Scientists clone genetically-modified dog that 'glows' when given antibiotic

By Jonathan Benson, July 29 2011
(NaturalNews) Mad science continues with the recent announcement that South Korean scientists at Seoul National University (SNU) have successfully cloned a genetically-engineered (GE) dog that they say glows "fluorescent green" under ultraviolet light when fed an antibiotic known as doxycycline. And just why did scientists feel the need to spend the equivalent of roughly $3 million on this gene-tampering experiment? To allegedly find cures for human diseases, of course, which is the only explanation...

UK government to save DNA profiles of innocent people, civil liberties groups speak out

By Jonathan Benson, July 29 2011
(NaturalNews) If you are arrested in the UK on suspicion that you may have committed a crime but are later proven innocent, your DNA profile will still remain within government databases, according to a new report in The Daily Telegraph. After previously promising that it would destroy all DNA profiles of innocent civilians, except when charges involve violence or sex crimes, the UK government has now decided that it will keep such profiles after all, but do so "anonymously." DNA profiles are...

NPR poll: Majority of Americans prefer organics, most want produce from either farmers markets or home gardens rather than supermarkets

By Ethan A. Huff, July 29 2011
(NaturalNews) When it comes down to pure consumer preference, the majority of Americans prefer organic food over conventional food, according to the results of a new poll released by NPR. Most Americans also prefer to obtain produce from either a farmers market or from a home garden rather than from a supermarket, which represents an important shift in public awareness concerning food. NPR conducted its poll via telephone, asking more than 3,000 adults various questions about their organic and...

GMOs killing off Monarch butterflies, report finds

By Ethan A. Huff, July 29 2011
(NaturalNews) You have likely seen them dancing through the air and gracing the petals and leaves of various plants and shrubs. But a new study published in the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity says that the popular Monarch butterfly, which is an absolute necessity for farmers, is on the decline. And the cause? Genetically-modified (GM) crops like corn, soy, and cotton, which today blanket millions of acres of American cropland. Though not necessarily in the same vein as bees and bats...

Three questions that will reset your moral compass and reveal your self-improvement needs

By Mike Bundrant, July 29 2011
(NaturalNews) There is no shortage of organizations and people in this world that will tell you how you should be living your life. It's easy enough to follow someone else's moral compass if you are so inclined. The most ethical teachers throughout history, however, have instructed us to learn to trust our own inner compass, that internal "sense" of what is right and wrong, or the most appropriate course of action in every situation. Your inner moral compass is by far the most sophisticated and...

Visiting a hospital far riskier than flying in an airplane

By J. D. Heyes, July 29 2011
(NaturalNews) They say that flying is the safest way to travel, but who would have thought that it is even safer than visiting a hospital? Yes it is, according to the World Health Organization, which recently appointed a "health czar" to inform doctors and hospitals to take such earth-shattering measures as washing their hands. The WHO named Liam Donaldson, Great Britain's former chief medical officer, to combat what the global health watchdog claims is a growing problem around the world -...

Keeping your colon clean

By Jane Goldberg, July 29 2011
(NaturalNews) It is unfortunate that American doctors have contended for decades that the number of bowel movements an individual has is unrelated to health. They have convinced most of us that they are correct. Most people think that they are not constipated if they are having one bowel movement a day. Yet, we eat three meals a day. Where are the other two meals going if they're not being eliminated through the colon? The answer actually is somewhat frightening. The rest of the food that is not...

So I put together a short list that covers all the most toxic and disease-promoting ingredients in the food supply. These are the substances causing cancer, diabetes, heart disease and leading to tens of billions of dollars in unnecessary health care costs across America (and around the world). If you want to stay healthy and out of the hospital...

Widely used CAD mammography tool fails to find invasive breast cancer, causes needless tests and stress

By S. L. Baker, July 27 2011
(NaturalNews) Computer-aided detection (CAD) technology, which analyzes mammography images and marks suspicious areas for radiologists to review, has been widely hyped and pushed on women as a way to insure invasive breast cancer is spotted on mammograms. And it has grown into a huge industry, adding millions of dollars to the cost of healthcare. The problem is, CAD simply doesn't work -- at all. That's right. Despite the fact CAD is now applied to the large majority of screening mammograms in...

Theft is on the rise in a worsening economy

By Christina Luisa, July 27 2011
(NaturalNews) It is not strange to hear about cars, jewelry or money being stolen. These days, desperate thieves are choosing bizarre targets: copper wires, air conditioning units, storm drain covers, grapes, ambulances, pain killers and even bees. This petty thievery of agricultural goods and odd supplies is the new norm in a rapidly worsening economy where unemployment is rampant. The downturn in the economy and record unemployment numbers have created a heightened sense of desperation, which...

The Unthinkable Financial Ruin of America

By Mark Sircus., AC, OMD, July 27 2011
(NaturalNews) People and governments around the world are fast running out of money. This is common news today, the inability to meet payments and the building up of debt. Though many individuals, corporations, towns, cities, states and sovereign governments are in this situation no one has gotten into deeper hock than the United States Government. They have been able to borrow and spend without limit but now they have hit a wall. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says it's "unthinkable" that...

