 Super gonorrhea: treating it may actually speed up the spread of the diseaseBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, June 15 2016
(NaturalNews) Hospitals and medical clinics are having a difficult time containing the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea, a bacterial infection which causes painful urination and discharge from the genitals, among other distressing symptoms.
The CDC now admits: "Gonorrhea has progressively developed resistance to the antibiotic drugs prescribed to treat it." Antibiotic resistance has become so troublesome that patients are now being diagnosed with a form of "super gonorrhea" which doesn't...

 Whistleblower: EPA scientists paid off by oil and gas industry to conceal toxic fracking emissionsBy Isabelle Z., June 14 2016
(NaturalNews) An explosive new federal complaint finally sheds some light on the great mystery of why exactly the EPA, which is tasked with protecting the environment, inexplicably sits back and allows the fracking industry to destroy the earth.
According to the environmental watchdog group NC WARN based out of North Carolina, the data regarding toxic emissions from fracking has been the subject of a long-term and systematic cover-up that involved payoffs from the gas and oil industry to at least...
 Fukushima radiation blamed for spike in U.S. sailor deaths; 400 veterans suffering serious, debilitating illnessesBy J. D. Heyes, June 14 2016
(NaturalNews) The death and sickness toll for U.S. sailors who were aboard an American aircraft carrier sent to assist the Japanese government in the hours and days following the March 2011 meltdown of nuclear reactors at Fukushima is growing, with scores more continuing to come forward.
Japan's Kyodo news agency is reporting that the Japanese former prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi, has lent his support to a group of about 400 U.S. sailors who have filed suit against the operator of the Fukushima...
 SHOCK FINDING: 30 percent of U.S. military damaged by anthrax vaccineBy Isabelle Z., June 14 2016
(NaturalNews) The topic of vaccines tends to inspire strong feelings in people one way or the other, and the admissions made by a CDC whistleblower in the recent documentary VAXXED certainly added fuel to the fire. However, one aspect of the vaccine debate that many people can agree on is that forcing experimental vaccines on anyone is a questionable practice at best.
In one of the most egregious examples of this, the FDA used its authority to force American military personnel to get an experimental...
 Depressed SeaWorld orca captured from wild attempts suicide during performance at Spanish zoo in shocking videoBy Isabelle Z., June 14 2016
(NaturalNews) People visiting Loro Parque on the Spanish island of Tenerife last month witnessed a performance that they will likely never forget. During a show at the waterpark and zoo, an orca named Morgan beached herself on a concrete slab in a move that is associated with whale suicide.
Heartbreaking video footage of the incident shows the depressed whale beaching herself on the concrete slab and lying motionless for more than ten minutes after performing in a show at the park on May 16. She...

The increases will affect more than half a million Texans who are now enrolled in Blue Cross Blue Shield - if approved, the new rates will go into effect in 2017.

 The 6 most popular toxins Americans coat their bodies with, and then wonder why they're suffering from inflammation, rashes, skin allergies and cancerBy S. D. Wells, June 14 2016
(NaturalNews) Millions of health enthusiasts around the world crosscheck everything they eat and drink, along with all of their medicines, for toxic ingredients that can cause a whole host of health problems. This is nothing new. However, if you were to go into their homes, into their bathrooms, and start opening drawers and cabinets, and flipping personal care products over to read the ingredients, you would find the majority of those products contain the very same toxins these folks are doing their...
 Landslides loaded with toxic heavy metals pour into waterways, causing mass fish kills; experts blame frackingBy Daniel Barker, June 14 2016
(NaturalNews) A series of "unusual" landslides that have released massive amounts of toxic sludge into British Columbia's Peace River are suspected to have been caused by fracking operations in the area.
Thanks to these fracking operations,plumes of toxic waste containing heavy metals including lead, arsenic, cadmium, lithium and barium, have made their way into the environment. These toxins have killed all of the fish along several kilometers of Brenot and Lynx creeks, which are located just...
 Nutrition the primary factor in determining lifelong health in childrenBy J. D. Heyes, June 14 2016
(NaturalNews) Most new parents understand instinctively that newborns are needy little people who must be nurtured and cared for, and one of the ways that we do that is by feeding them properly. Nutrition has always been important, per se, for newborns so they grow to be healthy toddlers, and that seems self-evident.
But a new book by journalist Roger Thurow says that the first 1,000 days of a child's life are critical in ensuring that he or she will achieve maximum health over the course of their...
 Should healthcare companies be forced by govt. to provide transition-related care for transgenders?By Julie Wilson staff writer, June 14 2016
(NaturalNews) The logic behind what actually constitutes a human right has become increasingly blurred, particularly in the wake of the Obama administration's sweeping directive to force all U.S. school districts to comply with what the Feds deem "transgender bathroom rights."
As a result, restrooms across the nation, both on public and private property, have become gender neutral. It is my belief that those suffering the most in all of this are women, as they have been stripped of their right...
 Dilbert comic strip creator: Hillary Clinton is a 'pharmacological grab-bag' constantly doped up on pharma drug cocktailBy J. D. Heyes, June 14 2016
(NaturalNews) The mainstream media is doing all it can to try to ignore the fact that there is something wrong with Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton. The woman can't go a week during her campaign without, at some point, coughing her head off.
In recent days The American Thinker published a piece by Thomas Lifson noting the phenomenon, how frequent it is, and posing questions as to what could be the problem.
"Hillary Clinton, who suffered a brain injury so severe that it affected...

