(NaturalNews) More than 10 percent of the world's population currently suffers fromsome form of liver disease, whether it be fibrosis, cirrhosis, a hepatocellular carcinoma, alcoholic steatosis, or chronic hepatitis. And a great number of these folks use some kind of natural remedy as treatment rather than pharmaceuticals, according to a 2012 study published in the European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.

Herbal remedies have gained an incredible following among liver disease sufferers, because they're safe and highly effective, without all the harmful side effects. According to the paper, the following herbs and herb-derived remedies are among the top contenders in this natural fight against liver disease:

1) Curcumin (Curcuma longa). This turmeric derivative has been used throughout Southeast Asia as a remedy for rheumatism, skin diseases, body aches, intestinal worms, diarrhea and hepatic disorders. More recently, curcumin has shown scientific benefits in treating inflammatory diseases like diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, dementia and cancer.

"Curcumin could attenuate liver injury induced by ethanol [alcohol], thioacetamide, iron overdose, cholestasis and acute, subchronic and chronic carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) intoxication," explains the paper. "[M]oreover, it can reverse CCl4 cirrhosis to some extent."

2) Wogonin (Scutellaria radix). This monoflavonoid compound isolated from skullcap root shows incredible promise in the treatment of both Hepatitis B and C, as well as various forms of alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Unlike pharmaceuticals, wogonin doesn't promote drug resistance, nor does it induce adverse events in patients.

"The anti-HBV activity of wogonin demonstrates its ability to suppress hepatitis B surface antigen secretion in cell culture," the study highlights, noting that wogonin has also been shown to be effective in treating hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

3) Glycyrrhizin (Glycyrrhiza glabra). This active constituent of licorice root has long been used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis, and also possesses a host of natural anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. Glycyrrhizin is used in traditional Chinese medicine to protect liver function and also to combat tumors.

4) Resveratrol. This polyphenolic phytochemical derived from berries, grapes and wine, has gained itself a solid reputation as one of the most potent anti-aging compounds found in nature. But resveratrol has also been shown scientifically to have hepatoprotective properties that may help protect against hepatic damage caused by free radicals and inflammatory cytokines. It also helps elevate levels of glutathione in the body and promotethe formation of antioxidant enzymes, both of which help protect the liver.

5) Silymarin (Silybum marianum). This compound derived from milk thistle is arguably the most well-studied in the natural treatment of liver disease. Milk thistle extract has long held a strong reputation as one of the most powerful "liver tonics" in the world, due to its amazing ability to prevent and/or reverse hepatotoxicity caused by drugs and other toxins. Silymarin also helps combat the production of free radicals, as well as exerting antifibrotic activity that helps protect the liver against toxic damage.

6) Rhein. This anthraquinone derived from rhubarb is known to have powerful anti-cancer properties. But it's also an amazing remedy in the treatment and prevention of fatty liver disease. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have also shown benefits in protecting against hepatic fibrosis by inhibiting the expression of both TGF-beta1 and hepatic stellate cells, both of which are markers in the progression of liver disease.

7) Geniposide (Gardenia jasminoides). This compound of the gardenia plant is particularly beneficial in treating hyperlipidemia and fatty liver disease. Studies have shown that geniposide is particularly effective at inhibiting liver fibrosis, as well as protecting against hepatic steatosis.

"Genipin could induces [sic] apoptotic cell death in rat hepatoma cells and human hepatocarcinoma Hep3B cells," the study explains.

Former GMO scientist exposes the outright lies and propaganda of the biotech industry

(NaturalNews) Thierry Vrain, who spent many years as a research scientist and genetically modified organism (GMO) advocate for Agriculture Canada, has recently gone public with his conclusion that GMOs are dangerous for humans, animals and the environment.

"I refute the claims of the biotechnology companies that their engineered crops yield more, that they require less pesticide applications, that they have no impact on the environment and of course that they are safe to eat," he wrote.

While at Agriculture Canada, Vrain was the scientist designated to address public groups with the message that GMOs were safe.

"I don't know if I was passionate about it but I was knowledgeable," he wrote. "I defended the side of technological advance, of science and progress.

