Study shows medical marijuana laws reduce traffic deaths

2011-12-04T14:50:00.001-05:00

A groundbreaking new study shows that laws legalizing medical marijuana have resulted in a nearly nine percent drop in traffic deaths and a five percent reduction in beer sales.

"Our research suggests that the legalization of medical marijuana reduces traffic fatalities through reducing alcohol consumption by young adults," said Daniel Rees, professor of economics at the University of Colorado Denver who co-authored the study with D. Mark Anderson, assistant professor of economics at Montana State University.

2010-02-11T03:08:00.001-05:00

By Oskar Garcia, Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Celine Dion is returning to the Las Vegas Strip in 2011 to begin a three-year run at Caesars Palace.

The Grammy award-winning singer announced Wednesday she'll return to the 4,300-seat Colosseum, home of her previous show, A New Day. It grossed more than $400 million and was seen by nearly 3 million fans over five years before closing in December 2007.

The new show begins March 15, 2011, with tickets for the first 54 performances going on sale Friday. Officials say ticket prices will range from $55 to $250 before taxes and fees. Read More....

Brittany Murphy's death ruled an accident

2010-02-05T09:26:00.003-05:00

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Actress Brittany Murphy's death was an accident caused by a combination of pneumonia, an iron deficiency and "multiple drug intoxication," the Los Angeles County coroner said Thursday.

The 32-year-old actress was found dead in her Hollywood Hills, California, home December 20.

The short statement issued by the coroner's office Thursday did not list the drugs involved, but assistant chief Ed Winter told CNN no illegal drugs were found in Murphy's system.

The full autopsy report would be available within two weeks, the coroner's office said.

The primary cause of death was "community acquired pneumonia," but drugs found by the toxicology screening were believed to "play a role in her death," said coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey. "They just were not the primary cause, so they figured into the cause of death, so that's why it's an accidental death." Read More....

Jets Owner’s Daughter Died of a Complication of Diabetes

2010-02-05T09:06:00.002-05:00

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Casey Johnson, a daughter of the Jets’ owner, Woody Johnson, died of a complication of diabetes, the Los Angeles County coroner said Thursday.

Johnson, 30, died of diabetic ketoacidosis, which is caused by a lack of insulin and very high blood sugar, the coroner’s office said in a brief statement.

Johnson’s body was found at her home Jan. 4, and an autopsy was performed the next day. The coroner’s office said it would not be able to discuss specifics until the autopsy report and toxicology results become available within two weeks.

A message left for a family spokesman was not immediately returned.

Johnson had been an insulin-dependent diabetic since childhood. Read More....

'Bone-Crushing' Fever Risk MUCH Greater Threat than Swine Flu

Your Complexion Reveals How Good Your Diet and Health Is

2010-02-04T00:41:00.002-05:00

Posted by Dr. Mercola

Researchers have found that your complexion affects how healthy, and therefore how attractive, you appear. What’s more, your diet may be crucial to achieving the most desirable complexion.

Using specialist computer software, study participants were asked to manipulate the skin color of male and female Caucasian faces to make them look as healthy as possible. They chose to increase the rosiness, yellowness and brightness of the skin.

Skin that is slightly flushed with blood and full of oxygen suggests a strong heart and lungs, supporting the study's findings that rosier skin appeared healthy. Smokers and people with diabetes or heart disease have fewer blood vessels in their skin, and so skin would appear less rosy. Read More....

Top 'Safe' Cell Phones That Aren't Safe

2010-02-03T19:33:00.005-05:00

By Camilla Rees, Founder of Electro Magnetic Health.org

Just prior to the recent Senate hearings on cell phone safety, Chaired by Senator Tom Harkin, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) released a new database for consumers ranking over 1,000 cell phones by the Specific Absorption Rate, known as the SAR value.

The SAR value is a measure of the power of the cell phone and its potential for heating tissues.

The SAR value has been available for some time through the FCC’s own databases but has never before been made available in one central, easily accessible source in the United States. Nor is the SAR value listed on box packaging of cell phones at the point of sale for comparison purposes.

FDA Warns About Eyelash Thickener Claims

Posted by Dr. Mercola

The U.S. FDA has warned Allergan Inc. that the Web site for its eyelash thickener Latisse is misleading. The site downplays or fails to mention risks associated with the product.

The Latisse site either doesn't mention potential side effects including bacterial eye infections, allergic reactions, excess hair growth outside the intended treatment area, and permanent changes in iris and eyelid pigmentation, or presents them in very small text.

The drug is approved to make eyelashes thicker, fuller and darker. Latisse, or bimatoprost, was already on the market as a treatment for glaucoma. Read More....

Muscle is Hard to Build and Easy to Lose

2010-02-03T17:29:00.003-05:00

Posted by Dr. Mercola

As you age, it becomes harder to keep your muscles healthy. They get smaller, which decreases strength and increases the likelihood of falls and fractures. New research is showing how this happens, and what to do about it.

Researchers have already shown that when older people eat, they cannot make muscle as fast as the young. Now they've found that the suppression of muscle breakdown is blunted with age. This may explain the ongoing loss of muscle in older people -- when they eat they don't build enough muscle, and in addition, their insulin fails to shut down the muscle breakdown that rises between meals and overnight.

However, weight training may "rejuvenate" muscle blood flow and help retain muscle for older people. Read More....

A Misunderstood Skin Condition Sweeping the Baby Boom Generation

2010-02-03T17:07:00.001-05:00

Article by Dr. Mercola

Rosacea (pronounced roh-ZAY-sha) is a disorder of your facial skin. While it is similar to acne, it is distinctly different and is characterized by some or all of the following indicators:

* Redness on your cheeks, nose, forehead and/or chin
* Small but obvious blood vessels on your face
* Facial pimples
* Watery, irritated or bloodshot eyes

Rosacea is a chronic, progressive disorder which is often distinguished by flare-ups followed by remissions. The condition isn’t life threatening, but it can certainly be life altering due to its effect on your personal appearance. According to the National Rosacea Society, over 75 percent of people with rosacea feel the condition has affected their self-esteem. Many rosacea sufferers are uncomfortable in public settings and avoid social activities.

