The Medical Monopoly: It's not about who's right or wrong but who's in chargeBy Dr. Carolyn Dean, April 21 2011
(NaturalNews) The general public doesn't realize there is an ongoing war for the control of our bodies. Allopathic medicine and the pharmaceutical industry demand a monopoly on treating disease and will stop at nothing to achieve that end.
I know this to be true because I've been portrayed a so-called victim of their schemes. My story comes up periodically as the "haters" of natural medicine or the hired quackbusters try to discredit anyone involved with natural medicine. I don't consider myself...
 Natural progesterone helps reduce premature births by half, study findsBy Ethan A. Huff, April 29 2011
(NaturalNews) A new study published in the journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology has found that natural progesterone cream given to certain groups of pregnant women effectively reduced premature birth rates by 50 percent. Pregnant women with a condition known as short cervix are believed to be lacking in progesterone, an essential hormone necessary for the development of healthy babies. So by supplementing with progesterone gel, such women can help ensure a healthy pregnancy.

 TSA passenger screener caught distributing child porn imagesBy J. D. Heyes, April 24 2011
(NaturalNews) A Transportation Security Administration screener at Philadelphia International Airport was arrested last week on charges of distributing child pornography, adding another black eye to an agency already despised for the way its agents conduct passenger searches.
According to reports, Thomas Gordon Jr., 46, an agent who regularly screens - as in, pats down - airline passengers, was arrested by federal agents who were acting on a tip from the Delaware County district attorney.

 Scientists create new 'organic' solar cells using thin layer of goldBy Jonathan Benson, April 29 2011
(NaturalNews) Recent breakthroughs in solar technology have potentially opened up the door to an inexpensive, widely available organic cell technology that uses gold instead of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), which has long been used to coat the glass surfaces of solar electrodes. Researchers from the University of Warwick (UW) in the UK successfully figured out a way to deposit an ultra-thin layer of gold -- with a thickness of only eight-billionths of a meter -- into sheets of solar cell glass.

Help reduce your risk of breast cancer with vitamin DBy Jonathan Benson, April 29 2011
(NaturalNews) New research out of the Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) in Washington, DC, has found yet another link between high vitamin D intake and a reduced risk of breast cancer. Presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the findings reveal that high doses of vitamin D are linked to a 50 percent reduction in tumor cases, and a 75 percent reduction in overall cancer growth among those who already have the disease.
For several years now, researchers have observed...
 Article updated with new message from the Health RangerBy Mike Adams, April 28 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.

 CDC vaccine scientist who downplayed links to autism indicted by DOJ in alleged fraud schemeBy Mike Adams, April 28 2011
(NaturalNews) CDC researcher Poul Thorsen, who famously headed up the "Denmark Study" that many claim disproved any link between autism and vaccines, has been indicted in Atlanta by a federal grand jury on charges of wire fraud, money laundering and defrauding research institutions of grant money.
Poul Thorson is a scientist who formerly worked for the CDC, and over the last several years, he oversaw millions of dollars in grant money that was used to conduct research to "prove" that vaccines...
 Study suggests common painkillers inhibit effectiveness of antidepressants, but do antidepressants work at all?By Ethan A. Huff, April 28 2011
(NaturalNews) A new report put forth by researchers from The Rockefeller University (RU) in New York City suggests that combining selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Prozac and Zoloft, with popular over-the-counter painkillers like aspirin and ibuprofen, can effectively weaken or negate the alleged benefits of SSRIs on patients. However, based on numerous studies involving antidepressants, there really is no solid evidence that SSRIs do anything at all for many patients other than...
 Dieters easily misled by food labelsBy Kaye Stringer, April 28 2011
(NaturalNews) A recent study examining the names and descriptions of foods reinforces the growing body of evidence that health claims can cause confusion among consumers. The study found that dieters tend to focus on certain words or product names more than a food's actual ingredients. For example, dieters are more likely to choose a product that is described as "salad" rather than one described as "pasta," even if the ingredients are exactly the same.
Researchers at the University of South Carolina...
 Medically ignorant school officials traumatize young boyBy Jonathan Benson, April 28 2011
(NaturalNews) A young "special needs" boy from Queens, NY, recently bore the wrath of public school officials when he began acting up over a mismatched color on an Easter egg he was painting during class. Young Joseph Anderson asked for his mother, Jessica, after becoming visibly upset, and school officials proceeded to call her. But reports say that before Jessica was able to arrive at the school to pick up her son, officials had already called the police, who came and handcuffed Joseph, loaded...
 Healthier lifestyles are a solution to rising health care costsBy J. D. Heyes, April 28 2011
(NaturalNews) Health care is expensive. Costs continue to mount despite recent efforts at health care "reform."
