Gallstones and kidney stones are no problem for Jin Qian Cao known as Coin Grass

Gallstones and kidney stones are no problem for Jin Qian Cao known as Coin Grass



(NaturalNews) The Chinese name Jin Qian Cao applies to two different
herbs capable of dissolving gallstones (One is actually called Guang Jin
Qian Cao). However, both are known as Coin Grass. The most popular of
these herbs is the Jin Qian Cao herb (Lysimachia christinae). However
Guang Jin Qian cao herb (Desmodium styracifolium) is also very
effective. Either one works so well it is hard to say which is best.
Many formulas use equal parts of both and this seems to be the most
efficient.

A 2,000 year old story, widely accepted as history in
China states: "A loving couple lived in a small village in China. The
husband developed a pain below his ribs. After a few days he died. The
wife was so upset she begged to have an autopsy done on her husband. A
stone was found in her husband`s gallbladder. In determination to find
out why this stone killed him, she hung the stone on a string around her
neck. One day after walking back from gathering flowers to put on her
husbands grave she noticed the stone was less than half the size and was
crumbling. Apparently she had carried the flowers, with Coin Grass as a
part of the arrangement, back with her while the Coin Grass was resting
against the stone around her neck. The herbalist in the village learned
of this and proclaimed, "We have discovered a cure for stones in the
gallbladder"."

The herb was called Jin Qian Cao or "Golden Coin
Grass". Herbalists later found that Coin Grass will dissolve kidney
stones just as proficiently. More recently, herbalists have found that
adding Gravel Root (Eupatorium purpureum ) to Jin Qian Cao can work a
bit better on kidney stones than Jin Qian Cao can by itself.

In
TCM, dissolving stones is accomplished by clearing damp heat. The best
way to use this method is to take Jin Qian Cao as a strong tincture and
combine it with the classic TCM patent herbal formula in pill form known
as Long Dan Xie Gan Wan. This will assure you get enough Jin Qian Cao in the protocol. Patent herbal pills for Gallstones will often not contain enough of the Jin Qian Cao herb.

The
"Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine" reported Jin Qian Cao had
dramatic effects in the treatment of gallstone through case reports of a
study involving 52 patients with cholecystitis. Jin Qian Cao herb alone was given and over 76% of patients showed complete recovery.

Gallstones
are formations of crystals, composed of either cholesterol or calcium
salts, in the gallbladder or the bile duct. In the United States, up to
20% of people over 65 have gallstones.
Patients with gallstones in the gallbladder usually remain
asymptomatic, while patients with gallstones blocking the bile duct may
experience severe or life-threatening infection of the bile duct, the
pancreas, or the liver. Risk factors of gallstones include female
gender, old age, obesity and a Western diet.

Jin Qian Cao is now
available in better herb stores. Remember to combine it with the Chinese
herbal patent, Long Dan Xie Gan Wan. Also remember to add Gravel Root
with Jin Qian Cao or buy the combo if you are trying to dissolve kidney
stones.

New Health Ranger video explains why heavy metals are so dangerous to human health: lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury

New Health Ranger video explains why heavy metals are so dangerous to human health: lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury



 (NaturalNews) I've just posted an informative new video which explains
why heavy metals are so toxic to human health, with details on how each
heavy metal impacts particular organs in the body.

Click here to watch the video on YouTube.

The video covers the toxicity of:

• Aluminum
• Arsenic
• Cadmium
• Copper
• Lead
• Mercury

In
this video, you'll learn many astonishing facts about where toxic heavy
metals come from, which organs they tend to target, and even how heavy
metals can cause personality changes in humans.

It's true:
Copper toxicity can lead to mental instability and insanity, while
cadmium toxicity can lead to an aggressive, "bullying" personality with
frequent outbursts of anger.

To help readers avoid heavy metals in their foods, we've begun posting food research results at Labs.NaturalNews.com,
where hundreds of different foods, superfoods and nutritional products
are in the process of being posted with their heavy metals composition
analysis. (More results are being posted each week...)

Using this
information, consumers can greatly reduce their intake of toxic heavy
metals, thereby protecting their bodies from cumulative heavy metals
toxicity.

Use this information to avoid metals that can harm you the most

People
can also specifically seek to reduce specific metals that might target
organs where they already have weakness or vulnerability. For example:

• People with kidney disease should seek to drastically reduce cadmium intake.

• People with cancer should drastically reduce arsenic intake.

• People with mental health issues should drastically reduce copper intake.

• People with cognitive disorders or depression should drastically reduce lead intake.

• People with Alzheimer's or dementia should drastically reduce aluminum intake.

Natural cures for allergies

Natural cures for allergies



(NaturalNews) Anaphylaxis shock is a life-threatening allergic reaction -
usually caused by food, medications or insect bites. Worldwide,
according to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology,
allergic diseases have been on the rise for over 50 years. But, none of
the 'experts' ever get to the heart of the matter.

What causes allergies?
On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman and Dr. Kaumeyer
talk about the true nature of allergies. Learn how to identify the true
cause of allergies; proper medical testing and solutions. Join us for an
informative show.

How do genetically engineered foods cause allergies?

In
reality, the United States population is being used like guinea pigs in
a sick experiment by the biotech industry - led by Monsanto. Since
1996, the federal government has allowed foreign bacteria and viruses to
be artificially-inserted into the DNA of soy, corn, cottonseed and
canola plants. In fact, we've seen a direct relationship between the
dramatic rise in allergies and the genetic engineering of our food
supply.

Does this sound natural (or safe) to you?

