Health Ranger research breakthrough: How to block nearly all the mercury in your diet using common, everyday foods

Health Ranger research breakthrough: How to block nearly all the mercury in your diet using common, everyday foods



(NaturalNews) As part of my ongoing scientific research into heavy metals, elemental retention and metals capturing (see explanatory videos here), I have identified and documented anti-heavy-metals substances which have a remarkable natural affinity for binding with and "capturing" heavy metals.

Why is this important? Because much of the "scientific" community today is actually corporate-driven junk science that's trying to poison you
with mercury in vaccines, mercury in dental fillings, heavy metals in
fluoride, GMOs, pesticides and more. It is extremely rare for anyone to
actually spend time, money and effort to research how to REMOVE mercury from your body... and then publicly share that information in the interests of public health.

That's
why I humbly ask that you share this article with as many people as
possible, and especially share the chart below which describes the most
effective natural foods and dietary substances for binding with mercury.


This information can protect your health and help save your life

What
I'm about to share with you here are lifesaving secrets which can help
protect you and your children from toxic dietary substances. Why does
this matter? Because we are finding and documenting heavy metals in all sorts of dietary products,
including organic foods, protein supplements, herbal supplements,
beverages, vitamin pills and more. Much of what health-conscious people
are eating today is contaminated with mercury, lead, cadmium and even
tungsten as we have shown in related research.

Fortunately,
there are ways to protect yourself from these toxic heavy metals during
digestion. The secret to all this is found in certain natural
substances which bind with, capture and help eliminate heavy metals from
your digestive tract, preventing you from reabsorbing them.

Here
at the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, I have spearheaded the
pioneering research that searches for and documents these substances. So
far, I've tested over 1,000 candidate substances for these metals
capturing properties, and I've been able to identify many winners which
are remarkably effective. One of my many goals with this research is to
share these discoveries with the world so that lives can be protected
and even saved.

The "scientific" community is many years behind
the curve on this research area because the entire institution of
corporate-driven science has zero interest in preventing disease when
there's so much money to be made in treating it. Because of this, my own
discoveries most likely will not be embraced by the greater scientific
community for quite some time, but this is why I'm bringing this
information directly to you right now -- so that you can apply this knowledge immediately,
in your own life, long before conventional scientists finally admit
that avoidance of toxins is crucial to supporting human health.

How to easily (and cheaply) capture dietary mercury

Mercury
is the most easily-captured heavy metal of all. In any laboratory
environment, mercury is well known to be a "sticky" element because it
sticks to instrument tubing and vials. If I place a known quantity of
mercury in a vial of nitric acid and water, for example, a measurement
of the vial shows less mercury than should be present because some of that mercury sticks to the walls of the very instrument used to carry out the testing.

Interestingly, it turns out that mercury is also "sticks" to certain dietary fibers. In particular, my research has found that insoluble fruit fibers
are extremely effective at capturing mercury during digestion. Mercury
is unique in this way, as such fibers are very poor at binding with
lead, cadmium, arsenic and other metals. But they stick to mercury like
glue.

As part of my research into this phenomenon, I tested many
dietary fibers, including psyllium husk fiber, guar gum, vegetable
fibers and fruit fibers. The most effective fruit fiber of all was --
believe it or not -- strawberry fibers. (See full list below for the mercury binding effectiveness of various foods.)

Until
today, nobody has known this seemingly simple fact, and even I didn't
know it until I conducted this research. Now, I'm freely passing on the
knowledge to you in the hopes that you will share it with others: Eat strawberries to block dietary mercury!

Captures over 95% of dietary mercury

In
my tests, strawberries were able to capture over 95% of all the mercury
added to the gastric acid solution in a human digestion simulator.

This effect was also confirmed for freeze-dried strawberries but not strawberry juice because pure juice lacks fibers (pulp).

Why strawberries? Because strawberries are the only common fruit with seeds on the outside.
Under a microscope, you can see that each tiny strawberry seed is
connected to the center of the strawberry via a bundle of plant fibers.
These fibers, it turns out, are incredibly strong and are not easily
digested in human digestion. They pass through you largely intact, much
like psyllium husk fibers or insoluble vegetable fibers.

Isolated under a microscope, these strawberry fibers are also translucent,
by the way. And what's really amazing is that they even resist
digestion with nitric acid. Somehow, these fibers are amazingly strong
and resilient, yet nearly invisible to the naked eye.

In the gastrointestinal tract, they function as "mercury sponges" that mop up mercury with amazing efficiency.

Even better than green grasses

In
my laboratory testing, strawberries worked even better at binding to
mercury than green grasses such as barley grass or wheat grass (see the
full chart below).

This is great news for those who want healthy eating options which are also great-tasting. Simply eat some strawberries with your meal to mop up most of the mercury found in whatever else you ate (such as sushi, tuna, ocean fish, etc.).

If
you don't like strawberries, you can use other fruits such as citrus
fruits (eaten raw and whole, of course, with all the fibers intact). The
next best fruits after strawberries are citrus fruits, followed by
apples and pears.

Peanut butter even better than strawberries!

You'll
probably find this fascinating, but peanut butter was even better than
strawberries at binding with mercury, turning in an amazing 96% efficiency score
at capturing dietary mercury. Apparently, the "stickiness" of peanut
butter really gels with the stickiness of mercury. How about a tuna fish
peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

Care to guess what was even better than peanut butter? Hemp protein.

I
know, it seems counterintuitive. But I confirmed the results with
several different hemp protein brands. All hemp proteins have a powerful
"anti mercury effect." They capture around 98% of dietary mercury.

