"The Europeans are taking this seriously, and in 2005, a directive passed by the european Union mandated that chemicals determined to be carcinogens, mutagens, or reproductive toxins be removed from cosmetics sold in Europe.1 According to the Environmental Working Group, the average American is exposed to more than a hundred different chemicals from personal care products every day.2 And although the cosmetic industry asserts that its products are safe, 89 percent of the ingredients used in cosmetics today have not been assessed by either the FDA or the industry itself." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"European Enlightenment and the beginning of the Industrial Era. Another surge of novelty occurred around 500 B.C. This was the time when Lao-Tzu, Plato, Zoroaster, Buddha, and others, who would have a major influence on the millennia ahead, appeared in the world. It saw the rise of ancient Greece and the beginnings of european culture. This surge continued for several centuries, then slowed down in the fourth century A.D. with the fall of Rome, and finally sputtered to an end with the onset of the Dark Ages." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"Everyday choices we make to protect ourselves will have an impact globally. The european Union, through new legislation (called REACH) designed to limit toxins in commercially produced goods, caused China to change its manufacturing practices. The european Union also demanded that Silicon Valley produce cells phones without toxic metals and they did. Buying organic food, refusing vaccines with mercury, and buying deodorant without aluminum will create a ripple effect throughout our economy and environment. You can make changes in your life and in your world with the choices you make." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Surveys done between 1992 and 2000 showed that half again as many Americans as Europeans described themselves as "very interested" in new medical discoveries (66 percent versus 44 percent), and almost twice as many Americans over the age of 65 were "very interested" in new medical discoveries as were european seniors (79 percent versus 42 percent). Almost half of Americans believed that health insurance or the government should "pay for all new medical technologies." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"It is the basis for the functioning of the transnational organizations of which the european Union (EU) is a prime example. In today's Macroshift the suprasystem-building process leads from national to regional level systems, and ultimately to a system on the global level. The process is evident, and it is accelerating." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Most countries (Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and all twenty-five nations of the european Union) have banned rBGH because of its known detrimental effect on health. Even if you are buying organic milk and only eating organic dairy products, there is this to consider: milk comes from cows and was created by Mother Nature for baby cows. By drinking their mothers' milk and processing it with their four stomachs, calves double their body weight in only forty-seven days and usually live very short lives. It's no wonder that our bodies treat milk like an alien substance." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Enter Lp(a), which "spackles" holes in damaged blood vessels, allowing our northern european forbears to survive scurvy and reproduce, ensuring the ongoing life of their genes. So far so good. But Lp(a) is such a good spackling compound that it just keeps piling on any damaged area, which means that people with Lp(a) usually develop severe premature coronary artery disease. Why has this gene persisted if it's so lethal? By now you should know." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"In most european and Western cultures, the predominant faith is Christianity, and the main scriptures are the Bible. But when we begin to investigate the history of how the Bible was written and assembled, some very interesting facts come to light. Rabbi David M. Hargis, in his study paper entitled The Constantine Conspiracy (also mentioned in chapter 5), points out that under the direction of the Roman Emperor Constantine, a large group of bishops, known as the Council of Nicea, met and worked together between the years 318 and 325 ad, to decide church doctrine." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Soon enough, european medics started suggesting that fruits might actually be healthy. In 1776, doctors described raw fruits as "the lightest most wholesome food we can eat." The impoverished masses still ate whatever they could scrounge up. A common peasant fruit was the medlar, a now-forgotten brown fruit that must be dried (called bletting) before being eaten. It was nicknamed "open-arse." Besides that, most people's dietary options were restricted to gruels, porridges, turnips, cabbage, the rare salted meat and a little bread." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"With the growth in the european economy, the sometimes-onerous european and Scandinavian taxes ease up, which throws more money into the mix. The underemployed sectors in urban areas start to hum with viable new ways to bring the disaffected or thriving underground economy into the mainstream. Russia finds ways to spread more of the wealth, curbing corruption, mafia barons and oligarchs, so that there is more money in the economy for the average person. With crime under control, international investment picks up." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.)

