Junk science: negative study on calcium and vitamin D supplements was poorly constructed, yet widely reported Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Again, not one of the mainstream press stories that reported this bothered to examine the facts on this study. I haven't found a single journalist covering this study who actually looked at the structure of the study with any degree of skepticism. It just goes to show you: the mainstream press will print anything, no matter how ridiculous the conclusions, as long as it appears to come from a legitimate source and agrees with the financial interests of advertisers. The bottom line? This study was poorly designed, poor followed, and ultimately comes up as junk science.

The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George See book keywords and concepts

Is there hope that my case will be milder than what I read about in the mainstream press? ?Can you imagine a future in which you'll no longer use the term "AD"? •Can we try a different approach? I'm not comfortable with that label, and I'd like to talk about how we might approach my situation differently. If your doctor is unable to carry out the type of dialogue that you need, you should consider finding another professional who will be more sympathetic to your perspective.

China executes top FDA official while the U.S. does nothing to counter corruption Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

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.

Health news from a parallel universe (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

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! 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!

Study "Disproving" Mercury-Autism Link Published in Journal with Financial Ties to Vaccine Manufacturers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

REPPED: While the mainstream press is widely reporting a new study "disproving" any link between autism and mercury-containing thimerosal in vaccines, no one has bothered to point out that the study was published in a medical journal stacked full of ads from the very same drug companies that manufacture and market vaccines.

Mainstream media criticizes Wikipedia because it represents a decentralization of their information monopoly Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

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.

Revealed: The original cause of bird flu, and realistic solutions for preventing a pandemic Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

As you can tell, my advice is: Don't trust the mainstream press on this issue. They are either ignorant of the anti-viral properties of herbs, which is possible, or they're just unwilling to print anything about them. For some papers, it could be the first reason. For other papers, it could just as easily be the latter. Some papers are heavily manipulated by their advertisers. They don't want to anger the drug companies that are supporting their salaries. So, don't get your information from the mainstream press.

Visit an herbalist to combat bird flu So that's the truth about the bird flu virus and the antiviral herbs that we are still, at this point, not hearing about in the mainstream press. This is the truth that the mainstream press refuses to print, and they say we have a free press in this country. We have a controlled, manipulated, censored press in this country, and that's why you're only being told about two things.

Kevin Trudeau's Natural Cures book review Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

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.

Alternative Medicine?: A History Roberta Bivins See book keywords and concepts

When the mainstream press started reporting Chinese success in treating the disease, Western physicians faced not only a loss of market share, but a loss of face: a defeat at the hands of a medical system they saw as the superstitious quackery of an inferior culture. And then, to heap indignity upon injury, their own patients and parliamentarians called upon the orthodox medical profession to validate this foreign remedy through scientific examination.

Why the bird flu virus is less deadly but more dangerous Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

No. The mainstream press isn't explaining this very well, so let me cover the basics. It has to do with evolutionary biology, or what you might call microbiological Darwinism, which basically involves how these viruses survive, thrive and get passed on from one person to the next. If you're a really deadly virus -- like Ebola, which kills 90 percent of the people infected -- then you're actually not very good at spreading from one person to the next. Why? You kill your host too quickly. You're so deadly that your host dies before you get a chance to be infectious.

Why America is still a great place to live: thirteen things I love about this country Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Certainly in the United States there's a lot of censorship and editorial control in the mainstream press, but a blogger can get online and say just about anything they want (as long as it's not something like instructions on how to make a bomb). We can freely criticize the government, the president, private groups and even professions. At the same time we can sing the praises of those things we believe are really phenomenal and positive in this country. That's what freedom of speech is all about.

Nutritional products from New Chapter and other health innovators Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Too often, the information that you really need in order to be healthy is totally absent from the mainstream press. You're not going to get that information from the USDA with their ridiculous Food Guide Pyramid. You're not going to get it from the FDA. They're out there just defending the drug companies, trying to get you to take more drugs, convincing you that you have diseases which don't even exist. They're trying to get you on a lifetime of prescription drugs that you don't need. You're also not going to get that information from a lot of the popular magazines out there. Why?