There
was only one substance, however, that was even more powerful than
strawberries, peanut butter and hemp protein. That substance is Clean Chlorella,
our in-house chlorella brand which is so free of heavy metals that it
seems to attract them like crazy. And just so you don't think I'm merely
plugging our own product, it turns out that all chlorella products we tested were very good at capturing mercury, with effectiveness ranging from 93% to 99%.

Eat strawberries with all the following foods

Here's
the practical upshot of all this: When you're eating ocean fish, tuna
fish, seafood or sushi, you're probably eating mercury. We even found
mercury in seafood snacks and pet treats.

How do you protect yourself from that mercury? Eat some fresh, whole strawberries with your meal.
Or if you don't like strawberries, eat some peanut butter, hemp protein
or take some chlorella. If you can't get any of those, eat a salad and
chew it really well to loosen up the fibers and thereby increase their
"stickiness" to mercury.

My research has revealed that eating ocean fish or seafood without
something to mop up the mercury can be very toxic and dangerous to your
health because you absorb the mercury through your intestinal walls.
But eating ocean fish or seafood together with strawberries is extremely
safe because virtually none of the mercury gets absorbed during
digestion. The strawberries make your entire meal safer to consume!

And
isn't that what we've already known about meals, anyway? Eat whole,
fresh fruit or greens with every meal and you'll be a whole lot
healthier. To do this in an easy-to-carry portable format, get some freeze-dried whole strawberries and take those with you to lunch (or on the airplane).

All
this explains why I now carry freeze-dried strawberries and chlorella
with me when I travel. Even if I'm forced to eat a less-than-healthy
meal at a restaurant, I can eat some strawberries or chlorella with the
meal and know I'm eliminating mercury instead of absorbing it. At many
restaurants, you can even find strawberries at the salad bar. So chow
down on some fresh fruit!

Capturing Capacity (MCC) which is described in terms of micrograms of
mercury captured per gram of the substance. The tests conducted here
used a fixed, known concentration of mercury in a fixed volume of
gastric acid, then allowed the candidate substance to interact with the
gastric acid for a period of approximately 8 hours in a digestion
simulator. The food solids were then removed from the solution and the
remaining liquid was measured for its mercury concentration, via ICP-MS
in the Forensic Food Lab.

Important: Why strawberries don't block lead, cadmium and arsenic

As
much as strawberries are fantastic at binding with mercury, they're
really not very effective at binding with lead, cadmium or arsenic. In
fact, fibers are not good binders with heavy metals like lead.

It
turns out if you want to bind with lead, you have to rely on a more
complex ionic process rather than physical fibers. I've done extensive
research on that as well, and I've identified key substances which can
selectively bind with lead, cadmium, arsenic and even aluminum, a very
difficult metal to capture and eliminate.

To stay informed about my findings as I announce them, join my email newsletter at the end of this article, and I'll email you this breakthrough information as it gets published.

I'm also the first researcher to have announced a dietary formula which can selectively bind with cesium-137 radioactive isotopes
during digestion, without causing high exposure to aluminum or lead in
the process. More announcements coming soon on that front.

Important: Strawberries do not protect you from inhaled mercury via fillings or air pollution

As you apply this valuable knowledge to protect yourself from dietary mercury, please understand that strawberries in no way protect you from inhaled mercury.

In fact, mercury fillings (dental amalgams) are dangerous to your health not so much due to you eating the mercury but from inhaling the toxic mercury gas such fillings give off. Eating strawberries will not block your dental fillings from poisoning you with mercury.

Also,
strawberries will not protect you from mercury in the atmosphere. If
you live in North America, you are being poisoned by mercury blown over
from China and emitted by China's ultra-dirty coal power plants. They
release thousands of tons of mercury into the air each year, and a lot
of that mercury finds it way to North America via air currents.

It should also be obvious that strawberries will not protect you from mercury in vaccines (and yes mercury is still used in popular vaccines as admitted by the CDC).
If you are crazy enough to allow yourself to be injected with mercury
in a flu shot, for example, you're going to need a whole lot more than
strawberries to get that mercury out of your system. And you'd better
hope it doesn't cause too much brain damage on the way out...

dietary defenses.

Top ten REAL medical conspiracies that actually happened

Top ten REAL medical conspiracies that actually happened



 (NaturalNews) The mainstream media is focused this week on trying to
convince you that "medical conspiracy theories" are whacky and untrue.
Published by Reuters, USA Today and other mainstream media outlets, a
false story based on distorted research is now trying to convince you
that there is no such thing as a "medical conspiracy." No, drug
companies never conducted experiments on children, killing many in the
process. No, the NIH never took part in criminal medical experiments on
prisoners. No, the U.S. government never lied to you, or covered up
natural cures, or conspired with Big Pharma. GMOs were created by people
who LOVE the ecosystem, too!

That's the nonsense we're all supposed to believe, according to the mainstream media.

By
invoking the phrase "conspiracy theories," junk science authors and
corporate-sellout journalists try to marginalize the true history of Big
Pharma felony crimes, medical experiments on children, factual
government collusion with industry and the incredible harm which has
been perpetrated on the American people by the medical industrial
complex.

In fact, the mainstream media's coverage of all this is
truly Orwellian, as if the Ministry of Truth is trying to rewrite U.S.
history to eliminate all the parts where drug companies, the NIH and the
U.S. government quite literally murdered prisoners, blacks, babies and
soldiers in the name of "scientific medicine."

I refuse to gloss
over the history of TRUE medical conspiracies and all the lives lost to
the destructive pursuit of medical profits at the expense of human
dignity. So to answer the mainstream media's delusional attempt to gloss
over the real history of true medical conspiracies, we've put together
the top ten TRUE medical conspiracies along with links to sources.

Read and learn the true history the mainstream media is trying to erase!


