 Monsanto tries to criminalize saving seeds, drags farmer into courtBy Summer Tierney, October 18 2012
(NaturalNews) As if its costly genetic tampering with the whole natural world weren't brazen enough, Monsanto continues to bully and intimidate farmers across the United States, hoping this time to push its agenda through the highest court in the justice system.
The Supreme Court agreed last week to hear an appeal regarding Monsanto's case against Knox County, Indiana soybean farmer Vernon Hugh Bowman. Monsanto has pursued a lawsuit against the 74-year-old claiming Bowman made unauthorized use...
 Scientists 'confident' they have effective vegetable-based treatment for breast cancerBy Sherry Baker, October 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of breast cancer. It is harder to detect, grows the fastest, spreads earlier to other parts of the body and recurs more often. What's more, the arsenal of drugs and chemicals currently used by mainstream medicine to treat TNBC are so toxic that patients often can't tolerate the treatment -- and chemotherapy is often ineffective anyway.
But at the 2012 American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists...
 South Africa publishes updated GMO labeling requirements after food producers violate lawBy Jonathan Benson, October 18 2012
(NaturalNews) New draft amendments published by South Africa's Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) are being hailed as a major victory for food freedom, as they update key sections of a 2011 law that was intended to mandate the labeling of all foods containing genetically-modified organisms (GMOs). According to numerous sources, the amendments will close several unintended loopholes that have allowed unscrupulous food producers to flout the law in regards to GMO labeling.
As reported by GMWatch...
 Home remedies lower blood glucose levels preventing diabetesBy JB Bardot, October 18 2012
(NaturalNews) For people flirting with elevated blood glucose levels, the looming threat of having to take insulin shots can truly be frightening. Diabetes has become more prevalent than ever due to the All-American diet consisting of fast junk food, sodas, and the variety of other garbage people consume -- counter to common rational health advice. Even for many participating in healthier lifestyles and eating whole foods, blood sugar levels may still be troublesome. Whether you're diabetic or prediabetic...
 Manage your blood sugar and diabetes with these four herbsBy Angela Doss, October 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Modern medicine may have its place in emergency care, but when it comes to the prevention or management of chronic illness, many conventional treatments are lacking. In the case of diabetes, the battle is loudly proclaimed to be one of blood sugar regulation. "Check your sugar, and take your drugs as prescribed," seems the tired message of most industry doctors to a steadily increasing number of diabetics.
But where modern medicine falls short in its rigid symptoms-only approach...
 Vitamin D insufficiency promotes chronic disease and increases risk of early death by 50 percentBy John Phillip, October 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Medical researchers have been sounding the alarm about the importance of maintaining optimal vitamin D levels from childhood through to the adult years, but millions of aging adults remain grossly deficient in this critical hormone-based nutrient. Vitamin D has demonstrated efficacy in preventing diseases from cancer to cardiovascular disease and dementia. Every cell in the body is now known to have vitamin D receptors where the nutrient provides an essential key to accurate DNA and...
 TEPCO finally admits catastrophic Fukushima disaster was completely avoidableBy Ethan A. Huff, October 18 2012
(NaturalNews) After repeatedly denying that it could not have done anything more to preventatively curtail the damage sustained at its Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility following the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck on March 11, 2011, the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has finally come forward with an honest admission that its now-stricken facility had preexisting structural and safety problems that the company basically ignored.
TIME.com reports that TEPCO recently...
 Simple prepping in a topsy-turvy worldBy JB Bardot, October 14 2012
(NaturalNews) Growing up during the Cuban missile crisis taught me the fear of annihilation, and my prepper mentality comes honestly. But I'm not ready for the end of the world any more than you. Prepping for something that may never happen and not knowing the outcome is a little like having sex the first time -- you wonder if you're doing it right and how it's gonna to turn out -- you just have to do your best and pray.
The thought of the power going out, the dollar crashing and empty grocery...
 Pharmaceutical giant Genzyme withdraws MS drug in order to re-brand it and sell at 20 times the original priceBy Ethan A. Huff, October 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Thousands of British patients suffering from the devastating chronic inflammatory disease known as multiple sclerosis (MS) now have one fewer conventional treatment option at their disposal thanks to the merciless greed of the Sanofi-owned pharmaceutical giant Genzyme. The U.K.'s Independent reports that Genzyme has intentionally withdrawn a popular MS drug known as alemtuzumab in order to re-brand it and sell it for up to 20 times its current price.
The drug, known as alemtuzumab...
 Falling for the soy ployBy Craig Stellpflug, October 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Soy is relatively new to our diets in the U.S. The soybean was first introduced into the U.S. at the turn of the 1900s to be used in the manufacturing of industrial products like oil, plastic and ink. Soy was not even considered a food product and was actually deemed unfit for consumption. After WWII, cultivation of soybeans in the U.S. rose to 140 billion pounds per year. Fast forward another 65 years and soy products in our food and animal feed are found everywhere.

