"It's so promising that the cleveland clinic Taussig Cancer Center is currently running a multiple-dose trial of perillyl alcohol on healthy women who have a history of breast cancer. Cherry juice is another way to get the gout-relieving benefits of cherries. In my book The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth, I shared one of my favorite desserts: frozen cherries. (You can get them in almost any grocery.) I take them directly from the freezer, put them in a bowl, and mix them with raw milk or yogurt, which promptly freezes on the cold cherries, forming a kind of cherry-flavored sherbet." - 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.)

"This conclusion is based on a cleveland clinic study in which individuals took 2,000 mg the night before surgery and then 500 mg twice a day during their postoperative recovery. Cigarette smoke destroys vitamin C in the body, one of the means by which smoking promotes cardiovascular disease. Smokers thus have a greater need for vitamin C and consequently a more robust treatment benefit. Attention, Nitroglycerin Users Unhealthy endothelial cells don't make enough nitric oxide. That's why angina patients have been using nitroglycerin tablets for more than fifty years." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) "In this new study, headed by physicians at the cleveland clinic and funded by Crestor maker AstraZeneca PLC, two-thirds of the 349 study participants were reported to have had regression of plaque buildups. For the first time, a drug showed regression of plaque. The researchers based their finding on intracoronary ultrasound, a technique in which a tiny camera is inserted into the coronary artery. With this technology one can literally scan the inside of the artery and see the plaque load inside the vessel and determine whether there is buildup or regression." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Esselstyn, MD, at the cleveland clinic, as highlighted by T. Colin Campbell, PhD, in The China Study. Dr. Esselstyn's work proved that cardiovascular disease is a benign disease, and that reversing it completely is only possible when "everything in moderation" is left behind and a prudent diet of plant-source-only foods is applied. Diabetes, too, is a benign disease, and is therefore reversible when applying a Culture of Life cuisine and lifestyle. For many of us who are new to eating plant-source foods, this diet can seem unusual until we get used to it." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Esselstyn of the cleveland clinic. Dr. Esselstyn's study, published in the Journal of Family Practiced showed the reversal of cardiovascular disease with a 100 percent success rate among eighteen patients who followed a vegan diet with no cooked o*7.85 If you, or a friend or loved ones, have cardiovascular disease, the next two figures below may be the most important things you see in your life, and are resounding evidence of the need for a diet of plant foods. The second figure supporting the case for diet as the underlying cause or prevention for heart disease is found in Eat to Live by Dr." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Guang Yue, an exercise psychologist at cleveland clinic Foundation in Ohio, carried out research comparing participants who went to a gym with those who carried out a virtual workout in their heads. Those who regularly visited the gym were able to increase their muscle strength by 30 percent. But even those who remained in their armchairs and ran through a mental rehearsal of the weight training in their minds increased muscle power by almost half as much." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"According to the cleveland clinic Health Information Center, depression in the elderly may differ from that of the general population in several ways. It is often linked with other medical conditions. It tends to last longer. In addition, it "doubles their risk of developing cardiac disease, reduces their ability to rehabilitate, and increases their risk of death from illness." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Eric Topol, then the chairman of the Cleveland Clinic's department of cardiovascular medicine, called the studies "a contrived comparison." He said he found it "quite disquieting" that Scirex was partly owned by an advertising firm. "If this is where clinical research is headed," Dr. Topol said in 2002, "that would be a terrible negative trajectory." The Scirex study helped spur a boom in Bextra's sales. Prescriptions soared 60 percent in the three months after the trial was published. By 2004 Bextra was a billion-dollar drug." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) "In the summer of 2001 three cardiologists at the cleveland clinic, one of the top heart centers in the nation, reported that they had found that both Vioxx and Celebrex appeared to increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The three doctors focused more of their concern on Vioxx, however. In an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, they explained that the overall risk of heart attack when taking the drugs was low." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Prolonged cell phone use may damage sperm in male users, suggests a study by researchers at the cleveland clinic Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University, Ohio. The discovery was made during an ongoing study of 51,000 male health professionals in the United States. • Pregnant mothers, who use cell phones 2-3 times per day, are found to give birth to children with malfunctioning cells. Also young children exposed to cell phone radiation are found to develop serious growth problems." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"For instance, Deepak Vivekananthan, Mark Penn, Shelly Sapp, Amy Hsu, and Eric Topol from the cleveland clinic wrote in 2003 that "the use of vitamin supplements containing beta-carotenes and vitamin A, beta-carotene's biologically active metabolite, should be actively discouraged because this family of agents is associated with a small but significant excess of all cause mortality and cardiovascular death [i.e. death from any cause or death from heart disease]. We recommend that clinical trials of beta-carotene should be discontinued because of its risks ..." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"In a second study, this one from the cleveland clinic Foundation's department of cardiovascular medicine, arterial plaque was measured in 502 people with heart disease before and after 18 months of statin (cholesterol-lowering medication) use. The people who experienced the biggest CRP drop had the smallest growth of arterial plaque buildup; in some cases, plaque even regressed." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"A study at the famous cleveland clinic showed that zinc lozenges decreased the duration of colds by an impressive 50 percent. The Natural Standard database, one of the most respected sources of supplement and medical data I know of, rates the evidence of a positive effect for zinc on the immune system a very respectable B, meaning "strong scientific evidence." Considering that getting a B from the Natural Standard is like getting a B at Harvard, I'd say that's pretty good. Zinc possesses antiviral activity and will attack viruses that may cause the common cold." - 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.)

"In one fascinating study, investigators at the cleveland clinic found that a nutritional supplement enriched with both fish oil and antioxidants reduced reliance on traditional therapies for people with ulcerative colitis, and that patients taking this oral supplement were less likely to need steroid therapy. Other research shows that higher dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids is associated with a lowered risk of autoimmunity in children who are at genetic risk of type 1 diabetes. VITAMIN D." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "Research by scientists at the cleveland clinic and elsewhere have also shown that women and men naturally produce different levels of interferon-gamma and that higher levels of interferon-gamma can intensify the MS damage processes and make the disease worse. The fact that men have a lower frequency of the interferon-gamma genetic variant may be part of the reason why men are generally protected from MS. A PATIENT'S DIAGNOSTIC PORTRAIT Scientific discovery is often made up of many, many dots that together create a pointillist picture." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"In the words of Rupert Turnbull, a former surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic: "Inappropriate application of the method is no excuse for its abandonment!" Here, once again, is the basic message of my research: no one who achieves and maintains total blood cholesterol of 150 mg/dL and LDL levels below 80 mg/dL—using strict plant-based nutrition and, where necessary, low doses of cholesterol-reducing drugs— experiences progression of heart disease. Many, in fact, are able to rejoice at clear medical evidence that they have actually reversed the effects of their disease." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "Dick's cardiologists were concerned that any attempt at angioplasty or stenting could be fatal, and they scheduled an appointment for a bypass procedure with a leading cardiac surgeon at the cleveland clinic. As it happened, shortly after the angiogram Dick had read The China Study, T. Colin Campbell's brilliant work on nutrition and disease. He was interested in the chapters that described my work, and ultimately contacted me. On October 9, 2005, Dick and his wife, Rosalind, came to Cleveland for counseling." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "The late Lewis Thomas, a highly respected physician and revered medical philosopher, lectured at the cleveland clinic in 1986. He referred to the mechanical wizardry available in vascular disease— the angioplasties and bypass procedures—as "halfway technology." A mechanical approach to a metabolic, biochemical epidemic, he argued, was not the answer. Dr. Thomas further cautioned that there would be a moral and ethical challenge to physicians down the road: to relinquish this halfway technology in favor of simpler, safer metabolic and biochemical cures. The time is now." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "Richard Brunken and Ray Go of the cleveland clinic Department of Nuclear Radiology and Dr. Kandice Marchant of the clinic's Department of Pathology. The results, shown in Figures 8, 9, 10, and n (see insert), confirm the ability of plant-based nutrition, in conjunction with cholesterol-reducing medication, to reperfuse— restore blood flow to—the heart muscle previously deprived of adequate circulation. I emphasize that this is not a case of the development of collaterals, naturally occurring bypasses, which take months or years to appear." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Steven Nissen is a cardiologist on the staff of the cleveland clinic who assumed the role of director of the clinic's contracted drug trials enterprise from Eric Topol after the latter became embroiled in the Vioxx controversy about which we have much to say in later chapters. Nissen and Wolski (2007) undertook a meta-analysis of forty-two treatment trials and concluded that rosiglitazone increased the risk of myocardial infarction. At the end of the paper, Nissen declares receiving research support from no fewer than seven pharmaceutical firms, absent GSK." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) "No doubt he has "skills" in this regard that appealed to the cleveland clinic, a nonprofit foundation that generates nearly $4 billion in annual revenues and boasts a 15,000-square-foot "innovation center" to help its researchers with commercial development. Topol was chief academic officer and sat on the clinic's "conflict-of-interest" committee and board of governors. Topol made himself available to the plaintiff's bar in the pursuit of a remedy from Merck for purveying Vioxx without revealing its potential for cardiotox-icity." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"One such study, done at the cleveland clinic, concluded that Nexium "demonstrates significantly greater efficacy than [Prilosec] in the treatment of GERD patients with erosive esophagitis." It sounds as though doctors should abandon Prilosec and start prescribing the newer Nexium. The catch is that the dose of Nexium used in the study was 40 mg, but the dose of Prilosec was only half of that. Would 40 mg of Prilosec daily work as well as 40 mg of Nexium daily? The drug company never bothered to find out. Does 20 mg of Nexium work better than 20 mg of Prilosec?" - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Just look at the cleveland clinic Foundation and Topol's new clothes (Diamond 2006). Or, contemplate whether a physician who is paid (directly or indirectly) to recruit and enroll patients into a drug trial is compromised to serve as their treating (advising) physician (Morin et al. 2002; Miller et al. 1998). Palumbo and Mullins (2002) detail the history of prescription-drug advertising. Total spending on pharmaceutical promotion grew from $11.4 billion in 1996 to $29.9 billion in 2005." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"The Lahey Clinic, in Boston, and the cleveland clinic are two more. All the evidence suggests that these groups are more likely than doctors in solo practice or small groups to use evidence-based medicine and employ information technology to deliver more-effective care. Another model is the hospital chain that employs physicians. Intermountain Healthcare owns twenty-one hospitals and clinics and employs twenty-one thousand people, including its doctors." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "The story began by describing the case of Mike Fackelmann, a registered nurse at the cleveland clinic. Fackelmann "had no reason to think he had heart disease. Although his cholesterol was a touch on the high side, he had never experienced any chest pains and had just passed a stress test with flying colors." Even so, he agreed to serve as a guinea pig in a demonstration of the clinic's new sixty-four-slice scanner. The image revealed a partial blockage in one of his coronary arteries." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Topol was succeeded at cleveland clinic by Steven Nissen, whose Avandia meta-analysis is discussed in the supplementary reading for chapter 3. Although the fda houses many a committed and honorable staffer, it is clear that its approach to safeguarding the consumer is a blunt instrument in the current climate. Reeling from the coxib canard, the fda turned to the Institute of Medicine (iom) in 2005. The iom is the most politicized of the National Academies of Science in that members can be anointed based on academic power rather than scholarly accomplishment." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Eric Topol, chairman of the department of cardiovascular medicine at The cleveland clinic. The case for using aspirin immediately after bypass surgery has been proven by a number of studies showing major benefits, Topol says, but there has been a debate about its use before surgery because the data has been mixed about whether aspirin creates a bleeding hazard. The Mayo study shows that "the bleeding hazard doesn't appear to be in any way prohibitive," Topol says." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.) "Sessler, chairman of the department of outcomes research at The cleveland clinic Foundation. "Now that two large studies, with a total of800 patients, clearly indicate that supplemental oxygen is beneficial, we expect that it will become common practice. Consequently, fewer patients will suffer wound infections." Windsor agrees that there is little risk to the practice. However, ifapatienthasdamagedlungs, he suggests using the lowest possible amount of oxygen. Even then, the oxygen would have to be given for many hours—or even days—to pose any real danger. Sessler concurs. " - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)