Some Dog Foods Deliver Toxic Doses of Poison

2010-02-03T16:54:00.002-05:00

Article by Dr. Mercola

With the memory of the melamine pet food scare still fresh in the minds of many, the Environmental Working Group is publicizing a new threat: potentially toxic doses of fluoride in dog food.

An EWG analysis found troubling levels of fluoride in 8 of 10 dog foods tested. The concentration of fluoride was up to 2.5 times higher than the safe level the EPA sets for drinking water. Some puppies may be exposed to five times this limit.

The fluoride in dog food originates in bone meal and animal by-products. EWG recommends choosing dog food brands free of bone meal and meat by-product ingredients like chicken by-product meal, poultry by-product meal, chicken meal and beef meal.

'Life Force' Linked to Your Ability to Withstand Stress

2010-02-03T16:35:00.002-05:00

Article by Dr. Mercola

Your ability to withstand stress-related, inflammatory diseases may be related to your personality. Especially in aging women, a lack of the personality trait known as extroversion may signal that blood levels of a key inflammatory molecule have crossed over a threshold linked to a doubling of risk of death within five years.

A study found that that extroverts, and in particular those high "dispositional activity" or engagement in life, have dramatically lower levels of the inflammatory chemical interleukin 6 (IL-6). Extroverts tend to be focused on the world around them and are most happy when active and surrounded by people. Introverts look inward and are shy.

For the study, degree of extroversion was determined by standard tests, including the NEO Five-Factor Inventory. The study found that the difference between the 84th percentile of dispositional activity and the 16th translated roughly into a 1.29 picogram increase in IL-6 per milliliter of blood.

Can Selenium Cause Diabetes?

2010-02-03T12:48:00.002-05:00

Posted by Dr. Mercola

Americans with diabetes have been found to have high levels of selenium in their bodies, leading some experts to believe that it could contribute to development of the disease. A research team has now recommended that U.S. residents stop taking supplements that contain selenium.

Most Americans ingest large amounts of the mineral because soil in much of the U.S. contains high levels that are absorbed by crops. Selenium occurs naturally in soil, and leaches onto farm fields from irrigation and streams.

A research team examined the diabetes rate and selenium levels among nearly 1,000 people over the age of 40. They found that most had a good deal of selenium in their blood, but those with diabetes had substantially more.

Selenium is an essential element and antioxidant, but medical experts say there may be a fine line between the amount that your body needs and the amount that is harmful. Read More....

How Some Web Sites Sell Your Information to Drug Companies

2010-02-03T11:56:00.001-05:00

Posted by Dr. Mercola

RealAge, a Web site that promises to help shave years off your age, has become one of the most popular tests on the Internet. More than 27 million people have taken the site’s test, which asks 150 or so questions about lifestyle and family history to assign a “biological age,” how young or old your habits make you.

Then, RealAge makes recommendations on how to get “younger,” like taking multivitamins, eating breakfast and flossing your teeth.

But while RealAge purports to promote better living through non-medical solutions, it makes its money by selling better living through drugs. RealAge acts as a clearinghouse for drug companies, including Pfizer, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline.

The companies pay RealAge to compile test results of RealAge members and send them marketing messages by e-mail. The drug companies can even use RealAge answers to find people who show symptoms of a disease, and begin sending them messages about it even before the people have received a diagnosis from their doctors.

Journal Retracts 1998 Paper Linking Autism to Vaccines

2010-02-03T00:01:00.004-05:00

By GARDINER HARRIS
Published: February 2, 2010

A prominent British medical journal on Tuesday retracted a 1998 research paper that set off a sharp decline in vaccinations in Britain after the paper’s lead author suggested that vaccines could cause autism.

The retraction by The Lancet is part of a reassessment that has lasted for years of the scientific methods and financial conflicts of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who contended that his research showed that the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine may be unsafe.

But the retraction may do little to tarnish Dr. Wakefield’s reputation among parents’ groups in the United States. Despite a wealth of scientific studies that have failed to find any link between vaccines and autism, the parents fervently believe that their children’s mental problems resulted from vaccinations.

Tom Skinner, a spokesman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, called the retraction of Dr. Wakefield’s study “significant.”

Food Inc. - Exclusive Clip Unintended Consequences

2010-02-01T20:42:00.004-05:00

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli--the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually.

2010-01-28T23:56:00.017-05:00

Editoral Review from Amazon.com

For most Americans, the ideal meal is fast, cheap, and tasty. Food, Inc. examines the costs of putting value and convenience over nutrition and environmental impact. Director Robert Kenner explores the subject from all angles, talking to authors, advocates, farmers, and CEOs, like co-producer Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma), Gary Hirschberg (Stonyfield Farms), and Barbara Kowalcyk, who's been lobbying for more rigorous standards since E. coli claimed the life of her two-year-old son. The filmmaker takes his camera into slaughterhouses and factory farms where chickens grow too fast to walk properly, cows eat feed pumped with toxic chemicals, and illegal immigrants risk life and limb to bring these products to market at an affordable cost. If eco-docs tends to preach to the converted, Kenner presents his findings in such an engaging fashion that Food, Inc. may well reach the very viewers who could benefit from it the most: harried workers who don't have the time or income to read every book and eat non-genetically modified produce every day. Though he covers some of the same ground as Super-Size Me and King Korn, Food Inc. presents a broader picture of the problem, and if Kenner takes an understandably tough stance on particular politicians and corporations, he's just as quick to praise those who are trying to be responsible--even Wal-Mart, which now carries organic products. That development may have more to do with economics than empathy, but the consumer still benefits, and every little bit counts. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Window cleaning chemical injected into fast food hamburger meat

(NaturalNews) If you're in the beef business, what do you do with all the extra cow parts and trimmings that have traditionally been sold off for use in pet food? You scrape them together into a pink mass, inject them with a chemical to kill the e.coli, and sell them to fast food restaurants to make into hamburgers.

That's what's been happening all across the USA with beef sold to McDonald's, Burger King, school lunches and other fast food restaurants, according to a New York Times article. The beef is injected with ammonia, a chemical commonly used in glass cleaning and window cleaning products.

