"I'm also in discussion with deepak chopra and his Alliance for New Humanity to create an intention experiment to lower conflict in one of the hot spots in the world. Several companies have come forward to request that we run an intention experiment within their organizations to lower absenteeism. We'll also examine further whether a critical mass of people is needed in group intention or whether it works best when participants occupy the same physical space. When you conduct a scientific study, you roam across new terrain a little aimlessly without a compass." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Molecules of Emotion, says that "EFT is at the forefront of the new healing movement," and deepak chopra has said "EFT offers great healing benefits." The premise of EFT is based on the idea that there are energy pathways throughout the body (similar to the meridians in acupuncture) and that if this energy is not flowing well, health is negatively affected. In this way it does indeed share a similar philosophical underpinning with acupuncture. In EFT, you stimulate these meridians (or energy pathways) with fingertips instead of needles." - 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.)

"THE BODY'S DETOX METHODS In Deepak Chopra's Magical Mind, Magical Body: Mastering the Mind/Body Connection for Perfect Health and Total Weil-Being, the author points out some amazing facts about our body's capacity to heal itself. Quantum physicists have proven that 98 percent of the atoms in your body are replaced within one year. In three months your body produces an entirely new skeleton. Every six weeks, all the cells have been replaced in your liver. You have a new stomach lining every five days. You are continually replacing old blood cells with new ones." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Perhaps the best known advocate of Era III medicine is physician and best-selling author deepak chopra.6 In allopathic medicine—the system of conventional medicine that is taught in most medical schools and that most people use?integrative health care has come to refer to the practice of using both conventional and complementary healing approaches, something that more allopathic physicians have come to accept—or at least tolerate?because millions of their patients are using complementary therapies even while they seek conventional medical care." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Quantum Healing by deepak chopra explores the fundamental principles of mind-body healing and helps explain how the body can heal itself. An abridged version of this text is also available on audiotape.

"Moises in Rome with deepak chopra. Moises in Bogota with Shakira. All the notables in politics and culture were there in the photos. He had been a tireless advocate of his people, trying to educate the Younger Brothers about the Law of Origin—the Arhuaco worldview—and its relevance to our behavior today. I was soon to learn that Arhuaco men, like Hassidic Jews and the Torah, like Tom Cruise on Oprah, liked nothing better than to urge you to change your ways and see the world as they do. Moises was not surprised to have me show up at his house unannounced after several years of silence." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)

"And according to deepak chopra, M.D., it helps reduce heartburn and improve digestion. You can make a great cup of tea by boiling the seeds and letting them steep—it's frequently used that way to aid digestion. The essential oil of the seeds is antimicrobial. Plus cumin is a good source of iron—1 tablespoon has almost 4 mg. It also contains 22 mg of magnesium, 107 mg of potassium, and 56 mg of calcium. 70 CO tn tn o m tn > z o n O a 5 m z In Garlic V" Garlic is a global remedy.

"Chopra Meditation Experiment In a less prominent, but no less significant, experiment, renowned healer and teacher, deepak chopra, describes the following experimentation. Several thousand people gathered for the purpose of meditating in a group environment. Each person in the group had their serotonin levels measured prior to the long meditation session. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain. Its presence in higher amounts is consistent with a feeling of calmness. The higher the serotonin level, the calmer and more peaceful you become." - Richard, Dr. DiCenso, Beyond Medicine, exploring a new way of thinking (Get the book.)

"They tend to be "great technicians and lousy healers," as deepak chopra says, and I agree with Deepak's assessment. Dr. Andrew Weil even calls his colleagues—doctors—"nutritionally illiterate." He's right in that—doctors are generally nutritionally illiterate. They have almost no understanding of the role of phytonutrients in healing, and they do not recognize or use the healing power of foods to help patients create a healing result. Instead, they often turn to drugs, which are more dangerous than healing foods. They don't work as well and they're far more expensive." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"There were also books that linked Eastern philosophy with modern physics, such as Fritjof Capra's The Tao of Physics, and Deepak Chopra's Quantum Healing. Both these books struck a deep chord in me. Most of us were unable to leave our practices for three months to travel to China. Instead, we joined forces, and invited world experts in acupuncture to give small workshops on deeper aspects of Chinese medicine. In 1990, we invited Dr. Anita Cignolini from Milan. Anita was a world authority on Zang Fu, the Mind-Body-Spirit connections of our organ systems." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)

