Dementia death risk doubles on some antipsychotics | CBC News | Feb 24, 2012 | An analysis of tens of thousands of people in nursing homes in the U.S. suggests that residents who take certain antipsychotic drugs for dementia are at about double the risk of dying compared to residents not taking those specific medications.

Teen tied and shocked for hours; mom calls it "torture" | Mike Beaudet | February 20, 2012 | MyFoxBoston | Video of a disabled teenager bound and administered electric shocks for seven hours should be made public, the boy's mother says, so the "torture" her son endured at the controversial school can be exposed. Read more...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Although never a big fan of FoxNews, this is verfiable research and evidence, a classic example of heinous criminal activity within our present day medical profession that has to be stopped. At 19 years old, I was subjected to similar treatment after turning pure vegetarian, only wishing to fast and purify. My parents thought I was crazy for refusing to eat meat, while having enlightening revelations. They asked Minister of their church and head Psychiatrist of the county to violate my rights by kidnapping and locking me up against my will, in a Psych Ward. Two weeks later I was released, when they found me to be totally non violent, a "model patient", and nothing wrong with me, a lucky one, that was protected by the "Angelic Host".

The year was 1971, and I was literally treated like a "guinea pig", treated more like a macabre "experiment" than anything that actually helps humans. Check this video link for further information: Electric Shock Treatments in Massachusetts ...I truly believe parents authorizinge psychotropic drugs followed by shocking need to know the truth and understand...


You can find out much more and what you can do about this, by going to the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR).

40+ years later, I am still vegan, still non violent, and have made it my life work to stop destructive and violent ways of people doing things like this, shown in previous videos. Sincerely, Dennis Knicely, Editor / Publisher http://www.HealingNews.com

It’s Not a Fairytale: Seattle to Build Nation’s First Food Forest | Clare Leschin-Hoar | February 21, 2012 | TakePart | Seattle’s vision of an urban food oasis is going forward. A seven-acre plot of land in the city’s Beacon Hill neighborhood will be planted with hundreds of different kinds of edibles: walnut and chestnut trees; blueberry and raspberry bushes; fruit trees, including apples and pears; exotics like pineapple, yuzu citrus, guava, persimmons, honeyberries, and lingonberries; herbs; and more. All will be available for public plucking to anyone who wanders into the city’s first food forest. Read more...

CDC: 13 deaths tied to bath refinishing chemical | 02-24-2012 | AP / USAToday | "Each death occurred in a residential bathroom with inadequate ventilation," the CDC said in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

Bird flu may not be so deadly after all, new analysis claims | February 24, 2012 | Reuters - FoxNews | Bird flu may be far less lethal to people than the World Health Organization's assessment of a death rate topping 50 percent, scientists said in a finding that adds fuel to the heated controversy over publication of bird flu research. Read more...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Wow, truth from FoxNews! I am amazed. Yet do they realize flu is our friend, simply helping bodies eliminate dangerous crud from consuming birds and swine...? This is a simple yet complex reasoning. Read more...

Raw milk illness rates in U.S. prompt CDC warning | CDC reports twice the rate of outbreaks from raw compared to pasteurized milk products | CBC News | Feb 22, 2012 | The rate of disease outbreaks caused by raw milk and related products was 150 times greater than outbreaks linked to pasteurized milk during a 13-year period, according to a study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

What is holistic health? | Chad Callais | FEBRUARY 11, 2012 | Examiner| | When individuals hear the term ‘holistic health’, what they normally envision are people sitting in a circle, cross-legged, chanting mantras while engrossed in a spiritual environment of gross meditation. That may have been the case decades or even centuries ago, but that is no longer the case. According to the American Holistic Health Association (AHHA), holistic health is associated with the new term in health – wellness. The purpose of holistic health is to promote holistic principles in three main domains – body, mind and spirit. Read more...

Healing Japan's tsunami survivors with cuteness Life-like, robotic seals help survivors cope with depression | February 20, 2012 | NYDailyNews | Tsuyako Kumagai, a 47-year-old housewife, said her friends in temporary houses are happy with Paro as a substitute for the pets that were swept away by the gigantic waves.

Slow walking 'predicts dementia' | 15 February 2012 | BBC | A study, published in the British Medical Journal in 2009, said there was a "strong association" between slow walking speed and death from heart attacks and other heart problems. A Journal of the American Medical Association study suggested a link between walking faster over the age of 65 and a longer life. Read more...

