"The children in Roseto have a chance for a good education, but it is hard to live in Roseto if you acquire a specialized education. All Rosetans have a higher goal, but old people want to keep things the way they are used to.12 In 1963, reading the writing on the wall, Wolf made a bold prediction: if the new generation of Rosetans did indeed abandon the ways of the "old people," Roseto would cease to be a haven from heart disease. It did not take many years before he had the opportunity to test his hypothesis." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"Here's a thumbnail sketch of her life since ending her twenty-six-year tenure as a special education teacher. She: • Mentors kids a half day a week. • Facilitates an Equity Program for children that she developed. • Consults on educational strategies for second-language students around the country. • Performs the one-woman show she wrote about her brush with death. • Writes a series of novels for teenagers from other countries who are newly arrived in the United States. • Serves on the board of an organization that helps disenfranchised kids." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"Unless your doctor has made a point of getting his own nutritional education, either academically or in continuing education seminars and workshops throughout the country, you can pretty much assume he knows next to nothing about nutrition. In fact, he gets his information from the same place you do: the media. He learns about supplements and vitamins from watching Sanja Gupta on CNN or reading New York Times nutrition columnist Jane Brody, an establishment apologist who seems to have never encountered an "official position" she didn't like." - 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.)

"It provides education about what the body requires in order to be healthy. The ensuing steps, of making positive changes in our lives and continuing with our health education, are up to us. This venture is the most interesting, exciting, and rewarding discovery I have made in my life. I hope it will be for you as well. BREAKING THROUGH OUR CONDITIONING Ignorance is defined as "not knowing." As we break into knowledge or "knowing," the first step is realizing that "we don't know that we don't know." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Her doctoral thesis based on that research, Food education in the Elementary Classroom, won numerous awards and international attention. Demas now heads the Food Studies Institute, a nonprofit organization, based in Trumansburg, which is devoted to the long-term health and education of children.

"Are physical appearance, education, position, wealth or social upbringing the really important things in life? Her conclusion was that the most important factor in life is a person's mental outlook and their conduct and communication with other people. The book had such an impact on Josie that it prompted a dramatic change in her attitude to herself. She is now a much happier and relaxed person and rarely has an attack of asthma. So from now on do things you enjoy, make you happy, make you laugh, make you feel good about yourself." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"While this scenario is often followed even today, education and the Internet have begun changing the doctor-patient relationship. A few years ago, a fifty-two-year-old pilot went for his annual physical exam and had his blood checked for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Although standard medical texts (and insurance companies) do not endorse using PSA as a screen for prostate cancer, it is well known that patients with prostate cancer often have elevated levels of PSA. So when the pilot's PSA rose from normal levels of 1.1 and 1.6 in prior years to 3.9, he became concerned." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "Internists, in contrast, receive a more focused education in medical problems with no further training in surgery or obstetrics at all. Finding a good internist is simple. Ask your friends, call the department of medicine in your neighborhood hospital, or look in the yellow pages for a doctor who has accreditation—that is, who is "board certified"—in internal medicine. If Your Doctor Is an Internist If you're already seeing an internist, then it does not make sense to go to another internist." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "Your doctor probably will not do these additional tests unless he or she has had a continuing education course on evaluating patients for 32 YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE REAL symptoms with no obvious medical cause. (Of course, if you ask your doctor to read this chapter, he or she will be more up to date.) Sjogren's Syndrome or Sjogren's Disease One of the less common diseases I look for is another rheumato-logical ailment, Sjogren's Syndrome, which occurs ten times more often in women than in men." - Benjamin H.

