"And we're supposed to believe that there is no connection between that and a child bouncing off the walls an hour later in school? Then the teacher decides that the child has something emotionally wrong with him and shouldn't 17 be in class unless he is under the influence of a medication to control himself. We have close to nine million children taking some form of psychoactive medication each day. Mid-morning, the kid goes out to a vending machine and gets more sugared, processed foods. By lunch time, there is almost always a toxic reaction—excito-toxins in the food are in the brain." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "She uses certain Asian herbs because "when we take serotonin drugs, we lose our connection with our own body and our own healing powers. Simply breathing in the light and sending out love opens up all our possibilities for self healing. There are other sources of serotonin—sunshine, bananas, the ions from the seashore—but herbs also can give us the natural warmth and grounding and centering." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "They should not walk around in pajamas or nightgowns because this maintains that connection to the bed and the bed means inactivity. That's the thing you're trying to overcome. Exercise may take the form of walking, walking the dog perhaps, or going outside to do some simple gardening. These are all very important for overcoming that feeling of lassitude that is so characteristic of depression. "Another benefit of exercise is a feeling of accomplishment. Even doing a little bit of exercise will make you feel more energized later on." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "The financial connection to a pharmaceutical company whose purpose was promoting sales of a controlled addictive substance was considered hidden advertising. Not until the spring of 2000 was a lawsuit on these matters filed. So clearly one just has to follow the money trail. "In the 1996 elections, Eli Lilly Company, manufacturers of Prozac, made over $770,000 in soft money contributions to prominently placed politicians. By 1996, there were already over 600,000 minors on Prozac and they had a well-honed advertising campaign targeting children ready to go." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"A network of glial cells tend to the nutritional and other INTERNEURON CONNECTIONS Axon (I) note the interneuron connections with (a), (b) and (c), but not (d) Axon (2) note the interneuron connection with (b), (c) and (d), but not (a) Neurons send instructions to areas of the brain for processing by forming interneuron connections. Only those connections needed are formed. We add new connections throughout life, as they are needed. needs of neurons. All of these brain structures rely on LCPs." - Marcia Zimmerman, C.N., The A.D.D. Nutrition Solution: A Drug-Free Thirty-Day Plan (Get the book.)

"What is the connection between money and the pharmaceutical industry? " Gerd Schaller: "This connection is very obvious, isn't it? I just quote from Bayer's 2001 company report: 'Lipobay? Baycol?was said to be one of the growth boosters of the pharmaceutical industry. Having been on the market since 1997, the anti-cholesterolemic has become a blockbuster in no time; at last the turnover forecast was € 2.5 billion a year. Worldwide, approximately 6 million people were on the Bayer product." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"But that may just be that we're seeing an increase in these diseases in the population as a whole, so I don't really see a definite connection. These are likely to be environmental triggers that we are unaware of as yet, but for now, the only kind of environmental connection with arthritis is smoking and rheumatoid arthritis in adults. Smoking has definitely been shown to be associated with increased risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis as an adult, as well as with having more severe disease." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"The great meteorologist described a highly complex set of interactions making up the El Nino-Southern Oscillation connection, known commonly as ENSO. With brilliant elegance, supported by convincing dynamic and thermodynamic reasoning, Bjerknes pulled together a number of critical elements into a new conceptual framework—the constant seesaw movements of the Southern Oscillation, the large-scale air and sea interactions that cause Pacific warming, and some much larger global teleconnections with climatic variations in North America and the Atlantic Ocean." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"It's that connection that plays out in our everyday lives, just as my two friends' loved ones demonstrate. While their stories illustrate the power that a belief can hold for one person, could that power run even deeper in a way that affects us all? Is it possible that, collectively, we share in a belief that's so common, and affects us on such a deep level, that it has actually established the limits of the human life span? And if so, can it be healed, and the limit changed? The answer to both of these questions is yes. The source of such a belief may surprise you. Do We Die Before Our Time?" - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "Although the research has shown an unmistakable correlation between our core beliefs and the health, vitality, and longevity of our bodies, it's also easy to misinterpret this kind of connection. It's all about the way that information is shared. On the one hand, I believe that no one wakes up one morning and consciously chooses to manifest a physical condition that will bring pain into their life and suffering to their loved ones. On the other hand, I also know beyond any reasonable doubt that by changing a belief, we can renew the health and vitality of our bodies." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "Belief-Waves: Speaking the Language of Atoms What follows is a flowchart that describes the general connection between energy, the atoms of reality, and belief. This will become the outline for us to explore each item in more detail and then to pull it all together in a way that's useful in our lives. Figure 4. A flowchart diagramming the relationship between our beliefs and the changes they create in the physical world. Clearly, science doesn't have all of the answers regarding precisely how our beliefs affect reality. If it did, we'd obviously be living in a very different world." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "Through the connection that joins all things, the experiments have now shown that we directly affect the waves and particles of the universe. In short, the universe responds to our beliefs. It is this difference—thinking of us as powerful creators rather than passive observers—that has become the crux of some of the greatest controversy among some of the greatest minds in recent history. The implications are absolutely staggering." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"This is true of all autoimmune diseases that have a vitamin D deficiency connection. The events that triggered your diabetes or MS are history that you can't change. However, you can improve glucose control, insulin sensitivity, and probably the frequency and intensity of MS attacks by correcting vitamin D after you develop the disease. In other words, optimizing vitamin D and diet will reduce your disease activity and/or slow progression of your disease." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "In part one we look at who needs vitamin D (hint: everyone), what vitamin D is, where it comes from, the connection between D and your diet, and how the Vitamin D Cure works. 8 Most of Us Need Way More Vitamin D Oharon came to see me because she was tired of feeling bad. She had diabetes and suffered from chronic pain and fatigue. Wintertime was especially hard because her depression was impossible to shake. No surprises for me, of course, because I see patients like Sharon every day in my clinic." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Michael Holick at Boston University confirmed the connection between UVB light and high blood pressure. When people with high blood pressure were exposed to enough UVB light to produce a 162 percent rise in vitamin D levels, their blood pressure dropped (both upper and lower numbers—systolic and diastolic). This didn't happen in the study participants who were exposed to UVA light only. What led to a drop in blood pressure was the vitamin D production UVB light had facilitated. Vitamin D supplementation works about the same way. When Dr." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"In terms of the jargon of acupuncture, this connection is known as "celestial stems and branches," denoting subtle energy connections between meridians and the cosmos. As homo sapiens conceptually evolve into homo spiritus, deoxyribonucleic acid may conceptually evolve into the divine noetic antenna. SAM may only be a DNA away. Is the Universe Intentional? Is God Evolving? Does This Hypothesis Make You Smile? This depends on whether you are open to SMILE." - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)

"The eyes, as the windows of our soul, show off this state of grace and our level of connection with ourselves. The eyes can also shine with true and real emotions. Even physically, the eyes are the point that is in the most direct touch with the brain (by optic chiasma, which is a part of the brain system). Working on rebalancing our eyes consequently leads to the autonomous nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic) rebalancing. Our homeostatic level as well as our inner equilibrium and the possibility of our being in a "high-quality" state depends on this fact." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"These are likely to be environmental triggers that we are unaware of as yet, but for now, the only kind of environmental connection with arthritis is smoking and rheumatoid arthritis in adults. Smoking has definitely been shown to be associated with increased risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis as an adult, as well as with having more severe disease." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Cave, who was one of the first clinicians in America to make the connection between autism and mercury (along with Sallie Bernard, Lyn Redwood, and a few others) has classified these shared symptoms as follows: SYMPTOMS OF AUTISM Compared with Those of Mercury Poisoning Symptom Autism Mercury Poisoning Movement j Clumsiness, slow physical Disorders j development, and j difficulty swallowing. Movement j Arm flapping repetitive Character- movements, abnormal gait, istics and walking on the toes.

"They emphasize the dynamic relationship among the individual, the healer, and the community as essential to a sense of connection and belonging that promotes the health of the individual and the community. To persons coping with dementia, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers this advice, which I quite agree with: "Because AD is such a devastating disease, caregivers and patients may be tempted by untried, unproven, unscientific cures, supplements, or prevention strategies." - 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.)

