"In his book River Dreams: The Case of the Missing General and Other Adventures in Psychic Research, Dale relates a story of working with a woman named diane on their first long-distance remote viewing project. In the course of the experimental process, diane reports "a crazy dream" in which she becomes lucidly aware on a Saturday night. Remembering that he had a lucid dream on the same night, Dale asks for the details. diane pulls out her typewritten sheet with her lucid dream: Suddenly I am aware that I am high in the sky! Nothing is holding me up and I begin falling toward the ground." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"She feels that her mother deprived her in every important way, preferring her sister, withholding affection, insisting on academic perfection, caring more about what the neighbors thought than about Diane's needs, striking diane on occasion. diane circumvented her mother's control by getting fat, and she remains fat in defiance." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "It might be important for diane to disavow her mother's treatment of her, but there's a big difference between standing against mistreatment and shutting the door to relationship if the other person can't act with civility, versus staying in a rage because of that mistreatment. diane certainly can't hurt her dead mom by staying fat herself. The rage that she harbors keeps peace, success, and satisfaction always at bay for her. Unlike diane, not everyone who stays overweight to get revenge has issues with their family." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "She feels that her mother deprived her in every important way, preferring her sister, withholding affection, insisting on academic perfection, caring more about what the neighbors thought than about Diane's needs, striking diane on occasion. diane circumvented her mother's control by getting fat, and she remains fat in defiance." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"Because she is sugar sensitive, Diane's behavior "brakes" don't always work. If diane had the body chemistry of a normal person, her brain would have an adequate level of serotonin, which would enable her to recognize the message to "eat bread now" as impulsive behavior (as opposed to actual hunger) and not act on it. But because Diane's serotonin levels are naturally low, there is less flowing between her brain cells." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"He was interviewed by diane Sawyer for about three minutes, and then diane had Detwiler on from Montpelier. Diane Sawyer questioned Detwiler, "Let me ask you point-blank. Are you saying that these tests show there is a form of mad cow disease in this country in these sheep?" "Yes, we are," Detwiler replied. "We're saying that we stand behind the test results." That afternoon Detwiler continued her smear campaign by hosting a "press conference" in Montpelier." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.)

"In the course of the experimental process, diane reports "a crazy dream" in which she becomes lucidly aware on a Saturday night. Remembering that he had a lucid dream on the same night, Dale asks for the details. diane pulls out her typewritten sheet with her lucid dream: Suddenly I am aware that I am high in the sky! Nothing is holding me up and I begin falling toward the ground. I look down and see a huge mountain. I can see gullies and slopes. I look up and see something like a parachute, but I am not attached to it. The parachute has many colors." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"The case was brought by diane and Melvin Cassidy, of Monroeville, who in July 2000 picketed outside Lilly's corporate headquarters in Indianapolis, handing out fliers proclaiming, "Lilly, how many people are maimed or dead on your drug today?" The Cassidys' lawsuit, filed in federal court in Pittsburgh, charged that diane Cassidy's doctor prescribed the antidepressant Prozac to her for weight loss and that the drug caused suicidal thoughts that led her to slash her wrists and overdose on a painkiller." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"After a period of time, diane became more assertive and sought counselling, gaining support to help her cope with her difficulties. diane now suffers fewer asthma attacks, feels stronger in herself and more capable of coping with her husband. A second example is that of Michelle, a sixteen-year-old girl, who had the very common symptoms of extreme tiredness, irritability, pre-menstrual tension, constipation and asthma with severe wheezing." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"She often talks about wanting to lose weight, but when she goes out to a restaurant one evening and bread appears on the table while she is waiting for her dinner to be served, her resolve evaporates. diane has low levels of serotonin, the neurotransmitter which puts the brakes on impulses. Because she is sugar sensitive, Diane's behavior "brakes" don't always work." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"She got another benefit from increasing her level of serotonin: her feelings of irritability, isolation and depression were quieted as well. diane didn't understand how all this worked in her brain. She didn't have a clue about the serotonin action. And she didn't need to. She just felt more in control of her life and her behavior. Diane's brain knew exactly what it was doing, though: more serotonin equals impulse control and better feelings." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"And last, we would both like to thank our agent, Gail Ross, and her colleague Howard Yoon for introducing us to the world of book publishing, and to Sheila Curry Oakes and diane Reverand at St. Martin's Press for their commitment to our idea and their wise editing advice." - 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.)