This is all fine with the USDA, which endorses the procedure as a way to make the hamburger beef "safe" enough to eat. Ammonia kills e.coli, you see, and the USDA doesn't seem to be concerned with the fact that people are eating ammonia in their hamburgers. Read More....

Mammograms cause breast cancer, groundbreaking new research declares

2010-01-28T21:33:00.004-05:00

(NaturalNews) Ever since the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force took a look, finally, at the scientific evidence and announced new recommendations earlier this month for routine mammograms -- specifically that women under 50 should avoid them and women over 50 should only get them every other year -- the reactions from many women, doctors and the mainstream media have reached the point of near hysteria. Not getting annual mammograms, some say, means countless women will receive a virtual death sentence because their breast tumors won't be discovered. But what is rarely discussed about mammograms is this: the tests could actually be causing many cases of breast cancer.

In fact, a new study just presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), concludes the low-dose radiation from annual mammography screening significantly increases breast cancer risk in women with a genetic or familial predisposition to breast cancer.

Aspirin kills 400% more people than H1N1 swine flu

2010-01-28T21:24:00.001-05:00

(NaturalNews) The CDC now reports that nearly 4,000 Americans have been killed by H1N1 swine flu. This number is supposed to sound big and scary, motivating millions of people to go out and pay good money to be injected with untested, unproven H1N1 vaccines. But let's put the number in perspective: Did you know that more than four times as many people are killed each year by common NSAID painkillers like aspirin?

The July 1998 issue of The American Journal of Medicine explains it as follows:

"Conservative calculations estimate that approximately 107,000 patients are hospitalized annually for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-related gastrointestinal (GI) complications and at least 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur each year among arthritis patients alone." (Singh Gurkirpal, MD, “Recent Considerations in Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Gastropathy”, The American Journal of Medicine, July 27, 1998, p. 31S)

So for every person the CDC claims was killed by H1N1 swine flu this year, common painkillers like aspirin have killed four! Read More....

Cancer can be cured... And here's the book that shows you how!

2010-01-28T20:16:00.002-05:00

How a Brazilian scholar discovered the hidden cure for cancer...

Father Romano Zago, a Franciscan Friar and scholar, wrote the book Cancer Can Be Cured to reveal to the world an all natural Brazilian Recipe that contains the juice made from the whole leaf plant of Aloe Arborescens and honey that has been shown to rapidly restore the body's health so it heals itself of all types of cancer. The book tells how it was while administering to the poor in the shantytown of Rio Grande dol Sul, Brazil that he and the provincial Father Arno Reckziegel, witnessed the healing of simple people of cancer who used this recipe. Later, when he had assignments in Israel and Italy where this aloe species grows naturally he continued to see great success in the chronically ill being cured when he recommended they use this recipe. This inspired for him to spend the next 20 years in researching the science behind this aloe species and the publication of that research in this book along with his numerous first hand anecdotes of cancer healing by those using the Brazilian juice recipe.

Chapters include information on how to prepare the recipe using the three ingredients of whole leaf Aloe arborescens juice, honey and a small amount of distillate (1%); how to take the preparation; questions and answers on everything from how to pick the aloe leaves, why each of the three ingredients is important in the recipe, the types of cancer that have been cured using the recipe, other diseases and health problems the recipe has shown to be beneficial in helping the human body solve; the internationalization of the recipe on five continents; anecdotal stories of some body healings; the composition of Aloe; and Aloe and Aids, and how to find a commercial manufacturer who makes the Brazilian immune formula as a dietary supplement.

There has been much publicized scientific research and literature on the synergistic benefits of the 300 phytotherapeutic biochemical and nutrient constituents of Aloe vera to aid the body's defenses to enhance the immune system and protect against diseases. However, this is the first book to reveal the little known potency to be found in the constituents of its cousin plant species of Aloe arborescens. He writes: "Recent studies administered by the Palatinin Salzano Venezia Institute in Italy have discovered that Aloe arborescens is 200% richer in medicinal substances than Aloe vera and contains more than 70% of anti-cancerogenous properties (active ingredients) as opposed to Aloe vera, which contains 40% of these properties."

Teen girl suffers permanent brain damage after cervical cancer vaccine

Previously in a state of apparent health, Stacey began to suffer severe seizures and brain inflammation within days after receiving the Cervarix vaccine injection. The swelling of her brain was so severe that it cause permanent brain damage, and today Stacey Jones is an "empty shell" of a girl.

Her mother isn't fooled by Big Pharma. "I really feel she has been used as a guinea pig," she said in a DailyMail news article (source below). "I don't think there is enough evidence that the vaccination programme is safe - this all happened days after Stacey was given the vaccine, and we don't have any other explanation for what triggered her brain injury."

How to Stay Sharp as a Tack

2010-01-28T18:39:00.002-05:00

(NaturalNews) A few days ago a song got stuck in my head- the slow, haunting violin melody that set the mood in the movie Platoon. But I couldn't recall who wrote it, and it bugged me. Later, when I wasn't thinking about it, I suddenly remembered it was Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.

We all have episodes like this. We forget names and misplace things. We lose our train of thought, and we walk into rooms with no recollection of why we went there in the first place. This is normal human behavior. Now, forgetting a close family member's name, constantly repeating yourself, or getting lost in familiar places is another issue. Still, even run-of-the-mill memory lapses can be disconcerting, especially if you're older. You may wonder, "Am I losing it? Is Alzheimer's just around the corner?" Read More....

Huge California study concludes soda consumption undeniably linked to obesity

2010-01-28T18:18:00.002-05:00

(NaturalNews) Much like Big Tobacco once did with nicotine, the soda industry and high-fructose corn syrup producers of America have maintained a ridiculous state of flat-out denial about the links between soda consumption and obesity. "Sodas don't make you fat," they insist. Meanwhile, as Americans guzzle down insanely large quantities of soda and liquid sugar with each passing year, rates of obesity and diabetes continue to steadily climb. Surely diet must have something to do with it, right?

