Consider this: there has been an ongoing campaign against the health industry in this country for well over fifty years. Every day you see advocates of the alternative position challenged as being unscientific and the purveyors of fraud. But what you have here is an industry making about one-fourth the amount of money as all the herbs and organic produce, all of the natural food stores and the vitamins and minerals that are sold, everything that we call the health movement. Electroconvulsive therapy makes that amount of money, and kills one in ten thousand people. |
| In fact, the mainstream health industry has been rushing in the opposite direction. Less time. Less individuality. More and more drugs. Every year, more conditions are "diagnosed" as requiring medication. I recently saw a scientific paper claiming that the disease of "imagined ugliness" should be treated with antidepressants. The direction is toward more pills, more "quick fixes," and more profit for the pharmaceutical industry.
For many years, the experts on my radio show and I have been protesting the huge and still increasing numbers people taking drugs to treat mental disorders. |

Aside from blatant conflicts of interest, the FDA has been caught red handed burying negative drug study trials, colluding with drug companies to approve known dangerous drugs, whitewashing scientific data to appease Big Pharma, censoring its own drug safety scientists, conducting armed raids on vitamin shops in order to intimidate natural health industry proponents, and far worse. See my new book, Natural Health Solutions, to read the full story on the FDA.
In my perfect world, the top FDA criminals get arrested, charged and convicted of their crimes against humanity. |

The content in this book does not include much medical and health industry terminology: both can be confusing. Nor does it go into deep or detailed background explanations. Some concepts are mentioned in more than one place and may appear to be repetitious to the reader. There are two reasons for this. First, repeating basic principles helps with learning and understanding. Second, this book is written to be both a practical reference that can be read and understood on a topical basis and a complete work. |

Those comments from organizations and individuals in the natural health industry who are saying there's "nothing new" in these guidelines are ignoring the primary tactic being used by the FDA. The FDA is laying the groundwork to censor or regulate every substance used in natural medicine, and the CAM Guidelines document is a "playbook" that reveals how this might unfold.
This is how it's done by arrogant government departments: Float an idea piece, write regulations, then start applying those regulations until they become accepted as "the way things are done. |

Now I'm not only convinced this is the company that's going to pave the way to sustainable business practices in the coming years, I'm also convinced it represents the very best business opportunity available in the natural health industry today for anyone interested in an independent, at-home business where you control your own financial destiny. That's no casual claim, either. |

In the natural health industry, aspartame is well known to be an "excitotoxin" -- a substance that harms and kills nerve cells. On top of that, there are literally hundreds of thousands of accounts of people suffering blindness, seizures, blurred vision, migraine headaches and other neurological problems associated with aspartame consumption. No other food or beverage ingredient has generated more consumer complaints to the FDA than aspartame.
People who stop drinking aspartame often experience astonishing improvements in vision, mental clarity and neurological function. |

As much as NewsTarget has been hugely successful in the natural health industry, it's still barely a blip on the radar for mainstream America. Not even one in a hundred people are aware of this website or the importance of this information, and as long as Big Pharma owns Big Media, it's probably going to stay that way.
Accordingly, consider yourself fortunate to be among the very few people who are aware of what's really going on in our federal government. As Americans, we currently live under a system of medical tyranny. |

The relationship between the medical profession and the health industry (device manufacturers and drug companies) is problematic to say the least. Arthur Kleinman, the famous medical anthropologist from Harvard, has called the corrupted partnership the greatest ethical problem in medicine today. Personally, I find the lapses in ethical behavior in the medical profession distressing. After all, we expect businesses to try to sell their products, and improve their bottom line. |

That means we're able to speak freely and give you the real story about what we see out there in the natural health industry. So, if you're looking for the real story; the real information -- and you probably notice that you get a lot of good, juicy information here on this network -- then this is the place to go.
I'm not trying to say that you're going to agree with everything that I say. On the contrary, nobody agrees 100 percent on everything. I'm also not saying we know all the great products that are out there. We don't. No one person can. It would be impossible. |

But elsewhere in the world, outright corruption in the health industry simply does not reach such extremes. Citizens of countries throughout Europe, Asia, South America and even New Zealand have far greater access to herbal medicine that really works. Plus, direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs is illegal everywhere in the world except the United States, meaning Americans are the only people crazy enough to tolerate the advertising of prescription drugs to a mass audience that isn't even qualified to prescribe those drugs. |

