To press out the cactus fruit juice, Adams uses a Norwalk Juicer which features a powerful juice press. Because many people don’t have a juice press, the alternative way to accomplish the same thing is to blend the cactus fruits in a Vita-Mix blender , pour the slurry into nut milk bags , then squeeze the juice out of the nut milk bags.

You’ve often heard to eat all the different colors of fresh foods, right? Well, cactus fruit has some of the most powerful colors you’ve ever seen in nature, similar to the color intensity of something like spirulina or astaxanthin. The best part about harvesting cactus fruit is that it’s FREE, and it’s widely available throughout the world where the climate doesn’t get too cold in the winter. You’ll find cactus fruits in the South of the USA, Central America, South America, Australia, China, the Middle East and many other regions. Harvesting tip: Always leave some cactus fruit for the birds. This is one of their important food sources. When harvesting wild foods, never harvest the entire plant, obviously.

In ‘universal’ flu shot push, medical industry admits current flu shots are useless

(NaturalNews) The medical community is in the process of unveiling a “universal” influenza vaccine that it claims will prevent all flu strains with a single jab. The only problem is that, in the process, the system has inadvertently admitted that current flu shots are medically useless because they fail to target the correct flu strain in many cases, and they do not stimulate a natural flu-fighting immune response even when the strain is a match. A recent report by CBS 11 News in Dallas / Fort Worth explains that researchers from the University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas have identified a compound they say spurs the growth of a key protein known as REDD-1, which prevents cells from becoming infected. By injecting this compound into patients, REDD-1 will increase, say the researchers, and thus effectively prevent any strain of flu from taking hold. But what about current flu vaccines? Dr. Beatrice Fontoura, one of the head researchers involved with the new universal flu shot, explained to CBS 11 that it works differently than current flu shots because it “stimulates our own (immune) response which is already there and boost[s] it to fight an infection.” In other words, flu shots being sold today at pharmacies across the country do not actually promote natural immunity at all, which begs an important question. If current flu shots do not boost the immune response, then what, exactly, are they good for? Not much, according to a recent study published in The Lancet . Though the mainstream media widely reported that the study’s findings showed an effectiveness rate of 60 percent for flu shots, actual data in the study reveal that flu shots help about 1.5 out of every 100 adults. This, of course, translates into a measly 1.5 percent effectiveness rate (http://www.naturalnews.com/033998_influenza_vaccines_effectiveness.html). And yet, for years, medical professionals everywhere have been hounding the public to get their flu shots or else face horrific sickness and even death. And those who continue to avoid the flu shot based on concerns about its safety and effectiveness have been routinely dubbed “anti-science,” or worse. Ironically, the CBS 11 piece about the universal flu shot also contains an interview with a woman who admits that she stopped getting the flu shot because it made her sick every single year. Once she stopped getting flu shots, she stopped getting the flu . So why, again, do we even need a universal flu shot?

Nursing home scandal exposed: Lost generation of senior citizens being hospitalized for profit

