 Discover the radiation protective benefits of Spirulina and ChlorellaBy Ethan A. Huff, March 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Protecting yourself in the event of a serious radiation event involves much more than simply loading up on potassium iodide and various other iodine supplements. While high levels of iodine do protect the thyroid and glandular systems from radiation poisoning, they do not necessarily protect the rest of your body from the devastating and deadly effects of nuclear radiation. However, two amazing superfoods -- Spirulina and Chlorella -- offer substantiated protection against harmful radiation...
New research: "smart" vitamin A plays multiple roles in the immune system, depending on the body's needsBy S. L. Baker, March 20 2011
(NaturalNews) It's been known for a long time that a lack of vitamin A can make you susceptible to infections. On the other hand, some research has shown vitamin A can suppress the immune system.
What gives? Now researchers think they know.
It turns out vitamin A is a remarkably 'smart' vitamin. It integrates both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune responses in the gastrointestinal tract (GI), depending on what the body needs. So vitamin A pumps up the pro-inflammatory response when...
New study shows best leg ulcer treatment is natural and includes laughter (really!)By Sherry Baker, March 21 2011
(NewsTarget) (NaturalNews) For five years, scientists at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom tested the supposedly latest, greatest medical marvel for healing leg ulcers -- treatment with a high tech ultrasound wand. Only, it turns out, it does absolutely nothing to speed up the healing process of leg ulceration.
However, the researchers found out what did produce results. The key is common sense, cheap, easy-to-deliver care involving simply wearing support stockings, exercise, and a...
Open letter to natural food stores and coops: Please stop selling unlabeled genetically engineered and factory-farmed foodsBy Ronnie Cummins, March 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Dear Grocery Store Manager, As an organic consumer and as one of your regular retail customers, I would like to thank you for providing me with a selection of healthy, sustainable, climate-friendly, fairly-traded, organically certified products in your store. This is the primary reason why I shop at your grocery, rather than a larger supermarket chain, where I would no doubt pay lower prices at the checkout counter.
From my perspective, the ideal grocery store, farmers market, or...
 Some progress at Fukushima, but no coolant at reactors 3 and 4 (corrected)By Mike Adams, March 20 2011
(NaturalNews) CORRECTION: The radiation leak we reported in the opening paragraph of this story did not happen today, as we initially reported. It was several days ago that reactor No. 2 suffered containment damage and leaked radiation. The rest of the story (below) is current. We apologize for the error.
There is some good news emerging in this nuclear catastrophe: TEPCO has been able to restore grid power to buildings 5 and 6, which also house enormous quantities of stored fuel. Neither of these...
 Exposed fuel rods in empty, cracked cooling pool may soon release 130 tons of uranium directly into the environmentBy Ethan A. Huff, March 20 2011
(NaturalNews) While much of the mainstream media appears to be moving on from the impending Fukushima Daiichi nuclear meltdown, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recently released some startling and dire news about the now-empty spent fuel rod pool in the plant's Reactor 4. According to the NRC, a crack or hole in the empty pool is preventing efforts to refill it -- and since the pool does not have the same containment apparatuses that the actual reactors have, a fire or explosion could...
 Is the FDA silencing journalists?By Craig Smith, editor, Alliance for Natural Health, March 20 2011
(NaturalNews) Many prominent organizations and agencies like the FDA release information with an embargo on it. In other words, news organizations will agree not to publish this information until a certain date. This gives the journalists time to research and write their articles, so that their more detailed investigation - often a deeper perspective on a complex story - can appear at the same time as the organization's press conference.
So the FDA's new policy goes like this; you can write about...
 Cancer on the rise globally as developing nations eat American foods and use American productsBy David Gutierrez, March 20 2011
(NaturalNews) Cancer rates are increasing worldwide but especially in economically developing countries, according to a report released by the American Cancer Society in honor of World Cancer Day and published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.
According to the report, an estimated 12.6 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2008, and 7.6 million people died from cancer. The majority of those cases - 7.1 million and 4.8 million, respectively - occurred in economically developing countries...
More scientific proof for folk remedies: tansy is a natural anti-viral herpes treatmentBy S. L. Baker, March 20 2011
(NaturalNews) While many mainstream doctors still scoff at the idea that traditional, natural healing modalities -- including therapies with plants -- could actually work, hard scientific evidence is accumulating which proves the medicinal properties of plants. For example, NaturalNews recently reported on a study showing that the common weed milkweed can completely cure many skin cancers(http://www.naturalnews.com/031339_milkweed_sap_skin_cancer.html). Now comes word from UK and Spanish scientists...
 Food, water now radioactive in Japan; sales halted while governments play the radiation doublespeak gameBy Mike Adams, March 19 2011
(NaturalNews) As the situation in Fukushima continues to deteriorate, radiation levels keep rising. Now the food and water near (and inside) Tokyo is becoming irradiated. Reuters reports that the water in Tokyo is now contaminated with radioactive iodine (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/19/us-japan-water-idUSTRE72I29J20110319).
AP is also reporting that both spinach and milk from Fukushima is radioactive, and a few officials are slowly admitting that the level of radioactivity is "beyond...
Total information blackout on Fukushima Unit 4 reactor raises serious questions about truth of situationBy Ethan A. Huff, March 19 2011
(NaturalNews) The status of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant's Unit 4 reactor is one of the most critical aspects in determining the severity of the impending nuclear meltdown. After all, the most recent temperature readings available showed that the rods there were three times hotter than they should be, which was far worse than the other reactors at the time. And yet for several days, basic information like whether or not there is actually water left in Unit 4's cooling pool, or what the current...
 Its Getting Worse in TokyoBy Mark Sircus., AC, OMD, March 19 2011
On March 15 Michi Okugawa wrote, "The situation in Tokyo is getting worse. The number of people who are panicking is increasing with more and more people trying to get out of Tokyo or out of the country. The nuclear plant explosion is having a large effect in our daily lives. The biggest problem is transportation. Tokyo is darker now due to power saving. As I am writing this, more people have decided to evacuate from Tokyo. I am living my usual life but the surrounding is in a panic."
The Japanese...
Radiation Prevention (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, March 18 2011
There's lots of good stuff regarding radiation solutions on this website that are incredible. But there are some other things that need to be known.
First of all, duct taping every opening in your home may be beneficial to some degree but remember that radiation is heat and heat will penetrate everything except lead. So, unless you are living in a lead-lined bunker there are other things that you need to consider. A major concern should be the rebuilding of the cells in the body after any exposure...
Earthquake predicted for CaliforniaBy Randall Neustaedter OMD, March 19 2011
(NaturalNews) In case you have not had enough apocalyptic disaster scares and events this week, a geologist who predicted the 1989 Northern California earthquake has predicted another to occur next week between March 19 and 25th.
Geologist Jim Berkland asserts that he has a 75 percent accuracy rate in his earthquake predictions, which are often based on tidal forces and abnormal animal behavior events. He says that four factors are coming together that make an earthquake in California a likely...
Mainstream media halts accurate reporting on Japan's worsening nuclear catastrophe; disinfo campaign now underwayBy Mike Adams, March 18 2011
(NaturalNews) Almost as if on cue, the mainstream media today halted nearly all accurate reporting of the worsening situation in Japan, writing off the whole thing as a "non issue." This all happened in a seeming coordinate effort following President Obama's speech on Wednesday that urged Americans to NOT prepare for anything. The American people, Obama insisted, should simply watch television to "stay informed." (http://www.naturalnews.com/031735_Obama_radioactive_fallout.html) Shortly after, mainstream...
Japanese mayor urges evacuation after discovering government ignored, misled him and his people about true dangers of nuclear falloutBy Ethan A. Huff, March 18 2011
(NaturalNews) Based on all available reports at this time, it appears that the Japanese government has been severely downplaying the very real radiation threat the Japanese people face in the wake of the 9.1 magnitude earthquake and massive tsunami that occurred last Friday, which has left tens of thousands of people dead and missing, and numerous towns and cities in ruin. But now, a report has surfaced claiming that the Japanese government has been lying to those living close to the Fukushima Daiichi...