Top ten TRUE medical conspiracies

#1) Pfizer conducts medical experiments on Nigerian children
- In 2009 (and in subsequent years, as follow-up), we reported on how
giant drug maker Pfizer was ordered to compensate Nigerian families
after conducting illegal medical experimentation that left scores of Nigerian children either deaddamaged:

The
case began in 1996, when Pfizer needed a human trial to gain approval
for its new antibiotic Trovan. When an epidemic of meningitis, cholera
and measles broke out in Kano, Nigeria, the company quickly put together
a research team and flew them to that country. Pfizer set up a tent
right near the medical station where Doctors Without Borders were giving
free treatments and recruited 200 children to participate in an
unlicensed drug trial.

Parents say they were not told that proven
medications were being distributed only yards away, that their children
were being enrolled in a drug trial, or that animal studies had
suggested that Trovan could cause liver and joint damage.

Eleven of the 200 children in the study died, and parents claim that others suffered from brain damage, organ failure and other severe side effects.


#2) Illegal price fixing to cheat the American people and state governments out of billions
- Apparently, the Big Government / Big Pharma cabal in Washington would
have you believe that drug makers only have your best interests in
mind, not their profits or power.

In fact, for years drug makers
have regularly conspired to engage in illegal price fixing, as evidenced
by numerous lawsuits and court. As I previously reported:

In
what is now the largest criminal fraud settlement ever to come out of
the pharmaceutical industry, GlaxoSmithKline has pleaded guilty and
agreed to pay $1 billion in criminal fines and $2 billion in civil fines
following a nine-year federal investigation into its activities.

According to U.S. federal investigators, GlaxoSmithKline:

• Routinely bribed doctors with luxury vacations and paid speaking gigs
• Fabricated drug safety data and lied to the FDA
• Defrauded Medicare and Medicaid out of billions
• Deceived regulators about the effectiveness of its drugs

Relied on its deceptive practices to earn billions of dollars selling
potentially dangerous drugs to unsuspecting consumers and medical
patients

And this is just the part they got caught doing. GSK
doesn't even deny any of this. The company simply paid the $3 billion
fine, apologized to its customers, and continued conducting business as
usual.


#3) Vaccine manufacturers knew their vaccines were killing people
- One of Merck's top developers knew that the company's polio vaccines
were heavily contaminated with carcinogenic viruses. The scientist, Dr.
Maurice Hilleman, can be heard discussing it in this shocking video.

He
and other "scientist" colleagues are actually heard on the recording
laughing about the fact that the stealth viruses would kill people. The
mainstream media has never reported on this important piece of medical
history because it would expose the truth about vaccines.

#4) Merck falsified vaccine evidence
- A pair of former virologists publicly claimed that the company
conspired to commit vaccine research fraud through the spiking of human
blood samples with animal antibodies. As we reported in 2012:

The
former Merck virologists contend that the multivalent mumps component
has a vastly reduced efficacy which is directly responsible for mumps
outbreaks during the last decade which prompted international calls for
MMR booster shots every 4 - 8 years...

By combining the very low
levels of human antibodies with animal antibodies, a much higher total
level of virus neutralization was obtained than could occur from human
antibodies alone. The human antibody levels alone would never protect in
the real world against wild mumps. But after adding animal antibodies,
the human blood samples which had previously failed under the old "gold
standard" testing were retested using the "enhanced" protocols and
passed with flying colors. New 'enhanced' tests showed 100% efficacy, not against wild mumps virus, but against the mumps vaccine virus.


#5) U.S. government collusion to commit medical murder
- In what should shock all Americans to learn, the government-funded
National Institutes of Health and a number of drug companies conspired
to conduct illegal medical experiments on prisoners held in Guatemalan
jails. President Obama was actually forced to issue a public apology for
this atrocity more than sixty years after it took place. As Natural News previously reported:

The
U.S. government knowingly funded and deliberately engaged in criminal
medical experiments against Guatemalan prisoners from 1946 - 1948, and
that the people engaged in these crimes were then promoted to high
levels of influence in the medical community.

At least 5,500
people were drafted into the experiments, including children, women and
the mentally ill. The number deliberately infected with
sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) exceeded 1,300 (that we know of).

Victims
were not even informed they were being infected with STDs. The entire
experiment was a clandestine operation involving an admitted conspiracy
between Big Pharma and the U.S. government. Undeniable evidence has now
emerged that the doctors and medical researchers involved in the
experiment actively took steps to hide what they were doing.


#6) Conspiracy to label toxic chemicals "fluoride" and get the public to drink them
- It is an historical fact that the fluoride and dental industries have
conspired to mislead people into believe "fluoride" is a naturally
occurring substance. The fact is, the fluorine compounds used in the
public water supply are really byproducts of fertilizer processing or
phosphate mining operations, and they often contain heavy metals.

Even many mainstream scientists now conclude that fluoride lowers IQs and damages the brain function of children. So why are we still being told that fluoride is a "public health measure" that helps everyone?

Attend
any city council or other government agency deciding on whether or not
to fluoridate your local water supply, and you'll get health officials
asserting that fluoride is natural, and thus safe. They don't bother to
mention that naturally occurring fluoride is calcium fluoride, while the
stuff purchased by communities to fluoridate their water is sodium
fluoride, an extremely toxic mix of hexafluorosilicic acid and sodium
silicofluoride.


#7) GMO deceptions, lies and poisons -
Without question, one of the true "conspiracy theories" is that GMO
foods are responsible for a wide range of health problems. We have
published numerous articles and studies claiming as much, but the
government-industry cabal, led by bio-agriculture giant Monsanto, still
somehow insists that these Frankenfoods are 100 percent safe even though
they are repeatedly linked to organ damage, stomach inflammation,
infertility problems and more.

