Students denied education because of disabilitiesBy Jonathan Benson, October 6 2011
(NaturalNews) If you have a disability that could be interpreted as disruptive or distracting to others -- and you lack the means to deal with it on your own -- you just might be denied an education. This is exactly what happened to Channing Seideman, a former student at Colorado Mountain College, when she had an unexpected seizure during an emergency medical technician class at the school.
CBS 4 in Denver, Colo., reports that Seideman's teacher and other faculty members asked her to drop the...
 Return to real money: China to install more than 2,000 gold ATMsBy Jonathan Benson, October 6 2011
(NaturalNews) The return to real money is making swift gains as public distrust and uncertainty about the viability of fiat currencies continues to grow. And according to a recent report in Digital Journal, some countries, including China, are actually installing automated teller machines (ATM) that dispense gold bullion rather than paper currency.
Since 2000, the price of gold in terms of US fiat currency (Federal Reserve Notes) has jumped nearly 800 percent as a result of inflation and the continued...
 Organic consumers rally at Whole Foods to demand GMO labelingBy Brigid Shaw, October 6 2011
(NaturalNews) Whole Foods Market, a grocery chain with a reputation for bringing "natural" foods to consumers, has suffered substantial criticism in recent months due to its failure to identify products that contain genetically modified ingredients.
The nonprofit Organic Consumers Association organized a demonstration at a Chicago Whole Foods in May to raise awareness about the lack of labeling of food with genetically modified ingredients. A group of protesters in white hazmat suits staged a...
 Where does all the Komen for the Cure money really go?By PF Louis, October 5 2011
(NaturalNews) During October, there will be runs, walks, and other fund raising schemes for "curing cancer." The most notorious fund raiser is the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. They display the most pink within the pink ribbon culture. Their mission statement is a world without breast cancer. So why are they ignoring actual existing cancer cures?
Pink washingWoe to any other non-profit fund raising group that uses their event or activity linked to the phrase "... for the cure." Komen threatens...
 BPA exposure before birth linked to breast cancerBy S. L. Baker, October 5 2011
(NaturalNews) To many people interested in healthy living, the term BPA is nothing new. It stands for bisphenol A, an industrial chemical used in many hard plastic bottles and metal-based food and beverage cans since the 1960s.
A known hormone disruptor, BPA is hard to avoid. But once you learn about its dangers, you know why it's worth the effort to look for BPA-free products. For example, NaturalNews has carried story after story about evidence that links BPA to all sorts of serious health problems...
 Tens of millions of Florida bees mysteriously drop dead in one day, beekeepers blame pesticidesBy Ethan A. Huff, October 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Authorities have already ruled out disease, including the infamous "Colony Collapse Disorder" (CCD), as the cause of a recent honeybee holocaust that took place in Brevard County, Florida. The UK's Daily Mail reports that up to 12 million bees from roughly 800 apiaries in the area all dropped dead at roughly the same time around September 26 -- and local beekeepers say pesticides are likely to blame.
CCD is the term often used to describe the inexplicable mass die-off of honeybees...
 Many 'natural' foods are loaded with GMOsBy S. D. Wells, October 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Weed killer is thriving biologically inside most conventional crops as they grow in the fields of America, only to be sprayed with more heavy doses of Roundup, and then shipped to the world's supermarkets as "all natural," with absolutely no GMO disclaimer or warning. Even vegetarian products have been infiltrated by this cancer-causing "Trojan horse."
Corn and soy based products infiltrate the American "norm" for daily general consumption, and the healthcare industry loves the results...
 JPMorgan Chase donates millions to NYPD prior to mass arrests at Occupy Wall StreetBy Jonathan Benson, October 5 2011
(NaturalNews) It may be a simple coincidence, or it may be the perfect embodiment of exactly why thousands of protesters across the US are hitting the streets en masse under the banner of Occupy Wall Street (OWS). Earlier this year, financial giant JPMorgan Chase & Co. donated $4.6 million to the New York Police Department (NYPD) to "strengthen security in the Big Apple" and several months later, the NYPD conveniently arrests over 700 individuals, all at one time, involved in peaceful OWS protests...
 Shy children now candidates for dangerous psychiatric drugsBy Elizabeth Walling, October 5 2011
(NaturalNews) New guidelines for mental illness turn shyness in children from a personality trait into a mental disorder that warrants drug treatment. Drug companies already target children, who fidget too much in class or have trouble concentrating on their homework, with stimulant drugs for treating attention deficit disorder. Now children who sit too quietly or are more withdrawn than their peers will also be targeted with medication for social anxiety disorder or depression.
These new guidelines...
Lavender - Find out about these pretty flowers that healBy Paul Fassa, October 5 2011
(NaturalNews) That lovely group of lavender blossoms can do more than look pretty. For centuries lavender has been used to calm nerves, eliminate insomnia and headaches, and reduce gastrointestinal ills. And during this century and the last, there have been more dramatic medicinal uses discovered with lavender, including balancing menopause symptoms.

