Nuclear Situation Not SafeBy Mark Sircus., AC, OMD, March 29 2011 Ionizing radiation can damage our own health, our children's health, and the health of future generations. Very high doses of ionizing radiation can result in death, organ failure, and make people infertile. Radiation can alter and damage the DNA which damages our health in a way that can be passed on to our children. Cancer is the major hazard from smaller doses of ionising radiation, although it may not develop for many years. The risk is higher for children and young adults, and for women. There...
Herb fenugreek could be natural Viagra, new study findsBy S. L. Baker, March 29 2011 (NaturalNews) Erectile dysfunction (ED), the politically correct term for what used to be called impotence, is the ongoing inability to maintain an erection firm enough, or that lasts long enough, for sex. A lack of sexual desire may also accompany ED.
But ED is just a normal part of aging, correct? So all you have to do is get a prescription for one of Big Pharma's drug solutions -- like Viagra (generic name sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil) or Levitra (Vardenafil) -- pop a pill and you'll be performing...

Huff, March 28 2011 (NaturalNews) Iowa is one of only 11 states that prohibits any form of raw milk sales to the public. In fact, Iowa has one of the most oppressive anti-raw milk political climates in the US. But a new bill being spearheaded by former candidate for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Francis Thicke could change all that. If passed, House File 394 will allow direct-from-the-farm sales of raw milk to Iowans.
Many NaturalNews readers may remember Francis Thicke's bid for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture back...
GM soy making its way into the UK food chain through animal feedBy Jonathan Benson, March 28 2011 (NaturalNews) Labeling laws throughout the European Union (EU) require that all food containing genetically-modified (GM) ingredients be properly labeled. But a new report from The Telegraph explains that many big-name food brands in the UK that sell meat, dairy, and other animal products are sourcing from animals fed GMOs, but selling the final product without a proper GMO label.
The problem of GMOs sneaking in the back door through animal feed is not limited to the EU, as many other countries...

Reports from CBS 2 in Los Angeles say that a deadly new bacteria known as CRKP is rapidly making the rounds in hospitals and care facilities throughout Southern California. According to reports, the bacteria has no known cure, and it may never have one.
CRKP, also known as Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, is not actually a new superbug. As early as 2006, it was known to have...
Study: More than half of store receipts and nearly all money bills contain dangerously high levels of toxic BPABy Ethan A. Huff, March 27 2011 (NaturalNews) Avoiding exposure to Bisphenol-A (BPA), the endocrine-disrupting plastics chemical linked to reproductive problems and other serious health issues, means more than just drinking out of BPA-free bottles and limiting consumption of canned foods. A new study put out by the Washington Toxics Coalition (WTC) says that more than half of store receipts are coated in large amounts of powdered BPA - and nearly all dollar bills contain BPA residue.
Many stores use a type of thermal paper in...

In 1980, 5 percent of men and 8 percent of women were estimated to be obese. By 2008, those figures had increased to 10 percent and 14 percent, respectively. An increase in obesity rates is expected to be accompanied by an increase...
Stress alters gut bacteria balance, inhibits proper immune functionBy Ethan A. Huff, March 27 2011 (NaturalNews) Researchers from Ohio State University (OSU) have identified an important connection between stress and health. According to their study, which was published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, stress directly affects the delicate bacterial balance in the intestines that digests food, defends against harmful bacteria, and regulates proper immune function.
Dr. Michael Bailey and his colleagues discovered that bodily stress changes the composition, diversity, and number of...
Worst Texas drought in 44 years causing wheat, beef shortagesBy Jonathan Benson, March 27 2011 (NaturalNews) Lower yields and continually-rising demand has sparked a sharp rise in prices for wheat and beef in the US. And extended drought conditions across Texas, which is the nation's largest cattle producer and second-largest winter-wheat grower, has contributed to the overall US cattle herd now being the smallest it has been since 1958, as well as to the more than half of the Texas wheat crop that is currently in poor or very poor condition.
According to reports, Texas has gotten only...

Huff, March 26 2011 (NaturalNews) Just days after the 9.1 mega-earthquake and tsunami hit off the east cost of Japan, a former employee of Hitachi Ltd. (6501) came forward saying that he helped cover up a flawed steel protective vessel that was installed in the Fukushima Dai-Ichi Reactor 4 core in 1974. Mitsuhiko Tanaka told Bloomberg that the defective steel in the $250 million vessel was a very serious "time bomb" just waiting to go off, as it represents the key protective unit for the reactor's core.

Obamanation (Satirical opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, March 18 2011 (NaturalNews) And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America, having lost their morals, their initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as "The One."
He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but he hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you. My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence...
![](http://www.naturalnews.com/gallery/articles/Fukushima-Nuclear-Plant.jpg) Fukushima Reactor No. 3 suffers likely core breach, now leaking water at 10,000 times normal radiation levelsBy Mike Adams, March 25 2011 (NaturalNews) The Fukushima situation took a turn for the worse today as two nuclear repair workers stepped into some water at Reactor No. 3 and suffered severe radiation burns requiring immediate hospitalization. The water, it turns out, measures 10,000 times normal radiation levels, and it appears to be leaking from the core of Reactor No. 3.