 Health Ranger issues 9-point survival alert for all awakened Americans: ISIS now at war with America... P.C. culture of denial resulting in mass bloodshedBy Mike Adams, June 13 2016
(NaturalNews) Natural News does not cover politics as a news focus, yet in the wake of the massacre of 50 innocent Americans in Orlando, I feel a strong humanitarian responsibility to warn all Natural News readers about the danger we all now face due to our federal government's runaway incompetence and abandonment of fundamental national security priorities.
Incompetence doesn't even begin to describe it, actually. What is being exhibit today by Obama and the rest of the regime in power is pure...
 Bombshell study admits antidepressants increase suicide attempts in teens and are completely worthless for treating depressionBy Julie Wilson staff writer, June 13 2016
(NaturalNews) A bombshell study published in the medical journal The Lancet admits what Natural News and others in the holistic health community have been reporting for years: antidepressants kill. On Wednesday, researchers published the most comprehensive analysis to date of the safety and efficacy of widely prescribed antidepressants in children and teens.
What they found is that the majority of antidepressants prescribed to young people have far more risks than benefits, doing essentially nothing...
 Militarized USDA and EPA using SWAT teams to terrorize innocent people including lemon growers and small farmersBy Daniel Barker, June 13 2016
(NaturalNews) The federal government is becoming increasingly militarized, with numerous agencies now employing their own SWAT teams to conduct raids on raw milk producers, beekeepers, lemon growers - or anyone else who runs afoul of agency policies.
The trend has increased during Obama's presidency and is not only costing taxpayers enormous amounts of money, but also terrorizing citizens who could hardly be considered dangerous criminals by any sane estimation.
The USDA is just one example...
 Winning! Majority of adults now reject government's pro-vaccine narrativeBy Isabelle Z., June 13 2016
(NaturalNews) Americans are growing increasingly wary of the health dangers associated with vaccines, and the numbers show that many adults are simply choosing not to take the risk and forgoing certain vaccinations altogether.
A CDC report entitled "Surveillance of Vaccination Coverage Among Adult Populations – United States, 2014" breaks down the percentages of people getting immunizations, and they note that the numbers have not been improving in recent years.
The report states: "Despite...
 EPA proposes raising biofuel levels in gasoline yet again; experts predict damage to 90 percent of U.S. carsBy J. D. Heyes, June 13 2016
(NaturalNews) Two things are idiotic about the Obama Environmental Protection Agency's newest plan regarding the adjustment of biofuel levels in gasoline: 1) It is yet another financial intrusion into our lives we can do without; and 2) In a world where hundreds of millions go to bed hungry every night, it is completely asinine to burn up a food source (corn-to-ethanol).
And yet, none of these points matter. As reported by WorldNetDaily, the EPA wants to raise the level of biofuels added to gasoline...
 Top 9 vaccines you NEVER need and exactly why the CDC has to scare everybody into getting themBy S. D. Wells, June 13 2016
(NaturalNews) Sure, we live in a capitalistic country, and more power to the people who run businesses and make a good living selling goods and services. But, all of those who knowingly make money off other people's demise should be shut down and fined, and maybe even jailed. That rule of thumb should go for companies, organizations and corporations too, not to mention regulatory agencies, but that's more of a utopian world, that doesn't exist, and from the looks of things, probably never will.

