 The mind-numbing television anchor and his role in the MatrixBy Jon Rappoport, January 8 2013
(NaturalNews) Most of America can't imagine the evening news could look and sound any other way.
That's how solid the long-term brainwashing is. The elite anchors, from Douglas Edwards and John Daly, in the early days of television, all the way to Brian Williams and Scott Pelley, have set the style. They define the genre.
The elite anchor is not a person filled with passion or curiosity. Therefore, the audience doesn't have to be passionate or filled with curiosity, either.
The anchor is...
 Hand Signals for the BlindBy Dr. Carolyn Dean, January 8 2013
(NaturalNews) I wrote the following article almost 40 years ago in my third year of medical school. It was published in The Tupper Times, Dalhousie Medical School, December 1976. I think the only reason I wasn't kicked out of med school was because nobody was around for the Christmas holidays when it was published!
What I said then is still included in what I say now. But nothing has changed for the better in our health care system; it's actually gotten worse.
Are there any solutions?

 Article updated with new message from the Health RangerBy Mike Adams, January 8 2013
(NaturalNews) The article which originally appeared here has been removed because it is no longer aligned with the science-based investigative mission of Natural News. In late 2013 / early 2014, Mike Adams (the Health Ranger), editor of Natural News, transitioned from outspoken activist to environmental scientist. He now runs the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, conducting world-class food science research and publishing scientific papers on food contaminants and nutritional analytics.

 Healthcare companies bribing customers with gift cards if they get mammogramsBy Jonathan Benson, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) The cancer industry is getting so desperate to recruit new customers that it is resorting to cheap gimmicks and bribery to convince women to get screened for breast cancer. It recently came to our attention that numerous hospitals and cancer centers across the country are now advertising "free" gift cards to their members who agree to get mammograms, as if the irradiating medical procedure was some kind of "Black Friday" special just in time for Christmas.
The UCare health group...
 Five must-have winter rescue natural remediesBy Angela Doss, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) Along with all the holiday festivities and togetherness come equal exposure to stress and sickness. Demands on our time, our pocketbook and yes, even our waistline. In the name of celebration, many people succumb this time of year to eating fewer nutritious foods and more junk foods. And when the body must dedicate its precious resources to breaking down those ingested toxins, is it really any wonder that it becomes more vulnerable to attack?
Though Natural News readers are likely...
 Total media blackout on shooting where private citizen stopped mass murder by using a gunBy J. D. Heyes, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) Just two days after the horrible massacre of 20 Kindergarten children and six adults by an armed psychotic, another mass murder did not take place at a movie theater in San Antonio.
For those of you who don't live in that south Texas city, did you read about this non-massacre in your local paper? Did you see it online? Hear about it on the radio or television?
If not, trust us when we say it's not your fault. It's the fault of the mainstream media, for they have once again failed...
 Are vaccines causing RSV and other diseases?By Craig Stellpflug, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) We vaccinate our infants thinking we are protecting them from deadly diseases. Yet, when we vaccinate them, we weaken their immune systems. This leads to poorer health and a greater risk of contracting diseases like the sometimes deadly respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). In a very recent study, infants with severe lower respiratory tract infections are found to have a dysfunctional immune response correlating to the severity of the disease. (RSV is the leading cause of lower respiratory...
 Antibiotics are proven ineffective for coughs: Try Chinese medicine and herbs insteadBy J. D. Heyes, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) As more research is done regarding so-called "non-traditional" healthcare, doctors and scientists are rediscovering "old" treatments that are increasingly supplanting today's standard treatments for a number of conditions.
That includes coughs that often accompany the flu or mild chest infections, according to a recently published study in the journal Lancet.
About 2,000 patients from across 12 European countries were tasked with keeping an "illness journal," the BBC reports....

 Ten ways to use colloidal silver's amazing healing abilitiesBy PF Louis, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) Colloidal silver consists of silver atoms suspended in distilled ion-less water. The particles of silver are small enough to penetrate on a cellular level and destroy pathogens of all types, including bacteria, fungal spores, parasites, and viruses.
Not only does silver get rid of pathogens, it helps promote rapid healing of the tissues infected or destroyed. Most burn centers use various forms of silver and silver soaked bandaging for burn victims.

