Mike Adams.
Has our world gone insane to the point where it's like, you know, 100 million people are diabetic almost or on the verge of it.
Another 50 million people in America are obese.
The Health Ranger Report.
And nobody's talking about, um, maybe we should stop making people sick.
It's time for the Health Ranger Report.
And now from naturalnews.com, here's Mike Adams.
Here's an update on the fundraiser for Hurricane Harvey victims in Texas.
If you go to healthrangerstore.com, you can see the progress chart there about how much money that we've raised with your help to get to Hurricane Harvey victims.
Now, at the time I'm recording this, it's almost $25,000, and that's in one day.
Well, less than one full day, actually.
And we were kind of late getting the news out, so we will easily get over $25,000 in funds raised today.
That will be sent to directly to the groups that are helping people on the ground in Houston or other affected areas, perhaps Corpus Christi.
We're pulling together the actual final list right now of where we're sending the money.
We'll bring you the full report of exactly which groups we've donated to and exactly how much money that we've sent them.
And some of them are local churches, for example, because we don't like to give money to the American Red Cross or the United Way or these other groups that have high overhead and are kind of scammy.
We prefer to give directly to small local organizations that are run by volunteers that actually spend the money on things that help people directly.
You know, blankets, food, hotel rooms, whatever they need, bottled water, You know, a pair of socks.
You know, people need basics.
And there are tens of thousands of people who have been in shelters.
They've had to seek shelter.
There are hundreds of thousands that have been displaced, if not millions.
It might be millions.
I don't know.
I don't know the exact number.
I don't think anybody does.
In any case, here's how you can help.
Go to healthrangerstore.com.
Purchase everything that you want.
And spend big, because half of what you spend, we donate to the Hurricane Harvey victims, even though we ship you everything you buy.
So if you buy, let's say, $500 worth of product on healthrangerstore.com, we ship you your $500 worth of product.
Then we also cut a check for $250 to the Hurricane Harvey victims or different groups that we're donating to.
And then we report back to you exactly how much we donated to which groups.
And thanks to your help and your support, which I humbly thank you for.
I just, I can't tell you how much you've touched my heart with this huge response.
With your help, our goal has been to raise $50,000, which means we're trying to get to $100,000 in sales in two days so that that's a $50,000 donation.
Yeah.
Thank you.
And we're getting there.
I think we're almost halfway there in less than one day.
So I just got to thank you so much for having the heart to help out everybody and understanding the intention here behind what I call conscious capitalism.
And in fact, we've had a lot of compliments about this approach.
People love it because A lot of people, they don't know, they don't trust donations to the American Red Cross, especially after the whole Haiti fiasco, where there was a lot of deception on the part of the Red Cross.
You know, a lot of people don't trust them anymore.
I don't trust them.
People want to help, but they don't know where to give.
And also, a lot of people are in almost a dire financial situation themselves.
They've got a limited budget and they need preparedness items for themselves as well so that they can be safe or their families can be safe or their communities can be safe.
So with this situation that we have set up and announced, everybody wins.
You win because you buy products from us.
You get those products.
You don't have to give up anything.
We're not asking you to, like, add an extra $100 to your purchase or anything.
You don't pay anything extra.
You get what you buy, and it's a good deal anyway.
And then we take 50% of that money and send it to the hurricane victims.
So the hurricane victims win.
You win because you get the products and you get the good karma that goes with knowing that you're making a substantial donation even though it didn't take anything out of your pocket really because you got the full value of your purchase price.
And then we win also even though yeah we have to dig into our pockets and send the money because You know, it's costing us to do that, but we win in a spiritual realm.
We win because it's the right thing to do.
We win because we get the opportunity to be able to help and touch so many lives of people who desperately need our help.
And that's a gift.
That's an opportunity for us.
And I'm humbly thankful for that opportunity to be able to make a positive difference.
And for you to step up and help us make that difference, it means a lot to me.
It means a lot to me on a personal basis.
It just shows that our audience is so amazing.
So many loving, compassionate, intelligent people who care about this world.
They want to make a better world and they understand the value of supporting small business and also helping others in need.
They understand.
I mean, you understand.
You are the reason that we do this.
Again, I just can't thank you enough.
