Forbes.(crap news) vs Natural News

Forbes.com hit piece on Natural News backfires: Health Ranger confirmed as world’s most powerful foe of corporate science fraud

Two years ago, I exposed Forbes.com writer Jon Entine as a violent psychopath who physically attacked his wife and committed widespread journalistic fraud to push Monsanto propaganda.

Under pressure for hiring such a reprobate, Forbes.com fired Entine, who has ties to conservative institutions like the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and George Mason University.

 

Entine has a long history of literally fabricating false accusations against critics of Monsanto..During one “investigation” of a body care manufacturing company, he walked into their warehouse, knocked over bottles of their product, then called the authorities to report a dangerous spill to try to shut them down.

Forbes.com and Jon Entine share a common philosophy of deep deception. Both are malicious journo-terrorists, and both take money from powerful corporate interests (like the biotech industry) to smear, slander and defame critics who threaten the profits of their corporate sponsors. In an email to me in 2013, Forbes.com legal counsel openly admitted they have no responsibility to make sure the things they print are true. And they claim to be able to print outright lies under protection from the DMCA.

Forbes was purchased by the communist Chinese

Forbes is a failing propaganda mouthpiece for globalist corporations like Monsanto and various drug and pesticide companies. In 2014, Forbes was on the verge of imploding, so it desperately sought a buyer to bail it out and keep it running.

It found a buyer in communist China, where Hong Kong-based Integrated Asset Management, founded by Tak Cheung Yam, threw down $300 million for the publisher. Steve Forbes hailed the purchase because it traded a collapsing propaganda rag for $300 million real money. (I have to agree with Steve Forbes that he made out like a bandit.)

This means Forbes.com is majority owned by the communist Chinese.

No wonder the publication hates American patriots (and truth in general). Now, it functions more like a Red China propaganda rag than anything resembling a legitimate news organization. While much of the left-wing media in America is currently accusing independent media of being run by the Russians, the deeper truth is that Forbes.com is run by the communist Chinese, and one of its propaganda goals has been to target and attack U.S. patriots who support the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and scientific truth.

Forbes.com’s hit piece on Natural News BACKFIRES

Every few months, Forbes.com runs a hit piece on Natural News, targeting me personally by gathering up a slew of circular logic quotes from representatives of the biotech, pharma and vaccine industries who ridiculously proclaim they all have a monopoly on science. Their latest hit piece claims Natural News and the Health Ranger are such an extreme danger to the very fabric of science in our world that we must be stopped at all costs.

They’ve even rolled out a new hashtag: #NaturalNonsense… hoping it will spread faster than the Zika virus so that vaccine companies can keep receiving billions of dollars in government money to roll out more completely unnecessary vaccines based on a quack medical hoax. (You can go ahead and use the #NaturalNonsense hashtag to turn the tables on these jokers. It’s all so laughable…)

The hit piece quotes a biotech-linked geneticist named Layla “Biochica” Katiraee who claims “Natural News has routinely peddled incorrect information and misled its readers in attempts to sell its nutritional supplements and organic goods that Adams claims protects consumers from a wide range of maladies, ranging from Zika to cancer.” Keep in mind that people like Katiraee are deeply ignorant of nutritional science, and they all believe pesticides and herbicides are completely safe to consume in nearly unlimited quantities. This is the brainwashing they’ve sadly endured, and because they eat so much poison themselves, they often suffer brain damage that impact their ability to think clearly (see below for details on the acetylcholinesterase inhibition caused by exposure to carbamate class pesticides).

In truth, Forbes.com has knowingly and deliberate lied to its readers for years about GMOs, vaccines and pesticides, employing actual sociopaths to pen its propaganda articles while being run by the communist Chinese. These propaganda efforts are not incidental, they are deliberate.

As far as actual science goes, Natural News was the first science journalism site in the world to warn Americans about the dangers of combining DEET-based insect repellants with non-organic food sprayed with carbamate pesticides. The two chemicals combine to form a powerful acetylcholinesterase inhibitor which interferes with cognitive function and can promote symptoms resembling Alzheimer’s and dementia.