(NaturalNews) They are being touted as devices that make electricity use and distribution much more efficient, but to cybersecurity experts they are increasingly being viewed as just the latest threat that a hacker could exploit.
As reported by the UK's Express newspaper online, families throughout the country are going to be at risk of having their power turned off by a "rogue programmer" who could hack into new smart meters set to be installed on 52 million properties by 2020.

 Gardening when your life depends on it: five food production strategies that may keep you alive during hard timesBy J. D. Heyes, June 13 2016
(NaturalNews) Few of us like to think about what life would be like if our society were to break down, even temporarily, due to internal or external factors like war, insurrection, famine or natural disaster.
But most of us do indeed plan for the worst, don't we? That's why we purchase health, homeowners, life, automobile, flood and other types of insurance, right?
We ought to add "food insurance" to that list, and that's the concept behind "gardening when your life depends on it."

 Physicians prescribe useless antibiotics to acute bronchitis patients 70 percent of the timeBy Ethan A. Huff, June 13 2016
(NaturalNews) Adding to the growing antibiotic resistance epidemic is the longtime practice among conventional doctors of prescribing antibiotics for acute bronchitis, a viral disease that does not even respond to the drugs. A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reveals that physicians routinely prescribe antibiotics for acute bronchitis up to 80 percent of the time, even though that rate should be zero percent, based on the science.

 Fluoride is a neurotoxic chemical waste byproduct that damages bones and brain functionBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, June 13 2016
(NaturalNews) An estimated 200 million people around the world are being unanimously medicated without consent. Many water sources around the world are intentionally tainted with fluoride byproducts because they are believed to provide a medical benefit. According to the CDC, "community water fluoridation has been a safe and healthy way to effectively prevent tooth decay."
In the past 65 years, fluoridation of municipal water sources has been the norm. Its side effects and long-term risks are...
 Migraine sufferers at higher risk of strokeBy J. D. Heyes, June 13 2016

In the new study, people who have a history of migraines were at double the risk of ischemic silent brain infarction compared to people who did not suffer from migraines. Silent brain infarction is a brain injury that is caused most often by a blood clot interrupting blood flow...
 Political correctness now a deadly epidemic: Islamic terrorist kills 50+ at gay bar in Orlando but media reluctant to call it terrorismBy Mike Adams, June 12 2016
(NaturalNews) Over 50 people have been killed at a gay bar in Orlando as a gunman being invested for "ties to Islamic terrorism" opened fire late last night. News of the slaughter is exploding across the media today, but here's what they won't dare report.
First of all, over the last 2-3 years, any person who claimed that radical Islam posed any danger whatsoever to the safety of U.S. citizens was called an intolerant bigot by the political left. This was all part of the "political correctness...

 Discover the baking soda and lemon juice combination that eradicates cancer cells better than prescription Doxil and AdriamycinBy David Gutierrez, June 12 2016
(NaturalNews) If you are looking for a daily tonic to improve your overall health and lower your risk of cancer, look no further than a simple combination of lemon juice and baking soda. Lemon is a potent superfood filled with cancer-fighting compounds.
In addition, alkaline diet theory classifies both lemon and baking soda as pH-raising foods. The idea is that certain foods either make your body more acidic (lower pH) or more alkaline (higher pH), with an alkaline environment ideal for preventing...
 Just a single prescription of antibiotics can disrupt brain cell communication and lead to a higher risk of depressionBy Isabelle Z., June 12 2016
(NaturalNews) The overuse of antibiotics has been heavily criticized for causing the proliferation of drug-resistant superbugs, but few people have drawn a strong connection between this class of drugs and mental health – until now.
Researchers from Tel Aviv University uncovered this surprising link after studying health records of more than a million Brits. Their study, which was published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, found that just a single course of antibiotics boosted a person's...
 What is triclosan in toothpaste? Learn about this carcinogenic substance so you can get it out of your daily routineBy J. D. Heyes, June 12 2016
(NaturalNews) Cancer is everywhere these days, it seems, and much of it is attributable to our modern lives: It is found in the foods we eat, caused by the devices we use and is ever present in the air we breathe.
And now, it seems, it is even in our toothpaste – a brand you may be using without even knowing it is likely carcinogenic.
As reported by Newsweek, the ingredient is a germicide known as triclosan, which is found in Colgate Total, a much-used brand manufactured by Colgate-Palmolive...

