 Facts about homeschooling show promising resultsBy Fleur Hupston, June 21 2012
(NaturalNews) The numbers of families choosing to homeschool their children has shown a dramatic increase since the 1980s. The number of homeschooled children in the United States is currently estimated to be between 2.5 and 4 million. Many people are critical of the idea of homeschooling, feeling that children who are home educated are somehow at a disadvantage. Yet, the facts and statistics prove otherwise.
Homeschooling is growing at a rate of 5-12 percent per year, according to the National...
 Top four causes of degenerative diseaseBy Jonathan Landsman, June 21 2012
(NaturalNews) Some people might say that the greatest threat to human health is fear, an inability to forgive and a lack of love in our heart. In addition, many health experts simply warn us about the dangers of genetically-engineered foods, chemtrails and over-exposure to radioactive isotopes. Today, let's look at four (basic) areas that could be putting you at risk for disease.

(NaturalNews) Bee balm plants are a showy and fragrant group of plants indigenous to northeastern North America which have long been prized for their medicinal and culinary properties as well as showy flowers which attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Bee balm plants are members of the genus Monarda and grow best in zones 4 - 9.

 DEA agents terrorized the wrong family, including children, after license plate mix-upBy J. D. Heyes, June 21 2012
(NaturalNews) Not that it happens often, but when police and federal agents screw up, they sure seem to do it right.
The agency could be held liable for a botched raid during the early morning hour in 2007, when agents burst into a mobile home in Seely, Calif., guns drawn, after mixing up a suspected drug dealer's license plate.
According to reports, agents smashed their way in, terrorizing Thomas and Rosalie Avina and their two daughters, ages 11 and 14, who lived there.

 Obama's Nixon moment: Executive Order invoked to block release of incriminating Fast and Furious documentsBy Mike Adams, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) The level of outright criminality in the Obama administration is now apparent to almost everyone. In the face of incriminating documents being released regarding the lawbreaking Fast and Furious operation pulled off by Attorney General Eric Holder, President Obama has invoked executive order to prevent their release.
He followed it by saying, "I am not a crook."
Oh wait, that was Nixon. But it's hard to tell the difference anymore except that Nixon's crimes pale in comparison...
 City of Tulsa, Oklahoma, destroys woman's edible landscaping with over 100 varieties of medicinal plantsBy Ethan A. Huff, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) An Oklahoma woman is the latest victim of government terrorism after City of Tulsa code enforcement officials came to her house and illegally tore up her entire edible garden, which contained over 100 varieties of medicinal plants. Denise Morrison was in full compliance with local laws concerning her garden, and yet city officials proceeded to both violate a court order, and willfully deny Denise of her legal right to grow food on her own property by illegally destroying it.