(NaturalNews) A shocking new study conducted by the National Institute of Aging just revealed that one fifth of Medicare nursing home patients with Alzheimer’s or other dementia were sent to hospitals for “questionable reasons” in their final months, often enduring tube feeding and intensive care that prolonged their suffering. Here’s the kicker that makes these “questionable reasons” a lot less mysterious: Medicare pays THREE TIMES the normal daily rate for nursing homes to take patients back after a brief hospitalization. Nursing homes often claim hospital care is necessary when a frail elderly patient suffers from swallowing problems, pneumonia or other infections, but researchers of the new study behind this outrageous report have long suspected the TRUE motive behind these transfers is money, plain and simple . This “lost generation” of senior citizens, in other words, are being sent to hospitals to suffer needlessly FOR PROFIT. Nursing homes exposed as Medicare parasites The criminals running these nursing homes are transferring helpless, undeserving elderly folk into hospital settings where their suffering is perpetuated. Many of these poor senior citizens are then unable to pass away in peace because of their prolonged treatments in these hospitals. This simply is because money-grubbing torturers are desperate for extra cash flow from Medicare. Researchers found that elderly patients who were “questionably” transferred (read: dishonestly transferred) were more likely to have a feeding tube inserted, to spend time in intensive care in the last month of life, to end up with a severe bedsore or to be enrolled in hospice late (three days or less before they died). The researchers from the National Institute of Aging used Medicare records from 2000 through 2007 to identify what would qualify as “burdensome” and unnecessary transitions of care: uprooting sick elderly patients in the last three days of life, carting them to hospitals multiple times in the last three months of life or moving them in such a way that they landed in a new nursing home afterward. Disgustingly enough, these hospital transfers were also more common with black and Hispanic elderly patients. This means nursing homes are not only selfishly hospitalizing elderly patients that are terminally ill for financial gain, they’re trying to get rid of them for racist reasons as well! The results of this new study are especially significant and eye-opening because more than 1.6 million Americans live in nursing homes . That’s right — that means approximately 320,000 helpless elderly people who are incapable of fending for themselves or defending themselves are being wrongfully hospitalized by nursing homes for profit . This is an absolute embarrassment to humanity! Among the nearly 475,000 elderly patients studied, 19 percent were moved to hospitals for “questionable reasons.” That’s a HUGE percentage of senior citizens being victimized for profit! Although rates of these transfers vary from state to state, in one example from McAllen, Texas, 26 percent of study participants had multiple hospitalizations for urinary infections, pneumonia or dehydration — conditions that can ALL usually be treated effectively in a nursing home. In other words, the huge amount of terminally ill senior citizens that make up this “Lost Generation” are silently suffering at the hands of America’s corrupt healthcare system. The Lost Generation is being sucked into the Matrix. In the movie people were put into tubes and turned into human batteries and in this case, these defenseless elderly patients are being turned into human cash machines. There are no excuses for this repulsive, outrageous behavior Nursing homes have absolutely no room to sugarcoat this or claim the fear of legal liability if these poor senior citizens are not hospitalized at the drop of a hat. Why? Because people with advanced dementia ALREADY have a terminal condition. Most of these elderly patients are already in the process of dying in nursing homes. This is a population of very ill elderly patients that are unable to recognize their relatives and are bed-ridden. It’s not uncommon for them to develop swallowing problems. These patients thrive so much more when they are able to stay in a nursing home, a comfortable environment where caregivers and surroundings are familiar. So how on earth could they benefit from being taken to a hospital where they will suffer even more and have a tube shoved down their throat? According to these nursing homes, the well-being of these elderly people does not matter. The only thing these money-hungry monsters care about is a fatter paycheck. The hardships and strains of hospitalizations on senior citizens very obviously outweigh the possible benefits. Nursing homes should easily be able to manage the care of those with advanced dementia without the unwarranted stress of frequent hospitalizations. Yet, this violation of human rights continues, stripping senior citizens of their dignity and comfort as well as putting unnecessary strain on their families. Nursing homes clearly are not exempt from the criminality of the health care industry Medicaid pays on average $175 per day (depending on the state) for long-term care, but Medicare will pay three times that amount for what is deemed “skilled nursing care” after a patient returns from three days or more in a hospital. This extra financial cushion puts flashing dollar signs in the eyes of these predatory monsters that call themselves “nursing” homes. Instead of living up to their title and NURSING the elderly patients that need their help the most, these homes merely look at them as opportunities to put more cash in the bank . Nursing homes are specifically equipped to handle the needs of senior citizens suffering from terminal conditions. Their purpose is to provide care and allow these elderly patients to rest in peace until it is their time to pass. But apparently the greedy incentive of these nursing homes to hospitalize terminally ill patients for their own profit is far greater than their desire to provide the care these patients desperately need and deserve. Certainly makes you wonder about how deep the corruption and criminality of America’s health care system runs, doesn’t it? This revealing truth about nursing homes is a complete outrage! These corrupt Medicare leaches need to be stopped before even more helpless elderly patients have to endure causeless suffering for the sake of profit.

Death blow to GMOs? California ballot initiative calls for mandatory labeling of all genetically engineered foods