 WARNING: If you're juicing non-organic produce, you're just poisoning yourself with a pesticide cocktailBy Mike Adams, June 11 2016
(NaturalNews) I have an important warning today for all those people who are poisoning themselves to death by juicing non-organic produce: STOP what you are doing and think for a minute about how juicing really works.
Juicing is an extraction technology that pulls liquids and nutrients out of fresh produce items like apples, carrots, celery and greens. One of the things I've learned as the lab science director of CWC Labs is that most pesticides are water soluble, meaning they are extracted with...
 Top 7 reasons chemotherapy fails more than 97% of the time, creating new cancers in the body and crippling the chances of true recoveryBy S. D. Wells, June 11 2016
(NaturalNews) First of all, most cancers are created by consuming chemicals, and those cancer cells exist in the blood and can travel throughout the body. So what's the use of going "under the knife" to cut out some flesh when that same person keeps eating, drinking, applying and injecting chemicals that cause more cancers? Answer: None.
Plus, tumors are actually one of the body's way of containing cancer cells, and when surgeons attempt to cut them out, they often let many of those cells escape...
 Censoring science: Arizona VA hospital stonewalls doctor's attempt to lecture staff about the benefits of cannabis for PTSD sufferersBy Isabelle Z., June 11 2016
(NaturalNews) Many veterans who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have found relief from their symptoms in the form of cannabis. Although this treatment shows a lot of promise in dealing with a very complex and debilitating disorder, it would appear that the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Medical Center is not interested in sharing information about the subject with the people who could be helped most by it.
A Phoenix doctor who is carrying out a study into the effects of marijuana...
 Scientists fighting smoking-related cancer deaths shocked to learn their pensions are invested in Big TobaccoBy Daniel Barker, June 11 2016
(NaturalNews) Researchers in the UK who have dedicated their careers to fighting cancer were shocked to learn that their pension funds have invested hundreds of millions in Big Tobacco.

The BAT investment is the pension fund's fifth biggest equity...
 Pot-bellied men face higher risk of prostate cancer, say Oxford scientistsBy Isabelle Z., June 11 2016
(NaturalNews) Being overweight can increase a person's risk of many diseases, and where that weight is carried is also significant. A new study out of the University of Oxford shows that for every extra 4 inches that men carry around their waistline, their chances of developing deadly prostate cancer jump by 18 percent. In addition, having a high body mass index (BMI) raises a man's chances of dying from a fatal strand of prostate cancer.
The comprehensive study looked at more than 140,000 men...
 ICP-MS mass spectrometry explained by the Health RangerBy S. Johnson, June 11 2016
(NaturalNews) Most people value food for its taste, but at the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, it's valued for its data. Here, Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, and colleagues unearth the toxic metals hidden in our food, which would otherwise go unnoticed by the untrained eye. But the process doesn't just involve flipping a switch. The technology behind the Forensic Food Lab mirrors a small particle collider, which detects toxic elements by breaking food down to its fundamental parts.

 Selective compassion: In rush to shower benefits upon illegals, Democrats abandon U.S. homeless and veteransBy J. D. Heyes, June 11 2016
(NaturalNews) Democrats are falling all over themselves to offer all kinds of goods, services and benefits to the hordes of illegal aliens pouring across the southwestern U.S. borders in Texas and Arizona, but they have so far shown little similar compassion for American veterans and homeless persons, even after the VA was recently outed as having some vets die while awaiting care.
Such examples include efforts by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who has convened with a number of non-profit organizations...
 FLASHBACK: Federal judge orders Arizona to issue driver's licenses to thousands of illegal immigrantsBy J. D. Heyes, June 11 2016
(NaturalNews) Another nail in the coffin of the once-great nation that was America occurred just recently, thanks to a ruling by a federal judge in a case that should never have even made it to court.
As reported by The Associated Press (AP), U.S. District Judge David Campbell cleared the way for thousands of young illegal immigrants in Arizona who were protected from deportation by President Obama's executive action to now be able to apply for and receive driver's licenses.