 After Sandy Hook: how psychiatrists will become policemenBy Jon Rappoport, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) Obama, in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre, stated that mental-health services must be made more available, presumably to stave off future killers.
Of course, this is monstrously wrong, since so many killers have acted under the compelling influence of SSRI antidepressants and other brain meds. The drugs are known to induce violence.
More mental health means more murders.
Now we hear that Joe Biden's presidential task force on gun control is meeting with psychiatrists. Here...
 Do you know that 80% of chronic degenerative diseases originate in the mouth?By Katherine Leonard, MS, NC, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) Tooth health plays an important role in overall health. Conditions such as gum disease, TMJ, cavities, bad breath, digestive distress, and even heart disease and diabetes indicate that there are biochemical imbalances in the mouth and throughout the body. Low stomach acid, imbalanced bacterial populations, and poor diet and lifestyle likely contribute to an unhealthy mouth and consequently an unhealthy body. Unfortunately, brushing your teeth, using mouthwash, and getting regular teeth...
 Female fertility declines with age but also with GMO - learn to boost fertility naturallyBy Antonia, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) A series of studies featured in the journal Human Reproduction reveal an unsettling truth: fertility starts declining in women alarmingly soon and most couples are not even aware of it. The same study reveals that increasingly more couples think they can rely on fertility drugs to conceive later in life, grossly overestimating their efficiency.
Fertility starts slowly declining during the late 20sWomen in their early 20s have about 50 percent chances to conceive two days before ovulation...
 Make hot cocoa with real raw cocoa powder and reap the health, mood and skin benefitsBy Danna Norek, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) Unsweetened, raw cocoa powder, the same stuff that is used to make that sinfully delicious "guilty pleasure" food chocolate, has a multitude of health benefits. They are often overlooked because it is so often incorporated into overly sweetened treats like candy bars.
However, the raw powder that is the basis for all of these indulgent treats is surprisingly low in calories, high in fiber, and rich in several potent antioxidants. In fact, when added to some heated skim organic milk...
 More deception at the White House: Benghazi 'officials' who were fired actually weren'tBy J. D. Heyes, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) The families of the four Americans who were killed in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 still don't have answers to all of their questions as to how it was possible for our government to have left one of its diplomats so under-protected and exposed in a known hostile environment.
To add insult to injury, now they and the rest of the country are discovering that those who were supposedly "punished" for their lapses in duty weren't really "punished" at all.
In fact, The New York Post...
 Patient prescription drug records may be used to deny Americans their constitutional rightsBy Mike Adams, January 7 2013
(NaturalNews) All Americans who have been prescribed psychiatric medications could be denied their constitutional rights under gun control legislation expected to be introduced into the U.S. Senate on January 22nd. Although the actual text of the bill is not yet available to the public, the heavy emphasis on "mental health" in recent gun control discussions echoes the present-day denial of Second Amendment rights to veterans diagnosed with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

 Google causing children to be 'brain dead' warns successful inventorBy J. D. Heyes, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) The "Google generation" is in danger of losing its creativity, warns one of Great Britain's most successful inventor, because they tend to rely on the Internet for just about everything, which is putting them in danger of becoming "brain dead."
Trevor Baylis, 75, inventor of the wind-up radio, said kids today are losing creativity and practical skills because they are spending far too much time staring at a computer screen, Britain's Daily Mail reports.
Because of that, Baylis...
 How to prevent gallstones with everyday foodsBy Jonathan Benson, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) Hoping to avoid gallstones while doing nothing to actually prevent them from forming is like hoping your car will not run out of fuel while never visiting a gas station. If you are serious about preventing gallstones, in other words, it is important to regularly feed your body the nutrients it needs to maintain a clean, well-functioning gallbladder. Here are some useful tips for preventing gallstones with everyday foods:
1) Juice fresh fruits and vegetables daily. The gallbladder...
 The Feds don't care about pot smokers; they just keep HEMP illegal in order to maintain the power, medicine, and fuel monopoliesBy S. D. Wells, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) The Feds (federal government) couldn't care LESS about pot smokers, and a bunch of people feeling happy and eating nachos late at night while talking about the universe and maybe a little "green" peace. In fact, the U.S. government only cares about keeping HEMP FARMING ILLEGAL because that, my friends, will ruin the corporate medicine, power and fuel conglomerates. Think about it; cigarettes and alcohol cause diseases and deaths right and left, but nobody overdoses on pot, so what is...
 Reverse Multiple Sclerosis by eating the Paleo Diet, increasing vitamin D, and avoiding artificial food additivesBy Katherine Leonard MS, NC, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, degenerative disease of the nerves in the brain and spine. The disease causes the body to attack an insulating substance around nerve cells called myelin. When the myelin is damaged, the function of the nerves deteriorate, resulting in muscle weakness, imbalance or loss of coordination, vision loss, and tremors. Research is now showing that the disease can be reversed by adopting a paleolithic diet (primarily meat, veggies, and nuts), optimizing vitamin...
 EPA administrator uses same secret email tactics used by terrorists to elude law enforcementBy J. D. Heyes, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) The Obama administration has been in office now going on four years. Do you know which cabinet-level department is headed up by Richard Winsor?
If you're scratching your head, don't worry - you're not alone. There is no cabinet-level department head named Richard Windsor in the Obama administration.
Sort of.
The Windsor name is actually an alias that has been used by Environmental Protection Agency head Lisa Jackson, and a pair of congressmen want to know why.