(NaturalNews) In what is perhaps the most significant breaking news we’ve heard on the GMO front in a long time, an effort has just been announced in California that seeks to gather enough signatures to put an historical initiative on the ballot which would require the labeling of GMOs in foods. I interviewed Ronnie Cummins from the Organic Consumers Association (www.OrganicConsumers.org), who is a key leader in advocating mandatory GMO labeling. His organization is playing a significant role in helping to get this initiative on the ballot in California. This is the pathway to victory against GMOs! With this initiative on the ballot, we have a very achievable strategy to deal a death blow to GMOs and restore sanity and integrity to our seeds and food crops. Listen to the full interview with Ronnie Cummins on SoundCloud: http://snd.sc/qPBFJk Or click PLAY on the audio object here: Interview with Ronnie Cummins about GMO labeling ballot initiative in California by NaturalNews Highlights from the announcement for mandatory GMO labeling • This labeling initiative is effectively a “ban” on GMOs, because most consumers simply won’t buy genetically engineered ingredients once they know they are present in conventional foods. • GMOs are only continuing to be grown and sold today because consumers have been prevented from knowing about the GMO ingredients in their foods. • 75% of all non-organic processed foods in grocery stores today contain genetically engineered ingredients. • 90% – 95% of Americans want to know which foods contain GMOs. • The GMO industry is already gearing up to fight this ballot initiative and plans to spread lies about GMOs such as “GMOs are necessary to feed the world” or “genetically engineered crops are perfectly safe!” (The quack scientists who push GMOs are no doubt gearing up to spread their lies and disinformation as part of the effort to confuse consumers and thereby protect their GMO profits.) • This initiative, if approved, would force health food retailers like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s to reformulate their own products and inventory to remove GMOs. ” There’s gonna be panic in the boardrooms of Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s ,” says Cummins. • 700,000 signatures are needed in California to put this initiative on the ballot. This will require an army of volunteers with clipboards to gather the signatures. See below for how you can contribute to this effort. • Go to www.OrganicConsumers.org and click on the “Millions Against Monsanto” campaign page to see where you can sign up to be a volunteer. • Significant funding providers for this campaign include: Dr. Bronner’s – $1 million, Nature’s Path – $500k, Mercola.com – $500k, Organic Consumers Association – $250k and others. More announcements and interviews coming from NaturalNews Tomorrow, NaturalNews is announcing our own donation and fundraising effort to support the effort to demand mandatory GMO labeling and ultimately remove GMOs from the food supply entirely.

Health Ranger speaks out against GMOs on steps of capitol building in Austin, Texas

(NaturalNews) As part of the Rally for Real Food event that demands GMO labeling of food, Mike Adams (the Health Ranger) delivered a rousing speech from the steps of the Austin, Texas capitol building. He joined a lineup of other hard-hitting GMO labeling advocates such as Neil Carman Ph.D., a program director of the Sierra Club , Judith McGeary of the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance (http://farmandranchfreedom.org), Ken Whitman, the president of Natural Vitality (www.NaturalVitality.com), and Doug Foreman, CEO of the Beanitos snack food company (www.Beanitos.com) which is taking a courageous stand against GMOs and is certified GMO-free by the Non-GMO Project (http://www.nongmoproject.org/2011/03/25/beanitos-bean-chips-%E2%80%93-say-%E2%80%9Cno%E2%80%9D-to-gmos/). NaturalNews has posted pictures from the event in a Facebook album, viewable at: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150308275451316.336720.35590531315 In this photo album, you’ll see pictures of children holding protest signs, crowds of people tuning in and learning about why GMO labeling is so important for our future, and pictures of the Health Ranger and other speakers talking to the public and the local press. Video footage from the event will be posted soon by several organizations, including NaturalNews and the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance. The purpose of the rally was to raise awareness about the dangers of GMOs and call for public unity in demanding GMO labeling in foods. “The public has a right to know what’s in the food they buy and feed their children,” said Mike Adams at the event. “This is a fundamental issue of our right to know what we’re eating. We the People demand that the foods we buy be accurately labeled so that can make an informed choice about avoiding genetically engineered ingredients.” The war against GMOs can be won, says Adams Mike Adams says victory against GMOs is within our reach, but a tremendous amount of work will be required for the People of America to overcome the corruption, the fraudulent science and the dishonest marketing and P.R. tactics of GMO seed producers. “We must make our voices louder than those of the lobbyists and the greed-driven corporations that exert heavy influence over government regulators and lawmakers,” Adams explained. “Through public protests, and the public shaming of those companies which continue to secretly use genetically engineered ingredients without labeling it on their products, we will overpower the lies and deceptions that characterize the GMO industry, and we will restore sanity and integrity to our seeds and crops.” Adams is a key member of a growing number of outspoken anti-GMO advocates — a group that includes Jeffrey Smith from the Institute of Responsible Technology, Ronnie Cummins from the Organic Consumers Association, Alex Jones from InfoWars.com and Dr. Joseph Mercola from Mercola.com (among many others). This rally was part of the kicking off of Non-GMO Month which continues through October, 2011. A great number of events, public awareness campaigns, protests and other activities are taking place this month. Stay tuned to NaturalNews.com for up-to-date coverage of the growing grassroots movement to eradicate GMOs from America and protect the future of agriculture for all humankind.