 The ultimate antibiotic: oregano... Why you should get some now to help protect you during hard timesBy Isabelle Z., June 9 2016
(NaturalNews) Antibiotics have been getting a lot of bad press lately – and for good reason. Besides their many harmful effects, they are vastly over-prescribed, and are leading to the evolution of deadly superbugs that can't be killed. This is leading many people to seek out natural alternatives, and one of the best herbs that boasts antibiotic properties is oregano.
If you've ever wondered how people survived before modern medicine, the answers can be found growing in the world's mountains...
 Stop Lyme disease - How one woman was curedBy Jonathan Landsman, June 9 2016
(NaturalNews) More than 300,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme disease in the United States - each year. Sadly, many more suffer from this disease but get misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome or any number of the so-called 'psychiatric' conditions.
In addition, chronic Lyme disease is poorly treated by Western medicine due to the ineffective logic of prescribing antibiotics and other drugs that actually compromise immune function and increase the risk of...
 Forbes.com is a bigger, nastier internet bully than Gawker: fraudulent journalism, fabricated 'facts' and hit pieces against anti-GMO activistsBy S. D. Wells, June 9 2016
(NaturalNews) If you don't already waste your time reading gossip "news," don't start now. The American blog Gawker attracts over 20 million readers a month who enjoy reading lies about celebrities and plagiarized, illegally obtained information that the media industry seems to gobble up. Founded by Nick Denton and Elizabeth Spiers in 2003, Gawker posts crude videos to garner attention and completely lacks any journalistic integrity, but that sheer and unmitigated absence of rectitude is dwarfed...
 Antidepressants consumed during pregnancy lead to longer umbilical cords... which means less oxygen for your babyBy Amy Goodrich, June 9 2016
(NaturalNews) Although most people consider pregnancy a time of happiness and joy, that's not the reality for all mothers-to-be. Depression affects up to 19 percent of pregnant women. Approximately 7 to 9 percent of expectant mothers consume antidepressants during pregnancy.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drugs are the most commonly prescribed antidepressants. According to a recently published study in the journal PLOS ONE, use of SSRI antidepressants may result in a lengthening...
 Utah Senator threatens to yank U.S. peace money from Colombia after nation tries to make expensive leukemia drug more affordableBy Isabelle Z., June 9 2016
(NaturalNews) The Colombian government recently announced that it plans to override the patent held by Novartis AG on a popular cancer medication and open it up for generic drug makers unless the pharmaceutical firm agrees to a price cut.
Colombia says its universal healthcare system's budget is under severe strain, and issuing the compulsory license can be considered an allowable exception to patent rules on the grounds that it is a matter of public interest.
The drug, imatinib, is marketed...
 FDA's latest nutrition label 'makeover' warns consumers about calorie counts while ignoring GMOs and toxic chemical additivesBy S. D. Wells, June 9 2016
(NaturalNews) When will the government of the United States of America ever actually help Americans get healthy, and duly inform consumers about all food ingredients by utilizing honest food labels instead of using trickery and deception? Every year, the FDA and the USDA approve more and more food toxins, while covering up the health detriment they cause, all while leading people down a dark corridor of poor health.
Does it really matter if you "count calories" if all those calories are empty...
 Will the world soon no longer have amphibians? Global populations rapidly decreasingBy David Gutierrez, June 9 2016
(NaturalNews) North American amphibian populations are dropping so rapidly that they will have disappeared completely from half of their current habitats within 20 years if the situation does not improve, according to a study led by the U.S. Geological Survey, and published in the journal Scientific Reports.
The findings match overall global trends in amphibian numbers.
Troublingly, the study found that no single cause can be blamed for the crisis. This means there is also no simple solution...
 Portugal decriminalized drugs 14 years ago - and now hardly anyone dies from an overdoseBy L.J. Devon, Staff Writer, June 9 2016
(NaturalNews) In 2001, the government of Portugal made a bold move and decriminalized every kind of street drug, from cannabis to cocaine, to heroin and anything in between. Physiological addictions and psychological attachments to drugs and their highs are no longer treated as criminal offenses in Portugal. Portugal's society has shifted their approach in how they deal with drug issues.
For over a decade now, the country has been treating drug possession and abuse as a public health issue, not...
 'Islamic State' uses water to control population in dry Middle East - is this California's future?By J. D. Heyes, June 9 2016
(NaturalNews) To be clear: There are no similarities between the brutal leadership of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria -- known more simply as the "Islamic State" (IS) -- and the government and people of California. That said, the connection between California's recent drought and the manner in which the Islamic State is use scarce water resources as a weapon of coercion to control its population is worth examining.
In recent weeks, as the IS has consolidated its control over the parts of Syria...
 FLASHBACK: Canadian government directs weathermen to stop talking about climate changeBy J. D. Heyes, June 9 2016
(NaturalNews) On just about any given day you can Google the term climate change and find at least a couple of articles criticizing modernity and bemoaning the end of the world as we know it.
Meteorologists are increasingly entering this doom-and-gloom fray as well, though the Canadian government has just announced that its own staff meteorologists should put the kibosh on the climate-change rhetoric. The idea is that meteorologists are not climatologists; just because someone understands short...