The mainstream media wants you to
believe that you are a "conspiracy theorist" if you believe in
biochemical cause and effect. Don't worry, Monsanto loves you! And so do
pesticide companies, whose chemicals are so safe that you should be eating them for breakfast!

#8) Academic suppression of important medical research
- When good science gets published that questions the safety of GMOs,
vaccines or fluoride, it gets routinely suppressed. That's exactly what
happened to University of Caen molecular biology researcher Professor
Gilles-Eric Seralini, whose two-year study into the effects of GMO corn
on rats was (and continues to be) vilified by the establishment scientific community, which is entirely beholden to corporate financial influence. As Natural News reported:

Before
many could recover from the shock of seeing rats fed GMO corn with huge
tumors, the mainstream press was already reporting scientists who
claimed the French study was flawed.

Ironically, a similar study
of much shorter duration, 90 days, is what got Monsanto's NK 603 Roundup
tolerant GMO maize (corn) and Roundup herbicide approved by the EFSA in
the first place.

Seralini merely extended the study using the
same type of rats to determine the toxic effects of feeding them GMO
corn for two years. He also added a glyphosate herbicide solution into
their drinking water at a level approved as safe for Roundup's water
contamination.

Meanwhile, Dr. Arpad Pusztai was a highly regarded
UK biology researcher at the prestigious Rowett Institute, a Scottish
nutritional laboratory. He was awarded a grant to establish a safety
protocol for GMO foods with his 20-member research team.

He
never expected to find anything wrong with the GMO potatoes studied, but
he did. Within days of publishing the team's findings, he was dismissed
from the position he had held for decades.


#9) The
massive academic fraud and conspiracy to discredit Dr. Andrew Wakefield
by spreading provably false lies about his research
- There has been
a massive, organized "scientific" conspiracy to discredit Dr. Andrew
Wakefield, the researcher who examined the effects of measles, mumps,
and rubella (MMR) vaccines in children. Though his research never claimed that vaccines cause autism,
he is routinely defamed and disparaged by an endless list of
intellectually dishonest scientists and journalists who falsely claim
Dr. Wakefield linked vaccines to autism. In fact, his research was
actually focused on gastrointestinal effects of the vaccines in
children, but he was attacked nonetheless:

Contrary to what
the UK's General Medical Council (GMC), BMJ, Brian Deer, and the host of
whoring media outlets continue to claim, Dr. Wakefield's original study
was a case series that made no actual claims about a definitive link
between MMR and autism. And the observations, which do happen to suggest
a link between MMR and autism regression, are not just unique to Dr.
Wakefield's research. Professor Walker-Smith and Dr. Amar Dhillon
together documented their own independent research that also points to a
link between MMR vaccine and autism.


Watch the powerful interview with Dr. Wakefield here: http://tv.naturalnews.com/v.asp?v=608256A446...

#10) Local governments routinely conspire to with medical institutions to threaten parents and children
- Local government "authorities" routinely conspire with the medical
industry to force parents to vaccinate their children or subject them to
harsh medical treatment against their will. This is all done
essentially at gunpoint (or by threat of arrest and imprisonment, which
is enforced at gunpoint).

- In Ohio, a court forced the parents of an Amish girl to undergo poisonous chemotherapy: http://www.naturalnews.com/042393_akron_chil.... As Natural News published:

This
is, essentially, chemotherapy at gunpoint or what I call "predatory
medicine." If the parents refuse the court order, they will be arrested
at gunpoint and charged with various crimes. The Akron Children's
Hospital, which stands to profit from this decision, is the new medical
mafia, poisoning children with mandatory "life sentences" handed down by
a corrupt, medically ignorant justice system.


- Katie Wernecke,
a teenage cancer patient who was kidnapped by Texas authorities and
forced to submit to chemotherapy, is another victim of the system. Her
parents were arrested and subjected to actions by Child Protective
Services, who took Katie away. This all happened because Katie's parents
refused to subject their daughter to chemotherapy and wanted to pursue
safer, more natural holistic medical therapies.

- Abraham Cherrix
is a 16-year old cancer patient who also refused a second round of
chemotherapy after the first round nearly killed him. His doctor was
outraged that Abraham would refuse chemotherapy and called Child
Protective Services who had Abraham's parents arrested at gunpoint. CPS
then took over joint custody of the child and attempted to force the
teen to submit to barbaric cancer treatments like radiation and
chemotherapy.

Yet more TRUE medical conspiracies and government collusion

If
you still doubt there is collusion between the government and the
corporate medical establishment, I leave you with these alarming
statistics, courtesy of The Economic Collapse Blog:

- U.S. healthcare expenditures in 2009 ($4.5 trillion) were higher than the entire gross domestic product of Great Britain (http://swampland.time.com/2010/02/04/the-uns...).
This is by design to extract as much money from the U.S. economy as
possible while keeping the population diseased and impoverished.

-
In 1980, total health care costs accounted for 9.5 percent of all
personal consumption; by 2011, that amount rose to 16.3 percent (http://www.businessinsider.com/america-middl...)

- Medical bills factor in more than 60 percent of U.S. bankruptcies (http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/06/05/bankrup...)

- In the last 10 years, health insurance premiums have risen three times faster than wages (http://www.businessinsider.com/depressing-fa...)

- Top executives at the five biggest for-profit insurance companies in the U.S. combined to earn north of $200 million in 2009 (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/11/hea...)

--
Even as Americans were mired in the Great Recession, health insurance
companies bolstered profits by 56 percent (in 2009, the same year more
than 2 million lost private coverage) (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/HealthCare/heal...)

- Each year nearly a million people are rushed to emergency rooms following adverse reactions to pharmaceutical drugs (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/leo-galland-md...).