Provence, France provides the most abundant source of lavender. It's obvious many of the French Impressionists were influenced by the...
 Motivation by crisis: the global epidemic of consciousnessBy Mike Bundrant, October 5 2011
(NaturalNews) Please compare the scenarios below and determine which one would cause you to act more quickly and decisively. If you are a normal human with a functioning nervous system, the answers won't be difficult. However, the dilemma that arises because of the answers may well represent the consciousness epidemic of our age.
Scenario 1:
All is well in your home, yet you don't have a written fire escape plan and tools (window ladders, fire extinguisher, first aid kit and first aid training...
 NaturalNews pledges $15,000 to the IRT in matching fund donations to help end GMOsBy Mike Adams, October 4 2011
(NaturalNews) We are on the verge of achieving a significant milestone in the fight to eradicate GMOs from the U.S. food supply. A California ballot initiative has just been launched that seeks to put a mandatory GMO labeling requirement in place (http://www.naturalnews.com/033763_GMOs_California_ballot_initiative.html). This, in turn, would result in nearly all U.S. food producers discontinuing the use of GMOs to avoid the embarrassment of having to admit GMOs on their labels.

 Nursing home scandal exposed: Lost generation of senior citizens being hospitalized for profitBy Christina Luisa, October 4 2011
(NaturalNews) A shocking new study conducted by the National Institute of Aging just revealed that one fifth of Medicare nursing home patients with Alzheimer's or other dementia were sent to hospitals for "questionable reasons" in their final months, often enduring tube feeding and intensive care that prolonged their suffering.
Here's the kicker that makes these "questionable reasons" a lot less mysterious: Medicare pays THREE TIMES the normal daily rate for nursing homes to take patients back...
Feds demand 25 more bundles of Indian wood from Gibson GuitarsBy Ethan A. Huff, October 4 2011
(NaturalNews) The federal government simply will not leave Gibson Guitars alone. According to a recent report in the Nashville Business Journal, federal authorities have now demanded that Gibson hand over 25 more bundles of legally-obtained Indian wood on top of the several others it already confiscated during a massive raid back in August (http://www.naturalnews.com/033454_Gibson_Guitar_armed_raid.html).
Like practically every single other guitar company in the world, Gibson imports a special...
 US tried to conspire with Japan to dump nuclear waste into world's oceans, reveal documentsBy Jonathan Benson, October 4 2011
(NaturalNews) When nuclear energy production technology first began to emerge in the US in the 1950s, neither scientists nor the US government considered what would be done with nuclear reactors once it was time for them to be put out of commission. And recently-released documents reveal that, in an effort to hastily deal with this problem after the fact, the US government actually tried to conspire with Japan to gain secret approval for dumping decommissioned nuclear reactors into the world's oceans...
 There's wood in my food? Wood-derived ingredients common in processed foodBy PF Louis, October 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Lately there have been rumors about sawdust used as fiber filling in processed foods. Well, not quite sawdust. The cellulose used in many foods is processed powder or pulp from virgin wood. It's becoming more common. Though not toxic, what good is it?
Wood cellulose explainedSince the virgin wood pulps and powders are not toxic, the FDA says it's okay to use in food. The food industry and FDA classify wood cellulose as fiber. The only limit on wood cellulose fillers is 3.5% in meat...
 AMA losing members in droves, less than 20 percent of US doctors support its agendaBy Jonathan Benson, October 4 2011
(NaturalNews) The significance and credibility of the American Medical Association (AMA), an organization that allegedly backs physician interests and the promotion of public health, is quickly deteriorating. It is a fact that a mere 17 percent of US doctors are even members in the group anymore. Droves of current AMA members are now resigning, because of the group's open support for "Obamacare."
According to a recent Forbes report, nearly half of the doctors that have cancelled their AMA memberships...
 The apple - Boost your brain power with a common almost forgotten fruitBy Paul Fassa, October 4 2011
(NaturalNews) The outdated apple a day keeps the doctor away adage has been replaced with fresh apple juice three times a week. This new routine was discovered after a ten-year study determined it helped Alzheimer's patients by greatly reducing the chance of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from even occurring. Another study uncovered heart health benefits.
The benefits
Dr. Thomas Shea, a neurobiologist, and his research team at the University of Massachusetts topped off years of studying apples' effects...
 Fruit and vegetable consumption effectively lowers colon cancer riskBy John Phillip, October 4 2011
(NaturalNews) Health-minded individuals are well aware that a diet high in natural fruits and vegetables equate to vibrant health and dramatically lowered risk of many chronic diseases. The result of a new study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association provides details on how specific fruit and vegetable consumption lowers the incidence of many types of colon cancer, the third most prevalent form of the disease. Foods such as apples, broccoli and cauliflower each lower the risk...
 Death blow to GMOs? California ballot initiative calls for mandatory labeling of all genetically engineered foodsBy Mike Adams, October 3 2011
(NaturalNews) In what is perhaps the most significant breaking news we've heard on the GMO front in a long time, an effort has just been announced in California that seeks to gather enough signatures to put an historical initiative on the ballot which would require the labeling of GMOs in foods.
I interviewed Ronnie Cummins from the Organic Consumers Association (www.OrganicConsumers.org), who is a key leader in advocating mandatory GMO labeling. His organization is playing a significant role...

