Eight common diseases linked to vitamin D deficiency

Eight common diseases linked to vitamin D deficiency

 (NaturalNews) The cure for some of the most common and debilitating health conditions today may be as elemental as simply correcting a nutrient deficiency that plagues millions of Westerners: Vitamin D deficiency. Here are eight common diseases that have been scientifically linked to a chronic lack of vitamin D:

1) Asthma. Though a definitive cause of asthma is still up for debate, recent science points to vitamin D, and particularly a lack thereof, as a major factor in its prevalence. Especially in children, vitamin D has been shown to help reduce the severity and prevalence of asthma symptoms, and may help quell the inflammation responsible for restricting airways and making it difficult for asthmatics to breathe (http://science.naturalnews.com).

2) Hypertension. A study recently published in the Journal of Investigative Medicine found that patients with hypertension fared better when their vitamin D levels were boosted. High blood serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), a marker of vitamin D, were found to help modulate vascular inflammation and other indicators of high blood pressure (http://www.vitasearch.com).

3) Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBS). Numerous studies conducted in Europe, India, and the United States have identified a link between low vitamin D levels and higher rates of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and other forms of IBS. Based on this cohort of research, populations where natural sunlight exposure is limited tend to have higher rates of IBS, and vice versa (http://www.vitamindcouncil.org).

4) Influenza. It has long been known that influenza rates are highest during the wintertime when the sun is at its lowest tilt, and exposure to ultraviolet B rays is minimal. This, combined with research, shows that vitamin D helps boost the immune system, and science is only just beginning to recognize the flu-fighting potential of maintaining optimal vitamin D levels (http://www.vitamindcouncil.org).

5) Type-2 Diabetes. A 2011 study published in the journal, AIDS, found that vitamin D deficiency can exacerbate the symptoms of metabolic syndrome in patients with HIV. But in the process of learning this, the research team also found that maintaining high vitamin D levels through sunlight exposure or supplementation can actually help reduce the risk of developing type-2 diabetes in general (http://science.naturalnews.com).

6) Dental cavities. It has been suspected since at least the mid-1800s that a lack of natural sunlight exposure is a major cause of poor health. But in recent years, scientists have pinned specific conditions, including poor dental health, to a lack of vitamin D. Numerous recent studies have found that optimal levels of vitamin D promote the healthy calcification of teeth, while a lack of this important nutrient can lead to higher rates of dental cavities (http://www.vitamindcouncil.org).

7) Rheumatoid arthritis. If you or someone you know suffers from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), you may want to have your vitamin D levels checked. A recent study out of Canada found a "considerably strong association" between vitamin D deficiency and RA. In fact, those with the lowest blood plasma levels of 25(OH)D were found to be up to five times more susceptible to RA-related diseases than others (http://www.vitasearch.com).

8) Cancer. Whether it is breast, prostate, cervical, colorectal, esophageal, gastric, endometrial, ovarian, pancreatic, or renal, cancers of all types have been shown to be more prominent among people with inadequate levels of vitamin D. Conversely, those with the highest levels of vitamin D, or what are considered "optimal" levels, tend to be the least prone to developing cancer (http://www.vitamindcouncil.org).

Food and lifestyle: non-chemo treatments for colon cancer

Food and lifestyle: non-chemo treatments for colon cancer

(NaturalNews) I wrote recently about Dave the Raw Food Trucker and how his stage 1 colon cancer has subsided from what appears to be the result of an organic, raw food, vegan diet. Or probably more appropriately, the food that he stopped eating.

If that wasn't exciting enough, I want to share another healing story about a man that was at colon cancer stage 3. This man appeared on the Ricki Lake show to discuss his story.

Chris Wark was just 26 years old when he was diagnosed with one of the later stages of colon cancer, stage 3. He was told that he was insane by the oncologist when he refused chemo. His decision instead was to embark on a raw vegan diet.

Chemotherapy for colon cancer for Chris wasn't conceivable. The idea of poisoning himself was not in the cards for him. He, like many others, sought alternative treatments for disease.

Is colon cancer curable?

To answer the question of whether or not colon cancer can be cured, I invite you to ask Dave the Raw Food Trucker and Chris Wark. I'm sure the conversation will enter into the realm of eating cleanly. I'm also sure that the raw food diet will be discussed.

Wark started to eat special salads and began juicing his way to good health. He also started a lymph cleansing program that involved the use of a mini trampoline or rebounder. 10+ years later Wark remains cancer free and in Ricki's words "has become an outspoken advocate of chemo free cancer treatment."

What is colon cancer?

According to the definition on the Princeton education web site, colon cancer is defined as "a malignant tumor of the colon; early symptom is bloody stools."

If considering an alternative treatment yourself, you will face scrutiny from many people from many different walks of life. One thought is that if you believe that you can be cured by the raw food diet, than you can. The opposite also may hold true.

If the videos and stories about Dave, Chris and others spark a belief in you, then watch them every single day to reaffirm that belief, especially when others try to instill doubt.

On a side note, a childhood friend of mine, his father passed away from cancer just the other day. His doctor diagnosed him a few days before and told him that he would die in a few days. The man believed him.

U.S. welfare food shipped offshore in huge barrels to be sold on black market in developing nations

U.S. welfare food shipped offshore in huge barrels to be sold on black market in developing nations

(NaturalNews) Waste, fraud, and abuse are the three things taxpayers hate more than the taxes themselves, because they stand for a blatant misuse of resources provided by coercion: Pay your taxes or else go to jail.

So it is beyond maddening when taxpayers learn that government-enforced charity, which is the base concept behind all welfare programs, is being exploited by the very people such programs were designed to "help."

A recent case in point involves rampant welfare fraud in New York City. What's more, as reported by the New York Post, "food stamp fraud [in the city] has turned into foreign aid - to black-market profiteers in the Dominican Republic."

Prior, the paper reported that welfare recipients in New York were buying food with their benefits cards, then shipping it in blue barrels to relatives in the Caribbean. But not all of them are distributing the food to the needy; some are selling the taxpayer-funded fare for a profit on the city streets in the DR.

'We do it all the time'

"It's a really easy way to make money, and it doesn't cost me anything," a seller named Maria-Teresa told a Post reporter. Of course, the costs are all being borne by U.S. New York taxpayers. More from the Post:

The 47-year-old Bronx native told The Post she scalps barrels of Frosted Flakes and baby formula bought with welfare money in the United States.

Maria-Teresa said she gets new barrels every few weeks from her sister, who buys everything at a Western Beef on Prospect Avenue near East 165th Street in Foxhurst.

The scamming sibling pays $75 per barrel to transport the items to the DR through Mott Haven's Luciano Shipping. Sometimes the family fraudsters take advantage of a special: three barrels for the price of two.


The woman says she uses some of the products herself but sells the rest out of her home in the city of Santiago. She gives markdowns of anywhere from a buck or two compared to what locals would pay in stores.

As to the pervasiveness of this insult to American taxpayers, Maria-Teresa said, "I don't know how much of a business it is, but I know a lot of people are doing it."