"I have in the last 10 years changed my position."

Animals that eat GMOs die

Vrain says that his change of opinion came about after he became aware of numerous studies from prestigious labs, published in prestigious scientific journals, showing the health risks of GMOs.

"There is... a growing body of scientific research -- done mostly in Europe, Russia, and other countries -- showing that diets containing engineered corn or soya cause serious health problems in laboratory mice and rats," he wrote.

Vrain notes that the evidence is so comprehensive that in 2009 the American Academy of Environmental Medicine called for a moratorium on GMO foods and for expanded safety testing. The studies reviewed by the Academy found that a GMO diet led to problems including accelerated aging; immune dysfunction; infertility; dysfunction in genes that regulate cell signaling, cholesterol synthesis, insulin regulation and protein formation; and changes to the kidneys, liver, spleen and gastrointestinal system.

Vrain notes that, even though many GMOs produce insecticides in their tissues and are even registered as insecticides, the toxic proteins they produce have never been tested for safety.

"There are no long-term feeding studies performed in these countries to demonstrate the claims that engineered corn and soya are safe," he wrote. "All we have are scientific studies out of Europe and Russia, showing that rats fed engineered food die prematurely."

Based on obsolete science

Vrain condemns the entire premise of genetic engineering as bad science, based on the now-discredited idea that each gene codes for only a single protein.

"The whole paradigm of the genetic engineering technology is based on a misunderstanding," he wrote. "Every scientist now learns that any gene can give more than one protein and that inserting a gene anywhere in a plant eventually creates rogue proteins. Some of these proteins are obviously allergenic or toxic."

Vrain also draws attention to the environmental risks of GMOs, citing the 120-page reportGMO Myths and Truths. This review of more than 500 studies and government reports refutes industry claims that GMOs are more nutritious, use less pesticide and do not harm the environment. Studies have repeatedly found that GMOs can pass their modified genes on to not just other plants but also soil bacteria. These bacteria then spread the genes into the environment. Another study found that the genes transferred to the gut bacteria of humans who ate GMOs.

"This is genetic pollution to the extreme," Vrain wrote.

Vrain also addresses the most common argument of GMO proponents: that no one has ever gotten sick after eating a meal containing GMOs.

"Nobody gets ill from smoking a pack of cigarette either," he wrote. "But it sure adds up, and we did not know that in the 1950s before we started our wave of epidemics of cancer. Except this time it is not about a bit of smoke, it's the whole food system that is of concern."

New Studies Prove Organic and Grass-Fed Are Worth the Price

ory at-a-glance

• Organic food crops have fewer, if any pesticide residues, and about half the amount of cadmium, a toxic metal and carcinogen. They also contain 18 to 69 percent more antioxidants than conventionally grown varieties
• Organic grass-fed milk and meat contain a healthier fatty acid composition, with higher amounts of omega-3 and CLA, and higher levels of essential minerals and antioxidants
• Research looking at key sustainability metrics found organic farms are more profitable, more environmentally-friendly, and provide unique social and ecosystem benefits

(NaturalNews) In the latest insult to scientific transparency and food consumers everywhere, the U.S. Congress is pushing hard to pass the DARK Act that would outlaw all mandatory GMO labeling nationwide.

This act of outrageous food secrecy is being pushed by Monsanto and the evil biotech industry. It's the latest desperate attempt to keep consumers in the dark about all the poisonous GMOs and glyphosate they're eating. When the voters keep demanding labeling laws -- and passing them! -- the poison-pushing industry's weapon of last resort is to pay off the lawmakers to ban mandatory GMO labeling.

Remember: These industry operators are the same "corporate science" cretins who also lobbied for the tobacco industry and who now promote chemical pesticides and herbicides. They've mastered the sinister art of making money poisoning the population (while hijacking the so-called "science" by paying off academic prostitute scientists likeKevin Folta and Henry Miller).

The DARK Act is a malicious, nefarious law that is intentionally designed to blind consumers from the truth and make sure they keep buying and eating poisons that generate profits for Big Biotech. Any U.S. lawmaker who supports this act deserves to be permanently voted out of office.