 Economic collapse in Greece is finally sinking into the consciousness of its citizensBy J. D. Heyes, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) Greek citizens may have narrowly avoided an economic catastrophe following a vote this week to remain with the euro, the fact that their country is slipping further towards a financial abyss is becoming more ingrained in their psyche.
On Sunday voters narrowly elected a center-right New Democracy Party to take the reins of power in a country that, besieged by debt and teetering on the brink of insolvency, is literally in chaos. For months now, Greece has only managed to exist, not...
 If you sell your used iPad, you may be a copyright criminal, says U.S. Supreme CourtBy J. D. Heyes, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) There is another copyright battle emerging over intellectual property, and this time you, John or Jane Q. Citizen, could be smack-dab in the middle of it, for one of the most innocuous acts you could imagine - selling your used iPad.
At present the U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to rule on a case that will affect whether you can sell that iPad of yours, or any of dozens of other products, without first getting permission from scores of "copyright holders," The Atlantic magazine...
 Sen. Ron Wyden calls for decriminalization of industrial hemp farmingBy Jonathan Benson, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) There is a prevailing misunderstanding in America today about the difference between marijuana and hemp, both of which are prohibited under federal law from being grown on U.S. soil. Somehow hemp, an industrial crop with virtually no hallucinogenic properties, got lumped in with marijuana in the federal government's overzealous prohibition mandates back in the 1950s, a grave error that Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is hoping to change with a new farm bill amendment he recently proposed...
 Healthy oils suppress Breast CancerBy Dr. Veronique Desaulniers, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) Women that are on the Breast Cancer journey must be clear about certain dietary restrictions. There is the obvious list of "Foods to Avoid", such as sugar, processed foods, and hormone injected meats. However, there seems to be a lot of confusion about what types of oils are beneficial for Breast Cancer suppression and which ones should be avoided.
Let's start with the term HNE, which stands for the fatty acid derived toxin "4-hydroxy-trans-2 nonenal". It is a byproduct that is produced...
 Mediterranean diet not only prevents heart disease and diabetes and improves quality of lifeBy John Phillip, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) Countless studies have conclusively demonstrated that a Mediterranean diet significantly lowers the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and many forms of dementia. Nutrition scientists explain that the diet provides a very well-rounded mix of macronutrients, vitamins and minerals as well as a healthy dose of monounsaturated fats that help reduce levels of harmful inflammation and maintain systemic antioxidant status. In short, the meat-restricted Mediterranean...
 Dozens of autism brains at Harvard hospital found rotting after freezer failureBy Jonathan Benson, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) The autism research industry experienced a major loss recently after it was discovered that a freezer at the Harvard University-affiliated McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass., had failed. According to reports, one-third of "the world's largest collection of autism brain samples" that were being stored in the freezer perished as a result of the malfunction, potentially setting back autism research by as much as a decade.
McLean had been collecting the brains of deceased children and...
 Five health steps the system does NOT want you to takeBy Scott Morefield, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) Let's face it, the system wants you sick. They build giant hospitals, develop expensive pharmaceuticals, and design equipment small governments couldn't afford, all so they can rake in the life savings of hapless victi, er, people who find themselves at the mercy of Big Medical after making poor health choices their entire lives, albeit often choices they were told were good. By the time they are lying in a hospital bed with cancer at 60, waiting for another round of expensive, destructive...
 Only 4% of women worldwide believe they are beautifulBy Mike Bundrant, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) By the age of 14, most girls have succumbed to the insatiable inner critic that tells them they are less than. Yet, the belief that they need to be beautiful is already upon them, pressuring them to measure up. The stage is set for a lifelong battle; working hard to conform to mass media standards of beauty on the one hand, telling themselves they are pathetic and will never be good enough on the other. It's a dilemma that often lasts a lifetime.
The individual that they are, the...
 Folic acid supplementation improves arterial elasticity to lower heart attack riskBy John Phillip, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) A primary cause for the dramatic rise in cardiovascular disease leading to coronary artery disease and heart attack deaths is arterial hardening or loss of elasticity in the delicate endothelial lining of the arteries supplying blood to the heart. Homocysteine is an amino acid that has been associated with arterial hardening and thickening, and high circulating blood levels can double or triple the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Prior research bodies have shown that B...
 The invisible threat that pulls apart DNA, causing genetic disorders and cancerBy D Holt, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) We are all exposed to electromagnetic radiation constantly on a daily basis from mobile phones, Wifi hot spots, power lines and electrical appliances. The sources of this pollution are many and varied, each having its own range of wavelength, frequency and intensity. How does the artificial electromagnetic soup that we bathe in every day affect our most precious gift, our DNA?
Our DNA is a polar molecule which is affected by charged particles and electromagnetic fields, much in the...
 White House photographer beaten, arrested by police for filming abusive arrest of HispanicBy J. D. Heyes, June 20 2012
(NaturalNews) From an imperial presidency to ignoring laws to unimpeded 24/7 surveillance, it sure is beginning to look a lot like the Leviathan police state has replaced the constitutional republic our founding fathers risked everything to create.
To wit: Mannie Garcia, an "award-winning and distinguished professional photographer," has filed suit against Montgomery County, Md., police for arresting him and allegedly "maliciously" prosecuting him for filming them as they took a pair of Hispanic...
 Instead of banning soda, maybe it's time we banned stupid government bansBy Mike Adams, June 19 2012
(NaturalNews) As the Health Ranger, I'm on the record strongly opposing soda consumption. Years ago, I wrote the popular self-help guide, "The Five Soft Drink Monsters," which helps soda addicts get off sodas and transition to healthier drinks like tea or water (http://programs.webseed.com/The_Five_Soft_Drink_Monsters__TV.htm). Yet even I think the sudden wave of interest in nanny-state cities like New York and Cambridge wanting to ban soda sales is pure insanity.
For starters, I'm trying to wrap...
 New York court rules bodily fluids are not deadly weaponsBy Ethan A. Huff, June 19 2012
(NaturalNews) A 48-year-old, HIV-positive New York man who is currently serving a ten-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to assaulting a police officer has officially been vindicated of these charges. Setting a shocking new precedent in the state of New York, a top court in the Empire State has ruled that even though the infected man bit a police officer's finger, exposing him to a potentially deadly virus, neither body parts nor bodily fluids can be considered "dangerous instruments" in...
 Vaccinated children have up to 500% more disease than unvaccinated childrenBy PF Louis, June 19 2012
(NaturalNews) Suspicions have been confirmed for those wary of vaccinating their children. A recent large study corroborates other independent study surveys comparing unvaccinated children to vaccinated children.
They all show that vaccinated children have two to five times more childhood diseases, illnesses, and allergies than unvaccinated children.
Originally, the recent still ongoing study compared unvaccinated children against a German national health survey conducted by KiGGS involving...
 Germ theory delusions collapse as new science reveals healthy people carry 10,000 different germ strains at all timesBy Ethan A. Huff, June 19 2012
(NaturalNews) The human body is essentially a "germ" factory, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. A new study published as a series of reports in the journals Nature and Public Library of Science (PLoS) debunks the widely believed germ theory, or the belief that all germs are "bad," by showing that the average, healthy human body harbors more than 10,000 species of microbes that together maintain microbial balance and promote vibrant health.

