 REPPED: The mainstream media loves to bash Wikipedia, that enormous online encyclopedia created through the collaborative efforts of volunteer writers and researchers. It covers tens of thousands of topics, and is consistently an excellent source of information on everything ranging from world history to new terminology in the technology industry. I use Wikipedia frequently.
It's no surprise that the mainstream media loves to bash Wikipedia. |
| You hear a lot of Wikipedia bashing going on in the mainstream press when they find one article that has an incorrect statement, or an article that has been edited by the person mentioned in the article to make them sound better -- because anyone can edit a Wikipedia entry, even the person about whom the article was written. The media portrays the idea that Wikipedia is inaccurate when, in fact, I find Wikipedia to be far more accurate than the mainstream media. |
| Look at the hype over "Restless Leg Syndrome" for an example of the disease mongering carried out by the mainstream media.
I'm not saying that the New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post or other newspapers never engage in real journalism -- clearly they do from time to time. Those papers have occasionally produced some really outstanding stories and true investigative reports, and for that, they are to be applauded. But shouldn't that be what newspapers are entirely focused on doing? Shouldn't these national newspapers be held to the highest standards of journalism? |
| And that makes it more accurate than mainstream information sources.
The democratization of information
Wikipedia is about the decentralization of information; it's about the democratization of fact gathering and fact reporting. That's a wonderful phenomenon in the world of information and media. It's something that the traditional media doesn't like to see at all. It would rather have a centrally controlled decision maker for information, like you get with the Associated Press. |
| The media portrays the idea that Wikipedia is inaccurate when, in fact, I find Wikipedia to be far more accurate than the mainstream media.
Your average newspaper is mostly just a collection of reprinted press releases, propaganda pieces from advertisers and recycled newswire articles that the employees of that paper didn't write in the first place. They didn't bother to do any fact checking or even add anything to it. Most newspapers aren't even in the business of gathering news anymore. |

 What's next: The future of processed meats
My research tells me that chemical additives in processed meats are emerging as the next big food safety issue to hit mainstream awareness. Just a few years ago, most consumers had never heard of trans fats or the dangers of hydrogenated oils, for example. But once that issue went mainstream, fast food restaurants all over the country announced changes to avoid hydrogenated oils.
I believe that sodium nitrite in processed meats is the next big food safety issue that's about to break into mainstream awareness. |

 The reaction from the mainstream press is all too typical: It's someone else's problem, not ours. The U.S. FDA is trustworthy. Our people would never stoop to accepting bribes.
It's all hogwash, of course, and the mainstream media is part of the problem because it refuses to print the truth about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In an honest society with a truly free press, the Washington Post should be calling for a massive FDA investigation and prosecution effort. |

 It's the not-too-bright, do-as-they're-told mainstream idiots who are supporting Clinton, Guliani, Huckabee and other mainstream candidates. Obama's supporters are somewhere in between: At least Obama is a bit of an outsider, and he's a far better choice than Clinton for numerous reasons. If given a strict choice between Clinton and Obama, I'd choose Obama without hesitation.
Voting for Clinton or Huckabee requires no thought whatsoever. |

 What they put together in each monthly issue is, quite simply, a masterpiece of nutritional reporting that frankly deserves some kind of award for courageous journalism (except they'll never get a reward because they don't conform to the limited, mainstream thinking about health and medicine -- they're truly on the leading edge, and the leading edge is never mainstream).
The bottom line is that if you like my writing, you'll love this newsletter. And just like me, they don't take money from the product companies they write about. |

 Let's face it: you can't trust the mainstream press to provide an honest review of Trudeau's Natural Cures book. For one thing, the entire mainstream press is heavily influenced by billions in drug advertising dollars. Some people describe the mainstream news outlets as "drug whores," which is hilariously accurate. You can't seriously expect the major media outlets to offer fair and balanced coverage to a book that's threatening the profit centers of their primary advertisers, can you? Of course not. Trudeau will never get a fair shake in the eyes of the drug-supported press. |

I believe that sodium nitrite in processed meats is the next big food safety issue that's about to break into mainstream awareness. More and more consumers are suddenly aware that hot dogs promote cancer, or that bacon consumption is incredibly bad for your health. As awareness of this issue builds, there's going to be increasing political pressure to pass laws that protect the public by strictly limited or banning the use of sodium nitrite in processed meats. |

 The defense then focused on my 1995 Safe Shopper's Bible (co-authored with David Steinman) which provides information on undisclosed carcinogenic ingredients and contaminants in mainstream consumer products—food, cosmetics and toiletries, and household products; the book also lists safe alternatives manufactured by the growing non-mainstream or alternative safe product industry. I was taken through a long list of mainstream products and asked whether I thought selected examples were carcinogenic. |

 The future looks dim for mainstream pet health
When you look at the outrageous toxicity of mainstream pet food, and you combine that with the chemical burden of pharmaceutical medicine, the future of health for pets in America looks rather dim. The pet food being sold at stores -- even the so-called "scientific" brands -- are mostly crap. Only specialty pet food companies offer genuine food. (My favorites are www.Azmira.com and www.TheHonestKitchen.com ). |