"In 1984, backed by the Institute for Culture, Vitanyi and Laszlo founded the european Culture Impact Research Consortium (EURO-CIRCON). In the years that followed the international research projects of the Institute were carried out under the auspices of EUROCIRCON. The years between 1988 and 1992 were years of high drama in East-Central Europe. The transition that took place was so fundamental that it would be more correct to call it a transformation. During these critical times Laszlo raised the idea of founding an international "artists' and writers' club" to partner with the Club of Rome." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"In Britain and Europe, there is widespread awareness and opposition to the introduction of genetically altered foods. european and Asian nations are beginning to require labels on all foods containing genetically modified ingredients. Commercial interests in North America are fighting this trend because they realize that once labels identifying foods as genetically altered appear, consumers will start avoiding them. On the surface, one might think that altering foods genetically is better for the farmers and better for consumers. But, look a little closer." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"The children of Angola received guns for Christmas," says the pilot, overcome with emotion. "European children received grapes ... this is business." The only way to thrive in the fruit racket is to be what the Yiddish call a hondler. a fast-talking negotiator who gets things done. Jimmy, with his whip-fast verbal and math skills, is well suited to the industry—even though he despises it. Stocky and ponytailed, Jimmy has angelic blue eyes that contrast with his rugged features, giving him the appearance of an old-looking young person." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "The company's ongoing political reach was displayed in the trade dispute that erupted between the United States and the european Union in 1999. When the EU imposed a quota system limiting the amount of bananas imported by Chiquita, the American government intervened on their behalf This might have had something to do with the fact that Chiquita CEO Carl Lindner had become, at the height of the restrictions on his bananas, one of the biggest political donors in America, bestowing more than 5 million dollars. Senate majority leader Bob Dole was given unlimited use of Lindner's private jet." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"An agreement was reached, finances were secured, and the Institute for Culture began its research on "European Identity." Work was completed in eight countries under the direction of Maria Sagi, who at the time was the Institute's principal researcher. Sagi also headed the research on Hungary, collected the international results, and compiled the final report. The report was published in Hungarian in the periodical Valosdg and subsequently in English in a special edition of the journal World Futures." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Homeopaths point to their success rate in treating disease (sometimes higher than for orthodox medical methods—for instance in the european cholera epidemic of 1854) as evidence that homeopathy works. The homeopathic physician seeks to correct a disorder by treating the patient through the symptoms, not the symptoms themselves. This requires the homeopath to study the individual patient carefully. As the key to taking the right remedy is assessing the individual, especially in chronic conditions, it is essential to consult a homeopathic physician." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Expenditures for prescription drugs have been increasing seven times faster than the rate of inflation, but the 2003 legislation specifically prohibits the federal government from using its purchasing power to negotiate prices with drug makers, as is done successfully by the Veterans Health Administration and Defense Department (and by Canada and the european countries—which is why their drug prices are so much lower than those in the United States). The U.S." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Before it is decided to offer this expensive, potentially harmful, and possibly only marginally effective treatment we suggest that another, much larger, european trial is needed to test the results of the U.S. trial." Nonetheless, the 2000 American Heart Association guidelines for the treatment of acute stroke, published in its journal Circulation, upgraded the recommendation for the use of Activase in ischemic strokes from "optional" to "recommended." Dr. Rose Marie Robertson, president of the AHA, described the nine experts who formulated these guidelines as "independent." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "A spokesperson for the european Union went even further, saying that the ban on drug company ads was not sufficient to protect its citizens from commercially sponsored misinformation coming from the United States. "The problem is you now have all sorts of medical data and claims on American websites," he said, "and that issue is still not being addressed." In the United States the rights of commercial speech are given far greater priority than in the other countries—a balance that is tipping ever more in favor of commercial activity." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Mortality data for breast and colorectal cancer in 24 european countries were correlated with current fish and fish oil consumption and with consumption 10 and 23 years previously. In males, there was an inverse correlation between colorectal cancer mortality and current intake of fish, a weaker correlation with fish consumption 10 years earlier, and none with consumption 23 years earlier. Investigators concluded that fish consumption is associated with protection against the later promotional stages of colorectal cancer progression, but not with the early initiation stages." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Writing in 1999 in the journal european Urology, researchers noted that Asian men have much lower incidences of prostate cancer and possibly of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) than their Western counterparts. Vegetarian men also have a lower incidence of prostate cancer than omnivorous males. Both Asian and vegetarian men consume low-fat, high-fiber diets which provide a rich supply of weak dietary plant estrogens. The researchers propose these phytoestrogens are helpful in reducing prostate cancer risk." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "The study was published in the February 2000 issue of the european Journal of Cancer. This case-control study conducted in central France was designed to explore whether ALA inhibits breast cancer, using fatty acid levels in breast adipose (fat) tissue as a biomarker of its intake. Biopsies of breast adipose tissue at the time of diagnosis were obtained from 123 women with invasive non-metastatic breast carcinoma, while 59 women with benign breast disease served as controls." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "The study was published in the February 2000 issue of the european Journal of Cancer.

"A Nordic and european approach." Bioscience Microflora 15 (1996): 61-67. CHAPTER FOUR SIMPLE ENZYME PROGRAMS FOR BETTER HEALTH As you may have figured out by now, enzymes can be used in a variety of ways to treat a variety of health issues, or even just to help maintain our overall health and improve our longevity. Incorporating enzyme therapy into our lives is very easy to do, and I've developed a few standard programs that almost anyone can use to address common health concerns, without having to learn about every available enzyme supplement and how it might apply to you." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Swedish Government Action with the european Union Sweden has been very active in lobbying within the european Union to ban television advertising to children. Making such an effort on a broad scale is a success by itself. If Sweden prevails and the European Union develops a ban, it could lead the way for other countries to do the same. Quebec's Consumer Protection Act The Province of Quebec, Canada, enacted the Consumer Protection Act in 1978, which stated that "no person may make use of commercial advertising directed at persons under thirteen years of age." - Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen, Food Fight (Get the book.)

"Although the drug company systematically tried to avoid diagnosing patients with the dread disorder akathisia, a number of cases turned up in their european database. Working with my research assistant Ian Goddard, we found many correlations between akathisia and suicidal behavior, including completed suicides.3 The official American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV), is the diagnostic bible of psychiatry. It discusses akathisia at length in both of the two most recent editions (1994 and 2000)." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, was dominant in european civilization until the advent of the modern age. The rationality of the Greeks, borrowed and elaborated by the Romans, was conserved in medieval fiefdoms and princedoms, notwithstanding the addition of Christian elements. It found expression in the creation and use of mechanical devices such as clocks, windmills, watermills, animal-drawn agricultural implements, and horse-drawn carriages. A further shift occurred in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)