The black market there is so well-established that customers can even place requests for top-selling items. They include 19-ounce boxes of Frosted Flakes cereal, which sells locally for $6.50. She marks it down $2; her sister buys it in the U.S. for $2.99.

"But," the Post points out, "because the sister uses her Electronic Benefit Transfer card, she actually pays nothing - taxpayers foot the $2.99."

Nice work if you can find it.

Maria-Teresa also sells 24-ounce boxes of Kellogg's Corn Flakes for $2; they sell for $4 in the DR. In the U.S., the Kellogg's brand averages around $2.99.

Baby formula is also popular, according to the report. A 23-ounce can of powdered Enfamil is $25 in the U.S., but $19 in Santiago; Maria-Teresa sells it for $15.

"People want the best quality for the price, so they buy the formula made in the U.S.," she told the paper.

Of course. Nothing but the best, compliments of the American taxpayer.

There is more to the food-stamp fraud business, however. As the Post reports, Maria-Teresa says her Bronx-based sis has local grocers ring up phoney $250 transactions with her EBT card. In exchange, the stores give her $200 in cash and pocket the remaining fifty bucks. No goods are actually bought or exchanged; rather, her sister sends the money to Santiago - that is, whatever's left over from spending it on liquor and other non-food items.

"We do it all the time, and a lot of people do this," Maria-Teresa said. "It's a way of laundering money, but it's easier because it's free."

What else can our government do to abuse its taxpayers?

Well, of course, it's not free to you and I, but that doesn't seem to matter to the enterprising immigrant welfare cheats who are defrauding our system, which is obviously broken. Yet another massive government program gone awry.

There's more:

Jean, another public-assistance cheat in Santiago, told The Post he has peddled welfare food in Santiago since getting deported from New York in 2010.

A thirtysomething Haitian national, he said his sister in Queens uses her EBT card to purchase food before shipping it to him from Long Island City.

"Every other month, I receive the barrels from my sister in New York City," he told The Post. "Whatever I don't need, I sell."


They say that charity begins at home and while that may be true, it can obviously end up somewhere it was never intended to be.

Chlorella protects against cadmium poisoning: NaturalNews Science

Chlorella protects against cadmium poisoning: NaturalNews Science

(NaturalNews) One of the most powerful cleansing and detoxifying "superfoods" known to man, chlorella is a fascinating single-celled algae variety that offers a plethora of unique benefits for human health and nutrition. And one such benefit, as illustrated in a 2008 study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, is its ability to expel toxic cadmium from the body and prevent it from poisoning the liver and other vital organs.

Researchers from South Korea's Hanyang University learned this after testing the effects of chlorella on groups of Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to cadmium (Cd). The team divided 40 rats into four groups, three of which were exposed to 10 parts per million (ppm) of cadmium. The first of the three groups was given no chlorella (Cd-0C), while the second and third were given five percent chlorella (Cd-5C) and 10 percent chlorella (Cd-10C), respectively. The fourth group was assigned as a control.

After evaluating the health of the rats after eight weeks -- all rats had unmitigated access to water during this time -- the team observed that the Cd-0C group, which was given no chlorella, had the lowest overall body and liver weight, a clear indicator of poor health. This same group of untreated rats was also observed to have significantly higher hepatic concentrations, or concentrations of poison in the liver.

Conversely, cadmium-exposed rats given chlorella had much lower levels of poison in their livers compared to the Cd-0C group, illustrating the power of chlorella to protect this vital organ from damage. Chlorella was also shown to stimulate the expression of metallothioneins, or MTs, which bind with metallic compounds like chlorella and help remove them from the body.

"[T]his study suggests that C. vulgaris (chlorella) has a protective effect against Cd-induced liver damage by reducing Cd accumulation and stimulating the expression of MT II in (the) liver," wrote the authors in their abstract.

You can read the full study abstract at NaturalNews Science:
http://science.naturalnews.com

A similar study published in the journal, Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism, in 2009 found that chlorella also helps to reduce the oxidative stress caused by Cd poisoning. Researchers from Ewha Womans University, also in South Korea, discovered that CD-poisoned rats treated with chlorella fared better than untreated rats in terms of lipid peroxide concentration, superoxide radical generation, and xanthine oxidase activity.

You can read the results of this study here:
http://science.naturalnews.com

Chlorella can also help improve insulin resistance, lipid metabolism

Among its many other benefits, chlorella has also been shown by credible science to help improve both insulin resistance and lipid metabolism. Rats fed a high fat diet along with chlorella were shown in the first instance to better process and metabolize these fats, while rats in the latter instance handled sugar intake better when also supplemented with chlorella.

"The cell wall of chlorella is generally considered the thing that just grabs on to almost any toxin in the body, whether it is heavy metals, pesticides, organic chemicals," said Dr. Hank Liers, chief formulator of products sold by Health Products Distributors, Inc., in a 2007 interview with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger. "I think there are more research papers on chlorella than any substance known."

You can learn more about this substance by visiting the NaturalNews Science page on chlorella, which contains hundreds of scientific studies on the benefits of chlorella:

Consumer alert: Most common vitamins, including children's vitamins, found to contain GMOs

Consumer alert: Most common vitamins, including children's vitamins, found to contain GMOs

(NaturalNews) A Natural News investigation reveals that an alarmingly large number of multivitamins and individual nutrient vitamins are formulated with ingredients derived from genetically modified corn.

This is the "dirty little secret" of the vitamin industry, but it's not one the mainstream media will touch because they refuse to admit GMOs are a problem to begin with. Those in the know, however, realize that eating any ingredients derived from GMOs may expose them to the BT insecticide chemicals found in GM corn.

GMOs are truly "hidden" in vitamins because the GM-derived ingredients are so heavily processed that all DNA is destroyed in the process, thereby destroying any footprint of genetic modification. Genetic ID tests, in other words, require particles of the food to remain relatively intact so that PCR lab equipment can replicate genetic sequences. Heavily processed ingredients such as high-fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin and ascorbic acid have no genetic material remaining, thereby sweeping their origins under the rug.

This is one reason who so many vitamins sold today are formulated with GMOs. This includes virtually ALL the popular multivitamin brands sold at grocery stores and pharmacies, by the way.



List of ingredients that are usually GMO

The Non-GMO Project Verified website lists these ingredients as commonly harboring GMOs:

Amino Acids
Aspartame
Ascorbic Acid
Sodium Ascorbate
Vitamin C
Citric Acid
Sodium Citrate
Flavorings ("natural" and "artificial")
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein
Lactic Acid
Maltodextrins
Molasses
Monosodium Glutamate
Sucrose
Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
Xanthan Gum
Vitamins
Yeast Products (such as yeast extract)



From this list, you can hopefully realize that:

• Nearly all "vegetarian" foods are GMO (loaded with yeast extract and soy).

• Nearly all sodas and soft drinks are GMO (HFCS, aspartame).

