 S&P downgrades nine Eurozone nations and their bailout fund as crony capitalism crumblesBy J. D. Heyes, January 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Just when you thought things couldn't get worse for debt-ridden Europe, they have.
Last week, ratings agency Standard & Poor's downgraded the credit ratings of nine European nations. Then this week, as if to add insult to injury, S&P downgraded Europe's bailout fund, saying in essence that even the fund set up to shield other nations from the debt crisis is in financial trouble. Check and mate.
It was an unprecedented move, with France and Austria having their top-tier ratings...
 Learn to love fevers, not fear themBy Lindsay Chimileski , January 19 2012
(NaturalNews) One of the biggest misconceptions in health care today is the role of fevers. Through misunderstanding, many parents fear fevers, when they should love and respect them. A fever is one of the most extraordinary and intricate healing processes in the body. It plays out like a symphony, orchestrated only when needed to stimulate an immune response, destroy invading organisms and promote the restoration of health. The American Academy of Pediatrics voiced concerns in a 2011 study, concluding...

 SOPA and PIPA bills could threaten natural health websites with government-ordered shutdownBy Mike Adams, January 18 2012
(NaturalNews) On Wednesday, January 18, 2012, NaturalNews.com went "dark" to protest SOPA, the "Stop Online Piracy Act" that is actually a thinly-veiled government censorship effort. We are also protesting PIPA, the "Protect IP Act," which is similarly destructive in its effects. You may have arrived at this page from our mock "seizure" index page which depicts what might happen if SOPA becomes law.
This is crucial for all NaturalNews readers and fans to understand: If SOPA becomes law, NaturalNews...
 Fact: 80 percent of U.S. pharmaceuticals made with overseas ingredients, nearly half produced in foreign facilities never inspected by FDABy Ethan A. Huff, January 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Big Pharma advocates (the few that exist outside the corrupt government structure and the drug industry itself) regularly defend the industry with claims that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) maintains strict regulatory protocols that ensure safety. But a new report reveals that not only are most drug ingredients sourced from unregulated foreign sources, but nearly half of all drug production facilities are located overseas, most of which have never been inspected by FDA.

 New scientific study links bee deaths to pesticidesBy Tara Green, January 18 2012
(NaturalNews) A new study by Purdue University scientists seems to confirm what environmentalists have long suspected -- that the massive bee die-offs known as Colony Collapse Disorder are linked to pesticides. Specifically, researchers are pointing to a category of pesticide marketed by the German chemical company Bayer.
Multiple methods of poisoning beesThe Purdue research indicates bee deaths are connected to neonicotinoid pesticides, which use a synthetic derivative of nicotine. These chemicals...
 Understand the calcium myth; here's what really makes healthy bonesBy Dr. David Jockers, January 18 2012
(NaturalNews) For years we have been taught that calcium was the great solution to weakened bones. Pre and post-menopausal women are recommended to take calcium supplements to prevent bone loss and osteoporosis. New research has shown that the theory of calcium supplementation improving bone health is a myth.
Calcium is the cornerstone mineral in bones. However, calcium consumption does not build bones. Countries with the highest dietary calcium consumption (US, Canada, & Scandinavian countries...
 Study proves 95% of people really are sheepleBy Mike Bundrant, January 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Scientists at the University of Leeds have conducted research that proves the tendency many have to act like sheep, unwittingly following crowd as if they didn't possess a reasoning mind. While this tendency may have its uses in some situations, such as planning pedestrian flow in busy areas, it doesn't inspire a ton of hope for humankind.
The study showed that it takes a minority of just five percent to influence a crowd's direction - and that the other 95 percent follow without...
 'Totally drug-resistant' tuberculosis now sweeping India, 25% fatality rate so farBy Jonathan Benson, January 18 2012
(NaturalNews) A highly-contagious lung disease that has become increasingly difficult to treat, tuberculosis (TB) appears to be making a deadly comeback in India. As was predicted by the World Health Organization (WHO) back in 2009, drug-resistant strains of TB for which there is no viable treatment appear to be on the rise, with a growing number of new cases now appearing in India.
New York Daily News (NYDN) reports that at least three patients with drug-resistant TB in India have already died...
 Coffee promotes cortisol production and weight gainBy Celeste M. Smucker, MPH, PhD, January 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Conventional wisdom about weight loss suggests coffee may be a good addition to a diet plan since it has minimal calories and no fat. While this seems logical, a more holistic view evaluates coffee from the perspective of its influence on the body's ability to metabolize the other food we eat. Recent studies suggest that despite its low calorie count, coffee may actually promote weight gain as well as type 2 diabetes by stimulating cortisol production and insulin resistance.

 Researchers detail lifestyle changes that lower cancer risk by forty percentBy John Phillip, January 18 2012
(NaturalNews) It may come as no surprise to many natural health disciplinarians that cancer is largely an avoidable disease that develops and advances due to poor lifestyle habits adopted over the course of a lifetime. Researchers from Britain have found that more than 100,000 cancer cases, nearly one in four cancers diagnosed, could have been prevented by following simple lifestyle changes. Lead study author Dr. Max Parkin, a cancer epidemiologist based at Queen Mary, University of London, publishing...
 Treating multiple sclerosisBy Mark Sircus., AC, OMD, January 18 2012
(NaturalNews) There are many people, an estimated 350,000 people in the United States that are living with this painful, debilitating, and sometimes fatal disorder of the central nervous system. Western medicine has not come up with good treatment strategies for this disease and the United States government keeps one of the safest and most helpful medicines for this population illegal. Seems they could care less and would doom this population to perpetual suffering.

