Obama lawyers claim Americans who oppose U.S. government are 'legitimate' targets for government bombings, assassinationsBy J. D. Heyes, January 8 2012
(NaturalNews) Do you remember when Barack Obama, as a senator and onetime constitutional law professor, opposed legislation he felt incriminated on the rights of American citizens? If that seems like a political lifetime ago, that's because it was; it was back in a time (2007) when he also believed the U.S. should close Guantanamo Bay, restore Habeas Corpus to Muslims around the world and never hold U.S. citizens as enemy combatants.
How a few years have changed things. Nowadays, Obama still believes...

Large southwest dairy farm could lose organic certification following USDA investigationBy Ethan A. Huff, December 28 2011
(NaturalNews) The first dairy to ever become US Department of Agriculture (USDA) certified organic in the State of Arizona is now set to lose that certification following an investigation spearheaded by the Cornucopia Institute (CI), a small-scale organic farm advocacy group. Shamrock Farms has allegedly been breaking USDA rules for organics by confining cows and restricting their access to pasture, and the USDA is finally getting around to taking action more than three years after CI lodged an initial...
IBM helped automate Hitler's holocaust death machine, author revealsBy J. D. Heyes, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) It is not known that one of America's most successful technology companies was complicit in helping Nazi leader Adolph Hitler build a more efficient killing machine before and during World War II, one author charges.
Edwin Black, who's groundbreaking work, "IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance Between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation" (Crown Books, 2001, and Three Rivers Press, 2002), has just re-released this powerful book of a decade ago in paperback...
 Monsanto spends whopping $2 million in third quarter 2011 lobbying federal governmentBy Jonathan Benson, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) If you have ever wondered how the biotechnology industry has been able to develop the cozy and unquestioning relationship with the federal government that it has today, you need not look much further than Big Biotech's lobbying expenditures. According to a recent Bloomberg Businessweek report, biotech giant Monsanto spent a whopping $2 million just in the third quarter of 2011 lobbying the federal government to support its agenda.
One of its loftiest lobbying seasons on record, Monsanto's...
 Journal commentary suggests flawed studies intentionally obscured benefits of vitamin therapy in preventing strokesBy Jonathan Benson, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) Prior to the release of several studies that claim the therapy is ineffective, taking high doses of B vitamins was considered an effective regimen for lowering homocysteine levels, and thus helping to prevent strokes and cardiovascular disease. But a new commentary published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggests that these negative studies are flawed, and that B vitamin therapy is still an effective heart protection therapy.
Dr. David Spence from the...
 Vitamin B-12 and folic acid prevent memory loss and improve cognition as we ageBy John Phillip, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) Researchers from the Australian National University have shown that essential B vitamins combat stress that results in a loss of memory and normal thought patterns that cause abnormal brain aging. Published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists found that long-term supplementation of daily folic acid and vitamin B-12 promotes improvement in cognitive functioning after a period of two years, particularly in immediate and delayed memory performance. B vitamins are...
 Alternate treatment for chronic acne sufferersBy Fleur Hupston, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) Certain pharmaceutical medications prescribed for acne sufferers come with serious side effects. Many sufferers, desperate to be rid of their embarrassing acne, have found out too late that their treatment choice can cause severe, life-threatening diseases. Using a more natural skin care protocol, orally and/or topically, comes without harmful side effects and is often less expensive.
Severe acne can cause permanent scarring and, in many cases, severe psychological damage. Not surprisingly...
 All that glitters is gold: Metal theft rising in UK and around the worldBy Jonathan Benson, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) Ten years ago, it would have been almost unheard of to hear about thieves targeting facilities like churches or hospitals for their copper trim work, steel-encased generators, wiring, and other metal materials. But today, in the midst of a spiraling global economy, a growing number of thieves are shamelessly nabbing metal wherever, and however, they can, in order to make a quick buck.
Snagging copper wiring from utility poles and air conditioning units is no longer the modus operandi...
