Mother Nature’s thirst-quenching sports drink comes from twigs and leaves: Rooibos
September 9, 2011 by
Filed under Organic Foods
(NaturalNews) Do you know anyone still drinking Gatorade or other popular sports drinks? If so, you may want to turn them on to Rooibos , an amazing thirst quencher (and a potent source of health protective flavonoids) made by Mother Nature. Gatorade, Powerade and other sports drinks are made with liquid sugars (glucose and fructose), artificial coloring chemicals (like red #40), citric acid and emulsifiers such as brominated vegetable oil . Anyone who knows anything about nutrition quickly realizes these are not healthful, wholesome ingredients. I’ve also released a popular video about Vitamin Water , exposing the truth that even Coca-Cola’s own attorneys admit the drink isn’t a “healthy” beverage: www.FoodInvestigations.com Rooibos , on the other hand, is made by Mother Nature. It’s the powdered extract of the Aspalatus linearis plant which grows prolifically in South Africa. Remarkably, it’s a completely caffeine-free plant that nevertheless tastes like an amazing tea beverage or even a sports drink , simply by adding it to water and mixing in your favorite sweetener such as stevia. Rooibos, by the way, synergizes extremely well with stevia. Even if you don’t normally like stevia, when mixed with Rooibos the flavor of the combination suddenly makes stevia far more delicious, and I’ve had many people rave about this simple combination (rooibos + water + stevia). Loaded with health-supportive phytonutrients In addition to the fact that Rooibos contains no caffeine, it’s loaded with phytonutrients such as Aspalathin, Quercetin and Luteolin. It also contains Orientin, Isoorientin, Vitexin, Isovitexin, Chrysoeriol, Catechin, Isoqurecetin, Hyperoside and Rutin. (You can look these up to see their supportive health benefits.) No doubt some combination of these plant-based nutrients (none of which are found in Gatorade or Powerade, by the way) explains why Rooibos is such a powerful thirst quencher. I drank it almost every day throughout the Texas drought we’ve had over the past few months, and I discovered this drink keeps you hydrated in a way that plain water simply doesn’t. No wonder so many professional football teams and sports enthusiasts are also discovering Rooibos to be a powerful, performance-enhancing sports drink. Click here to see Rooibos on sale at the NaturalNews Store Getting the good stuff Watch out for Rooibos that’s cut with fillers such as maltodextrin or lecithin. Ideally, you want to get pure Rooibos with no fillers, additives or sweeteners of any kind. Another huge issue of concern is radiation — much of the Rooibos brought into the United States is irradiated by the FDA . So getting a supply that isn’t irradiated is very, very tricky — it has even been challenging for our own supplier who recently had to reject a large batch because he tested it and found evidence that it had been irradiated. So he had to order the same batch over again, which fortunately arrived in a non-irradiated state. (Most companies don’t even bother to check if their ingredient are irradiated, by the way. Only the most quality-conscious companies even pay attention to this.) No caffeine, no chemicals Rooibos powdered extract is made from the leaves and twigs of the Rooibos plant, which is grown entirely without pesticides or synthetic chemicals of any kind. It only takes a tiny amount of Rooibos powder mixed with water to make a deep red “tea-like” beverage that quenches thirst like nothing else. You can also mix it with any kind of milk (almond milk, cow’s milk, rice milk, etc.), add a touch of sweetener, and you’ve got a delicious milk tea beverage that’s super smooth. This is a rare, exquisite herbal extract with a unique nutritional profile that just isn’t found in any other herb or superfood. Because its potent flavonoids are so important to protect, it’s packed in Miron Swiss Violet Glass which protects it from UV light. Absolutely no chemicals are used to create this extract: No solvents, nothing. In addition, nothing is added to this product. There are no fillers. It is 100% Rooibos powdered extract and nothing else, period. Our supplier of this extraordinary tea is ImmunoLogic (www.Immunologic.net), and you can watch an introductory video about the owner, Clive Buirski, at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wth4M8S6PsM Right now, we have a very limited supply of Rooibos Powdered Extract in our store, and we’ve discounted it to try to bring you the best price possible.