 Typhoid vaccine a useless dud, health authorities admitBy David Gutierrez, October 18 2012
(NaturalNews) The United Kingdom's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has announced that a typhoid vaccine given to more than 700,000 people in the past two years was partially ineffective.
The vaccine in question, Sanofi Pasteur's Typhim Vi, is designed to prevent infection with the bacteria that causes typhoid fever. Although typhoid fever is rare in the United Kingdom and other first world countries, it remains endemic in many parts of the world, particularly southern...
 Top 4 ways to avoid getting cancerBy Jonathan Landsman, October 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Conventional medicine will never cure cancer. Sad, but true, western-trained physicians are too heavily invested in "treating" disease, while ignoring the true cause of (most) chronic health problems. Let's face it - even if you cut a tumor out of the body or shrink its size - you'll need to know more about curing cancer.
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease...
 26 things to get done before the global debt collapseBy Mike Adams, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) The time between today and the day the global debt collapse reaches our shores is finite. The U.S. national debt clock shows a nation spiraling into financial oblivion. When Ron Paul says "Americans should be panicking" over the Fed's new QE unlimited policy of infinite money creation, he was actually holding back. In reality, Americans should have been protesting in the streets... everywhere!
But instead, they're going to deny reality, vote in the upcoming election, and pretend...
 The farmed seafood you're eating may have been raised on animal fecesBy Ethan A. Huff, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) More than 85 percent of the seafood consumed by Americans is imported, with much of it coming from China, Vietnam, and various other Asian countries that have a not-so-consistent track record of food safety. And as it turns out, conditions at many of the foreign facilities where imported seafood is processed before getting shipped to the states are so filthy and contaminated that if consumers knew just how bad things really were, they would likely think twice before buying that pack...
 Say goodbye to gluten: Over 200 clinically confirmed reasons to avoid wheatBy PF Louis, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) This title is the same as a recent GreenMedInfo.com. It contains a list of over 200 health problems, with celiac disease at the top and including many more not normally associated with gluten intolerance.
The author and founder of GreenMedInfo.com, Sayer Ji, prefers the term gluten toxicity to gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance... "in order to shift the focus away from the victim back to the aggressor, the gluten itself."
Sayer Ji's GreenMedInfo.com article lists all the...
 Child interrogated, suspended from public school for having kombucha tea in lunchboxBy Ethan A. Huff, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) A Southern California mother was shocked to learn recently that her elementary-age son was pulled out of school, interrogated by police, and threatened with five days of suspension for bringing into the school's cafeteria the kombucha tea she packed for him in his lunch box. Sarah Pope of the Healthy Home Economist reports that the young boy was ultimately vindicated of his non-crime of bringing kombucha to school, but only after the boy's mother contacted Pope to explain the issue...
 Don't believe in conspiracies? Lance Armstrong was ringleader of biggest doping conspiracy in sporting historyBy J. D. Heyes, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) He had many of his fans believing in him, rooting for him, pulling for him.
But it seems he never completely convinced sports authorities of his alleged "superman" status.
An investigation into seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has found that he was atop the largest doping conspiracy in the history not just of cycling but of all sports - findings which have ruined both his reputation and legacy. His cancer survival, touted as heroic given his accomplishments, will...
 Common backyard weed may curb cancer riskBy Carolanne Wright, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Found almost everywhere, peppergrass is a familiar plant that many consider an undesirable weed. Who would have thought a backyard 'pest' could potentially prevent cancer? And that is not the only disease deterred by peppergrass -- it has broad spectrum healing qualities for a variety of ailments. Better yet, it's free.
Peppergrass (Lepidium virginicum), also known as Virginia pepperweed and poor man's pepper, can reach three feet high and has flowering stalks with jagged leaves...
 Arctic apples: The genetically engineered apple coming to a store near youBy John McKiernan, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) For the past 10 years Okanagan Specialty Fruits, a small company out of British Columbia, Canada has been developing what will most likely be the first genetically engineered apple to hit the market. The purpose of the genetic alteration is to prevent the apple from turning brown or bruising. The primary objective of the new trait; however, focuses mainly on industry supply chain costs rather than the consumer, as fewer apples will be rejected by grocery stores due to minor bruising...
 B vitamins bolster immune response to fight infection and chronic diseaseBy John Phillip, October 13 2012
(NaturalNews) A vibrant immune response is important to fight viral infections and the common cold, but is also essential to protect against the development and progression of chronic illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and dementia. Many of the most advanced natural therapies to fight and treat the most prevalent illnesses that plaque the young and old alike are centered on heightening our own immune response to accurately detect and eradicate foreign invaders in our body.