These
'altered' (toxic) foods have never been tested, for safety, on humans
and legalized by a profit-over-people motivated federal government. Most
of the 'acceptable' safety tests on GMOs have only been run for 3
months or less. But, there is one 2-year animal study, conducted by 'The
Seralini Team', which reveals massive health
problems - including organ damage, premature death and cancerous
tumors. By the way, the first tumors appeared in the 4th month of eating
GMOs.

Find out how to reduce your risk for allergies on the next
NaturalNews Talk Hour with Jonathan Landsman and Dr. Jen Kaumeyer.
Educate yourself and learn how to avoid allergies naturally.

Are there any natural cures for allergies?

Absolutely!
The main thing to remember is 'know the cause'. You must first identify
- what triggers your allergic reaction? Is it a seasonal, emotional,
pet or food-related issue? For example, there are many toxic ingredients
in factory-farmed, milk products. The answer is simple - don't buy
them.

Seasonal allergies
can be a little trickier to resolve. Some people overcome their
allergies by eliminating highly-processed foods or consuming a local
(organic) honey on a regular basis.

Homeopathy, aromatherapy and
herbs like, chamomile, elderberry and yarrow may help - but its best to
consult with a qualified, healthcare provider about your particular
issues. Bottom line, learn everything you can about cleaning up the
diet, avoiding GMOs and strengthening the immune system to eliminate
allergies forever!

This week's guest: Dr. Jen Kaumeyer, a leading expert on natural remedies for allergies

Discover the unconventional truth about allergies and natural solutions - Sun. Jan. 26

Dr.Jen
Kaumeyer is a native of Southern Louisiana and began her studies at
Louisiana State University - where she majored in microbiology and
nutrition. She went on to earn her bachelor's degree in biology from the
College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina and received her
Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from the Southwest College of
Naturopathic Medicine in Arizona. In 2011, Dr. Kaumeyer moved from Raleigh to begin practicing at the Riordan Clinic.

'Dr.
Jen' is a 4th generation doctor, but the first in her family to pursue
naturopathic medicine. As a Naturopathic physician, her main focus is
getting to the root cause of a medical problem, not just treating the
symptoms; a philosophy that aligns perfectly with the 38 year treatment
history of the Riordan Clinic. As a Naturopath, she utilizes the healing
power of nature to restore the health of her clients.

Health Ranger accused of elaborate hoax for conducting science demonstration with Wheaties cereal

Health Ranger accused of elaborate hoax for conducting science demonstration with Wheaties cereal



 (NaturalNews) Yesterday I posted what I thought would be a rather ho-hum video showing Wheaties flakes clinging to a common magnet.
I then explained that Wheaties cereal contains ferrous metal fragments.
Immediately, I was accused of staging an elaborate hoax.

P.R.
Newswire, which hilariously bills itself as "the authoritative source of
news and information for leading global media organizations," totally
refused to publish my food science demonstration, telling me they
thought it must be a hoax of some sort. Or voodoo. Or special effects.

I
was dumbfounded. And then I saw on Youtube and Facebook that people
were accusing me of using elaborate computer graphics, a green screen,
special effects or sleight of hand to "fake" the astonishing video which
has already gone viral.

Seriously, I've come to the conclusion
that people are incredibly stupid... too stupid to understand basic high
school physics involving the action of magnets. Somehow, people believe
pharmaceutical pills will make them healthy, but they can't believe
that breakfast cereals contain shards of metal which can be lifted by
magnets. Hmmm...

Magnets are not voodoo or witchcraft. They
really do operate using invisible force fields which can affect objects
at a distance. That's not a conspiracy theory; it's basic fundamental
physics. If magnets didn't work, you wouldn't even be reading this
because the entire national power grid would not exist. Generators, in
fact, turn mechanical rotary energy into alternative electrical current
by using powerful magnets.

If you have a cereal like Wheaties
which is full of metal fragments, and you use a high-powered magnet to
manipulate them, you can cause tiny cereal flakes to leap off the table,
or cling to the magnet, or even be repelled from the magnet if you push
them to the correct region of the magnet. This isn't rocket science. I personally didn't even think this would be controversial.

But
because we now live in a society where people are unbelievably ignorant
of basic scientific phenomena, I was forced to film a video response
explaining all this and clearly showing absolute proof that Wheaties cereal
can be manipulated, lifted or even briefly "levitated" using magnets. I
also plan to send this to PR Newswire, so that they can be amazed by my
"magic powers."

Watch that short video here, and see the proof for yourself:

Fallen Angels - The Watchers Series Chapter 6

Associated Press caught 'restructuring' old EPA news to mislead readers; mainstream media blindly plays along

Associated Press caught 'restructuring' old EPA news to mislead readers; mainstream media blindly plays along



 (NaturalNews) Four days ago, the Associated Press reported that
coal-fired power plants are dumping enormous quantities of pollutants
into U.S. waterways. According to the Associated Press, the EPA says
that coal-fired power plants are dumping nearly 2 million pounds of
aluminum, 79,000 pounds of arsenic, 64,000 pounds of lead and even 2,820
pound of mercury each year into U.S. waterways.

This original story by the AP (dated January 18, 2014) was published, word-for-word, across the Denver Post, ABC News, the Washington Post, the San Jose Mercury News and even Salon.com.

There's only one problem with all this reporting: nobody bothered to check their sources.

The
original AP story turns out to have been "restructured" from old news,
packaged to appear like breaking news for 2014 even though it actually
traces back to 2009 (see below). AP actually featured the story in its "Big Story" section which implies that the stories published there are big, breaking news stories.

Associated Press quotes no one and cites no announcement or study

In its original story:

• AP never cited any person or department within the EPA.

• AP never linked to any announcement, publication, story or press release by the EPA.

• No scientific study was cited or named.

