Health News Update: FDA Gives Thumbs Up to Unapproved Morphine Drug While Hospitals Dump Mental Patients on the StreetsBy Mike Adams, April 11 2009
(NaturalNews) So much for "evidence-based medicine." The FDA has publicly announced that makers of liquid morphine drugs can continue selling them even though such drugs have never been approved by the FDA. Thus, the FDA -- which claims to be protecting the American public from dangerous pharmaceuticals by engaging in rigorous scientific review of potential new drugs -- is really in the business of arbitrarily declaring some drugs to be perfectly safe even without any testing or clinical trial data...
Drinking Water Could Curb ObesityBy Sherry Baker, April 11 2009
(NewsTarget) It's not just American adults who are faced with an epidemic of obesity. Children and adolescents are becoming overweight at an alarming rate.

But now a study just published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine concludes there's a simple and effective way to reduce the excess intake of calories...
Women in Unhappy Marriages Hit by Physical Health ProblemsBy Reuben Chow, April 11 2009

Osteoporosis Drugs Linked to Heart Rhythm ProblemsBy Sherry Baker, April 10 2009
(NewsTarget) The television commercials for the anti-osteoporosis drug Boniva feature remarkably youthful, happy and healthy looking actress Sally Field extolling the wonderful ease of popping a pill once a month to prevent and even reverse bone loss. But for countless women taking this or other drugs in the class of medications known as bisphosphonates, their experiences could turn out to be anything but better health.
Already the drugs have been linked to a host of side effects including debilitating...
Exercise Lowers Breast Cancer Risk By Sheryl Walters, April 10 2009
(NewsTarget) Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women and accounts for around 40,000 deaths per year. Breast cancer risk is determined by multiple factors including age, race, gender, and family history. Besides these factors that are uncontrollable, there are also risk factors that can be controlled or changed. These include alcohol use, smoking, diet, weight and exercise. Exercise has been the focus of many recent studies to determine how much it affects risk of breast cancer.

Can Government Scientists Save the Planet by Nuking Yellowstone National Park to Halt Global Warming?By Mike Adams, April 8 2009
(NaturalNews) Of all the hare-brained ideas about climate change I've heard in the last few years, this one takes the grand prize: John Holdren, the new science advisor to President Obama, is actively considering radical geoengineering ideas in order to halt global warming. One such idea now being discussed with the Obama administration involves -- get this -- launching enormous amounts of pollution particles into Earth's upper atmosphere to block the sun's rays and "chill" the planet.

Natural Strategies Could Slash Colorectal Cancer RateBy Sherry Baker, April 8 2009
(NewsTarget) A British research team headed by Professor Donald Maxwell Parkin of Cancer Research UK Centre for Epidemiology, Mathematics, and Statistics in London reports natural approaches involving a healthy lifestyle could slash the rate of colorectal cancer in Great Britain over the next 24 years. And there's no reason to think the strategies wouldn't prevent the same cancers in other countries, too.
The new research suggests that changes in diet, exercise, alcohol use, and body weight could...
Broccoli Sprouts Fight Cancer-Causing H. PyloriBy Sherry Baker, April 8 2009
(NewsTarget) Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) are a type of bacteria believed to cause the majority of peptic ulcers. Even more importantly, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), there's substantial evidence that strongly links the germs to stomach cancer. In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) classifies H. pylori as a carcinogen that afflicts several billion people across the globe.
Around 20 percent of people 40 and younger are infected with H. pylori and about half of...
Take Ten Steps for a Cancer-Free Life, Part IIBy Barbara L. Minton, April 8 2009
(NewsTarget) Cancer statistics are mind boggling. Although the final numbers are not in yet, the American Cancer Society estimates the U.S. death toll from cancer in 2008 will be 565,650 people. About one third of these deaths are related to excessive weight or obesity, physical inactivity, and nutrition. About 1,437,180 new cancer cases were reported in 2008. The lifetime risk of developing cancer for men in the U.S. is a staggering 1 in 2. For women the statistic is 1 in 3. The country's population...
Our Crazy Health World: Roizen and Oz Recommend Irradiated Food, Psych Docs Push Amphetamine Drugs for Weight LossBy Mike Adams, April 7 2009
(NaturalNews) Psychiatric doctors in Canada are now claiming that psychiatric drugs promote weight loss! Yep, the weight loss gimmick has now been invoked by the psychiatric industry, which is grasping for more ridiculous reasons to put more kids and teenagers on their dangerous prescription medications.
The twisted thinking goes like this: ADHD makes kids eat too much, causing obesity. ADHD is a brain chemistry imbalance, they explain. Therefore, doping kids with mind-altering psych drugs will...

Drug-Induced Fish: Hormone Causes Tilapia to Undergo Sex Change By Barbara L. Minton, April 6 2009
(NewsTarget) Has the fish on you dinner table gone through a drug induced sex change? If the fish is tilapia, the answer is probably yes. Tilapia is a delicious, mild flavored fish that has become very popular because of its low price. This low price is achieved by converting the young females to males through the use of the hormone drug 17alpha-methytestosterone. Raising an all male population allows fish farmers to produce bigger fish in a shorter time period with less feed. It also allows them...
Change to Green CleaningBy Sheryl Walters, April 6 2009
(NewsTarget) "Green" seems to be the environmental buzzword these days. There are green appliances, green cars, green clothes, green makeup, green cleaning products, and everything in between. Concern for the planet is a high priority for a growing amount of people and with good reason. Pollution is destroying our natural resources, our health, and even possibly changing our weather patterns. Indoor pollution is just one type of pollution we are exposed to daily, and is one of the easiest for individuals...

In fact, seven percent of the patients studied had enough recurrent CT testing to raise their estimated cancer risk...

Perchlorate Chemicals Found in 100% of Tested Infant Formula ProductsBy Mike Adams, April 4 2009

Chemicals Used to Disinfect Water Create Dangerous ToxinsBy Sherry Baker, April 4 2009
(NewsTarget) If you swim in a pool or drink water from your public water supply, you know the water has been disinfected by chemicals. But this process, which is often called "purifying" water, appears to not make water "pure" for the body. In fact, a recent study by University of Illinois scientists published in the scientific journal Mutation Research shows the chemicals used to treat water we drink and use in swimming pools causes a reaction with organic materials in the water that creates dangerous...
South African GMO Crop Failure Highlights Dangers of Food Supply DominationBy Barbara L. Minton, April 3 2009
(NewsTarget) Worry is building over the effects of the Food Safety and Modernization Act of 2009, otherwise known as HR 875. This is the bill currently working its way through Congress that would effectively hand over control of America's food supply to such a nefarious giant as Monsanto and its lesser counterparts such as Tyson and Cargill. We have a right to worry, because broad interpretation of this bill reveals its potential to put an end to healthy food in America. Family farms, local growers...
The Myths of Modern Pharmaceutical Medicine Parallel Greek MythologyBy Mike Adams, April 2 2009
(NaturalNews) Every culture invents its own mythology to explain the world around it. What's interesting about this, however, is that no culture believes its mythology is actually "myth". Its people believe commonly-held fabrications to be truthful and accurate. It is only later, after that culture or civilization collapses or moves forward that the mythology is revealed as fiction.
Western civilization is currently steeped in a fascinating form of mythology called "medical science." Like any...