• Nearly all storable "emergency" food sold on the market today is GMO. (TVP, soy, MSG, yeast extract)

• Nearly all canned soups are GMO. (MSG, yeast extract)

• Nearly all children's meals and snacks are GMO. (HFCS, MSG, soy, corn)

In other words, just about everything the consuming masses are eating is contaminated with GMOs.

Here's a closer look at some of the more common GMO ingredients in vitamins and health products:

GMO ingredient #1 - Maltodextrin

Maltodextrin is a powdery, starch derivative of corn. It is used everywhere in the nutritional supplements industry, as a "filler" for fruit powders and drink mixes, as a "sweetener" for low-sugar health foods, and as a flow agent for vitamin capsules.

Unless it is certified as non-GMO, all maltodextrin should be assumed to come from GMO sources. The maltodextrin manufacturing supply chain isn't even geared up to provide non-GMO maltodextrin, as the large-scale factories that produce the material run so much GM corn that there would be significant cross-contamination even if they tried to pull off a non-GMO run.



The few companies that offer non-GMO starches and sweeteners are increasingly gaining attention across the industry. I'm aware of one company called Austrade, Inc. that offers a full line of non-GMO corn-based starches and sweeteners, including non-GMO maltodextrin.

According to the company, they were the first producer to receive "Non-GMO Project Verified" approval for non-GMO maltodextrin.

Non-GMO maltodextrin is also making its way into health products such as "Ultima Replenisher," a healthy replacement for those junk sports drinks made with GMO corn syrup, salt and low-grade minerals. Ultima Replenisher is completely GMO-free, relying on a non-GMO maltodextrin from certified sources.

A small company named Allergaroo.com also makes non-GMO microwaveable foods that are designed to be free of common allergens such as casein, soy, wheat, peanuts, dairy, GMOs, etc. (Although I have to wonder about the whole microwave concept...)

GMO ingredient #2 - Ascorbic acid

In the delusional world of western thinking on nutrients, ascorbic acid is called "vitamin C."

It isn't vitamin C, of course. Real vitamin C is a broad spectrum of synergistic compounds, never just an isolated, homogeneous molecule. But don't tell that to doctors, scientists or journalists, because they've all bought into the "ascorbic acid is vitamin C" delusion.

So nearly all the common "vitamin C" pills are nothing more than heavily refined ascorbic acid derived from GM corn. That's why those pills don't work, by the way. So when the mainstream media declares, "Vitamin C shows no benefit..." in clinical trials, what they are really saying is that heavily processed ascorbic acid isolated from genetically modified corn doesn't improve your health, and that's no surprise.

Look on the labels of your cheap, low-grade vitamins and multivitamins... you'll see "ascorbic acid" listed there, meaning you are eating GMOs. Throw those away. They're crap.



If you want real vitamin C, your best bet is to eat camu camu, which is the planet's highest source of natural, full-spectrum, food-based vitamin C. (The full synergy of nutrients, not just isolated chemicals.) Click here to see high-grade, certified organic camu camu powder at the Natural News Store.

(By the way, as a side note, the FDA came to our warehouse and took a large number of samples of our camu camu to run lab tests in their Arkansas lab headquarters. They were obviously looking for heavy metals and pesticide residues. The lab tests, as we knew they would, came back 100% clear. That's because we're one of the few companies to actually test all the raw materials we import. So now we have official confirmation that even the FDA agrees that our products are clean. In truth, our own stringent lab test requirements are MORE STRICT than the FDA!)

There are also some vitamin companies making non-GMO vitamin C formulations. Expect them to be expensive because all non-GMO vitamin C must be sourced outside the United States. There is currently no U.S.-based producer of non-GMO vitamin C. (It simply doesn't exist.)

GMO ingredient #3 - Sucrose (heavily used in children's vitamins)

Take a look at almost any children's vitamins and you'll find they're made with several GMO ingredients: aspartame, sucrose and often citric acid, too.

In fact, children's vitamins are by far the most toxic because they're usually formulated with a much higher concentration of toxic ingredients such as artificial sweeteners, artificial colors and GMO-derived materials.



Children should be eating superfoods or food concentrates, not toxic vitamin pills. Remember, too, that the low-grade vitamin pills are manufactured by companies largely owned by the pharmaceutical industry. They have every incentive to make sure their vitamins actually cause health problems rather than prevent disease. This boosts their long-term profits as sick children become Big Pharma customers for life.

MegaFood receives the first non-GMO certification in the industry

When it comes to high quality food-based nutrients in a pill format, nobody beats MegaFood, the supplier Natural News has chosen as its supplement partner.

MegaFood's manufacturing facility is the first and only facility in the United States to be certified non-GMO. Certification of all the company's products is under way, but I have personally been informed that the entire product line has been 100% non-GMO since 2007. (Actual certification takes time and will be announced when the process is complete.)

Consumers looking for truly non-GMO sources of health-supporting minerals can check out MegaFood's Balanced Minerals formulation.

Those seeking thyroid support should take a look at MegaFood's Thyroid Strength formulation.

And for non-GMO multivitamins made from real food rather than isolated chemicals, MegaFood offers a full line of daily multivitamins for men and women.

Join the call for GMO labeling on vitamins and supplements

As companies like MegaFood blaze forward in achieving non-GMO certification, they are going to force everyone else in the industry to follow suit (or lose customers). That's because consumers don't want hidden GMOs in their health supplements, obviously.

People take vitamins based on the belief that vitamins won't poison them. Unfortunately, this is a false assumption given the dirty tricks played by the pharmaceutical industry in churning out harmful, synthetic vitamins loaded with toxic substances such as GMOs.

That's why I support the mandatory GMO labeling of vitamins and dietary supplements. It's also why my own brand of superfoods and dietary supplements -- Health Ranger Select -- is 100% non-GMO.

See, it's not just about labeling GMOs in foods. GMOs need to be labeled (or ultimately, banned) in everything we eat, and that includes vitamins and dietary supplements.

Most health-conscious consumers already know to avoid GMOs in foods, but they fail to avoid them when selecting vitamins and supplements. So they're taking in quantities of GMO-derived materials in their health supplements, and that defeats the whole purpose of being "health conscious" in the first place.

Until GMOs are labeled (or banned) on vitamins and supplements, you have to be vigilant in avoiding GMO-derived ingredients such as maltodextrin, sucrose, ascorbic acid, citric acid and others.

Unless the product is certified non-GMO or comes from a company that is diligently working on the certification process, there is a better than 99% chance that they contain GMOs.

And what happens when you eat GMOs? Just ask these lab rats, which were fed a combination of GM corn and glyphosate, the weed killer chemical often used on genetically modified crops:

Deceptive 'Parental Rights Amendment' to hand over control of your children to federal government: Tell your reps to oppose!

Deceptive 'Parental Rights Amendment' to hand over control of your children to federal government: Tell your reps to oppose!

(NaturalNews) In name, it appears as though it would enshrine the fundamental and inalienable authority of parents over their children into the basic framework of American law. But the so-called Parental Rights Amendment (PRA) is hardly the pro-freedom amendment to the U.S. Constitution that its creators claim it is, as it actually threatens to transfer the inviolable jurisdiction of parental authority over children to the federal government.

