Following the wisdom of traditional diets, and the observations of Weston A. Price, teeth can be strengthened without resorting to dangerous and costly dental procedures.

Heyes, April 5 2014 (NaturalNews) What lies ahead in the future of personal computing technology? One new bit of research might stun you.
Andrew Adamatzky of the University of the West of England, Bristol, and Theresa Schubert of Bauhaus-University Weimar, in Germany, have constructed logical circuits that exploit networks of interconnected slime mold tubes to process information.

Pumice forms either when super-heated, highly pressurized lava erupts violently from a volcano or when lava strikes water and rapidly cools. In both cases, the lava cools and depressurizes quickly. The falling pressure inside the lava lowers the solubility of trapped gases like carbon dioxide, causing them to separate out as bubbles. At the same time, the rapid cooling...

In a 27-page opinion, the Minnesota Supreme Court described how the man, William Melchert-Dinkel, of Fairbault, Minn., posed as a depressed, suicidal, young female nurse in responses he made to posts on suicide websites by Mark Drybrough of Coventry, England, and Nadia Kajouji of Ottawa, Canada...

D. Heyes, April 4 2014 (NaturalNews) Earlier Natural News reported that the Army specialist who shot and killed three and wounded more than a dozen people at Fort Hood April 2 before taking his own life was taking the powerful delirium drug Ambien.
That was certainly true enough, as we documented, but later reports indicated that the shooter, Spc. Ivan Lopez, was actually on several mind- and mood-altering medications.

The study into 20-year survival rates among children diagnosed with low-grade gliomas was conducted by researchers from Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center and published in the journal Pediatric...

Acid reflux is when stomach acid, mixed with partially digested food or liquids, move into the throat and esophagus of a person, causing irritation.
More than 60 million people in America alone complain of having symptoms of heartburn at least once per week. While suffering from heartburn occasionally is not typically a cause for concern, long-term...

The fire was outside the building where tons of those junked items were stacked 50 yards from the building.
The fact that other fires, a couple causing injuries, were reported within the same time frame in nearby St. George implies that there could be a serial arsonist loose in the area. But that's local impact news. The national...

But there are a number of things which make this victory lap that the White House is taking seem foolish and inherently political; under further scrutiny, it becomes obvious that a number of claims being...

While "Spring and fertility" seem naturally linked at the hip, this "conception" is fast becoming more the "mythic ideal" than the norm. For more and more would-be mothers and fathers, conception just isn't happening when they'd like it to. Why, and what's to be done about it?

Devon, Staff Writer, April 4 2014 (NaturalNews) In the quest for energy and increased production, mankind has sabotaged himself, destroying the very air he breathes. Nature's clean, sustainable, free energy sources have been bypassed, as industry empires rise up, shooting pollution from their stacks and skyscraper pipes.
Air quality is often taken for granted. Since people generally breathe involuntarily, they rarely realize what's going into the body, as the lungs shuffle to take in oxygen.

Miller, April 4 2014 (NaturalNews) Any body, whether it be animal or human, is a more complex creation than it appears. A body can be measured, seen and felt, but it is more than the simply physical. There is an unseen force that drives a body, a subtle life force energy, that separates the living from the dead. This life force, referred to by ancient cultures as qi or prana or some variation of these words, is what ultimately determines the health of a body.
Almost all healing arts recognize the importance of this...

The study, published in the journal Radiation Research, found that the risk of thyroid cancer 18 years after the Chernobyl meltdown was directly related to the amount of radioactive iodine...

Whether it be for chocolate, donuts, salty snacks or refined carbs, our bodies appear to want them -- and we're often all too happy to submit. There's just one problem: Eating these foods doesn't seem to end the cravings. What is going on here? Are our bodies playing a cruel joke on us? Well, not quite.

Well, now a group of concerned scientists and volunteers has started one to track and measure radiation coming from the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, since neither the Japanese nor U.S. governments seem all that concerned...

It is an evergreen tree from South America that produces a type of bark that has been claimed to cure or prevent cancer, along with other illnesses. The scientific name is Tabebuia avellanedae, and the tea that is made from this bark is often referred to as "Pau d'arco," though many alternative names have been used.

Yikes!
But this scene had pretty much actually occurred in real life recently at the Porter and Sons funeral home in Lexington, Mississippi. Holmes County Coroner Dexter Howard had received a phone call from relatives of 78-year-old Walter...

This dangerous illusion probably contributes to tuna's status as the #3 cause of food poisoning in the United States.
The most common cause of seafood-related poisoning is called scombrotoxin, and the condition it causes is called scombroid poisoning.

Ivan Lopez, an Iraq veteran, was taking dangerous mind-altering psych meds, like most other mass killers in recent years.

A recent move by Vermont is attempting to do just that after the state Senate voted 17-11 to require harmful chemicals found in consumer products to be labeled and/or regulated.

It wasn't always this way in the South American nation.
At the turn of the 20th century, Venezuela was one of the poorest economies in Latin America. But by 1970, the country transformed itself into the richest nation in the region, whose economy was larger than some other...

The human version of this disease, known as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), is thought to be contracted by consuming beef products that contain parts of an affected animal's nervous system, such as the spinal cord and brain.