 Busted! Scientists leave out data to produce bogus findingsBy S. L. Baker, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) Clinical trials of drugs and other medical therapies are carefully carried out and are the very gold standard of scientific proof, right? According to an in-depth review of this question just published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ,) the answer is no. In fact, the BMJ is sounding the alarm that data reported by scientists is too often not the truth -- because the researchers leave out inconvenient evidence. The result of facts-gone-missing could well be harming patients, spiking...
 Woman files class action lawsuit against Frito-Lay for marketing genetically-modified snacks as 'all natural'By Jonathan Benson, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) Many major food manufacturers have been on a kick to jump on the "all natural" bandwagon, with all sorts of processed food products now claiming to be healthy and free of artificial and synthetic ingredients. However, one such company, Frito-Lay, is the subject of a new class action lawsuit that pegs the company for illegally marketing its snack products, which are loaded with genetically-modified (GM) ingredients, as being natural.
Represented by Milberg LLP of Los Angeles, Calif...
 Protect health freedom at the state level - help pass the Wisconsin Consumer Choice and Wellness ActBy Tara Green, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) Advocates of health freedom are fighting a battle in many states across the US to ensure that holistic health care providers can continue to practice. This will provide people with an alternative to drugs, surgery and radiation which mainstream medicine wants you to see as your only option. One such battle is currently taking place in Wisconsin where activists are working to generate public and legislative attention to a grassroots bill, the Consumer Choice and Wellness Act. The clock...
 Sauerkraut promotes good health (and good fortune, too)By Marsha Anderson, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) Many cultural traditions eat fermented vegetables on New Years Day to bring good fortune. Folklore has it that the long threads of sauerkraut potentially represent a long life. Greens are also associated with money and thus thought to bring good fortune. A practical reason for the tradition may be because cabbage is a late fall crop, and the best way to preserve it for the winter is by making sauerkraut. However, these traditional reasons to eat sauerkraut are trumped by a thoroughly...
 Rosemary oil can be used as a natural meat preservative, and it works better than chemical additivesBy Mike Adams, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) Although some people already use the popular herb rosemary for seasoning their meat, this combination may become more common in the near future as food manufacturers respond to consumer demand for more natural products.
Currently, two of the most common additives used to preserve meat are BHT and BHA. But studies have linked BHA with cancer and BHT with hyperactivity, causing some consumers to avoid products containing them (read ingredients labels to find out if they're in the foods...
FDA backs off regulation on agricultural antibiotic abuseBy Tara Green, January 2 2012
(NaturalNews) Twas three days before Christmas and all through the U.S., people were shopping for last minute gifts. Sneakily into Big Agriculture's stocking, the feds did deposit some deregulation.
On December 22, the Food and Drug Administration quietly announced it would dispense with any regulation of antibiotic use on factory farms. This reverses an anti-livestock antibiotic stance the agency took back in 1977.
Factory farming and antibiotics Thirty-four years ago, when the switch-over...
 Recent breast implant scandal shows lunacy of injecting silicone into the bodyBy Jonathan Benson, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) Former owner of the now-defunct Poly Implant Prosthese (PIP), which once produced silicone-based breast implants, says his illegal substitution of homemade silicone gel is not a health threat because the silicone compound is supposedly non-toxic. But the scandal has brought to light some of the long-term dangers associated with implanting silicone into the body, which include the potential for developing cancer, as well as the need to repeatedly maintain the implants for life.

 And then they came for the food activistsBy PF Louis, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) -- an act which allows for the government of the United States to indefinitely imprison citizens without any access to due process -- has been signed in accordance with a Congress that represents Corporate America and Big Agriculture, but not "we the people". So now we should all consider that the FBI has nothing better to do than seek food activists as terrorists among the other activists deemed domestic terrorists.
The FBI investigated...