Breaking news: Multi-agency armed raid hits Rawesome Foods, Healthy Family Farms for selling raw milk and cheese
August 3, 2011 by Health Blogger
Filed under Organic Foods
(NaturalNews) This is a NaturalNews exclusive breaking new report. Please credit NaturalNews.com. A multi-agency SWAT-style armed raid was conducted this morning by helmet-wearing, gun-carrying enforcement agents from the LA County Sheriff’s Office, the FDA, the Dept. of Agriculture and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control). Rawesome Foods, a private buying club offering wholesome, natural raw milk and raw cheese products (among other wholesome foods) is founded by James Stewart, a pioneer in bringing wholesome raw foods directly to consumers through a buying club. James was followed from his private residence by law enforcement, and when he entered his store, the raid was launched. Law enforcement demanded that all customers (members) of the store vacate the premises, then they demanded to know how much cash James had at the store. When James explained the amount of cash he had at the store — which is used to purchase product for selling there — agents demanded to know why he had such an amount of cash and where it came from. James was handcuffed, was NEVER read his rights and was stuffed into an UNMARKED car. While agents said they would leave behind a warrant, no one has yet had any opportunity to even see if such a warrant exists or if it is a complete warrant. Note to NaturalNews readers: This was an ILLEGAL raid being conducted mob-style by government thugs who respect no law and no rights. This is an all-out war by the government against people who try to promote healthy raw and living foods. James is now being held at the Pacific division police department at Centinela and Culver in Los Angeles. He is being held at $123,000 bail with no possibility of using bail bonds. Law enforcement has demanded that if he comes up with the money to cover bail, he must disclose to them all the sources of that money. (This is an illegal demand!) Law enforcement is now destroying all the Rawesome Foods inventory by pouring the raw milk down the drain and collecting the raw cheese for destruction. Massive public protests are needed to teach these criminal law enforcement agencies that they cannot illegally arrest and persecute individuals merely for buying and selling raw milk and cheese. We are organizing a public protest day in cooperation with James. Please watch NaturalNews for an announcement of that. Story is developing… Right now, James needs help raising money with his legal defense needs . Our non-profit Consumer Wellness Center is currently serving as the collection point for donations. You may donate right now at www.ConsumerWellness.org (100% of the donations go directly to James’ legal defense needs, the Consumer Wellness Center keeps nothing). See this video of James Stewart talking about his farm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foKg-oShJP0 Here’s background on Healthy Family Farms which was also targeted in the raid: Healthy Family Farms in Santa Paula, California: “Healthy Family Farms is a sustainable, pasture-based farming operation. We raise all our livestock on pasture. We raise all of our animals from birth. We do not feed any of our animals soy, choosing instead to feed animals as they are designed to be fed. This results in healthy, sturdy animals needing no hormones, antibiotics, or other artificial “enhancements.” We harvest our animals humanely by hand before they are delivered to the farmers markets. We never freeze our products. In addition to farmer’s markets sales, we have an active CSA, which offers discounts to our valued members.” Watch NaturalNews.com for more breaking news on this story . We are fed up with these illegal mob-style raids against the raw foods community! It is time to protest and fight back against tyranny!