"Because single mother, diane Booth refused the ADHD-rationalized poisoning of her only child Vincent, six, Judge Leonard P. Edwards, of San Jose, made him a ward of the court and a full-time psychiatric in-patient. Nor has diane seen him in the 5 years since. Loving, adoptive parents Linda and Robert Gale of Wilmington, North Carolina, were stripped of their adopted daughter, Angela, 12, and she, from them, over their refusal of psychiatric diagnosis and treatment. Another court-ordered kidnapping." - Fred A. Baughman, Jr., M.D. and Craig Hovey, The ADHD Fraud: How Psychiatry Makes "Patients" of Normal Children (Get the book.)

"Unlike diane, not everyone who stays overweight to get revenge has issues with their family. Sometimes people want to get back at someone in their life now—a child, a rejecting lover, a spouse. I have a patient who wants her husband to stop smoking because she has asthma. He quits for a while and then starts again. Each time he takes up smoking, she puts on forty pounds to punish him. What message does this send to her husband about how much she really values her own health? You'll never win the battle by using your body for revenge." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"Urban African American women over forty bear a marked excess risk of obesity and death from heart disease," commented diane M. Becker, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Promotion. "This study demonstrates that church-based interventions can greatly improve their cardiovascular health." Magnesium: The Antistress Mineral We discussed magnesium earlier (chapter 6) and how it relaxes arteries, lowers blood pressure, and promotes cellular energy. We reintroduce this vital mineral again in the context of its totally overlooked importance in counteracting stress. Stress can kill." - 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.)

"Richard Race, Darwin Ernst, and diane Sutton, "Individually, none of the expected microscopic lesions, which include neuronal degeneration, neuronal vacuolation, astrocytosis, and spongiform degeneration, is pathogenic for TSE." (And diane Sutton worked for the USDA in Ames, Iowa, at the laboratory that tested this ewe.) If all three changes are identified, an animal is considered "suspect," and additional confirmatory tests are run. If all the changes are not observed, the animal is declared negative for any TSEs. As would be expected, Mr." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.)

"Many people have testified to the effectiveness of Dr Bach's series of preparations. diane, a patient in her fifties, experienced crippling asthma attacks. Not only did she suffer chronic asthma but also extreme anxiety, nervousness, depression and fear. This was caused by her husband, who came home intoxicated most nights and would fly into fits of rage. This behaviour had continued for years. Bach flower preparations of olive, gorse, centuary and agrimony were chosen to allay her fear and anxiety." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Acupuncturist and author diane Connelly says "all sickness is home sickness," meaning that when we are not at home with ourselves or not living according to our own true nature, the energy becomes contradictory causing misalignment or vulnerability. "SEEING" THE ENERGY BODY Many years ago I dreamed I was shaking a bunch of dice and had rolled them out onto the floor. The dice were letters that formed words. The words formed a sentence, but there was a key word missing. It spelled out, "Seeing is not looking with your_." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"These links, which have been carefully documented by author and autism expert diane Kennedy, include the following: THE ADHD-AUTISM LINKS Autism-Spectrum Traits ADHD Traits • Poor social skills; verbosity, inability to be empathetic. • Low awareness of physical danger. • Tantrums, outbursts. • Overactivity in some people, lethargy in others. • Poor eye contact. • Work can be careless and sloppy. • Tendency to have poor gross and fine motor skills, including messy handwriting, awkward gait, and a lack of coordination. • Resistance to change, and clinging to routine." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"The Cassidys' lawsuit, filed in federal court in Pittsburgh, charged that diane Cassidy's doctor prescribed the antidepressant Prozac to her for weight loss and that the drug caused suicidal thoughts that led her to slash her wrists and overdose on a painkiller. She suffered intracranial bleeding from the painkiller, which left her paralyzed on one side and mentally impaired, according to the lawsuit, which sought $4.84 million in tangible damages. The Cassidys were represented by Houston trial lawyer Andy Vickery, who has negotiated settlements of several Prozac cases against Lilly." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"In the middle of the last century, it became obvious that with this drug there was significant potential for dependence, abuse, and death, particularly among depressed, repressed mid-century housewives and such famous '60s and '70s icons as party girl Edie Sedgwick, guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, sex symbol Marilyn Monroe, singer Judy Garland, photographer diane Arbus, and the beautiful actresses Inger Stevens and Jean Seberg, among others. Celebrity usage (including deliberate suicide) is one reason why the history of Luminal is tinged with undeserved glamour." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"According to diane Morris, PhD, nutrition consultant to the Flax Council of Canada, clinical studies show that eating between 2 and 6 tablespoons of ground flaxseed daily for as little as 4 weeks lowers blood cholesterol 6 to 9 percent and LDL cholesterol by 9 to 18 percent.

