"As reported on the bbc news, scientists in the United States have isolated a powerful agent in crocodile blood which could help conquer human infections immune to standard antibiotics. The discovery was made thanks to the curiosity of a bbc science producer filming a documentary on saltwater crocodiles in Australia. The producer noticed something that surprised her. Despite horrendous injuries to crocs, their wounds rarely, if ever, get infected. The sample showed that there was an antimicrobial peptide in the crocodile blood." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"In the summer of 2005, bbc News carried the report of a woman who lifted over 20 times her body weight to free a friend who was trapped beneath her car following an accident—and she did so even though she was injured herself. The 57" woman, 23-year-old Kyla Smith, lost control of her car and it rolled over as it veered off the road. When it came to a rest, she could see that her friend's leg was outside the car, pinned beneath it. She pulled herself out of the driver's window and then raised the car six or seven inches from the ground to free her friend.

"Angel Escudero of Valencia, Spain, has carried out more than 900 cases of complex surgery without anesthesia. bbc cameras were invited into his operating room and captured on film a woman who was having such an operation without anesthetic. All she had to do was keep her mouth full of saliva and keep repeating to herself, "My leg is anesthetized." An affirmation like hers is another form of intention. A dry mouth is one of the mind's first warning signals of danger." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"The results were published in the January 11, 2007 issue of bbc News Magazine: Once they were over the withdrawal from caffeinated drinks and some foods, they enjoyed good energy levels and mood. So the moments of "unhappiness and grumpiness" that the TV crew was primed to capture failed to happen. ... Overall, the cholesterol levels dropped 23%, an amount usually achieved only through anticholesterol drugs, statins. The group's average blood pressure fell from a level of 140/83 ?almost hypertensive ?to 122/76. Though it was not intended to be a weight-loss diet, they dropped 4.4kg (9." - Susan E.

"It seemed like every major news organization in the world, including CNN, the Discovery Channel, and the bbc had come to see her. When Sayoko heard about our plans to visit Ushi again, she asked to come along. On the hour-long car ride to Ogimi, we had our first opportunity to really talk. We were sitting in the back seat as the vivid foliage of northern Okinawa zipped by. "You know Dan, Ushi really changed my life," she began. "I'd been working in the center of Tokyo." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"When the bbc interviewed her son 40 years later, he reported that his handicaps included "very short arms, no right eye and 10 per cent vision in my left eye." Eventually the documented effects of thalidomide included damaged hearts, gallbladders and brains; malformed bowels, narrowed or closed anuses, deformed hips, missing genitals, damaged eye muscles, deafness, missing ears, missing fingers, and thumbs with three rather than two joints." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"Her harrowing experiences of trying to come off this apparently safe and popular drug made up just one response to a bbc Panorama documentary in the autumn of 2002, Secrets of Seroxat. Sarah described how she had been initially prescribed Seroxat to deal with a wobbly sensation, as if on a boat, she said, that was bobbing up and down. It was a condition various tests had confirmed was not caused by an inner ear or balance problem. After A levels she started a law degree at Birmingham University and would travel in from Coventry by train each day." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"For further information and advice, consult the web - it's amazing what you can find out with half an hour's Googling - the BBC's parenting website has much helpful advice and opportunities to chat. But don't get stuck on the net when you're supposed to be sharing time with your child (see Chapter 4), and don't use net-based contacts as a substitute for meeting real people. • Use casual chats and virtual leads to develop real-life contacts with people who share your concerns and interests." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.) "But in the words of Tessa Livingstone, executive producer of the BBC's Child of Our Time, who watched many babies adjusting to life outside the womb, good sleep habits 'don't just happen. Parents have to show their children how to sleep.' She found that those who work at it 'double their chances of having a baby who sleeps through the night, every night'. As most parents know to their cost, newborn babies' sleep habits are chaotic - they may sleep a lot, but hardly ever when you want them to." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.) "Ms Street-Porter is renowned as a forceful woman, capable of withering hardened bbc executives with a glance. In her new role, however - despite an armoury of guidelines for dealing with problem children - she found herself leaving school at the end of each day 'weeping with frustration that several of the worst offenders would simply run rings round me. Quite simply, they had no idea of discipline whatsoever'. These opinions are reflected in teachers' comments across the developed world." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)

"In addition, there are already over z8o Wi-Fi hotspots in the tiny country, according to a bbc News report, and over two-thirds of them are free (Boyd 2004). But this is much more than a story of leapfrogging or redistributing the future through technology: even more amazing than Estonians' appetite for Internet access is the Baltic nation's absolute commitment to digital transparency. Estonia's former president Lennart Meri (1992-2001) supposedly answered his own e-mail. The state IT adviser attends cabinet meetings." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"In fact, the term "big bang" was coined by Hoyle as he ridiculed the competing theory in a popular bbc radio talk show. It did not take long, however, for the steady-state theory to run into serious problems. The most distant galaxies are seen as they were billions of years ago, because that is how long it takes for their light to reach us. If the steady-state theory is correct, and the universe at that time was the same as it is now, then these distant galaxies should look more or less the same as the galaxies we now see in our own neighborhood." - Alex Vilenkin, Many Worlds in One: The Search for Other Universes (Get the book.)