 Food freedom alert: City authorities in Ferguson, Mo., threaten to tear down another fully legal front yard gardenBy Jonathan Benson, June 19 2012
(NaturalNews) The city of Ferguson, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, is trying to intimidate local resident Karl Tricamo into removing his organic, front-yard produce garden for what it says are numerous violations of local zoning laws. However, Ferguson's zoning laws do not, in fact, prohibit the type of garden Tricamo cultivates in any way, which means the city is illegally harassing him without reason or justification.
Rather than cultivate a typical grass lawn, which is usually a water- and...

 Watermelon extract lowers blood pressure better than dangerous pharmaceuticalsBy John Phillip, June 19 2012
(NaturalNews) Heart disease and stroke continue to be the leading cause of death in the US, as vascular deterioration and dysfunction result in hypertension and ultimately, an early demise. Elevated blood pressure results in micro-cracks to the delicate endothelial lining of the blood vessels that must be patched by plaque (formed largely of circulating oxidized LDL cholesterol and calcium particles), beginning the process of atherosclerosis and greatly increased risk of heart attack.

 Natural antibacterial alternatives to triclosan & other toxic chemicalsBy Danna Norek, June 19 2012
(NaturalNews) There are several chemicals used today in "antibacterial" personal care and hygiene products which are toxic to the human body. Perhaps the most toxic is one named triclosan. Triclosan is a controversial chemical linked to hormonal disruption and various types of cancer.
Its chemical structure is similar to Agent Orange. Agent Orange is a highly toxic herbicide that was notoriously used to kill foliage during the Vietnam War. It was later linked to high rates of birth defects, neurological...
 Lance Armstrong named in massive 12-year doping conspiracyBy Ethan A. Huff, June 19 2012
(NaturalNews) Former professional road racing cyclist and Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong is the target of a new investigation by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which alleges Armstrong engaged in a "long running doping conspiracy" between 1998 and 2007. Armstrong has already been barred from competing in upcoming Ironman triathlons as a result of the accusations, and if found to be guilty of the charges, he could also lose all seven of his Tour de France titles.

 Nine-year-old girl's lunch blog shames school and local politicians into making changesBy PF Louis, June 19 2012
(NaturalNews) A nine-year-old Scottish girl, Martha Payne, got some help from her dad to set up her blog "Never Seconds," in which she displayed her school's lunches and created her own content about them.
Although the photos of those meals were not flattering, Martha was not decrying her school's food. Instead, her ratings were rather generous.
Martha's dad was amazed at the large international following of her blog. It had accrued 2 million hits and she was raised over $3,100 U.S. for a charity...
 Avoid cancer-causing hormone replacement therapy and treat menopause naturallyBy Healthy Times Newspaper, June 19 2012
(NaturalNews) It's been a long, bewildering decade for menopausal women. First, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was presented as the miracle cure for the difficult symptoms associated with menopause: hot flashes, night sweats, lapses in concentration or memory, vaginal dryness, thinning hair, skin changes, moodiness, etc. For years women flocked to HRT for relief from these symptoms, and in many cases the treatments worked in the short run.
In the latter 1990's a number of studies yielded controversial...
 Stop with the antacids alreadyBy Craig Stellpflug, June 19 2012
(NaturalNews) Have you ever noticed how young people in good health never seem to have indigestion? It is because their stomachs make enough acid to digest their food. But as we age, our stomachs make less and less acid. By the time we are 60 years old, our stomach acid has dropped off up to 75 percent less from when we were 20.
Okay, now think this through. If we are making significantly less stomach acid, then what's up with the billions of bucks we spend on antacids to treat our "acid reflux...
 Premium coconut oil now available at huge discounts for NaturalNews readersBy Mike Adams, June 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Coconut oil is one of the most widely-applicable superfoods available today. Taken internally, its nutritional profile of healthy fatty acids is truly astounding.

