 "As I write this, Mattel, the world's largest toy company, is trying to scrub its tarnished image clean after several high-profile recalls on toys manufactured in china that may contain poisonous levels of lead in their paint. By the beginning of September 2007 close to a dozen popular toys around the world, including eight playsets sold under the Barbie brand and three Fisher-Price toys, were pulled from the shelves. In a little more than a month, Mattel recalled more than 21 million of these toys worldwide."- Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) |
 "A hundred years ago, we saw a flood of immigrants from Europe and china. In the past fifty years, many immigrants have come from Mexico, India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, all far sunnier climates than most of the United States.
For post-World War II Americans, problems started with their movement into darker industrial cities in the Midwest and the Northeast to look for jobs. Since the 1980s, the digital revolution has moved most of us from the factory floor and physical labor to the desk, where we sit facing a computer."- James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) |
 "One portion is reflected off an object ?a china teacup, say - the other is reflected by several mirrors. They are then reunited and captured on a piece of photographic film. The result on the plate - which represents the interference pattern of these waves - resembles nothing more than a set of squiggles or concentric circles."- Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) |
 "From the monasteries of Egypt's Gebel Musa and the Andes Mountains of Peru to the highlands of central china and Tibet, I found myself in some of the most remote and isolated sanctuaries remaining on Earth today, in search of precisely such teachings. It was on a clear, cold morning in 1998 that I heard the actual words describing the power of feeling in our lives in a way that couldn't be mistaken.
Each day on the Tibetan plateau is both summer and winter?summer in the direct high-altitude sun and winter as the rays disappear behind the jagged peaks of the Himalayas."- Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) |
 "Whereas physicians being trained in Eastern medicine receive considerable training in modern scientific medicine, the allopathic physicians in china are much more aware and embracing of traditional approaches. Hence, it was acceptable for a man with scientifically diagnosed dementia to be receiving acupuncture treatment in a Western-style hospital. This is an integrative model America would be wise to learn from.
Various schools of acupuncture exist, each emphasizing different energy meridians—the force lines that are said to exist in the body, upon which different types of needles are placed."- Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "India and china already constitute the largest-ever populations of persons with dementia, and the developing world as a whole will comprise two-thirds of the worldwide Alzheimer's population. To put this in perspective, in the coming years, a new person will be diagnosed with AD every eleven seconds—unless we, like the Japanese, stop applying the label and imagine better stories to tell about the human condition. As medicine continues to advance in its ability to treat such conditions as cardiovascular disease, which have largely affected the elderly population, people will live longer." - Peter J.

 "A host of studies of Qigong carried out in china have been collated on the Qigong Database; many of these studies claim to offer evidence that "destroying mind" can kill human cancer cells or tumors in mice, decrease the growth rate of E. coli, and inhibit activity of amylase, an enzyme used to help digest carbohydrates.13 Nonetheless, some Western scientists maintain quiet reservations about the database; few of these studies have been replicated in the West."- Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "Eventually he formed the International Institute of Biophysics (IIB), composed of fifteen groups of scientists from international centers all around the world, including prestigious institutions like CERN in Switzerland; Northeastern University in the United States; Institute of Biophysics Academy of Science in Beijing, China; and Moscow State University in Russia. By the early twenty-first century, the IIB numbered at least forty distinguished scientists from around the globe. Could it be that these were the frequencies that mediated healing?" - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |

 "The white loquat is only available in the last weeks of May in Suzhou, china. The cannibal tomato is used in Polynesian headhunter sauce. The butter fruit is a creamy fruit best enjoyed in the Philippines, as is the yellow, lycheelike alupag and the kalmon. According to Florence Strange, when opened, the kalmon "reveals a beautifully spiraled gelatinous center with tentacles radiating out from the top."

