Articles from NaturalNews In-House Writers: Don't be fooled by "all natural" claims on foods and grocery products By Mike Adams, July 18 2007 Factory food manufacturers have figured out that slapping an "all natural" claim onto their processed, chemically-altered food products results in increased sales. Consumers, it seems, are trying to shop for healthier foods, and they're easily fooled by "all natural" claims, even though the vast majority of food products sporting such claims are anything but natural. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate claims of "all natural." They might claim to, but in reality, they don't... Big Pharma takes over veterinary medicine; dogs and cats drugged with chemicals for profit By Mike Adams, July 17 2007 Big Pharma has successfully completed its takeover of veterinary medicine in the United States and other first-world nations. Knowing that massive profits could be generated through the bodies of pets, drug companies have spent two decades pursuing an aggressive campaign of rewriting vet school curricula, influencing veterinarians and brainwashing pet owners into thinking their dogs, cats and horses need drugs in order to be healthy. It was an easy sell: Most consumers already demonstrate a cult... Health Roundup: TB lawsuits, lycopene bashing and Veggie Booty for infants (satire) By Mike Adams, July 16 2007 Nine airline passengers have filed a $1.3 million lawsuit against the tuberculosis man who cavorted around the world on a plane even after being told he was infected with a rare strain of TB. I'm not sure who takes the idiot prize on this one: The guy who hopped on a plane after learning he was carrying an infectious disease, or the nine passengers with suppressed immune systems who didn't even get TB but who still blame everyone else for their imagined problems. The only poetic justic in this story... FDA tyranny to become law: HR.2900 analysis by Richards and Adams By Mike Adams, July 12 2007 On July 11, 2007, the U.S. House of Representatives passed HR 2900, blocking debate on the law and preventing the introduction of any amendments that might have provided meaningful drug safety protections for consumers. This action demonstrates that the House of Representatives, much like the Senate, is utterly controlled by Big Pharma and has abandoned any responsibility to defend the interests of the voters. Drug companies now have complete control over the U.S. Congress, and through a campaign... China executes top FDA official while the U.S. does nothing to counter corruption By Mike Adams, July 11 2007 What's interesting about China's execution of its top FDA official (Zheng Xiaoyu) for accepting bribes from drug companies is not that China executed a corrupt official, it's that such harsh actions demonstrate, in contrast, the complete lack of action against corrupt FDA officials in the United States. In the U.S., the more corrupt the politician or bureaucrat, the more power they seem to gain, and those who demonstrate the most extreme degrees of evil, greed and contempt for fellow human beings... How food manufacturers trick consumers with deceptive ingredients lists By Mike Adams, July 10 2007 The myth: Ingredients lists on food products are designed to inform consumers about what's contained in the product. The reality: ingredients lists are used by food manufacturers to deceive consumers and trick them into thinking products are healthier (or better quality) than they really are. This article explores the most common deceptions used by food manufacturers to trick consumers with food ingredients lists. It also contains useful tips for helping consumers read such labels with the proper... Health freedom alert: Congress to ramrod FDA Reform Bill through House with no amendments allowed By Mike Adams, July 9 2007 This is an urgent health freedom alert from NewsTarget. The deadline is tight: A vote is scheduled on the House floor on Tuesday, July 10th, to pass HR 2900 while blocking all amendments and debate. This would disallow the pro-health freedom Emord amendments which Rep. Ron Paul is ready to introduce on the floor. But thanks to Majority leader Nancy Pelosi, who has placed HR 2900 on a "Suspension Calendar" status, no debate or amendments will be allowed. This may be a strategy by Pelosi to disallow... 84% of sunscreen products are harmful to health, says alarming EWG study By Mike Adams, July 9 2007 For 29 years, the FDA has refused to publish safety standards for sunscreen products. That's nearly three decades of keeping the public in the dark about the extremely harmful, cancer-causing chemicals found in sunscreen products. Any idea why the Food and Drug Administration has taken so long to set safety standards for a product used by over 100 million Americans? If you guessed, "Because the greedy corporations selling the toxic sunscreen products don't want the FDA to study the safety of their... This July 4th, declare your independence from America's failed health care system By Mike Adams, July 7 2007 Independence Day is a wonderful holiday. It's a time to remember the great success America's forefathers (and mothers) achieved in gaining freedom from tyrannical rule. This July 4th, whether you live in America or not, I encourage you to continue the great tradition of rejecting tyranny and embracing freedom by throwing off the shackles of conventional medicine and seeking, once and for all, a system of health care that actually cares for your health. Conventional medicine (also called "Western... The false gods of scientific medicine revealed: It's a cult, not a science By Mike Adams, July 2 2007 Promoters of conventional