Welcome to the United States of Dystopia

Andrew Reinbach

Modern medicine is killing America.

Not the way you think. Thanks to modern medicine, more infants live to be adults. And more adults live longer lives -- into their 90s -- with fewer serious health problems. Diseases and conditions that used to be fatal are rarities now.

And there's every reason to believe this blessing will only continue. For one thing, Western civilization is built on the idea that life, itself, is a good. Nobody's throwing that overboard.

You Can't Say Yes if You Can't Say No

Brenda Shoshanna, Ph.d.

Based on Fearless (The 7 Principles of Peace of Mind)

www.becomefearless.org

Fear is a great factor in relationships. It confuses our mind, undermines our confidence and prevents us from making choices that would be healthy for all concerned. A great source of fear is rejection by others.  Not aware that we have rejected ourselves, we become overly hungry for the approval of others. In this state of mind we use our relationships as a way to gain the love and sense of self worth we may feel is lacking. What a danger, many then twist themselves in all kinds of ways to receive the acceptance and validation they so deeply desire.

New research: flavonoid quercetin fights viral infections, protects against chronic lung diseases

by S. L. Baker, NaturalNews.com June 14, 2010

(NaturalNews) Asthma, cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are serious and even life-threatening conditions. However, these health problems share something with a usually minor infection -- the common cold. The connection? Rhinovirus (RV), a single-stranded RNA virus from the picornaviridae family, causes the majority of colds and RV is also known to trigger exacerbations of CF, asthma and COPD.

Big Pharma lies about statin drugs finally exposed in British Medical Journal

by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com June 14, 2010

(NaturalNews) To hear Big Pharma tell it, statin drugs are "miracle" medicines that have prevented millions of heart attacks and strokes. But a recent study published in the British Medical Journal tells a completely different story: For every heart attack prevented by the drug, two or more people suffered liver damage, kidney failure, cataracts or extreme muscle weakness as a result of taking the drug.

Statin drugs, in other words, harm far more people than they help.

Black tea may match green for weight benefits: Study

Nutraingredients.com, 14-Jun-2010

Like green tea, extracts from black tea may also help reduce weight gain and cut body fat levels, says a new study from Japan with rats and mice.

Supplementing the diet of lab animals fed a high-fat diet with black tea extracts suppressed body weight gain and body fat levels, with the benefits linked to reduced fat absorption, according to findings published in Nutrition.

Lead researcher Thomas Shea of the Center for Cellular Neurobiology at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell carried out a number of laboratory studies on three groups of mice especially bred to demonstrate a decline in motor neuron function.

Oil Spills, Ecology, and the Food Chain

By Vanessa Barrington, EcoSalon
Posted on June 11, 2010

http://www.ecosalon.com/oil-spills-ecology-and-the-food-chain/

While we become sick to our stomachs watching the spreading plumes of oil in the gulf, viewing photos of oil slicked birds, and footage of oil covered beaches in Florida and Alabama, let’s take a step back and think about the cycle of life. The reason disasters like this happen is due to a lack of understanding that, though we may be at the top of the food chain, we are not separate from it.

Energy Company's Shocking Plan to Spray Clouds with Toxic Chemical to Increase Rainfall -- and Make Hydropower Profits

After a successful six-year campaign to prevent Nestle Waters from building a bottling plant in nearby McCloud, the town of Mt. Shasta, a mountain hamlet of fewer than 3000 residents in California's far-northern Siskiyou County, is taking up a new struggle: to prevent PG&E from seeding the region's clouds. The practice of 'cloud seeding' is a kind of weather modification in which silver iodide, a Class-C toxin, is disbursed aerially or from ground-based towers in an effort to induce rain.

Junk Food Companies Pledge to Reduce Calories and Fight Obesity in US While Ramping up Their Presence in the Developing World

Last month, in a bid to preempt any binding government action, sixteen food and beverage companies announced a pledge to reduce 1.5 trillion calories from their products in the US by the end of 2015 -- ostensibly to fight obesity in the US.

Indeed, the growing obesity epidemic in the US has caught the attention of the White House, and Mrs. Michelle Obama in particular.

The announcement by the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation - -- comprising some of the largest food and beverage companies in the US -- came just five days after the release of the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity Report to the President, part of Mrs. Obama's Let's Move campaign designed to address the growing obesity epidemic in the US.

How NYC May Be Revolutionizing the Way Kids Eat

When one envisions a stereotypical school lunch, a plate of leathery cheese pizza and a high fructose-laden soda with a side of green jello may come to mind. Fortunately this concept of lunch is soon to be tossed in the trash at a handful of New York City public institutions.