The Surprising Benefits of Mindful Eating | Dr. Susan Albers | 02/13/2012 | NYTimes | The concept has roots in Buddhist teachings. Just as there are forms of meditation that involve sitting, breathing, standing and walking, many Buddhist teachers encourage their students to meditate with food, expanding consciousness by paying close attention to the sensation and purpose of each morsel. In one common exercise, a student is given three raisins, or a tangerine, to spend 10 or 20 minutes gazing at, musing on, holding and patiently masticating. Read more...

Arsenic found in organic baby food, cereal bars | Rachel Rettner | 02-16-2012 | MSNBC | The majority of arsenic the researchers found was inorganic, which is generally thought to be more harmful than organic arsenic. Chronic exposure to low levels of inorganic arsenic has been linked to increased risks of bladder, lung and skin cancer, as well as Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, according to the EPA. Read more...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Source of this "inorganic arsenic" is organic brown rice syrup. Adults would likely have to consume quite a bit of rice over the course of decades for it to have an effect, said Christopher States, a toxicologist at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. However, babies are at a higher risk, and more susceptible to possible harm. Organic arsenic is highly alkaline and essentially harmless to humans when found naturally in apples, oranges and other foods.

Electronic cigarette explodes in man's mouth, causes serious injuries | February 16, 2012 (CBS/AP) So much for being safer. An electronic cigarette blew up in a Florida man's face, leaving him in a hospital with severe burns, missing his front teeth and a chunk of his tongue. Read more...

Man suffers heart attack while eating at Heart Attack Grill (Video) | Eric Pfeiffer | The Sideshow - Yahoo | 02-15-2012 | Millions of Americans watch what they eat. But one Las Vegas man has painfully discovered that where you eat can have a big impact on your health as well. In a story almost too bizarre to be true, a man suffered a heart attack after eating a "triple bypass burger" at the Heart Attack Grill in downtown Las Vegas, local affiliate Fox5 reports. Read more...

EDITOR'S NOTE: On top of cholesterol [from cheese], saturated fat, plaque, etc. etc. leading to heart disease and strokes, fried meat is now considered the #1 cause of cancer. Enjoy, if you like what many conventional MDs call "comfort foods", as it gives them bigger budgets to prescribe VERY dangerous drugs, that is followed by _______ [best left unsaid]... Do you really care for loved ones? Consider this before your next indulgence.

Research: Roundup Diluted by 450,000% is Still Toxic to DNA | Sayer Ji | February 15th 2012 | GreenMedInfo | New research released ahead of print and published in the journal Archives of Toxicology indicates that Roundup, the most common formulation of the herbicide glyphosate, is not only more toxic than its constituent ingredients, but is capable of damaging DNA within a human cell line when diluted down to 450,000% lower concentrations than presently used in GMO agricultural applications. In the researchers' own words, Roundup has "genotoxic effects after short exposure to concentrations that correspond to a 450-fold dilution of spraying used in agriculture." Read more...

12 Things You Didn’t Know About ‘I Will Always Love You’ | Chris Willman | 02-15-2012 | Stop The Presses! - Yahoo | | You probably already knew that Whitney Houston's recording of "I Will Always Love You" is one of the biggest singles of the last 25 years... and the song that defined her legacy, as proven by its use as the lone ballad of homage to Houston at Sunday night's Grammys. Maybe you even know that a not-so-behind-the-scenes songsmith named Dolly Parton wrote and first recorded it, almost 20 years before Whitney spent a then-record 14 weeks at the top of the singles chart in 1992-93 with what turned out to be her signature song. Read more...

Dear Readers, Though never a fan of corruption, drugs and alcohol that has devasted our culture, it is undeniable that this song has probably influenced more people, and struck a cord with society than any other in Modern History. This is a classic example how one person, dedicating their lives to sharing light and beauty, can in fact Change the World. My heart goes out to ALL the victims of unhealthy habits and abuse leading to severe losses of loved ones. Blessings to all - Dennis

Lead found in 400 types of lipstick: Which has most? | Ryan Jaslow | February 15, 2012 | CBSNews | "Lead builds up in the body over time and lead-containing lipstick applied several times a day, every day, can add up to significant exposure levels," Dr. Mark Mitchell, co-chair of the environmental health task force for the National Medical Association, said in a Safe Cosmetics written statement. Read more...