•
No other news organization that ran the AP story bothered to check
whether there was a legitimate source or scientific study to support
these data. They simply ran the AP story word-for-word, without
bothering to fact-check a single statement in the story.

The information actually goes back to an EPA paper published in 2009

I
did a little digging on this -- a journalistic habit which I fully
realize makes the people at AP extremely angry, as no one is supposed to
actually fact-check the "Ministry of Truth" on what it publishes.
(Which is why the AP routinely gets away with such loose journalism and
why Reuters is almost always a more trustworthy source for news.)

It turns out this story goes back to a proposed rule from 2013 in which the EPA described its desire to restrict wastewater pollution as revealed in a scientific report issued in 2009. (Found here - PDF)

This PDF file describes the toxic effects of lead, cadmium, aluminum, mercury and so on.

So
how did the Associated Press create a whole new story in 2014 based on
old news from 2013 which was itself based on an old study from 2009? The
AP simply "restructured" the story as if it were a recent announcement
by the EPA, all while making sure nobody was actually cited in the
story. I have no doubt that when this story ran a few days ago, the
people at the EPA were scratching their heads and wondering, "Huh? Did
we travel back in time or something?"

I wonder what it feels like
to work at the AP and be able to just make up whatever news you want
and magically have hundreds of mainstream media newspapers blindly copy
and paste it onto their own websites without even asking for a single
source or citation. For the record, folks, that's not journalism. That's an embarrassment to journalism.

The EPA has an important point in all this

I
don't disagree with the substance of the EPA's concern, however. The
EPA has an important point, and wastewater pollution from coal-fired
power plants is a very big problem for our world. The routine release of
arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and other toxic elements into our world
is justifiably alarming, and I'm personally seeing alarming evidence of
this pollution showing up in my laboratory testing of foods for toxic heavy metals.

But
the way in which AP dredged up a proposed rule from early 2013 and then
managed to get this engineered story replicated across hundreds of
other news websites -- all while not citing a single source for their
story -- just smacks of the kind of abandonment of journalistic
standards we've all come to expect from the Associated Press. Does
anybody fact-check stories at the AP? Or is that too "old school" for
the AP now?

The really sad part in all this is that neither the
Washington Post, nor the Denver Post, nor ABC News nor anybody else
bothered to fact-check this story, either. As far as I can tell, Natural News is the only news organization in the world who has fact-checked this story.

FYI, here's what the AP says the EPA claims is being released into waterways each year in the U.S. via coal-fired power plants:

• Aluminum: 1.97 million pounds

• Arsenic: 79,200 pounds

• Lead: 64,000 pounds

• Manganese: 14.5 million pounds

• Mercury: 2,820 pounds

• Nitrogen: 30 million pounds

• Phosphorous: 682,000 pounds

• Selenium: 225,000 pounds

• Zinc: 4.99 million pounds

For
the record, I don't agree that nitrogen, phosphorous, selenium and zinc
belong anywhere near the same threat category as lead, arsenic, mercury
and aluminum.

After the Collapse: Six Likely Events That Will Follow an Economic Crash

After the Collapse: Six Likely Events That Will Follow an Economic Crash



It’s not too difficult to understand that we are well on our way to a
paradigm shift in America; in fact we’re in the midst of it right now.
The writing is on the wall and can no longer be ignored.


The US government has run up trillions of dollars in debt, and given
the recent debates over the country’s debt ceiling, we can rest assured
that neither Congress or the President will act to curtail spending and
balance the budget. We will continue adding trillions of dollars to the national debt clock until such time that our creditors no longer lend us money.


From the monetary side, the Federal Reserve’s response to this
unprecedented crisis has been to simply “print” more money as is
necessary. On top of the trillions in dollars already printed thus far,
the Fed continues quantitative easing to the tune of about $80 billion
per month. It’s the only arrow left in the Fed’s quiver, because failing
to inject these billions into stock markets and banks will lead to an
almost instant collapse of the U.S. financial system. Unfortunately, the
current strategy is chock full of its own pitfalls, the least of which
being the real possibility of a hyperinflationary environment developing over coming months and years.


On Main Street, average Americans have seen their wealth decimated. They’ve lost millions of jobs
and homes over the course of the last five years. And if recent reports
are any indication, the destruction of the middle class will continue
unabated for years to come. The resulting effect is a vicious negative
feedback loop that continues to build upon itself. Americans no longer
have money (or credit) to spend to prop up the economy, thus more jobs
will be lost, leading to more people requiring government assistance for
everything from food to shelter.


We are, on every level, facing a collapse of unprecedented scale.


As noted by International Man Jeff Thomas of Casey Research, it’s not that difficult of an exercise to predict what’s coming next:

The number of people whose eyes have been opened seems to
be growing, and many of them are asking what the collapse will look
like as it unfolds. What will the symptoms be?


Well, the primary events are fairly predictable: they would
include major collapses in the bond and stock markets and possible
sudden deflation (primarily of assets), followed by dramatic inflation,
if not hyperinflation (primarily of commodities), followed by a crash of
several major currencies, particularly the euro and the US dollar.

We know a collapse is coming… If you’re paying attention you probably
have the distinct feeling that we are in the middle of it right now.
And guess what? The government and military know it’s coming too, as
evidenced by large-scale simulations of exactly such an event and its fallout.


But the collapse of our financial system, or hyperinflation of our
currency, or a meltdown in US Treasuries is only the beginning. We know
some or all of these events are all but a foregone conclusion.


What we don’t know is the timing of the trigger event that causes the
global panic to ensue and what will happen after these primary events
take hold.


According to Jeff Thomas, while we can’t know for sure, the following
“secondary events” are the most likely outcomes when the system as we
have come to know it destabilizes.

The secondary events will be less certain, but likely: increased unemployment, currency controls, protective tariffs, severe depression, etc.