Philosophical Musings on the Juxtaposition of the Words "Commercial" and "Food"
June 18, 2011 by
Filed under Organic Foods
(NaturalNews) So, how did it happen? How did we all get complacent enough to accept the phrase “commercially produced food” without even blinking an eye? How did Uncle Sam, in WWII public service announcements, go from advising the US public “to garden” to later telling the post-911 US public “to shop”. And, not just to shop, but to shop for food. Food is the hub of the wheel. It’s the one thing that we all have in common: we all have to eat. And, we are what we eat. Recent statistics regarding the number of people with early onset cancer, degenerative disease, diabetes and dementia all point to a decline in the quality of our food. “Commercial” anything is about profit, not quality. So, when food becomes a profit motive, a lot goes out the door. Some of the things that fly out the door are health, money (yours, not theirs), environment and energy. Big Agriculture is unconcerned about the environmental carnage left behind by pesticides, GMO crops, soil depletion or erosion.Big Agriculture is unconcerned about how much fuel it takes to run those mega-machines to produce, harvest and transport crops. And, Big Agriculture doesn’t care how much food costs you and your family. They care about directing profits to already rich corporate interests. Most of the food in your supermarket travels thousands of miles in trucks or planes to get from the farm to the shelves. Think about how much fuel us used to transport those items. What kind of impact does that have on the environment? When you purchase food at the store, you’re also paying for the cost of shipping, packaging and storing that food. What kind of impact does that have on your wallet? While organic foods have grown in popularity, many commercially available foods are still sprayed with pesticides, herbicides and preservative formulas to prevent disease and spoilage. The USDA currently allows “57 trace pesticides” in foods labeled organic. Are you scared (or angry) yet? Not only can these chemicals pose health risks to you, they also impact the environment through air and water pollution. The concept of “commercial food” really gets at the heart of the differential identified by Scott Nearing. Nearing made a clear distinction between “use production” and “market production”. Use production is when you produce something (in this case, food) for your own household’s use. Market production, obviously, is producing for sale on the open market. Nearing argued, and I agree, the “use production” was, in the Big Picture, the most efficient and effective economic model. By growing and preserving your own food, for example, you’ll save money. Food grown from seed costs a lot less than store-bought. By preserving your harvest you can reduce the amount of food you throw away due to spoilage. There is no packaging. There are no middle managers. In addition, you can save the seeds from the fruits of your plants and replant them next year. By following these practices you could feed yourself indefinitely. Food that you grow yourself just tastes better. Food in markets, even health food stores, is often in cold storage for up to a month before being sold. Fresh food is more nutritious and has better flavor than the stuff that comes from the store. I grow my own food. I “get my groceries off the ground”. When I walk through my garden and cut fresh greens for salad–and eat them no more than an hour later–the benefits of Nearing’s “use economy” are evident. Nothing, absolutely nothing, that I can buy at a market (even a Farmer’s Market) comes close to the level of quality that I can produce right outside my window. It’s my vision that more and more people will wave goodbye to “commercial food” and replace it with a “use economy” model. If Uncle Sam won’t tell us to GARDEN anymore, we’ll just do it ourselves!
At-cost special on certified organic Chia seeds offered by the NaturalNews Store – 60% off retail
June 2, 2011 by Health Blogger
Filed under Organic Foods
(NaturalNews) As a way of saying thank you to NaturalNews readers, we have arranged for a one-time ridiculous discount on certified organic chia seeds that allows you to get them AT OUR COST. Yes, we don’t profit a dime on this , and the savings for you are incredible. Why are we doing this when it makes us zip? Keep reading… A one-pound bag of certified organic chia seeds normally retails for $8.95 a pound. At times, you can find them on sale for more like $7 a pound. But for just the next few days, the NaturalNews Store is bringing you certified organic chia seeds at the uber-ridiculous price of $3.51 a pound! (In a 3-pound pack.) OVER 60% OFF the typical retail price This is not a typo, and these are not reject chia seeds or anything like that. These are the very same premium certified organic chia seeds being sold day to day at health food stores and online retailers like Amazon.com. This offer is simply a 100% pass-through at-cost offer to say THANK YOU for all your business and support by giving you a way to acquire one of our favorite all-time superfoods at a RIDICULOUS price discount. There is a quantity limit, however. We ask that each customer limit their purchase to just four of these (12 pounds total) . If you order more than 12 pounds, you’ll be contacted by our store to arrange for additional shipping charges. But if you order quantity of four or less (that’s 12 pounds or less), just pay the standard shipping charges. You will NEVER find this price offered at any retailer anywhere in the world. Not online, not in a store, nowhere. I actually dare you to shop around and see if you can come close to this price anywhere. It’s impossible. And why? Because no one else sells stuff at a break-even price! And normally we don’t either, because we have to make a little bit to pay the salaries, warehouse lease, electricity and so on. But we’ve done well enough from your previous orders to pay all that, and no with this offer we just want to thank you for your support by practically giving away these chia seeds AT OUR COST. Take advantage of this right now at the NaturalNews Store: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100370 Fighting food inflation with a near-giveaway price Why are we doing this? I know some people just can’t believe that a business would sell something and make nothing on it. Lots of skeptics out there because most people are selfish, and they don’t understand other people engaging in non-selfish acts. So they miss out on the best price you’ll ever see on organic chia