400 shades of lipstick found to contain lead, FDA says | Dina ElBoghdady | 02-15-2012 | Washington Post | Five lipsticks made by L’Oreal and Maybelline, owned by L’Oreal USA, ranked among the top 10 most contaminated of the cosmetics, according to testing by the Food and Drug Administration. Two Cover Girl and two NARS lipsticks also landed in the top 10, as did one made by Stargazer. Read more...

EDITOR'S COMMENT: Previous two articles give different perspectives on same subject. Women and men, it is time to advocate the "natural organic" look, that I personally feel is much more attractive. Young women: Taking care of your body by eating correctly leads to more inner and outer beauty than ALL the plastic surgeries, dangerous chemical makeups, augmentations, liposuction, etc. etc. combined!

300,000 Organic Farmers Sue Monsanto in Federal Court: Decision on March 31st to Go To Trial | NationofChange | 02-14-2012 | Not only does this lawsuit debate the issue of Monsanto potentially ruining the organic farmers’ pure seeds and crops with the introduction of Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) seeds anywhere near the organic farms, but additionally any nearby GM fields can withstand Monsanto’s Roundup herbicides, thus possibly further contaminating the organic farms nearby if Roundup is used.

Your own stem cells can repair damaged heart | PTI | Feb 15, 2012 | The Times of India | "This discovery challenges the conventional wisdom that, once established, cardiac scarring is permanent and that, once lost, healthy heart muscle cannot be restored," said the researchers . Read more...

EDITOR'S COMMENT: Although never a great fan of conventional medical procedure, previous posting says it all: The heart can be restored, yet up to this point conventional doctors have said it it is not possible. While utilizing a viable natural / holistic approach, we have many testimonials, yet "conventional status quo" would challenge this. Eat well, stay healthy, my friends and family. This way you will not need invasive treatments expained in previous article.

Give someone, anyone, a hug today, and simply say "I love you!"

Wishing all our readers to have a happy heart healthy Valentines Day while we use this time to appreciate those we deeply love and respect.

Love is medicine for healing the world | Nelson Price | Cherokee Tribune | February 12, 2012 | However, it was the Romans who initiated the celebration. In the 200s A.D., a Christian named Valentine lived in Rome under the cruel Emperor Claudius II. Claudius II had Valentine put in prison for aiding persecuted Christians. There he was the Lord’s agent for healing the jailor’s daughter of blindness. Around 270 A.D. he was beheaded on Palatine Hill, a victim of his loyalty to the Lord. Read more...

FDA staffers sue agency over surveillance of personal e-mail | Ellen Nakashima and Lisa Rein | Washington Post | The Food and Drug Administration secretly monitored the personal e-mail of a group of its own scientists and doctors after they warned Congress that the agency was approving medical devices that they believed posed unacceptable risks to patients, government documents show. Read more...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Dr. Mercola reported that a medical device approved by FDA yet posing "unacceptable risks to patients" were radiology devices used for mammograms. To find out more of the truth, check out: "Breast Healing & Health Information" and/or read the Dr's article, posted next...

The Major Cause of Breast Cancer Almost Everyone Ignores | Dr. Mercola | February 14 2012 | Although its roots go way further back, the current saga began in 2007, when the plaintiffs, all of whom worked for the FDA's Office of Device Evaluation, claim they began making internal complaints about a dozen radiological devices about to be approved despite lack of proof of effectiveness. The doctors and scientists were concerned that millions of patients would be put at risk. Read more...

Does PETA ad featuring a young, pantsless woman in a neckbrace promote veganism, or offend? | Dylan Stableford | 02-14-2012 | The Cutline | PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is known for its provocative ads--many of them featuring women in various states of undress--that aim to draw attention (however indirectly) to animal rights. But their latest ad, a Valentine's Day video that warns women about the "dangers" of their boyfriends' burgeoning veganism, may have crossed a line. Read more...

EDITOR'S COMMENT: This latest ad from PETA is offensive, in my opinion. I am here to promote health and well being, and feel it would benefit PETA to stay in line with a program that promotes sane treatment of innocent creatures, and not slam a diet supporting that. Let PETA know how you feel about this bad example of media.

NC high court to hear case of $14K hospital bill | EMERY P. DALESIO | 02-13-2012 | Associated Press | "The cost was not reasonable since the difference in the charges for the medications was 24 times, 15 times and 11 times higher," Talford said in court documents. "The reasonable man could find these charges unreasonable." Read more...