"You will also experience what thousands of our guests attest to: a unique, healthy foundation for living, a renewed connection with yourself, and a strong, unshakable sense of self-esteem and love for Self and all living beings, as well as for the living Earth. There are many ways by which our guests find the Tree of Life. Some people come to enhance and support their already healthy lifestyles and to ensure their healthy futures." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Classen presented more data further substantiating his findings of a vaccine-diabetes connection. He reported that the incidence of diabetes in Finland was stable in children under 4 years of age until the government made several changes in its childhood vaccination schedule. In 1974,130,000 children age 3 months to 4 years were enrolled in a vaccine experimental trial and injected with hepatitis B vaccine or meningococcal vaccine. Then, in 1976, the pertussis vaccine used in Finland was made stronger by adding a second strain of bacteria." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "The Culture of Death creates a hungry, empty soul experience, which we try to fill with food as a substitute for love and connection. The Culture of Life fills our souls with love. GLYCEMIC INDEX AND INSULIN INDEX A high-glycemic diet is one that includes any white sugar, any white flour, white rice, honey, maple syrup, alcohol, coffee, wheat, any junk food, and most fruit (some fruit, such as berries and cherries, is moderate to low on the glycemic index)." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "In this culture people have lost their soul connection. This is connected to the 80-90 percent obesity in diabetics, for as previously said, there is never enough food for a hungry soul. There is a food environment characterized by heavy marketing of excitotoxin-rich processed junk foods, refined carbohydrates such as white sugar and white flour with alloxan, heavy use of animal fats and trans fats, agrochemical-laden foods, and heavy-metal toxicity." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Because we want to get your attention; because it's true; because very few people realize or know about the interesting connection between accelerated aging and metabolic disease (including diabetes); and because we want to motivate you to take action today to prevent or reverse prediabetes or to better manage diabetes and prevent diabetic complications. No one wants to age any faster than he or she has to, and the information we share with you in this book has the added potential benefit of helping to slow down the aging process." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"Could there be a connection? Could the number of vaccines now recommended actually be contributing to the rise in children's chronic diseases like asthma, allergies, autism, autoimmune disease, diabetes, obesity, some cancers, and the growing epidemic of developmental disorders? Remember, in just twenty-four years, we've gone from fewer than ten vaccines to fifty vaccines, and there are more on the way. As the childhood health crisis worsens, more and more parents, and physicians, are starting to question the effect these vaccines might be having on our children's developing immune systems." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"It was a brilliant connection. It appeared to be one more piece of the baffling puzzle of the new childhood epidemics. Despite the promise of this important insight, though, Anju was receiving no government grants to pursue it, nor was she being offered any special support from Chicago's community of mainstream medicine. Anju, myself, and the other DAN doctors were, to a painful degree, engaged in this struggle by ourselves. We stood alone on a new frontier of medicine. As a parent, Anju was even more alone." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"It suggested that quantum particles once in contact retain a connection even when separated, so that the actions of one will always influence the other, no matter how far they get separated. Albert Einstein disparaged this 'spooky action at a distance', and it was one of the major reasons he so distrusted quantum mechanics, but it has been decisively verified by a number of physicists since 1982.4 Nonlocality shattered the very foundations of physics. Matter could no longer be considered separate. Actions did not have to have an observable cause over an observable space." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"The family gave us permission to install a high-speed wireless Internet connection and to convert the open-aired dining pavilion—a sheltered, bush-flanked slab of cement—into a longevity laboratory and video-production house. Each night we'd create reports and short videos for an online audience who'd track our progress and offer their insights. Our first recruit was Dr. Gianni Pes, who discovered with Michel the first Blue Zone in Sardinia. Like Michel, he was a careful, skeptical scientist, not inclined to jump to conclusions." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "Even a lack of a spouse or significant other could be compensated for by other forms of connection. A recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine showed just how powerful an immediate social network can be. Looking at a community of 12,067 people over a period of 32 years, researchers found that subjects were more likely to become obese when their friends became obese. In the case of close mutual friends, if one became obese, the odds of the other becoming obese nearly tripled. It seemed the same effect occurred with weight loss." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)
