 Prevent and Heal Disease With ChiliesBy Sheryl Walters, April 15 2008

 The Food Irradiation Plot: Why the USDA Wants to Sterilize Fresh Produce and Turn Live Foods into Dead FoodsBy Mike Adams, April 14 2008
(NaturalNews) There's a new plot underway to sterilize your food and destroy the nutritional value of fresh produce. The players in this plot are the usual suspects: The USDA (which backed the "raw" almond sterilization rules now in effect in California) and the American Chemical Society -- a pro-chemical group that represents the interests of industrial chemical manufacturers. The latest push comes from USDA researchers who conducted a study to see which method more effectively killed bacteria on...

(NewsTarget) The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has given care giant Kaiser Permanente over $300,000 to test and interview 150 to 500 patients suffering from Morgellons Disease. The study will be done in northern California where many Morgellons patients live.
Prior to this news, people had written off the disease as a hoax or the result of hypochondria. But recent evidence suggests that the disease is indeed real, and may be related to genetically modified (GM) food.

 Update: Why Mixed Martial Arts Training is Good for Children (opinion)By Mike Adams, April 12 2008
(NaturalNews) I received quite a bit of feedback to my recent article that asked whether children should train and compete in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Most of the feedback was critical of my advocacy of children's involvement in this sport, and while I greatly honor the comments and criticisms I receive from readers, some of the responses were based on the same common myths about MMA that are repeated by the mainstream media. So to clarify my position about what's really going on with MMA and children...
 Global Cooling or Global Warming - Which Is It and How Can We Know?By Jo Hartley, April 11 2008
(NewsTarget) There is huge disagreement in the scientific community about global warming. Researchers on either side have no trouble finding data to support their chosen theory. Recent climatic events highlight the importance of not over interpreting short-term data - temperature fluctuations either up or down. The environmental alarmists who have been overstating connections between extreme weather conditions and a man-made warming trend are on the opposite side of other researchers who are sounding...
 Should Kids Compete in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Bouts?By Mike Adams, April 11 2008
(NaturalNews) Following the atrociously-inaccurate story published by the Associated Press about children being involved in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fights, there has been a lot of talk about MMA and children's health in the mainstream media. But like the mainstream news coverage on many topics (including nutrition and vitamins), virtually every single story about Mixed Martial Arts (or "Ultimate Fighting") in the mainstream media has been written by people who are absolutely clueless about what...

 Melatonin: A Hormone That Protects Against Breast Cancer and AgingBy Barbara L. Minton, April 10 2008
(NewsTarget) Melatonin is nature's sleeping pill. It is secreted by the light sensitive pineal gland which regulates our biological clock and synchronizes our hormonal-immune network. Our level of melatonin rises with darkness and falls with light. According to Dr. Uzzi Reiss, in his book Natural Hormone Balance, a healthy pineal gland produces 2.5 milligrams of melatonin every twenty-four hours.
Melatonin plays a central role in the natural aging processes of the body. When pineal production...

 Minorities Are Not Satisfied With Their Health CareBy Jo Hartley, April 10 2008

Researchers at Harvard University surveyed 4,334 people in 2007. Surveyors asked patients questions such as how quickly they were able to schedule appointments and whether their doctor explained details in a manner that was understandable to them. Generally, whites rated their...

 America's Soldiers Need Support on the War FrontBy Jo Hartley, April 9 2008
(NewsTarget) Our American soldiers on the war front are finding it increasingly difficult to get the mental health care they need. As violence rose in Afghanistan, new tactics have been employed, which in turn pushed our troops there farther away from operating bases and farther away from help.
A report released March 6 recommended the use of civilian psychiatrists on the war front to supplement the uniformed mental health corps. Although this is an unusual recommendation, there are other civilian...

 The Facts About Pasteurization and Homogenization of Dairy ProductsBy Jo Hartley, April 9 2008
(NewsTarget) The popular milk campaign has been very successful in reversing declining milk sales in America over recent years. Common teaching is that milk is a "perfect food," for building strong bodies in children and preventing osteoporosis as we age. The modern dairy products that are available in most supermarkets are nothing like the unpasteurized, unhomogenized milk of yesteryear, however. Today's milk looks the same, but it is not the same product.
Pasteurization was discovered by Louis...
 Confident Parents Raise Confident ChildrenBy Barbara L. Minton, April 9 2008
(NewsTarget) Remember the news headline from a few months ago about the 2 year old who called 911 to report that his grandmother was not feeling well?

She has managed to empower that child with knowledge to survive in the world and take care of someone he loves. That child has the power to face an unpleasant situation...