Thanks to a new California study, soda companies can no longer hide behind the defense of uncertainty when it comes to links between soda consumption and obesity. This massive study questioned the soda consumption habits of 43,000 adults and 4,000 adolescents and concluded this: Drinking one or more sodas a day increases your chances of obesity by 27 percent. A whopping 62% of adults who drink at least one soda each day are overweight or obese. Read More....

Routine Consumption of Aspirin to Prevent Heart Attacks and Strokes "A Big Lie"

2010-01-28T17:27:00.002-05:00

(NaturalNews) Taking an aspirin a day appears to increase a person's risk of dangerous gastric bleeding as much as it decreases their risk of heart attack or stroke, researchers have found.

"We don't have good evidence that, for healthy people, the benefits of long-term aspirin exceed the risks by an appropriate margin," said lead researcher Colin Baigent, of the Clinical Trial Service Unit at Oxford University. Read More....

Juice It Up!

2010-01-28T13:19:00.001-05:00

(NaturalNews) Some mornings on my way to work, I drop by the local Jamba Juice store a block from my office and down 16 ounces of carrot juice and four ounces each of wheatgrass juice and a green tea energy drink. I drink this cocktail for overall health and vitality. The wheatgrass is full of vitamin K and amino acids, the carrot juice is packed with beta-carotene, and the green tea gives me a boost of caffeine and antioxidants to get my day started.

However, this is not a story about general health maintenance. It is about "targeted" juices that have predictable and rapid therapeutic effects on specific health conditions. Let's start with a very common problem: high blood pressure. Read More....

Eleni Prokopeas speaks out on vaccines and a cure for autism in NaturalNews interview

(NaturalNews) In a new online interview just posted, Eleni Prokopeas from "Green Diva Mom" (www.GreenDivaMom.com) shares her story of vaccines causing autism in her son. As a healthy new mom, Eleni thought the health of her newborn son would be well protected, but after subjecting her son to a round of vaccines, the health of her son deteriorated to the point where he was eventually diagnosed as autistic.

Spending thousands of dollars on lab tests, Eleni Prokopeas discovered that her newborn son was contaminated with trace amounts of heavy metals including mercury, which is used in the vaccine preservative Thimerosal. Read More....

Why Are Smart People So Ignorant When it Comes to Health, Vaccines and Vitamin D? (Part One)

2010-01-28T12:23:00.003-05:00

(NaturalNews)

A heart disease patient of late
Had an IQ of 168.
His brain was immense
But it lacked common sense
And it never engaged when he ate.
- by the Health Ranger

As an observer of human behavior, one of the most fascinating things I've ever witnessed is really smart people dying of diseases that are easily preventable through basic nutrition (vitamin D, plant juices, targeted supplements, superfoods, etc.). I know doctors dying of cancer who take chemotherapy over vitamin D supplements. I know members of MENSA who are killing themselves with junk foods and diabetes. I know extremely intelligent attorneys and physicists who are among the smartest people in their respective fields; but when it comes to basic health, they're completely ignorant.

In fact, if you look around at all the "smart" people you know, you're likely to find the vast majority of them are incredibly ignorant when it comes to their own health. They know nothing about basic nutrition, the benefits of superfoods or the dangers of pharmaceuticals. They eat processed junk foods, dairy products and food products contaminated with pesticides and toxic chemicals. They may be the smartest people in the world in their labs or offices, but when it comes to their own bodies, they are among the most ignorant people on the planet.

How can this be? Read More....

The Sweet Art of Healing

2010-01-27T19:05:00.001-05:00

(NaturalNews) Jerome, a 53-year-old high school teacher, was in the hospital awaiting amputation of his left leg. He'd been receiving IV antibiotics to treat a diabetic ulcer, a wide, oozing open wound on his ankle, but this didn't halt the steady advance of gangrene, and he was told they had no choice but to take his leg.

About five hours before he was scheduled for surgery, Jerome talked to the teacher who was substituting for him to tell him he'd probably be out for the rest of the year. The substitute had heard about the Whitaker Wellness Institute and the work we do here, so he suggested that Jerome check us out. Jerome immediately phoned his wife, who called the clinic and asked if there was anything we could do to save his leg. I said we would certainly try. Figuring he had nothing to lose, Jerome left the hospital-against strongly worded medical advice-and came to my clinic that same day. Read More....

Vitamin D Deficiency Reveals an Instant Health Care Reform Solution

2010-01-27T18:49:00.003-05:00

(NaturalNews) It's official: Vitamin D deficiency is so widespread in U.S. children that it poses a huge threat to the future health of an entire generation. A new study published in the journal Pediatrics paints a disturbing picture of vitamin D deficiency across the population of children aged 1 through 21. Three-fourths of young African American children, for example, are deficient in vitamin D. Much the same pattern holds true for Mexican American children. Even white kids, with their fairer skin and greater vitamin D production, hit the charts with 50% - 60% deficiency, depending on the age group. Read More....

Cancer Screening: Does It Really Save Lives?

2010-01-27T18:11:00.002-05:00

(NaturalNews) Anne is a good patient. She sees her doctor for regular checkups, has yearly mammograms, Pap tests, and colon cancer screenings, and she even paid for a full-body CT scan out of her own pocket. She figures she's doing everything she can to make sure she doesn't get cancer.

Truth is, Anne is doing nothing to prevent cancer. Although cancer screening is billed as a preventive service that saves lives, the best it can do is detect disease in its early stages, when it is supposedly easier to treat. Nevertheless, every year millions of Americans dutifully line up for their screenings, completely unaware that they may be doing more harm than good. Read More....

Artificial Sweeteners Stay in the Water Supply

2010-01-27T17:56:00.001-05:00

(NaturalNews) A new study investigating the ability of water treatment facilities to remove artificial sweeteners from municipal water supplies has found that significant amounts remain despite the implementation of high-tech industrial water purification.

Researchers from the Water Technology Centre in Karlsruhe, Germany examined levels of seven common sweeteners - acesulfame, saccharin, aspartame, cyclamate (currently banned in the US and Canada), sucralose, neotame and NHDC - using a new method that enables detection of the substances simultaneously. Analysis of the water samples revealed that up to 80% and 59% of sucralose and acesulfame remained respectively, despite treatment and advanced filtration. Acesulfame was found to be the most treatment resistant sweetener, with several hundred nanograms of saccharin and cyclamate also remaining. Read More....