seeds. But the motivation behind this really is simple: WE LOVE YOU and your support of our mission, and we get a lot of joy from bringing you these incredible deals that save you money in a time when food prices seem to be rising by the week. I was on the phone with Matt Monarch who runs our store, and I just said straight out, “Hey Matt, what can we offer people that’s such a screaming good deal that people will thank us big time for doing it?” And Matt replied and said if we have a large enough response, he could get in a ton of chia seeds (actually several tons, quite literally) and we could just blow ‘em out at our cost and make literally zero profit. I said YES! Let’s do it. I’ll spread the word, people will save huge dollars, and we’ll help get this amazing superfood into the hands of yet more people who can benefit from the omega-3s that chia seeds naturally contain. So we set it up, and now you’re seeing it. This probably won’t be repeated — and you’ll never see organic chia seeds at this price again — so if you want some, take advantage of this right now . Here’s the link to our store: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100370 Orders are being filled right now with no wait time. Most orders go out the next business day, and we have literally thousands of pounds of these organic chia seeds on hand to ship out right now. YES, you can freeze chia seeds and use them all year long. They freeze extremely well, and you can just pull them right out of the freezer and drop them into a smoothie, a bowl of granola, a Saturday morning pancake mix or whatever you want to use them for. They’re rich in omega-3s and magnesium, and they’re one of my staple superfoods. I eat chia seeds EVERY day. In fact, I’m ordering a huge amount of these for myself (and paying the extra shipping) because even I know I won’t ever be able to find a better price on these again. So take advantage of this, and once again thank you for supporting us so much over the last few months. It is your support that has given us the financial buffer to be able to offer this at-cost special to you. Enjoy your certified organic chia seeds!
Long-term storable superfoods launched by preparedness company StorableOrganics.com
May 9, 2011 by Health Blogger
Filed under Organic Foods
(NaturalNews) Today we’re announcing the launch of Storable Organics (www.StorableOrganics.com), the world’s first company offering a full line of preparedness superfoods and organic foods packed in steel cans for long-term shelf life. We have inventory right now, and we’re shipping 17 products in these cans, including spirulina, chlorella, chia seeds, quinoa, rice bran and much more. Click here to see the full list in our store or see more details on our website at www.StorableOrganics.com Most conventional storable foods are made with pesticides or GMOs Why do we need Storable Organics? It’s simple: Have you ever tried to find organic storable food ? Or storable superfoods? Until now, they virtually did not exist. Nearly all storable foods available today (with a few exceptions) are conventionally grown foods farmed with chemical pesticides and GMOs. Many of the “camping” foods you’ll find at retail stores are made with textured vegetable protein , GMO soy and food additive chemicals such as yeast extract (a form of hidden MSG). That’s nasty stuff. In an emergency, the last thing I want to do is start poisoning my body with pesticide residues, GMOs and chemical food additives. So six months ago, I approached several of the top preparedness food companies in the industry and asked if they wanted to partner with NaturalNews to launch a line of organic, storable superfoods. They replied that they were all too busy filling orders to even think about adding a line of storable organics! (Seriously, they all blew us off because their business was already at their maximum capacity, it seems…) That’s when I knew the only way to make this project a reality would be to launch it ourselves . No BPA in your food! So we developed a special system for packing and shipping #10 steel cans. Our system is unique because your food never touches the BPA enamel in the cans . You see, there is no such thing as a BPA-free lined can in the food industry today. All lined food cans contain BPA , without exception. So the solution for avoiding the BPA is to pack the food inside a BPA-free bag inside the can, so that the bag protects the food from the can enamel. That’s what we do at Storable Organics – we pack food into BPA-free bags with moisture absorbers for long-term shelf life. These bags are placed into a #10 steel can containing an inner enamel that blocks moisture and prevents oxidation of the steel. This can is then sealed with an industrial seamer. At no point does the can enamel ever come into contact with your food. From there, the cans are placed in a rugged, double-walled cardboard case with extra double-walled dividers between the cans, then shipped to you. Each can ships with a plastic lid, and even after you open the can and use the product, you have a high-quality BPA-free bag that you can use for any purpose in the future. The result is the world’s first line of storable foods that use organic, non-GMO, pesticide free raw materials and superfoods. This is unique in the industry and it’s a solution that NaturalNews readers have been asking for over the last two years. No one else is offering this! We also have an affiliate program (see below) so that you can offer this solution to your own readers and earn an affiliate percentage. Now you can stock up on food preparedness without buying chemicals Thanks to StorableOrganics, you can now stock up on preparedness foods without buying chemicals , food additives, GMOs or foods containing pesticides. And the best part? Our bulk pricing is so good that it turns out these steel cans are a better value than buying the superfoods in smaller quantities . In other words, ounce for ounce, these products are a better value for your dollar (on all except the Boku Superfood in the steel cans, which is the exact same price per ounce as buying it regularly). So this is actually a bulk pricing value on storable superfoods that can last from 2 – 10 years on your shelf! (Depending on the item…) And YES, we even have Boku Superfood packed in steel cans! How’s that for long-term storable superfoods in a format that can’t be beat! The next time an earthquake strikes, while your friends are living (dying?) on toaster pastries and toxic canned soups, you can whip out a giant can of Boku Superfood and actually keep people alive with good nutrition!