But, along the way, there will be numerous surprises—actions taken by
governments that may be as unprecedented as they would be unlawful.
Why? Because, again, such actions are the norm when a government finds
itself losing its grip over the people it perceives as its minions. Here
are a few:

• Travel Restrictions. This will begin with
  restrictions on foreign travel, including suspension/removal of
  passports. (This has begun in a small way in both the EU and US.) Later,
  travel restrictions will be extended within the boundaries of countries
  (highway checkpoints, etc.)

• Confiscation of wealth. The EU has instituted the
  confiscation of bank accounts, which can be expected to become an
  international form of governmental theft. This does not automatically
  mean that other assets, such as precious metals and real estate will
  also be confiscated, but it does mean that the barrier for confiscation has been eliminated. There is therefore no reason to assume that any asset is safe from any government that approves theft through bail-ins.

• Food Shortages. The food industry operates on very
  small profit margins and survives only as a result of quick payment of
  invoices. With dramatic inflation, marginal businesses (suppliers,
  wholesalers, and retailers) will fall by the wayside. The percentage of
  failing businesses will be dependent upon the duration and severity of
  the inflationary trend.

• Squatters Rebellions. A dramatic increase in the
  number of home and business foreclosures will result in homelessness for
  anyone whose debt exceeds his ability to pay—even those who presently
  appear to be well-off. As numbers rise significantly, a
  new homeless class will be created amongst the former middle class. As
  they become more numerous, large scale ownership of property may give
  way to large scale “possession” of property.

• Riots. These will likely happen spontaneously due to the above conditions, but if not, governments will create them to justify their desire for greater control of the masses.

• Martial Law. The US has already prepared for this,
  with the passing of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA),
  which many interpret as declaring the US to be a “battlefield.” The NDAA
  allows the suspension of habeas corpus, indefinite detention, and the
  assumption that any resident may be considered an enemy combatant.
  Similar legislation may be expected in other countries that perceive
  martial law as a solution to civil unrest.

The above list is purposely brief—a sampling of eventualities that,
should they occur, will almost definitely come unannounced. As the
decline unfolds, they will surely happen with greater frequency.


Full article at Casey Research via The Daily Crux

We could go point by point on this list and provide a plethora of
evidence to validate Jeff’s claims, but that would take pages upon pages
of references.


The fact is that the US government, for the last decade, has been moving increasingly closer to what can only be described as a police state. With watch lists, militarized police departments, legislative actions, and executive orders the government has already set the stage for these secondary events.


When the system itself is no longer able to support the tens of
millions of Americans receiving monthly government assistance, one
hiccup could set the whole thing ablaze.


While it can’t be avoided on a national scale, there are advance
preparations that individuals and their families can make to, at the
very least, insulate themselves from the secondary event triggers. This
includes storing essential physical goods and keeping them in your
possession. Things like long-term food supplies, barterable goods, monetary goods, self defense armaments and having a well thought out preparedness plan will, if nothing else, provide you with the means necessary to stay out of the way it all hits the fan.

Popular breakfast cereals found to contain low levels of toxic heavy metals; Natural News Labs publishes results

Popular breakfast cereals found to contain low levels of toxic heavy metals; Natural News Labs publishes results



 (NaturalNews) A scientific study conducted at the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (www.ConsumerWellness.org)
has found that popular breakfast cereals such as Corn Flakes, Kix,
Uncle Sam, Raisin Bran and Honey Bunches of Oats are relatively free of
toxic heavy metals. These cereal products are made by companies like
Kellogg's, General Mills, Post and Nature's Path. Conducted by food
scientist and lab director Mike Adams, the study was based on atomic
spectroscopy analysis using ICP-MS instrumentation to test for aluminum,
mercury, arsenic, lead and cadmium. The announcement is posted at ConsumerWellness.org

A chart summarizing the results is available at:
http://labs.naturalnews.com/Heavy-Metals-Pop...

A video explanation of the findings has been posted at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrOJLQs1-ao

The study is part of a joint effort between the Consumer Wellness Center and Natural News (www.NaturalNews.com) to openly publish heavy metals test results for popular foods, groceries, herbs and dietary supplements.

"These
findings indicate that popular cereals tested demonstrate remarkably
low levels of toxic heavy metals in their composition," explained lead
scientist Mike Adams. "The concentration of metals detected in these
cereals was consistently lower than what we are finding in herbs,
superfoods or even many types of fresh produce."

Here's the full chart:

Low heavy metals does not mean low pesticides, GMOs or other chemicals

Adams
is quick to caution that an absence of heavy metals does not
necessarily mean these cereals are more nutritive or that they contain
no other contaminants. Conventionally-produced cereals may contain
traces of pesticides and herbicides. Some cereals are made from
genetically modified organisms, and the cereals with the lowest heavy
metals composition tend to be the most highly-processed or refined
cereals which tend to lack nutritive minerals such as zinc and selenium.

"The
more refined a cereal's raw ingredients, the lower the levels of heavy
metals we found," explained Adams, who still recommends consuming more
holistic, minimally-processed cereals based on organic ingredients (even
though they may contain slightly higher levels of heavy metals).

At
high enough concentrations, heavy metals are toxic to many organs in
the body, including the kidneys and brain. Lead is linked to lowered IQs
in children, cadmium is linked to kidney damage, and arsenic is known
to increase the risk of cancer.

Why Are Dozens Of High Ranking Officers Being Purged From The U.S. Military?

Michael Snyder
New American
January 17, 2014
Since Barack Obama has been in the White House, high ranking military officers have been removed from their positions at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented.  Things have gotten so bad that a number of retired generals are publicly speaking out about the “purge” of the U.S. military that they believe is taking place. 