Though many people today are unaware of it, America's founding fathers recognized that parents have a God-given responsibility to care for and protect their children. This responsibility is not a "right" granted to parents by the federal government, but rather a mandate built into the natural order that cannot be revoked or altered in any way by outside forces, including the federal government.

Because of this, the founding fathers crafted what we now know as the Constitution, which clearly enumerates, or spells out, the specific powers that We the People have delegated to the federal government -- and these powers do not include any authority whatsoever over children. In fact, the federal government has very little power over anything, at least as far as the Constitution is concerned.

This is an important concept that you must understand in order to see why the PRA is problematic. As spelled out in immense detail by Publius Huldah over at FreedomOutpost.com, passage of the PRA would essentially place parental authority under the ultimate jurisdiction of the federal government rather than the God of the universe, granting the Supreme Court the power to rule over matters involving such authority.

"The name, 'parental rights amendment' (PRA), sounds so good! But it actually strips parents of their God-delegated authority over their children, and transfers that authority to the federal government," writes Huldah. "The PRA would transform 'families' and 'children' from matters over which the federal government now has no lawful authority to matters under the total control of the federal government."

Most of the controversy stems from Section 3 of the PRA, which dictates that both federal and state governments can override or infringe parental authority if it serves the "highest order" of government interests. This disturbing and vague language would most assuredly open up a Pandora's box of government authoritarianism, in which federal judges would be free to redefine the terms of parental authority at whim, as long as it serves the "highest order."

"The PRA is a delegation of lawmaking power over families and children to the federal government," adds Huldah. "Congress may make whatever laws it pleases pertaining to YOUR children; the Executive Branch may issue whatever rules or orders it pleases pertaining to YOUR children -- and under Section 3 of the PRA, federal judges will decide whether these laws, orders & rules serve the government's interest. If so, you lose."

Be sure to read Huldah's thorough analysis of this Trojan horse amendment:
http://freedomoutpost.com

Tell your representatives to OPPOSE the Parental Rights Amendment

Our representatives need to know that parental rights are already recognized by the U.S. Constitution, and have never been under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Passage of the PRA, or anything like it that erroneously assumes that the federal government has any authority over families or children, would be fundamentally disastrous as it would deconstruct the very nature of true parental authority. It would also be fundamentally unconstitutional, which is important to remember should the bill "pass."

Health benefits of sunflower seeds

Health benefits of sunflower seeds

(NaturalNews) According to a micronutrient research facility, people who ingest seeds and nuts regularly have a lower possibility of having heart ailments or diabetes mellitus. The health benefits of sunflower seeds are profoundly documented by Taoist anti-aging medical practitioner Dr. Mao Shing Ni. He asserts that the seeds be added to one's diet because of their significant nutritive content.

Nutrition content of sunflower seeds

The seeds contain Vitamin E.

This can help protect cells against the effects of free radicals and substances that oxidize and harm protein structure, the cell membranes, including DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). This nutrient also helps in the maintenance of blood circulation and production of red blood cells (RBCs). One ounce of sunflower seeds has a total of 10 mg of vitamin E in it. Fact sheets for dietary supplements indicate this is already 35 percent of a person's recommended daily requirement of Vitamin E.

Other health benefits are attributed to the seeds' content of Thiamine, a B-vitamin.

This nutrient functions to stimulate cell catalysts or enzymes to stimulate chemical reactions that cells require in order to work efficiently. When a person has adequate levels of thiamine in the body, this assists in obtaining energy from food and generates the basic units or nucleic acids that comprise human DNA. An average human male requires 1.2 mg of Vitamin B1 daily while a female requires 1.1 mg. Every ounce of sunflower seeds contains 0.4 mg of thiamin or Vitamin B1.

Sunflower seeds also contain copper.

This mineral is excellent for maintaining the skin and hair. One ounce of the seeds contains 512 mg of copper or more than fifty percent of the recommended daily intake of this nutrient. The body utilizes copper to produce melanin responsible for giving the hair and skin their nice healthy colors. The minute particles of this protein pigment can take in the sun's ultraviolet radiation. In this way, people are protected from damaged tissues due to overexposure to sunlight. Copper also supports the mechanism of the body's metabolic processes to assist body cells in producing energy.

To sum up

Including sunflower seeds in your daily diet regimen is very easy. Aside from eating seeds in raw form, you can just mix an ounce of the seeds in your cold or hot beverage or sprinkle them over salads and other food servings. You can even eat these with a sandwich, a bowl of oatmeal, breakfast cereal, or with a cup of non-dairy ice cream or yogurt. Another way to incorporate sunflower seeds to your meals is by soaking them in water and then later on combining it with your pureed soup. This not only fortifies the food with essential nutrients but it also adds a hint of flavor and nice texture to the food. There are numerous ways to get more sunflower seeds and thus consume more of the nutrients needed by the body.

Military drill goes awry when US fighter jets drop bombs on Australia's fragile Great Barrier Reef

(NaturalNews) A joint U.S. military exercise gone wrong has caused trouble Down Under after two Marine Corps jets recently dropped four bombs on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. According to reports, the two jets were supposed to bomb a nearby range on Townshend Island, but when the mission was suddenly aborted, pilots instead dropped the bombs, two inert and two unarmed, about 16 nautical miles south of Bell Cay in Australia's Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Earlier reports by BBC News explain that the two AV-8B Harriers carrying the bombs were running low on fuel during the exercise, which had been delayed due to hazards and other issues. Since the jets could not be landed safely with the unexploded ordnance still on board, its pilots had to instead release them elsewhere before landing, according to the U.S. Navy. So they picked a stretch of water in the fragile World Heritage Site off the coast of Queensland.

"It was not safe to drop the bombs," at the original intended location, claimed Commander William Marks of the U.S. Seventh Fleet to ABC Radio. "There were civilian boats right below them."

Since none of the four bombs were active, they did not explode upon impact and can still be safely retrieved from the park if necessary, say authorities. Weighing in at about 500 pounds each, the four bombs also apparently do not pose an environmental hazard, according to Commander Marks, who insisted to reporters that shipping and navigation routes will not be negatively altered by their presence.

U.S. Navy to recover 'harmless' bombs at request of Australian government

Still, the Navy did agree to recover the bombs if petitioned to do so by the Australian government. And according to new NBC News reports, this division of the armed forces is now doing just that, sending in its Seventh Fleet to take the plunge and recover them. Based on current assessments, the four bombs are currently sitting in 160 to 200 feet of water.

"We are fully committed to redressing any potential adverse environmental impact in a timely manner," stated the Navy in a formal announcement, adding that it will announce more details about the retrieval efforts as plans are finalized.

Following the announcement, some observers have voiced concerns about the Navy's reasoning behind dropping the bombs in this sensitive area rather than somewhere else. Others have pointed out that the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is hardly the most appropriate region of the world to be conducting military exercises in the first place, as it is widely known to be a vital, living organism that sustains entire ecosystems.