- In 2009, there were an astonishing 1,742 prescription drug recalls (http://money.cnn.com/2010/08/16/news/compani...)

-
The legal system is also bumping up costs; one recent study found that
lawsuits and other legal actions added more than $55 billion to national
healthcare costs in 2008 (http://www.cnbc.com/id/39037984).

- Big Pharma spends tens of billions each year in marketing and advertising; who wants to lose out on that gravy train? The industry, in fact, spends more money on advertising than on R&D.

Health Basics: What is soy lecithin?

Health Basics: What is soy lecithin?



 (NaturalNews) Soy lecithin is one of the most ubiquitous additives in
the American food supply. It's used mostly as an emulsifier, and it pops
up in everything from chocolate and salad dressings to tea bags and
supplements. If you ask any allopathic doctor in the country, they
always say the same thing about food toxins -- "there's not enough in
there to cause concern," or "a little bit is not going to hurt you." Oh,
but it most certainly does. When you add it all up -- all those GMOs
and little, extra-processed, toxic "additives and preservatives" -- you
end up with cancer, unless of course you learn to watch out not only for
the big killers but the seemingly "innocent" little ones too. A
thousand tiny arrows will kill you, just like one or two big ones, my
friends.

As a general rule, avoid soy across the board. The only
good soy is organic and fermented, and it's not easy to find. Over 5,000
years ago, even the Emperor of China only praised the root of the
plant, not the bean. He knew then that the soybean was not fit for human
consumption. That's also why you shouldn't eat canola, because it is
manufactured from a substance that is toxic to humans, rapeseed oil.

Releasing the nutrients of soy

About
3,000 years ago, it was discovered that a mold which grew on soybeans
destroyed the toxins present in it and made the nutrients in the beans
available to the human body. This process became known as fermentation
and led to what we know today as tempeh, miso and natto. During the Ming dynasty in China, tofu was made by soaking and cooking the beans with nigari, a seawater substance. It was used as a remedy for many diseases.


Eating toxic soy and other "stupid food"

For
the most part, Americans are stupid when it comes to nutrition. This is
mainly no fault of their own, though. They have been "dumbed down" and
tricked into believing that all disease can only be treated with
chemical medicine. Since the early 1900s, this has been the case.
Unfermented soybeans are no exception to "stupid food" and what have been labeled "anti-nutrients." Certain "phytochemicals" have toxic effects on the body, including phytates, enzyme inhibitors and goitrogens.
These actually protect the soybean plant and function as its immune
system, protecting it from invading bacteria, viruses and fungi. These
anti-nutrients make the soybean plant unappetizing to foraging animals.
Understand and appreciate the potent power of the soybean's
phytochemicals and you may never eat unfermented soy again in your life.
They could be the worst food that you ever eat, did you know that?

Typical health problems caused by unfermented soy and soy lecithin

First
of all, at least 90% of U.S. soy is genetically modified to be
glyphosate resistant. Are you a weed in need of being beat down? For you
health enthusiast beginners, that means GM soy is soaked in herbicide
and, if you eat herbicide, you are ruining your immune system,
irritating your whole digestive tract, and this can cause reproductive disorders and birth defects,
not to mention cancer and heart disease. Plus, you can't wash off
genetic modification -- it's inside the seeds, inside the plant and
inside you if you eat it.

Unfermented GM soy is very common in baby formula in America. Many vegetarians think that they are somehow replacing protein by consuming soy, an insidious myth perpetrated
by mainstream media and fake "guru" diets for the past few decades.
Mid-lifers may have also fallen for the "menopause" myth that soy helps
with those symptoms, which couldn't be further from the truth. How is
loss of libido helping anyone enjoy the mid-life "crisis"? (http://www.undergroundhealth.com)

A
whole myriad of toxic soy products "consume" Americans' health, like
soy milk, soy flour and soy protein isolates. Inhibiting your enzymes is
very dangerous and detrimental to your health.

"When food is
eaten, digestive enzymes such as amylase lipase and protease are
secreted into the digestive tract to help break it down and free
nutrients for assimilation into the body. The high content of enzyme
inhibitors in unfermented soybeans interferes with this process and
makes carbohydrates and proteins from soybeans impossible to completely
digest."

The great U.S. soy plague

Soybeans can also
block production of thyroid hormones and cause goiters to form. Low
thyroid activity plagues women in America. Soy lecithin is a byproduct
that flies under everyone's health radar. These are the worst kind. The term lecithin
can have different meanings but mainly refers to the mixture of
phospholipids and oil. Lecithin is often derived from rapeseed (canola),
milk, soy and egg yolks. You can bet these are all GMO sources, so remember the herbicide, as discussed earlier! Don't become a dying "pest."

To make (toxic) soy lecithin,
the oil is extracted using a chemical solvent (usually hexane, a
constituent of gasoline). Then, crude soy oil gets "degummed," dried and
often bleached using hydrogen peroxide. Commercial soy lecithin,
you can bet, is still LACED with chemicals. The FDA does not regulate
how much hexane residue can be left in food products, and that could be
upwards of 1,000 parts per million (ppm)! Still not worried about that
"little bit that won't hurt ya"? Did you know that the concentration
limit for hexane in pharmaceuticals is 290 ppm? Go figure!

Allergic
reactions to foods can begin within minutes. If you experience itching,
hives, eczema, breathing problems, swelling of the throat, wheezing,
nausea, vomiting, dizziness or fainting, I wouldn't put it past soy
lecithin.

Are there therapeutic uses for organic soy lecithin?

