In South Africa, for instance they have just experienced one of the worst storms and extreme weather conditions with snow and ice in areas never seen before. A week of the COLDEST freezing weather in 100 years has created a national emergency with roads closed everywhere with thousands...

And just why did scientists feel the need to spend the equivalent of roughly $3 million on this gene-tampering experiment? To allegedly find cures for human diseases, of course, which is the only explanation...

After previously promising that it would destroy all DNA profiles of innocent civilians, except when charges involve violence or sex crimes, the UK government has now decided that it will keep such profiles after all, but do so "anonymously."
DNA profiles are...

Huff, July 29 2011 (NaturalNews) When it comes down to pure consumer preference, the majority of Americans prefer organic food over conventional food, according to the results of a new poll released by NPR. Most Americans also prefer to obtain produce from either a farmers market or from a home garden rather than from a supermarket, which represents an important shift in public awareness concerning food.
NPR conducted its poll via telephone, asking more than 3,000 adults various questions about their organic and...

Huff, July 29 2011 (NaturalNews) You have likely seen them dancing through the air and gracing the petals and leaves of various plants and shrubs. But a new study published in the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity says that the popular Monarch butterfly, which is an absolute necessity for farmers, is on the decline. And the cause? Genetically-modified (GM) crops like corn, soy, and cotton, which today blanket millions of acres of American cropland.
Though not necessarily in the same vein as bees and bats...
Three questions that will reset your moral compass and reveal your self-improvement needsBy Mike Bundrant, July 29 2011 (NaturalNews) There is no shortage of organizations and people in this world that will tell you how you should be living your life. It's easy enough to follow someone else's moral compass if you are so inclined. The most ethical teachers throughout history, however, have instructed us to learn to trust our own inner compass, that internal "sense" of what is right and wrong, or the most appropriate course of action in every situation.
Your inner moral compass is by far the most sophisticated and...

Heyes, July 29 2011 (NaturalNews) They say that flying is the safest way to travel, but who would have thought that it is even safer than visiting a hospital?
Yes it is, according to the World Health Organization, which recently appointed a "health czar" to inform doctors and hospitals to take such earth-shattering measures as washing their hands.
The WHO named Liam Donaldson, Great Britain's former chief medical officer, to combat what the global health watchdog claims is a growing problem around the world -...
Keeping your colon cleanBy Jane Goldberg, July 29 2011 (NaturalNews) It is unfortunate that American doctors have contended for decades that the number of bowel movements an individual has is unrelated to health. They have convinced most of us that they are correct. Most people think that they are not constipated if they are having one bowel movement a day. Yet, we eat three meals a day. Where are the other two meals going if they're not being eliminated through the colon? The answer actually is somewhat frightening. The rest of the food that is not...

The A to Z of the food industry's most evil ingredientsBy Mike Adams, July 28 2011 (NaturalNews) Ever wonder what's really in the food sold at grocery stores around the world? People keep asking me, "What ingredients should I avoid?" So I put together a short list that covers all the most toxic and disease-promoting ingredients in the food supply. These are the substances causing cancer, diabetes, heart disease and leading to tens of billions of dollars in unnecessary health care costs across America (and around the world).

![](http://www.naturalnews.com/gallery/dir/HealthConditions/breastcancer.jpg) Widely used CAD mammography tool fails to find invasive breast cancer, causes needless tests and stressBy S. L. Baker, July 27 2011 (NaturalNews) Computer-aided detection (CAD) technology, which analyzes mammography images and marks suspicious areas for radiologists to review, has been widely hyped and pushed on women as a way to insure invasive breast cancer is spotted on mammograms. And it has grown into a huge industry, adding millions of dollars to the cost of healthcare.
The problem is, CAD simply doesn't work -- at all. That's right. Despite the fact CAD is now applied to the large majority of screening mammograms in...

These days, desperate thieves are choosing bizarre targets: copper wires, air conditioning units, storm drain covers, grapes, ambulances, pain killers and even bees. This petty thievery of agricultural goods and odd supplies is the new norm in a rapidly worsening economy where unemployment is rampant.
The downturn in the economy and record unemployment numbers have created a heightened sense of desperation, which...

This is common news today, the inability to meet payments and the building up of debt. Though many individuals, corporations, towns, cities, states and sovereign governments are in this situation no one has gotten into deeper hock than the United States Government. They have been able to borrow and spend without limit but now they have hit a wall.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says it's "unthinkable" that...

Apparently the hospital never billed Tameka or her mother Holly Bennett for any portion of the girl's stay until after she died, when it proceeded to file a massive claim against her estate.

