(NaturalNews) Thank you to all the NaturalNews readers who have participated in our on-site surveys and feedback forms over the last several weeks. We've been gathering feedback and listening carefully to what readers wanted, and now we're rolling out the features you asked for.
What follows is an overview of the features and content we've recently introduced to the NaturalNews website.
So far, I've reviewed over twelve products, and you can see those reviews here: https://www.naturalnews.com/PulseProductNews....
For each product review, I cover the pros and cons of the product, and I give you the website address where you can find the product. I openly disclose any affiliate relationship (if any) NaturalNews might have with the product retailer or its manufacturer, so that you know exactly where we stand on each recommendation.
You'll also find these short product reviews headlined near the top of each article and breaking news item. My aim is to post one new product review each weekday, bringing you about twenty new product reviews and recommendations each month.
Also based on your feedback, we're currently working on a new product directory guide that will feature the industry's top anti-cancer products. This guide will be available in early January, and I'll keep you posted on its availability.
This still gives you full access to all the stories while allowing you to visually discern the source of the news (in-house vs. contributed).
Please note that I don't personally always agree with the stories posted by Citizen Journalists. I only post them because I believe they offer valuable commentary on an important subject that should be open to more than one view. Although I would never post a story that suggested something ludicrous like supporting mandatory vaccination policies for teens, I do believe there are equally valid perspectives on many health issues, even if they differ from my own views.
So in order to move more quickly on the news, we've let go of the most of the photos, resorting to a text-only layout. Although you'll still see photos on articles from time to time, most will be text only.
We had been looking at Facebook integration for quite some time, but the technical requirements were a bit steep. Fortunately, Google went live with its Friend Connect technology a few days ago, and we leapt at the chance to integrate Google-powered social networking features into our site. You can read about Friend Connect here: http://www.google.com/friendconnect/
So now we have social networking features rolled out across the NaturalNews website. These features allow you to:
• Join the NaturalNews community and invite others.
• Rate articles, cartoons and other content.
• Post your own comments on articles (moderated).
• Become a friend of the Health Ranger or other NaturalNews members.
• Post NaturalNews articles to your social networking accounts, where they can be shared with others.
... and a whole lot more. The benefits to YOU for joining the NaturalNews website as a social networking member include:
• You can post comments that encourage people to view your profile.
• Your profile can link to your own websites, including a site for your book, your business, your healing practice, etc.
• You can meet other NaturalNews community members with similar interests.
• You can help shape the content on NaturalNews by making thoughtful suggestions in the form of article comments.
... and more. These social networking features are very powerful, and you can use them in many ways to connect with others, promote your ideas and join an expanding community of health-conscious people.
You can see current NaturalNews members right now on the home page: www.NaturalNews.com
This is all part of our continuing effort to make the NaturalNews site more about YOU and less about any one person. Although I will continue to be the primary content driver for the website, the conversations about the article topics will expand far beyond the ideas of any one person.
I'm a strong believer in the wisdom of groups (when they're not drunk, anyway, because the opposite of the wisdom of groups is the madness of crowds...), and I welcome discussions, suggestions and constructive criticisms. Purely negative comments or personal attacks will be deleted, of course, but any constructive comments will be posted, even if they don't agree with the views of myself or the NaturalNews community at large.
You can read some of the comments that have already been submitted by viewing the right-hand column of the home page (scroll down below the breaking news...). Visit www.NaturalNews.com/index.html
When you like an article and want to help others see it, simply click these buttons on the bottom of the article. Each click counts as a vote towards the article's popularity on these news aggregation sites, boosting their visibility and readership.
Currently, the most popular news aggregation site is Digg.com, so if you want to boost the article on only one site, click the Digg button. (And thank you for doing so!)
You can "Digg" articles written by myself, in-house writers or Citizen Journalists. If you're a contributing writer, you can even Digg your own article once. (I digg my own articles sometimes just to get the votes started...)
Speaking of our mission, I'm working on a "guiding principles" document that aims to spell out the fundamental philosophies that guide NaturalNews content. This document will describe a powerful, yet self-evident collection of guiding principles that probably 99% of NaturalNews will agree on.
It will be prominently placed on the website so that new users can readily find it and learn what NaturalNews is all about.
I'll bring you the news on that document when it's ready. Until then, have a great week and enjoy the new features on NaturalNews.
What follows is an overview of the features and content we've recently introduced to the NaturalNews website.
More reviews of natural health products
In our surveys, you told us you wanted more reviews and recommendations of natural health products. Previously, we had only been reviewing two or three products a month, but now we've introduced our "Breaking Product News" section that brings you five short product reviews each week.So far, I've reviewed over twelve products, and you can see those reviews here: https://www.naturalnews.com/PulseProductNews....
For each product review, I cover the pros and cons of the product, and I give you the website address where you can find the product. I openly disclose any affiliate relationship (if any) NaturalNews might have with the product retailer or its manufacturer, so that you know exactly where we stand on each recommendation.

Also based on your feedback, we're currently working on a new product directory guide that will feature the industry's top anti-cancer products. This guide will be available in early January, and I'll keep you posted on its availability.
More clarity of news sources
One of the most common suggestions we received asked us to differentiate between the stories of in-house authors vs. contributing writers (citizen journalists). In response to that suggestion, we created two sections on the home page, placing the in-house news reports at the top half of the page, and the Citizen Journalism stories in the bottom half.This still gives you full access to all the stories while allowing you to visually discern the source of the news (in-house vs. contributed).
Please note that I don't personally always agree with the stories posted by Citizen Journalists. I only post them because I believe they offer valuable commentary on an important subject that should be open to more than one view. Although I would never post a story that suggested something ludicrous like supporting mandatory vaccination policies for teens, I do believe there are equally valid perspectives on many health issues, even if they differ from my own views.
Elimination of photos for many articles
Although we've been using pictures on our articles for several years, we've decided to stop sourcing photos for most of the articles from now on. Why? Because the photo searching and integration process was slowing the posting of the news, causing several articles to be out of date by the time they were posted.So in order to move more quickly on the news, we've let go of the most of the photos, resorting to a text-only layout. Although you'll still see photos on articles from time to time, most will be text only.
Social networking unleashed!
One of the most surprising suggestions we kept hearing from readers involved the integration of social network features. In case you're new to social networking, it's a layer of interpersonal online networking that's sweeping the 'net. Through sites like MySpace, Facebook and many others, users can connect with friends, share articles and photos, invite friends to view their websites, distribute announcements and much more.We had been looking at Facebook integration for quite some time, but the technical requirements were a bit steep. Fortunately, Google went live with its Friend Connect technology a few days ago, and we leapt at the chance to integrate Google-powered social networking features into our site.

Digg, Stumble and Yahoo Buzz
You may have also noticed that, over the past few weeks, we've added news aggregation buttons to the bottom of our articles. These buttons allow you to vote for NaturalNews articles on Yahoo Buzz, Digg, StumbleUpon and HealthRanker.com.When you like an article and want to help others see it, simply click these buttons on the bottom of the article. Each click counts as a vote towards the article's popularity on these news aggregation sites, boosting their visibility and readership.

Thank you for your suggestions!
In all, these new features are content formats designed to enhance your experience on NaturalNews. They are, after all, the result of your own suggestions! So thank you for your suggestions, and thank you for your continued support for our mission.Speaking of our mission, I'm working on a "guiding principles" document that aims to spell out the fundamental philosophies that guide NaturalNews content. This document will describe a powerful, yet self-evident collection of guiding principles that probably 99% of NaturalNews will agree on.

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.
Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.
Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.
With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.
Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