Steel cans are mouse-proof and critter proof #10 steel cans, by the way, are slightly larger than a typical large coffee can. Why do you need steel? Because mice can easily eat through plastic, Mylar and even hard plastic buckets! I’ve been active in food storage and preparedness for nearly fifteen years now, and in those years, I’ve seen ants eat right through plastic bags, and I’ve seen mice eat through 5-gallon plastic pails! (When mice are hungry, they can eat through even thick plastic…) I have never seen any animal eat through a steel can. That’s why steel cans are the very best method for long-term storable foods. They’re also just the right size for portability. Five-gallon pails are heavy when filled with grains (they can weigh over sixty pounds!), but #10 cans are smaller, more portable and completely resistant to mice. They’re also completely shatter resistant (unlike glass) and the weight / size ratio makes them perfect for portable food supplies, too. Click here to see the full list of what’s available in our store. Right now we have Himalayan pink crystal salt , palm sugar, quinoa, spelt, brown rice, Boku Super Protein, Spirulina, Whole Wheat Fettuccine and a whole lot more. They’re available for immediate shipping from our warehouse. What will keep you alive in an actual emergency? Do you remember the Katrina aftermath in New Orleans? People were living (and dying) on junk food snack chips, candy bars and convenience store processed foods. To many people, “storable” foods means canned soups (loaded with MSG and processed salt) and camping foods (often made with MSG and GMO soy byproducts). I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to survive the disaster only to be killed by the food! Emergencies create huge stress in the body, and that stress demands high-density nutrition to keep your body functioning at a higher level. If you’re in an actual emergency and you aren’t getting high-density superfoods, you’re losing ground. Stress destroys your immune function , while nutrition can help support a healthy immune response! Emergency situations are precisely when you need more nutrition , not less. That’s why our storable chlorella, spirulina and chia seeds are three outstanding superfoods that can quite literally help keep you alive when other processed junk foods might actually fail you. By the way, I also recommend Living Fuel (www.LivingFuel.com) which offers their Living Fuel superfoods in large cans that are about the same size as the #10 cans. Living Fuel cans are steel, but they are made with a metal inner lining that offers far more shelf life than a typical off-the-shelf superfood product. I personally am stocking up with Living Fuel products plus a large assortment of Storable Organics superfoods (including the Boku Superfood in the cans). And because the prices on most of these are better than the usual pricing, I know that even if there’s no emergency, I’m still saving money by just eating these products as I normally would anyway! Affiliate program now available If you wish to promote these storable superfoods on your own website or email newsletter, we have an affiliate program that pays you 5% of all sales. That may not sound like much, because margins are pretty tight on most of these items, but when people order storable superfoods and organic foods, the order sizes tend to get larger because people are stocking up. So the affiliate program can really be worthwhile if you have a sizeable reach. Sign up for our affiliate program at: http://tnn.checkoutsolutions.net/index.php?req=newaccount&pid=1 Storable Organics available by the pallet If you’re interested in large-scale storable superfoods (hundreds of cans), we offer these products by the pallet , shipped via freight. Pricing is also slightly better due to the high volume, and you’ll save quite a bit on shipping. Contact us at reply@naturalnews.com or chat with our store representatives during normal business hours using the live chat box at http://store.naturalnews.com We are happy to quote you storable superfoods in quantities of hundreds or thousands of cans. (We currently have over 25,000 steel cans on hand and ready to be packed, sealed and shipped.) Turnaround time for pallets of storable foods runs from 5 – 15 business days, depending on your order. What’s missing from Storable Organics? We currently do not offer storable organic freeze-dried fruits or herbs, but we are working on adding that to the lineup soon. We’ll be expanding our line of storable superfoods each month! We also may put together a serious preparedness kit in a steel can that contains serious preparedness items and not the usual “toy compass”, fishing line and whistle you get in typical low-end survival kits. Instead, we’re looking at putting together a serious