Macrobiotic Diet Shown to Prevent Cancer

2010-01-27T17:26:00.003-05:00

(NaturalNews) Macrobiotic is a word derived from Greek roots and means "long life". A macrobiotic diet combines simplicity in eating and avoidance of toxins in food with Buddhist Zen principles. Because of it's emphasis of nutrient-rich, whole foods the macrobiotic diet has been of interest in prevention of cancer.

A macrobiotic diet is a low-fat, high-fiber diet with an emphasis on whole grains and vegetables. Followers of a macrobiotic diet avoid meat, animal fats such as butter and lard, dairy products, eggs, artificial sweeteners, and chemical additives. The diet is made up of whole grains (brown rice, millet, buckwheat, wheat, corn, rye), vegetables, beans (and bean products such as tofu), sea vegetables (nori, kombu, hiziki), and smaller amounts of fruit, seeds, nuts, and white fish. Preferably these foods are organic, locally grown, and whole or very minimally processed. Vegetables such as avocados, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, asparagus, and beets are discouraged.

8 Weeks to Vibrant Health - A Breakthrough Guide to Women's Health by Dr. Hyla Cass M.D.

2010-01-27T17:17:00.002-05:00

I've met many doctors over the years who claim to be experts on women's health. Most are well informed about conventional pharmaceutical medicine, but they remain hopelessly uninformed about natural medicine. Rarely do I meet any physician who has commanding knowledge over both realms, and even when I do, virtually none of them truly grasp the key challenges in women's health.

Today, I'd like to introduce you to one of the rare exceptions in our world of medicine... a remarkable and accomplished woman whom I have come to respect as the most well-informed doctor on women's health I've ever met. Her name is Dr. Hyla Cass, M.D., and she's the co-author of a newly-updated book called 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health.

This book, which we're publishing in-house in cooperation with Dr. Hyla Cass, is known as A Take-Charge Plan for Women to Correct Imbalances, Reclaim Energy and Restore Well-Being.

That description just barely scratches the surface, actually. In a minute, I'll explain more about what this book delivers, but first I'd like to tell you why I'm so enthusiastic about Dr. Hyla Cass and her approach to women's health. Read More....

Therefore, doping kids with mind-altering psych drugs will cause them to lose weight. (I'm not making this up. This is an accurate re-statement of the position of the psych doctors.) Read More....

Thirty-Six Thousand People Do Not Die Each Year from "Regular Flu" (Confirmed)

2010-01-27T16:43:00.001-05:00

(NaturalNews) Read just about any news report on swine flu deaths, and you'll come across a line that claims "36,000 people die each year from flu-related causes." It sounds authoritative. It's even a nice, round number. But where is this number coming from? And is it based on any actual science?

This statistic is being paraded around by almost everybody, as if to say that swine flu isn't so bad because regular flu kills so many people each year anyway. The truth is that the only standard by which the CDC and WHO are quoting deaths from swine flu is if they are confirmed deaths from a particular viral strain. To them, if a death has not been confirmed in their labs, it does not count as a death from that flu. Read More....

Pfizer caught in yet more science fraud: Company altered study findings for Neurontin drug

2010-01-27T15:01:00.002-05:00

(NaturalNews) Research into internal company documents has revealed that Pfizer Inc., the world's largest research-based pharmaceutical company, tampered with the results of at least 16 study reports about its epilepsy drug, Neurontin. In order to expand the market for the drug, Pfizer unlawfully removed, altered, and changed published study findings that revealed unfavorable results.

Of the 20 study reports that were produced, eight of them were not published in medical journals at all and another eight had their original study designs altered in some way in order to arrive at alternate outcomes. Some of the primary outcomes were changed to new ones while others were replaced by secondary outcomes. Still others were simply removed altogether. Read More....

Aspartame alert: Diet soda destroys kidney function

(NaturalNews) Scientists from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston have revealed results from a study outlining some of the effects of artificial sweeteners on the body. Conducted on a group of 3,000 women, the results indicated that those who drank two or more artificially-sweetened beverages a day doubled their risk of more-rapid-than-normal kidney function decline.

The study accounted for various other risk factors including the woman's age, her blood pressure, if she smoked, and if she had any other pre-existing conditions such as heart disease or diabetes. The 11-year study evaluated the effects of all sweetened drinks on progressive kidney decline and discovered that two or more diet drinks leads to a two-fold increase in rapid kidney decline incidences.

Wave of sickness and disease now striking Baby Boomers

2010-01-27T14:24:00.001-05:00

(NaturalNews) Research is now showing that today's "baby boomers", the generation currently eclipsing age 60, is the first generation to be less healthy than the generation before them. Those in this age group are more susceptible to debilitating diseases than in years past, stemming primarily from poor diet and lack of proper exercise.

Professor Teresa Seeman, a researcher from the University of California, examined those today in their 60s, 70s, and 80s and compared her findings to people from the same age groups examined ten years ago. She came to the startling conclusion that about one in five people in their 60s today requires assistance in accomplishing daily activities. This number is 50 percent higher than it was a decade ago.

The Vitamin Hoax: Big Pharma Speaks Through Reader's Digest Magazine

2009-09-10T23:37:00.006-04:00

(NaturalNews) The cover of the November 2007 issue of Reader's Digest magazine makes a strong statement through a featured article entitled The Vitamin Hoax: 10 Not to Take. Written by Reader's Digest Senior Research Editor, Neena Samuel, the article cautions readers not to be duped into purchasing vitamins and supplements. She seems concerned by the gullibility of Americans who are "fooled by unrealistic claims of what vitamins can do to 'increase energy,' 'stimulate brain function,' 'improve sex drive,' 'reverse cancer' and 'remove plaque' from your arteries."

Samuel writes that these "wild claims" help "explain why Americans shell out $7.5 billion a year on vitamins, hoping to prolong life, slow aging and protect against a bevy of illnesses." From her standpoint, it seems that Americans are a desperate, naive bunch, grasping at any snake-oiled promise to avoid the inevitable doom of chronic disease. Confident that the average American will be unable to sort through these "wild claims" about nutritional supplements, Samuel jumps to a list of ten we don't need to bother taking.