"As the bbc reminds us, "A pea-sized ball moving this fast is as dangerous as a 400-lbsafe traveling at 60 mph." Forgetting for a moment the danger posed to astronauts in the International Space Station (experts say there's a one-in-ten chance of a debris accident in the next ten years [David 1996]), these junk particles endanger the low-orbiting satellites most useful for studying Earth. A fast-moving debris ring around the planet presents some serious challenges to the kind of space science that can tackle environmental and social challenges. But what can be done?" - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"The limits of American hard power have been on display for all to see in the quagmire of Iraq and the Middle East; the allure once offered by American soft power—that mix of economic might and moral persuasion—has been shredded by six years of bellicose international relations. A bbc poll conducted at the end of 2006 in eighteen emerged and emerging powers like Spain, Argentina, South Africa, and Malaysia, found that just 29 percent thought U.S. influence had a "positive effect," down from 40 percent in 2004.2 The European Union is consolidating its influence just as U.S. influence ebbs." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"The eleventh dimension is the dimension that may contain within it, in the words of one bbc reporter: "any number of parallel universes. Physicists say that this dimension may be only a millimeter away from us yet we have no awareness of its existence."17 This is because the other universes are vibrating out of phase with ours, at a frequency that we cannot perceive. There is vastly more mass in our universe than we can perceive." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"Village politics Another concern is the fact that the friends children make through virtual friendship routes may not be who they seem. A bbc booklet on safe use of the Internet looks on the sunny side with the warning: 'On the Internet, people often use nicknames, and they often pretend to be a different age or even gender: it's part of the fun' - presumably an attempt to equate Internet deceit with the 'pretend play' of children. This seems to me irresponsible. Some of the people out there masquerading under a cheery nickname have a very different idea of fun from the rest of us." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)

"STUDY LINKS HAIR DYES TO CANCER According to the bbc, researchers have found more evidence that hair dyes cause cancer. I have repeatedly said that if you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin. I have repeatedly tried to inform you of the fact that toxins cause cancer. More and more evidence is making headline news. This particular study shows that those who regularly dye their hair have a higher risk of developing lymphoma." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Such problems may only arise hundreds of generations after the crops are originally modified." BBC's Tomorrow's World Magazine Foreign genes will not transfer to bacteria in the digestive system. Therefore, use of antibiotic resistant genes is safe. Roundup Reaady transgenic sequences transferred into human gut bacteria and appeared stably integrated. "British scientific researchers have demonstrated for the first time that genetically modified DNA material from crops is finding its way into human gut bacteria, raising potentially serious health questions." - Jeffrey M.

(There is repetition for emphasis in this Chapter) How Contaminated Are We?'- 53- 57- 107 The potential scope of health problems from chemical exposures can be immense as demonstrated earlier. In Chapter 1, the symptoms and common causes of sensitivities to numerous chemicals were discussed.

"Reporting from Ethiopia's refugee camps in 1984, the BBC's Michael Buerk spoke of a 'biblical famine' as the camera swept slowly over the dead and dying. Over 300,000 people perished during earlier famines in the 1970s. The Sahel is an immense area, stretching in a wide belt east to west across northern Africa from Senegal on the Atlantic coast to Somalia on the Indian Ocean. For the most part savannah and thorn scrub, it is a climatic transition zone between the hyper-arid Sahara to the north and the lush tropical forests which grow nearer to the equator in the south." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"Plenty of other sites now feature online/ downloadable audio selections. bbc Radio's features include dramas, readings, and literary conversations that can be streamed on their (largely reliable) player.

"He and his band let fly with a wild combination of reggae, zouk, makossa, and everything else that the bbc and every Asian pirated CD had brought this way over the decade. They were great musicians. The crowd danced, little boys humped the air, and the Mudmen moved real slow. It was one helluva performance. As the band cranked along, David got up and began to dance onstage. He flailed his long arms and legs gracefully and had the crowd screaming. He turned and smiled. "Your turn, brata?

"Physician Ian Campbell, an expert in obesity from Nottingham, England, and medical director of the UK's leading obesity charity, Weight Concern, told the bbc that this research shows that "an involuntary exaggerated neu-rophysiological response to pictures of desirable food presented through clever advertising makes it incredibly difficult for some affected individuals to resist. "The message is clear. While individuals must retain a responsibility to do their best to control their intake of [junk] foods, this responsibility must be shared by the food manufacturers and advertisers." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

"A former student, Alison Baum, who now worked as an ideas scout at the bbc, called me. She asked whether I would object to Horizon, the corporation's flagship science programme, making a documentary about my work. This, mind you, was at a time when my article wasn't even written, never mind published. More buzz. I asked for a day to think it over, and went home. Sitting on my couch in my empty flat in Clapham, I thought: Why not?" - Luca Turin, The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell (Get the book.) "I did not have to worry about this - the atmosphere was very friendly and the usual bbc fairness prevailed. When Alison heard about my carvones experiment, she suggested we put it to the perfumers at Quest in Paris, to see whether they agreed with my assessment that mint plus nail-varnish remover equals caraway. They were supposed to smell a series of 'chromatic' mixtures with different proportions of butanone mixed with the mint-carvone to find out whether any smelled of caraway." - Luca Turin, The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell (Get the book.)
