HIV vaccines cause 50 percent false positive rate in HIV tests
By Mike Adams, July 20 2010
(NaturalNews) It may come as a big surprise to most people, but HIV tests given to people today don't actually test for the presence of the HIV virus. Rather, they test for the presence of HIV antibodies that the immune system creates to defend itself against HIV. And just because you have HIV antibodies doesn't mean you actually carry HIV. In some circumstances, up to 50 percent of HIV positives are false, causing havoc with the lives of those patients who are falsely accused of being "HIV positive...
Fish oil reduces risk of breast cancer by a third
By S. L. Baker, July 20 2010
(NaturalNews) When you look at statistics about breast cancer, it's no wonder that the very mention of the disease causes dread in many women. After all, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) says about 210,000 Americans, almost all females, will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and about 40,000 will die from the disease. However, although it's rarely reported in depth by the mainstream media, there's actually a lot of good news accumulating about specific ways to stop breast cancer from...
Radiation scan problems only noticed after patients' hair falls out
By David Gutierrez, July 20 2010
(NaturalNews) New concern over lack of regulation in medical radiation has been spurred by a case in which more than 300 patients received excessive levels of radiation, but doctors only uncovered the problem when patients' hair began to fall out. The radiation errors occurred at three hospitals in Los Angeles and one in Alabama, during heart tests performed with a special form of computed tomography (CT) scan. Some patients received more than eight times the intended radiation dose. Since...

Beet juice lowers blood pressure
By S. L. Baker, July 19 2010
(NaturalNews) The vegetable known as the beetroot in Great Britain (and usually called the table beet, garden beet, red beet or just plain beet in the U.S.) has been studied in recent years for its health-building properties. For example, scientists have found it is rich in the nutrient betaine, which reduces the blood concentration of homocycsteine, a substance linked to heart disease and stroke. Now a study just published in the American Heart Association's Hypertension journal concludes drinking...
HIV drug causes liver damage, admits FDA
By David Gutierrez, July 19 2010
(NaturalNews) The HIV drug Videx (sold generically as didanosine) may cause fatal liver problems, the FDA has warned.

In four of these cases, patients died from liver failure or severe bleeding. Only three patients were able to fully recover from the condition, and all of those needed a liver...

Plant extract heals ulcerative colitis, may prevent colon cancer
By S. L. Baker, July 17 2010
(NaturalNews) Ulcerative colitis is a serious disease that affects about a million people in the U.S., causing inflammation and sores in the lining of the rectum and colon that bleed, produce pus and cause frequent diarrhea. Although drugs, especially steroids, can sometimes soothe symptoms, Big Pharma has been unable to come up with a cure. Fortunately, however, scientists are finding natural substances may be able to prevent and treat ulcerative colitis. For example, as NaturalNews previously...
Foods and drinks sweetened with fructose linked to high blood pressure
By S. L. Baker, July 16 2010
(NaturalNews) Fruits and vegetables contain relatively small amounts of the form of sugar known as fructose. But the typical American diet is now loaded with unnaturally high amounts of refined versions of this sweetener, primarily in the form of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). HFCS is found in everything from soft drinks and juice drinks to bakery products and other processed foods and it has been linked to a host of health woes ranging from obesity to the pre-diabetic condition known as metabolic...

China's reckless use of antibiotics unleashes deadly superbugs on the world
By David Gutierrez, July 16 2010
(NaturalNews) China's profligate use of antibiotics in both medicine and agriculture is creating a grave threat to global health, scientists have warned. Overuse of antibiotics encourages the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, also known as "superbugs," which are far more dangerous than their antibiotic-sensitive relatives. The overuse of medical antibiotics in China is well-documented, and is attributed in part to the country's underfunded health care system. Because hospitals are...

Fructose results in more belly fat and less insulin-sensitive fat
By S. L. Baker, July 15 2010
(NaturalNews) High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is hard to avoid if you eat processed foods -- it's used to sweeten soft drinks, candy bars, bread, salad dressings, fruit drinks and thousands of other items. But it's worth the effort to read labels and avoid the stuff. The reason? Research has mounted over the past couple of years that HFCS may be just plain dangerous to health. For example, researchers from Loyola University Health System have found women who drink at least two cans of HFCS-sweetened...
Soda consumption linked to pancreatic cancer
By David Gutierrez, July 15 2010
(NaturalNews) Drinking more than one sweetened soft drink per week may significantly increase your risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Minnesota and published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. "The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin in the body, which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth," lead researcher Mark Pereira said. The researchers followed...