My article on this warning was fully documented with the actual chemical structure graphics, numerous citations of scientific literature and references to my own laboratory analysis results. At a time when every mindless mainstream media outlet in the country was stupidly telling Americans to slather themselves with DEET chemicals, Natural News was the website warning people to exercise caution and reduce exposure to DEET. It later turned out, as even the Washington Post admitted, that the Zika virus links to microcephaly were a quack science hoax. (Forbes.com is still apparently unaware of this revelation, which is no surprise.)

The Health Ranger is the science director of a multi-million-dollar, internationally accredited forensic science laboratory

Speaking of real science, my private laboratory is a multi-million-dollar facility that’s independent audited, inspected and accredited by the International Standards Organization (ISO) under 17025 laboratory requirements. This is the gold standard of international laboratory accreditation, and after two years of preparation, we achieved this status in the Spring of 2016. (Forbes.com failed to mention this in their hit piece, for some reason. Guess they don’t want their readers to be informed of actual relevant facts…)

My laboratory is one of the very few independent science labs in America, meaning it takes no money from government grants, academia or powerful corporate interests. Thus, the science we conduct is automatically a more honest, trustworthy and independence science than any “compromised” lab which must answer to the politics of its funding sources. When we participated in a laboratory testing competition involving hundreds of laboratories, all running ICP-MS instrumentation, we scored so high on the test that we were awarded a Certificate of Excellence with a “100% acceptable data” designation. Since then, we’ve also participated in another forensic food analysis competition in which we scored so high that our ISO accreditation organization has now made us their No. 1 food science laboratory choice for accreditation verification. When it comes to real world laboratory science, you can’t get better than what we do at Natural News. We are among the very the best in the world at this applied science for forensic food analysis.

It is in my lab that I analyzed flu shots for mercury elements (scanning multiple isotopes at 200, 201 and 202 amu), discovering that flu shots given to children in the United States still contain over 50,000 ppb mercury, a toxic heavy metals with known neurological damage effects.

This is real science — the kind of science you’ll never see admitted by Forbes.com, academic institutions, science journals or government “authorities.”

“Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts,” physicist Richard Feynman famously said, and Natural News / Health Ranger / CWC Labs are among the very few science-based organizations on the planet that have the courage, funding and determination to call out the “ignorance of the experts” on a vast array of topics, from the total scam of chemotherapy to fraudulent HIV testing to the truth about vaccines causing autism and other neurological disorders in young children.

Forbes.com and the entire mainstream media has lost control of the narrative… and they are terrified

What the Forbes.com hit piece on Natural News really says is that the corrupt mainstream media has lost control of the narrative. Their “monopoly on truth” has been shattered, and because they can’t win any real debate on the facts, their goal is to silence the debate entirely. This is accomplished, they think, by slandering the voices they hope to eliminate. (Such is the “integrity” of their “science.” When they can’t win on the facts, they slander opposing views and proclaim their own opinions to be “divine facts.”)

Whether the subject is climate change, Zika virus, genetically engineered foods, glyphosate herbicide or conventional cancer treatments, Forbes.com is part of the rapidly failing cabal of disinformation propagandists who are losing readers, losing credibility and losing control by the day.

What really set off Forbes and other journo-terrorists in the quackstream media is when I became the lab science director of an ISO-accredited world-class science laboratory. They simply could not believe that a person they labeled “anti-science” could turn out to be a pioneering forensic food science who rapidly attained success as a scientist. When my recent book Food Forensics became the #1 bestselling science book on Amazon.com they completely flipped out.

Then, when I announced a breakthrough mass spec analysis method for the quantitation of cannabidiol molecules in hemp extracts, their jaws dropped to the floor in astonishment. Modern “science,” you see, has been monopolized by a corrupt cabal of corporate fraudsters who work for Big Pharma, Big Biotech and pesticide companies. In contrast, what I’m doing is demonstrating to everyone that any intelligent person can participate in legitimate science… it’s not a special “club” limited only to those who are chosen. Real science is democratic. It’s available to anyone who cares to learn the methods and technologies necessary to conduct science in the public interest. (I’ve also announced a “Science Warrior” effort to offer free ICP-MS lab testing for Native American communities across North America, to help them check for toxic heavy metals in their water systems. This really angers Forbes because they don’t want Native Americans to have an ally in the sciences who can finally expose the industry and government pollution of their waters.)

