Group seeks class status for potential lawsuit | November 29, 2011 | Called “Chemtrail Geo-Engineering Lawsuit,” the approximately 300-member group is seeking more members who have tested positive for heavy metals in their blood and hair follicles, and those who have had tests conducted on rainwater and soil samples. Read more...
EDITOR'S COMMENT: After following the chemtrails vs. contrails from commercial jets, reviewing research and imaging verifying the existence, am convinced this is both intentionally covered up and very dangerous to life as we know it. Achieving cloud cover this way causes artificial cooling to counter effects of Global Warming. Comparing this to allopathic medicine vs. natural remedies, we should know that relieving symptoms does not always eliminate disease. Like with medicine, eliminating pollution causing excessive Global warming is, in my opinion, a much better plan, supporting clean, green technologies.

FDA revokes approval of Avastin for breast cancer | Associated Press | November 19, 2011 | Food and Drug Administration said it appeared to be a false hope for breast cancer: Studies haven't found that it helps those patients live longer or brings enough other benefit to outweigh its dangerous side effects. Read more...

5 Foods for Glowing Skin | RealBeauty | 11-18-2011 | Beauty | What you eat is important for your health, yes, but did you realize that what you put in your mouth can have an effect on your beauty, too? Here, we identified five foods to include in your diet for glowing skin. Read more...
EDITOR'S NOTE: A great "glowing skin" food is yoghurt, yet I prefer the non-dairy variety. It is a living food, a culture full of probiotics, one of the most important nutrients for regeneration.
Veganism has some stylish new spokespeople: Celebs | JOCELYN NOVECK | Associated Press | November 17, 2011 | NEW YORK | Call them the big-time vegans: The celebrity standard-bearers for a vegan lifestyle aren't just wispy young actresses. They include talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres, along with wife Portia de Rossi. (Or Oprah Winfrey, who isn't vegan but led her staff on a public 21-day vegan cleanse.) Or men like Ozzy Osbourne and Russell Brand, who in recent weeks both declared themselves vegans. Athletes like Carl Lewis and Mike Tyson. Even NFL player Tony Gonzalez, tight end for the Atlanta Falcons and 245-plus pounds -- attributes his longevity to a largely vegan diet. Read more...

One in five Americans has hearing loss | Dalina Castellanos, Los Angeles Times | November 14, 2011 | A study published Monday in Archives of Internal Medicine found that 20% of Americans over the age of 12 experience hearing loss in at least one ear.

Sugary drinks hurt even skinny women's hearts | Lauren Cox | 11/13/201 | TODAY / MSNBC | Women who drank two or more sugary beverages per day were four times more likely to develop high triglyceride levels than women who drank fewer sugar-sweetened beverages.

Cost, need questioned in $433-million smallpox drug deal | David Willman, Los Angeles Times | November 13, 2011 | A company controlled by a longtime political donor gets a no-bid contract to supply an experimental remedy for a threat that may not exist. Read more...
EDITOR'S COMMENT: Although small compared to "no bid contracts" for Cheney's Halliburton during Bush Presidency, this is simply a case example of lobbying leading to big money for political donors. This severe misuse of government funding needs to stop.
Martin Hanczyc: The line between life and not-life | TED | In his lab, Martin Hanczyc makes "protocells," experimental blobs of chemicals that behave like living cells. His work demonstrates how life might have first occurred on Earth ... and perhaps elsewhere too. Online video...
Study questions benefits of reducing sodium in diet | Anne Harding, Health - CNN | November 9, 2011 | The analysis, which was conducted by Danish researchers and published this week in the American Journal of Hypertension, found that sharply reducing sodium intake increases a person's total cholesterol by about 2.5%, on average -- potentially upping the risk of heart disease and heart attacks, the researchers say. Read more...
EDITOR'S NOTE: Previous posting applies more with people participating in SAD [standard American diet] ways, eating animal products high in saturated fats and cholesterol. When people start realizing the difference, it is apparent that natural unrefined salts do not significantly raise blood pressure. My advice: Go vegan, and reduce the risk, maintaining a good balance.
Soda bans don't keep kids from sugary drinks | Ryan Jaslow | November 8, 2011 (CBS) Schools across the country have stepped into the role of health police, banning the sale of sugary sodas from kids. But while the bans might make a can of soda harder to come by, a new study found kids are still gulping plenty of sugary drinks. Read more...
EDITOR'S COMMENT: Like drug abuse, a simple ban on soft drinks will not solve this problem. The best case scenario is simple: Keep share honest, truthful information like you get here on the web's "Healing News Network". Simple understanding helps, yet addictions are challenges many have, whatever it is. Compassion is great, yet it takes more.
Looking at the link between diabetes and dementia | Shari Roan, Los Angeles Times | November 7, 2011 | The concept that brain diseases share little in common with diseases arising elsewhere in the body is rapidly crumbling, says Debra Cherry, executive vice president of the Alzheimer's Assn.

Eating food that’s alive | SETO KIT YAN | November 6, 2011 | TheStar | (Malaysia) Neither the raw food nor vegan diet is new but they have yet to catch on in a big way here in Malaysia – or so I thought. When I began tweeting about my lunch boxes, though, I discovered a local raw food community. Read more...
The Department of Health and Human Services' Death Panel | Steve Forbes | 11/03/2011 | Forbes | It’s called the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a committee of “experts” appointed by the Department of Health & Human Services. This group recently de-clared that men should not be routinely screened for prostate cancer. The most common test is the PSA, which is part of a blood test. The panel also said no to rectal exams and ultrasounds, claiming that testing does no good, that it doesn’t save lives. Read more...
EDITOR'S COMMENT: I do not, and cannot agree with Steve Forbes, an advocate of conventional medical, especially when routine conventional screening for cancer often causes worse side effects than present symptoms, leading to even more health complications. There are simply too many invasive screenings followed by even more invasive treatments, when simple dietary / lifestyle adjustments are often known to reverse these conditions without surgery, chemicals and radiation.
It's time our Government and Conventional practicioners to allow funding of free will choice who we pay for treatment. I am and always will be an advocate of holistic / natural remedies.

Diabetes shame plus denial a risky combo | Rita Rubin | msnbc | 11/3/2011 | Hyde's efforts to hide her diabetes aren't unusual. Few chronic diseases carry more stigma than Type 2 diabetes.