The patients took the maitake extract before meals, four times per day. The results were highly gratifying with a 95.83 percent success rate against solid tumors and 90.91 percent among the leukemia patients. The total effectiveness rate for overall immune enhancement was rated by the researchers at 86.67 percent."- Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "One example is a study performed at Zhejiang University in china, which found that oil of ginger decreased total T lymphocytes and T-helper cells in mice, while increasing the percentage of T-suppressor cells to total T lymphocytes. In plain English, this means that ginger supplementation helped to modulate immune activity in a beneficial direction, suggesting usefulness in control of chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) |
 "Due to urban sprawl and the construction of roads and factories, 37 million acres of China's cultivated land have already been converted to nonagricultural use. Of the remaining 247 million acres one-tenth is highly polluted, one-third is suffering from water loss and soil erosion, one-fifteenth is salinized, and nearly 4 percent is in the process of turning into a desert.
Worldwide, 12 to 17 million acres of cropland are lost per year. If this process continues, some 741 million acres will be lost by mid-century, leaving 6.67 billion acres to support 8 to 9 billion people—no more than 0."- Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "China, Japan, and other Asian countries, are captives of America's fiscal policy. This trend cannot unfold indefinitely: the financial imbalance is growing toward untenable dimensions. The International Monetary Fund's Economic Outlook noted in 2005 that it is no longer a question whether the world's economies will adjust, only how they will adjust. If measures are unduly delayed, the adjustment could be "abrupt," with hazardous consequences for global trade, economic development, and international security." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "Subsequent innovations—including the invention of the alphabet and the number system, the means of communication over vaster distances, and the stratification of societies from the tribal circle of elders to the hierarchically organized state—transformed groups of Neolithic pastoral-agrarian communities into the vast archaic empires of Babylonia, Egypt, India, and china." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "France, Germany, Russia, and china form a coalition to balance what they perceive as growing U.S. military-economic hegemony, joined by Brazil, India, South Korea, and other developing countries. • Global military spending experiences a sharp rise, as the U.S. and its allies and the opposing bloc countries enter the spiral of an arms race. • Global economic stagnation combined with U.S. unilateralism weakens the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) |

| "Father Athana-sius Kircher, in 1667, noted that pineapples have "such an excellent taste that the nobility of china and India prefer it to anything else."
Following the monarchs' lead, fruits became an aristocratic indulgence. In 1698, Francis Misson de Valbourg wrote that, "Fruit is brought only to the Tables of the Great, and of the small Number even among them." Fruits were a demarcation between the upper classes and the lumpen proles. Haughty gentry used to carry around perfumed and spiced fruits called pomanders as a way of warding off nasty street odors." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
 "For centuries, china monopolized not only silk manufacture, but consumption. Silk did not become a significant item of trade with the west until the first century b.c.e., simultaneous with, and possibly as a result of, the increased political importance of steppe nomads.7 As the great nomadic confederation known as the Hsiung-nu [or Xiongnu] became increasingly successful in raiding more settled Chinese territories to the east, the Chinese empire became amenable to the idea of paying them to stop."- William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) |
| "The addictive fruit of the poppy plant was at the heart of Britain's opium wars with china. The nineteenth-century Maoris, who eradicated the Moriori in the Chatham Islands, went there because they heard it was the land of the karaka berry. In Scandinavia, battles that erupt between cloudberry harvesters in Finland, Sweden and Norway have caused foreign affairs ministries to set up departments for "cloudberry diplomacy."
Fruits aren't what they seem." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
 "A parallel tradition arose in china, where the wealthy wore nail polish fashioned from beeswax, gelatin, gum Arabic, and egg whites, and only the nobility were allowed to paint their nails gold and silver, which signified the wealth of precious metals.
By 500 B.C., Greek women were applying lead and chalk powder to their faces and crushed mulberries as rouge. Roman women later adopted these practices and added the use of red lipstick made from ochre clays. "A woman without paint is like food without salt," wrote the Roman playwright Plautus (254-184 B.C."- Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "This initiative, like China's, is intended to attract major global players and investments, and allow ASEAN countries' products to compete internationally. In Japan, prior to April 1, 2003, cosmetics were regulated under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (PAL) by the Pharmaceutical and Safety Bureau, under the authority of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Beginning in 2003, however, cosmetics were effectively de-regulated and responsibility shifted from the ministry to industry. Abolition of the PAL has thus effectively harmonized the Japanese and U.S. markets." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "The FDA quickly got involved, issuing an alert to retailers and consumers and stepping up its scrutiny of personal care products made in china. Under the brand names of Excel and Cool, the oversea manufacturer had substituted diethylene glycol, known as DEG, for a more expensive chemical normally used as a sweetener and thickening agent. The syrupy DEG constituted up to 4 percent of each toothpaste tube's overall weight. But according to an FDA statement, "it does not belong in toothpaste even in small concentrations" because it can lead to organ failure and death." - Samuel S.

Fats Domino got his thrills on blueberry hill." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
 "Campbell, authors of The china Study succinctly sum up the results of their groundbreaking research in the field of nutrition science: "The people who eat the most animal protein have the most heart disease, cancer and diabetes." Not surprisingly, they recommend a whole foods, plant-based diet. Their research indicates that "the lower the percentage of animalbased foods that are consumed, the greater the health benefits?even when that percentage declines for 10% to 0% of calories."- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) |
 "Germany, India, china, throughout South or Central America, places like New Zealand, Japan and Eastern Europe. Really, only the U.S. and the U.K. are steeped in this mindset of drugs and surgery. All the other countries in the world, and the people who live in them, practice alternative medicine as their primary choice, because it's affordable, it works and it's proven.
China has a history of 5,000 years of medicinal wisdom using functions of the body and the fundamentals of nature, such as wind, earth, fire and water."- Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) |
