Postpartum Depression can be Prevented without DrugsBy Sherry Baker, January 20 2009
(NewsTarget) It's not unusual to have some mood swings after giving birth. After all, new mothers are usually sleep deprived for a while and they can be extra tired from the rigors of childbirth, too. But for some women, serious depression occurs. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), postpartum depression affects around 10 to 15% of women a few weeks to a year after they give birth. Symptoms include feeling restless, anxious, sad, having a sense of worthlessness and sometimes worrying...
Allergies Linked to Reduced Cancer RiskBy Reuben Chow, January 20 2009
(NewsTarget) In the instant-solution and quick-fix world that is the present day, allergy reactions are often quelled using chemical drugs in order to bring about a quick end to any physical discomfort which one may be going through. However, recent research published in The Quarterly Review of Biology has strongly suggested that allergies have an important role to play - protection against toxic substances which cause certain types of cancer.

Lyme Disease: A National Health Crisis Now Sweeping across the CountryBy Barbara L. Minton, January 20 2009
(NewsTarget) Lyme disease is one of the most controversial illnesses in the history of medicine and is the fastest growing infectious disease in the U.S. It is quickly sweeping the country and is referred to by some as a medical tsunami. Lyme disease now infects more people a year than HIV/AIDS, and diagnosed cases are increasing at a rate of fifty percent a year. The CDC estimates the actual numbers of those infected each year is at least tenfold of what is documented. Lyme is a disease with devastating...

HRT Drugs Shrink Women's BrainsBy Mike Adams, January 19 2009
(NaturalNews) A new study carried out at Wake Forest University and published in the medical journal Neurology has found that HRT drugs literally shrink women's brains. Subjects who took HRT drugs for an extended period of time showed a loss of 2.37 cubic centimeters in the frontal lobe of the brain.
The frontal lobe is responsible for memory and thinking skills. These study findings may explain why women who use HRT drugs are increasingly being diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's disease...
Consuming Common Food Additive MSG Increases Risk of Weight GainBy Barbara L. Minton, January 19 2009
(NewsTarget) Research has shown that a flavor enhancer found in many popular foods known as monosodium glutamate (MSG) causes weight gain and obesity in lab animals by damaging the appetite regulation center in the area of the brain known as the hypothalamus, causing leptin resistence. Leptin is the hormone that controls how much a person feels like eating. The fullness, gratification and satisfaction that come from having eaten is completely lost when MSG is consumed, leading to an urge to eat that...
 Happiness and Life Satisfaction Lead to Better HealthBy Reuben Chow, January 19 2009
(NewsTarget) People who are happier and more satisfied with their lives might also enjoy better health, said a study led by Mohammad Siahpush, Ph.D., professor of health promotion at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.
"Everything else being equal, if you are happy and satisfied with your life now, you are more likely to be healthy in the future," said Siahpush.
And, very significantly, factors which usually also affect health, such as exercise and cigarette smoking, were already...
How to Quit Smoking NaturallyBy Jo Hartley, January 19 2009

In addition to this, there are many illnesses and diseases that are a direct result of cigarette smoking. This includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, assorted respiratory ailments, angina, peptic ulcers, heartburn, and diarrhea.

Fatty Foods Disrupt Internal Biological ClockBy Sherry Baker, January 19 2009
(NewsTarget) A luxuriously decadent cheesecake, a thick slab of marbled ham and a whipped cream-topped milkshake have something in common that might not be obvious. Sure, they are all loaded with fat. But new research concludes eating these and other high-fat foods can do more than add pounds. They may also seriously disrupt your internal biological "clock" that mimics the 24-hour cycle of the turning of the Earth. The result could be health problems ranging from insomnia and obesity to cancer.

Chrysalis Nutritionist Stephen Heuer Arrested by Federal Marshalls in FDA RaidBy Mike Adams, January 16 2009
(NaturalNews) Both the FTC and FDA are turning up the heat on nutrition-oriented companies and websites, resorting to arrests at gunpoint to enforce "nutritional illiteracy" across America by imprisoning those who accurately describe the health benefits of nutritional products they sell.
It was only days ago that the FTC attacked a church over its dietary supplements. NaturalNews covered the legal battle in a feature article (http://www.naturalnews.com/025303.html) and an exclusive audio interview...
Drugs Prescribed for Alzheimer's Disease Increase Mental Decline and DeathsBy Sherry Baker, January 16 2009
(NewsTarget) When people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD) " act up" and show signs of neuropsychiatric symptoms such as aggression and agitation, they are often given antipsychotic drugs. Now, it turns out, that's a practice that could be deadly. The result of a long-term study , just published online and in the February edition of The Lancet Neurology journal shows there's a large increased risk of severe side effects and death in patients receiving these medications. What's more, they hasten...
Smoking Increases Risk of Premenstrual SyndromeBy Reuben Chow, January 16 2009
(NewsTarget) Are you a smoker who suffers from bad premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms? If your answer is "yes", you may have one more reason to consider throwing the sticks away. A study at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst has found that women aged 27 to 44 years who smoke are two times as likely to get premenstrual syndrome over the following 2 to 4 years, in particular hormonally related symptoms such as backaches, bloating, acne and tenderness of the breasts.

A Simple and Natural Facemask with Vitamin CBy Sheryl Walters, January 16 2009
(NewsTarget) Vitamin C is an extremely common skin care ingredient, since vitamin C is necessary for healthy skin. Vitamin C has been scientifically validated for reducing wrinkles and rejuvenating the skin. Yet many vitamin C products do not work, and may actually cause more harm than good. Camu camu is a S. American fruit that has the highest vitamin C content on the planet, and offers a safe and highly potent way to get this essential vitamin into the skin.
Why is Vitamin C so Important to...

