Pepitas are a Crunchy Munchy Snack Food full of Nutritional BenefitsBy Barbara L. Minton, February 14 2009 (NewsTarget) Giving up those delicious salty snack foods is one of the hardest parts of healthy eating, and getting children to give them up is almost impossible. But what if we could replace them with a crunchy, munchy alternative that offered both great taste and great nutrition? Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, have brought a new meaning to snack foods. On their own pepitas are nutty tasting, crunchy, chewy and slightly sweet. When sea salt, herbs or spices are added, they turn into a nutritious...
How to Create Your Own Personal Economic Stimulus Plan (satire)By Mike Adams, February 13 2009 (NaturalNews) Why let Congress have all the fun? You can create your own personal "economic stimulus plan" too. How do you do it? Just follow these five basic steps:
Step 1: Write a 1,000 page shopping list of all the stuff you want to buy.
Just type up a list of everything you've ever wanted to spend money on, but couldn't afford to: Cars, luxury clothing, jewelry, a big new house with a swimming pool, fancy art on the wall, exotic vacations, your own private jet... the sky's the limit!
Step...
Ten Sobering Predictions About the Aftermath of the Economic Stimulus BillBy Mike Adams, February 13 2009 (NaturalNews) The Economic Stimulus bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives today, even after amassing a stunning 1,100 pages that no member actually voting on the bill has had time to read (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvnwOjDjnH4).
Is this the beginning of a new era of prosperity for America? Or is it just another round of debt spending, repackaged under the banner of "Hope" but sold with arm-twisting Fear?
Regardless of your position on whether spending more money is a brilliant...
Key Nutrients Help Maintain Brain Function throughout LifetimeBy Barbara L. Minton, February 13 2009 (NewsTarget) If you want to stay mentally sharp all your life, new research shows the time to intervene is now. Alzheimer's disease and dementia have complex causes that involve nutritional neglect as well as genetic risk factors and predisposition. Genetic risk factors for cognitive decline may remain dormant and never get switched on unless deficiencies in key nutrients are present. This suggests that nutritional status throughout the lifetime determines cognitive outcome. This is very good news...
Two New Studies Document Natural Breast Cancer FightersBy Sherry Baker, February 13 2009 (NewsTarget) A couple of words strike enormous fear in the hearts of countless women: breast cancer. And it's no wonder. American Cancer Society (ACS) statistics reveal it's the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. In fact, the ACS says a woman's chance of having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8 and her chance of dying from the disease is about 1 in 35. However, there is a growing body of scientific evidence that natural substances...
High Intake of Fruits and Vegetables may Lower Risk of Breast Cancer RelapseBy Reuben Chow, February 13 2009 (NewsTarget) The protective effects which one's diet, in particular fruits and vegetables, offers against cancer may, intuitively, seem to apply more to cancers which are related to the gastrointestinal tract, such as colon cancer, stomach cancer or intestinal cancer. On the other hand, for certain cancers, like those of the ovaries, prostate and breasts, one may be more inclined to believe that hormones play a bigger part. The truth, however, is that diet does play a significant role even in breast...

Specifically, one section of the economic stimulus bill designates nearly a billion dollars for new vaccinations of children. This was discovered...