water filter, high-end compass, tactical LED flashlight with batteries, some tools, a quality knife, high-density superfood pouches and a few other serious items that you can just toss in your car and go. Watch NaturalNews for that announcement later on. The bottom line is that we are only interested in offering you quality preparedness goods that really work for your nutrition, health and personal safety. We don’t deal in junk. We don’t sell GMO crap. We don’t offer foods with chemical pesticides or soy protein. We only offer stuff that will help keep you alive during hard times. (Of course, the thing that will really keep you alive is that noggin between your ears… if you use it properly, anyway…) Storable Organics is what I’m storing right now; it’s the stuff my family is buying; and it’s the stuff I’ll be opening and enjoying when the next big emergency strikes our world. While everybody else is living on Cheetos and Pop-Tarts, you can be chowing down on organic chlorella superfoods that will keep you healthy, alert and fully energized to handle whatever stresses are coming your way! Superfoods will help keep you alive , and StorableOrganics.com will help keep you stocked with those superfoods. Order now BEFORE the next crisis hits, because I can absolutely guarantee you that once the next earthquake, hurricane or tsunami strikes, we’ll be back-ordered for weeks. But today, right now, we’re shipping promptly! Check us out at www.StorableOrganics.com And thank you for your ongoing support.
Iodine supplement supplies wiped out by nuclear fallout fear – here are the foods that contain high levels of natural iodine
March 16, 2011 by
Filed under Minerals, Organic Foods, Supplements
(NaturalNews) It’s happening everywhere now: Potassium Iodide supplements are getting wiped out as people concerned about the possibility of radiation fallout are purchasing them for their own protection. Yesterday evening, we posted a story about an alternative source of iodine — Nascent Iodine — and now it has been completely sold out everywhere in North America, too. (Our store was sold out within minutes and now the product is back-ordered with 1,000 more bottles arriving on Monday and another 1,000 four days later.) The U.S. Surgeon General has even publicly supported the idea of buying potassium iodide as a “precaution” in case the radioactive fallout reaches the United States. In the midst of all this, some sellers are jacking up their prices to exploit the shortage for their own financial gain. One seller hiked his price from $49 / bottle to $499 / bottle on eBay. Another guy was asking $1500! The NaturalNews Store has been the lowest price on the ‘net for Nascent Iodine, and we kept our prices on sale through this entire iodine shortage because we always strive to deliver exceptional values to our customers (and we operate with ethics, too, meaning we don’t price gouge just because people are desperate — shame on all the pricks and shysters who are trying to rip people off in this moment of crisis! They remind me of the price gouging practices of the pharmaceutical industry…). Remarkably, our Nascent Iodine still sells for just $23 even though the exact same product costs at least 50% more elsewhere (http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=100370&products_id=1004147). (The manufacturer will only allow us to run this low price for another week or so, after which we will be forced to raise it back to “regular” pricing, which is just under $36 a bottle. We often negotiate incredible discount deals for NaturalNews readers, but the always have a time limit window of opportunity…) Not surprisingly, at this price we sold out very, very quickly. And now people are asking what else they can consume to increase their intake of natural iodine. Fortunately, there are several key foods that are very high in iodine — and no, table salt isn’t one of them. To boost your levels of iodine from table salt, you’d practically have to poison yourself with an excess of salt. The best forms of natural iodine, it turns out, are sea vegetables . And YES, sea vegetables can provide sufficient levels of iodine to help prevent radiation poisoning of your glandular system. One quarter of a teaspoon of organic kelp granules (see below), for example, provides 3mg of iodine (milligrams, not micrograms). Remember, 1 mg = 1,000 mcg. And the recommended daily intake of iodine is just 150 mcg (micrograms). Dr. David Brownstein recommends a daily intake that is significantly higher — as much as 6 – 12mg per day, which you can reasonably achieve from eating a planned quantity of sea vegetables. Of course, an iodine supplement such as Nascent Iodine (http://www.naturalnews.com/031708_iodine_radiation.html) is going to provide a far larger serving of iodine, which