 Flights from Tokyo triggering radiation detectors at US airportsBy Ethan A. Huff, March 18 2011
(NaturalNews) Reports have begun to surface about potentially suspicious levels of harmful radiation on airplanes, cargo, and even passengers themselves, flying into US airports from Tokyo, Japan. NBC Chicago has indicated that up to six planes from Tokyo that landed at O'Hare International Airport (ORD) tested positive for radiation in their cargo portions. And at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) in Texas, some passengers and luggage showed signs of radiation during routine scans, though...

MOX plutonium fuel used in Fukushima's Unit 3 reactor two million times more deadly than enriched uraniumBy Ethan A. Huff, March 17 2011
(NaturalNews) Largely absent from most mainstream media reports on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is the fact that a highly-dangerous "mixed-oxide" (MOX) fuel in present in six percent of the fuel rods at the plant's Unit 3 reactor. Why is MOX a big deal? According to the Nuclear Information Resource Center (NIRS), this plutonium-uranium fuel mixture is far more dangerous than typical enriched uranium -- a single milligram (mg) of MOX is as deadly as 2,000,000 mg of normal enriched uranium...
 Obama tells Americans: Do NOT prepare for radioactive fallout, just listen to your governmentBy Mike Adams, March 17 2011
(NaturalNews) In a truly incredible example of the complete disregard for the health and safety of the American people, President Obama today told Americans that they should NOT prepare for radiation from the possible meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. His exact quote: "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and public health experts do not recommend people in the U.S. take precautionary measures beyond staying informed."
In other words, Americans should do nothing...
Widespread nuclear fallout edges closer as spent fuel pool runs dry, says NRCBy Ethan A. Huff, March 17 2011
(NaturalNews) The situation in Japan seems to be going from bad to worse, as officials from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recently came forward saying that water pools used to cool spent fuel rods in Unit 4 have run dry, and that temperatures are rising rapidly in several of the other reactor units.
"There is no water in the spent fuel pool and we believe that radiation levels are extremely high, which could possibly impact the ability to take corrective measures," said NRC Chairman...
 UN projection shows radioactive plume hitting Southern California by FridayBy Ethan A. Huff, March 17 2011
(NaturalNews) Experts from the United Nations (UN) Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) have put out a forecast projecting the potential path of the Fukushima Daiichi radiation plume, and they say by sometime on Friday it will hit the US West Coast of Southern California. Based on wind patterns and the direction the plume is headed, it will pass through the Aleutian Islands in the Northern Pacific Ocean near Alaska on Thursday, and head down through Southern California and onward east...

 Urgent radiation preparedness action items for California, Oregon, Washington, B.C., Yukon and AlaskaBy Mike Adams, March 17 2011
(NaturalNews) The New York Times report that a radiation plume will reach California by Friday has a lot of people asking us for more information about what to do. (See http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/17/science/17plume.html?_r=1) Fortunately, the amount of radiation that would actually fall on California (or Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska, etc.) is currently very small. Too small to pose a serious health risk for right now.
The time to get really concerned is if -- and only if -...
