Under the guide of "education," drug companies have a dominating presence at medical schools, where they indoctrinate future M.D.s with propaganda about the "benefits" of prescription drugs. The doctors, for their part, claim they are not influenced at all, and yet several studies reveal that their prescription habits are sharply altered nonetheless. Doctors, it seems, aren't very good at knowing when they're being influenced.

This interaction between drug companies and medical schools is just one of the many ways in which the medical racket rolls forward. Doctors aren't learning much about nutrition, the importance of healthy breathing, or how to beat cancer with everyday groceries, but they're sure learning a lot about the latest (and most expensive) prescription drugs. Drug companies spend billions to "educate" doctors about what drugs they should be prescribing -- with free dinners, free vacations to Hawaii disguised as training programs, and free products -- and that investment pays off in a flood of prescriptions.

The medical treatment you get at the offices of most doctors has been designed and implemented by pharmaceutical companies, not by professionals who actually understand health. It is, indeed, the largest con every perpetrated on the American people, and with 2.2 million injuries and 100,000 deaths caused by prescription drugs each year in the United States, it is by far the most evil con witnessed in the last hundred years. Big Medicine must be exposed for the profiteering racket it has become, and doctors need to start leaning about the causes of health, not merely how to treat symptoms with drugs.

He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.

Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.

Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.

Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.

In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