Take ACTION

If this DARK Act becomes law, it will thrust America into a dark age of dirty food secretsthat leaves consumers blind about what they're eating. A vote is going to happen very soon, as the Vermont labeling law kicks in this summer, and the corrupt U.S. Congress is desperate to stop it with the DARK Act!

The food industry is already accelerating toward more food transparency, and the evil biotech industry wants to stop this trend as quickly as possible. Campbell's recently announced GMO labeling across its entire product line and even declared it would stop financially supporting anti-GMO labeling groups. If Campbell's can label the GMOs in its products, any food manufacturer can do the same!

CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW via the U.S. capitol switchboard: (202) 224- 3121.

Tell them you oppose the DARK Act and that you support GMO labeling!

From a reader who references: Bix Weir: Obama Just Nationalized 1.8M Acres of Gold and Silver Land Deposits

I'd like this reader to know I thank him for staying with me on this, and that, BTW, it was dropped into spam, hopefully to be lost.  When they remove my right hand column they really don't want my posts to be read, so I thank all those with deep interest for staying with me.

The reader shares some very interesting info:

I know there is an Agenda 21 video link here but I am not sure the true extent of Agenda 21 is really understood. I don’t pretend to understand it all. Agenda 21 recently renamed Agenda 2030 is a United Nations Plan and part of the Agenda of a New World Order, (NWO).

This NWO calls for “World Population to be maintained under 500.000 in perpetual balance with nature”
-Ref: Georgia GuideStones.
That’s 6.5 billion people. Poof! gone!
The remaining population will be forced into Human Settlement Zones in urban areas near railway lines and stacked and packed into small sustainable units inside Apartment Towers where they will be under constant surveillance. That’s the End Game. Human Slavery.
Buying Gold or Silver is smart in the short term but the Evil net that surrounds us is getting pulled tighter and tighter.
Agenda 21 will not allow any property rights, real estate investing or personal wealth as “it is not sustainable”.
We are being rapidly forced into a Cashless Society Globally. This starts to gives the government complete control of your finances as you are forced to bank your cash which will only be accessible vA AN RFID chipped card. This control of your money will allow the banks to steal some of it via Negative Interest rates. You’ll be forced to spend into the economy or else have it siphoned off if you don’t. Next step will be an implanted RFID chip and/or magnetic tattoo that has a built in sensor and transmitter. This chip will be your everything: ID, driver’s license, Passport, checking account, etc. Once Authentication Pills are introduced you will never have to ID yourself again or need a password or a key. You will be automatically ID’d everywhere you go. Future VR technology will have you “living” in an Interactive Internet, no computer, keyboard or mouse needed.
In short, whatever Gold or silver or anything else you buy will be taken from you. There’s no place to hide it, there’s no place you can go. The Global Facial Recognition software program will find you. And if you don’t remove the chip implant, a drone may find you first.
I put together some resources that can be copied and shared. Quietly and sneakily, Agenda 21 is being introduced in small towns and cities across America. Big cities too.Since it is being falsely promoted as a Good thing: “Sustainable Living, Environmental Protection, combat Global Warming, the officials are signing up in droves. The truth is not being told. The Officials are clueless, the People are clueless. Can we change that?

Industry lobbyists target Dr. Maryanne Demasi (here’s how to help) . . . from Take Back Your Power

Posted on February 25, 2016by Jean

via email ~J

Hi Jean,

On Saturday, I sent you a link to watch “WI-FRIED?” on ABC Austrialia. It was an excellent, courageous investigation of risk from EMF and wireless radiation. The bad news? The show’s producer Dr. Maryanne Demasi has been attacked by industry lobbyists. And the situation has escalated since her Huff Post rebuttal.

The wireless industry has now teamed up with show “Media Watch” in what appears to bean organized attempt to suppress the truth and get her fired.

She is going up against a huge industry who is very financially motivated. And she needs our support.

Please take a moment to post your comment here, stating your support of WI-FRIED?,and telling “Media Watch” what you think about their collaboration with lobbyists and suppression of science.