Sally C. Pipes, the president, CEO and Taube Fellow in Health Care Studies at the Pacific Research Institute, argues in Forbes Magazine this week that the best way to lower costs is through expensive "medical innovation" (technology). Pipes claims that innovation alone will "minimize doctor visits, specialist referrals, round-the-clock care, trial-and-error surgeries" and other procedures...
Common blood pressure drug increases risk of breast cancer recurrenceBy Sherry Baker, April 28 2011
(NewsTarget) (NaturalNews) The human body doesn't exist in separate, unconnected parts. Simply put, if you take a drug directed at one particular organ or problem, it doesn't mean that medication will only zero in on one symptom or function. It may impact other processes, cells and organs or even the immune system.
A case in point: new research reveals a disturbing connection between widely prescribed ACE inhibitors (commonly used to control high blood pressure and heart failure in women) and...
 Panic selling of the U.S. dollar now underway as debt system implodesBy J. D. Heyes, April 28 2011
(NaturalNews.com) To most Americans it's unthinkable that the U.S. dollar could someday be relegated to second-class status as a currency, but what they may not realize is that the transition is already underway.
Reports this week marked the dollar's continued slide - it reached a 16-month low against the euro and slid to a historic low against the Swiss franc on Tuesday - while at the same time predicting something we've been telling you for years now, namely that the dollar is on its way out...
 Neutralize the law of agingBy Angelo Druda, April 28 2011
(NaturalNews) According to Chinese Medicine, the law of aging is expressed as "The yang consumes the yin". In other words, over time the fire of ongoing life activity consumes the deeper moist yin essences of the body resulting in an acceleration of the aging process.
One of the golden rules of rejuvenation is to not let the yin essence levels get too low. A stress filled life with carbon based industrial toxicity and radioactivity increases the rate of yin depletion. At a certain point serious...
 Is compassion truly lost? (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, April 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Due to consumer demand for inexpensive meat, eggs, and dairy, suppliers are in constant competition to market their products at the lowest prices possible, no matter how the animals are treated.
The farmed animals that suffer are hidden from view and easy to ignore. But millions of people have discovered the reality of factory farming and have decided that it's too cruel to support.
Opposing the cruelties of factory farming is not an all-or-nothing proposition. From eating more...
 Armed agents invade Maxam Nutraceutics and steal natural health products in shocking FDA raidBy Ethan A. Huff, April 27 2011
(NaturalNews) Amidst all the destructive activities taking place in our world today that deserve attention, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has decided instead to make it a personal mission to destroy the businesses and livelihoods of those trying to help people through natural medicine.
On Thursday, April 14, 2011, dozens of agents from the FDA, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an unprovoked, full-scale raid on Hood River...
Betrayal of a Nation: Why U.S. health authorities are keeping you vitamin D deficient and who stands to gainBy John Cannell MD, April 23 2011
(NaturalNews) Dr. Anne Looker and colleagues at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently made vitamin D legend, Professor Hector DeLuca of University of Wisconsin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector_DeLuca), and certain folks at big pharma very happy with her widely-reported analysis of the vitamin D status of Americans. Using definitions of deficiency straight from the November 2010 Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) Vitamin D Report - definitions that no vitamin D scientist I know agrees with...
 GMO pesticides linked to birth defects, disruption of male hormones, cancerBy Ethan A. Huff, April 27 2011
(NaturalNews) Numerous studies in recent months have tied agricultural pesticides to reproductive and other serious health problems (http://www.naturalnews.com/pesticides.html). And a new study out of Argentina adds even more evidence to the fact that such chemicals are a widespread public health pandemic.
Andres Carrasco, head of the molecular Embryology Lab at the University of Buenos Aires, recently presented a report explaining that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide...
 US spent $307 billion on prescription drugs in 2010By Kaye Stringer, April 27 2011
(NaturalNews) Americans spent $307.4 billion on prescription drugs in 2010, according to a recent report from consulting firm IMS Health. Although this figure is a 2.3 percent reduction from last year, it's still a huge portion of the U.S. economy to be spending on prescription medications, many of which are ineffective at best and extremely dangerous at worst.
According to Reuters, the decline in spending was due in part to greater use of generic medications and few new therapies introduced in...
Cancer causing hormones? Hormone doctor takes on NBC and New York TimesBy Mike Bundrant, April 27 2011
(NaturalNews) Ladies, there is another study that says hormones cause cancer. Oh, by the way, all you women out there taking these natural hormones - there is no difference. There are no studies out there to show that there is any difference. You shouldn't take any of those because they are all the same and they all cause cancer. Dr. Nancy Snyderman, NBC's chief medical editor is fond of generalizing about hormones on the air. According to Neal Rouzier, MD of Palm Springs, she doesn't understand...
