dairyOn some bureaucrat’s desk in President Obama’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB), sits a document that has the power to either destroy the nation’s 1,800 family-operated organic dairy farms or come to their rescue.

In the early 2000s, virtually all of the nation’s organic dairy farmers - not to mention the millions of consumers willing to pay a premium for organic products - agreed that milk certified as organic by the United States Department of Agriculture had to come from cows that had access to pasture.

Makers of natural-health products say they are bracing for widespread layoffs and millions of dollars in losses after Canada’s pharmacy regulators issued a surprise directive recently urging druggists to stop selling unlicensed natural remedies.

The order affects thousands of herbal treatments, multi-vitamins and other products, most of them waiting for approval from Health Canada under a backlogged, five-year-old program to regulate natural-health goods. Read more

CANCER patients are offering themselves as human guinea pigs as researchers investigate a possible cure for cancer found in north Queensland rainforests.

Scientists have identified a compound in the fruit of the native blushwood shrub that appears to “liquefy and destroy cancer with no side-effects”, according to latest research.

Found deep in the remnants of a 130 million-year-old rainforest, the fruit extract may yet hold the secret antidote to Australia’s No.1 killer disease. Read more

Women of childbearing age can reduce the risk of having a child born with a neural tube defect such as spina bifida by eating enough folate or folic acid. However, folate prevents only about 70 percent of these defects.

New research using mice at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis confirms the importance of another nutrient, inositol, to protect against the development of neural tube defects. Read more

Scientists who scanned the brains of volunteers as they were given the Chinese therapy found it deactivated pathways that govern pain.

Complementary medicine expert Dr Hugh MacPherson, of the University of York, said: “These results provide objective scientific evidence that acupuncture has specific effects within the brain which hopefully will lead to a better understanding of how acupuncture works.”

The findings, published in Brain Research, suggest acupuncture has a significant effect on specific nerve structures. Read more

HFA is one of the leading websites promoting alternative medicines such as MMS and vitamins to stay healthy. It is not often that we get a study comparing vitamins to a popular drug by Big Pharma.
But sometimes it seems pigs due fly and we got such a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine comparing an inexpensive form of vitamin B (Niacin) to a popular cholesterol drug (Zetia) made by Merck. And guess what? The vitamin was better!
Niacin had a beneficial effect on the plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the brain, but despite the fact that Zetia reduced LDL by almost 20 percent in patients who already had LDL cholesterol levels of less than 100 mg/dL, patients taking the drug had a slight worsening of the plaque build-up. Moreover, nine patients in the Zetia arm had heart attacks, stroke, or died from heart disease, versus just two patients taking niacin. Read more

Health Freedom Alliance has brought you many articles on the harmful effects of genetically modified crops but sometimes a list is helpful. The following are ten reasons why we don’t need them. Perhaps the most important reason is number 2. GM crops do not increase yields! The former US EPA and US FDA biotech specialist Dr Gurian-Sherman, concludes that when it comes to yield, “Traditional breeding outperforms genetic engineering hands down.”"Let’s be clear. As of this year [2008], there are no commercialized GM crops that inherently increase yield. Similarly, there are no GM crops on the market that were engineered to resist drought, reduce fertilizer pollution or save soil. Not one.”
If they are unable to increase yields is there any reason to put up with their harmful effects? Read more

Heart disease remains the No. 1 killer of women in America. One in three women dies of heart disease. A majority of women believe that cancers pose a greater risk to women’s health than heart disease, however 50 percent of women die from cardiovascular disease compared to 4 percent from breast cancer. In 2006, all cardiovascular diseases in the United States combined claimed the lives of almost twice as many females compared to all forms of cancer combined. Read more