 Radiation doctor says TSA naked body scanners can cause cancerBy Jonathan Benson, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) No matter how many times the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) claims the machines are safe and pose no threat to travelers or personnel, naked body scanners that emit ionizing radiation are, indeed, a very serious health threat. And Dr. Edward Dauer, head of radiology at Florida Medical Center, agrees, having recently come forward to explain that naked body scanners can cause cancer, particularly in those over age 65 and in women who are said to be genetically prone to...

 What the Mayan prophecies are really about and how to deal with 2012By PF Louis, January 4 2012
(NaturalNews) Now that we've started 2012, it's time to reflect on the possibilities of what 2012 may bring. Many have interpreted the Mayan calendar as a harbinger of end times. The rumors of earth changes and natural cataclysms abound.
Extreme climate changes, outrageous earthquakes and volcanoes, even the earth's magnetic poles shifting or the earth stopping its rotation and spinning the other way have been posited as probable.
For sure, there have been some serious natural disasters over...
 Class action lawsuit against Monsanto for Agent Orange pollution while Dow seeks deregulation for Agent Orange resistant cornBy Jonathan Benson, January 4 2012
(NaturalNews) Residents of a small West Virginia town near a Monsanto chemical production plant have filed a class action lawsuit against the agri-giant for pollution caused by the decades-long production of 2,4,5-T, a chemical compound that represents about half of the infamous Agent Orange herbicide. At the very same time, the Dow Chemical Company is seeking government deregulation of a new genetically-modified (GM) variety of corn resistant to 2,4-D, the other half of Agent Orange.

 Natural remedies to avoid depression this winter without using medical drugsBy Tara Green, January 4 2012
(NaturalNews) If you live in the upper reaches of the Northern Hemisphere, winter can often mean a seemingly interminable period of cold weather and short days. For many, the lack of sunshine, combined with life stress factors, can lead to depression.
Often people fail to recognize depression for what it is, treating it as a weakness or personality flaw rather than an illness. A "suck it up and get on with it" attitude often keeps people from labeling themselves as depressed, but this approach...
 Four simple ways to improve health in 2012By Fleur Hupston, January 4 2012
(NaturalNews) A new year is viewed by millions as a time for new resolutions, new schedules and a clean start. These resolutions are often made impulsively, with little thought given to long-term goals which means they are usually short-lived. Examining a few health facts and implementing some simple lifestyle changes each day will make a difference to overall health.

Meditation is a phenomenal way to instantly take control of your health. Studies indicate that a...
 CDC, doctors push unproven vaccine 'cocooning' scheme hatched from pseudoscientific quackeryBy Ethan A. Huff, January 4 2012
(NaturalNews) The latest vaccine scam being peddled on the public by US health authorities involves vaccinating parents and family members against certain infectious diseases in order to supposedly prevent transmission of these diseases to babies that are too young to get vaccinated themselves. However, the practice, known as "cocooning," has admittedly never been scientifically proven to work in the first place, and in all honest terms is nothing more than unsubstantiated quackery.

Obama says he doesn't even need NDAA to indefinitely detain AmericansBy J. D. Heyes, January 4 2012
(NaturalNews) It's called "Washingtonspeak," and it's different than the rest of the English language. President Obama used some of it last week when he agreed to sign the National Defense Authorization Act that allows, among other things, the military to detain American citizens indefinitely, to conduct secret kidnappings of suspected terror suspects (even if they are Americans living on American soil), and murder of same if said suspect is deemed a threat to national security. All without a trial...
 NaturalNews declares 2012 the year of consciousnessBy Mike Adams, January 3 2012
(NaturalNews) In Chinese culture, every year has an animal mascot. It's the "year of the monkey," for example, or the year of the rooster. For NaturalNews, 2012 is the year of consciousness (or conscious awakening, in a sense).
Does this mean we're going to abandon the mundane daily news of planet earth and float off into la-la land where we start chanting mantras and worshipping self-proclaimed enlightened gurus? Hardly. In fact, in 2012 I want to talk with you about what I call grounded consciousness...