 Six natural remedies for lowering blood pressure fastBy Jonathan Benson, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) High blood pressure is no longer just an affliction of the elderly, as more than one-third of young people between the ages of 16 and 34 are now said to suffer from some form of hypertension. And a recent study out of California revealed that, if left unchecked, this cardiovascular malady, even in its mild form, can lead to premature aging and brain damage.
The conventional solution to this growing health epidemic is to simply take more blood pressure medications like angiotensin...
 Exclusive interivew with Charlotte Gerson: Healing diabetes in 5-11 daysBy Mike Bundrant, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) When Charlotte Gerson was 12, her father, Max Gerson, MD, healed her tuberculosis, which was considered a death sentence at the time. Now at age 90, Charlotte is the leading authority on what has become known and celebrated worldwide as Gerson Therapy.

 FDA approves experimental tuberculosis treatment that carries increased risk of deathBy Antonia, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) Bedaquiline, a drug developed by Johnson & Johnson for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, relies on a new mechanism of action that blocks an energy-carrying enzyme necessary for the growth of TB bacteria. Unfortunately, this medicine comes with some worrying side effects.
High liver toxicity, heart condition and death are shrugged off as inconclusiveAlthough the drug is effective according to preliminary tests, it carries an unusually high risk of liver toxicity,...
 Hollywood hypocrisy explodes on-screen as 'demand a plan' actors open fire with blood and gutsBy J. D. Heyes, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) It's really no surprise that most Hollywood stars are radical leftist sycophants who support uber-liberal politicians, since both species of humans are among the most hypocritical beings on the planet.
Nowhere is this more perfectly demonstrated than in a newly produced video that superimposes A-list stars who are stumping for more gun control in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings with extremely violent movie scenes they have made where they are using - you guessed...
 Yet another study finds gulf spill 'cleanup' chemicals uselessBy David Gutierrez, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) Just days after the publication of a study finding that chemical dispersants meant to clean up the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico actually made the oil more toxic, a study in Environmental Science & Technology reveals that the dispersants failed even at their primary goal: preventing oil from reaching the ocean surface.
The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Miami, Columbia University, Colorado School of Mines and SUNY at Stony Brook...
 Top 10 new year's resolutions for psychiatristsBy Mike Bundrant, January 5 2013

 Fasting may help children with epilepsyBy Raw Michelle, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) Since ancient times, fasting has consistently been regarded as an important part of treating various diseases, including epilepsy. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have investigated the effects of fasting in conjunction with the ketogenic diet (high fat, low carbohydrate intake), after early evidence showed that water fasting and carbohydrate abstinence reduced the frequency of epileptic seizures for more than half the patients exposed to a fasting-based therapy.

 Colloidal gold: The great rejuvenator of mind and bodyBy Michael Ravensthorpe, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) Many health-conscious individuals are familiar with colloidal silver, and the scientific research into its anti-bacterial and germicidal properties speaks for itself. Less popular and understood, however, is colloidal gold. Colloidal gold is a tasteless colloid made from minute gold particles mixed with water, and its health benefits are altogether different from those of colloidal silver. Let's take a closer look at those benefits.