 The case for mandatory GMO labeling - even if you believe in limited government and the free marketBy Mike Adams, June 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Now that the GMO labeling ballot measure has been officially accepted onto the California ballot, Monsanto is gearing up its propaganda campaign that aims to convince people you don't need to know what you're eating! Trust us, we're the food companies! We never lie, do we?
For the record, I'm an opponent of most government mandates against individuals. When the government says you have to give your children vaccine shots, that's a violation of your liberty. When Mayor Bloomberg says...
 Security expert admits antivirus industry is unable to address emerging security threatsBy Jonathan Benson, June 18 2012
(NaturalNews) Has the war against malicious spyware, Trojan horses, and other types of nasty computer viruses been lost? One antivirus expert seems to think so, having recently published an opinion piece at Wired.com that basically admits the antivirus industry he represents has failed to catch some of the worst security threats in recent years, including those spawned by both the U.S. and foreign governments as part of cyber-espionage efforts.
Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research Officer at antivirus...
 Associated Press caught lying about water fluoridationBy Ethan A. Huff, June 18 2012
(NaturalNews) It seems as though every time an American town or city drops the added fluoride chemicals from its water supply, the dinosaur media comes out with its usual talking points about how water fluoridation is one of the greatest public health interventions ever granted by the government to its minions, and that without added fluoride chemicals, everyone's teeth would rot right out of their heads.
These are just a few of the many deluded and outdated lies that get repeated over and over...
 Government report: Many vaccines are expired or improperly stored, putting children at serious riskBy Jonathan Benson, June 18 2012
(NaturalNews) A recent report issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office of the Inspector General contains some shocking new information about vaccines. It turns out that millions of vaccines administered to children every single year are being improperly stored at temperatures that are either too high or too low, or are simply past their expiration dates, which could render them ineffective or even dangerous.
The 52-page report, entitled Vaccines for Children Program...
 Proposed international trade rules would give corporations the power to overrule governmentsBy J. D. Heyes, June 17 2012
(NaturalNews) As long and as hard as some nations (especially the United States) have fought through the years to achieve and maintain independence, it's mind-boggling to think they would ever voluntarily surrender that sovereignty. And yet, many seem willing to do just that, according to newly exposed international trade rules that would give transnational corporations the kind of rights once reserved only for governments.
According to a report from the Citizens Trade Campaign (CTC), a "national...
 Radioactive buckyballs from Fukushima invade California beachesBy J. D. Heyes, June 17 2012
(NaturalNews) As the fallout - no pun intended - from Japan's tsunami-damaged nuclear reactors at its Fukushima complex continues to worsen, scientists are now concerned about another related phenomenon that appears to be invading the U.S. West Coast - buckyballs.
What, exactly, are those? According to a recent University of California - Davis study, in this case the term refers to uranium-filled nanospheres which were "created from the millions of tons of fresh and salt water used to try to cool...
 Doctors, patients rarely hear about important drug recallsBy Jonathan Benson, June 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Dozens, if not hundreds, of pharmaceutical drugs are recalled every single year because of contamination or adverse side effects, but many pharmacists and healthcare providers never get the memo. According to a new study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fails to effectively report as many as 40 percent or more of all Class I drug recalls, which are the most serious type.
For their study, a team of researchers from...
 Medicine mafia styleBy Craig Stellpflug, June 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Is your doc on the Big Pharma payroll? Federal whistleblower lawsuits have charged that drug companies reward cash to doctors who dole out prescriptions for their drugs. Big Pharma companies such as Merck and Eli Lilly have disclosed $258 million in payments nationwide in 2009 and the first half of 2010. ProPublica reports $26.4 million dollars paid out to doctors in California in that same period. But these are just totals from the seven pharmaceutical companies while over 1,000 other...
 Licorice root extract proven to decrease liver enzymesBy PF Louis, June 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Analysis of a small sample of blood is used for determining the amount of enzyme production of the liver, thus providing a marker for liver health in general. When the liver is distressed, damaged, or diseased, liver cells leak two specific enzymes into the blood stream.
The enzymes counted for liver function are transaminase enzymes, which are important in the production of various amino acids. Transaminase enzyme concentrations are measured in blood serum. The two types of transaminase...
