(Natural News) With its long and devastating history, the Ebola virus is truly terrifying. Just the words “plague” or “black death” are enough to strike fear into the hearts of many. Outbreaks of the plague were common for centuries, resulting in millions of deaths. More recent outbreaks have generally been contained to distant African countries […]

(Natural News) A recent string of power outages reportedly sent at least 4.5 million gallons of raw sewage from wastewater treatment plants throughout Seattle directly into the crisp waters of Puget Sound, once again illustrating that this leftist-run metropolis has a very serious poop problem on its hands. Whenever the power goes out in Seattle, […]

(Natural News) Bacteria do not need animal or human carriers to spread. A Rutgers-led study suggests that microbes take advantage of natural air currents and use them as bridges to travel from one remote location to another. The genes that encode antibiotic resistance in bacteria appear in many seemingly unrelated bacterial species. Even microbes separated by thousands of […]

(Natural News) The last five decades saw hundreds of species of frogs, toads, and other amphibians suffer drastic drops in numbers. Close to a hundred species have gone extinct. Researchers attributed the widespread declines and extinction to a ravenous fungal disease called chytridiomycosis. Chytridiomycosis eats the moist skin of amphibians, leaving the animals vulnerable. It wiped […]

(Natural News) Air pollution is known to cause respiratory health, but a new study suggests that it can also affect mental health, especially in teenagers. The study, which was published in JAMA Psychiatry, found that teenagers who were exposed to air pollution growing up are at a higher risk of psychosis. This is the first […]

(See the original science report and video by Natural News here.) See […]

(Natural News) Just like we’ve long speculated, the latest news reports about “Dayton shooter” Connor Betts reveal that the now-deceased 24-year-old did, in fact, have SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressant pharmaceuticals in his system at the time when he’s said to have gone on a mass shooting spree, killing his sister, her boyfriend, and […]

(Natural News) Researchers determined the reason for a decline in the numbers of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Australian waters. They learned that high levels of heavy metals contributed to the deaths of many of these already endangered animals. The Ohio State University (Ohio State) team investigated the health of the green sea turtles […]

(Natural News) The excessive blooming of blue-green algae might be responsible for the recent spate of deaths among dolphins. A pathological study found toxic compounds in the harmful algae that might cause a neurodegenerative problem similar to Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers from the University of Miami autopsied the brains and bodies of 14 dead dolphins. For […]

(Natural News) There’s a new risk factor for obesity and it doesn’t involve dieting, genetics, food consumption, hormone disrupters, or inactivity. The newest risk factor for obesity is of psychological origin and it all starts with the way we use electronics and social media. Scientists now warn about “media multitasking.” Not only does excessive electronic […]