Hormones Part I: Hormonal Balance is the Key to Vibrant Health for WomenBy Barbara L. Minton, January 16 2009
(NewsTarget) Hormones fill us with the music of life. With proper levels of hormones, there is no end to how good life can feel and what can be accomplished. When hormones are abundant and balanced, we have the full backing of Mother Nature. She is on our side, wanting to keep us alive and healthy enough for reproduction. When hormones decline and reproductive ability ceases, we are no longer useful in the scheme of life, and we are taken out just like a quarterback who can no longer perform. In...
 Fast Food = Healthy? "Raw in 10 Minutes" by Bryan Au Reveals Fast, Healthy Raw Foods RecipesBy Mike Adams, January 15 2009
(NaturalNews) At a fun-filled social gathering, I nearly flipped out when a raw foods friend of mine served up a plate of Super Nachos on an oversized platter. It wasn't made of fried corn chips and cheese, however: It was made from 100% raw foods and superfoods loaded with healing phytonutrients.
But that hardly mattered in the moment: The taste was so good, we dug in and devoured the whole platter in about two minutes, then begged for more. "No problem," my friend said. "I can make another batch...
Review: Thyadine from TriMedica Delivers Colloidal Iodine for Your ThyroidBy Mike Adams, January 15 2009
(NaturalNews) Oprah's body weight challenges have brought thyroid function into the minds of many, but few people still understand the importance of iodine for supporting the thyroid and enhancing proper metabolism. Based on the information I've been learning from people like Dr. David Brownstein (www.DrBrownstein.com), I believe that most people are dangerously deficient in iodine and that conventional medicine's recommendation of iodine intake may be off by a factor of ten!
Fortunately, a couple...
Vicks VapoRub May Harm Children: Researchers Recommend Natural Treatments By Sherry Baker, January 15 2009
(NewsTarget) Vicks VapoRub has long been a popular over-the-counter treatment for symptoms of cough and congestion. But now research published in the January issue of CHEST, the peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), concludes the salve may stimulate mucus and airway inflammation -- and, in some cases, dangerously interfere with the ability of infants and toddlers to breathe.
Bruce K. Rubin, MD and his colleagues at Wake Forest University School of Medicine's...
Tips to Improve Your Health by JuicingBy Jo Hartley, January 15 2009
(NewsTarget) When trying to incorporate raw foods into one's diet, juicing is a very effective way to add in large amounts of different raw foods. Many people have a large build-up of mucoid plaque within the intestines because of poor diets. When this happens, the body is severely limited in its ability to absorb necessary nutrients from foods eaten. Juicing will encourage and improve this absorption; and juicing is a very easy way to accomplish this.
Vegetable juicing is preferable over fruit...
Incompetent Bosses Raise Risk of Heart Disease and Related DeathBy Reuben Chow, January 15 2009
(NewsTarget) When someone says that his or her boss 'will be the death of me', her or she could mean it more than just figuratively. According to recent research conducted in Sweden, employees' risk of getting angina, heart attack and even death were higher when they felt that their bosses were incompetent.
Details of Study
Published online in Occupational and Environmental Medicine in Nov 2008, the study team used data on over 3,100 Swedish men who were part of the Work, Lipids, and Fibrinogen...
A Deflationary Environment may be Just What America NeedsBy Barbara L. Minton, January 15 2009
(NewsTarget) Every crisis has a silver lining. For years we in the Western world have been taught that the absolute worst thing that could happen to an economy is deflation, a retrenchment in the value of goods and services. Yet deflation is actually just the other side of inflation, and necessary to correct the excesses caused by a long period of economic expansion and inflation. Nature has taught us that balance is the key to life, and when these teachings of the natural world are applied it is...

Significant Proportion of Asthmatics May Have Been Over-DiagnosedBy Reuben Chow, January 14 2009
(NewsTarget) Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with asthma? If so, there is actually a good chance that you have been misdiagnosed, according to recent research conducted in Canada. In the past two decades, asthma rates have almost doubled. However, the said study found that asthma may be over-diagnosed by up to 30% among adults in the country.
Over-diagnosis of Asthma
Using accepted clinical diagnostic guidelines, 500 Canadians who had been diagnosed with the condition were re-tested...
Fight Heavy Metals and Free Radicals: Achieve Oral Chelation Naturally By Jo Hartley, January 14 2009
(NewsTarget) An unfortunate result of the toxic environment we live in is that the human body accumulates microscopic pieces of heavy metal like mercury, lead, and iron. These small pieces of metal are very destructive to the human body and it is not wise to ignore their presence in the body. While there are several methods for removing these metals, by far the most superior choice is to achieve this removal by natural methods. This is not only possible, but works very well.
These pieces of metal...
Excessive Antiviral Drug Use Increases Deadly Flu RiskBy Sherry Baker, January 14 2009
(NewsTarget) If you have a serious infection, a doctor can prescribe the right antibiotic or anti-viral drug to cure you, right? Unfortunately, that widely held belief is not only inaccurate but can be downright dangerous because infectious agents are rapidly becoming resistant to drugs created to kill them. A case in point: a new study shows antiviral medications long thought to be life-savers in the event of widespread avian flu pandemic in humans might not work at all because strains of avian...
Bras Shown to Cause CancerBy Sheryl Walters, January 14 2009
(NewsTarget) Is it possible that wearing a bra can actually cause cancer? Studies show that this is a very real possibility. The reason is that regularly wearing a bra prevents lymph drainage and circulation, which can greatly increase the possibility of developing breast cancer.
The lymphatic and circulatory systems are responsible for both delivering vital nutrients and clearing out toxins. When the body does not have access to nutrients or when it is under the attack of toxins, cancer may develop...