 GMO madness: Frankenscientists develop genetically-modified chickens they claim will halt avian flu transmissionBy Ethan A. Huff, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) The H5N1 avian flu virus, which ministers of health propaganda around the world have been using for years to generate overblown panic and fear, is the subject of a new biotechnology project involving genetically-modified (GM) chickens. According to the U.K.'s Guardian, genetic manipulators have developed a transgenic variety of chicken that they claim is unable to transmit avian flu to other birds, even after contracting it themselves.
For their work, Laurence Tiley, a molecular...
 Pumpkins lower blood glucose levels, shrink enlarged prostates and prevent male hair lossBy Brad Chase, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Pumpkins are a form of Native American squash and are welcome both as a decorative and edible item in autumn season festivities. While most people associate pumpkins with Halloween, fall festivals, and American Thanksgiving desserts, both pumpkins and pumpkin seed oil pack a serious health- boosting punch.
Pumpkins and pumpkin seed oil have alkaloids, flavonoids, and three different essential fatty acids. Not only is pumpkin full of antioxidants, the autumn squash has anti-inflammatory...
 Failure of state, federal regulators to blame for disastrous meningitis outbreakBy Ethan A. Huff, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) State and federal regulators are scrambling to shift blame for the nationwide meningitis outbreak linked to tainted steroid injections, even though it was their own respective failures to act in the public interest that are ultimately responsible for this ongoing tragedy. Though these government agencies would have us all believe that they lacked the power and authority to stop the New England Compounding Pharmacy (NECC) from basically operating as an illegal drug manufacturer, the...
 Eating tomatoes is shown to slash stroke risk in halfBy John Phillip, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Stroke continues to rank as the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S., permanently disabling and needlessly taking the lives of hundreds of thousands of adults every year. Recent studies have demonstrated that the risk of stroke can be lowered by following simple lifestyle changes including regular physical activity, limiting or eliminating trans and hydrogenated fats and sugars from the diet and consuming a variety of antioxidants from natural foods or supplemental sources.

 Goodbye Internet freedom: ISPs to start LEGALLY spying on Internet trafficBy J. D. Heyes, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) As we have documented well here at Natural News that personal privacy continues to be under assault in America, a country that defined and once enshrined the concept.
The most recent assault is coming from the nation's largest telecom companies, who are preparing to introduce a long-anticipated "six strikes" plan that will restrict Internet access for repeat offenders of copyright crimes, with one of the proposal's staunchest backers saying such sanctions will begin later this year...
 What Went Wrong? An indictment of the for-profit cancer industryBy Dr. Carolyn Dean, October 17 2012
(NaturalNews) What Went Wrong is not a question, it's a statement of fact in the raging war between alternative cancer therapies and allopathic medicine's standard of cancer care with drugs, chemo and surgery. I added the word Again, because these battles have happened countless times and have cost countless lives.
Dr. Nick Gonzales begins his book, What Went Wrong, with the following words.
"From 1998 to 2005, my colleague Dr. Linda Isaacs and I worked closely with physicians and scientists...

