In the nation’s largest lead Superfund site, Bunker Hill, a 1500 square mile, an EPA designated NPL area stretching from the Idaho, Montana border on into Washington State, children are not running very well. The lead testing of children is being compromised. Not only are thousands of children not being tested by a multitude of government agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency there are serious repercussions for anyone speaking out about lead and the health problems exposure can cause. In desperation the Silver Valley Community Resource Center a 25 year old non-profit organization whose board and members represent six generations of families living in the area with chronic lead poisoned health conditions reached out to begin a Community Lead Health Project in the summer of 2012. The project began on a small scale with 3 families and five children. Out of the five children tested two were found with elevated lead levels. SVCRC and its outside networking support followed...

Recently I sent out a message about this study, pointing out the use of fractionated omega 3 in the DHA only form, and a low dose, les than therapeutic recommendations. Now another of many commentaries has been published. Before you believe the talking heads on your TV station or the internet aggregator sites, do a bit of your own investigation.  We hope this helps. Several scientific studies have found a reduction in prostate cancer associated with increased omega-3 intake. 1-11 A recent report purportedly showed the opposite. 12 This report was based on a single blood test of plasma fatty acids in a group of 834 men who were followed up to six years to assess prostate cancer risk (low- and high-grade disease). A smaller group of 75 men was followed up to nine years to assess only high-grade prostate cancer risk. The results showed that slightly higher omega-3 plasma percentages from this single blood test were associated with a greater risk of low-grade ( 44% ) and hi...

Here's the latest CODEX update from National Health Federation Anti-Vitamin Misinformation The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) celebrated its 50 th  year of existence the first week of July while also conducting its 36 th  session, with several hundreds of member-state delegates and non-governmental organizations in attendance.  Chairman Sanjay Dave was re-elected as CAC Chairman and presided over the meeting in a fair and business-like manner.           But fair and business-like did not compensate for the Commission’s gross nutritional ignorance that resulted in certain Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) being approved for vitamins and minerals over the repeated and strong objections of the National Health Federation (NHF), a Codex-accredited non-governmental organization.           As Scott Tips – the NHF’s delegate at that meeting – remarked afterwards, “ Of course we spoke up  in opposition to ap...

While this article from Gary Scattergood is written about the issue of malnutrition in the UK it is certainly appropriate to raise the same question in the US. In the late 60s when I was in college earning my NP degrees I studied nutrition as an integrated part of the the curriculum.  Certainly we knew then that malnutrition was an issue directly related to health, not some obscure thought.  Even then we knew cancer for instance was a nutritional disease as were many hospital related deaths. Disease now is just thought of as a deficiency of some pharmaceutical drug and the problem is not addressed from all possible and interrelated issues.   Shame on health providers, shame on dietitians, government, and big business along with seemingly ignorant legislators. Put the spotlight on malnutrition instead of obesity The UK is in dire need of a national strategy to tackle malnutrition, which is at least as big a problem to public health and the public...

In very hot weather it is best to bring your loving animal companion indoors. Here are some tips for your dog. Supply shade.  Supply enough water. One quart of water with 1 TBSP raw apple cider vinegar helps people in hot weather and it is safe and helpful for your pets too. Plus it deters fleas and other pests.  Use a cold and wet kerchief tied loosely around their neck.  Thoroughly wet their ears, and if needed, the area under their legs.  Keep off hot concrete as it can burn their paw pads.

Over many years we have covered the topic of vitamin C and its benefits in health and disease.   We have also written on the benefits of garlic for drug resistant TB and how microbiological research proved this.  As this kind of science continues to be rejected by mainstream medicine and Big PhRMA we can only hope the information presented here helps you to be able to speak out to your health care providers about broader care options.  Please use the search function to locate our earlier vitamin C posts and TB related coverage.

Can't say Natural Health News did not warn you it was coming In 2004 I was teaching classes on the topic of EMF induced health risks.  Now we have more than enough proff and this is just one more fact of the problem. Some teens in South Korea exhibiting 'digital dementia' Published: June 26, 2013 at 8:51 AM SEOUL, June 26 (UPI) -- Some teens in South Korea are exhibiting what is being described as "digital dementia," or deterioration of thinking and memory, a psychiatrist says.  Psychiatrist Kim Dae-jin at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital recently diagnosed a 15-year-old boy with symptoms of early onset dementia due to intense exposure to digital technology -- television, computer, smartphone and video games -- since age 5. He could not remember the six-digit keypad code to get into his own home and his memory problems were hurting his grades in school.  "His brain's ability to transfer information to long-term memory has been impaired because of h...

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is facing a dilemma. By Wendell Potter Should he sign a bill that was intended to help many state residents get coverage for cost-effective health care that insurers often refuse to pay for? Or veto the bill because it is loaded with amendments that will benefit insurers and force many Missourians to pay far more for medical care than they do now? Senate Bill 262, introduced by Sen. Kiki Curl, D-Kansas City, would require insurers to pay the same for specialty care delivered via telemedicine as for an office visit. Similar bills have been enacted in other states, including Arizona just last month. But in Missouri, Democrats are now regretting voting for the bill because of amendments added at the last minute that will result in a financial windfall for insurance companies, agents and brokers at the expense of residents. SB 262 would enable insurers to achieve one of their top objectives: converting HMOs into high-deductible plans . ( MORE ) HM...

Hepatitis B vaccine is known to shut down an infant's liver for at least two weeks following injection.  It is also known to be related to the increasing number of cases of Diabetes 1.

As a longtime health care professional and whistle blower I find company in Einer's thoughts as very similar to what I have been telling people for decades. Listen Up! Another risk is ALEC and their effort to bring about Medicare privatization.   More about ALEC will continue on Natural Health News. Myths of “Health Reform”  By Lee Einer    The Democratic Party has recently launched a PR push to assure voters of the wonders of the newly enacted “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.” It seems to me that the Democratic Party is at least a little concerned that this controversial legislation might be an albatross around their necks come midterm elections. They should be. I recently attended a public presentation on the Act, a presentation delivered by an aide to Sen. Jeff Bingaman, a Democrat, who sat on the HELP committee which produced this bill in the senate. Bingaman's aide made some glowing claims for the legislation, and while some were...

The Laws of the Pharmaceutical Industry Posted with permission from my colleague, Dr Arthur Evagelista, formerly with the FDA. The main principles governing the pharmaceutical "business with disease" are: ..."It is not in the financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry to prevent common diseases -  the maintenance and expansion of diseases is a precondition for the financial growth of this industry.." 1  The pharmaceutical industry is an investment industry < http://qualityassurance.synthasite.com/laws/law01.htm >  driven by the profits of its shareholders. Improving human health is not the driving force of this industry. 2  The pharmaceutical investment industry was artificially created and strategically developed over an entire century by the same investment groups that control the global petrochemical and chemical industries. 3 The huge profits < http://qualityassurance.synthasite.com/laws/law03.htm > of the pharmaceutical industry are based on...