That’s why today, my laboratory has already published hundreds of water sample analysis results as part of our EPA Watch program, discovering that 6.7% of U.S. water samples violate established EPA limits for toxic heavy metals.

To publish these data (and more lab results coming in 2017), I even launched a new science journal called the Natural Science Journal. There, you can read my science paper entitled, “ICP-MS analysis of toxic elements (heavy metals) in 239 municipal water samples from across the United States.”

Forbes.com doesn’t know anything about real science. They don’t employ credible scientists, they don’t run a laboratory, they aren’t ISO accredited and they are actually nothing more than a propaganda mouthpiece for a combination of the communist Chinese and Monsanto Mafia puppets. Frankly, Forbes writers are too scientifically illiterate to argue any science at all. That’s why they are all industry propagandists, not actual scientists.

BACKFIRE: Natural News fans rip Forbes.com for their total stupidity and irrelevance

Here are just a few of the comments Natural News fans have posted so far in response to the Forbes.com hit piece. What this shows is that nobody is fooled by Forbes’ propaganda. In fact, their Forbes.com hit piece has only confirmed to Natural News readers that we are the real deal (and we aren’t controlled by corporate or globalist interests).

By attacking Natural News, Forbes.com has, in essence, “certified” our status as being truly independent and trustworthy. This works the same way as when the NYT attacks Donald Trump. Because no one trusts the mainstream media anymore, all those attacks only served to increase loyalty and trust in Trump.

Check out some of these comments to see for yourself. See the original link here.

“…Stupid Forbes. you think we’re going to fall for this. We are awakened and ready to discredit you every step of the way.”

“I LOVE Mike Adams and Natural News. If you want TRUTH, not fiction, read Natural News.”

“Mike Adams has saved hundreds of thousands of lives with his science and research on natural cures…”

“I say God Bless the Health Ranger and the Patriots…”

“I LOVE THE NATURAL NEWS WITH MIKE ADAMS!”

“There’s far more REAL TRUTH on Mike Adams NATURAL NEWS site than any so-called real science site…”

“Haha Forbes… YOU jerks are the FAKE NEWS! Natural News is awesome and Mike Adams is an exceptional person that helps people…”

“Forbes is a Rockefeller publication and is deeply embedded and derives substantial revenues from pharmaceutical companies…”

“My wife and I rely on Mike “The Health Ranger” Adams for good, sound, general and specific health advice.”

400 page scientific report - marijuana treats chronic pain

Huge 400 page scientific report concludes marijuana effectively treats chronic pain

A new 400-page analysis of more than 10,000 marijuana studies concluded that marijuana is effective for treating chronic pain, relieving multiple sclerosis symptoms and alleviating the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy.

The report, released by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine on January 12, is the first since 1999 to take a comprehensive look at the overall state of marijuana research, and may have a significant impact on future policy-making decisions at the state and federal level. (RELATED: Learn more breakthroughs in natural medicine at Medicine.news.)

But whether or not the information contained in the report will actually benefit the pro-marijuana movement overall is an open question, since the findings are a mix of positive and negative regarding the use of marijuana and its impact on public health.

The positive findings include “conclusive or substantial” evidence that the above-mentioned therapeutic applications are effective and the fact that there is little or no evidence linking marijuana smoking to cancer.

Perhaps the most potentially significant conclusion made by the researchers was that under marijuana’s current classification as a Schedule I drug, new cannabis research is made difficult to undertake.

The daunting bureaucratic maze and approval process encountered by scientists often discourages new research from being conducted – research the report stressed as necessary to gaining a full understanding of marijuana’s effects on human health and society as a whole.

Study’s impact on future cannabis policy remains to be seen

But the report also contained findings that some in the media are interpreting as a threat to the marijuana industry and legalization movement.

For example, a January 16 Fox News story title asks the question: “Could This Study Be Disastrous for Marijuana Stocks?”

Fox’s take on the report’s potential impact is rather grim:

“A study just released by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine slams many of the purported benefits of marijuana. In one of the most comprehensive studies of the effects of marijuana ever, a heavy-hitting lineup of health and medical experts punched holes in several key arguments that marijuana proponents make. Could this study be disastrous for marijuana stocks?”