medicine claim that all the drug marketing, FDA approvals, surgical procedures, chemotherapy and all other treatments are based on "hard science." The term "science" is invoked with hilarious frequency: Science journals, science-based medicine, proven medical science and so on. As you might have guessed, however, there's surprisingly little genuine science to be found in the common practice of conventional medicine. Rather, what passes for "science" today is a collection... Nurses launch national "Scrubs for SiCKO" campaign to endorse universal health care following Michael Moore's film By Mike Adams, July 2 2007 Starting June 29th, the launch day of the SiCKO documentary, nurses, doctors and other health care practitioners are launching a national campaign to urge support for a shift to a universal health care system. They'll be handing out flyers and recruiting people to support a campaign to shift America away from its current greed-based system of medicine to one that offers universal health care to everyone. Universal health care is a system where the government provides taxpayer-funded health care... Aspartame found to cause breast cancer, leukemia and lymphomas in latest animal experiments By Mike Adams, June 28 2007 A new study on aspartame conducted by the Ramazzini Foundation reveals that aspartame causes a dose-dependent increase in cancers (lymphomas, leukemias and breast cancers) when consumed at levels approaching those consumed by humans in diet soft drinks. Specifically, the study shows (reprinted from the abstract): a) a significant dose-related increase of malignant tumor-bearing animals in males, in particular in the group treated at 2000 ppm; b) a significant increase of the incidence in lymphomas/leukemias... Pet food revealed: Consumer Wellness Center posts nutritional review of 570 pet food ingredients By Mike Adams, June 27 2007 The non-profit Consumer Wellness Center today posted a detailed nutritional review of 570 pet food ingredients commonly found in pet food products (both canned and dry). The list, created by a joint effort between pet food formulator Dr. Lisa Newman, N.D., Ph.D. (www.Azmira.com), consumer health advocate Mike Adams (www.HealthRanger.org) and the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (www.ConsumerWellness.org), tells the blatant truth about harmful, disease-promoting ingredients commonly used in pet...

How your skin health reflects the health of your large intestine (and other holistic principles of wellness) By Mike Adams, June 25 2007 Did you know that the health of your large intestine is reflected in the health of your skin? Your large intestine and skin are organs that interact with the environment. They both absorb and emit chemicals, water, and other metabolic products. The large intestine is the body's largest internal organ; its purpose is to absorb food, nutrients and water. The function of the skin is to hold not only all of your other organs, tissues, capillaries and muscles in place, but also to allow your body to breathe... Medicinal protein report now available online at NewsTarget.com By Mike Adams, June 22 2007 In this exclusive NewsTarget interview, Mike Adams interviews Tom Staverosky, president of ForeverWell (www.Foreverwell.com) about a unique fermented protein product that shows benefits for migraine sufferers and people with digestive disorders such as IBS. Inside, you'll learn: • Why many sick people are actually suffering from chronic protein absorption deficiency. • How specific protein peptides are being used as medicinal compounds. • The truth about common protein powders... The Healing Power of Water: Free report now available online at NewsTarget.com By Mike Adams, June 22 2007 Physicians rarely promote the curative properties of H2O, but Dr. Batmanghelidj, M.D. has studied water's effect on the human body and has found it to be one of the best pain relievers and preventative therapies in existence. I was one of the last people to interview the late Dr. Batmanghelidj, and I listened in awe as he shared his research and stories about "The Healing Power of Water." In a fascinating one-hour phone conversation, Dr. B. shares: • Which common ailments and "diseases... BetterLifeGoods.com introduces a travel safety tool with LED light, radio, cell phone charger, seatbelt cutter, glass break and more By Mike Adams, June 22 2007 Unlike most of our product reviews, this one isn't about your health or nutrition. It's about your personal safety. Better Life Goods (a company I own, see full disclosure below) has just finished a large production run on an new, unique safety and preparedness tool available now at www.BetterLifeGoods.com that combines an LED flashlight, cell phone charger, AM/FM radio, seatbelt cutter, glass break tool, hazard light and siren in a compact, hand-held product that operates on either batteries or... "Miracle" weight loss drug Alli delivers more than you bargained for (diapers optional) By Mike Adams, June 21 2007 When people ask, "What can I do to lose weight?" what they're really asking is, "What can I do to lose weight that doesn't require exercise or giving up all the junk foods I eat?" When it comes to weight loss, consumers are looking for a magic bullet -- a miracle pill that eliminates the responsibility of having to actually make adult decisions about their own health. GlaxoSmithKline has delivered the pot-of-weight-loss-gold at the end of the rainbow in the form of an over-the-counter drug called... Why Michael Moore's SiCKO is a health care documentary every American must see By Mike Adams, June 19 2007 America's disastrous health care system is heaving