 Don't celebrate yet, but a grassroots victory against GMO deception is now inevitableBy Mike Adams, October 16 2012
(NaturalNews) The battle against genetically modified organisms being secretly engineered into our foods now has only one possible outcome: Victory for the People... and defeat of the corporate quack scientists and the outrageously dishonest and sinister biotech industry that has shoved GMO down our throats for a decade or more.
In terms of victory, I'm not just talking about Proposition 37, although that could very well be a turning point that accelerates the consumer victory. But even if Proposition...
 When you peel an orange, don't throw away the white part under the skin: Bioflavonoids help fight cancer and obesityBy Mike Adams, October 16 2012
(NaturalNews) Citrus fruits have long had a reputation for high concentrations of healthful nutrients such as vitamin C, and recent research continues to uncover new health benefits from many citrus flavonoids. Although the flavonoids are abundant within the fruit itself, they are found in highest concentration in the peel -- which means that unless you're cooking with citrus peel or zest, the best way to get the full antioxidant punch is to eat a bit of the tart, white flesh on the inside of the...
Celebrities speak out on GMO labeling: 'You can't handle the truth about your food'By Jonathan Benson, October 16 2012
(NaturalNews) To illustrate just how utterly ridiculous the campaign fighting against the labeling of genetically-modified (GM) foods truly is, the group Food & Water Watch (FWW) has put together a mock public service announcement (PSA) featuring celebrities Danny DeVito, Dave Matthews, Emily Deschanel and a number of others that pokes fun at the complete non-arguments of the No on 37 campaign seeking to defeat California's Proposition 37 ballot measure to mandate the labeling of GMOs at the retail...
 U.S. Supreme Court to hear case challenging legitimacy of GM seed-saving prohibitionsBy Jonathan Benson, October 16 2012
(NaturalNews) In a landmark case that could either make or break the biotechnology industry as we currently know it, the U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether or not corporate seed giants like Monsanto can legitimately sue farmers who reuse second generation, genetically-modified (GM) seeds to grow future crops without paying royalties on them.
As it currently stands, Monsanto's patent provisions prohibit seed saving, and require that farmers buy new seeds for planting every single year...
 One in 10 teenagers now suffers from liver disease due to toxic food supplyBy Ethan A. Huff, October 16 2012
(NaturalNews) Today, more young people than ever are suffering from a chronic illness -- the cause of which has everything to do with eating a toxic diet -- that used to occur primarily only among older adults with diabetes. Figures recently compiled as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey reveal that roughly 10 percent of American teens are now afflicted with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a potentially deadly condition marked by chronic liver inflammation.

 Ancient agricultural traditions like seed saving could replace disastrous GMO practicesBy Jonathan Benson, October 16 2012
(NaturalNews) Practically everything we have all been told about the supposed benefits of biotechnology is false, at least as far as its necessity and usefulness in agriculture is concerned. As it turns out, traditional methods of agriculture, which include things like seed saving, seed sharing, selective breeding, and permaculture, are all far more viable and sustaining for human life on this planet than anything Monsanto has to offer in the way of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs).

 Tricks and treats to make Halloween healthierBy Christy Pooschke , October 16 2012
(NaturalNews) If you strive to feed your family an additive-free and nourishing diet, the scariest part about Halloween in your family may be the flood of processed candy that's about to come streaming your child's way. Monsters such as high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors and genetically modified organisms are lurking in most conventional "trick-or-treat" goodies; and these ingredients have been linked to a variety of health conditions in children from behavior problems and allergies, to...
 Watermelon plays a significant role in lowering heart disease risk and aiding weight managementBy John Phillip, October 16 2012