 For a festival focused on raw living foods nutrition -- which was barely a blip on the radar of mainstream America just two years ago -- this is phenomenal growth. Raw foods is going mainstream!
So aside from the obvious things like stuffing your face with raw cacao and goji berries, what else is there to see and do at this festival? First off, the people here are incredible. From open-hearted meditation masters to everyday consumers looking for answers for improving their lives, you'll find the people here to be amazingly open-minded, generous and enthusiastic. |

 If you read the mainstream media, everybody's happy, happy, happy about the show and the industry as a whole, but if you go there yourself and ask questions as an independent, skeptical journalist, you get the rest of the story. And that's what I'll share with you here: A behind-the-scenes look at Expo West. Here's what you'll never read in the mainstream media.
To get started, however, I do have to compliment the New Hope staff and show organizers. Even with some of the grumbling from vendors I'm about to reveal here, the show was, in my opinion, a huge success. |

 Whole blood analysis, which examines both the serum and the blood cells, is not commonly done, since most mainstream physicians are looking at blood primarily to diagnose a disease and serum testing is generally adequate for that purpose. As most mainstream physicians are oriented toward using drugs to treat symptoms, they have no interest in nutritional status and are thus not informed about or inclined to order the proper tests.
In addition to whole blood analysis, a variety of other test procedures can help assess nutrient status. |

 Every news item mentioned here is factual news that has been reported in the mainstream media this past week, right here on planet Earth. Not a single story here is fictional.
This is even more astonishing than the idea that there is an alternate universe named Allopathia! Because, you see, the shocker here is not that things are upside-down and insane in some other fictional place, but rather that things are insane right here, right now!
The mainstream media has lost its marbles. |
| I just returned from visiting Allopathia, and while I was there, I was actually reading the news from the mainstream press in America, right here in our own universe!

 The science illiteracy of the mainstream media
Of course, the facts of this study certainly did not get in the way of the mainstream media, which published all sorts of denigrating stories about calcium, even questioning, "Should people stop taking calcium?" Apparently, science illiteracy is so widespread in the mainstream media that reporters can't even decipher the basics of a scientific study. The very concept of a control group is completely foreign to many reporters in the U.S. press. |

 Control the mainstream media. Sound familiar? This is all happening right now in the United States of Amerika, and if we don't work to stop it, this nation will rapidly devolve into a fascist police state where no one is truly free.
We are but a few small steps away from it right now. All it would take is one dirty bomb in a major U.S. city. Bush would declare Martial Law and take over the National Guard. Troops on the streets. Anyone who writes a blog against the government would be arrested. Authors of "alternative" books would be kidnapped and have their books burned on the street. |

 So why didn't the mainstream media report, "Antidepressant Drugs Cause Osteoporosis?"
The answer, of course, is because that would hurt drug sales. So instead, they report, "Depression Causes Osteoporosis" and somewhere in the story they repeat the quote from the researchers claiming that taking antidepressant drugs might actually reverse osteoporosis!
Why are there so many idiots in medicine and the media today? |

 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. |

 Here's the truth about breast cancer you won't read in the mainstream media:
90% of breast cancer is preventable through changes in diet and lifestyle
The average breast cancer patient is worth over $800,000 in revenues to the cancer industry
Vitamin D, all by itself, can prevent nearly 4 out of 5 cases of breast cancer. See http://www.newstarget.com/021892.html
You can get all the vitamin D you need absolutely free of charge by exposing your skin to sunlight. See http://www.newstarget.com/rr-sunlight. |

 President, the Congress and the mainstream media. The long sought-after Weapons of Mass Destruction have finally been found: They're being used by the U.S. military!
Heard enough? We've barely scratched the surface. As far as the crimes of the U.S. federal government go, tapping into Amazon.com's records is little more than a drop in the bucket. It's just a tiny glimpse of the outright betrayal of the U.S. Constitution and the American People that's going on every day in our nation's capitol.
So what can we do about it? |

 With nearly all breast cancer nonprofits being subjugated by drug companies, the FDA censoring alternative cancer solutions, and the mainstream media wildly exaggerating the benefits of near-useless cancer drugs like Herceptin, there's hardly a message heard about breast cancer today that doesn't have a profit motive behind it.
"Breast cancer has been transformed into a market-driven industry. It has become more about making money for corporate sponsors than funding innovative ways to treat breast cancer." - Health Studies researcher Samantha King, author of Pink Ribbons Inc. |

 Mike: That is an excellent point that you mentioned: It is typical for a mainstream vitamin manufacturer to first have in their mind the price point. They have to make a bottle for $5 so they can sell it at wholesale for $15, so they can go into the retail channel and sell it retail for $35. There is less than $5 worth of raw material in a bottle that costs $35 at retail.
Obviously, they have to make many choices to keep those costs down. The synthetic forms of B vitamins, the non-coenzyme forms, or the cheapest minerals they can find and so on. |