"Doctor Andrew Weil, deepak chopra, and Dr. Gary Null are regarded as legitimate, credible authorities on health, nutrition, and alternatives to drugs and surgery. Did you know, however, that they all sell and have financial interests in various nutritional products? If Dr. Weil said do not take coral calcium, but rather buy this calcium that I sell, it's much, much better, how do you know that what he says is something he actually believes to be true or rather is he just trying to sell you something and make a profit?" - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"The concept was introduced to America in the book Quantum Healing: Exploring the Frontiers of Mind/Body Medicine by Dr. deepak chopra more than fifteen years ago. Dr. Chopra is an endocrinologist who's also taught at Tufts and Boston University Medical Schools who became fascinated with the amazing recoveries of patients given a short time to live. In the 1980s he returned to India to learn about Ayurveda (see Ayurveda listing). Returning to the U.S. he combined this ancient knowledge with neuroscience and Western medicine to develop a new understanding of the different levels of healing." - Alan E. Smith, UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"At the deepak chopra Center, they routinely give ginger as a remedy for people with cold hands and feet, something that Chinese and Indian physicians have done for eons. WORTH MENTIONING Ginger has very few side effects, but there are a couple of precautions to be aware of. It's possible that ginger increases the absorption of other drugs, but we don't really know for sure. If you give ginger to an animal at the same time as you give him a barbiturate, he sleeps longer (no, I never tried this at home, but it's in the literature!)." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"The lecture texts read as a kind of self-help—popular science hybrid cross between deepak chopra and Carl Sagan. The take-home lesson was simple: American buildings, private and public, are overheated, underventilated breeding grounds of ill health, places where disease and disability fester. Victorian hygienists often invoked the Black Hole of Calcutta as the ultimate example of adequate ventilation denied." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"Today, there is growing interest in these unconventional techniques and theories because science is beginning to discover that although chemistry has been wildly successful at explaining many of the mechanisms of the body, it is not adequate by itself to the task of explaining the integrative workings of the body." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"In Ayurvedic medicine, sage is considered a purifying herb. deepak chopra recommends it for "excessive accumulation of toxic, morbid emotions." On top of that, it also smells great! Sage probably got its reputation as a purifying herb because, along with its sisters in the mint family, it has antimicrobial and antiviral activities. Why? Because of its volatile oil. Oil of sage contains a compound called thujone, an effective agent against both salmonella and Candida. Sage also contains the phenolic acid rosmarinic acid, which is both an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"Deepak Chopra, M.D., among y ^ . others, is widely used by practitioners in a number of inte- grative practices. According to a study released by Ohio State University in 2005, based on research from the University of Michigan and the National Institute on Aging, 71 percent of adults over the age of fifty use alternative therapies, and 62 percent of all adults do. Medical centers throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia have integrative medical clinics." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"It has a really pleasing taste and a beautiful color, and it tastes good on almost any food you can think of. deepak chopra says that "its traditional purifying effect makes it a useful spice for people participating in a detoxification program." In addition to cooking with it, you can also mix it into a paste with water and apply it directly to irritated skin (including pimples) before bedtime. Chopra also suggests mixing turmeric powder with a little honey and using the mixture to coat your throat at the first sign of a sore throat." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"Tapping this inner wisdom is vital because we're such an outer-based culture—always looking outside of ourselves for the answers. deepak chopra teaches that we must learn self-referral. Without it, we always have outside influences telling us what we should think and how we should feel and what we should do. Learning to go inside to hear the answers, to connect with our wisdom and our own divinity, opens the door to knowledge. Listening inwardly is essential if we are going to shift. Compassion is the key." - APC Books, Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves: The Power of change Within to Change the World (Get the book.)