(NaturalNews) As part of the Rally for Real Food event that demands GMO labeling of food, Mike Adams (the Health Ranger) delivered a rousing speech from the steps of the Austin, Texas capitol building.

 Occupy Wall Street, the American revolution that the mainstream media is ignoringBy Ethan A. Huff, October 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Right now in New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, and a growing number of other cities, tens of thousands of protestors of all stripes and political persuasions are marching in protest of the corporate corruption that has infiltrated and taken control of the US government -- and the mainstream media (MSM), of course, has been virtually absent in covering this massive and escalating demonstration against the current state of US politics.
The ongoing demonstrations...
 Warning to parents: Anesthesia used in surgical procedures for babies and toddlers causes learning disabilitiesBy S. L. Baker, October 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Millions of infants and toddlers age two and under are subjected to surgery every year. Sure, some have been in serious accidents and are suffering other types of emergency situations that require life saving operations. But the vast majority are basically healthy kids put under general anesthesia for procedures like repairing hernias or placing tubes in ears because of repeated infections. And sometimes these surgeries are repeated or a youngster has multiple operations.

 British documentary uses fake video game footage to allege connection between Gaddafi and IRABy Ethan A. Huff, October 3 2011
(NaturalNews) When British television channel ITV was recently caught trying to peddle fake video game footage as if it was actual footage of Irish Republican Army (IRA) fighters shooting down a British helicopter, the network claimed it was an "accident." But to the rest of the world, the stunt represents either a complete lack of competence, or a poorly-wrought indictment of the mainstream media's obvious use of propaganda to promote an agenda.
ABC News in Australia reports that ITV has apologized...
USDA threatens $60,000 fine, federal raid against woman in legal possession of indoor lemon treeBy Ethan A. Huff, October 3 2011
(NaturalNews) The US government's assault against innocent American citizens continues to get more aggressive and just plain strange, with new reports of harassment against honest owners of ordinary lemon trees. Health Freedom Alliance (HFA) reports that officials from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) are now spying on people whom they suspect are in possession of ordinary lemon trees, and threatening them with excessive fines and even federal raids if they refuse to surrender the plants on...
 Cannabis oil is a highly efficient natural cancer cureBy Raw Michelle, September 28 2011
(NaturalNews) Ever since the mid 70s, medical scientists have been well aware of the beneficial effects of cannabinoid compounds over cancerous cells. Thanks to modern science, over a dozen studies conducted during recent years have been able to partially reveal just how it works. Yet cannabis is still not endorsed by pharmaceutical companies as a cancer cure, and since it is not promoted through mainstream channels, very few people are aware of its benefits. Consequently, it is not sought after...
 The bioenergetic basis of illness (part I)By Larry Malerba, DO, October 3 2011
(NaturalNews) Mainstream medicine tends to balk at the suggestion that there may be subtler energetic forces at play in disease processes, as if this notion was some sort of science fiction fantasy. However, if the laws of physics determine all chemical and, therefore, all biological processes, then the answers that we seek in the quest to heal human ills are likely to be found through investigating the energetic nature of biological systems. I believe it is time for the medical establishment to...
 Article updated with new message from the Health RangerBy Mike Adams, October 2 2011
(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.

 Texas city puts an end to water fluoridationBy Ethan A. Huff, October 1 2011
(NaturalNews) A city of roughly 100,000 people and home of Texas A&M University, College Station, Tex., is definitely no backwoods town. In fact, Money magazine named the city, which is located in a metropolitan area populated with more than 200,000 people, the 11th most educated city in the US. And now that city officials have decided to axe fluoride from the water supply, people everywhere are taking notice.
One by one they are falling like dominoes -- the cities across America that have decided...
FBI intercepts its own terrorist plot against US Capitol, PentagonBy Ethan A. Huff, October 1 2011
(NaturalNews) Truth be told, the biggest terrorist threat that Americans currently face does not originate from al-Qaeda. In a shocking revelation that essentially confirms the US government's involvement in funding, promoting, and even initiating terrorism, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was recently exposed for intercepting what can only be considered its own terrorist plot to send drone bombs into the US Capitol and the Pentagon.