Image: Barack Obama (Wikimedia Commons).

As you will see below, dozens of highly decorated military leaders have been dismissed from their positions over the past few years.  So why is this happening?  When I was growing up, my father was an officer in the U.S. Navy.  And what is going on right now is absolutely crazy – especially during a time of peace.  Is there a deliberate attempt to “reshape” the military and remove those that don’t adhere to the proper “viewpoints”?  Does someone out there feel a need to get officers that won’t “cooperate” out of the way?  Throughout world history, whatever comes next after a “military purge” is never good.  If this continues, what is the U.S. military going to look like in a few years?
Perhaps you are reading this and you think that “purge” is too strong a word for what is taking place.  Well, just consider the following quotes from some very highly decorated retired officers…
-Retired Army Major General Paul Vallely: “The White House protects their own. That’s why they stalled on the investigation into fast and furious, Benghazi and Obamacare. He’s intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.”
-Retired Army Major General Patrick Brady: “There is no doubt he (Obama) is intent on emasculating the military and will fire anyone who disagrees with him.”
-Retired Army Lt. General William G. “Jerry” Boykin: “Over the past three years, it is unprecedented for the number of four-star generals to be relieved of duty, and not necessarily relieved for cause.”
-Retired Navy Captain Joseph John: “I believe there are more than 137 officers who have been forced out or given bad evaluation reports so they will never make Flag (officer), because of their failure to comply to certain views.”
According to the Blaze, one anonymous Pentagon official has said that even young officers have been told “not to talk about Obama or the politics of the White House”…

A Pentagon official who asked to remain nameless because they were not authorized to speak on the matter said even “young officers, down through the ranks have been told not to talk about Obama or the politics of the White House. They are purging everyone and if you want to keep your job — just keep your mouth shut.”

Now this trend appears to be accelerating.  We have seen a whole bunch of news stories about military officers being dismissed lately.
Almost always, a “legitimate reason” is given for the dismissal.  And without a doubt, if a military officer is actually behaving unethically, that officer should be held accountable.
However, the reality is that everyone has “skeletons in the closet”, and if you really want to get rid of someone it is usually not too hard to find a way to justify your decision.
The following are excerpts from three news stories about military officers in trouble that have come out so far in 2014…
#1 The Air Force Times: A group of former Air Force majors, forced out this summer by a noncontinuation board, plans to file a lawsuit claiming the service had no right to separate them simply to meet end-strength numbers set by Congress.
More than 10 of the 157 dismissed majors are banding together to challenge the move in court, seeking either reinstatement or early retirement pay. All 157 had been twice passed over for promotion and were within six years of retirement.
#2 Defense News: Acting US Navy Undersecretary Robert Martinage, the department’s No. 2, has resigned under pressure, sources confirmed for Defense News.
The resignation, which Martinage announced to his staff Tuesday morning, came after allegations were made of inappropriate conduct with a subordinate woman, the sources confirmed.
#3 Huffington Post: The Air Force says 34 nuclear missile launch officers have been implicated in a cheating scandal and have been stripped of their certification in what is believed to be the largest such breach of integrity in the nuclear force.
Some of the officers apparently texted to each other the answers to a monthly test on their knowledge of how to operate the missiles. Others may have known about it but did not report it.
The cheating was discovered during a drug investigation that involves 11 Air Force officers across six bases in the U.S. and England.
—–
Taken alone, it would be easy to dismiss those stories as “coincidences”.  But when you put them together with the stories of dozens of other high ranking military officers that have been purged from the U.S. military in recent years, a very disturbing pattern emerges.
The following is a list of high ranking military officers that have been dismissed over the past few years that has been circulating all over the Internet.  I think that you will agree that this list is quite stunning…

Sir No Sir: The G.I. Revolt (BBC Storyville) "spreading democracy" for 30 years

MIT Professor Exposes Climate Change Hysteria

“The opportunities for taxation, for policies, for control, for crony capitalism are just immense”
Mikael Thalen
Infowars.com
January 17, 2014
A world-renowned climate expert is speaking out against the government’s ridiculous and continued climate change hysteria.



Speaking in regards to Massachusetts’ new $50 million climate change proposal, MIT Professor Richard Lindzen, a leading figure in the climate change movement, pointed out the absurdity of blaming every weather event on global warming and climate change.
“The changes that have occurred due to global warning are too small to account for,” Lindzen told WBZ-TV. “It has nothing to do with global warming, it has to do with where we live.”
Although supporting the theory of man-made global warming, Lindzen admitted that rhetoric from the political class and green movement has been nothing more than over-the-top “catastrophism.”
“Even many of the people who are supportive of sounding the global warning alarm, back off from catastrophism,” Lindzen said. “It’s the politicians and the green movement that like to portray catastrophe.”
Even more surprising, Lindzen goes on to point out the government’s obvious use of climate change alarmism to push greater state control, even warning over politicians’ use of “crony capitalism.”
“Global warming, climate change, all these things are just a dream come true for politicians. The opportunities for taxation, for policies, for control, for crony capitalism are just immense, you can see their eyes bulge,” Lindzen said.
The growing number of failed predictions from alleged global warming experts has only cooled the public’s belief in recent months.
From 2007 to 2009, Al Gore hysterically warned that the North Pole would be completely “ice-free” by 2013. Instead, 2013 experienced record breaking cold and major growth in Arctic ice.
Similarly, Gore made desperate warnings over the danger of increased hurricanes during the same time period. Climate scientists had trouble explaining the record low hurricanes that followed soon after.
In his 1992 book “Earth in the Balance,” Gore went on to claim that global warming would soon wipe coastal areas of Florida off the map in as little as a few decades. Sea level statistics taken 18 years later revealed Gore’s predictions to be completely inaccurate.
White House Science Adviser John P. Holdren, who made failed predictions of global cooling in his 1977 book Ecoscience, blamed the recent “polar vortex” on global warming. Researchers soon uncovered a 1974 Time Magazine article where scientists claimed a cold polar vortex was the result of global cooling instead.
Climate change alarmists have become so crazed in their beliefs that some have attempted to equate skepticism with racism, claiming any denial of global warming is a “sickness” in need of “treatment.”
Unsurprisingly, major environmental issues such as the ongoing Fukushima nuclear disaster are completely ignored by Gore and company. Given the massive amount of money Gore has continued to make from generating climate fear, it seems unlikely that any real disaster unable to generate cash will receive proper attention.