The “purported benefits” allegedly slammed by the report include marijuana’s effects on epilepsy, PTSD, HIV/AIDS, Tourette syndrome and other conditions, but the researchers’ general conclusions were that there is simply just not enough evidence to prove such benefits – it’s unclear how Fox News managed to interpret that as a “slam.”

But there were other aspects of the study that indeed may prove to be worrisome for cannabis advocates. The researchers reported evidence associating marijuana to an increased risk of automobile accidents, lower birth weights for babies whose mothers smoked cannabis during pregnancy, and a link between marijuana smoking and bronchial problems.

The release of the study comes a time of flux and uncertainty regarding marijuana’s legal status, particularly in terms of the current divergence between federal laws and those of states which have passed marijuana initiatives. (Stay informed about hemp and marijuana science at HempScience.news)

How will the Trump administration handle the marijuana issue?

It’s unclear how the incoming presidential administration will deal with the issue – Donald Trump himself has provided scant information and somewhat mixed signals – leading up to and since the election – regarding his stance on marijuana, and his nominee for Attorney General, Senator Jeff Sessions, has also given conflicting statements to the press.

In the past, Sessions has said things like: “We need grown-ups in Washington to say marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized,” and “good people don’t smoke marijuana.”

But during his confirmation hearing, when queried on the subject, Sessions said:

“I won’t commit to never enforcing federal law… I think some of [the Obama-era guidelines] are truly valuable in evaluating cases… Using good judgment about how to handle these cases will be a responsibility of mine. I know it won’t be an easy decision, but I will try to do my duty in a fair and just way.”

Most observers seem to agree that going against the wishes of the majority of American voters regarding marijuana legalization would be an unwise political move for the incoming administration. Let’s hope they truly understand that fact and opt for doing the right thing.

Scientists admit copper and silver destroys norovirus

aAfter years of suppression, scientists finally admit copper destroys norovirus (and so does silver)


(NaturalNews) The highly infectious norovirus, or stomach flu bug, causes a very common illness, affecting hundreds of millions of people who come into contact with it through contaminated food, water, surfaces or other people every year. Now, scientists have discovered that copper and its more than 300 different alloys don't just fight norovirus - copper destroys it.

Simulating contamination via touch, researchers found that norovirus could not survive on any dry surface containing more than 60% copper. The findings do not apply solely to norovirus either but to a range of various fungi and bacteria. Armed with this knowledge, lead study author Sarah Warnes

noted that copper-rich antimicrobial surfacing in high-traffic public areas, especially care facilities, could reduce norovirus exposure and significantly cut down how many people get sick.

This research reaffirms a previous study out of the University of Nebraska that was the first to demonstrate that when microbes were exposed to dry, copper-infused surfaces, hundreds of millions of bacterial cells died within minutes.

Copper's antimicrobial properties have been known for thousands of years, dating back to an ancient Egyptian text that discussed using the mineral as a sterilization agent for wounds and drinking water. The Father of Modern Medicine, Hippocrates, even mentioned copper as a treatment for leg ulcers circa 400 B.C. Further ancient copper cures span the gamut of treatments, including for infected ears, purging the stomach of intestinal parasites and lung diseases.

Likewise, silver has been used for centuries to fight germs as well. Silver was used in the creation of cups, plates and eating utensils (that's why they call it 'silverware') to keep pathogens at bay. In more recent times, American pioneers would place silver or copper coins in their drinking water casks to keep it germ-free.

Conventional medicine has not respected ancient health traditions.

Although various forms of colloidal silver solutions have been used for hundreds of years as a natural antibiotic, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ran a scaremongering campaign against it, claiming it would turn people silver. No, really. In reality, the amount of silver in these solutions is in the hundred parts per million range, way below the amount it would take to actually turn anyone's skin silver. With humans ingesting silver for thousands of years, if it were really so dangerous, we'd see a lot more silver people walking around by now.

We have witnessed an overuse of antibiotic pharmaceutical drugs in modern times that has led to the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs such as MRSA - or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - an infectious, flesh-eating bacteria found primarily in hospitals (where, consequently, it has been shown to spread the fastest and can do the most damage to people who are the most vulnerable).

