In the ten years since its founding, Natural News' writers have pursued a wide range of topics with investigative rigor and this hard work has produced articles reporting on everything from superfoods and performance nutrition to animal rights, spirituality, and the political climate around privacy. "We consider writing about holistic health and environmental concerns to be an expansive matter," says Health Ranger Mike Adams, the founder of Natural News. "At Natural News we see the connections between health and nutrition and the political climate, for example. With our focus on holistic health and medicine, it would be a disservice to our readers and our content not to include these more broadly construed articles." For Adams, the broader political climate is interwoven particularly with health "crimes," while also being responsible for the repression of many progressive health movements.
Natural News has had a number of victories in the ten years since its founding, including an analysis of the mysterious substance known as a McDonald's Chicken McNugget, exposing several artificial berry scams, reporting on crackdowns surrounding raw milk, and, among its most widely publicized, involvement in the U.S. Supreme Court case that ended the possibility of ownership of genes, a case that made the mainstream news as a significant victory for individuals over corporations. Asked what their goals for the next ten years include, Health Ranger Mike Adams notes that Natural News aims to help "legalize raw milk and hemp farming, end the patenting of seeds and pharmaceuticals, and raise alarms surrounding privacy violations by the United States government." Natural News also hopes to expand its online store, which supplies vitamins and superfoods on a mail order basis.
With a U.S. website ranking of 540, Natural News certainly has the following to accomplish a wide-ranging assortment of goals. Its advocacy work has proven effective at a variety of levels, and the website's affiliation with a small political party known as the Canary Party provides insight into why that is. Though a small voice in some respects, Natural News is the canary in the coalmine, letting readers know about the toxic conditions they are immersed in and warning them that they need to escape. As the canary in the coalmine, Natural News is heard over the din and will continue to prioritize investigative journalism as its primary forum for demonstrating against those toxic conditions.