FDA Declares Form of Vitamin B6 a Drug, Effectively Banning Pyridoxamine from Dietary SupplementsBy Mike Adams, February 12 2009 (NaturalNews) The FDA has effectively banned a naturally-occurring form of vitamin B6 called pyridoxamine by declaring it to be a drug, reports the American Association for Health Freedom. Responding to a petition filed by a drug company, the FDA declared pyridoxamine to be "a new drug."
Now, any nutritional supplements containing pyridoxamine will be considered adulterated and illegal by the FDA, which may raid vitamin companies and seize such products. See the history of FDA raids on vitamin...
Study Finds Homeopathic Nasal Spray Effective for AllergiesBy Sherry Baker, February 12 2009 (NewsTarget) Researchers from Strategic BioSciences and the Institute for Asthma and Allergy in Wheaton, Maryland, have found that homeopathic nasal sprays using capsicum, an active component derived from the fruit of the cayenne pepper plant, are effective in relieving symptoms of allergic rhinitis. This could help some 50 million Americans who suffer from nasal allergies breathe a sigh of relief -- the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) estimates that seasonal allergies...
Unwarranted Medical Procedures Burden Taxpayers and Necessitate BailoutsBy Jo Hartley, February 12 2009 (NewsTarget) The national debt we are incurring is a legacy that will be handed down to future generations. As we begin to see programs for the disadvantaged also being affected by the economic plight of the world, it becomes clear that improving the economy is also necessary for humanitarian reasons. Medical profits have, to this point, not been adversely affected by the suffering economy. There are recent signs, however, that the medical industry may be the next sector to ask for a rescue effort...
Halt the Economic Stimulus Bill! Sweeping Health Care Power Grab Taking Place with No DebateBy Mike Adams, February 11 2009 (NaturalNews) The "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009" is about to be passed and signed by President Obama. And yet, as of today, almost no one has read the bill! American citizens, journalists and stakeholder haven't had time yet to even read the bill, much less actually discuss or debate it. This is being shoved through Congress under a fear mongering tactic that smacks of the Bush Administration's Patriot Act push.
The few who have been able to poke around the bill have found alarming...
The Flawed Theory Behind Vaccinations, and Why MMR Jabs Endanger Your Child's HealthBy Mike Adams, February 11 2009 (NaturalNews) Conventional medical doctors around the world (and the drug companies that support them) want all children to be vaccinated against measles, mumps, HPV, chicken pox and literally over a hundred other diseases. Bill Gates even supports the effort to "eradicate" disease from our planet by vaccinating people in developing nations. It all sounds like a noble goal, but like any such effort, it is based on an assumption. Upon closer inspection, that assumption turns out to be nothing more...
Why Vaccinations Harm Children: Health Experts Sound OffBy Mike Adams, February 11 2009 (NaturalNews) What follows is a collection of quotations from naturopathic physicians, health authors, researchers and doctors on the dangers of vaccines. I assembled these quotes from a private library of health books and published them here to make this entire collection public.

Anti-Cancer Properties of Olives Revealed in Two Recent StudiesBy Reuben Chow, February 11 2009 (NewsTarget) Two recent studies have suggested that compounds found in olives could be useful as anti-cancer weapons. One study had found that a compound in olive skin acts against colon cancer cells, while the other found that compounds in olive oil act against breast cancer cells.
Maslinic Acid in Olive Skin works against colon cancer cells
Maslinic acid is a triterpenoid compound found in olive skin. In the first study, a combined team comprising researchers from the University of Barcelona...
Cinnamon Balances Blood Sugar and Lowers CholesterolBy Sheryl Walters, February 11 2009 (NewsTarget) That lovely fragrance of cinnamon comes from the bark of the cinnamon tree, a moderately large evergreen that is native to Sri Lanka. It has been around for at least 2000 years. According to the Bible, Moses used cinnamon to make holy oil (Exodus 20:33). Legend has it that the emperor, Nero, burned a year's supply of cinnamon at his wife's funeral. Cinnamon, known botanically as Cinnamomum zeylanicum, has the ability to have a positive effect on blood sugar and cholesterol.

Tests for Most Low-Back Pain Are WorthlessBy Sherry Baker, February 11 2009 (NewsTarget) Suffering from pain in your lower back? You're not alone. According to the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, low-back pain is the most common form of physical disability in the U.S. In fact, an estimated 80 percent of all Americans will suffer from back pain at some time in their lives. And when they go to their doctors for help, physicians often immediately order X-rays, MRIs or CT scans of the back.
But new research just published in the journal The Lancet...
Tempeh: Low Sodium, Versatile Fermented Soy Food Provides Complete ProteinBy Barbara L. Minton, February 11 2009 (NewsTarget) Tempeh is probably the most versatile of the fermented soy foods. It can be used to make delicious and health promoting dishes that provide the positive benefits of soy without the anti-nutrient properties of foods made with unfermented soy. Tempeh contains the high protein levels found in soybeans and is a great alternative to animal protein. It is a firm textured, nutty tasting and chewy food that easily picks up the flavor of marinades or other foods with which it is cooked.