Texas city puts an end to water fluoridation

(NaturalNews) A city of roughly 100,000 people and home of Texas A&M University, College Station, Tex., is definitely no backwoods town. In fact, Money magazine named the city, which is located in a metropolitan area populated with more than 200,000 people, the 11th most educated city in the US. And now that city officials have decided to axe fluoride from the water supply, people everywhere are taking notice. One by one they are falling like dominoes — the cities across America that have decided to stop injecting a toxic, endocrine-disrupting halogen into their water supplies, that is. According to a recent announcement by WTAW NewsTalk 1620, six of the seven city council members in “Aggieland” voted to end artificial water fluoridation, a practice that has been taking place there for more than two decades. The decision will not only save College Station more than $40,000 a year, which is what it costs to purchase fluoride chemicals from industrial waste producers, but it also means that, officially, there will be no more cities in the Bryan – College Station metropolitan area that fluoridate their water supplies. College Station joins a host of other towns and cities across the US that are ending the practice as well, including Spring Hill, Tenn. (http://www.naturalnews.com/033479_fluoridation_Nashville.html), Pottstown, Penn. (http://www.naturalnews.com/033496_Philadelphia_water_fluoridation.html), and potentially even New York City (http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Environment/fluoridation_0908110833.html). With momentum building, now is the time for concerned citizens everywhere who live in fluoridated communities to bombard their city officials with information about the dangers of fluoride, and about why removing it is in the best interests of public health. Together, we can put an end to this archaic and barbaric practice. The Fluoride Action Network (FAN), a nonprofit group devoted to broadening public awareness about the toxicity of fluoride, has put together a helpful Top Ten Arguments Against Water Fluoridation guide that will be useful in persuading officials to reconsider water fluoridation. You can view that report here: http://www.fluoridealert.org/top-10-reasons-against-fluoride.aspx FAN has also put together a piece called Why we are Opposed to Water Fluoridation , which contains a wealth of useful information about fluoride, as well as signatures from over 3,000 health professionals who are in agreement about fluoride’s toxicity, and the need to immediately remove it from water supplies: http://www.fluoridealert.org/opposed-water-fluoridation.aspx Be sure to investigate the entire FAN website, which is loaded with useful fluoride information: http://www.fluoridealert.org/ Sources for this story include: http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/128651668.html http://www.wtaw.com/2011/09/22/college-station-council-votes-to-stop-adding-fluoride-to-water-supply/

Rick Perry’s presidential campaign imploding in wake of Gardasil scandal

(NaturalNews) Many media pundits have been working overtime to defend Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s detestable 2007 executive order mandating the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil for all young girls in the Lone Star State. Far from saving his campaign, however, such desperate efforts to spin one of the most disturbing political scandals in recent history will more than likely quicken the complete debacle of Mr. Perry’s presidential campaign. After Mr. Perry exposed himself as a blatant liar during last week’s gubernatorial debate in Orlando, Fla., claiming that a woman he met after issuing his executive order was partially responsible for spurring his decision to issue it, many in the media downplayed his answer as a “misstatement.” They then proceeded to provide excess media coverage of his sappy “err on the side of life” rhetorical spiel, which ultimately failed to vindicate the decision as was intended. The media then decided to go on the offensive against Rep. Michelle Bachmann, the candidate at the debate who brought up the issue of Gardasil in the first place, and who spoke the truth about the vaccine’s link to causing brain problems. Some pundits went so far as to claim that Bachmann’s statements about Gardasil’s dangers were “shameful” and “dangerous.” But what is truly shameful and dangerous is the media’s unscrupulous handling of the whole situation, as it continually denies the very real dangers associated with a vaccine that is being heavily pushed on the nation’s youth, and coddles a supposed presidential “frontrunner” who tried to force preteen girls in Texas to be jabbed with it. After all, Gardasil is linked to causing migraine headaches, neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, paralysis, Guillain Barre Syndrome, seizures, blindness, hearing loss, memory loss, and death (http://truthaboutgardasil.org). The good news is that an increasing number of Americans simply are not buying what the media and its political darlings are trying to sell them. The Great Texas Gardasil Scandal of 2007 is not going away any time soon, and as more and more people learn the truth about the vaccine and Mr. Perry’s role in promoting Gardasil, his campaign will self-destruct faster than the time it took the Texas State legislature to annul his executive order.