NSA extracts GPS location, contacts, passwords and financial transactions from millions of text messages

If you think the NSA isn’t reading your text messages,  you are sadly mistaken. Based on top secret data leaked by Edward Snowden, the NSA collects 200 million text messages a day from across the globe, using them to extract data including location, contact networks, passwords and credit card details, etc. (Full document here.)

The NSA program, codenamed Dishfire, collects “pretty much everything it can”, according to documents from the UK spy agency GCHQ, rather than merely storing the communications of existing surveillance targets.

The NSA has tapped its vast text database to get info in people’s travel plans, contact lists, financial transactions and more — including people under no suspicion of illegal activity.

On average, each day the NSA was able to extract:

• More than 5 million missed-call alerts, for use in contact-chaining analysis (working out someone’s social network from who they contact and when)

• Details of 1.6 million border crossings a day, from network roaming alerts

• More than 110,000 names, from electronic business cards, which also included the ability to extract and save images.

• Over 800,000 financial transactions, either through text-to-text payments or linking credit cards to phone users.

Health Ranger announces discovery of Metals Capturing Capacity for foods, botanicals, herbs and dietary supplements

Health Ranger announces discovery of Metals Capturing Capacity for foods, botanicals, herbs and dietary supplements

(NaturalNews) The Metals Capturing Capacity (MCC) describes the ability of any given food or dietary substance to bind with and "capture" a quantity of toxic elements such as lead, mercury, cadmium or even radioactive isotopes such as cesium-137. Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has now gone public with the discovery that many foods and dietary substances have unique "ionic affinities" for heavy metals and even elements with radioactive isotopes. A video explaining the discovery is available now at YouTube.


Until scientifically documented by Adams, the binding ability of foods has only been understood and described in vague terms with statements like, "Cilantro absorbs heavy metals" or "Zeolites can help detox heavy metals." Adams' research is now able to fully test these claims and document the actual micrograms per gram of toxic elements which are bound or "captured" by foods, superfoods, herbs and dietary substances. For starters, Adams has already documented that cilantro's reputation is vastly overstated: it actually performs very poorly in terms of metals affinity and binding.

Whole foods possess a natural defense against toxicity

Mike Adams' pioneering research now reveals that nearly all foods containing natural insoluble fibers are able to easily bind with dietary mercury. This even includes, surprisingly, Doritos (http://labs.naturalnews.com/Doritos_45_heavy...), as Doritos are based on GMO corn which naturally contains fibers. Virtually all grains, grasses, fruits and vegetables naturally bind with mercury with very high efficiency.

The practical application of this newfound knowledge is that people who are concerned about eating mercury in fish can now help defend themselves against that dietary mercury by making sure they consume fresh fruit, bread, high-fiber vegetables or even a fiber supplement with that same meal. By doing so, they will vastly reduce their body's absorption of the mercury from the fish (greater than 99% in some cases). Transference of mercury out of the fish and into the dietary fibers is accelerated by the presence of strong, healthy stomach acid. The more acidic the stomach acid, the greater the transference and "capturing" of mercury.

In other words, substances with high MCC numbers can be eaten together with contaminated foods to bind with and "capture" the toxic elements in the same meal. Mercury is the most easily captured toxic element, as mercury tends to stick to everything. Eating a meal of tuna together with a whole apple (fresh, raw and complete with its natural fibers) will help protect against the mercury in the tuna. The apple "captures" the mercury in the tuna and carries it out of the body in fecal matter. Chlorella and spirulina also have high selective affinity for certain toxic elements. Many algae products perform extremely well in this context.

The science behind the MCC: the Natural News Forensic Food Lab

The MCC is described in units of micrograms per gram. An MCC of 15, for example, means the substance in question is able to capture and bind with 15 micrograms of the named element for every gram of the substance. Most MCC numbers are below 2, indicating very low natural affinity for toxic elements, but some dietary substances, foods, superfoods and supplements have remarkable natural affinity for certain elements. Their MCC numbers can rise to 50 or higher.

At Labs.NaturalNews.com, Adams does not publish the actual MCC numbers but instead translates them into easy-to-read visual charts that show MCC ranges from "none" to "extremely high." You can view examples of this right now at Labs.NaturalNews.com

Mike Adams, also director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (www.ConsumerWellness.org), pioneered the methodology for determining the Metals Capturing Capacity of foods. He now directs the laboratory operations that continue to assess off-the-shelf food products for their MCC numbers. He has already made many new discoveries which he is busy documenting and writing up to be published in scientific papers.

How the MCC is actually determined

The MCC is determined by subjecting candidate substances to a simulated digestion process using a synthetic acid and a process designed to simulate the time duration, acid content, temperature and physical motions of human digestion. The digestive fluids are spiked with a known quantity of toxic elements, allowing the candidate food substance an opportunity to bind with and "capture" the toxic elements.

This process is conducted using a long list of quality control safeguards such as using stock element solutions traceable back to NIST standards as well as using multiple control "blank spikes" to determine the baseline for zero capturing capacity.