While mainstream medical science has thus far been clueless as to how to curb this growing epidemic, the norovirus researchers found that dry copper surfaces also kill MRSA within minutes of contact. Interestingly, most hospitals use stainless steel surfaces. These researchers were able to demonstrate in a side-by-side microscopic comparison how copper beats out stainless steel in wiping out MRSA (see video here). Stainless steel had little to no effect on the superbug.

Perhaps most important, unlike antibiotics, microbes do not build up a resistance to copper or silver.

Currently, data shows that one in every 20 hospital patients contracts an infection while hospitalized; this results in 1.7 million sick people and approximately 100,000 U.S. deaths each year at a cost of $10 billion annually. With the staggering amount of research showing copper and silver's potential to reduce the adverse health effects from out-of-control bacteria, specifically in a hospital setting, it's astonishing that these solutions are being ignored or even suppressed.

Hamas Holds AP Journalist at Gunpoint, Beats AFP Photographer

Hamas Holds AP Journalist at Gunpoint, Beats AFP Photographer for Covering Major Protest

by TheTower.org Staff | 01.12.17 3:12 pm

Hamas blocked journalists from filming a major protest against power cuts in the northern Gaza Strip on Thursday, detaining an Associated Press journalist at gunpoint and badly beating an Agence France-Presse photographer who refused to relinquish his camera.

The journalists sought to cover a demonstration against chronic electricity shortages in Gaza, which the AP described as “one of the largest unauthorized protests in the territory since the Islamic militant group took power a decade ago.”

“Hamas forces blocked journalists from filming the gathering, and an Associated Press journalist was briefly detained at gunpoint until he handed over his mobile phones to plainclothes security men,” the AP reported.

According to the Foreign Press Association, the Hamas men “stuck a pistol in his chest and verbally threatened the reporter until he agreed to give them the phones.”

In its statement, the association added that “an AFP photographer was badly beaten to the head by uniformed policemen [and] required medical care after he had refused to give up his camera. The memory card of his camera was confiscated and he was placed under arrest. He was subsequently released and the memory card was returned.”

A day before the protest, Hamas arrested a local comedian who made a viral video protesting the power outages.

Hamas has frequently come under criticism for limiting press freedoms, including by warning journalists against sharing incriminating details in reports from Gaza and forcing them to delete such details if they are included in coverage of events.

In a 2009 report for the Gatestone Institute, veteran Palestinian affairs journalist Khaled Abu Toameh explained:

Foreign journalists who manage to cross into the Gaza Strip face many restrictions imposed by the Hamas government. Local facilitators hired by foreign journalists are also under scrutiny by the Hamas government. That is why they are careful not to bring the dirty laundry out by telling the foreign media about things that could reflect negatively on Hamas.

This was most evident during Operation Protective Edge, the 2014 war between Israel and Hamas. Foreign reporters later admitted that they had waited to report news that put Hamas in a bad light, such as their use of human shields and even their decision to fire rockets next door to their hotel, until after they had left the Strip for fear of retaliation. A Hamas spokeswoman admitted in August 2014 that the terror group had intimidated journalists into putting out more favorable coverage.

Former AP correspondent Mark Lavie wrote in The Tower that month that the intimidation of reporters was the primary reason news from Gaza is skewed:

A reporter for a European news outlet told a friend that he saw Hamas gunmen firing rockets from outside his hotel, but he didn’t take pictures, certain that if he had, they would have killed him. He told the tale only after he was safely out of Gaza. Apparently his news outlet did not have a permanent local stringer there, or he would not have been able to speak even from the relative safety of Tel Aviv without endangering his stringer. …

Journalists, of course, won’t tell you what you’re missing in the coverage. Their anchors or editors won’t tell you why large parts of the story are colored a certain way or taken from a certain angle. They don’t want to put their reporters’ lives at risk.

This is the main reason that video and pictures seem to flow freely out of Gaza. But critical elements of the story itself can’t, and neither can all the pictures and video. It gives the impression that the story is being covered, when only part of it—sometimes a small part—is being covered.