the country head-first into near-certain economic collapse. Just about everybody's either financially strained or going broke due to spiraling health care costs: the people, the employers, state governments and even the federal government. Multinational corporations are fleeing the United States due to health care costs, taking jobs and economic productivity with them. Meanwhile, 50 percent of personal bankruptcies in the U.S. are due to medical... Tai Chi and hydrotherapy shown to significantly help arthritis sufferers By Mike Adams, June 18 2007 Both Tai Chi and water-based exercise can help alleviate pain and stiffness of chronic osteoarthritis, according to a study by researchers in Australia. Researchers from the George Institute for International Health at the University of Sydney published their results in the current issue of the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism. Marlene Fransen, lead researcher, and her co-workers studied 152 men and women over 60 with chronic osteoarthritis. The research team randomly assigned participants to hydrotherapy... The sunscreen myth: How sunscreen products actually promote cancer By Mike Adams, June 15 2007 The idea that sunscreen prevents cancer is a myth. It's a myth promoted by a profit-seeking tag-team effort between the cancer industry and the sunscreen industry. The sunscreen industry makes money by selling lotion products that actually contain cancer-causing chemicals. It then donates a portion of that money to the cancer industry through non-profit groups like the American Cancer Society which, in turn, run heart-breaking public service ads urging people to use sunscreen to "prevent cancer.... Influenza virus samples, vaccine patents and corporate lies By Mike Adams, June 15 2007 In this article, I'm going to explain the real story behind the big international push to get Indonesia and other Asian countries to "share" their H5N1 influenza samples with the rest of the world. As you may know, countries like Australia, the United States and the UK are applying heavy political pressure to Indonesia in an attempt to force it to give up its influenza DNA samples. These nations claim that it's critical for public health and necessary to manufacture vaccines that will save people... How the FDA is Becoming a Drug Company: Consumer Safety and Access to Natural Health Options Threatened By Mike Adams, June 14 2007 (NaturalNews) This story has been removed.

Legislative effort targets school junk food, aims to upgrade nutritional guidelines By Mike Adams, June 14 2007 The Senate Agriculture Committee recently held a hearing on school nutrition that has inspired the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) to keep driving toward national action that will help get junk food out of the public school system. Congress could move this year to restrict junk food sales in public schools, while lawmakers search for a way to conquer the national epidemic of obesity. Jump directly to: conventional view \| bottom line What you... Consumers' use of pharmaceuticals, personal care products polluting rivers and oceans with toxic chemicals By Mike Adams, June 13 2007 Our water supply is becoming increasingly contaminated -- and not just by big factories dumping pollutants into the rivers. It is consumers, often unwittingly, who are poisoning rivers and oceans by sending potentially toxic chemicals down the drain. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated its researchers have found pharmaceuticals and personal care products -- or PPCPs -- in nearly every water supply they have tested. The issue is not new. In the United Kingdom, the dangers of PPCPs... Canadian Cancer Society announces national program to prevent cancer using vitamin D By Mike Adams, June 11 2007 Canada has done what the U.S. refuses to do: Protect the health of its people through a national program of encouraging vitamin D supplementation. While U.S. cancer groups like the American Cancer Society stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the benefits of vitamin D supplements in cancer prevention, the Canadian Cancer Society is launching a program to make sure every Canadian citizen receives a level of vitamin D sufficient to prevent most cancers, including breast cancer. The U.S., in contrast... New research shows vitamin D slashes risk of cancers by 77 percent; cancer industry refuses to support cancer prevention By Mike Adams, June 8 2007 Exciting new research conducted at the Creighton University School of Medicine in Nebraska has revealed that supplementing with vitamin D and calcium can reduce your risk of cancer by an astonishing 77 percent. This includes breast cancer, colon cancer, skin cancer and other forms of cancer. This research provides strong new evidence that vitamin D is the single most effective medicine against cancer, far outpacing the benefits of any cancer drug known to modern science. The study involved 1,179... FDA warns over dangerous products from China while ignoring dangerous products from the U.S. By Mike Adams, June 8 2007 The Food and Drug Administration has been gleefully warning us about the dangers of China-made food and personal care products recently. Why gleefully? Because announcing the discovery of toxic chemicals in products made by other countries (especially a Communist country) allows the FDA to appear as if it's protecting the public without having to tell the truth about the toxic chemicals found in American food and personal care products. Talking about the deadly chemicals and poisons used by American... If you exercise, be sure to increase your uptake of nutritional supplements