Hungary's needy given money to burn | Feb 9, 2012 - AFP | Hungary's central bank, currently at the centre of a dispute between the country's government and the EU, has launched an unusual social programme to counter the effects of the current cold snap. It's handing out blocks of disused bank notes to the country's poorest citizens, so that they can be burned for fuel. Read more...

EDITOR'S COMMENT: What a concept! Giving the poor money to burn... Wow. Why didn't our country think about that? Maybe the Federal Reserve could have given impoverished in this country money to burn, instead of bailing out Wall Street!... Just an idea, ha ha...

Overeating may double odds of memory loss in elderly | Monica DyBuncio | February 13, 2012 | CBSNews | "We observed a dose-response pattern which simply means; the higher the amount of calories consumed each day, the higher the risk of MCI," study author Dr. Yonas E. Geda, associate professor of neurology and psychiatry at the Mayo Clinic, said in a written statement. "Cutting calories and eating foods that make up a healthy diet may be a simpler way to prevent memory loss as we age," he said. Read more...

Whitney Houston Died of Prescription Drug, Alcohol Cocktail: Reports | SHEILA MARIKAR and KEVIN DOLAK | 03-02-2012 | Good Morning America - ABC | Whitney Houston likely died from a combination of the drug Xanax and other prescription medication mixed with alcohol, TMZ reported today, citing family sources who were briefed by Los Angeles County Coroner officials. Read more...

As much as many of us love great music, let us never forget those that have lost homes, livelihoods, life, and sometimes everything their families have worked generations to achieve. When you feel grief from losing a loved one or an icon like Ms. Houston, please dedicate a moment to bless all creatures that are suffering right now...

It is true that Whitney most likely died from prescription drugs mixed with alcohol. This indicates extreme torment, mixing decades of peer pressure and people surrounding her that most likely never took into account that a body can only handle so many chemicals and junk, then ultimately gives out. Regardless, her voice is, well, the result of her gospel music background mixed with an emotion, a sincerity that is rare, and cannot be replaced: unforgettable... I choose to remember her qualities, not the problems. - Dennis Knicely, HealingNews.com

The voice floats confidently but quietly in the first few lines of Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You," the song for which the superstar vocalist, who died Saturday of undetermined causes at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, will always be remembered. Hear it rush out of the radio unexpectedly, and it has the power to transform your world. - Randall Roberts, Los Angeles Times Pop Music Critic

We will always love you, Whitney. You shared so much....

Dear Readers, I am speechless. Whitney Houston touched so many hearts with her amazing voice. We will always remember you. May you have eternal peace and joy now, sharing your wonderful Spirit with the Angelic Host...
Sincerely, Dennis Knicely, Editor / Publisher of Healing News
Thank you so much to Yahoo.com for this great link...

Makeup of rain forest may have been altered by farmers | Amina Khan, Los Angeles Times February 10, 2012 | Bantu farmers may have played a role in transforming the Central African rain forest into drier grasslands, French scientists say. Read more...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Previous article is where science speculates, when common sense indicates the truth: Cutting down a rain forest would definitely affect both weather and environment. A bigger question: Who funded this research and what are their goals, possibly developers and others responsible for destroying rain forests for their own money driven ventures? The biggest culprits here: Humans.

Cars and cannabis don't mix, study finds | Jeannine Stein, Los Angeles | February 12, 2012 | Sydney Morning Herald | In seven of the nine studies the risk of a crash went up when drivers had smoked marijuana a few hours before the accident. The other two studies found that the risk of having a collision while under the influence was lower than that for sober drivers. Read more...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Although previous article makes a good headline, the bottom line is "inconclusive". A bigger question might be: Was any alcohol or other drugs involved other than cannabis? Although smoking anything, cigarettes included can be dangerous, there would most definitely be different results from a "moderate smoker" [a puff or two] and someone smoking a large amount. Same would run true with someone sipping one beer over an hour or so vs. someone taking numerous shots of liquor within an hour.

Michelle Obama: 'Let's Move' continues to promote exercise | Stacy Teicher Khadaroo | The Christian Science Monitor | Feb 11, 2012 | “We’ve started to see some data showing there’s a leveling off of the obesity problem, that it’s not [continuing to] get worse,” says Larry Soler, CEO of Partnership for a Healthier America, a nonprofit working with the private sector and Obama to tackle childhood obesity. “It’s going to take a generation to ultimately solve the problem, but we’ve had a great start.” Read more...