 Petition: Tell the White House to say NO to Dow's Agent Orange GMO cornBy Ethan A. Huff, January 3 2012
(NaturalNews) Just in time for the new year, the Dow Chemical Company is quietly trying to convince the federal government to deregulate a new variety of genetically-modified (GM) corn that is resistant to 2,4-D, a chemical component that made up roughly half of the Agent Orange chemical weapon formula sprayed on villages and crop fields during the Vietnam War. But you have the power to stop it from happening by signing a new petition created by the consumer watchdog group Cornucopia Institute (CI...
 FDA launches soft investigation, but no recall, after infant formula linked to causing death in babiesBy Ethan A. Huff, January 3 2012
(NaturalNews) Walmart has voluntarily recalled a batch of Enfamil Newborn powdered formula cans from 3,000 US stores after the substance inside them was linked to causing death in some babies. Though the product in question, which includes 12.5-ounce cans from lot number ZP1K7G, are suspected to be the culprit, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not ordered a recall, and the product's manufacturer, Mead Johnson Nutrition, has refused to disclose whether or not formula cans from the suspected...
 Hundreds of reports of sick dogs come flooding in as FDA issues warning about pet treats imported from ChinaBy Jonathan Benson, January 3 2012
(NaturalNews) The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is still reportedly trying to pinpoint the cause of an illness outbreak affecting an increasing number of dogs all over the country. According to a recent warning issued by the FDA, dog owners need to be aware of the source of their pet treats. Many chicken jerky treats imported from China have been making dogs severely ill.
Just a few weeks ago, we reported on 70 known cases of dogs becoming severely ill or dying from chicken jerky treats...
 Study shows selenium may protect against pancreatic cancerBy Tara Green, January 3 2012
(NaturalNews) High levels of selenium in the body appear to reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a study published in December 2011 in Gut, the journal of the British Society of Gastroenterology.
Pancreatic cancer is particularly lethal. It tends to be diagnosed only in advanced stages and 80% of patients die within a year of diagnosis. Statistics show that only 5% of pancreatic patients are still alive five years after diagnosis. In the US, it is the fourth leading cancer in terms...
 Prostate cancer risk linked to a diet high in red and processed meatsBy John Phillip, January 3 2012
(NaturalNews) Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer and second most common cause of cancer related death in men in the United States. Nearly one in five men will develop the disease during their lifetime. New research demonstrates that increased consumption of ground beef or processed meat is positively associated with aggressive prostate cancer, according to a study published in the journal PLoS ONE. Researchers found a strong correlation between well cooked, grilled or barbequed red...
 Healthy resolutions bring a happier and more natural New YearBy JB Bardot, January 3 2012
(NaturalNews) Almost everyone makes New Year's resolutions. However, by February each year, many well-intentioned attempts to make changes in one's life trickle away with nary a glance backwards. Why are so many resolutions never fulfilled? Perhaps it's because the goal is too difficult to accomplish. If individuals choose goals that are more easily attained on a daily basis, the success rate for New Year's resolutions may improve along with the quality of life. Include one or more of the following...
 BPA may cause arrhythmia, heart attacks in womenBy Tara Green, January 3 2012
(NaturalNews) Bisphenol A overrides the natural heartbeat signal causing female heart cells to misfire, according to a recent study. Given how pervasive BPA is these days, this could mean heart problems, possibly even fatal ones, for millions of women.
BPA is everywhere
BPA is ubiquitous in the industrial world: in clear plastic containers, in the epoxy lining of canned foods, in dental sealants, and even coating many store receipts. Studies in the past five years have shown that nearly everyone...
Local farms use human waste as fertilizer, renamed "biosolids"By Jonathan Benson, January 2 2012
(NaturalNews) It is one of the latest forms of "greenwashing" that has many thinking they are "recycling" solid waste, but the practice of dumping biosolids (which is really just concentrated human waste) on farm fields is a serious environmental detriment.