 How to treat asthma with diet and herbsBy Sarka-Jonae Miller, June 17 2012
(NaturalNews) Over the past three decades the number of people with asthma has increased significantly in the United States and diet may be to blame. Studies show a correlation between poor diet and asthma. People are eating more processed, unnatural foods and fewer things that are good for them. People who eat healthy nutritious foods develop asthma less often than people who eat poorly. Although few doctors acknowledge the link between asthma and diet it does exist. Certain foods and nutrients...
 Seven tips for healthy parentingBy Scott Morefield, June 17 2012
(NaturalNews) In today's 'arrested development' culture where adults go into their 20's and beyond behaving like children while the actual children rule over their squeamish, indecisive parents with little candy-coated fists, the fact that something is seriously wrong couldn't be more clear. We live in society where, for various reasons, parents are unwilling, unable, or simply afraid to properly discipline their children. As a result, many kids today are not only disrespectful, destructive, and...
 Modern-day America spends most of its grocery money on processed foodsBy J. D. Heyes, June 17 2012
(NaturalNews) The "typical" American family has changed over the past 30 years, no question about that. It is smaller, for one thing, and when it does expand parents are waiting until they are older before having kids. There has been a rise in one-parent households as well, which is troubling to some religious leaders and social scientists, and it is becoming more acceptable to also define as a "family" non-traditional unions and relationships.
One thing that has also occurred over the past three...
 Now that we are all toxic - what's next?By Linda Wojcik, June 17 2012
(NaturalNews) That is a statement that should not shock anyone. Between chlorine and fluoride, pesticides and herbicides, our bodies are floating in poisons, and heavy metals are no exception. Some heavy metals are beneficial except when we manage to accumulate too much, in which case they can cause problems. Other heavy metals have absolutely zero known benefits and can cause serious illnesses. Four of the worst offenders are arsenic, lead, mercury and cadmium. Due to the industrialization of America...
 Synthetic diamond material makes code-breaking quantum computing one step closer to realityBy J. D. Heyes, June 17 2012
(NaturalNews) What would it be like to live in a world where there could be no secrets? Where nothing - not even the strongest military-grade encryption programs - would be able to protect private, personal information?
It may seem like we already live in that kind of world, judging by the regular occurrences of having our private information hacked and stolen. But the truth is, most of our information is currently safe. For now.
Researchers are working with synthetic diamond material to dramatically...
 Water supply contaminated with antidepressants may cause autismBy D Holt, June 17 2012
(NaturalNews) A report by the University of Idaho claims that antidepressants in drinking water can trigger the condition in people that have a genetic disposition to Autism Spectrum Disorders. As the UK government dithers over the clean up of the water supply contaminated by pharmaceuticals, the report suggests even small amounts of drugs in the water supply can have devastating effects.
Caroline Hattersley, Head of Information, Advice and Advocacy at The National Autistic Society, said: "It's...
 Reality check: When the power grid goes down, all grid-tie solar systems will go down with itBy Mike Adams, June 16 2012
(NaturalNews) A lot of people believe they are becoming "power independent" by installing grid-tie solar systems, but what many don't realize is that virtually all such systems are designed to actively go offline when the power grid goes offline.
A "grid-tie" solar system is one that ties into the power grid, pulling electricity from the grid when needed, then pushing excess electricity back into the grid when the local customer isn't using the full capacity being generated by PV panels (photovoltaic...
 Olive Garden restaurants treat their workers like crap, says restaurant guideBy J. D. Heyes, June 16 2012
(NaturalNews) If you're like most Americans, you enjoy a meal out once in a while (and not to lecture, but based on the serving sizes restaurants heap on plates, it should be only once in a while). But did you know this 620 billion-dollar-a-year industry offers workers some of the lowest wages and benefits packages, paying workers as little as $2.13 an hour?
According to Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United , an advocacy group seeking to raise awareness about the low pay and poor economic...

 Cure poison ivy naturally with jewelweedBy David Gutierrez, June 16 2012
(NaturalNews) The single most effective remedy for exposure to poison ivy or poison oak may be a plant closely related to the popular garden plants known as impatiens.
Jewelweed, or Impatiens capensis, has long been used as a remedy for skin disorders by indigenous North Americans. It apparently contains chemicals that neutralize the components responsible for the skin-irritating effects of poison oak, poison ivy and other irritants including stinging nettle, insect bites and ringworm.
