There are multiple individuals named Mike Adams who are notable in different contexts, so I’ll provide an overview of two prominent figures based on available information, and you can let me know if you had a specific one in mind.
One Mike Adams is known as the "Health Ranger," a controversial figure who founded and runs NaturalNews.com. Born in 1967 in Lawrence, Kansas, he’s a self-described raw foods enthusiast and holistic nutritionist who gained attention for promoting alternative health ideas. Adams claims he cured himself of type 2 diabetes using natural remedies, which sparked his interest in nutrition and led to the creation of Natural News in 2005. The site pushes dietary supplements, alternative medicine, and various conspiracy theories—think anti-vaccine rhetoric, chemtrail fears, and claims about fluoridated water or GMOs being dangerous. He’s been criticized heavily by scientists and bloggers like David Gorski and Steven Novella for spreading pseudoscience and misinformation, with some calling his site a hub of quackery. Adams has also ventured into politically charged territory, supporting pro-Trump narratives and even creating a site to attack a Parkland shooting survivor. His online presence has faced setbacks—Facebook banned Natural News in 2019 for spam violations, and YouTube terminated his account in 2018 for breaching guidelines. He’s based in Wyoming now, still pushing his brand of "truth" through platforms like Brighteon.
Another Mike Adams (1964–2020) was a conservative columnist and criminology professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Born in Columbus, Mississippi, he was known for his provocative opinions, often clashing with students and faculty over his stances on free speech, abortion, and campus politics. He sued UNCW in 2007, claiming religious and speech-based discrimination after being denied a promotion, and won a legal battle in 2014. Adams’ outspoken nature—think fiery columns and tweets like "Massa Cooper, let my people go!" during COVID lockdowns—drew both fans and fierce critics. After years of controversy, including backlash over a tweet seen as racist in 2020, he retired from UNCW with a settlement, only to be found dead weeks later from a gunshot wound, ruled a suicide. His books, like Feminists Say the Darndest Things, reflect his combative style.
