"The total disease care bill for Americans in 1970 was $75 billion, $349 per person, and 7.4 percent of the gross national product (GNP). In 1986, that number grew to a staggering $458 billion, $1,837 per person, and 11 percent of the GNP. Estimates for 1988 are $511 billion. Medical research, based on the germ theory, rose from $2 billion in 1970 to $8.2 billion in 1986. If we needed more medical doctors, American's sure got them. When John F. Kennedy became president in 1960, our nation had 275,000 M.D.s. By 1985, their ranks had swollen to 577,000." - Dr Bernard Jenson and Mark Anderson, Empty Harvest (Get the book.)

"After all, just in the last decade or two we've somehow found the time in the day to spend several hours on the Internet and the money in the budget not only to pay for broadband service, but to cover a second phone bill and a new monthly bill for television, formerly free. For the majority of Americans, spending more for better food is less a matter of ability than priority." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"During this time, the doctor was able to wean bill from prescription antidepressant and antianxiety drugs. Bill noticed an improvement within a couple of weeks,and after several months his wife commented that he was more like his old self.The doctor explained that the nutrients helped to restore normal neurotransmitter activity in Bill's brain, leading to more stable moods.

"And that figure is growing by an average of 12 percent a year, making the cost of medications the fastest growing area of our nation's healthcare bill. According to Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA)—a lobbyist group for the pharmaceutical industry based in Washington, DC—in 2003 alone, drug companies spent $25.3 billion on "drug promotional activities." Of that amount, approximately $3.3 billion was spent on direct-to-consumer advertising; $5." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.)

"The consequence of poor nutrition in the developed world is a diet-related sickness bill of billions of dollars annually. Considering the huge and ever-increasing consumption of aerated drinks, alcohol, canned and frozen foods in general, fried snack foods, potato chips, french fries, ice cream, hot dogs, hamburgers, chocolate and candies, is it any wonder that the health and well-being of Western societies is being affected? Add to this the increasing use of refined white flour rather than wholemeal, salt, sugar, tea and coffee, and the picture gets gloomier." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"She showed me copies of three successive monthly medical bills submitted to her medical insurance—they were more than her monthly grocery bill. This was just a sample of her medical history that reflected deteriorating health throughout many years. Within a month of changing to the Perfect Health lifestyle, she felt like a different person and she has not had a medical bill since; she has found that she no longer enjoys smoking and after forty years has stopped! I am sure that her medical insurance is thrilled." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"As the following lucid dream unfolded, the future-oriented knowledge appeared to come with the show (April 1986): I see something odd, become lucid, and decide to go find my friend bill (who lives 2,000 miles away). I move through a deep darkness then finally emerge into a nighttime view of his city. It's beautiful! The hills and the city buildings at night seem perfectly reproduced, as I look down from far above. Suddenly I descend into a restaurant. bill and his wife are there, seated at a heavy, dark wood table. I sit down and tell them, "This is a dream—we're dreaming!" - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"Another billion years afer the first eukaryotes had formed, very likely when bacteria learned how to swallow other bacteria, and to convert them them into specialized energy generators like chloroplasts in eukaryotic plants, and mitochondria in animals,* evolution expanded the bill of fare. At a moment in history that is practically last week by bacterial standards, somewhere between 570 to 800 million years ago, life on earth got complicated. An enduring image from classical mythology is the tale of the Titans, earth's first rulers, whose king, Cronos, ate his own children." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Who pays this bill? We do! We have increasingly more "iatrogenic" diseases. My God, why don't we just say that doctors kill, and cause disease instead of saying "iatrogenic" disease? Nevertheless, sleeping pills are an attractive market. And who wants to give up on the billions of dollars that is profited with aspirin, Viagra, and all the other blockbuster-drugs we spoke of: drugs for the young, drugs for the old, drugs for athletes, drugs for the whole population? Certainly, not the pharmaceutical industry. So what is the real scandal here?" - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"Bill W. (Bill Wilson), co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. We met in New York in i960, where we introduced him to the concept of megavitamin therapy. We described the results we had seen with our schizophrenic patients, some of whom were also alcoholic. We also told him about its many other properties. It was therapeutic for arthritis, for some cases of senility, and it lowered cholesterol levels. Bill was very curious about it and began to take niacin, 3 g daily. Within a few weeks, fatigue and depression, which had plagued him for years, were gone." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"This finding may eventually lead to an explanation for some rises in some previously described reproductive problems that have been difficult to understand," commented study co-author Professor bill Lasley, a University of California at Davis expert on reproductive toxicology.

Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "Fortunately, due to opposition from a coalition of activist citizen groups headed by the OCA, the bill did not go through. The OCA and other consumer groups are still trying to formulate regulations for "organic" and "made with organic" product labels. In 2006, the OCA, together with Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, sued the USDA in federal court to require that no company could use the USDA's organic seal unless its products were 100 percent derived from certified organic ingredients." - Samuel S.

"NATURAL CURES DISCUSSED ON THE bill O'REILLY SHOW The O'Reilly Factor, starring bill O'Reilly on FOX News telewsion cable network, had a featured segment on the Natural Cures book. Originally, O'Reilly's office called and asked me to appear on the 10th of August. I was unavailable as I was doing a seven-day fast at the We Care Spa outside of Palm Springs (yes, I actually do all the things I say to do in my book!). I explained that I would be available on the 17th of August. This was confirmed." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"I got back into being active during my residency, which was during the running craze surrounding bill Rogers's success and the popularity of the Boston Marathon. Running made me hungry to play tennis again, and then I got into squash with a couple of colleagues, including my good friend and longtime collaborator Ned Hallowell. We played three times a week for almost twenty-five years, competing, cajoling, and encouraging one other. We were all extremely busy, but our squash appointments were sacrosanct. It was a magical stretch." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"The national bill for its hardware alone has soared to $2.5 billion a year. What the cost of treatment must be staggers the imagination. My medical school professors would be shocked and horrified at what has happened to medical practice. The marketplace and economic factors have taken over. In my experience, the many structural abnormalities that are claimed to be the basis for the surgery described above are usually not responsible for the pain so that neither surgical nor even conservative physical treatment of any kind is appropriate." - John E. Sarno, M.D., The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (Get the book.)

"We had Olympic gold medalist Frank Shorter competing against the world's best runners in his hometown marathon; we had bill Rogers telling everyone to get out there; and we had a new phenomenon called the "endorphin rush." A postdoctoral neuroscientist from Johns Hopkins University named Candace Pert had recently discovered that there were opiate receptors in the brain, meaning the body had a built-in way of killing pain with molecules that worked like morphine. Endorphins, as they became known, dulled pain in the body and produced euphoria in the mind." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"Eating Habits I once interviewed bill Dufty, the author of Sugar Blues and a former musician in Billie Holiday's band. Holiday was an exceptionally talented singer and, sadly, an alcoholic. (She was portrayed by Diana Ross in the movie Lady Sings the Blues.) Dufty was with Holiday as she lay on her deathbed, and he noted that she asked not for alcohol but for a soft drink. Years later, he realized that Holiday's addiction to sugar was the underpinning of her addiction to alcohol. Alcoholism is a form of glucose intolerance, related to the same blood sugar problems that cause diabetes." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"Those who have caused these problems to our society do not want to foot the bill to correct them, as it will be in the hundreds of billions of dollars. From a societal point of view, either we spend the money now or we spend far more later on the poor health of an aging and leptin-dysfunctional population. The real problem is that a network of companies which profit by creating the current problems are closely allied with a network of companies that will profit by treating all the sick people who are the result." - Byron J. Richards, The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Get the book.)

"Bush, President bill Clinton, and Oprah Winfrey. B SIGN OF THE TIMES Left-handed people used to be considered evil. Indeed, the word sinister is derived from the Latin sinistra, which means "left."