There
is some research regarding the use of organic soy lecithin for
improving blood lipids, reducing inflammation and treating neurological
disorders. Remember though, GM soy does the exact opposite, so watch
out! If you're trying to regulate your good or bad cholesterol levels,
maybe first you should check your ratio of omega-3s to omega-6s.
Research the benefits of hemp seed oil and flax seed oil first. You
don't have to have soy allergies to be smart enough to avoid soy! Beware
of supplements that are not organic or recommended by reliable
nutritionists, like the Health Ranger, Mike Adams.

Flight 370 passengers may still be alive; 'pirated' Boeing 777 may return to skies as stealth nuclear weapon

Flight 370 passengers may still be alive; 'pirated' Boeing 777 may return to skies as stealth nuclear weapon



(NaturalNews) Exclusive investigation: The 239 people on board Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 may still be alive.
This stunning realization is now supported by considerable emerging
evidence detailed in this article. At the same time, the "vanished"
Boeing 777 may also be in a hanger in Iran right now, being retrofitted
with nuclear weapons and turned into a suicide bomb to be deployed over a
major city in the Middle East. This possibility is discussed in detail,
below, with supporting evidence.

The idea that Flight 370 passengers and crew may still be alive is not a bizarre theory. Even Reuters is now reporting that U.S. authorities have stated, "...it's also possible the plane may have landed somewhere."

Here's
the evidence in support of this emerging "piracy" theory of what may
have happened to Flight 370 and why the people who may have diverted it
might also be planning on turning it into a weapon:


Five critical pieces of astonishing supporting evidence that Flight 370 passengers may still be alive

Please
understand that I do not wish to create false hope for all those
families who have greatly suffered through this ordeal. My heart goes
out to them, and we can only hope these 239 passengers and crew are,
indeed, being kept alive somewhere to be used as a bargaining chip for
ransom or political purposes. Here's the substantial evidence in support
of this theory:

• Fact #1: No crash debris has been located, despite an exhaustive search

The
search for debris has involved over two dozen nations and is
unprecedented in aviation history. If the plane had crashed in the ocean
anywhere near its intended flight path, the debris almost certainly
would have been located by now.

• Fact #2: The plane's
transponder appears to have been manually turned off several minutes
before other communication systems stopped transmitting


As the Associated Press reports,
"...key evidence for 'human intervention' in the plane's disappearance
is that contact with its transponder stopped about a dozen minutes
before a messaging system quit."

This almost certainly means
someone deliberately disabled the transponder (the device which
transmits location to air traffic controllers).

Why would someone do that? Because they don't want to be tracked as they change course and take the plane to a new destination.

A Reuters article adds more detail:

Analysis
of the Malaysia data suggests the plane, with 239 people on board,
diverted from its intended northeast route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing
and flew west instead, using airline flight corridors normally employed
for routes to the Middle East and Europe.


This adds some
evidence to the idea that the plane may have been diverted to the Middle
East. Together with the suspicion of stolen passports and the
identities of those who traveled with them, this starts to paint a more
clear picture in support of piracy as the underlying explanation, with
possible ties to Iran (see more below).

What's especially fascinating to me in all this is that once the transponder was turned off, this massive aircraft
apparently went into "stealth mode" where nobody could track it.
Although this seems to defy the laws of physics and radar, we cannot
argue with the fact that the plane was apparently untraceable as it flew
for four hours after the transponder was turned off.


Smoking Gun Fact #3: The plane's engines continued to broadcast
performance data to satellite for four hours after radar contact was
lost


This fact is really the smoking gun in all this. The
Wall Street Journal has posted an excellent investigative article
revealing that Boeing's own people have confirmed the plane kept flying
four hours after disappearing off radar. As the WSJ reports:

The
investigators believe the plane flew for a total of up to five hours,
according to these people, based on analysis of signals sent by the
Boeing satellite-communication link designed to automatically transmit
the status of certain onboard systems to the ground. Throughout the
roughly four hours after the jet dropped from civilian radar screens,
these people said, the link operated in a kind of standby mode and
sought to establish contact with a satellite or satellites. These
transmissions did not include data, they said, but the periodic contacts
indicate to investigators that the plane was still intact and believed
to be flying.


Obviously, this system cannot continue to
transmit data if the plane has crashed or exploded. The existence of
these signals is very nearly conclusive proof that the aircraft
continued flying and did not crash or explode. This eliminates most of
the scenarios which would result in the death of passengers, and it strongly supports the piracy / hijacking scenario.

• Fact #4: The mobile devices of many passengers continued to stay online for days after the disappearance

The Washington Post has reported that phones of Flight 370 passengers were active and online for several days following the disappearance of the plane:

...a
few relatives said they were able to call the cellphones of their loved
ones or find them on a Chinese instant messenger service called QQ that
indicated that their phones were still somehow online. A migrant worker
in the room said that several other workers from his company were on
the plane, including his brother-in-law. Among them, the QQ accounts of
three still showed that they were online, he said Sunday afternoon.
Adding to the mystery, other relatives in the room said that when they
dialed some passengers' numbers, they seemed to get ringing tones on the
other side even though the calls were not picked up.


This evidence also fits the piracy theory remarkably well. If the plane was diverted and landed with passengers alive,
their mobile devices could have indeed stayed online by automatically
connecting to cell towers. The pirates or kidnappers may have overlooked
this and failed to confiscate and destroy the mobile devices, allowing
them to connect as long as they had battery life remaining.

• Fact #5: Black box transponders are not broadcasting homing signals because the plane never crashed

Normally, when aircraft crash into the ocean, their black boxes emit homing signal transmissions so they can be located. But no signals were ever detected from Flight 370 black boxes.

Now
that seems to make sense: if the plane was hijacked / pirated, then it
never crashed and the black boxes are still intact, sitting on the
aircraft. This may be why they cannot be found (and why there is no
wreckage or debris).