Dr. Demasi told one of her supporters:

“I’ve had to engage two lawyers today, an employment lawyer and a defamation lawyer. Unfortunately, the ABC won’t be providing me with any legal help so I’ve [sought] my own. I hope they can do something to dampen the story on Media Watch.”

Please take a moment to go on the Media Watch website. Scroll down to the comments section, and tell them what you think:
http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s4411611.htm

And tweet your support to Dr. Demasi @MaryanneDemasi

Let us see clearly through the illusion of industry rhetoric, lies and propaganda. And let’s turn up the volume of truth.

Onward,

Josh del Sol

USDA caught suppressing science on pesticides that are killing bee pollinators; take action to stop the federal government's 'black box science'

(NaturalNews) Much of the way things operate in the world today is based on the notion that if you speak the truth, you'll receive some serious criticism. At the very least, people will look at you like a deer in the headlights, confused as to why you're not embracing what's really right. What's really right, of course, is the way others want you to think and act – "others" unfortunately being the likes of Big Pharma, greedy organizationsand bully-like people.

One example of this "do-as-I-say" mentality comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), who is up in arms over the fact that its top scientist engaged in neonicotinoid pesticide (neonics) research about bees, which was ultimately widely-published and well-received. Surely, had the research suggested that neonics were A-okay for bees, the USDA wouldn't have taken issue with the findings. However, the scientist, Dr. Jonathan Lundgren, showed that not only are neonic coatings on corn and soy seeds troublesome for bees, but they don't provide a significant benefit to farmers either. It's for this reason that, according to Dr. Lundgren, the USDA started to harass him, attempted to keep him hush-hush on the topic, and even tried to disrupt his involvement with other projects. He was even given a two-week suspension.^(1,2)

In response to the bizarre USDA reactions, he filed a whistleblower complaint, suggesting that the USDA brushes scientific evidence under the carpet for their own gain.

Once again, money speaks ... But you can sign a petition to make a difference to the plight of honeybees

Jeff Ruch, executive director of Public Employees For Environmental Responsibility (PEER), feels that the USDA's reactions stem from the fact that Dr. Lundgren's research wouldn't have sat well with stockholders. Therefore, his findings set the USDA in panic mode, causing them to treat the scientist, who worked at the USDA Agriculture Research Service in South Dakota for 11 years, unfairly.

"We think the USDA is reflecting complaints from corporate stakeholders," says Ruch. "This research is drawing consternation, which flows down the USDA chain of command to the researchers doing the work."⁽²⁾

Also coming to the defense of Dr. Lundgren is the Pesticide Action Network (PAN). They urge citizens like you to do your part when it comes to the harms of pesticide use. They have a petition that encourages you to support the scientist, while also allowing you totake a stand against the many wrongdoings involving the pesticide/bee issue. Enough with trying to stifle the truth. Enough with caring more about stakeholders than the importance of pollination. The petition involving Dr. Lundgren states the following:

"Intimidation and harassment of USDA ARS scientists doing critical research onpesticides, genetically engineered crops, and our food and farming system cannot be tolerated. USDA must stop the censoring of USDA scientists' research. The agency should immediately revise its Scientific Integrity Policy to put an end to this suppression."⁽¹⁾

What's it going to take? Even the EPA came out with study mentioning that pesticides harm honeybees

For crying out loud, even the EPA – not quite an organization thought to have people's best interests at heart – has come forward with its first scientific risk assessment study involving neonicotinoids and bees. Guess what? It mentions a "significant effect" betweenneonicotinoids and a diminishing honeybee population.⁽³⁾

Time and again, it's been proven that the honeybee population must be preserved, not harmed through the use of pesticides. Honeybees are a vital part of the environment; raw, unfiltered, organic honey boosts intestinal tract health, fills your body with antioxidants, and helps ease allergies, to name just a few healing health benefits.⁽³⁾

Won't you join the fight against pesticides by signing the PAN petition? Making your opinion known is important, since every single signature matters. The more you make your voice heard, the less likely it is that other voices will be squashed, as they attempt to save the planet's pollinators.