NBC Philadelphia reports that local residents in Lehigh County, located in eastern Pennsylvania, have been raising an issue with local and state authorities about the use of "granulite," a type of sewage sludge fertilizer made from human waste...
 Fisetin from fruits and vegetables protects the aging brain and helps fight cancerBy John Phillip, January 2 2012
(NaturalNews) Fisetin is a unique flavonoid compound found naturally in many fruits and vegetables including strawberries, blueberries and the skin of cucumbers. A wealth of scientific research now explains how a diet packed with raw fruits and vegetables can help prevent amyloid plaque formation in the aging brain and can promote the early destruction of cancer cells by triggering the body's innate immune response. Researchers reporting in the journal Neuroscience Letters found that fisetin is neuro...
More lies: Obama signs into law unconstitutional National Defense Authorization Act to arbitrarily detain American citizens after promising to veto itBy Jonathan Benson, January 2 2012
(NaturalNews) Corruption, betrayal, and lies -- these are the adjectives appropriate to describe the legacy that President Barack Obama is etching into the annals of his political career -- and they are ones that are now further solidified after signing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Some in the mainstream media are blaming his inability to stand up to political pressure, as if this is some sort of justification for his saying one thing and doing another. Others with a more keen...

 Study review shows vitamin D, cod liver oil very effective at preventing and treating tuberculosisBy Jonathan Benson, January 2 2012
(NaturalNews) Sometimes the old fashioned ways of treating disease are still the safest and most effective. A recent review of an 1848 study conducted at the former Hospital for Consumption in Chelsea, UK, now known as the Royal Brompton Hospital (RBH), has found that cod liver oil, which is rich in vitamin D, is still an effective treatment for tuberculosis.
Professor Sir Malcolm Green, who used to work at RBH but has since retired, unearthed the old study which involved over 1,000 patients with...
 Alaska lawmaker blasts TSA in new PSA, warning travelers about revealing full body scannersBy J. D. Heyes, January 2 2012
(NaturalNews) Regular readers of NaturalNews.com already know that the expectation of privacy in America has slowly been eroded through a series of laws and court rulings. In the modern era, one of the most egregious and serial violators of privacy has been the Transportation Security Administration.
The only good news in the sorry state of affairs regarding constitutional violations and privacy abuses by the TSA is that with each new indignity the public - and official - outcry has gotten louder...
Find health with the super food synergy of Indian gooseberry and African mangoBy Dr. David Jockers, January 2 2012
(NaturalNews) Foods that have an incredible array of health benefits that go well beyond just their nutrient value are considered 'super-foods.' Wild fruits have played a significant role in many cultural cuisines all around the world. Scientists have found many great health benefits associated with wild fruits grown in temperate regions of the world. Indian gooseberry and African mango are super foods that have a nutrient synergy that far exceeds their basic nutritional values.

 Study: Taking methadone can double risk of getting in car wreckBy Jonathan Benson, January 2 2012
(NaturalNews) Former drug addicts trying to stay clean and individuals with severe pain are being prescribed methadone, a synthetic opioid, as supposed treatment. But a new study out of Norway suggests that men who take this powerful drug are twice as likely as those not taking it to get in a car wreck while driving.
Dr. Jrgen G. Bramness from the Norwegian Centre for Addiction Research at the University of Oslo evaluated data on methadone users and motor vehicle accidents spanning two and a half...
 Myth busted: Yes, the NDAA does apply to Americans, and here's the text that says soBy Mike Adams, January 1 2012
(NaturalNews) In the aftermath of the signing of the NDAA by the traitorous President Obama, some citizens remain completely hoodwinked by the language of the bill, running around the internet screaming that the law "does not apply to American citizens."
This is, naturally, part of the side effect of having such a dumbed-down education system where people can't even parse the English language anymore. If you read the bill and understand what it says, it clearly offers absolutely no protections...