"As this process of downgrading the subjective gathered pace in western medical thought and education, the value of purely empirical knowledge too came under question: if you could not explain why a medical phenomenon occurred, its value as evidence was ever-diminished—at least in theory. In medical practice, of course, both the subjective and the empirical remained, and remain, pretty hard to ignore. But not all western medical systems gave up on embodied knowledge as a source of medical and curative insight." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"Congressional passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and education Act (DSHEA), which was sponsored by Senator Hatch in 1994, removed regulatory authority that the FDA previously had over vitamins and supplements by providing manufacturers with a very large loophole. As long as they don't claim that their products cure a specific disease without showing evidence, they can make general health claims without providing backup. For instance, a manufacturer can say its product "promotes liver health" and advise someone with a liver problem to take it." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "In fact, following the low-fat diet advocated by the National Cholesterol education Program lowers LDL cholesterol as well as treatment with a statin and without the side effects.57 The so-called Mediterranean diet (vegetables, legumes, fruit, cereals, and fish) reduces heart-disease risk and prolongs life.58 Patients with heart disease who followed the Mediterranean diet had a 50% to 70% reduction in recurrent heart attacks.59 These results are twice as good as those of any medication. It's a pretty simple diet to follow over the long term." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Although there is no information as to whether a relation exists among these three factors, one guess would be that women with lower income and less education might do more physically demanding jobs that could lead to injury. Trauma of some sort is commonly reported at the outset of symptoms. The trauma can be from an injury or even following serious surgery. As people segue from having just widespread pain to having FM, they also start looking more and more like patients with CFS." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"The study was criticized by a number of doctors in the field because patients and doctors knew what they were taking, and many of the usual-care group started taking statins because of the education they received while being in the study. Though cardiac events and mortality remained basically the same between the two groups, LDL cholesterol was reduced more in the pravastatin group (28%) than in the usual-care group (11%), showing that there was a greater effect on cholesterol in the treatment group. The Heart Protection Study (HPS) randomized 20,536 patients from the U.K." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Hospitals, still in the late nineteenth century regarded by many as places of last resort in medical care (and thus serving mainly the poor), became the central institution of medical practice and education, and prominent research sites. But medical research found a home too in industry, in universities, and in governmental organizations of various types, ranging from public health laboratories to military installations. The twentieth century also witnessed the rise of third-party payers and, particularly in Western Europe, national health services." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"This is the exam cited by New York Times editorialist Thomas Friedman, author of The World Is Flat, when he laments that students in places like Singapore are "eating our lunch." The education gap between the United States and Asia is widening, Friedman points out. Whereas in some Asian countries nearly half of the students score in the top tier, only 7 percent of U.S. students hit that mark. TIMSS has been administered every four years since 1995. The 1999 edition included 230,000 students from thirty-eight countries, 59,000 of whom were from the United States." - John J.

"My most profitable business is with gentlemen in the city, whose object it is to have their maladies attended to, if possible, without interference with their usual avocations—men whose minds are enlarged by education and occupations,—whose habit is industry, and whose fortune is the profitable occupation of their time, equally removed from the indolent and the luxurious, who readily catch at novelty for amusement, and the ignorant and unlettered, who are easily caught by any appearance of mysticism." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"Medical education in transition Based upon the rising example of scientific medicine and its necessary connection to research, the educational laboratory, and a more thorough scientific education as a preamble to medical practice, Harvard University (under the presidency of Charles Elliott) created a 4-year medical educational program in 1871." - Michael T. Murray, ND, Textbook of Natural Medicine 2nd Edition Volume 1 (Get the book.)

"You have a better capacity for self-education. education is not a preparation for life, but education is life itself! To grow mentally and spiritually is the greatest goal we humans can have on this earth. So fasting works three ways. You purify your body physically, mentally and spiritually and therefore enjoy super vitality and health. Your mind becomes a sponge which can absorb new facts and knowledge. Greatest of all are the inner peacefulness and spiritual tranquillity that make life worth living. Through fasting you find "Peace of Mind," the greatest and rarest gift of life." - Patricia Bragg and Paul C.

"Nutritional education of every family member is crucial. Many people have a faulty idea of what a healthy diet is. Sometimes our best intentions fail because food labels are mysterious to the average person. The food industry's labeling distorts our perception of healthy foods. For example, packages state the contents are "low fat" yet they are high in refined carbohydrates, salt, sugar and chemicals. All the other ingredients may make us fat but the product itself contains less fat. We assume a low fat product is a healthy choice, but often it is not. Did you know?" - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"We may be proud of our education, and want others to be aware of it. Some of us may argue for hours defending our beliefs. Others may say things they do not believe in order to get attention. We may buy expensive or fashionable clothes, not because we need them, but because they have become part of who we are. And if someone damages our car—or even insults it—we may not always respond as you might expect a rational, intelligent being to respond. If this were as far as it went, such behavior would be fairly innocuous. But its consequences spread out into our surroundings." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"Such essentially opportunistic efforts could not substitute for inclusion in a formal education programme, once the medical press turned its spotlight elsewhere. On the other hand, local cultures of acupuncture use persisted; for instance, it was 'for years a favourite traditional practice at the Leeds Infirmary' where three generations of Pridgin Teales used it as Surgeons to the Infirmary.29 But informal networks and family traditions were increasingly peripheral to the process by which innovations in medicine were diffused and entered the mainstream." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"Today From the time medical students enter med school to the time they retire, their lives (and continuing education) are influenced by pharmaceutical companies. The companies buy them lunch when they're starving residents putting in ninety-hour weeks and can barely afford cafeteria fare. They give them gifts. (Take a look at the prescription pad your doctor uses or the paperweight on his desk. That's just the tip of the iceberg.) They sponsor and fund the research they read and the journals that publish it." - 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.)
