Health Impact News

Health Impact News covers stories that impact your health, but that the mainstream media seldom covers.

Topics

Staff

 

We currently cover 6 broad topics:

1. Medical Watch

Mainstream media today receives significant advertising revenue from the pharmaceutical industry, and seldom does investigative reporting on issues challenging the monopoly on medicine that is controlled by government agencies such as the FDA, CDC, NIH, and others.

Our primary trending topics in Medical Watch at this time are:

Vaccine Safety

For examples of stories on vaccine safety that are censored in mainstream media and that are trending here on Health Impact News, see:

We also have a dedicated website to this issue: http://vaccineimpact.com/

Medical Kidnap

If you are a parent and take your child into a hospital for treatment, and end up disagreeing with your doctor, today you could lose your children to CPS and the foster care system! For an overview of this problem, see:

2. Alternative Health

In our Alternative Health section we feature stories on alternative healing methods that are NOT approved by the FDA, and in many cases where the FDA feels threatened with the competition for its approved pharmaceutical products. Current example and trending article:

3. Real Food Nutrition

In our Real Food Nutrition section we cover news and issues that are directly opposed to the mainstream media’s promotion of nutrition according to the USDA dietary guidelines. These guidelines, largely the result of the McGovern Report in the 1970s which condemned saturated fats, have created a nation that is obese and diabetic, and prone to many autoimmune illnesses. We publish news, research, and how-to articles on Real Food, the traditional foods our ancestors ate. Some mainstream sources are starting to publish some of this information as well.

4. Sustainable Agriculture

With only a handful of companies now controlling most of America’s food supply, we cover the issues largely ignored in the mainstream media regarding the dangers of modern biotechnology and the contamination of our food supply that is contributing to so many health issues. Trending topics right now in our Sustainable Agriculture category are genetically modified foods and the pesticide glyphosate.

5. Coconut Health

This is our area of specialty, being the leading publisher on Coconut Health since 2001. Our Coconut Health category publishes news, research, and testimonials regarding the health benefits of coconut oil and other coconut products. Virgin Coconut Oil today is being used in ketogenic types of diets in treating neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease. You will find all the latest research here, as well as on our original site, CoconutOil.com.

6. Created4Health

The Created4Health category is our least published category, but it is by far the most important one. The foundation for anyone’s health is their belief system. The modern-day agricultural industry and medical industry is the result of more than 2 generations of Darwinian-dominated biology and science in our educational institutes. Anything referencing the spirit world or the non-physical aspects of life are either ignored or denied, and critical thinking in this area is for the most part not tolerated. The result is that we have lifted up “science” to a whole new platform that results in “scientism,” and a new set of beliefs that are not scientific at all. The Arts and Humanities are seen as inferior, and we have produced a highly technical culture based on modern technology, which can never produce true health.

We publish articles in this category from the senior editor of Health Impact News, Brian Shilhavy, that look at the ancient cultures in the Bible and how they viewed health. We also feature writers and articles from the Discovery Institute and other places that view science from an Intelligent Design perspective.

Shannon Stonger – Shannon grew up in a small town in northern Minnesota. She studied chemistry in college, graduated, and married her husband one month later.

There’s a lot to be done to become somewhat self-sufficient, but they are debt-free and get to spend their days living this simple, good life together with their four young children. Shannon writes articles in our Real Food Nutrition category.