Enjoy almonds." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"One night at the dinner table diane started to tell her husband about some of her ideas. He listened impatiently and told her she was unrealistic. "You don't know what you're talking about," he told her flatly. He shot down every one of her theories. She expected him to be loving and supportive, giving her the benefit of his experience. Instead he was critical and impatient. Diane didn't sleep at all that night. The next morning something was beginning to burn within her. Suddenly she had a strong desire: to prove him wrong." - Ray Dodd, BeliefWorks: The Art of Living Your Dreams (Get the book.) "As we talked the problem through, diane discovered something she had never noticed before. She was angry. Really angry. Her husband was an executive at a biotechnology firm. They both had a similar education, but right after they were married she became pregnant, had twins, and stayed home to raise them. When the twins entered high school, she started feeling like she wanted to get back into the business world. She was brimming with ideas. One night at the dinner table diane started to tell her husband about some of her ideas. He listened impatiently and told her she was unrealistic." - Ray Dodd, BeliefWorks: The Art of Living Your Dreams (Get the book.)

"Though unplanned, diane and Dale both report remarkably similar lucid dreams on the same night with a high level of corresponding details. While the lucid dreamers don't actually identify the other person as they fall toward the mountains, they both remark that someone seems to be falling with them. With the enhanced awareness of lucid dreaming, tantalizing possibilities for mutual dream exploration arise." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"At those hearings, California Representative diane E. Watson said that she had been taking Avandia for diabetes and developed a heart murmur from the drug. She told FDA Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach, a witness before the Committee, "My doctor said, 'Get off of Avandia—there are other options out there."' She criticized von Eschenbach for not including a heart attack warning on the Avandia label, stating, "you ought to have [the word] heart attack on the label, and I believe I was heading toward just that when I went to my physician." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

"She just felt more in control of her life and her behavior. Diane's brain knew exactly what it was doing, though: more serotonin equals impulse control and better feelings. Later, you'll learn how to increase your serotonin (and your beta-endorphin) by changing the foods you eat and doing other things like exercising, meditating or praying, laughing and even having good sex! Cleaning Up and Regulating the System After a neurotransmitter hits its receptor and passes its message along, it floats back into the space between brain cells and is available to hit the receptors again." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"Diane Meier, a palliative care specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital, in Manhattan, makes the point that physicians who throw lots of procedures and tests at their patients are merely doing what they've been taught. Beginning in their first year of school, young medical students learn that they will "see one, do one, teach one," an expression that conveys the importance of apprenticeship in medicine. One day, a first-year resident watches a third-year resident slip a three-inch needle into a patient's chest, just under the collarbone, to insert a central line." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)