and superfoods By Mike Adams, June 7 2007 Here's an important tip for those of you who are either currently engaged in an exercise program or are considering beginning one. It's a simple tip, but one that many people, unfortunately, forget. When we exercise, we use up more nutrients than if we were to avoid exercise. (Simply sweating, for example, causes a loss of minerals.) People who engage in regular exercise, therefore, need more nutritional supplementation than those who don't. It is easy to think exercise itself is what makes people... Review: The underground information source for cutting-edge nutritional science discoveries By Mike Adams, June 6 2007 I'd like to introduce you to an "underground" information source I subscribe to in order to stay up to date on cutting-edge nutritional information. It's a newsletter I've read for years, even long before I started writing for NewsTarget, and I find it to be a wellspring of information about practical, yet powerful health solutions that simply aren't covered in common magazines or the mainstream media. Here, I'll review this publication and reveal why I think it's a tremendous resource for learning... Raw, "empowered" chocolate products launched by Empowered Foods; full review of sensational product line By Mike Adams, June 5 2007 You've never had chocolate like this before. Of all the chocolate products I've ever tried (and I've eaten a lot of them because, of course, it's my job), nothing compares to the raw, "empowered" chocolate superfood bars and products made by a small raw foods company in Clearwater, Florida. It's called Empowered Foods, and its products are like nothing you've ever tried before. The company's Chocolate Goji Bar, for example, is made with raw Tibetan goji berries, raw cacao powder, raw cacao butter... Jay Robb launches The Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox Diet By Mike Adams, May 31 2007 Detoxifying the body is a huge business -- there are hundreds of books, supplements, and kits that make up the multi-million dollar industry. A new solution from Jay Robb, founder of the company best known for its protein products, promises a unique solution to whole-body detox. His new book, The Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox, presents an all-natural solution to flushing away toxins and tuning up the body's health. A clinical nutritionist, Robb (www.JayRobb.com) says that eating specific natural foods... Revolutionary laundry soap product grows on trees, replaces laundry detergent with eco-friendly solution By Mike Adams, May 30 2007 I've discovered an amazing new product that replaces commercial laundry detergents with a natural soap that literally grows on trees! This is a very big deal because the laundry room is one of the most toxic rooms in the home of a typical consumer. Commercial laundry detergents, fabric softeners and dryer sheets contain alarmingly high levels of toxic chemicals well known to cause cancer, liver disorders, neurological disturbances and hormone disruption. I still haven't figured out why so many people... China sentences ex-head of FDA to death over drug company bribes By Mike Adams, May 29 2007 (NaturalNews) This story has been removed.

Incessant disease mongering turns Americans into profit-generating guinea pigs for Big Pharma (opinion) By Mike Adams, May 26 2007 Disease mongering - the practice of pushing disease in order to sell more drugs - has become so routine and so successful in modern medicine that drug companies actually depend on inventing new diseases as a way to ensure future profits. It's not enough to sell drugs to people who are truly sick, you see. Big Pharma cleverly figured out that they could sell even MORE drugs if they simply invented new diseases and convinced people they needed pharmaceuticals to treat those diseases. The FDA, always... Food and Drug Administration anagrams and word games (satire) By Mike Adams, May 25 2007 Anagrams can be fun to play with. They're word scrambles where you take the letters of a word or phrase and mix them up (without adding or taking away letters) to make new and interesting phrases. For example, the name "William Shakespeare" can be scrambled to create, "I'll make a wise phrase." "Margaret Thatcher" can be reworked to say, "That great charmer," and "President Bush of the USA" can be reordered to read, "A fresh one, but he's stupid." I wonder what interested phrases might be found... Dietary fats reduce effectiveness of antioxidants like vitamin C By Mike Adams, May 25 2007 The anti-cancer benefits of vitamin C can be dramatically reduced by intake of dietary fats, according to a new study conducted at the University of Glasgow. The results of the study, which simulated what happens in the human stomach, were presented earlier this month at the annual meeting of the Society of Experimental Biology in Glasgow. Researchers investigated how vitamin C affects the acidification of nitrite in the stomach. This acidification can lead to production of potentially carcinogenic... FDA approves pill that stops periods; is womanhood a disease? (opinion) By Mike Adams, May 24 2007 Conventional medicine has, for decades, preyed upon the "symptoms of womanhood" and attempted to transform every female activity from childbirth to menstruation into a disease requiring chemical treatment. Today, the FDA approved Lybrel, a daily pill for women that stops periods... forever. The concept behind such a pill is based on the false idea that menstruation is a disease requiring a medical fix. Most sane people would agree that menstruation is, in fact, a natural biological function and... Next page ->