Currently 25 schools around NYC are taking part in a unique program where kids will have a chance, not only to eat whole, organic foods, but also to work in the soil and see little seedlings mature into healthy, edible plants. It's not the first time school gardens have become the flavor of the month, but it's the first time it's happened on a significant scale in the country's largest and most diverse city.

Study shows how radiation causes breast cancer

Wednesday, June 09, 2010 by: S. L. Baker, features writer

(NaturalNews) It's well-established that exposure to ionizing radiation can trigger mutations and other genetic damage and cause normal cells to become malignant. So it seems amazing how mainstream medicine frequently dismisses the idea that medical imaging tests from mammograms to CT scans could play much of a role in causing breast cancer. Take this example from the web site for Cornell University's Program on Breast Cancer and Environmental Risk Factors:

In answer to the question "Is ionizing radiation a cause of breast cancer?", the Cornell experts say "Yes" and note ".. female breast tissue is highly susceptible to radiation effects." But then they pooh-pooh the possible hazard from mammography x-rays saying the risk …"should not be a factor in individual decisions to undergo this procedure. The same is true for most diagnostic x-ray procedures."

Your Natural Ability To Live Free of Fear

Brenda Shoshanna, Ph.d.

(Based upon Fearless: The 7 Principles of Peace of Mind)
wwww.becomefearless.org

Today the world seems upside down, many anchors we relied on for safety have been taken away and fear rules the day. But there is no innate reason why we should live in the grip of fear. Once we see the truth about fear, it's easy to release it and reclaim our original wisdom and strength.

Are Your Weight Issues Tied to Insulin Resistance?

Susan B. Dopart, M.S., R.D.

Frequently, a new client will walk into my office knowing he or she needs to lose weight, get in shape and improve their health. Perhaps they feel sluggish and are hungry a good part of the day, and nothing they do makes a difference. Multiple diet regimes, exercise programs, lose-weight-quick gimmicks -- they've tried them all and are just fed up.

New Study Finds Pesticides Double Risk of ADHD in Our Children

Tony Isaacs, NaturalNews.com  June 3, 2010

http://www.naturalnews.com/028917_pesticides_ADHD.html

(NaturalNews) For years environmentalists and natural health advocates have been trying to point out that organophosphate pesticides (malathion, etc.) work by disrupting the neurological systems of insects, and therefore humans who consume them on foods are at risk of neurological problems. Now, after millions of kids have been diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder), it is finally being admitted.

FDA defeated in federal court over censorship of truthful health claims

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) Health freedom has just been handed a significant victory by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, which ruled last week that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) violated the First Amendment rights of a nutritional supplement company when it censored truthful, scientifically-backed claims about how selenium can help reduce the risk of cancer.

Nine meals from anarchy

By Andrew Simms

A cold snap shows how fragile our supply of food and fuel is. We need a more sustainable system 

'Man has lost the ­capacity to ­foresee and forestall," wrote Albert Schweitzer. A colossal banking crisis and a big freeze in the middle of what was meant to be a mild winter don't encourage confidence to the contrary.

Reassurance is fine as long as it's well founded. And in the midst of fears about gas supplies and the panic buying of food Gordon Brown is hardly likely to scream that we are all doomed. It is, after all, his job to tell us that all will be well. But will it? People were shocked at the scale of social breakdown when Hurricane Katrina revealed a long-term, creeping erosion of civic resilience. Are we just waking up to the fact that several wrong turns have left our essential supplies much more vulnerable than they need to be?

'An Edible History of Humanity': How What We Eat Has Changed the World

Author Tom Standage explains how food has been a weapon of war, an offering for peace, a force of development and imperialism and an organizer of societies.
 

Throughout history, food has played many roles in changing the world: It has been a weapon of war, an offering for peace, a force of development and imperialism and an organizer of societies. In many cases, food and its production have had some of the most profound effects on humanity and indeed on the earth itself. Food has affected social status, social roles, empires and the outcome of wars. The roles that food has played in shaping society and the planet itself are captured in a new book by Tom Standage, titled An Edible History of Humanity.

Sorry, Cheetos Aren't Nutritious

PepsiCo claims to be "investing in a healthier future for people and our planet." But how is that possible when their top-selling products include Mountain Dew and Doritos?
 

When, back in February, First Lady Michelle Obama formally announced her Let's Move campaign to end childhood obesity within a generation, only one food company released a press release on the very same day in glowing support -- PepsiCo.

In many ways, PepsiCo has been touting itself as an industry leader. The company's corporate tagline is "Performance with Purpose," broadly described as "delivering sustainable growth by investing in a healthier future for people and our planet."