Interview: the Cancer Control Society offers information and answers for cancer patients Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Mike: About those clinics: Sometimes there's a perception in the minds of people who are only paying attention to the mainstream press that these are back-country, low-tech, dirty clinics, and that's not the case at all. Can you describe what these clinics are like? Frank: Right now in the Tijuana area, there are approximately 20 alternative therapy facilities. Some of them are very modern concrete and glass buildings. There are some operating in converted or renovated houses, but certainly clean, and to the degree they want to be technically advanced, they have machines to do that.

New job opportunities at the Food and Drug Administration (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Career opportunities abound at the FDA, and it's easy to succeed with this job since the mainstream press will print practically anything you say, regardless of whether it makes any scientific sense, as long as it's on official FDA letterhead. Starting salary: $75,000 plus a license to kill any idea (or health business) you don't like. Science Censor Have a scientific background? Put it to good use at the FDA as a respected Science Censor. Your job will be to bury all the scientific findings that harm the prestige and credibility of the FDA.

American news industry a far cry from genuine journalism Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

They're tired of every news story in the mainstream press actually being a commercial pitch in disguise. They're tired of being manipulated by Big Business and exploited for profit. They want something fresh, honest and intelligent. Readers want to be respected and treated right. People are tired of web browser pop-ups. They're sick of having to register on a news site just to read a story. And they're fed up with seeing the same exact story, parroted by twenty different news organizations, all on the same day. If you're one of those people, welcome to the NewsTarget Network.

Junk science: negative study on calcium and vitamin D supplements was poorly constructed, yet widely reported Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It just goes to show you: the mainstream press will print anything, no matter how ridiculous the conclusions, as long as it appears to come from a legitimate source and agrees with the financial interests of advertisers. The bottom line? This study was poorly designed, poor followed, and ultimately comes up as junk science. Yet it's being touted by pharmaceutical-funded newspapers and media outlets around the world as an "A-ha!" moment, proving that calcium supplements and vitamin D supplements are useless. Faced with this information, what should consumers do now? Take more drugs, no doubt.

Beating cancer -- how to take charge of your cancer cure and outlive the lies of the cancer industry Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I did it all by turning to nature and ignoring all the information from modern medicine, companies, the FDA, the mainstream press, medical schools, cancer centers and everybody else. That information will, in my opinion, lead to a life of chronic pain, degenerative disease, and medical bankruptcy. If you want to be healthy, you've got to acknowledge your human nature and your interaction with the natural world around you. You have a blueprint for health in you right now. You're supposed to be healthy. That's your DNA.

Junk science: negative study on calcium and vitamin D supplements was poorly constructed, yet widely reported Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

In fact, in looking at ten different articles in the mainstream press, I didn't find a single article that actually mentioned the dosage of calcium of vitamin D that was given to patients. I only found two stories that mentioned the very low compliance rate of study participants. About half the people didn't even take their supplements! Didn't these journalists ever think that these details might matter? But here's the really interesting part: when you look at this study closely, the whole thing falls apart.

Plant-based diet greatly reduces risk of cancer, say studies Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

But here's what's fascinating about this study that you probably haven't heard in the mainstream press: it was conducted on regular, everyday people that are generally consuming unhealthy diets to begin with.

Breakthrough cure for diabetes isn't so; news headlines mislead type 2 diabetics Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The answer is something that's almost never talked about in the mainstream press: the consumption of dairy products. One of the causes is cow's milk that confuses the body's immune system and makes it to think that the pancreas beta cells are in fact the enemy. The immune system then destroys those cells, resulting in a pattern of symptoms called 'type 1 diabetes.' There is a strong correlation between the consumption of milk and dairy products and the development of type 1 diabetes. Certainly, there are other causes, but this is one of the more preventable causes of this disorder.

