying 100,000 percent over cost for chemicals that will actually harm them. And conventional medicine has the audacity to call herbalists snake oil salesmen! This focus on finding cures to justify today's drug cost is, of course, an outright lie.

The lawlessness of the FDA, Big Pharma immunity, and crimes against humanity (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

REPPED: June 30, 2006 is a day that will be long remembered as a dark milestone in the history of FDA and its campaign against health consumers. On June 30, an FDA "Final Rule" goes into effect, establishing a regulatory power grab of such scale and scope that it attempts to bypass all laws, the will of Congress and fundamental protections for consumers.

The health care reform legislation that Congress should pass, but won't Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

But that's only fitting, since most of the doctors in this country are similarly illiterate when it comes to nutrition. Keep the people stupid, drug 'em up, take their cash. It's sort of a simple, but highly effective, business model, and the Big Pharma / FDA / conventional medicine racket has perfected it. The only reason I can get away with telling you all this, by the way, is because I sell no nutritional produts. If I did, the FDA would have long since raided my home at gunpoint and forced me into self censorship.

Breakthrough wellness supplements, part two: Wellness Resources Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It was founded by Byron Richards, the author of Fight For Your Health, which is one of my top recommended books (a must read for health consumers). Byron has 20 years of clinical experience as a nutritionist, and he's a technical genius when it comes to understanding how supplements interact with biochemistry to protect the body and support tissue repair, disease reversal and peak performance. I recently completed several hours of interviews with Byron (which will be published in a few weeks) and was simply astounded at the depth of his technical knowledge on nutrition.

Critical Condition: How Health Care in America Became Big Business Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele See book keywords and concepts

The secret is to liberate health consumers from the policy-induced stupor that has reduced them to passive, indirect payors when by nature they are accomplished, resourceful shoppers," he wrote in 1979. "The activation of 150 million adult health care shoppers would dramatically transform the medical marketplace. . . ." He was right, of course, but not in the way he imagined. The person generally credited with spawning the idea that competition would be the salvation of American health care is Alain C. Enthoven, a professor of public policy at Stanford University.

Dangerous Grains: Why Gluten Cereal Grains May Be Hazardous To Your Health James Braly M.D. and Ron Hoggan M.A. See book keywords and concepts

England-based York Nutritional Laboratories is currently researching and developing this innovative technology and hopes to make it commercially available to health consumers in Britain, Canada, and the United States sometime in 2002. Screening for Additional Food Allergies Frequently, a celiac patient, although improved on a gluten-free diet, will still experience chronic symptoms and illness. Recent clinical research suggests that additional delayed-onset food allergies coexist with celiac disease. When these allergens are eliminated from the diet, the residual symptoms disappear.

The Omega Solution: Unleash the Amazing, Scientifically Based Healing Power of Omega-3 & -6 Fatty Acids Jonathan Goodman ND See book keywords and concepts

The federal government, in response to demand from health consumers and physicians for reliable information about natural alternatives to conventional cancer treatments, has begun to fund large-scale studies of alternative cancer treatments. The National Institutes of Health, through the In order to increase the effectiveness of the tamoxifen and also reduce its potential side effects, I told Alice that she should include more fatty fish in her diet, which is rich in EFAs.

Dangerous Grains: Why Gluten Cereal Grains May Be Hazardous To Your Health James Braly M.D. and Ron Hoggan M.A. See book keywords and concepts

As always, the health consumers, voting with their dollars, will persuade the farmers, General Mills and Post breakfast cereal companies, and the Department of Agriculture to accelerate this encouraging trend. We also anticipate that advancing gluten research will encourage farmers and manufacturers to produce and develop more gluten-free alternatives and hope that many of these changes will result in the cultivation and marketing of foodstuffs that are more consistent with our genetic heritage. STAYING IN TOUCH Much is happening in gluten research and clinical nutrition.

Clearly, it is to the economic, social, and moral advantage of medical systems and health consumers everywhere to become aware of and much more vigilant in their search for celiac disease. ADEQUATE FOLLOW-UP AND GUIDANCE BADLY NEEDED Those diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity are usually sent home with little helpful information. Newly diagnosed celiac patients are unlikely to be given information about the very high risk of celiac disease among their immediate family members, even though celiac disease is largely genetic and is transmitted from one generation to the next.

With the help of simple, affordable blood tests that are available to all health consumers, you can now determine your genetic makeup and the presence or absence of antibodies indicating gluten sensitization and celiac disease. In addition, armed with the information in this book, you can examine your own family and medical history for evidence of a gluten problem. None of these sources can conclusively diagnose celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

A growing number of American health consumers use herbal remedies for these conditions, which have been traditionally the domain of nonprescription or over-the-counter drugs. Other conditions that respond to herbal medicine include: digestive disorders such as peptic ulcers, colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome; rheumatic and arthritic conditions; chronic skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis; problems of the menstrual cycle and especially premenstrual syndrome (PMS); anxiety and stress; bronchitis and other respiratory conditions; hypertension; and some allergies.

However, Torrey's version of the disease was substantially different from that presented by another guest, Joe Rogers of the National Mental Health Consumers' Association, a self-help group Rogers founded. This group, in keeping with its emphasis on self-help, argues that emotionally disturbed people can indeed improve. Rogers himself had lived on the street for years after he developed paranoid delusions, but then he outgrew his symptoms; his chief encouragements for doing so, Rogers indicated, were his marriage and other social supports.

Vaccination The Issue of Our Times Peggy O'Mara See book keywords and concepts

Parents have to be smart health consumers. The best path to follow is to personally investigate the pros and cons of vaccination in the context of your child's own medical history. Know all the options and ramifications before you decide whether you want your child to have any, some, or all of the recommended vaccinations. Find out what each shot contains and what the risks are of both the disease and the inoculation.

Diseasing of America: Addiction Treatment Out of Control Stanton Peele See book keywords and concepts

I discussed the case of Joe Rogers (in chapter 1), the founder of the National Mental Health Consumers' Association, who regained his sanity in conjunction with getting married and becoming engaged in community organizations. Gigantic shelters do nothing for the homeless, insane or otherwise. In fact, we have passed a critical point in many of our cities where we can only respond to the overwhelming need to get people off the street, rather than actually try to help people regain a position in life.
