DOJ wants to criminalize putting fake information on dating sites, uploading videos to YouTube

By Jonathan Benson, November 18 2011
(NaturalNews) Currently, the worst thing that can happen to an internet user who violates a private website's terms of service and gets caught is that he or she may be suspended or banned from the site. But the US Department of Justice (DOJ) wants to take this a step further by making any violation of a website's terms of service a criminal offense worthy of fines and potential jail time. Match.com users who lie about their age in their personal profiles, for example, or teenagers who use Gmail...

How EMF filters can protect your home

By Lenette Nakauchi, November 18 2011
(NaturalNews) Electromagnetic fields, or EMFs, are emitted by all electronic devices. This means that EMFs are in your home, in your office, and even outside! Unfortunately, few people are aware of the dangers of overexposure to EMFs and even fewer know how to prevent it. EMF filters are a great way to keep your home safe and reduce the EMF exposure of your family. Because information about EMFs can become highly technical, many people don't bother to read up on them, as they don't understand...

The relationship between glucose and vitamin C plays a huge role in health

By Dr. David Jockers, November 18 2011
Vitamin C is made naturally in almost all living animals except humans, primates and guinea pigs. Dogs and cats produce their own vitamin C from ingested food that have metabolized into glucose. Humans must consume vitamin C from its food sources, or they risk severe health problems. There is an intimate relationship between glucose and vitamin C that has a dramatic impact on immunity and overall cellular health. Most animals and plants are able to synthesize their own vitamin C. This is done...

Natural black birch reduces pain, lowers risk of heart attack

By Jonathan Benson, November 18 2011
(NaturalNews) When you are suffering from pain and want to avoid taking a pharmaceutical painkiller, why not try chewing on a twig from the black birch tree instead? FOX News' "Medicine Hunter" Chris Kilham recently took a special trip to New York's Central Park with "Wildman" Steve Brill to test the natural medicine for himself. According to Wildman, black birch, or Betula lenta, contains natural non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) Oil of Wintergreen just underneath its bark in the green...

By Jonathan Benson, November 17 2011
(NaturalNews) Millions of Americans use scented candles, air freshener sprays, plug-in deodorizers and diffusers to make their living spaces smell clean and pleasant, but are the chemicals in these products safe? New research compiled by scientists from Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., and the Atlanta Allergy & Asthma Clinic suggests that various chemical additives in air fresheners can trigger allergies, asthma and other health problems.

Texas Medical Board again tries to destroy Dr. Burzynski with new lawsuit to revoke his medical license

By Ethan A. Huff, November 17 2011
(NaturalNews) The medical establishment in Texas refuses to give up its vicious agenda to destroy the work and career of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, the famed cancer doctor whose innovative and specialized antineoplaston (ANP) treatments have helped cure many patients of supposedly "incurable" cancers. The Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) has announced that the Texas Medical Board (TMB) is once again suing Dr. Burzynski to have his medical license revoked, and his Houston, Tex.-based clinic shut down...

EPA targets families that generate heat off the grid using traditional wood-burning stoves

By Jonathan Benson, November 17 2011
(NaturalNews) Traditional wood-burning stoves are still one of the most cost-efficient, sustainable, and renewable sources of energy production that families can use to heat their homes. But the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not a huge fan of them, as was evidenced by its recent decision to push those who use traditional models to convert to EPA-approved -- and oftentimes much more expensive -- alternative models. Throughout history, civilizations have relied on the burning of wood...

Antibiotics, probiotics, and the medical monopoly paradigmAlmost everyone who knows anything about gut flora knows it's wise to take probiotic...

The CDC betrays the public trust

By Mark Sircus., AC, OMD, November 17 2011
(NaturalNews) One would think that public medical officials would be honest and on the ball with their tremendous responsibilities to protect the public. When you read this essay and what certain officials have done you will probably get mad. Really mad! In general I am against the death penalty as I am against killing of any kind. Though the Bible sanctions death and killing, it is clearly against murder and the taking of innocent life. We could argue all day about what some people clearly seem...

Blood pressure control is essential to minimize stroke risk and avert memory decline

By John Phillip, November 17 2011
(NaturalNews) Researchers reporting in the journal Neurology have found that elevated blood pressure as we age contributes to stroke risk and memory loss associated with cognitive decline. Stroke is the fourth leading killer of adults in the US, and loss of cognitive abilities leading to dementia ranks in the Top Ten causes of mortality. Hypertension and other known stroke risk factors also increase the risk of developing cognitive problems, even among people with no history of the vascular disorder...

By Ethan A. Huff, November 16 2011
(NaturalNews) Much of the attention concerning the dangers of getting vaccinated for human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer has been focused on Merck & Co.'s Gardasil. But a recent report in the UK's Daily Mail explains that GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) Cervarix, a competing HPV vaccine, recently left an otherwise healthy girl in a "waking coma" where she is now unable to talk or walk, and sleeps 23 hours a day because of a complete lack of energy. Lucy Hinks' parents, Steve and Pauline, say...

CDC admits not a single person has died from consuming raw milk products in 11 years

By Ethan A. Huff, November 16 2011
(NaturalNews) The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) refuses to acknowledge that, based on all available statistics, raw milk produced on clean, small-scale farms is actually far safer than pasteurized milk from factory farms. But the agency did admit earlier this year, after being pressed and warned of a potential Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request if it failed to comply, that not a single person has died from raw milk consumption in over a decade. This may come as a shock...