 The essence of diseaseBy Hesh Goldstein, December 14 2012
(NaturalNews) The natural healing approach to curing health related issues is always in the direction of self-cleansing, self-repairing, and positive health. This philosophy maintains that even acute disease is a manifestation of the body's efforts in the direction of self-cure.
Disease, or downgraded health, may be eliminated only by removing from the system the real cause and by raising the body's general vitality so that its natural and inherent ability to sustain health is allowed to dominate...
 US Marine lays out the raw truth on gun control to Senator Dianne Feinstein: 'I will not be disarmed'By Mike Adams, January 5 2013
(NaturalNews) Dianne Feinstein's unconstitutional gun confiscation bill is expected to be debate by the U.S. Senate on January 22nd. If passed, the bill would criminalize tens of millions of legal gun owners who have already gone through FBI background checks, and it would outlaw the transfer of firearms to family members, requiring guns to be turned in to the government upon the owner's death. It also bans nearly all pistols, rifles and shotguns used for self defense, farming and ranching, and it...
 Doctors don't warn men about penis-shrinking cancer treatmentsBy Sherry Baker, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) Imagine you are a man diagnosed with prostate cancer and, like countless other patients, you receive certain treatments. When you are through with the therapy, you notice a physical change that your doctor never mentioned could happen. Your penis seems to be decidedly smaller. In fact, it's so much smaller that the change in size interferes with your intimate relationships.
However, a shrinking penis would certainly be a side effect doctors would have mentioned before starting prostate...
 Sign the petition to demand White House, govt. buildings become 'gun free zones'By J. D. Heyes, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) President Barack Obama has vowed to use the power of his office to seek sweeping new gun control measures to kick off his second term in January, a new petition posted on the White House's We the People website is calling on the administration to practice what it preaches for ordinary Americans.
Specifically, the petition demands that the president issue an executive order amending the 1990 Gun-Free School Zones Act to "establish the White House, all federal buildings and federal...
 70 percent of double mastectomies are pointlessBy David Gutierrez, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) 70 percent of breast cancer patients who undergo a double mastectomy do not actually need the procedure, according to a study to be presented at the Quality Care Symposium of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Michigan, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the University of Southern California and Wayne State University, and funded by grants from the National Cancer Institute.

 Study: 97 percent of children affected by 2009 mumps outbreak were vaccinated for conditionBy Jonathan Benson, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) More evidence has emerged showing the complete failure of modern vaccines to provide any real protection against disease. A recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) reveals that an astounding 97 percent of children affected by a mumps outbreak that swept the Northeast back in 2009 had already been vaccinated for the condition in accordance with recommended government guidelines.
According to the study, 3,502 children of primarily Orthodox Jewish upbringing...
 Entitlement-collecting voters outnumber taxpaying workers in 11 U.S. statesBy J. D. Heyes, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) At a time in the not-too-distant past America was a nation that encouraged meaningful labor, rugged individualism and, most importantly, self-reliance. But more and more America is becoming a nation of welfare zombies, a European-style socialist nightmare where government largess is replacing a productive work ethic.
In fact, the number of Americans receiving some form of government assistance has exploded since 2000; those on food stamps alone have risen from 17 million at the turn...
 Seven healthy habits to begin in the new yearBy PF Louis, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) Now that this long holiday season is over, it's time to review our resolutions or contemplate how we should begin working toward changing our bad health habits into good ones. If you haven't made any resolutions yet, or if you're questioning the integrity of what you've considered, here are seven suggestions (with subdivisions).

 NY Times: trashing the Constitution for fun and profitBy Jon Rappoport, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) re: NY Times op-ed, "Let's Give Up on the Constitution," December 30, by Louis Michael Seidman
It doesn't surprise me that the NY Times has decided the Constitution is merely a reference document now. The paper's loyal readership, what's left of it, lives huddled on the upper east side of New York, behind their hundred-million-dollar front doors, where wealth must be protected through any and all means.
The Constitution might impede that. Much better to have a central government...
 Resolve to make new year's resolutions a success in 2013!By Dr. David Jockers, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) The new year brings about an obvious sign of transition and is a great time to reflect and make changes in life. Many individuals make resolutions to improve their health and quality of life but very few accomplish what they set out to do. Maximized Living has designed a seminar experience to help people resolve to make their new year's resolution a success.
According to the most recent polls, 45% of Americans make some sort of New Year's resolution. By far and away the most popular...
 Proper diet is the key to prevent a second (and first) heart attack and strokeBy John Phillip, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) Although it may not sound like a cutting edge scientific discovery, researchers have confirmed that eating a proper diet and avoiding processed convenience foods can dramatically lower the risk of suffering a second heart attack or stroke. Health-minded individuals and alternative medical practitioners have known this for many years, as healthy eating also is the key lifestyle factor in preventing vascular and many other chronic illnesses in the first place. Nonetheless, it may signal...
 Widespread hospital infections by antibiotic-resistant CRE bacteria prove the danger of U.S. healthcare facilitiesBy Summer Tierney, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) A clever opponent attacks precisely where its enemy is most vulnerable, but don't expect it to just stop there. In what may soon become the newest, most fatal consequence in the marriage of conventional medicine and irresponsible, narcissistic technology, an emerging family of drug-resistant bacteria, that's been quietly preying on patients of hospitals and nursing homes for more than a decade, are gaining strength, making headlines and raising concern across the country.