 Botched surgery: Doctors operate on wrong eye of five-year-old boyBy Jonathan Benson, April 27 2011
(NaturalNews) Before admitting your child or other loved one into the hospital for their next surgery, you may want to double check that the surgeon and staff know the difference between left and right. A recent report from KATU in Portland, Ore., says that when five-year-old Jesse Matlock was admitted to the Legacy Emanuel Medical Center (LEMC) for an eye surgery, his surgeon, Dr. Shawn Goodman, accidentally operated on his left eye, which was perfectly fine, rather than his right eye, which was...
Mystery disease harms penguinsBy Jonathan Benson, April 27 2011
(NaturalNews) The string of strange phenomena involving animal injuries and deaths has once again gotten longer, as new reports emerge about a new mystery disease afflicting Atlantic penguins. According to researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), "feather-loss disorder" causes penguins to lose their feathers and become "naked." Many of these same birds also end up displaying erratic behavior, which includes inadvertently baking themselves to death in direct sunlight while the healthy...
 Court files prove Maryanne Godboldo had full legal authority to stop administering dangerous drugs to daughter; CPS raid nothing but illegal kidnappingBy Ethan A. Huff, April 26 2011
(NaturalNews) New developments in the case of Maryanne Godboldo -- the Detroit, Mich., woman whose house was recently raided by a SWAT team with a tank, and whose daughter was subsequently kidnapped by these armed terrorists -- are set to hopefully clear the mother of any wrongdoing in the matter (http://www.naturalnews.com/032090_Maryanne_Godboldo_health_freedom.html).
Recently-released court documents prove that the consent form Maryanne signed agreeing to give her daughter the highly-dangerous...
 Lawsuit against FDA a success! Court rules censorship of two specific health claims unconstitutionalBy Ethan A. Huff, April 26 2011
(NaturalNews) A considerable legal victory has been achieved for the natural health community in defending freedom of health speech. A recent lawsuit filed by the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) and several other plaintiffs against the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has successfully stopped the FDA from censoring the truth about the health benefits of both vitamin C and vitamin E. The case sets an important precedent for freedom of health speech as the court ruled that censorship of qualified...
 Supreme Court denies request to fast-track VA lawsuit against ObamacareBy Jonathan Benson, April 26 2011
(NaturalNews) A petition made by officials in Virginia to expedite a lawsuit against the Obama health care overhaul has been ordered to run its normal course through the courts, according to recent reports. USA Today explains that rather than be heard now by the judges, the case will instead be handed off to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., which is its next stop on the way to the Supreme Court.
Filed just after Obama's "Affordable Care Act" was signed into law on March 23...
 Patients who enter hospitals are at high risk of potentially deadly infections or medical mistakesBy Kaye Stringer, April 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Americans may be putting their lives at risk every time they are admitted into a hospital. Hospitals are responsible for protecting and restoring our health, but they have instances of professional negligence and fatal errors.
The April 2011 issue of Health Affairs tackled the theme of the quality of care in American hospitals - with some alarming studies and statistics. Healthcare-associated infections and medical mistakes - including drug-related errors and preventable surgical...
Detroit mother's heroism sends message to all parents: Say "no" to child druggingBy Monica G. Young, April 26 2011
(NaturalNews) The story of the Detroit mother, Maryanne Godboldo, undergoing a police siege on her home after refusing to give her daughter a psychotropic drug has set off a national outcry. Many facts not only vindicate her defiance but point the finger squarely at the correct villains: the psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries.
As a recap, on March 24 a Children's Protective Services (CPS) case worker petitioned to remove Maryanne Godboldo's 13-year-old daughter from her care and place her...
Navy revises vaccine exemption policy and regs by attorney request - twice!By Alan Phillips, J.D., April 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Lawmakers can and sometimes do enact laws that are unconstitutional. They can do this for the simple reason that a law isn't technically unconstitutional until a court says it is. This makes sense, since anyone can cry "unconstitutional" at any time about anything. Unfortunately, though, this means that laws can be enacted that are unconstitutional, whether intentionally or not by those enacting them. Such a situation occurred with the design of some Navy regulations concerning vaccine...
 Shark die-off now striking San Francisco BayBy Annie Austen, April 26 2011
(NaturalNews) Dead leopard sharks have washed up on the shores of the San Francisco Bay and experts are now pointing to toxic waters as a possible cause. According to the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation, a non-profit organization run by volunteers, this is an issue that seems to be growing worse with time.
While previous incidents of dead leopard sharks in 2006 and 2007 were related to oil spills, this new wave of carcasses could point to long-term, damaging environmental factors. Brandy Faulkner...
 McDonald's dominates new job creation in AmericaBy J. D. Heyes, April 26 2011
(NaturalNews.com) - If you're one of the 13 million or so Americans out of work, chances are you're looking a job - any job. Even a job at McDonalds.
McDonalds held a National Hiring Day on Tuesday; with company officials saying they hoped to hire 50,000 new employees to fill positions at the company's 14,000 franchises around the country.
And while some may hail the event as a giant step forward in lowering the nation's 8.8 percent jobless rate, there is this: It is also another blow to the...