Mike: We see this in the natural health industry quite a bit: The small companies are gobbled up by the large corporate conglomerates, and then all of a sudden the ingredients get cheaper. All of a sudden there are chemical additives in the foods.
In addition, to clarify for the readers, it was DSHEA in 1994 that essentially forced the FDA to keep their hands off certain dietary supplements, which were under intense attack at that time. I think it was Sen. Oren Hatch who co-sponsored that bill. |

This ingredient is so common in the natural health industry that it's difficult to actually find what I call "clean natural foods" in the frozen food section of any health food store in this country. One food after another contains yeast extract that functions almost like monosodium glutamate. That is its only purpose in these foods. I personally, have a very sensitive glutamate detector in my body. If I eat any food containing high levels of glutamate, I immediately get a piercing headache that lasts for hours, so I can always tell when a manufacturer is hiding this ingredient in its foods. |

Born psychotic
Psychiatry believes there is no child too young to diagnose as having psychiatric disorders. It won't be long before psychiatrists will be hanging out in delivery rooms, declaring children to be mentally diseased at birth (because they keep crying, obviously) and immediately injected with powerful mind-altering drugs. |

I find too often that in the natural health industry, people feel guilty spending even one dollar on themselves. That is ridiculous. There is a time and a place to say, "I deserve to have some nice natural-fiber clothes, or to upgrade my automobile to something that's more comfortable and safer. We deserve a nice meal at a fine restaurant, or we deserve to buy organic foods, and move to a better part of town, or to a better part of the country." You deserve to be abundant. But it’s important to do these other things at the same time that you're rewarding yourself. |

If you want to really understand the potential of products in the natural health industry, in terms of both functional foods and nutritional foods, you have to talk face to face with these people. And that's one of the things I did at this show, conducting well over 30 interviews with various individuals -- pioneering doctors, researchers, clinicians, people who formulate nutritional supplement products, people who are inventing new technologies for nutrient delivery systems -- all sorts of innovative people who represent the real future of health in the western world. |

Mike: That's an interesting point you bring up there, some of the most pioneering people in medicine and health care, in the health industry, have been traditionally trained MDs, and yet some of the people that alternative health writers like myself tend to criticize the most are also MDs. What is it that brings an MD to your school instead of just staying in the old school line of thinking?
Dr. Pizzorno: I think there are several things, and I think it's important to recognize that conventional medicine has important strengths. |

This position of financial independence and honest journalism is almost unheard of in the health industry, by the way. Doctors are frequently on the take from drug companies, through free vacations, meals, or gifts. Non-profit disease organizations take millions of dollars from drug companies. The American Diabetes Association even takes money from candy manufacturers! |

It has become part of every single food and health industry in the country, from oranges to tomatoes, from cereals to vitamin supplements.
The plant food industry got carried away recently when another ca-rotenoid was "discovered." You've probably heard of it. It is called lyco-pene, and it provides the red color in tomatoes. In 1995, it was reported that people who ate more tomatoes, including whole tomatoes and tomato-containing foods like pasta sauces, had a lower risk for prostate cancer,24 supporting an earlier report. |

GOING, GOING, GONE: THE FATE OF OMEGA-3s
Omega-3 fatty acids are the latest darling of the health industry. Soy oil contains relatively large amounts of omega-3s compared to other commercial vegetable oils, but if the steam and pressure of the refining process doesn't kill them, the deodorizing intended to cover the telltale rancid smells and tastes will. More than half of the omega-3s and some of the omega-6s are destroyed during processing, leaving the oil with a lowered essential fatty acid (EFA) value. |

There is, however, one area in the health industry that the FDA doesn't regulate, that packages cattle brains and other parts, and that doesn't have to list ingredients or sources: dietary supplements.

Dietary supplements and genetically engineered vegetable oils are two ways in which the food and health industry is trying to increase our exposure to lauric acid. By far the best and richest natural sources of lauric acid are coconuts and coconut oil. For instance, 1 tablespoon of dried shredded coconut contains about 2 grams of lauric acid. A tablespoon of pure coconut oil contains 7 grams. |