Once digestion is complete, food solids are separated from liquids using a process designed to mimic the function of the intestinal walls. The resulting liquids are then subjected to atomic spectroscopy analysis via ICP-MS conducted at parts per billion (ppb) sensitivity. Adams uses high-end ICP-MS instrumentation outfitted with a Collision Reaction System running He gas as a collision gas to reduce polyatomic interferences and thereby vastly increase the detection limits of the system. Elements are then quantitatively measured using a mass-to-charge ration mass analyzer discrimination chamber.

The resulting element concentrations are compared to a blank spike containing no foods or other materials, and the difference between resulting concentrations in the tested substance liquid is the amount of toxic elements which were captured by the candidate food substance. This is all detailed with great precision by Adams using university-level laboratory protocols and calibrations.

To see a video explanation of this process, watch the video here.

Findings so far

In his pioneering research, Adams has already made many discoveries about metals affinity and capturing.

• Most foods have very high affinity for mercury, a "sticky" heavy metal. Even junk foods and processed foods can effectively remove dietary mercury during digestion.

• Only about five percent of foods can bind with lead. The lead-binding potential of cilantro has been vastly overstated and is actually not very high.

• Even fewer foods have natural affinities for cadmium or arsenic.

• Aluminum is extremely difficult to bind with, but Adams has identified a handful of candidate substances that show early promise.

• The most difficult elements to capture are radioactive isotopes such as cesium-137, for which natural binding materials are extremely rare. To date, Adams has not identified any botanicals with high natural affinity for cesium, but his research continues.

Metals Capturing Capacity data is in the process of being published for hundreds of foods and dietary supplements at Labs.NaturalNews.com. (New results are uploaded approximately twice each week.)

98 million Americans were given polio vaccine contaminated with cancer-causing virus, admits CDC

98 million Americans were given polio vaccine contaminated with cancer-causing virus, admits CDC

(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:
http://www.cdc.gov

You can view the full archived CDC page here:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com

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."

Vaccine fraud exposed: Measles and mumps making a huge comeback because vaccines are designed to fail, say Merck virologists

Vaccine fraud exposed: Measles and mumps making a huge comeback because vaccines are designed to fail, say Merck virologists

(NaturalNews) Disclaimer: I am not an opponent of the theory of inoculation. Nor am I opposed to science. What I am opposed to is fraudulent science, and that's what this article is all about.

Measles and mumps are making a huge comeback in the United States, but doctors and journalists all make the same critical error in understanding why. They blame "parents who don't vaccinate their kids" as the cause, but the real cause -- as revealed by whistleblowing scientists working for top vaccine manufacturers -- is that measles and mumps vaccines are designed to fail from the start.

Scientific fraud, it turns out, is an inherent part of the vaccine industry.

How do we know? Because whistleblowers who worked in the industry have found the courage to speak out and tell the truth. These people are the Edward Snowdens of the vaccine industry.

Merck falsified its mumps vaccine efficacy results, say former employees

Merck knowingly falsified its mumps vaccine test results to fabricate a "95% efficacy rate" say former Merck virologists Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlochowski in their shocking False Claims Act document.

As I wrote last year, " In order to do this, Merck spiked the blood test with animal antibodies in order to artificially inflate the appearance of immune system antibodies."

From the False Claims Act complaint:

Merck also added animal antibodies to blood samples to achieve more favorable test results, though it knew that the human immune system would never produce such antibodies, and that the antibodies created a laboratory testing scenario that "did not in any way correspond to, correlate with, or represent real life ... virus neutralization in vaccinated people," according to the complaint.

Merck, of course, denies the claims, just like all the drug companies deny ever engaging in bribery, or using children for medical experiments, or ghostwriting "scientific" studies that get published in science journals, or conspiring to suppress competing generic drugs and so on. Yet, as history has shown, all the top drug companies are routinely engaged in widespread criminal behavior, including conspiracy, fraud, bribery and more.

Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlochowski are simply telling us what we already suspected: that Merck falsifies the efficacy of their vaccines in order to make them appear to be working when they actually aren't. Why would a drug company do such a thing? Consider the fact that Merck has both motive and opportunity.

Why drug companies design vaccines to fail

The vaccination dogma is so deeply embedded in the minds of doctors, journalists and the public, that any time a communicable disease starts to spread, everybody immediately leaps to the false conclusion that "more vaccines are needed." This is very nearly a Pavlovian reaction in the minds of the brainwashed masses. "Spread of disease = lack of vaccines."

Thus, the spread of disease actually boosts vaccine sales. Epidemics are a "marketing tool" to create demand for a profitable product that people can be convinced to purchase over and over again, year after year, whether it works or not.

And how do you create that demand? You engineer an epidemic by making sure your own vaccine products don't work. Fear drives people to get vaccinated, so fear is used as the primary marketing tool.

But why hasn't the con been exposed yet? Why haven't scientists announced that most of the children afflicted with measles and mumps are the very same children who were vaccinated? One study showed that 97 percent of children afflicted with mumps had already been vaccinated against mumps.

In 2010, a mumps outbreak spread in New Jersey, and 77 percent of children afflicted with mumps had already been vaccinated against mumps.

The same is true with measles. Most measles outbreaks spread among those who have been vaccinated against measles.

When a swine flu outbreak swept through Britain in 2010, it turns out that 70 percent of those infected had already been vaccinated against swine flu.

Far from protecting people from disease outbreaks, vaccines often promote the pandemic they claim to prevent.

Vaccines are ASSUMED to work, not proven to work

Why does the industry keep getting away with this fraud? The answer is because nobody ever compares infection rates of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated people. They all just ASSUME vaccines work because that is the dogma of modern medicine. Assumption becomes "fact" in the minds of brainwashed medical experts.