it’s why it’s worth ordering some and having them on hand for the future. Sea vegetables with natural iodine: Kelp, Nori, Kombu and Sea Spaghetti One of the very best natural sources of iodine is Kelp . The NaturalNews Store consistently carries an inventory of Organic Kelp Granules that provide 3mg (yes, milligrams, not micrograms) of iodine in just a 1/4 teaspoon serving. You can find that product at this link: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=1001062 We are probably already sold out by the time you read this, but we have 1,000 more bottles arriving on Monday, so if you order now, you can most likely receive them within 10 – 14 working days. You can also find this same product sold at health food stores and online nutritional retailers. It will be the next iodine source that’s sold out as soon as enough people realize that kelp is an abundant source of natural iodine. This product is normally used as a kind of natural salt shaker, to add a salty taste to soups, salads or just about any meal, by the way. It’s a regular superfood source that’s also very high in other trace minerals. All seaweeds contain iodine in a natural state. One of the highest is kombu , which contains up to 2500 mcg (micrograms) per gram of kombu. You can find kombu seaweed at many local health food stores, too. Just soak it in water to reconstitute it, then you can cook it into foods, eat it on a salad, or whatever you want. Cooking does not destroy iodine , so don’t be afraid to heat it if you want to. Iodine is a trace mineral, and no minerals are destroyed through high-heat cooking (just vitamins, proteins and other phytonutrients). Nori sheets (the seaweed sheets used to make sushi) are also a source of iodine, although they only contain about 16mcg per gram. So they’re not nearly as iodine rich as kombu. But nori is easy to find and delicious to eat. Make some nori wraps! Nori is often very easy to find at health food stores, and we also sell it at a special sale price at the NaturalNews Store: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=1001001 Can you overdose on iodine from nori sheets? It’s almost impossible to do so. You’d have to eat hundreds of nori sheets at one setting to get that much iodine. And given that most people are chronically deficient in iodine, a person can safely consume up to 50 mg of iodine per day to restore sufficient levels in the body, according to Dr. David Brownstein (yes, 50 milligrams, not micrograms). The U.S. government’s “official” numbers on iodine are, just like all the other nutrients, kept artificially low (like with vitamin D) in order to encourage people to actually stay deficient in essential nutrients (http://www.naturalnews.com/030598_vitamin_D_Institute_of_Medicine.html). Sea Spaghetti As luck would have it, we just launched a new seaweed-based superfood product at the NaturalNews Store called Sea Spaghetti . It’s made entirely from a natural brown seaweed called himanthalia elongata . It’s made in France, and we just got it into our store yesterday. It’s a natural source for many trace minerals, including iodine. Although it’s not a huge amount, each 5-gram portion (a very small amount) of sea spaghetti delivers 500 micrograms of iodine (333% of daily value). This is not enough to correct a severe iodine deficiency, but every little bit helps, and even seemingly small portions of this food can start to add up to several milligrams of iodine. It can truly help supply a steady source of iodine to meet your body’s nutritional needs. This is also a fantastic product for completely removing grains and pastas from your diet. You can just make your favorite spaghetti sauces using these sea noodles instead! It contains just 12 calories per serving! (Yes, 12.) Pick some up at: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=100148_100216_100283&products_id=1004150 The nutrition facts on this product are: Serving size 5 g Servings per bag 10 Calories per serving 12 Protein 1.5% DV Fat 0.4% DV Fiber 6% DV Sodium 7% DV Carbs 0.5% DV Vitamin C 7% DV Potassium 13% DV Magnesium 50% DV Calcium 3% DV Iodine 333% DV DV = Daily Value Don’t get ripped off on radiation pills There’s panic in the market right now. People are desperate to find a source of iodine. But that panic is unjustified. Most people simply don’t know you can get plenty of iodine from eating sea vegetables . There are also brown seaweed extracts available on the market today that have their own natural iodine. For years, I’ve been recommending Modifilan (http://www.modifilan.com), which is an amazing brown seaweed that’s naturally rich in iodine. This product also has powerful anti-cancer properties. I can say that because we don’t sell it. You can only get it through Modifilan.com, and we have no financial relationship