Heavy metals warning for ayurvedic herbs is a distraction from the real threats to your health Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

This is an important finding and worthy of discussion but, once again, the mainstream press is blowing this all out of proportion by claiming that all Ayurvedic herbal remedies are contaminated with heavy metals. The people behind this announcement clearly have an agenda, and that agenda is to discredit all herbal remedies in an effort to call for new FDA oversight of herbal remedies and nutritional supplements. And they do that by scaring people with headlines that distort the true findings. These are just a handful of products sourced from India and Pakistan.

Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century Alex Steffen See book keywords and concepts

The goal is to include a variety of opinions and viewpoints previously ignored by South Korea's conservative mainstream press. With 27,000 citizen reporters and about 1 million daily readers, OhMyNews has become perhaps the most influential news source in Korea. japan Media Review recently interviewed OhMyNews founder Oh Yeon-Ho, who said, "Journalism is changing. The form of 20th century journalism and the form of 21st century journalism will be fundamentally different.

Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies Greg Critser See book keywords and concepts

Lilly's Oraflex team decided to expand the concept: why not send the kits out to thousands of mainstream press outlets, including TV and radio, perhaps pushing the notion (albeit technically unproven) that Oraflex actually healed tissues and hence might "cure" arthritis? Their strategy, which today might be considered comically tame, was radical for its day and quickly generated enormous media attention. The result: Lilly sold an unprecedented half a million prescriptions of Oraflex in its first fourteen weeks on the market.

Junk science: negative study on calcium and vitamin D supplements was poorly constructed, yet widely reported Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Just because some new study has been announced in the mainstream press doesn't mean it's true. More often than not, it's just a way to appease their advertisers -- the drug companies. As usual, it's all about selling you more high-priced drugs rather than giving you information that might actually help you stay healthy. If you want REAL health information, read NewsTarget.com. Or check out the ebooks at TruthPublishing.com. That's where you'll get courageous, straight talk on how to be a healthy human being, without spending a dime on prescription drugs.

Medical journal reveals that 70 percent of drug decision-making panel members have financial ties to industry Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Guess which five the mainstream press will cover in the news? Guess which five will show up in a published peer-reviewed article in the medical journals? They also don't tell you about the influence of medical journals themselves. Drug-pushing medical journals Drug company advertising brings in hundreds of millions of dollars a year that fund these medical journals and pay the salaries of the editors who determine which studies the journal will and won't accept. So guess what gets into the journals? That's right -- the studies that promote prescription drugs.

Kevin Trudeau's Natural Cures book review Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Watch for the FTC, AMA, FDA, the mainstream press and others to do everything in their power to silence Trudeau to prevent him from doubling his success with a second book that reaches even more readers. In the end, though, they can't silence us all. In the end, truth will prevail, and like the downfall of Nazi Germany in 1945, Big Pharma will soon find itself stretched too thin, hated by all for the pain and suffering it caused, and clinging to a desperate, discredited existence.

the Health Ranger exposes health deceptions while promoting honest health solutions Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

You're not going to get a story that has an agenda of pleasing advertisers, which is what you see in the mainstream press all too often. All these stories about the "miracles" of prescription drugs -- for example, this new statin drug, impotence drug, anti-cholesterol drug, anti-inflammatory drug -- these stories keep advertisers happy, don't they? That's because the advertisers are supporting more and more of the salaries and financial infrastructure of the media today.

The discovery of DNA variability, holographic blueprints and the symphony of life Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Contrary to previous beliefs, as much as 10 percent of human genes vary wildly from one person to the next. The mainstream press is hailing the discovery and some sort of breakthrough that will shed light on so-called "incurable" diseases and give researchers the ability to create more targeted medicines. (There's always a pro-Pharma slant in the mainstream media isn't there?) In reality, this new DNA discovery explains why most pharmaceuticals don't work for most people.