The truth about Gardasil, and why Rick Perry’s endorsement threatened the health of millions

(NaturalNews) Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s failed plot to force Merck and Co.’s Gardasil vaccine on millions of young girls in the Lone Star State has sparked renewed interest among Americans, as to what all the controversy is about concerning the vaccine (http://www.naturalnews.com/033571_Rick_Perry_HPV_vaccines.html). The mainstream media’s response to the incident has included a lot of whitewashing, as well as a full-scale damage control operation to reaffirm the supposed safety of Gardasil, which is alleged by Merck to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) and some forms of cervical cancer. But the cat is out of the bag as thousands of curious Americans, many for the first time, are learning about the very real dangers associated with the Gardasil vaccine. Not long after the vaccine was approved back in 2006, Gardasil’s deadly side effects quickly began to emerge. Reports came in about young girls experiencing seizures and developing chronic neurological problems, as well as other conditions, immediately after receiving one or more of the three-part Gardasil vaccination schedule. And according to Dr. Sherri Tenpenny from NewsWithView.com , there were already more than 1,200 adverse events from the vaccine logged in the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) less than a year after its release (http://www.newswithviews.com/Tenpenny/sherri14.htm). And because as little as one percent of adverse events are even reported in VAERS, Dr. Tenpenny says that as many as 126,000 instances of “acute health problems” may have resulted from young girls getting their Gardasil shots. A report was put together by a group of mothers whose daughters died or became seriously injured after receiving either Gardasil or Cervarix. Cervarix is another, but less popular, HPV vaccine produced by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). Major adverse events caused by the shots include the development of autoimmune disorders, paralysis, Guillain Barre Syndrome, seizures, migraine headaches, blindness, hearing loss, memory loss, and death (http://truthaboutgardasil.org/wp-content/themes/city-thunder/ppt/030610FDApresentation.pdf). So far in 2011 alone, there have been nearly 1,500 adverse events reported in association with Gardasil or Cervarix — and in 2010, there were more than 2,500 adverse events reported in association with the two vaccines (http://vaers.hhs.gov/data/data). To date, there have been more than 21,000 reported cases of girls being adversely injured by Gardasil or Cervarix, more than 3,100 serious injury reports, and more than 100 reported deaths (http://www.naturalnews.com/031502_Gardasil_documentary.html). Based on this information, you can clearly see why Gov. Perry’s 2007 executive order, and his continued defense of it, represents a significant threat to public health. If Gov. Perry’s executive order would have been preserved and upheld by the Texas state legislature, thousands of additional girls in Texas may have been seriously injured or killed as a result. To learn more about HPV and other vaccines, SANE VAX, Inc., a science-based group devoted to “Safe, Affordable, Necessary and Effective” (SANE) vaccines and vaccination practices, is a great resource: http://sanevax.org You can also learn more about injuries and deaths caused by HPV vaccines by visiting: http://truthaboutgardasil.org

Perry lies again about Texas Gardasil scandal, claims woman he met after signing executive order lobbied him to pass it

(NaturalNews) The more Texas Gov. Rick Perry tries to defend his decision to sign an executive order in 2007 mandating that all young girls in Texas receive vaccinations against the human papillomavirus (HPV) before being admitted to school, the more he exposes himself as a lying scoundrel that is unfit to govern his own state, let alone lead a nation. During the recent Republican presidential debate in Orlando, Fla., Perry tried once again to defend his infamous Gardasil blunder, this time by telling the heart-tugging story of a woman he met and got to know who had cervical cancer. He told the audience and viewers Thursday night that the reason he signed the executive order was because the woman lobbied him to do so. “I got lobbied on this issue,” said a calm and composed Perry. “I got lobbied by a 31 year old young lady who had stage-four cervical cancer. I spent a lot of time with her. She came by my office. She talked to me about this program. I readily admitted we should have had an opt-in (for the mandate) but I don’t know what part of opt out most parents don’t get. The fact is I was on the side of life and I will always be on the side of life as a governor and as president of the United States.” A charming and sweet story, really — except for the fact that it is not true. According to ABC News , Perry signed the vaccine executive order before he met the young woman, not after, as he claims. The woman did, according to reports, lobby in favor of upholding the executive order after it had been signed (which the legislature eventually overturned), but she did not play a role in Perry’s original signing of it. Unlike the petty issues that typically bog down the presidential campaigning process, Perry’s Gardasil scandal is gravely serious and needs to be exposed. After all, the vaccine that he pushed is implicated in causing thousands of serious and permanent injuries, and potentially hundreds of known deaths, which is a far cry from his empty rhetoric about “being on the side of life” (http://truthaboutgardasil.org/). Perry was truthful about one thing, though. He was lobbied to sign his executive order. But this lobbying appears to have come from Merck and Co., the manufacturer of Gardasil, not a heart-wrenching victim of cervical cancer (http://www.naturalnews.com/033571_Rick_Perry_HPV_vaccines.html).