The Great Barrier Reef, as you may already know, is considered to be one of the seven natural wonders of the world. It stretches more than 1,200 miles along the Australian coast from the town of Bundaberg near Brisbane in the south to the town of Port Douglas in the north. More than 3,000 individual reef systems and coral cays compose the Great Barrier Reef, in fact, and thousands of unique aquatic and bird species make their home there.

"It's simply not an appropriate place for war games," said Australian Green Party senator Larissa Waters to the U.K.'s Guardian. "It's outrageous there wasn't better safety with the boats involved, especially given that this area is a tourist Mecca. The Great Barrier Reef is already under huge pressure from mining, and now, it seems from U.S. bombs. It beggars belief really -- I thought at first that this was a joke."

Big Pharma successfully bribes officials in India to allow sale of dangerous, deadly drugs

Big Pharma successfully bribes officials in India to allow sale of dangerous, deadly drugs

(NaturalNews) The regulatory authority in India responsible for approving pharmaceutical drugs has obviously taken some cues from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as a new government report highlights some very serious corruption going on in that country. According to Reuters, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), which is basically India's version of the FDA, has been fraudulently approving drugs in exchange for kickbacks and bribes, and operating primarily for the benefit of Big Pharma rather than for the Indian people.

Much like the FDA, CDSCO is heavily influenced by the drug industry, and has been caught colluding with drug companies to fast-track approval for drugs, for instance, without requiring them to complete all stages of safety approval and clinical trials. India's parliament, which compiled a 78-page report as part of an in-depth investigation, confirms that CDSCO has not only violated drug approval provisions in numerous instances, but has also put millions of Indian patients at significant risk in the process.

"There is sufficient evidence on record to conclude that there is collusive nexus between drug manufacturers, some functionaries of CDSCO and some medical experts," explains the report. "Such irregular approvals spare drug producers the cost and efforts but put Indian patients at risk."

One major area of concern is CDSCO's lack of oversight of the clinical trial process, which itself is riddled with loopholes that are routinely exploited by Big Pharma. And rather than tighten these restrictions and assume an active role in ensuring that all approved drugs are first tested in accordance with the law, CDSCO has instead chosen to look the other way and even facilitate such crimes against humanity.

"The regulatory procedures are not at all stringent in India and there is a general apathy towards human life," said Siddhant Khandekar, a healthcare analyst at ICICI Direct in Mumbai, about the situation. "We are sitting on a time bomb and it will soon explode if corrective measures are not taken."

FDA and CDSCO are both corrupt, and both put profits before people

The snowballing scandal involving CDSCO's role in aiding and abetting Big Pharma's criminal endeavors is not really a shock, especially when you consider the fact that the FDA has been doing the exact same thing in the U.S. for many decades now. The only difference is that India's parliament is actually now trying to address the issue and bring it to light, while U.S. lawmakers continue to themselves collude with both Big Pharma and the FDA.

Just last week, the FDA actually proposed loosening the already-lax requirements for drug approval by allowing many new drugs to gain market approval without safety testing or clinical trials. If the FDA and so-called medical experts perceive a new drug as being potentially beneficial, the agency wants to be able to simply approve it now and ask questions later (http://www.reuters.com).

So in essence, the FDA is just as bad as CDSCO, if not worse. And yet there is no investigation into the FDA's coalescence with the drug industry taking place here in the U.S. like is being done in India. It can now be said that the government of a developing country in the Far East is actually more concerned with protecting its people than is our own supposed government "of the people, by the people, and for the people."

Proof: MMS cures malaria, despite Red Cross cover-up

Proof: MMS cures malaria, despite Red Cross cover-up

(NaturalNews) The International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the parent organization of the more widely known American Red Cross, is currently engaged in a massive cover-up of a simple, non-toxic cure for malaria. A recent field trial conducted with a team of Red Cross humanitarian workers in Uganda found that 100 percent of malaria victims treated with a simple solution mixed in water were healed within 24 to 48 hours -- but now the Red Cross is disassociating from the findings, claiming the trial never even happened.

A leaked documentary film recently posted to YouTube shows a team of experts heading to the small Ugandan village of Iganga, where a joint trial evaluating the effects of sodium chlorite activated to produce chlorine dioxide, a solution more popularly known as MMS, took place back in December with the help of Ugandan Red Cross workers. The film, which features a number of Red Cross officials and other workers administering the solution to local villagers, details the progress of the trial from start to finish, highlighting its important findings.

You can watch the film here:
http://youtube.com

Narrated by Klaas Proesmans, CEO of the Water Reference Center, a group affiliated with the Red Cross, the film demonstrates how MMS is an effective treatment and cure for malaria, and how it has the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of people living in Africa and elsewhere by preventing millions of needless deaths. Specifically, the film highlights how every single villager given MMS as part of the field trial was cleared of malaria in two days or less, an astounding success rate that is worthy of further inquiry.

"Every other day we had around 150 to maybe 200 patients," participate in the study, states Proesmans in the film. "In total, we identified 154 malaria positive patients, together with the local health authorities or the doctors. All of them were treated. All of them were, between 24 hours and 48 hours, malaria negative ... without any side effects."

The film also features many others who divulge the benefits of MMS as observed during the study, focusing as well on how existing water treatment protocols involving sodium chlorite are already helping local villagers avoid or become cured of malaria. The obvious takeaway from the film, in other words, is that MMS holds incredible potential for curing malaria quickly, inexpensively, and safely, something that any humanitarian-minded individual or organization, including the Red Cross, should welcome with open arms.

Is the Red Cross as a humanitarian organization really all about helping people?

But rather than acknowledge these powerful findings and look into them further, the Red Cross dragged its feet in analyzing the data and proceeded with business as usual, without any further inquiry into the potential benefits of MMS. When pressed, the organization later denied having any affiliation with the research, implying that no trial was ever even conducted. Now that actual footage of the trial has been leaked, however, the Red Cross has some serious explaining to do.

"To date, the Red Cross has done nothing with the results, except, of course ... to hide the truth and tell lies," says Leo Koehof, an MMS specialist who was involved with producing the film. "This is equivalent to genocide," he adds, noting that even Klaas Proesmans, who was featured in the film as an apparent proponent of MMS, has backed off and disassociated himself from the findings.

Proesmans and the Red Cross apparently take their cues from the much larger medical-industrial complex and its "humanitarian" affiliates, which are apparently disinterested in actually finding a cure for malaria. If they really were all about saving lives as they claim, then they would take seriously the findings of this buried field trial and conduct further research on MMS. But their actions prove that they are more interested in towing the status quo rather than actually helping people.

Groundbreaking investigation reveals Monsanto teaming up with US military to target GMO activists

Groundbreaking investigation reveals Monsanto teaming up with US military to target GMO activists

(NaturalNews) A hard-hitting investigative report recently published by a prominent German newspaper has uncovered some shocking details about the tactics being used by chemical giant Monsanto in assuming control of global agriculture. According to this thorough analysis, Monsanto appears to be aggressively targeting independent researchers, scientists, activists, and others opposed to genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) by utilizing the vast resources and manpower of both the United States federal government and the American military-industrial complex

The report, which recently appeared in the July 13 print edition of Suddeutsche Zeitung (SZ), explains in rigorous detail how both individuals and groups opposed to GMOs and other chemical-based crop technologies have been threatened, hacked, slandered and terrorized for daring to digress from the pro-GMO status quo. On numerous documented occasions, pertinent information about the dangers of GMOs or lack of GMO safety data has been effectively blocked from timely release by mysterious forces that many say are the chemical industry in disguise.