Hey, Americans: Are You Suffering from Pervasive Peanut Butter Avoidance Disorder?By Mike Adams, February 11 2009 (NaturalNews) While American consumers are running scared over the possibility of tainted peanut butter, it's worth pointing out that the number of people sickened by salmonella (529 at last count) is absolutely dwarfed by the number of people harmed or killed by toxic chemicals that are intentionally put into the food supply.
But that hasn't stopped people from freaking out over peanut butter. They're demonstrating a kind of mania that I've dubbed, "Pervasive Peanut Butter Avoidance Disorder...
Drinking Soda Pop Doubles Risk of Kidney DiseaseBy Sherry Baker, February 11 2009 (NewsTarget) Maybe you eat a fairly healthy diet most of the time, so you might assume indulging in two or more cans of your favorite soda pop every day can't be too bad for you. But, especially if you are a woman, you could be setting yourself up for kidney disease. Researchers from Loyola University Health System say they've found out that women who drink at least two cans of soda pop a day are nearly twice as likely to show early signs of kidney disease as those who don't drink that many sodas...
Alcohol-Containing Mouthwashes Strongly Linked to Increased Oral Cancer RiskBy Reuben Chow, February 11 2009 (NewsTarget) Top independent experts in Australia have called for mouthwashes that contain alcohol to be immediately removed from store shelves. This is after the experts had looked at latest available scientific information on these products, which suggest that they can cause oral cancer.
Details and Findings of Review
The experts had conducted a review which was then published in the Dental Journal of Australia. Their language was clear - there was "sufficient evidence" that "alcohol-containing...
Bilberries: The Berry that Enhances Vision By Sheryl Walters, February 11 2009 (NewsTarget) Bilberries are tasty, dark blue or purple berries that are related to the blueberry. Native to North America and Europe, the bilberry belongs to the Vaccinium family of herbs. This powerful berry is one of the richest sources of antioxidants, and has been shown to improve vision and symptoms associated with diabetes.
Both the berries and leaves of the plant are edible, although for regular consumption, it is better to avoid the leaves as there are chemicals in them that can cause...
Stimulus Package is Latest Battleground in War between Ron Paul and Big GovernmentBy Barbara L. Minton, February 11 2009 (NewsTarget) A battle is on in the world of economics, a battle that can be symbolized as David vs. Goliath. It is the intellectual and tactical battle between big government and small government. Goliath is big government whether it is headed by George Bush or Barack Obama, the new president who promised change but is promoting the business of big government as usual. David is small government, currently being represented by Ron Paul, the Constitutionalist Congressman from the House Financial Services...
Women's Multivitamin Study Seriously Flawed, As UsualBy Mike Adams, February 10 2009 (NaturalNews) A new study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine claims that multivitamins are useless at preventing cancer and cardiovascular disease in women. The mainstream media has predictably picked up on this story, gleefully running it as "proof" that nutrition is worthless and only pharmaceuticals can enhance your health.
What they're not telling you, though, might shock you. Here's the truth about this so-called "scientific" study on multivitamins:
• No multivitamins...
Big Brother Health Care Provisions Slipped Into Economic Stimulus BillBy Mike Adams, February 10 2009 (NaturalNews) The new $800 billion economic stimulus bill contains some striking new "Big Brother" health care language that should give pause to all freedom-loving Americans. For starters, the bill requires the electronic tracking of the medical records of all Americans. All your private medical data will be stored in a government database, including your history of disease, pharmaceutical treatments, surgeries and even emergency room visits.
How would you like the government knowing all the...