Supreme Court Justice Breyer warns of 'Orwellian' government

By J. D. Heyes, November 16 2011
(NaturalNews) There's an old saying used by serial conspiracy theorists who get a little tired of being told they're crazy: "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone's not out to get you!" That said, it's no secret among politicos and administration watchers that political nemeses of President Barack Obama have warned early and often during his tenure that he is a borderline dictator and hell bent on trashing the Constitution. And while such statements tend to sound a bit over the top...

How the mighty (cancer screening tests) have fallen

By Randall Neustaedter OMD, November 16 2011
(NaturalNews) Three of the most widely used screening tests in medicine have taken a hit lately and been cast into disfavor or abandoned. The Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test has been condemned as useless in saving lives and accused of leading to unnecessary surgical interventions. This test, which had previously been popular as a screening tool for prostate cancer in men over 50 is now reviled. It not only does not reveal cancers that lead to loss of life, but it leads to unnecessary biopsies...

Why the medical monopoly attacks homeopathy

By Paul Fassa, November 16 2011
(NaturalNews) It's ironic that in a state sponsored medical system such as England's, there has been a big push by the medical powers to eliminate funding for homeopathy. Homeopathic hospitals in England have budgets that are miniscule compared to what the government pays for allopathic institutional equipment and medical drugs. Homeopathy patients aren't complaining. So what's really behind this push. Homeopathy - a short history A German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, started homeopathy in the...

Arby's nutrition information - here's what you need to know

By Tara Green, November 16 2011
(NaturalNews) Recent health research indicates that Harold and Kumar could have skipped the pot and gone straight to White Castle -- or any other fast food emporium -- for a high. A study published in July 2011 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) found that fatty foods trigger a chemical effect in the body similar to that of marijuana. At least one fast food purveyor seems to have decided to capitalize on this effect: Arby's now uses the slogan "It's good mood food." Good...

Congress nullified as new, illegal "supercommittee" pushes secret farm bill that will cost billions

By Mike Adams, November 15 2011
(NaturalNews) The concentration of elite legislative power in America is well under way today as the new "supercommittee" is working on an end-run around Congress to put together a "secret farm bill" that would prop up failed agricultural policies with yet more billions in taxpayer dollars. The "supercommittee" is the newly-formed (and utterly illegal) committee of 12 members of Congress who engineer new debt-related legislation that's only allowed an up or down vote by the full Congress.

New evidence chemotherapy for breast cancer causes brain damage

By S. L. Baker, November 15 2011
(NaturalNews) Primary breast cancer (meaning a breast malignancy that hasn't spread to other parts of the body) isn't usually thought of as causing neurological problems. After all, if cancer hasn't spread to the brain, why would it? Researchers have been forced to wonder about the answer to that question because a growing body of evidence over the past several years strongly suggests that women with breast cancer are at increased risk for not only problems with brain function but with actual alterations...

FDA allows conventional meat and produce to be blasted with radioactive nuclear waste, treated with virus 'cocktails'

By Ethan A. Huff, November 15 2011
(NaturalNews) The use of pesticides and the presence of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) are not the only major differentiating factors between conventional food and organic food. According to GreenMedInfo.com, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows the conventional food supply to be irradiated with nuclear waste at extremely high levels, and also treated with deadly bacteriophage virus "cocktails" in order to make it "safe" for consumers. It is a dirty little secret of the factory...

Can probiotics replace the flu shot?

By Len Saputo, November 15 2011
(NaturalNews) We now know the real reason why children hospitalized with swine flu have been at risk for dying. It is not because of the swine flu virus itself! Most of them contracted methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections that they passively harbored in their nasal passages before contracting the swine flu. While swine flu itself can cause death, it is far less common than when MRSA is present; about eight times less common! Most children with MRSA pneumonias have been carriers...

Green tea confirmed as a weight loss nutrient and heart health antioxidant

By John Phillip, November 15 2011
(NaturalNews) Green tea (and its less refined cousin, white tea) has been a part of the ancient Chinese tradition for countless generations, in large part due to its rich endowment of bioactive catechins. Many studies over the past decade have shown that green tea is a powerful tool to improve metabolism in a way that is supportive of weight loss. Scientists publishing in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry demonstrate that it activates genes associated with fat burning while also helping...

Take action NOW to prevent hijacking of organics by big agribusiness

By Ethan A. Huff, November 15 2011
(NaturalNews) The integrity of organics is currently under attack by corporate influences that seek to dilute organic standards; thus, by making them more favorable to large agribusiness enterprises they attempt to unfairly capitalize on the organic name.

FDA violates law by refusing to ban antibiotics from use in animal feed

By Ethan A. Huff, November 14 2011
(NaturalNews) Earlier in the year, several concerned groups sued the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for failing to address the issue of antibiotic use in animal feed (http://www.naturalnews.com/032824_antibiotics_animal_feed.html). Though numerous studies have found that adding antibiotics to animal feed undeniably causes antibiotic resistance, including an FDA study from 1977, the agency insists that banning the practice is too difficult. The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), the Center...

Health Canada orders doctor to stop using traditional Amazonian medicine to treat addicts

By Jonathan Benson, November 14 2011
(NaturalNews) For the past several years, Dr. Gabor Mate of Vancouver, Can., has been facilitating the use of a traditional Amazonian hallucinogenic tea in his patients with very serious addictions.

Feeding prisoners genetically modified soy products may be 'cruel and unusual' punishment

By Ethan A. Huff, November 13 2011
(NaturalNews) A Florida prison inmate is filing a lawsuit against the state's prison system for what he says is cruel and unusual punishment.