I'm very humbled by this display on your part, this outpouring of financial support.
So in another day, we should get to $50,000 in donation, which means that we've hit $100,000 in sales.
And that's not a small thing.
You think about it, two days in the middle of the week to sell $100,000 worth of product.
That's a pretty big volume.
It's going to take us a couple of days to catch up with that, to ship out all that product.
So I thank you for your patience if you're ordering.
But we have the infrastructure.
We've got the employees.
We've got the forklifts.
We've got the warehouse space.
We've got the contracts with UPS and FedEx.
And we've got the manufacturing facility and so on.
And we've built this infrastructure.
So it's important to use that infrastructure for something positive in this time of need for our fellow Texans.
You know, my heart goes out to those people who have suffered so much.
I mean, I can't imagine having all my belongings and all my household, my house itself and everything just swept away overnight.
How devastating is that?
You know, not just to lose your house, but the memories that go with all your stuff, all your family photos, let's say, or all the things maybe that are important to you.
Even your own clothes.
It's comforting to be able to put on your own clothes instead of having to wear donated clothes in a shelter.
My heart goes out to these people.
I want to help them in every way I can.
But you know what?
There was something almost karmically not quite connecting about merely writing a check to them.
I wanted this to be a community effort.
I wanted to make this offer where we, in essence, are matching 50% of your purchase so that you and we are working together as a community to help those in need.
And the more you are willing to step up and help, the more we're willing to dig deep and help at the same time.
And so together, we're accomplishing something that maybe we couldn't do alone.
I'm not sure that I could have written a check for $50,000 just Out of our pocket.
I don't think we could have.
That's beyond what we could do.
But with your help, you purchase products from us, and then we donate 50%, then we can make it work.
Because now, you know, because normally we have a little bit of profit built into every product sale, so we have a little bit of profit, which lessens the amount that we have to dig into our pockets.
Yeah, we're still going to have to, you know, Write a lot of our money toward this, but that's fine.
Again, I welcome the opportunity to do that.
I wish God would give me more opportunities to help touch the lives of people in need.
I mean, it's an honor to be able to do this.
It's an honor.
And I don't know what else...
I mean, there's nothing better that I could do with this revenue, as far as I'm concerned, right now, than to just give it to those who need it.
Give it to those who have suffered so much, and they've been through so much, and they've lost so much.
And for them to know...
That there's somebody out there, they might not even know who I am, and it doesn't even matter.
They don't know the Health Ranger is doing this, or you, as a customer of the Health Ranger store, or Natural News fans, they don't know your names, they don't know my name.
And that's okay.
What they know is that there are angels out there who are doing something for them, that they are not alone in this world.
As they struggle, they're not alone.
And isn't that something that we all want to know, ultimately?
If you go through a difficult time, if you go through a tragedy, don't you want to know that you're not alone?
That someone can reach out their hand and help you in your time of need?
Just knowing that creates love and blessings in the world.
Just demonstrating that to others spreads that idea of love and blessings.
So we are creating love with so much in our world that's twisted today that's rooted in evil.
And evil is the opposite of love, well, hate or evil.
Just the fact that we are demonstrating love means that evil is losing.
So we are winning in so many ways with your support as you help us raise this money.
We're winning spiritually.
We're winning by helping the lives of people who have suffered through all this.
You're winning by getting the products that you ordered as well, which could be preparedness products that you need.
And we're winning because we get to step up and do what's right and demonstrate why being a Texan means something very, very special in this world.
To be a Texan means that you're not just in it for the money.
You're not just All about economic gain.
You're about using the infrastructure of business to help improve the lives of people who have suffered, to help bring aid and relief to those people, to help even potentially save the lives of people.
Because business, when it's run by ethical people like we do, business has a role to play in society in helping save lives and helping improve the quality of life for people everywhere.
And that's really the bottom line of what I do at Natural News.
All of my work is about that.
It's about protecting life, improving life, uplifting life, awakening people.
And so really this effort at the Health Ranger store is simply another example that's perfectly aligned with my primary message and goal and inspiration in everything that I do at naturalnews.com at the same time.
And you get that.
You get that.
And that's why you're supporting us so much.

You're touching my heart at the same time that you're touching the lives of so many people.