"A conspicuously large number of Monsanto critics report regular attacks by professional hackers," explains an English-translated snippet from the SZ report. "There are (Monsanto) ties with the U.S. secret services, the U.S. military, with very hard operating private security companies and of course, with the U.S. government."

A telling example of this was when the European environmental group Friends of the Earth (FOTE), together with the German Environmental and Nature Protection Association (BUND), was targeted prior to releasing a damning study on the health-damaging effects of glyphosate, the primary active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide. A mysterious virus infected the computer of the study's main organizer just days before publishing, which threatened to delay several important press releases.

The distinguished GMO truth website GMWatch.org has also been relentlessly targeted with "cyber attacks" since at least 2007, a disturbing trend that the site's main editor is convinced originates from the biotechnology industry. As we reported back in 2012, some of the strongest attacks against the site came just weeks and days before the historic Proposition 37 vote in California, which would have mandated GMO labeling at the retail level.

Monsanto's targeting activities made possible through corporate takeover of federal government

As it turns out, Monsanto has many close friends within the ranks of the U.S. federal government these days. Scores of key government positions, in fact, are now held by former Monsanto executives, a strategic move that has given the multinational corporation exclusive access to the types of resources necessary to carry out cyber attacks against its opponents on a massive scale.

Monsanto's own executives have even admitted in years past that so-called cyber "warfare" is necessary for the purpose of protecting its own economic interests both domestically and abroad.

"Imagine the internet as a weapon, sitting on a table," former Monsanto Head of Public Relations Jay Byrne is quoted as saying back in 2001. "Either you use it or your opponent does, but somebody's going to get killed."

These are powerful words, and ones that ring increasingly true as reports continue to emerge about Monsanto's intimidatory tactics against foreign governments that refuse its offerings. Confidential documents recently made public through Wikileaks, for instance, revealed a plan by government officials to "retaliate" against nations that refused to accept GMOs, even when the people of those nations wanted nothing to do with the technology.

All the sordid details of the U.S. government's collusion activities with the biotechnology industry are available in the full, English-translated SZ report, which you can read here:

MSNBC host says newborn infants don't count as 'alive' unless parents decide they do; infanticide is the new abortion

MSNBC host says newborn infants don't count as 'alive' unless parents decide they do; infanticide is the new abortion

 (NaturalNews) Today Natural News denounces Melissa Harris-Perry, the latest talking head "death worshipper" to publicly imply that she supports the murder of living, breathing newborn children. According to Harris-Perry, life begins when the parents feel like life begins. And together with some twisted new "ethics" arguments from the radical left, this can include months or years after a child is born.

That's why I need to premise this article with a disclaimer: This article is not about abortion. It's about the murder of children after they are born. Because once a child is born alive, terminating that life is no longer a "choice" … it's murder by every legal and moral standard. Because while abortion friends and foes can argue about when life begins in the womb, no one disagrees that a child born alive is, well, ALIVE… do they?

Indeed, they do. MSNBC talking head Melissa Harris-Perry insists that life only begins when the parents have a "feeling" that it begins. "When does life begin? I submit the answer depends an awful lot on the feeling of the parents. A powerful feeling -- but not science," Harris-Perry said to nationwide astonishment on her July 21 MSNBC show.

And in one stroke, she simultaneously condones the murder of newborn infants (i.e. "post-birth abortion") while attacking the science of biology which unambiguously states that a living, breathing infant with a heartbeat and brain function is alive, not dead.

But don't tell that to the radical abortion whackos. Far beyond arguing for the "right" to abort a baby in the first or second trimester, many abortion advocates who run in the same circles as Melissa Harris-Perry are now publicly arguing that it is okay for parents to kill their children up to age three. This is now being promoted as a "post-birth abortion."

It was also called a "fourth trimester abortion" by a clever pollster who recently took to the streets of George Mason University to find out if summertime college students would sign a petition legalizing fourth-trimester abortions. Nearly all who were asked to sign the petition did so! One of the college students even asked whether the procedure would "cause harm to the child."

"Well the child wouldn't be there anymore," responded the pollster, after which the college student then proceeded to sign the petition.

Watch this video yourself at:


And yes, this is how incredibly stupid many of today's college students really are. Then again, I remember a guy back in college who walked in on a group of us watching a football game and asked, "How many quarters are there in a football game?" His lack of mathematical prowess would have made him a ripe target for the "fourth trimester abortion" gimmick, I'll bet.

Murdering live babies under the label of "abortion"

Let's be clear about where all this is headed. This is not about arguing over a woman's right to have a first- or second-trimester abortion. This isn't even a debate about a third-trimester abortion, the kind of abortion that was recently outlawed in Texas, much to the despair of late-term abortion advocates across the country, some of whom actually chanted "Hail Satan" in unison at the Austin abortion rally.

This is really about the zealous desire of the radical left to legalize the "aborting" of babies after they are born alive so that parents can have the legal right to kill living babies they suddenly decide they don't want to raise.

Getting back to Harris-Perry, according to her radical brand of death culture ideology, a parent can "decide" that a baby born alive isn't really alive yet. That parent can wait to see whether the baby is well-behaved, or cute, or has the right skin color, or whatever, before deciding whether to keep it or kill it. If such an ideology were fronted by someone like George Bush, it would be wildly derided as barbaric and anti-human, but because the idea of murdering newborn babies is being pushed by liberals, it is met with silence instead of outrage.

"When a pregnancy is wanted . . . It is easy to think of the bump as a baby," says Melissa Harris-Perry, implying that when a pregnancy is not wanted, that bump isn't a baby at all. Somehow it's just a mass of dead tissue that you can dispose of at will. The fact that the "bump" results in a live childbirth is never admitted by people like Harris-Perry. The baby isn't "alive" until you decide it is!

Recently, two black parents were shocked to find that the woman gave birth to a white baby. According to Melissa Harris-Perry, these two black parents can now "decide" their white baby isn't alive at all and therefore commit infanticide that's rephrased as a "post-birth abortion."

This is the position embraced by the radical left: babies are not humans, and it is okay to murder them even up to age three.

Newborn babies have no "moral right to life"

A study published in the Journal of Medical Ethics argues that newborn babies have no "moral right to life," and are thus not actually "persons." Alberto Giubilini, from The University of Milan, and Francesca Minerva, a post-doctoral fellow at The University of Melbourne's Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics, are heroes of the radical left. They argue that infanticide should be legal but renamed "post-birth abortion."

They insist that newborn babies have no right to life and that parents can simply "decide" to kill their children for all sorts of reasons, including feeling like the child will be too expensive to raise, or suddenly discovering the fact that newborn babies cry a lot.