A number of prior studies have extolled the many virtues of eating an apple each day to prevent cardiovascular disease, stroke and cancer.
Watermelon is the next food to ascend to nutritional stardom, as it fights the accumulation of arterial plaque to help prevent a heart attack...
 Generic Accutane poses serious health risks - here's a better solution for acneBy John McKiernan, October 16 2012
(NaturalNews) Released in the early 1980s, Accutane has been touted as a miracle cure for acne over the past three decades. However, in 2009, due to rising public health concerns and emerging lawsuits the drug's manufacturer, Hoffmann-laRoche Pharmaceuticals, pulled the drug off the market in 12 countries including the U.S.
While Accutane remains off the market, various generic forms of the drug still exist. These pharmaceuticals go under the names Amnesteem, Claravis and Sotret. Each of these...
Once when we were freeBy Jon Rappoport, October 16 2012
(NaturalNews) We're so much more sensible now. We don't live our lives as much as we arrange them and organize them. B follows A. D follows C. We take our medicine and our shots because the doctor says so.
We're careful, because accidents happen.
We don't say what's on our minds a lot of the time, because other people might pass that on, and who knows? We might get into trouble.
But once upon a time, when we were young, we were free. We didn't take any shots and when we got sick we recovered...
 Steroid injections cause deadly outbreak of rare fungal meningitisBy Jonathan Benson, October 16 2012
(NaturalNews) A rare form of fungal meningitis is sweeping the nation, and the alleged cause is a tainted batch of epidural steroid injections produced by a Massachusetts-based pharmacy company known as the New England Compounding Center (NECC). As of October 8, at least 105 people in nine states have been infected with the disease, known as aspergillus meningitis, and at least eight people have died as a result of infection.

 How 'scientific poisoners' threaten the future of life on planet EarthBy Mike Adams, October 15 2012
(NaturalNews) There is a battle being waged for your mind. To the victor comes influence over your beliefs, you purchase decisions, and even your values. On one side of the battlefield are the so-called 'scientific' poisoners, who are really just proxy scientists and propagandists promoting corporate interests. These 'scientists' want to convince you that there's no such thing as a dangerous pesticide. That GMOs are harmless, in fact healthful. That autism isn't caused by any possibly related to...
 Students who refuse to be micro-chipped are punished by tyrannical Texas schoolsBy J. D. Heyes, October 15 2012
(NaturalNews) The surveillance society continues to expand across America, with those who refuse to go along subject to recriminations and reprisals.
That's what's happening to students at John Jay High School and Anson Jones Middle School in San Antonio whose parents refuse to have their children tracked by school officials.
According to reports, the school districts implemented new rules Oct. 1 that require each student to attend classes with photo ID cards embedded with a radio-frequency...
 Hong Kong beauty treatment is actually a deadly blood transfusion contaminated with lethal 'superbugs'By Ethan A. Huff, October 15 2012
(NaturalNews) A popular cosmetic procedure in the Asian city of Hong Kong was recently exposed as a potential fraud after one woman died and three others were hospitalized. A beauty chain known as DR has been telling women that getting the procedure, known as DC-CIK, will cleanse their skin, reduce the size of their pores, and make them look more beautiful, among other benefits. But tests show that the blood transfusion procedure is often tainted with deadly "superbugs" that may cause serious injury...
 Lance Armstrong nailed for doping; more than 1,000 pages of evidence for 'the most sophisticated doping program the sport has ever seen'By J. D. Heyes, October 15 2012
(NaturalNews) Millions of his fans didn't want to believe it. He himself repeatedly and vehemently denied it.
But apparently, if the (www.documentcloud.org) is accurate (and there's no reason to assume it's not), then it's true: Cycling "hero" and "legend" Lance Armstrong is nothing more than a cheat.
The report - a 202-page indictment of Armstrong's career - accused him of being part of "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."

 Colorado healthcare workers to be fired if they refuse mandatory flu shotsBy Jonathan Benson, October 15 2012
(NaturalNews) The noose is rapidly closing in on the collective neck of health freedom in America, as illustrated by a new state mandate in Colorado that unconstitutionally forces hospital employees to submit to flu vaccinations or else lose their jobs. As reported by CBS 4 News in Denver, workers at hospitals across the state no longer have the option to choose for themselves whether or not to get jabbed with the untested annual flu vaccine -- their only choice in the matter is to either take the...