 Sheriff Joe Arpaio's solution to protecting school children: An armed volunteer posseBy J. D. Heyes, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) He's known for his outside-the-box approach to law enforcement, and his most recent idea for protecting school children from crazed killers is just as non-mainstream, though it is a notion catching on with other law enforcement personnel in more communities around the country.
Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio, known for his tough, unconventional methods of incarceration (making prisoners wear pink jumpsuits and peddle bicycles to generate enough power to watch television...
 Overeating could lead youths down the path of drug addiction: Find out how to improve your teen's dietBy Raw Michelle, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) "Physicians and parents should be aware that both overeating and binge eating are quite common in adolescents, and these problems put them at risk for other problems, such as drug use", says Kendrin Sonneville, doctor at Boston Children's Hospital.
Kids who overeat are more likely to try drugsA recent study revealed an unsettling truth: a lot of kids are eating more than they should, and a correlation exists between overeating eating and drug use. For this research, scientists looked...
 Attention smokers: Do you wake up coughing? Here's the cureBy S. D. Wells, January 4 2013
(NaturalNews) If you smoke cigarettes, or if you live with a smoker now or have in the past, you are most likely familiar with the "smoker's cough," but why does it happen first thing in the morning while just getting out of bed, and how come it's not a productive cough? When you have a chest cold or bronchial congestion from allergies, usually you can cough up some mucus and at least breathe or feel a little better, but for smokers, sometimes the only temporary relief that calms the morning cough...
GMOs: The ultimate solutionBy Hesh Goldstein, December 30 2012
(NaturalNews) By now, most of us are aware of the GMO problem and the political corruption akin to it.
Monsanto claims that GMOs are safe. This was the same comment made by the tobacco companies back in the 40s and early 50s regarding cigarette smoking.
Now we know without a doubt that smoking and lung and throat cancer are kissing cousins. Because GMOs have been around for 15 years or so, with no long-term studies other than Monsanto's being done, we only have Monsanto's word that GMOs are...
 'Demand a Real Plan' video goes viral: Government democide and disarmament are greatest threats of violenceBy Mike Adams, January 3 2013

 Hey Americans: If you fly, you already put your life in the hands of gun-toting pilotsBy Mike Adams, January 3 2013
(NaturalNews) Most people aren't aware of this fact, but thousands of commercial airline pilots routinely bring loaded guns onto airplanes and fly with those guns in their possession, right on the flight deck. This is perfectly legal, and the guns are all privately-owned by the pilots themselves.
In 2008, there were nearly 10,000 gun-possessing airline pilots in America, and the number continues to grow. Up to 90,000 airline crewmembers are eligible to carry a firearm on airplanes during passenger...
 'Balanced' tax deal: $41 in new spending for every $1 in cutsBy J. D. Heyes, January 3 2013
(NaturalNews) Many Americans have long known that accounting practices in the nation's capital are, to put it mildly, "creative." Pay increases tend to come automatically, money can be printed and valued out of thin air, and spending "cuts" generally don't mean actual cuts to budgetary line items - only reductions in the amount of spending increases.
It is in this context in which voters should actually view the recently completed "balanced tax-and-spending deal" reached by lawmakers and President...
 Obama secretly signs warrantless phone surveillance lawBy J. D. Heyes, January 3 2013
(NaturalNews) Without fanfare, President Obama has reauthorized a law that allows the U.S. government to conduct surveillance on overseas activities of suspected spies and terrorists.
The law, which has been around since the 1970s and is known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, was set to expire at the end of 2012, but Obama and Congress have extended it for an additional five years.
Provisions of the law allow the government to conduct all manners of surveillance, tracking overseas...