"Rather than being actual persons, newborns were potential persons," write the study authors. They don't really count as human beings until the parents decide they do.

This appears to be the same argument being made by MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry, who expressed extreme outrage over the murder of Trayvon Martin but seems to openly embrace the murder of countless black infants who are born alive and healthy but are "unwanted" by their parents. Life begins based "on the feeling of the parents," she submits. So it's utterly unscientific and subject to (liberal) interpretation, which in this case seems to favor infanticide and even eugenics. (By far most aborted babies in America are Black and Hispanic. If post-birth abortion is openly embraced, most of the murdered infants will also be Black and Hispanic.)

And so the violent contradiction of radical leftist ideology is exposed in the raw: Liberals claim to support "equality" but then they consider living babies to be "non-persons." Liberals claim to support racial minorities, yet they endorse and even encourage the murder of the young babies of their own minority race. Liberals claim that all life is sacred, but their glaring exception is the life of a newborn child, which should be the most sacred of all but is instead considered worthless.

When it comes to taking a life, pro-abortion liberals are all for it. But when it comes to defending your life with a legal firearm, liberals are aggressively opposed to it.

So let me get this straight: Murder is okay but self defense is evil?

Or better yet, if Trayvon Martin had been an "unwanted" newborn just six months old, would his murder have been celebrated by the left instead of mourned? Help me figure this out, please, because I'm trying to understand at what age, exactly, the murder of a young black baby invokes racially-charged marches across the nation vs. receiving applause from people like Melissa Harris-Perry. Apparently if Trayvon Martin had been murdered by his own parents 16 years earlier, that would have been perfectly acceptable to these people.

Melissa Harris-Perry is a modern-day holocaust denier

At the risk of being accused of making sense, let me state the obvious here: People like Melissa Harris-Perry are the new holocaust deniers. They are anti-human agenda pushers who literally inspire others to murder their own children.

I don't know about you, but I cannot accept, as a spiritual human being and a responsible member of society, the legalization of the murder of babies who are born alive and breathing. Yet that is precisely what the radical left is pushing for: the "right" to murder their own children up to the age of three. (Oh yeah, they're also pushing for the "right" to kill elderly people, but that's another article altogether.)

Such an agenda is despicable, if not downright demonic. And the fact that people like Harris-Perry spew this death cult violence on MSNBC -- the propaganda branch of the White house -- only further proves that MSNBC has lost all credibility and is now being run as a Hitler-style holocaust support network that tolerates hosts who effectively endorse the mass murder of babies all across America.

There is evil in this nation, and wicked women like Harris-Perry are steeped in it. Mainstream media networks like MSNBC thrive on it, and the destructive forces that currently occupy the White House gain power from it. Everywhere you turn, there are efforts under way to sow racial hatred, murder innocent babies, poison the food supply, chemically lobotomize children with vaccines and enslave the masses medically and economically.

I hereby denounce this wickedness, on the record, as a statement of principle for the world to witness. I will forever oppose these merchants of death and their sick, demented eugenics schemes. I will fight to protect the lives of the innocent for as long as I am alive, even if those innocent lives include two-day-old black babies who have just been brought into this world through the miracle of gestation and childbirth.

I call for all Natural News readers and supporters to take steps each and every day to resist evil and overcome the forces of death and destruction that now dominate our society through witch-hearted minions like Melissa Harris-Perry, a traitor to humanity and an endorser of the murder of children.

This woman should be immediately blackballed by the entire media and yanked off the air to return to her own little world of tampon earrings and dead newborns. Or maybe she will murder her own baby in the near future and feature it on the set of MSNBC in a special celebration broadcast complete with pentagrams etched on the desk and a chorus of hooded Satan worshippers drinking the blood of the dead fetus while Melissa Harris-Perry reads the names of sponsors. Sadly, it would probably get record ratings and be heralded by the death culture media as "pioneering television." And it would most certainly be cheered by the radical left as a "choice."

The hepatitis C study America never heard about - The Berkson Clinical Study

The hepatitis C study America never heard about - The Berkson Clinical Study

(NaturalNews) If someone were to take a look at the impressive credentials of Dr. Burton Berkson they would likely think that any study he conducted would easily find its way to publication - especially one which demonstrated remarkable success against chronic hepatitis C.

Such was not the case with the Berkson Clinical Study in the U.S., despite Dr. Berkson's credentials. Instead, the U.S. study ended up being published in the German medical journal Medizinishche Klinik.

A sample of Dr. Berkson's credentials:

  • Assist. Professor, Rutgers University
  • Assoc. Professor, Chicago State University
  • Visiting Professor, Max Planck Institute
  • Consultant Mushroom Poisoning, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
  • Toxicology Consultant, New Mexico Poison Control Center
  • Principal Investigator, FDA, IV Thiocatic Acid (Alpha-Lipoic Acid)
  • Member, New Mexico Medical/Legal Panel
  • Attending Physician, White Sands Missile Range
  • Member, El Paso Fund Alternative Medicine Committee
  • President of the Integrative Medical Center of New Mexico

Why the study wasn't published in the U.S.

The last two items in the credentials may give a hint of why Berkson's study was never published in America. The real publication killer; however, was likely the fact that the study used a non-patentable, inexpensive therapy of common dietary supplements and healthy dietary and lifestyle changes which had an estimated cost of less than $2,000 per year. Such a low cost would be quite a threat to the profits mainstream medicine rakes in on hepatitis C.

An estimated 3.2 million people in the U.S. have chronic hepatitis C, a contagious liver disease that results from infection with the hepatitis C virus. 17,000 people are newly infected with the hepatitis C virus each year and 85 percent go on to develop chronic hepatitis. Mainstream medicine essentially offers two treatment options: antiviral treatments (such as interferon) or liver transplants.

Antiviral treatment costs range well upwards of tens of thousands of dollars annually. The treatments are successful no more than 30 percent of the time and side effects can be horrific, especially so with interferon.

Liver transplant surgery costs $300,000 or more during the first three months alone - plus the continued costs of thousands of dollars for anti-rejection drugs and healthcare facility visits. It too can be painful and debilitating. The 15 year survival rate is about 58 percent.

The Berkson Clinical Study

In the Berkson Clinical Study, three patients were selected at random from a group of about 50 chronic hepatitis C charts at the Integrative Medical Center of New Mexico in Las Cruces. Each patient was given daily doses of the antioxidants alpha lipoic acid, milk thistle (silymarin) and selenium (selenomethiomine).

The patients also took vitamins B, C, and E and a mineral supplement each day. They were requested to eat a diet that included at least six servings of fresh vegetables and fruits, four ounces or fewer of meat per meal, and eight glasses of water. It was also suggested that they reduce stress and exercise, including at least a one-mile walk three times a week.

The patients

One of the patients had been treated with steroids and interferon without success. A mass in her liver was diagnosed as probable cancer and she was told there was no hope. Another patient had similarly been treated with interferon without success. She had been told a liver transplant was her only option. The third patient was on the verge of transplant surgery when she decided to investigate a more conservative approach.