This is one of the tenants of the fraud-based medical system: Vaccines are assumed to work 100% of the time, without exception, and anyone who questions this is immediately branded a heretic. There is no tolerance whatsoever for any critical thinking or scientific inquiry when it comes to vaccines. And God forbid if you bring up the issue of mercury in vaccines, as the vaccine industry apparently believes that mercury magically becomes non-toxic when used in vaccines and injected into the body.

Thus, vaccines that fail (due to low efficacy) are never detected or even questioned. The fraud continues right under our noses. So a vaccine company can easily put a mumps or measles vaccine into circulation that is designed to fail while actually weakening the immune system from the mercury, formaldehyde, MSG and aluminum that are still used in vaccines today.

This actually causes an increase in the spread of these diseases, resulting in more alarmist media stories about the "spread of measles and mumps" which then results in more parents rushing to CVS pharmacies to get their children injected with yet another useless vaccine.

How's that for an insidious profit model?

But it's even worse than that. While some vaccines are simply designed to fail, other vaccines are designed to cause outbreaks of disease.

Some vaccines are actively spiked with live viruses to cause pandemics

As Natural News previously exposed, the vaccine industry was caught shipping live viruses to vaccine manufacturers of flu vaccines in 18 countries.

This was done by none other than Baxter International, Inc. one of the top suppliers of "weakened" flu virus material for use in vaccines. Except in this case, they weren't weakened. Vaccines made with this material simply gave people the flu!

In the realm of desktop computing, many people believe that anti-virus companies write and release viruses in order to cause fear and boost demand for their products. It's an incredibly effective way to sell more products. All you have to do is pay a group of hackers a couple of million dollars to keep writing viruses that get covered in the mainstream media. The scarier the story, the more people buy anti-virus software. I happen to know firsthand that McAfee uses dishonest scare tactics to sell their security software services, claiming your website is infected when it actually isn't.

Vaccine companies, it turns out, use the same tactic. From time to time, they allow live viruses into the flu shots, thereby spreading influenza and causing the very kind of fear and panic that drives people into pharmacies to buy more vaccines.

The WHO and CDC are all part of it too, stirring up irrational fear and panic like they did with the H5N1 virus a few years ago. It turns out that WHO panel members receive kickbacks from drug companies to engineer these anti-science scare stories.

During the swine flu pandemic, it was revealed that 5 of the 15 members of a WHO advisory panel had financial ties to the very same drug companies who would financially benefit from the pandemic. That's called "conflict of interest" in any other industry, yet for some reason it is fully tolerated in the fraudulent vaccine industry.

In 2010, an outstanding article by Dr. Gary Null explained much of this in excruciating detail. Read that article here on Natural News.

The deeper you dig into the vaccine industry and its longstanding practice of scientific fraud, misrepresentation, fear mongering and "medical false flags," the more you realize just what a total con the vaccine industry has become.

Study: Turmeric proves more effective than pharma pills at treating rheumatoid arthritis

Study: Turmeric proves more effective than pharma pills at treating rheumatoid arthritis

 (NaturalNews) What if there was a way to safely and effectively treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) without the need for pharmaceutical drugs? The good news is that there is a way, and researchers from Nirmala Medical Centre in Kerala, India, wrote all about it in a paper that they published back in 2012 in the journal Phytotherapy Research.

The substance is known as curcumin, and it is the primary active ingredient in the spice turmeric. Researchers from the Centre found that it works better than diclofenac sodium, also known as Voltaren, at relieving pain in patients with RA. And the best part is that, unlike diclofenac sodium, curcumin does not cause any harmful side effects.

For the study, 45 patients diagnosed with RA were assigned to one of three groups. The first group received 500 milligrams (mg) of curcumin alone, the second group received 50 mg of diclofenac sodium alone and the third group received both the curcumin and the diclofenac sodium together. Each patient was assessed using the standard Disease Activity Score, or DAS, as well as the American College of Rheumatology's (ACR) criteria for assessing RA pain.

Based on the research, patients in all three groups experienced significant changes in their respective DASs as a result of the treatment. But patients in the curcumin-only group experienced the most drastic improvements in both DAS and ACR scores, measuring significantly higher than the scores achieved in the diclofenac sodium-only group.

Even more significant were the respective treatment outcomes in terms of adverse event prevalence. Patients in both the diclofenac sodium-only group and the diclofenac sodium-plus-curcumin group both experienced some degree of adverse events, while patients in the curcumin-only group experienced no adverse events whatsoever.

"Our study provides the first evidence for the safety and superiority of curcumin treatment in patients with active RA, and highlights the need for future large-scale trials to validate these findings in patients with RA and other arthritic conditions," wrote the authors in their abstract.

Curcumin works to treat RA by naturally stamping out joint inflammation

Though this particular study does not go into great detail about how curcumin works to treat RA, related research provides more insight. The Life Extension Foundation (LEF), for instance, published a full-length report back in 2012 discussing joint inflammation and the role that curcumin can play in treating it.

Multiple studies over the years have confirmed the anti-inflammatory efficacy of curcumin, and more recent inquiry has identified RA and its associated symptoms as a major target for curcumin therapy. A 2008 review published in the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, for instance, found that curcumin is capable of reducing all the inflammation-promoting targets in the body, while pharma pills are generally single-targeted.

"[W]here curcumin really shines is in directly suppressing the inflammation that underlies not only rheumatoid arthritis, but also most of the chronic diseases of aging that afflict all of us sooner or later," explains the LEF report. "Curcumin's ability to safely quash inflammation in such a broad-spectrum manner makes it a compelling topic among anti-aging researchers."