While it's true that people suffer illness, age, and die as part of the human condition, does this mean that no one should attempt to prevent, delay or improve the experience? Shouldn't one be able to educate themselves about wellness and try to live a healthier, fuller life through better nutrition and lifestyle awareness without being ridiculed?

Cancer is not a Disease - It's a Survival Mechanism (Book Excerpt)

2009-09-10T23:07:00.008-04:00

(NaturalNews) What you are about to read may rock or even dismantle the very foundation of your beliefs about your body, health and healing. The title, "Cancer Is Not a Disease" may be unsettling for many, provocative to some, but encouraging for all. This book will serve as a revelation for those who are sufficiently open-minded to consider the possibility that cancer and other debilitating illnesses are not actual diseases, but desperate and final attempts by the body to stay alive for as long as circumstances permit. Read More....

Product Description
In Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism, bestselling author and internationally acclaimed health expert, Andreas Moritz, proves the point that cancer is the physical symptom reflecting our body's final attempt to eliminate specific life-destructive causes. He claims that removing such causes sets the precondition for complete healing of our body, mind and emotions. This book confronts you with a radically new understanding of cancer - one that outdates the current cancer model. On average, the conventional approaches of killing, cutting or burning cancerous cells offer most patients a remission rate of merely 7%, and the majority of the few survivors are "cured" for just five years or less. The prominent cancer researcher and professor at the University of California (Berkeley), Dr. Hardin Jones, stated: "Patients are as well, or better off, untreated." Any published success figures in cancer survival statistics are offset by equal or better scores among those not receiving any treatments. More people are killed by the treatments than saved. Cancer is Not a Disease shows you why regular cancer treatments can be fatal, what actually causes cancer, and how you can remove the obstacles that prevent the body from healing itself. Cancer is not an attempt on your life; to the contrary, cancer is trying to save it. Unless we change our perception of what cancer really is, it will continue to threaten the life of nearly one out of every two people. This book opens a door for those who wish to turn feelings of victimhood into empowerment and self-mastery, and disease into health.

Forget Big Pharma's Phony Heart "Drug"

2009-09-07T10:41:00.005-04:00

by Al Sears, MD

Get a load of this. Big Pharma giant Merck is trying to re-package one of Nature’s most potent heart health allies… and sell it to you as a heart “drug.”1

At this very moment, they’re heavily lobbying the FDA to get it approved.

The name of this new “drug” they’re suddenly so excited about? Vitamin B3. Also known as niacin.

I can see why Merck wants to patent niacin. It’s an amazing nutrient. And now that raising HDL has become such a big topic in the heart health world, they’re trying to capitalize on a solution that’s been around for years.

Big Pharma had been deliberately ignoring the importance of HDL for years because statin drugs only lowered LDL. That is until rival AstraZeneca was able to prove that Crestor could raise HDL… and raked in billions.

Now Merck is jumping on the HDL bandwagon by trying to patent its niacin formula.

But you can get all the benefits of niacin safely… without lining Big Pharma’s pockets.

I’ve been prescribing niacin for years. I have tested its effectiveness in thousands of patients in my 20 years practicing medicine.

And in study after study, niacin has proven itself to be a heart health warrior.2,3 For instance, I just came across an advance copy of a breakthrough study. It’s from the prestigious journal Atherosclerosis.

In a group with low HDL,4 niacin improved heart health markers across the board, including:

--24% increase in HDL—the heart-healthy “good” cholesterol

--35% increase in adiponectin, the hormone that melts fat away

--38% decrease in LDL

--12% decrease in triglycerides, the real culprit behind clogged arteries

First, start with a diet that boosts your intake of vitamin B3. Foods rich in niacin include liver, chicken, beef, avocadoes, tomatoes, and nuts. As always, stick with grass-fed meat, free-range chicken, and organic produce and nuts.

Second, supplements are a great way to go. In this case, it’s crucial you take the right dose—and limit how much is in your body at any given time. I recommend taking 500 mg of “sustained release” niacin.

Taking a bit too much can lead to “flushing”. So you may want to start with every other day and slowly work up. In my clinic, I often gradually increase to up to 2 grams per day.

WHO Admits to Releasing Pandemic Virus into Population via 'Mock-Up' Vaccines

2009-09-06T19:10:00.006-04:00

Posted by: Dr. Mercola
September 03 2009

The document on the WHO website linked below states that it is common procedure to release pandemic viruses into the population in order to get a jump ahead of the real pandemic, so as to fast track the vaccine for when it is needed.

In Europe, some manufacturers have conducted advance studies using a so-called "mock-up" vaccine. Mock-up vaccines contain an active ingredient for an influenza virus that has not circulated recently in human populations and thus mimics the novelty of a pandemic virus.

According to the website, “Such advance studies can greatly expedite regulatory approval.”

The Effect of Sunlight on Consumer Behavior

2009-09-06T14:48:00.001-04:00

We have all heard stories about how weather affects our mood. As someone who wishes to move to the Promised Land (Southern California) and who hails from sunny Lebanon but who has resided in cold and dark Montreal, I am only too well aware of this reality. The link between weather and mood can in some instances result in a clinical condition known as seasonal affective disorder, typically treated by exposure to artificial light sources. Of relevance to consumer behavior, researchers have found that mood can have a profound effect on a wide-range of consumption-related phenomena (e.g., how we respond to ads, and how we process product information). Accordingly since weather affects mood, and mood affects consumption, does weather affect consumption? Kyle B. Murray, Fabrizio Di Muro, Adam Finn, and Peter Popkowski Leszczyc have a paper under review at the Journal of Marketing Research that precisely seeks to explore this causal relationship. Incidentally, several years ago, in one of my undergraduate classes of Consumer Behavior, a group of students had tackled this exact problem and had obtained some interesting albeit preliminary findings.

Whatever Happened To Personal Responsibility?

