What a horrendous word-salad, fact challenged, conspiracy theory driven rant.
Natural News is neither natural nor news.
Might as well be named Pseudo Science for Scientific illiterates.

Facebook bans health and conspiracy site Natural News [Updated]
Conspiracist founder compares Zuckerberg to Hitler, urges Trump to declare war.

Facebook on Sunday removed the prominent health and conspiracy site Natural News from its platform and banned its incendiary founder from posting content.
In an email to Ars, a spokesperson for Facebook confirmed the removal and said only that it was over "violating our policies against spam." Under those policies, Facebook "do[es] not allow people to use misleading or inaccurate information to collect likes, followers, or shares." More specifically, it prohibits sites that "encourage likes, shares, or clicks under false pretenses," and those that "artificially increase distribution for financial gain," among other thing
Facebook’s decision comes just a day after The Daily Beast published a report into the wild, far-right conspiracy theories that have become staples on Natural News.
The Beast’s article noted that Natural News began as an alternative health site that railed against evidence-based medicine and touted organic foods, unproven “natural” remedies, and pseudoscience such as homeopathy—all while hawking supplements.
Over the years, it has morphed into a conspiracy-laden smorgasbord of far-right theories. Now, between pop-up advertisements for probioitics, guides on diets that supposedly prevent parasitic infections, and an article claiming that sprouts are a “superfood,”
Natural News readers find articles with headlines, such as “This is what the Left has become: Targeting retarded children for transgender indoctrination,” “LGBT progressivism horrors: Parents to start physically maiming their own babies to slice off all ‘gender’ organs in the name of progressivism and ‘equality,’” and “All white people are being removed from history as revisionists rewrite science, medicine and technology to eliminate pioneers based on the color of their skin.”
Natural News had nearly 3 million Facebook followers prior to the ban. The site’s content had previously received permanent bans from Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Google News, and Apple, according to Natural News founder, Mike Adams, who calls himself the Health Ranger. Wikipedia lists Natural News as a fake news blog.
