"It goes like this: chinese Americans with lymphatic cancer who were born in "earth years"—and consequently were deemed by chinese medical theory to be especially susceptible to diseases involving lumps, nodules, or tumors—had an average age at death of 59.7 years. By contrast, age at death of chinese Americans born in other years, and nonetheless diagnosed with lymphoma, was 63.6 years. Anglo Americans who have lymphoma were not subject to these calendar effects.' Much of the research in this chapter reminds us of Believe it or not!" - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Also avoid Thai restaurants; they cook with large amounts of sugar. chinese restaurants do as well, but may be willing to hold the sugar if asked. You will be surprised at how different many chinese dishes taste if cooked without sugar. Many people who are sugar sensitive love sushi and tell me how healthy it is. Remember that the rice served with sushi is held together with a sugar binder. No wonder we love it so much! So go to Japanese restaurants, but order fewer California rolls; have less rice and more fish." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"In Asia, North Korea opens up to the world and the entire Asian region is awash in trade and economic exchange. chinese farmers are once again busy providing food for themselves and other regions and getting good prices. The communities in the interior are developing new revenue sources. The success of the chinese economic engine is spreading out to benefit not only the country's own citizens of all stratum, but those in neighboring regions. At the same time the intense disregard for the environment that was a hallmark of chinese economic growth is addressed and corrected." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.)

The stigmatization and despair such Many years ago, a vigorous older patient of mine, a professional actress, told me that old age had been a source of empowerment for her.

"Their friends brought over their own children to play with Anju's kids, and to eat some chinese take-out. Priya no longer had to be extraordinarily careful about what she ate, but she did need to avoid peanuts entirely. Because of that, they ordered take-out only from a particular chinese restaurant, where the chef knew about Priya's allergy, and never gave them anything with peanuts. The chef always made a special egg roll, just for Priya. As the four parents were leaving, Priya said, "Mom, I can eat this egg roll, right?" "Sure." Right after they left, Anju got a call on her cell phone." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

The chinese have a long and rich herbal tradition, dating back some five thousand years.

"Reports from chinese expeditions referred to these tiny islands as the land of the immortals. Despite the ensuing years of chinese, and then Japanese, domination, a devastating world war, famines, and typhoons, Okinawa can still claim to be home to some of the world's longest-lived people. In February 2005,1 made my second journey to the Oki-nawan Blue Zone to research a story for National Geographic. I'd used Okinawa's incredible profile of longevity to convince the editors that there were indeed pockets of longevity around the world." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Energy The chinese call it Chi; the yogis of India call it Prana; here in the States, people call it Life Force. Whatever you call it, it can be seen, measured, photographed, felt, and manipulated. According to chinese medicine, restriction in its flow is the ultimate cause of all disease. Exercise stimulates and helps move this "energy" through blocked areas of the body. Biochemical Changes Exercise produces "happy" biochemicals called endorphins. Sometimes called "the runner's high," these endorphins drive away stress and depression and stimulate the immune system." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"For those in certain ethnic groups such as Native American, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and chinese, that projection may even be increased to one in two. African Americans and Latinos have about twice the risk of developing Type-2 diabetes. Type-2 diabetics are about three-four times more likely to develop clinical depression than non-diabetics. There is explicit hope for Type-2 diabetes being completely reversed in a relatively short time. The good news is that Type-2 diabetes is not necessarily a death sentence; rather, it is a benign disease if it is appropriately addressed." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "This undisputed scientific fact is confirmed by the China Study by T Colin Campbell and the epidemiological evidence of 6,500 chinese across 65 provinces. A meat-based protein is a poorer quality protein source than a plant-based protein, as evidenced by cancer data from that study showing that the more animal protein was consumed, the higher the rates of cancer. According to the Max Planck Institute, cooking coagulates approximately 50 percent of the protein, making the food less digestible, more coarse, and more inflammatory." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "According to the African Diabetes Federation: The prevalence of Type-2 diabetes is low in both rural and urban Bantu communities, but is ten times more prevalent in Muslim and Hindu communities in Tanzania and South Africa, and in the chinese community in Mauritius. Type-1 diabetes, while still rare, is becoming increasingly prevalent. [Diabetes prevalence is higher in urban, migrant and African-origin populations living abroad." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Coenzyme Qio is naturally found in foods, with the most significant dietary sources coming from vegetables such as broccoli, chinese cabbage, and spinach; nuts; ocean fish and shellfish; and meats, notably pork, chicken, and beef. Although it is widely available in the foods we eat, only about 2-5 mg per day are consumed, an insufficient amount to produce any substantial clinical benefit. Coenzyme Qio is also synthesized in all the tissues in the body. Cellular biosynthesis is the dominant source of coenzyme Qio in humans." - Stephen T.

"ISATIS ROOT AND LEAF_ Latin: Isatis tinctoria Chinese: Ban Ian gen (root) /. indigotica Da qing ye (leaves) WHAT IT DOES: Isatis root and leaf are bitter in taste and cold in action. They reduce fever and heat, cool the throat, and kill microbes. RATING: Red, due to safety issues SAFETY ISSUES: Should not be used for extended periods of time or in patients with severe weakness.

"A similar study was carried by out researchers at the National Yang Ming Medical College and National Research Institute of chinese Medicine in Taipei, Taiwan. In this instance, the Qigong master alternately sent positive and negative intention to boar sperm cells and human fibroblast cells, which make up the connective tissue of the body. After 2 minutes of negative intention, the growth rates and protein synthesis of the cells decreased dramatically by 22-53 percent." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Studies of the nature of the healing energy of chinese Qigong masters have provided evidence of the presence of photon emission and electromagnetic fields during healing sessions.22 These sudden surges of energy may be physical evidence of a healer's greater coherence - his ability to marshall his own quantum energy and transfer it to the less organized recipient. Elisabeth's study and the work of William Braud raised a number of profound implications on the nature of illness and healing. It suggested that intention on its own heals, but that healing is also a collective force." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "The idea of The Field might just offer a scientific explanation for many metaphysical notions, such as the chinese belief in the life force, or qi, described in ancient texts as something akin to an energy field. It even echoed the Old Testament's account of God's first dictum: 'Let there be light', out of which matter was created." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)