Heyes, July 27 2011 (NaturalNews) Regulators with the Food and Drug Administration have warned that Multaq, a cardiac drug Sanofi, has been linked with fatal heart problems in a clinical trial the company recently ended.
In the study involving 3,000 patients, 32 who were taking Multaq died from cardiac-related problems compared with 14 who were taking a placebo. In all, nearly twice as many people suffered heart attacks, strokes and death than those in the placebo control group.
Multaq is prescribed to control...

Huff, July 27 2011 (NaturalNews) Throughout the history of agriculture across the globe, farming has always been a diversified sector of the economy. Small, self-sustaining, family farms were the order of the day in most cultures. Even as small farms grew larger and more specialized over time, many of them still saved seeds or purchased them from other farmers, which kept control of farming in the hands of the people.
But today everything has changed, as large chemical and agribusiness firms have acquired or merged...

Obamacare opponents in Ohio collect enough signatures to get constitutional amendment on fall ballotBy Jonathan Benson, July 27 2011 (NaturalNews) After months of collecting signatures to get a constitutional amendment to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, on the November 8 ballot, Ohio residents opposed to the health care overhaul have finally achieved success.

Baker, July 27 2011 (NaturalNews) If you've ever had a relative fade away from you and lose the ability to remember names, faces, events and even how to get dressed or hold a cup of coffee, you know the heartbreaking horror of the disease known as Alzheimer's (AD). And let's face it, the prospect of one day having AD is downright terrifying. Despite millions of dollars poured into potential treatments for AD, none of Big Pharma's drug approaches work for long to alleviate the memory deficits and other problems of this...

Heyes, July 27 2011 (NaturalNews) A new study shows that children with psychosis and other severe mental health disorders also have twice as much vitamin D deficiency as children who are mentally healthy.
The study, presented to the American Psychiatric Association 2011 Annual Meeting in Honolulu in June by researchers from the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland showed that 21 percent of children with symptoms of severe psychiatric problems had vitamin D levels below what the American Academy of Pediatrics...

To make the meals healthier and more appealing to health-conscious customers, the company is planning to cut the amount of fries included from 2.4 ounces to 1.1 ounces, and instead replace them with a few apple slices.

According to a recent Reuters report, facial reconstruction surgery that involves altering face shape and bone structure is on the rise, particularly in East Asian countries where many are willing to dish out thousands of dollars to have a more desirable chin shape, for instance, or more attractive...

Miracle-Gro to sell special nutrient formulations for growing marijuanaBy J. D. Heyes, July 27 2011 (NaturalNews) Once known primarily for its weed-killing formulas, now Miracle-Gro wants to try its hand at growing killer weed.
Jim Hagedorn, chief executive of Scott's, the company that manufactures Miracle-Gro, said he's going to target the medical marijuana industry as a way of boosting overall sales of his company's products.

There are millions and millions of Americans that depend on those checks coming on time."
That quote, all by itself, tells you just about everything you need to know about what America has become and why it's now headed for certain economic collapse.

Tweets about natural health, for instance, may contain "#naturalhealth" in their descriptors, in order to help popularize the topic. And over the weekend, an outpouring of tweets against politicians in Washington, DC, erupted, which caused the hash tag...

Young, July 21 2011 (NaturalNews) Is America truly stricken with widespread mental illness? Do tens of millions need mind-altering drugs? A recent flurry of media articles lead readers to a realization that Big Pharma and the "mental health" industry have deceived Americans on a grand scale.
The "New York Review of Books" two-part article by Dr. Marcia Angell, Senior Lecturer at Harvard Medical School and former Editor in Chief of The New England Journal of Medicine, summarizes it extremely well. She analyzes three...

Baker, July 26 2011 (NaturalNews) A just published study emphasizes that the super strong Big Pharma antibiotic combo trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (dubbed TMP-SMX, for short, and marketed as Bactrim, Bethaprim, Cotrim and Septra) appears to be more effective for repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs) than the time proven natural remedy of cranberries.

They have done everything in their power to convince the press, legislators and especially parents why children need to be put on drugs.
They claim that ADD/ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, etc., are medical conditions, and consider them on par with cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. But in reality there is no actual evidence that proves that psychiatric disorders are indeed...
Internet takeover: New legislation would allow state to arbitrarily shut down, seize websitesBy Ethan A. Huff, July 26 2011 (NaturalNews) Freedom of speech is under attack once again as the bloated US federal government continues its quest to destroy the last bastion of free and open communication -- the internet.
Sen. Patrick Leahy's (D-Vt.) "Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property" bill, also known as the Protect IP Act, is more oppressive and restrictive to free speech than even communist China's internet censorship protocols, and a group of law professors recently...
