Raw Food Diet Offers Considerable Benefits By Sheryl Walters, May 10 2009
(NewsTarget) A raw food diet is a healthy and nutritious natural way of eating. Followers of raw food diets finally have some support as to the health benefits, as mainstream studies have recently shown some considerable benefits associated with following a raw food diet.
Typically followers of a raw food diet consume at least 75% of their diet as uncooked and otherwise unprocessed plant based foods including but not limited to fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Nothing...
Naw, Oprah, Please Tell Me You Didn't Recommend KFCBy Mike Adams, May 8 2009
(NaturalNews) After Oprah publicized a giveaway of KFC chicken dinners to anyone who could download a coupon from the 'net. KFC stores across the nation were inundated with customers lining up for free chicken, to the point where some restaurants either closed their doors or declined to honor the Oprah-endorsed coupons. KFC restaurants are now being described as "under siege" by coupon-gripping Oprah followers who want their free chicken, two sides and a biscuit.
The problem with the promotion...
Traveling with Swine Flu - A Real-Time Health Ranger Report from Quito, EcuadorBy Mike Adams, May 7 2009
(NaturalNews) I'm writing you from a quaint, colorful hotel in Quito, Ecuador, where I arrived today. Venturing through airports in the midst of an influenza outbreak was quite interesting, and I thought I'd pass along the experience to NaturalNews readers so that you know what's happening right now in the airports (and with international air travel).
On the U.S. side, swine flu doesn't seem to have many people worried in the air travel business. None of the Continental Airlines staff I saw were...
Stress Testing the MOTHERS ActBy Mike Adams, May 7 2009
(NaturalNews) The Mothers Act is due to be voted on soon by the U.S. Senate. This is the Big Pharma-advocated law that would require the mandatory screening of all expectant mothers for depression -- with the intent of drugging them if symptoms are present.
Investigative journalist Kelly Patricia O'Meara has authored an important op-ed piece on the dangers of the Mothers Act, and I'm publishing it here, with her permission, to share this with NaturalNews readers.
Those wanting to stay up to...
Folic Acid May Prevent and Treat Allergies, AsthmaBy Sherry Baker, May 7 2009
(NewsTarget) Vitamin B9, usually called folic acid, has long been known to reduce the risk of spinal birth defects. It is also necessary for healthy red blood cells. Now, in what is believed to be the first study of its kind in humans, scientists at Johns Hopkins Children's Center have found it may also be an effective way to suppress allergic reactions. The vitamin appears to lessen the severity of asthma symptoms, too. The findings were just published in the online edition of the Journal of Allergy...
FDA Floats Hydroxycut Scare to Discredit Yet Another Supplement CompanyBy Mike Adams, May 7 2009
(NaturalNews) After tens of millions of doses of Hydroxycut were taken by consumers, one person died. This, along with reports of a few dozen liver-related side effects, caused the FDA to push for an industry-wide recall of virtually all Hydroxycut products. The thinking behind the warning? The risk of side effects is very low, but the FDA doesn't believe consumers should be exposed to such risks.
Not from a dietary supplement, anyway. When it's from a vaccine or a pharmaceutical, such risks are...
New Studies Reveal the Medicinal Benefits of HoneyBy Sheryl Walters, May 7 2009
(NewsTarget) For centuries honey had been known as nature's medicine. Both the Greeks and Egyptians used honey as one of their main healing tools, with the famous Greek thinker Aristotle saying that pale honey was "good as a salve for sore eyes and wounds". But despite its long history within the healing community honey is now seen as something of a fad, another money making scam from the natural health industry that actually has no medical benefits at all. But there are new studies being conducted...

Sexual Functioning in Men can be Fully Restored NaturallyBy Barbara L. Minton, May 7 2009
(NewsTarget) Men who have taken the time to get their hormone levels in balance never have to consider popping a Viagra. Even men who still produce plenty of testosterone can find themselves in need of hormone balancing when things start to go wrong in the bedroom. This is because processes are at work that prevent testosterone from doing the job it was meant to do. When these processes are corrected, most men can again perform as they did in their primes.
Conversion of testosterone to estrogen...
Natural Products Association Issues Disinfo Announcement over Dietary Supplements and Swine Flu (opinion)By Mike Adams, May 6 2009
(NaturalNews) The natural products industry leaders are engaged in a clever "disinfo" campaign to brainwash people into thinking that herbs and nutritional products are useless for defending against swine flu. Today, the Natural Products Association (NPA), Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) and the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) took part in issuing a joint warning against any "natural" remedies that are being promoted as ways to prevent or treat H1N1 influenza.
Their joint statement...
Business Opportunity: Demand for Purple Corn May Soon ExplodeBy Barbara L. Minton, May 6 2009

The health benefits of purple corn are pervasive, and it has a normalizing effect on many systems of the body. Purple corn has even been shown able to shrink cancerous tumors. As the healing value of purple corn becomes apparent, researchers have jumped in to document its many benefits, and supplement companies...

In fact, at least for men, drinking a small amount of wine may boost life expectancy by five years.
Dutch researchers at Wageningen University...

Shattered Illusions: Ten Things about the Natural World You Thought You Knew (But Didn't)By Mike Adams, May 4 2009

It's a healthy exercise to have your false beliefs challenged by reality, so today I'm doing my best to shatter ten false beliefs most people hold about the natural world -- food, animals, nature and so on.
Read the list below and see how many you used to believe.

Study Predicts Huge Increase in Cancer AheadBy Sherry Baker, May 4 2009
(NewsTarget) Just when we're all saturated with alarming news about a pending flu epidemic, new research from the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center concludes a virtual epidemic of an even more dreaded disease -- cancer -- is headed our way. In fact, the scientists say over the next two decades, the number of new cancer cases diagnosed each year in the U.S. will increase by 45 percent. This dramatic spike in incidence is expected to especially hit the growing older Baby Boomers and...
A Good Night Sleep may be the Best Protection against a PandemicBy Barbara L. Minton, May 4 2009
(NewsTarget) Going to bed may be one of the best ways of protecting yourself from viruses and other diseases. Although the traditional recommendation for sleep is 8 hours a night, the average American sleeps only about 6 1/2 hours. The highly motivated have figured out ways to get by on 4 hours of sleep, and they even brag about it. Only about one in four Americans gets the full 8 hours. Yet research shows that sleep is an important predictor of reduced immunity and susceptibility to disease. Humans...