 Senator pushes for GMO labeling in Washington StateBy Ethan A. Huff, January 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Regardless of whether the Republicans or Democrats occupy the White House, federal regulatory officials continue to disregard concerns about genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), and stonewall all efforts to mandate proper GMO labeling. As a result, individual states are having to craft their own GMO labeling legislation, including a new bill recently introduced in Washington State that would mandate GMO labeling beginning in 2014.

Dulse is a clinically proven antioxidant, protein source, and plant-based source of iodine and potassiumBy Donna Earnest Pravel, January 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Red or purple in color, dulse is considered a superfood because of its high iodine and potassium content, plus a long list of micro-nutrients and phytochemicals. Many herbalists prefer dulse over kelp in green superfood recipes because of its bland flavor. Found primarily in cold waters off the Atlantic coast of Canada, Ireland, and Norway, dulse has been used traditionally to control parasites, treat scurvy, and improve thyroid function.

 Health Basics: How do you live to be 110?By S. D. Wells, January 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Tell someone you're over 100 years old, and they might assume the worst right away, guessing that you have a dozen medication bottles next to the bed and that your health is quickly deteriorating. How could it be that a man who's going on 111 and taking no medication, who simply eats fresh vegetables, olive oil, honey, cinnamon, garlic and chocolate, can bounce around his kitchen like he's half his age?

Omega-3 fat in fish oil could provide a cure for leukemiaBy John Phillip, January 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Scientists from the medical sciences division at Penn State University have discovered that a compound in fish oil appears to target leukemia stem cells and could lead to a cure for the disease. The compound is a natural extract from EPA, the Omega-3 fat component found most commonly in fish and fish oil supplements. Known as delta-12-protaglandin J3, or D12-PGJ3, the molecule is shown to target and kill the stem cells of chronic myelogenous leukemia, a common form of the disease. Extensive...
 Allegations of drug substitution fraud, racketeering lead to class action lawsuit against WalgreensBy Jonathan Benson, January 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Patients who had certain prescriptions filled at Walgreens between 1999 and 2006 may not have received the drugs they thought they did, or at the price they should have. A new class-action lawsuit accuses Walgreens of conspiring with generic drug-maker Par Pharmaceutical Co. to overcharge for certain generic drugs, and to substitute other more expensive drugs in place of what was actually prescribed.

 New legislation would strip you of your citizenshipBy J. D. Heyes, January 16 2012
(NaturalNews) You remember that loathsome, constitutionally questionable provision of the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act that allows the U.S. military to indefinitely detain even American citizens only suspected of terrorist and other activities, right? Now comes its evil twin, the Enemy Expatriation Act, or H.R. 3166, which would strip you of your citizenship as well.
According to a summary of the bill, the act would amend "the Immigration and Nationality Act to include engaging...
 Instead of drugs and behavioral therapy for ADHD, try changing diet insteadBy Jonathan Benson, January 16 2012
(NaturalNews) It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that many of the symptoms associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the often over-diagnosed condition tacked on many young people, can be treated by simply altering or supplementing one's diet. And a new study published in the journal Pediatrics helps confirm this, noting that when drugs and behavioral therapies are ineffective, ridding the diet of toxic additives, for instance, and consuming more whole, organic...

Are UN soldiers responsible for bring deadly cholera superbug to the Americas? Scientists say yesBy Ethan A. Huff, January 15 2012
(NaturalNews) The devastating earthquake that slammed Haiti back in January 2010 obviously left the poverty-stricken country in even worse economic and infrastructural shape than it was prior to the disaster. But the arrival of United Nations (UN) peacekeepers shortly thereafter made things even worse, at least according to many scientists and experts who say that these officers brought in a deadly "superbug" strain of cholera that has already killed at least 7,000 Haitians.

 Four easy ways to circulate your lymphatic fluidBy Marsha Anderson, January 15 2012
(NaturalNews) Everyone knows that the circulatory system has a very famous, much loved central component called the heart. The heart works non-stop 24/7 for an entire lifetime circulating blood. The lymphatic system is a specialized component of the circulatory system that doesn't have the advantage of a central pump. The flow inside the lymphatic vessels is unidirectional because of one-way valves that keep the lymph from traveling backwards but the circulation depends largely on movement.

 How I got away with stolen cookies and created an alternate reality: a clue to the strategy used by big pharma and the APABy Mike Bundrant, January 14 2012
(NaturalNews) In the early days of my training as a psychotherapist, I chose an odd mentor, an old man with white hair and steely blue eyes who fit the classic description of a sage. Every month a small group of us would venture out to his hide away in some obscure village in northern New Mexico and sit at his feet, reveling in the mysteries of the psychotherapeutic process. His name was Zink, and sometimes he gave us very strange assignments.
Once he said, "I want to you steal some cookies from...
Eating Wisely (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, January 1 2012

 Tuna labeled 'dolphin safe' is still caught with practices involving the deliberate and life-threatening harassment of dolphinsBy Mike Adams, January 13 2012
(NaturalNews) Starting the late 1980s, cans of tuna sporting "dolphin safe" labels started to appear in U.S. grocery stores. Brands carrying these labels were preferentially purchased by consumers appalled by fishing practices that had led to the death of 8 million dolphins since the 1960s -- namely, the deliberate encirclement and netting of dolphins in the Eastern Pacific, who tend to swim with schools of yellowfin tuna.
But not all dolphin safe labels are created equal. Earth Island Institute...
 SSRI horrors grow: women who take popular antidepressants risk babies with severe high blood pressureBy S. L. Baker, January 12 2012