Could passengers still be alive?

If
the plane kept flying for four more hours, then it was obviously being
piloted with an intent to take it somewhere for some specific purpose.
Anyone sophisticated enough to disable the transponder in-flight would
have also been sophisticated enough to plan the final destination and
landing of the aircraft.

As Reuters now reports:

Military
radar data suggests a Malaysia Airlines jetliner missing for nearly a
week was deliberately flown hundreds of miles off course, heightening
suspicions of foul play among investigators, sources told Reuters on
Friday.


Anyone pirating a jetliner and diverting it to
another location really only has two key assets to work with: The
aircraft itself, and the passengers onboard.

Obviously, acquiring a large aircraft like a Boeing
777 would be a huge asset for terrorist groups who could turn it into a
weapon. If this is the intent, then the passengers on board would most
likely be killed, as they would serve no particular purpose to the
hijackers. Sadly, this remains one of the possible outcomes of piracy,
and I don't want to publish any false hope that might mislead families
who have lost loved ones. Realistically, the odds of the passengers
being alive right now are probably no better than 1 in 3, in my
estimation. But that's better than zero chance.

A second
possibility is that the passengers themselves are going to be used as
bargaining chips in an elaborate K&R (kidnap & ransom) scheme.
It's also possible that selected passengers have special value in some
way we don't yet realize, and only they will be kept alive as bargaining
chips while the others are killed by the hijackers. Sadly, this is
another likely outcome of all this.

And yet, despite all the very
negative possible outcomes, there does remain a legitimate scenario in
which the passengers and crew of Flight 370 remain alive at this very
moment, long after their plane was diverted to an unknown location and
safely landed. If this is the case, then we would expect to sooner or
later hear from the hijackers with their list of demands for the safe return of the passengers. Such demands, if they ever materialize, would no doubt be multinational in nature.

On
the more pessimistic side, if the hijackers only sought the aircraft
and not the passengers, then we will probably never hear from them until
the day a Boeing 777 flying without a transponder in "stealth mode"
delivers a terrorist weapon of some sort to whatever city is being
targeted.

Turning a Boeing 777 into a nuclear, chemical or biological weapon

A
Boeing 777 is a very large aircraft and can obviously be outfitted with
a wide variety of weapons systems by anyone with sufficient knowledge
and technical skills (not to mention a soul of pure evil).

According to the Boeing website, the 777 has a "revenue payload capacity" of 112 tons, or about 102,000 kg.

With
that sort of enormous carrying capacity, a Boeing 777 could be
outfitted with elaborate, high-volume chemical spraying weapons,
air-dropped biological weapons or of course a nuclear weapon capable of
destroying an entire city. Technology also exists to remotely control large aircraft, and Iran in particular has already demonstrated its technical ability to seize control of U.S. military drones through a process of GPS-spoofing. In support of this feat, Russia just recently "electronically captured" another U.S. drone over Crimea.

Shockingly,
the next time the world sees this aircraft may be when it deploys
itself over a city like Tel Aviv and detonates a large nuclear weapon at
altitude. The reason I deliberately choose Tel Aviv in this example is
because there appears to be a possible link with Iran in all this, and
the Iranian government leadership has reportedly said it wishes to see
Israel wiped off the map. The elaborate nature of this aircraft piracy,
if indeed this is the true explanation, also smacks of state-sponsored
involvement. This is not the kind of operation that can be pulled off by
a couple of yahoos trying to score some quick cash.

The fact that this aircraft was able to fly undetected
for at least four hours after the transponder was turned off means the
plane can very effectively be used as a "stealth" weapon of sorts, and
it could theoretically be deployed over major cities across Europe,
Asia, the Middle East or even North America.

Where is Flight 370 now? Pakistan, Iran both potentially in range of the landing

According to this Boeing web page, the 777 has a cruising speed of around Mach .84, or around 650 miles per hour.

If
the aircraft cruised for four hours after the transponder was turned
off, it could have flown nearly 2600 miles, putting it just within reach
of Pakistan, and possibly even southeast Iran if it flew at a slightly
higher speed and had sufficient fuel. The Iran Shahr Airport, located
less than 100 miles from the border of Pakistan, is conceivably within
range and sits at an altitude of around 2,000 meters. This airport has a
runway length of 7,711 feet, and according to page 16 of this document on the Boeing website,
the required runway length for landing a Boeing 777 is less than 7,711
feet as long as the runway is not wet. This is true even if the aircraft
is fully loaded and flying at maximum weight.

The aircraft was
actually designed to take advantage of shorter runways. Even Boeing
itself says the 777 "uses a new semi-levered gear, which allows it to
take off from fields with limited runway length."

Thus, Flight
370 could have conceivably and successfully landed in Iran. Remember,
too, that the aircraft was "using airline flight corridors normally
employed for routes to the Middle East and Europe," according to Reuters
(link above).

This flight path, however, would have put it
directly over India, and it is difficult to imagine the Indian
government not noticing a Boeing 777 aircraft flying over its airspace
without a transponder. Then again, the Malaysian government seems to
have no idea where the plane went, either, and so we may be dealing with
regional military incompetence on these matters, or possibly some
amazing new stealth technology that was somehow deployed on the plane.

To
help explain where this aircraft could have gone, I put together this
flight range map, showing the possible locations where Flight 370 could
have flown in the four hours after it disappeared from its intended
flight path:



Notice that this range encompasses North Korea, Myanmar, Pakistan, Afghanistan and even part of Iran.

An interesting area of investigation in all this would be to find out how much fuel the aircraft was loaded with, and determining whether that fuel load could allow it to fly four or even five more hours.