And according to a French study, they tend to excel at such sports as baseball, tennis, and fencing." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"I further explained the necessity for this procedure and the positive results he could expect, including maximizing the benefits of the Master Cleanse. bill said that he was still unsure that he needed the process and asked how he would positively know that he would be benefited. I suggested that he go to his doctor and get an X-ray after receiving a barium enema into his colon; this would show the colon's condition position. As it happened, bill never returned and I never followed up with him." - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

"He's such a beloved figure that every June 7 is bill Whitman Day in Miami. In his floppy white sun hat, Murray Corman of the Garden of Earthly Delights Nursery looks like an older Gilligan from Gilligan's Island. Corman explains that Whitman has exposed him to "unotherworldly" flavors. The strangest thing he's eaten, Corman says, is the Bromelia penguin, a wild orange pineapple relative used as a meat tenderizer, something that only dawned on him when his taste buds started dissolving." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Bill Clinton is said to have this condition. SIGN OF THE TIMES the severe pain and muscle cramping the bite can cause.) Less commonly, prolonged erections can signal leukemia or malaria. Prolonged erections can also be a reaction to certain antipsychotics, as well as some antidepressants and antihypertensives. And not surprisingly, they can be a rare overreaction to such drugs as Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra, which are used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), commonly called impotence." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

An essential part of the Council's work is to reassure consumers that everything they buy is safe, everything is under control, and no one needs to worry." - Samuel S.

"Only subsequently was an apple found that fit the bill. The tactic worked: the Red Delicious was the most successful apple of the twentieth century. But its era is over. According to organoleptic experts, as the apple became redder, it also became blander. In the midst of its downfall, one American nursery has used marketing to concoct an entirely new breed of fruit. It's autumn and ripe apples are being picked in Wenatchee, Washington, the Apple Capital of the World. From a distance, the red orbs glowing in their boughs resemble Christmas tree ornaments." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"If you receive one, you should write back immediately, explaining that they have no contractual right to bill you. If you think it's necessary, you may want to send a copy to the HMO and put a "CC" on the letter so that the provider knows you did that. Your problems should stop. When you are in an HMO with an out-of-network alternative, the detection of balance billing gets much more complicated. The problem is that it can be impossible to tell who is billing you in network and who is billing you out of network. Hospitals are one of the worst culprits." - Rhonda D.

"Paying my hotel bill, I set off for the ferry on the back of another motorcycle. The driver points out sites of interest. We stop by a temple called Wat Khunaram, which boasts a macabre tourist attraction: a dead monk sitting upright in a glass case. Although he died in 1973, his body hasn't ever decomposed. He wears an orange robe and sunglasses to cover his empty eye sockets. His final request was that his body be put on display as an inspiration to future generations to follow Buddhism and escape the chains of suffering." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Everywhere you look," says bill Moyers, "the foxes own the chicken coop." Moyers's PBS documentaries on food pesticides revealed that chemical companies have knowingly withheld damaging information about harmful toxins in their products. His research, based on archival evidence from internal company memos, confirms that we live "under a regulatory system designed by the chemical industry itself—one that put profits ahead of safety" In 1900, 38 percent of Americans lived as farmers. Today, under 2 percent do so." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"It should look like the diagram I showed you." bill said, "The doctor told me that I was normal and that what you said was a lot of hot air." Now, I agree with some of what that doctor told bill. Yes, a colon such as his maybe considered a normal colon today, if by "normal" you mean average or usual. But is it natural? And does this normal condition create a state of optimal health, or of failing health? When I started my alternative practice, little was known about colon health and the effect of diet on the incidence of cancer." - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

"Turmeric fits the bill perfectly. Turmeric is also a powerful antioxidant, meaning it helps to protect both DNA and cells from the damage done by oxidation—damage that contributes to disease and that ultimately ages the body in a myriad of ways. In one rat study, for example, curcumin provided significant protection from cataract development. The unfortunate rats were exposed to a powerful oxidizing chemical that would normally produce cataracts as well as other damage. But one group of the rats was also treated with curcumin." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)