4.5 million Americans over 50 have artificial knees: What's behind high rates? | (CBS/AP) Doctors think two trends have contributed to the big increase: the nation's obesity epidemic and amateur athletes who don't adjust workouts to spare aging or even injured joints.

Trans-fat blood levels plummet after FDA food-labeling regulation | David Brown | February 8, 2012 | Washington Post | Trans fats, which are used for deep-frying and as an ingredient in baked goods and spreads, increase the risk of heart disease.

Meat trade emissions equal to half of all Britain's cars | ROGER DOBSON | 05 FEBRUARY 2012 | independent UK | They estimate that the combined greenhouse gas emissions from the foods we eat in the UK are the equivalent of 167 million tons of carbon dioxide, and switching to vegetarian diets could cut this by between 22 and 26 per cent.

Addicts’ Vulnerability to Drugs Linked to Family Ties in Study Q | Elizabeth Lopatto - Feb 2, 2012 | BLOOMBERG | The brains of addicts and their healthy siblings are different than those of unrelated, healthy volunteers, a study has found, suggesting vulnerability to drug dependency may be partly inherited. Read more...

EDITOR'S COMMENT: There are numerous addictions in addition to drugs. A prime example would be someone who does not drink much alcohol during weekdays, yet going out and binge drinking once a week, to simply get loaded. This "habit" can be extremely dangerous especially when one blacks out. Someone using marijuana on occassion might not have a big problem, yet someone smoking all day every day will exhibit symptoms of extreme addiction.

"Freedom of choice" is an ideal, yet how we compete with addictive extremism is a major issue. When we have a medical profession that can prescribe drugs more dangerous than heroin or cocaine, actually resulting in severe addiction, we have a huge problem. This is MUCH worse than simply decriminalizing marijuana that has been an effective "pain killer", giving one an alternative to the dangerous pharmaceuticals.

DEA suspends Cardinal Health's Lakeland facility's license | Donna Leinwand Leger, USA TODAY | 02-03-2012 | The administrative action comes as the DEA is cracking down on pill mills, rogue doctors and shady pharmacies that divert the highly addictive pills, such as oxycodone, to drug dealers.

How Tea (Any Kind!) Keeps You Healthy | 02-03-2012 | FITNESS Magazine | Healthy Living | The inside scoop from researchers: Tea contains powerful antioxidants called flavonoids that might make a huge difference in your health. "A cup of tea contains the same amount of flavonoids -- or more -- as a serving of many fruits and vegetables," says Jeffrey Blumberg, PhD, professor of nutrition at Tufts University, in Boston. White, green, and black tea come from the same plant, but the leaves are processed differently. The result is three distinct colors and tastes that offer a host of health benefits. Read more...

How Plants Helped Make the Earth Unique | Wynne Parry, LiveScience Senior | 01 February 2012 | This is further evidence that the Earth has been molded by more than physical processes, write the editors of journal Nature Geoscience in an editorial accompanying two new studies. The findings help explain why Earth is probably unique in the universe: because it co-evolved with the life that inhabits it. Read more...

EDITOR'S COMMENT: Once again, big money trumps common sense. GMO crops have never been properly tested to even know long term effects. This is a macabre science, developing crops to withstand poisons capable of killing other plants / animals [except GMO crops], so companies like Monsanto can continue in their quest to totally control seeds for food. Can we stop them, or is money controlling Government legislators' decisions simply too much to counter? It's time for action.

I did further research on this article, and Whole Foods Market claim they in no way support or condone Monsanto. WFM intentionally test and research their products to make sure GMO is not slipped into their foods.

Mind-boggling! Science creates computer that can decode your thoughts and put them into words | TAMARA COHEN | 1st February 2012 | Daily Mail UK | They say it could offer a lifeline to those whose speech has been affected by stroke or degenerative disease, but many will be concerned about the implications of a technique that can eavesdrop on thoughts and reproduce them. Read more...

EDITOR'S COMMENT: Implications with electronic brain reading sounds like a macabre science, and does carry possible adverse consequences. Like weaponry and military, when used properly this technology "might" have benefit, yet still appears extremely invasive, with potential challenges outweighing benefits.