2009-08-24T22:11:00.006-04:00

By James Arthur Ray

Dealing with Cause versus Effect

Unless you've been under a rock for the last month, you've heard politician after politician speaking about the issues of health care. While Obama says health care is an important item on his agenda, I beg to differ. Now don't get me wrong, I think his and many others' intentions are good. However, there's a lack of understanding around how this universe works.

If you're familiar at all with my work, you should know by now that "energy flows where attention goes." Notice where the attention is focused in most (if not all) conversations regarding health care. Pay attention, and you'll quickly realize the conversations are not focused on health at all... They're focused on addressing sickness.

All the hoopla regarding death panels, rationing and discontinuing Medicare is the conversation about what to do with people who are sick. Do we let them die or live? Are they worth saving or not? Is this a conversation about health? I think not. The study of how to address sickness is not an advocacy, nor a solution, for health.

I pay a pretty penny already for health insurance that rarely if ever gets used. At the same time, I spend a small fortune (outside of my insurance plan) on proactive health-sustaining solutions such as massage, acupuncture, nutritional supplementation, gym membership, organic foods and much more. All of which my health care provider refuses to pay. My insurance company is laughing all the way to the bank.

In my letter to the president when he took office (click here to read it), I suggested we usher in a new era of responsibility. So far, I haven't seen it in any great measure, and this issue extends beyond health care alone.

Banks and automotive companies that ran their business irresponsibly were bailed out with little accountability or with few constructs being put in place. In other words, "You screwed up, but you're not responsible or being held accountable."

I don't know about you, but if I make poor financial decisions in my personal life or business, I've never found anyone (much less the government) ready to bail me out. I currently have a pretty hefty tax bill due to the state of California, and I'm pretty sure they're not going to let me off.

And now, we're consumed with sick care. I'm not too excited to pay for a lung cancer case obtained by smoking two packs of Marlboros per day. What part of "smoking has been proven to cause lung cancer" is unclear?

Likewise, I'm not excited to pay for triple bypass for a person who's spent a lifetime eating burritos, Krispy Kreme and Snickers, whose idea of a workout is clicking the remote on their television.

If I sound insensitive, I apologize. Those who know me know I'm very sensitive to the needs of others. And please understand that needs and wants are not always the same thing.

Sometimes true sensitivity and love is not continuing to enable individuals to continue with the behaviors that got them in a painful situation to begin with. I don't think many parents would allow their small children the opportunity to continually place their hands upon a hot stove.

I realize there are exceptions, but the rule is that smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. Heart disease is the number one killer overall, and I submit it's largely due to the inability to handle our emotions properly. We don't need more economic stimulus nearly as much as we need a mental and emotional stimulus.

And obesity quickly is approaching the number one cause of death in America. According to the CDC, about 300,000 people per year--25,000 per month, 5,769 per week, 821 per day, 34 per hour--die of obesity.

While I care tremendously about the needs of others, I care enough to believe in the age old saying, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

What we need in this world is to quit giving people fish, which enables them in the same disempowering behavior that got them in the predicament to begin with. On this same issue of responsibility and cause versus effect, I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention that most welfare recipients in this country are second- and third-generation welfare recipients. We need to incent and reward individuals to learn how to fish!

I'd love to see the Obama administration give an incentive to business owners to buy gym memberships for their team. Or what if we gave an incentive to the individual who took proactive measures to stay healthy?

I got my annual physical last week, and my doctor gladly told me that all my vitals and hormone levels (which I get checked regularly) are at the level of a 28 year old. I'm sure you're aware that my physical chronology is a few years more than that. But health is not about chronology.

Lest you think I boast or that I'm just lucky--think again. Luck has nothing to do with it, and I'm not boastful... I'm grateful. I work my tail-feathers off to take premium care of the body the Creator has given me. If I can travel over 200 days per year and eat healthfully and get a workout in every single day, anyone can. It's people like me that keep the insurance companies in fat city.

What if we restructured insurance plans to pay for alternative measures that actually increase health versus measures that address the effect of neglect?

Emerson stated, "Health is our greatest wealth." He's absolutely correct, yet so few focus on it until it's in jeopardy.

Since I'm not holding my breath that our governmental or collective societal focus is going to turn around all too quickly, let me give you some suggestions for taking personal responsibility that will pay off for you. Here are a few quick tips to add more years to your life and, more importantly, more life to your years.

1. Start a daily meditation practice. This can be as little as 10-20 minutes but research has proven the stress-relieving and health benefits. Not to mention, it's been proven to extend your life.

2. Have an empowering social network. If your friends are what I call "energy vampires," always having drama and complaints in their life and always focusing on the negative, you're going to get sucked in. Conversely, if you choose your friends wisely, invest time with those who are inspired by life and have a grand purpose to fulfill, you'll be more inspired as well.

3. Make your home a sanctuary. Your home should be filled with the things that make you feel peaceful, and it should create an environment that you can't wait to "come home" to.

4. Workout regularly. Do something for your cardiovascular health, your flexibility as well as your strength at least 3-4 times per week. You'll feel better, look better and have more physical and mental stamina.

5. Eat to live, don't live to eat. While many foods available may taste good, their nutritional value often ranks right up there with cardboard. Keep your diet high in lean proteins, avoid red meat and fats and get plenty of greens. Greens are living foods filled with energy, and if you want to have high energy, you can't get too much of them.

When we individually begin taking more personal responsibility for our own health and our own lives in every area, we feel more empowered, more inspired and alive and more in control. Transforming our government and our world begins with transforming our self.

That's how you and I change the world.

Single Payer Option: My letter to my US Representative

2009-08-02T14:44:00.005-04:00

Dear Congressman Michael E. McMahon,

I am a voting member in your district. I am without health insurance and am taking a very active roll in the current discussion of health care for all Americans.

I do not like HR 3200 in its current form as it is currently written. I think a much easier and more fair bill is HR 676. I fully support the Single Payer option instead of letting the Health Insurance Industry and Health Insurance Lobby have control in the decision of health insurance coverage for all American citizens.

Will you look into and support HR 676?

Please take a look at the two websites for a better understanding of this option

Thank you for your time in reading this letter and I look forward to hearing from you.