whatsoever with them. But you can also just go out and buy seaweed vegetables at your local health food store right now. Or get yourself a “seaweed salad.” Or go visit a local Japanese restaurant and order something with seaweed in it. Lots of seaweed. It’s all good for you for lots of reasons beyond the iodine. Do not get ripped off paying $600 for radiation pills! It disgusts me that some people are profiteering off this crisis by jacking up their prices to insane levels. I will have no part of that. That’s why we kept our prices low and even on sale for the Nascent Iodine sold through our store: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=100151_100431&products_id=1004147 Oh, and by the way, we are donating $5,000 to the relief efforts in Japan in the next 24-48 hours. I hope to have time to post a story about that on NaturalNews. These are funds we acquired through the registrations for our “Financial Preparedness” event that runs this Sunday (which is also sold out). We are trying to do our best here to help people get prepared for what’s coming. We actually had our Nascent Iodine on sale before Japan’s nuclear disaster , but virtually no one bought any at that time. There’s a lesson here in all this: Get prepared in advance and don’t allow yourself to be caught without being ready for what’s coming: Financial collapse, natural disasters, social upheavals and a whole lot more. That’s why I publicly announced BEFORE all this happened that we would be focusing more on preparedness here on NaturalNews. Ten days before Japan’s nuclear disaster, we announced our first preparedness event: http://www.naturalnews.com/031548_financial_preparedness.html The second preparedness event is going to happen in April and will be announced shortly. Watch NaturalNews for updates, and subscribe to our free email newsletter to be kept in the loop on all these important developments: http://www.naturalnews.com/ReaderRegistration.html The world is changing rapidly. There is information you need to know that your government officials are not admitting. They don’t want to cause a panic, so they tell people everything is okay. The problem with that approach is that is lulls people into a false sense of security and discourages intelligent preparedness. I’d rather we be fully informed and aware of the realistic threats out there so that we can be fully prepared to handle the expected events that life seems to throw at us. Preparedness is wise. And right now, a whole lot of people around the world are suddenly wising up to the reality of what the alternative media has been talking about for years.

New raw products at the NaturalNews store: Royal Jelly and Cayenne Garlic raw hot sauces
February 10, 2011 by Health Blogger

(NaturalNews) We’ve just begun carrying two new exciting raw food products at the NaturalNews Store: A certified organic raw royal jelly powder , and a line of delicious raw hot sauces that have become an instant favorite. The certified organic raw royal jelly powder is from Immortality Alchemy and is perhaps the only certified organic raw royal jelly powder available today. The powder form means it’s three times more concentrated than royal jelly liquid , so a 5.5 ounce jar delivers as much nutrition as over one pound of royal jelly liquid. Royal jelly, of course, is one of the favorite superfoods of raw foodies and smoothie fans everywhere. This is the superfood that’s fed to “normal” honeybees to turn them into queen bees . It’s extremely dense with micronutrients, trace minerals, natural-form vitamins, amino acids and growth factors. We’ve got it on special in a 3-pack at the NaturalNews Store: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100370 Raw hot sauces! Are you a fan of Tobasco sauce? I’ve always loved Tobasco, but I never found a natural, raw alternative until now: Check out the Vital Heat raw hot sauces we’ve just added to the store. This is a living sauce product. It’s amazing on everything from quinoa and eggs (for the non-vegans out there) to raw guacamole ! I especially like the Cayenne Garlic variety. The ingredients are simple and, for the most part, organically grown: • Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic, Unpasteurized) • Jalapeno Peppers (Organically grown) • Cayenne Pepper, fresh whole (Organically Grown) • Cayenne Pepper, dried (non-irradiated) • Garlic (Organically grown) • Paprika (Organically Grown) • Celtic Sea Salt This has become my new personal favorite hot sauce. There’s also a Habanero Turmeric variety offered at our store as well, but I like the Cayenne Garlic flavor better. Both of these new living hot sauces are now available at the NaturalNews Store: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100370 Why your support really matters Thank you for your support!