The results

From the study's conclusion:

"All three women recovered quickly and their laboratory values remarkably improved. Furthermore, liver transplantation was avoided and the patients are back at work, carrying out their normal activities, and feeling healthy."

Health insurance premiums rise $1,975 since Obamacare passed

Health insurance premiums rise $1,975 since Obamacare passed

 (NaturalNews) After being signed into law in 2010, the massive Affordable Care Act has set off massive domino effects. As the law gains speed, affordable health insurance is becoming a myth and higher premiums are the reality. Even as politicians like Obama lift the ACA on a pedestal, there is no denying the simple negative consequences this law is bringing. Health insurance premiums are rising for many people. The average health care premium for a family in 2010, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation was $13,770. After two years of Obamacare implementation, the average health insurance premiums have raised $1,975 to a total of $15,745.

That's why they wrote in the individual mandate

Proponents of the Affordable Care Act say that the benefits of the law won't be realized until full implementation, which Obama himself has delayed. What may hold the law together is the survival of the individual mandate.

The bloated costs of insurance that pay for impractical health care practices and pharmaceutical drugs may only be lowered if the government forces healthy, independent people to pay into the insurance cesspool. With mandates in place, the government can protect the insurance companies by offsetting their costs through forcing people to pay for something they don't want or use.

As the costs of the current healthcare system bloat, it's becoming apparent that government meddling in people's personal health care actually harms people collectively. In 2016 government meddling will force a family of four to pay nearly $2100 in fines, also deemed an "assessment" in the Affordable Care Act playbook.

$2,100 fine will make it harder for families to take care of their own health

For those who take care of their own health, for those who struggle to find organic foods in a country of GMOs, the extra burden of a $2100 fine will cut right into their healthy-eating budget.

So when professionals say the $2,100 fine will be cheaper than buying health insurance, it realistically isn't cheaper at all. Before the law, people who didn't want or need health insurance paid no fine. $2100 is not cheaper than $0. With the fine and the inflating value of the dollar, some will find it even more difficult to eat healthy and afford their own natural medicine.

Being forced to pay into this medical system is absolute tyranny. Those who say paying health insurance premiums is an American responsibility are finely misled and herded into a failed philosophy of health care. Health care actually begins in an individual's mind. It starts at the cellular level. Heavy metals and pesticides that build up in the human cells block nutrient utilization. People remain sick under the current system because allopathic doctors rarely ever talk about detoxification at the cellular level. Modern health care rarely talks about alkalizing the body to prevent cancer and disease. It's almost always based on prescription drugging and medical tests. In fact, Obamacare expands upon these ideas, doing nothing to speak about nutrition and the power of juicing organic fruits and vegetables to cure practically any disease.

Obamacare's free services are a trap

Instead, the Affordable Care Act mandates everyone pay for "free" procedures - procedures like:
Free mammograms for women over 40: These mammograms actually subject women to doses of radiation and false positives that make women think they need to remove their breasts to prevent cancer.
Free annual flu shots for everyone: The concoctions are direct injections of formaldehyde and thimerosal, which contribute to cellular toxicity in the human body, welcoming disease.
Depression screening: These tests will give pharmaceutical companies direct access to experimentation on people's brains, as psychotic medications are unleashed on a whole new generation of "depressed" people, who are simply just not absorbing the correct nutrients in their diets to maintain healthy brain function.
Free birth control for women: This is a handy and universal sterilization method, which wreaks havoc on a female's hormones, damaging fertility and natural body functions.

High premiums are not the only consequences

As health insurance premiums rise dramatically, the only thing that may keep them from going through the roof is the individual mandate, but will millions of Americans submit to the mandate or or will people choose their own healthcare over the dying system. The real consequence of the Affordable Care Act may not be the economics, but might actually be the acceptance of tyranny, as people are forced to pay for something against their will. Worse yet, this ACA law will be responsible for expanding current practices that are tying people in red tape instead of giving them empowering knowledge to take care of their own health.

(NaturalNews) The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has once again been caught removing pertinent but indicting information about vaccines from its website. This time it involves the infamous polio vaccine, up to 98 million doses of which have been exposed as containing a cancer-causing virus that is now believed to be responsible for causing millions of cancers in America, according to the CDC.

The information was posted on an official CDC fact sheet entitled Cancer, Simian Virus 40 (SV40), and Polio Vaccine, which has since been removed from the CDC's website. Fortunately, RealFarmacy.com was able to archive the damning page before the CDC ultimately removed it, presumably because SV40 has been receiving considerable attention lately due to its connection to causing cancer.

You can view the link to the original CDC page on SV40 and polio vaccines, which is no longer active, here:

As you will notice on the archived CDC page, the SV40 virus was allegedly first discovered in monkeys back in 1960, and not long after began appearing inexplicably in polio vaccines. The SV40 virus, according to this same page, has been linked to causing a variety of human cancers, including childhood leukemia, lung cancer, bone cancer, and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Though the CDC denies a definitive causal link between SV40 and cancer, it implies that the virus, which was supposedly removed from all polio vaccines in 1963, was problematic in relation to cancer development. More than 98 million people, in fact, may have been exposed to SV40 as a result of receiving government-recommended polio vaccines back in the 1960s, and many of these may have developed cancer as a result.

"More than 98 million Americans received one or more doses of polio vaccine from 1955 to 1963 when a proportion of vaccine was contaminated with SV40," explains the CDC. "[I]t has been estimated that 10-30 million Americans could have received an SV40 contaminated dose of vaccine."

SV40 virus in polio vaccines linked to bone cancer, mesothelioma

So why the sudden removal of this important information from the CDC's website? The cached CDC page, as you will notice, makes sure to dissuade its readers from thinking that SV40 has been conclusively linked to causing cancer, even though it was demonstrated back in 1961 by the National Institute of Health (NIH) that SV40 is directly linked to causing tumor formation.

"Like other polyomaviruses, SV40 is a DNA virus that has been found to cause tumors and cancer," explains RealFarmacy.com. "SV40 is believed to suppress the transcriptional properties of the tumor-suppressing genes in humans through the SV40 Large T-antigen and SV40 Small T-antigen. Mutated genes may contribute to uncontrolled cellular proliferation, leading to cancer."

As far as specific conditions linked to SV40, Michele Carbone, Assistant Professor of Pathology at Loyola University in Chicago, found that the virus is present in many cases of both osteosarcoma bone cancer and the increasingly prevalent lung cancer variety known as mesothelioma. As it turns out, Carbone identified SV40 in about one-third of all osteosarcoma cases studied, and in 40 percent of other bone cancers. The same was true for 60 percent of all cases of mesothelioma.

"Many authorities now admit much, possibly most, of the world's cancers came from the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines, and hepatitis B vaccines, produced in monkeys and chimps," adds RealFarmacy.com. "It is said (that) mesothelioma is a result of asbestos exposure, but research reveals that 50 percent of the current mesotheliomas being treated no longer occur due to asbestos but rather the SV40 virus contained in polio vaccination."