In August, the nonprofit organization Human Rights Watch condemned the treatment of journalists by both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, stating that their tactics led to a “chilling effect” on freedom of expression in the Palestinian territories. “Both Palestinian governments, operating independently, have apparently arrived at similar methods of harassment, intimidation and physical abuse of anyone who dares criticize them,” said Sari Bashi, HRW’s Israel/Palestine director.

In 2015, the Palestinian territories received an unfavorable press freedom score of 84 (with 100 being the worst) from Freedom House. A survey released by the Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms in 2014 found that “80% of Palestinian journalists in the West Bank and Gaza practice self-censorship of their writing.” A poll published that same year by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found that 70 percent of Palestinians did not feel that they could criticize the PA.

A terrorist organization running a state, what can you expect but violence to protect their interests! THEY are not fit to rule as their main goal is to enrich themselves and use all monetary funds for their terror related purposes like building tunnels, purchasing arms, rockets, military arsenal. And they used innocent civilians as shields and endanger them by firing rockets from their residences. WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP THEY ARE!!!!

Eat the right fats: Butter vs. margarine

 

 





(NaturalNews) Butter, once touted as a super villain known to cause heart disease and premature death, is now making its way to a superfood status. Does this misunderstood dairy product have you confused too? You are not alone. While margarine and butter may look similar, they are actually entirely different.

Butter contains saturated fat, while margarine contains unsaturated fat. If you are a

 

margarine lover, it may be because you once were told or heard that margarine is the healthier, cholesterol-free option. While it might not add cholesterol to your body, margarine is pure poison in disguise. (RELATED: Read more news on how food ingredients affect your health at Ingredients.news)

What’s the real deal behind the age-old butter versus margarine debate?

To answer that question, we must go back in time. In 1903, researchers found that adding hydrogen to vegetable oils – such as canola oil, palm fruit oil and soybean oil – turned them into a more solid state, creating a highly processed, soft and spreadable product that closely resembled butter, but was much cheaper to produce. This was one of the reasons why margarine became such a popular product.

Rising heart disease was another reason butter had to make way for margarine. In the 1950s, some scientists made the connection between saturated fats (found only in animal products, coconut and palm oil) and high cholesterol levels and heart health. These studies, however, later proved to be wrong. Simple carbohydrates like white bread and refined sugar are to blame. As reported by Natural Blaze, a slightly higher level of cholesterol is no longer thought to be as bad. In women, it has even been linked to a longer life.

Furthermore, heart disease was rare in America at the turn of the century. When the butter consumption plummeted from 18 pounds per person per year to four between 1920 and 1960, heart disease became America’s number one killer. Also, in countries where cows are grass-fed, butter consumption is associated with a dramatic reduction in heart disease risk, reported Medical News Today. So, how exactly could butter be blamed as a cause of heart disease?

Nonetheless, the seed was planted, and butter received its heart-unfriendly reputation. With the aid of clever marketing campaigns by the vegetable oil industry, butter and other natural products containing saturated fats – such as coconut oil – slowly had to make way for the chemically altered vegetable oils and margarine which were the so-called “healthier” and “heart-friendly” fats.

Trans fats are your worst nightmare

Even today, if you walk through the dairy aisle, it is the margarine that steals the show. Flashy packages state their many health benefits, while butter just mentions it is butter; no fancy customer-luring claims there.

It is true that saturated fats add calories and cholesterol to your body, but in truth, your body needs moderate amounts of saturated and unsaturated fats to function properly and maintain brain function.

Despite the fact that margarine contains healthy omega-3s and no cholesterol, the nutrition label hides a far more dangerous truth: trans fats. While the effects of trans fats on the body were not fully understood and recognized by the early margarine manufacturers, recent studies have shown that these man-made fats are the ones to fear – not saturated fats.

Trans fats are of no use to your body, and have been shown to raise bad cholesterol while reducing good cholesterol levels. Furthermore, a 2008 study found a 23 percent increase in coronary artery disease with just a 2 percent increase in energy taken from trans fats. Furthermore, they found evidence of the effects of trans fats in relation to atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, diabetes and infant development.

The decision about whether to choose organic grass-fed butter or highly processed margarine packed with trans fats seems obvious. Next time you go grocery shopping, ignore the empty health claims and go for the real thing instead.