 US to break record number of solar panel installations in 2011By Jonathan Benson, October 1 2011
(NaturalNews) Solar technology has made tremendous advances in recent years, which has in turn prompted significant growth in commercial and residential photovoltaic (PV) panel installations. And for the first time in history, the US solar panel market will exceed one gigawatt (GW) in new PV energy production during a single year, according to recent report by Greentech Media.
In 2010, the US reached 887 megawatts (MW) in new PV panel installations. But that rate is expected to more than double...
 States begin cracking down on drug companies buying prescription history recordsBy PF Louis, October 1 2011
(NaturalNews) Big Pharma uses prescription drug purchase records from pharmacies for marketing. Not to track sales, but to locate doctors who need visits from pharmaceutical sales reps. Vermont passed a law restricting Big Pharma's reach into doctors offices by banning the use of pharmacy prescription records for marketing. But Big Pharma recently challenged the State of Vermont's statute in the Supreme Court. Pharma won. Vermont's law was declared unconstitutional.

 Natural hormone rejuvenation for modern women and menBy Angelo Druda, October 1 2011
(NaturalNews) Hormone replacement therapy was introduced to modern society in the sixties with a powerful marketing campaign promising women, health, happiness and long life if they consented to take synthetic hormones on a regular basis. The ensuing research, however, continues to show problems with this apparent panacea.
In this modern era, the aging process is understood to be a condition of hormonal deficiency. Allopathic medicine therefore, treats the aging process for the most part with...

Over the years, numerous studies linking high fruit and vegetable consumption to a decreased risk of stroke and other cardiovascular incidents have been conducted. The contribution of the Dutch study is that now, for the first time, we have established a positive...
 Powdered mushrooms build immunityBy S. D. Wells, October 1 2011
(NaturalNews) Western medicine cannot make money if you don't get sick and visit doctors regularly. So why would a doctor tell you what organic food to buy? For many Americans, if you mention taking medicinal mushrooms, they look at you like you're some kind of witch doctor, or a traveling medicine man with a covered wagon carrying little vials full of potions and concoctions.
America loves immediate gratification, and if something's wrong with someone's health, they jump to buy a "quick fix"...
 The root cause of crime (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, September 16 2011
(NaturalNews) Violence in modern societies is increasingly associated with property crimes as individuals are willing to resort to whatever means necessary to secure desired goods.
A kid steals a candy bar because he wants to enjoy the taste; a young man breaks into a house to steal a new stereo because he wants to enjoy listening to the latest tunes; a drug addict sticks up a grocery store, shooting the owner, in order to get the money he needs to get "high"; a bank executive embezzles a million...
 Warning for athletes: Some dietary supplements may contain trace amounts of banned substancesBy Raw Michelle, September 25 2011
(NaturalNews) Athletes should be cautious about the dietary supplements they take, as these may contain small amounts of banned substances, according to a recent study conducted by Loughborough University Professor of Sport and Exercise Nutrition, Ron Maughan.
Having repeatedly warned about the possibility of a link between failed doping tests and sports supplements, Dr. Maughan believes that these commercially available substances can turn honest athletes into unknowing cheats. "It is now well...

 The most moronic TV news journalist ever? Gold is "backed by nothing" while dollars are backed by government!By Mike Adams, September 30 2011
(NaturalNews) When it comes to money and gold, some mainstream journalists have such low IQs that it's a wonder they can string words together at all. Here's the latest example of truly idiotic journalism in a precious video that's now being called the most moronic piece of mainstream TV journalism ever aired. It comes to us courtesy of CTV in Canada, which is actually Canada's top-rated news network in terms of total viewers:

(NaturalNews) Disease outbreaks associated with the US food supply have become an all-too-common occurrence these days, with at least six major outbreaks having been reported just this year alone. And with the most recent listeria outbreak affecting Colorado-sourced cantaloupes, where at least 13 people have died and 70 others have been sickened thus far, officials and the media are once again working the public into a frenzy about food safety.
On September 14, 2011, Holly, Co.-based Jensen Farms...
 Rick Perry's presidential campaign imploding in wake of Gardasil scandalBy Jonathan Benson, September 30 2011
(NaturalNews) Many media pundits have been working overtime to defend Texas Gov. Rick Perry's detestable 2007 executive order mandating the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil for all young girls in the Lone Star State. Far from saving his campaign, however, such desperate efforts to spin one of the most disturbing political scandals in recent history will more than likely quicken the complete debacle of Mr. Perry's presidential campaign.
After Mr. Perry exposed himself as a blatant liar...