Tiny Seed With a Powerful Health Punch

2009-02-22T16:08:00.004-05:00

Surprising fact number-one: The hair that sprouts on the cultishly famous Chia Pets comes from an ancient grain whose Latin name is Salvia hispanica. Surprising fact number-two: Eating the seeds that are packed onto those clay figurines may help with blood sugar control, reduce insulin resistance, and improve cardiovascular risk factors for people with type 2 diabetes.

Used as both food and medicine by the Aztecs and Mayans, chia is rich in the omega-3 oil known as alpha linolenic acid. In fact, the word chia means oily. The seeds are also an excellent source of fiber, with 10 grams per ounce, and they contain protein, calcium, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Chia is available in health food stores as seeds, oil, or oil capsules. It’s sold under the names of chia, Salvia hispanica, or Salba®, a brand name.

Melamine found in U.S. formula

2008-12-01T03:06:00.003-05:00

You probably assumed your baby was safe from melamine-tainted formula because you don't live in China. Turns out that's not the case.

On Tuesday of this week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that it found the toxic chemical melamine in infant formula made by an American manufacturer. It later came out that trace levels of melamine or a chemical by-product of melamine was discovered in formula made by the three biggest U.S. manufacturers: Abbot Labs, maker of Similac; Mead Johnson, maker of Enfamil; and Nestle, maker of Good Start. These brands comprise 90 percent of all formula sold in the United States. Read More....

How to live to 114 (in theory)

2008-10-24T15:21:00.002-04:00

Doctors can now tell us which habits may extend our lives – and just how much extra time they give us.

By Roger Dobson
Tuesday, 21 October 2008
People who are happy, having an active sex life, and who avoid debts, outlive the miserable, abstainers and the poor, as do chocolate eaters, churchgoers and vegetarians. New research shows exactly how many years longer people can live by adopting healthy behaviours – from stopping smoking and losing weight to eating less meat and being positive.

A Harvard University study that monitored 600 people for 60 years shows that seven lifestyle factors are key to determining how well we age – avoiding alcohol abuse, not smoking, having a stable marriage, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, developing good coping mechanisms and pursuing education

Heal Autism

2008-09-30T22:10:00.001-04:00

Book Description From Amazon.com

When Jenny McCarthy published Louder Than Words, the story of her successful efforts to save her son, Evan, from autism, the response was tremendous. It hit #3 on the New York Times bestseller list; and Jenny and Evan were featured on the covers of several magazines, including People. But what she hadn’t anticipated was the overwhelming response from other parents of autistic children, who sought her out to share their stories.

No two autistic children heal in exactly the same way. And in her new book, Jenny expands her message to share recovery stories from parents across the country. Mother Warriors, shows how each parent fought to find her own child’s perfect “remedy of interventions” and teaches parents how to navigate safely through the many autism therapies.

Along the way, Jenny shares her own journey as an autism advocate and mother as well as the progress of her son, Evan. Emotional and genuinely practical, Mother Warriors will inspire a generation of parents with hope.

Success with type II diabetes and connecting emotionally: Our gratitude to Marta, from the Czech Republic, for this quality case wherein type II diabetes is materially improved after emotional work with EFT. She says, "After this week of EFT sessions, my client went to see his doctor for a medical check. His blood sugar dropped from an average of 460 to 190 and his blood pressure dropped as well. His doctor had no explanation for this improvement - this was a patient with previous medical report of his pancreas working at only 30%! But the improvement was there and 5 months later still persists."

Persistence with EFT despite the appearance of abreactions: People bring all kinds of emotions and reactions into an EFT session and some of these can be extreme. Generally speaking, EFT newcomers should avoid such extreme cases until they have more experience. Ted Robinson is a seasoned EFT'er and shares with us how he handles a case with an unusual reaction.

Using EFT with a rebellious teen: Kim Eisen exhibits first class rapport skills with her rebellious client and applies EFT to the real reasons for the rebellion. She says, "In 15 short years she had accumulated so much distress and worked harder and harder to become perfect for them [her parents], that she finally broke down and her only apparent choice was rebellion, beyond what we might call the 'normal' teenage rebellion. When I brought her out of my office, she actually was kind to her mother and just wanted to go home and sleep. Her mother told me later that on the way home, she just talked about how cool it was and she wanted to come back. And, she will."

Trigeminal Neuralgia - perhaps the worst pain known to medical science - disappears after addressing core issues with EFT: Those who doubt that unresolved negative emotions show up as physical symptoms should immerse themselves in this fascinating article by Christine Hines from the UK. Note how she uses EFT for routine pain management but, in the face of current intense emotions, her pain was so intense that she had to search for core issues. Once found, of course, the pain disappears. Stories like these appear frequently on our website. You are encouraged to print them out, create a book from them and give them to your physician(s).

A craving for chocolate and the true reason behind it: Addictive cravings sometimes represent a crying out for love. You can usually identify such cases when a few rounds of EFT directed at cravings has only minimal impact. That's because there's a bigger emotional need that drives the cravings. This article by Gabriele Rother from Germany illustrates this beautifully. Note how she weaves in SPECIFIC EVENTS in the latter part of the session with her client.

EFT for back strain: Sejual Shah gives us a straightforward use of EFT for a friend's back strain. It's important to recognize that this type of relief is not limited to back strains. It applies to just about any strain (or pain) you can name.

Persistence pays for chronic health problems: Here's a good example of how persistent detective work can bring benefits when you are seemingly stuck.

It is particularly useful when blended with EFT. Fortunately, we have Don Blackerby among us who has advanced skills in both methods. Listen in as he gives us important details about the all-important rapport process.

Finding a core issue driving OCD: The conventional treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) typically involves drugs and/or endless hours of therapy sessions. With EFT, however, we look for unresolved emotional issues that drive the unwanted behaviors and, once these core issues are collapsed, the behaviors subside. In this article, note how Figen Genco keeps looking for an important core issue and eventually finds one. More sessions may be necessary to locate more core issues, but the way this one is discovered is well worth reading.

EFT and nail biting. A one minute wonder: Addictions, including fingernail biting, often require some detective work to find and collapse underlying emotional causes.

Much can be done with EFT regarding suicide tendencies but professional assistance should also be sought under such circumstances.