Hospital files $9.2 million claim against estate of patient who died after five-year stay

By Jonathan Benson, July 27 2011
(NaturalNews) In what is perhaps the largest hospital bill case in history, Tampa General Hospital in Florida has reportedly filed a $9.2 million claim against the estate of Tameka Jaqway, a former inpatient at the hospital who spent five years there before eventually dying. Apparently the hospital never billed Tameka or her mother Holly Bennett for any portion of the girl's stay until after she died, when it proceeded to file a massive claim against her estate. "That would have to be the biggest...

Monsanto Nation: Taking Down Goliath

By Ronnie Cummins, July 27 2011

By J. D. Heyes, July 27 2011

Consolidation of seed companies leading to corporate domination of world food supply

By Ethan A. Huff, July 27 2011
(NaturalNews) Throughout the history of agriculture across the globe, farming has always been a diversified sector of the economy. Small, self-sustaining, family farms were the order of the day in most cultures. Even as small farms grew larger and more specialized over time, many of them still saved seeds or purchased them from other farmers, which kept control of farming in the hands of the people. But today everything has changed, as large chemical and agribusiness firms have acquired or merged...

By S. L. Baker, July 27 2011
(NaturalNews) If you've ever had a relative fade away from you and lose the ability to remember names, faces, events and even how to get dressed or hold a cup of coffee, you know the heartbreaking horror of the disease known as Alzheimer's (AD). And let's face it, the prospect of one day having AD is downright terrifying.

By J. D. Heyes, July 27 2011

By Jonathan Benson, July 27 2011
(NaturalNews) In an apparent "change or die" strategy of business, the McDonald's fast food company will soon alter the contents of its childrens "Happy Meals" to meet growing demand for healthier food. To make the meals healthier and more appealing to health-conscious customers, the company is planning to cut the amount of fries included from 2.4 ounces to 1.1 ounces, and instead replace them with a few apple slices.

By Jonathan Benson, July 27 2011

Japan's never ending nuclear nightmare

By Mark Sircus., AC, OMD, July 27 2011
(NaturalNews) Lauren Moret told us that, "On the night of June 14, a nuclear incident occurred in the Reactor 3 building in the spent fuel pool when huge bursts of gamma ray fluorescence lit up the night sky and turned the reactor building as bright as the sun, indicating the spent fuel rods and melted uranium and plutonium were boiling off, vaporized along with the rest of the fission products." We do not hear much about the nuclear disaster in Japan anymore so one really has to search for the...

Miracle-Gro to sell special nutrient formulations for growing marijuana

By J. D. Heyes, July 27 2011
(NaturalNews) Once known primarily for its weed-killing formulas, now Miracle-Gro wants to try its hand at growing killer weed.

"I want to target the pot market. There's no good reason we haven't," he told The Wall Street Journal last month. Besides the fact that marijuana consumption is...

No longer deniable: Under runaway debt burden, America's currency is headed for total collapse

By Mike Adams, July 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner recently told FOX News, "We write 80 million checks a month. There are millions and millions of Americans that depend on those checks coming on time."

In a nation that once began with the idea that government should stay out of the way and leave people alone to create their own abundance through...

Spontaneous social media revolution erupts, thousands say 'f*&% you' to Washington

By Jonathan Benson, July 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Users of the popular social media site Twitter know that "trending" topics, or popular topics that are being "tweeted" about often on the site, are typically accompanied by "hash tags" that help better categorize and popularize them. Tweets about natural health, for instance, may contain "#naturalhealth" in their descriptors, in order to help popularize the topic. And over the weekend, an outpouring of tweets against politicians in Washington, DC, erupted, which caused the hash tag...

America conned: Psycho pharma drug pushing empire under fire

By Monica G. Young, July 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Is America truly stricken with widespread mental illness? Do tens of millions need mind-altering drugs?

She analyzes three...

Study pushes dangerous drug as urinary infection cure, but cranberries work better

By S. L. Baker, July 26 2011

Psychiatric disease labeling of children exposed as scam by non-profit group

By Bella Muse, July 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Child drugging has been a huge profitable market for Big Pharma, earning them $4.8 billion dollars a year. They have done everything in their power to convince the press, legislators and especially parents why children need to be put on drugs. They claim that ADD/ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, etc., are medical conditions, and consider them on par with cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. But in reality there is no actual evidence that proves that psychiatric disorders are indeed...

Internet takeover: New legislation would allow state to arbitrarily shut down, seize websites

By Ethan A. Huff, July 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Freedom of speech is under attack once again as the bloated US federal government continues its quest to destroy the last bastion of free and open communication -- the internet. Sen. Patrick Leahy's (D-Vt.) "Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property" bill, also known as the Protect IP Act, is more oppressive and restrictive to free speech than even communist China's internet censorship protocols, and a group of law professors recently...