Natural News Blogs Whole Foods Bans 54% of Food from Wal-Mart » Natural News Blogs

Natural News Blogs Whole Foods Bans 54% of Food from Wal-Mart » Natural News Blogs



By Samantha Clove


Posted Friday, March 7, 2014 at 11:01am EDT





It is amazing to me that the whole world seems to be waking up and
realizing the problem with our food industry.  It seems that
conversations we couldn’t have just 10 years ago for fear our friends
would think we were total “granola hippies” are happening more
frequently.  The awareness and connection between the rise in chronic
illnesses and obesity is finally sinking in.  In a recent and very
interesting study, Ben Blatt of Slate Magazine revealed some interesting
statistics about offerings at Wal-Mart vs. Whole Foods.


According to Blatt’s research, Whole Foods bans roughly 54% of Wal-Mart’s fare due to the presence, in its words, of “unacceptable ingredients for foods.”
These 78 banned ingredients include everything from recognizable
sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup to the tongue-tying
dimethylpolysiloxane.



The choices being made by Whole Food and other natural grocers are
now becoming much more mainstream and as a result, places like Wal-Mart
may begin losing ground.


For example, it’s no surprise that shoppers would be hard-pressed
to find a liter of Coke or bag of Doritos at Whole Foods, but Blatt
discovers that even household brands ranging from Minute Maid lemonade
to Cracker Barrel cheese are deemed unworthy for Whole Foods’ choosy
clientele. Whole Foods claims these foods fall short of “safety,
necessity, manufacturing methods and compatibility with our overall core
values.”



97% of the soft drinks sold at Wal-Mart contain ingredients that
Whole Foods considers “unacceptable.” If you ever wondered why a Whole
Foods drink aisle makes you feel like you’re in a foreign country, well,
there’s your explanation.



Wal-Mart’s “Great Value 100% Whole Wheat Bread” contains seven
ingredients that Whole Foods scoffs at, including everything from
high-fructose corn syrup to calcium propionate. Not one or two
“unacceptable” items, but seven. All in a staple product that you have
to imagine just flies off the shelves. We’re not talking about an
obscure frozen dinner here; we’re talking about sandwich bread.



If consumers continue to become more educated through channels such
as Natural News and other great sources of healthy living information,
we can continue to demand real food from our stores and not ever have to
settle for less.  Let’s celebrate the wins and keep fighting the good
fight for our health and the health of our friends and families.

Game Changer: It Will Be Shocking for the Average American: “Your Cost of Living Will Quadruple”

Mac Slavo

March 10, 2014
It’s no secret that the U.S. government is in serious fiscal trouble. So much so that our Treasury Secretary recently noted that should the debt ceiling fail to be increased, the fall-out would be “catastrophic” and last for generations.
Given that sobering report, consider that everything in America, from food to fuel, is subsidized in one way or another. Those subsidies are being paid with ever-increasing debt. It is inevitable that at some point the world’s reserve currency, the US dollar, will be wiped out. The trigger for such an event is irrelevant. What is relevant, is how average Americans will be affected when that day comes.
In recent months working Americans have seen their health care costs triple. But this is just the beginning. When America’s debt problems come to a head the subsidies will be removed, and that will lead to cost of living increases that will leave those who never saw it coming in a state of confusion and bewilderment with no way out.
Marin Katusa of Casey Research, who has met with business and political leaders in over one hundred countries and is one of the most successful contrarian investment analysts out there, has some thoughts on the matter.
It will be shocking for the average American… if the petro dollar dies and the U.S. loses its reserve currency status in the world there will be no middle class.
The middle class and the low class… wow… what a game changer. Your cost of living will quadruple.
In the following must-watch interview with the Sound Money Campaign, Marin outlines the reasons for why our cost of living is going through the roof, the effects of geo-politics on our future, and ways to insulate yourself from what’s coming.



Imagine this… take a country like Croatia… the average worker with a university degree makes about 1200 Euros a month. He spends a third of that, after tax, on keeping his house warm and filling up his gas tank to get to work and get back from work.
In North America, we don’t make $1200 a month, and we don’t spend a third of our paycheck on keeping our house warm and driving to work… so, the cost of living… food will triple… heat, electricity, everything subsidized by the government will triple overnight… and it will only get worse even if you can get the services.
For the average citizen, they should be thinking, ‘I should store some gold here and there as insurance for all of this.’
Now, I don’t know when it will happen. But it will happen, because it’s happened to all currencies.
I don’t think the people of Rome thought that Rome would ever fall as an empire… but it did.
So, you have to be prepared and protect your family. That’s why you want leverage to things that have major upside when the dollar does collapse. And the best insurance for that is gold.
As Marin notes, the assets you hold should be such that they maintain or increase their value as the Petrol dollar crashes and America’s debt bubble bursts.
For those with retirement investments like 401k’s, IRA’s or cash, Marin suggests you look to healthy gold companies as insurance. Back in the Great Depression of the 1930′s, as stocks crashed and then stagnated, those with investments in gold mining companies were able to not only preserve wealth, but grow it.
Those who prefer to keep their assets in physical holdings should look to gold and silver bullion, as well as those items that will become difficult to obtain when prices sky rocket. These core physical assets might mean long-term food stores, land with productive capacity, and personal energy production facilities that may include wind, solar or hydro.
If there is one trend that has taken hold over the last decade it’s continued price rises for the basic necessities of modern life. Given that we are now in more debt as a nation and individuals than ever before, it’s not hard to see where this is headed.
If you need a mainstream forecast to confirm what’s going to happen, then we point you to the words of President Barack Obama, who several years ago stated unequivocally that, “electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket.” He should know, because his policies are a significant contribution to what’s going to happen in the very near future.
Look out below.
