Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

"The seminal study carried out with Eskimo families was by Francis A. Young (1969), titled "The Transmission of Refractive Errors within Eskimos families." The fogging during the exercises of focusing with the lenses on must be light, otherwise our brain would consider focusing an impossible duty and consequently wouldn't even try to do it. I'm referring to the phenomenon of blur-driven accommodation. It's true that when you are outdoors and have less near-point stress (overaccommodation), your sight (refractive status) will get better." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"There are as yet no tests that can be done to check whether any particular child is likely to develop asthma (although research is currently trying to discover exactly which genes and chromosomes are linked to the incidence of asthma, and a test may be possible in the future), but it is agreed that asthma runs in families. Asthma is also linked to allergies: families with histories of allergies are likely to have asthmatic members, and asthma and eczema are commonly found together. Even though your family may carry the genes for asthma it does not necessarily mean your child will have asthma." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"They, in turn, are classified into families according to their molecular structure. The families go by the names omega-3 and omega-6. We should be eating a proper balance of these fatty acids. But we don't. In fact, we haven't been doing a good job at this for a hundred years or more, which may pardy explain why we have so much heart disease and other chronic illnesses that were not common in earlier times. Over the years, we have been consuming huge amounts of foods that have much more omega-6 content." - 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.)

"FAMILY Families are lovely, and plants have them too. families rank just above genera in the system of biological classification. Understanding which families the different healing herbs belong to can help you begin to see the bigger web of relationships among them. ETYMOLOGY The meaning of a plant's name, whether its Latinized binomial or its common name, connects us to its history of use. In understanding why a plant was given a particular name, we begin to understand the nature of the plant itself." - Brigitte Mars, A.H.G., The Desktop Guide to Herbal Medicine: The Ultimate Multidisciplinary Reference to the Amazing Realm of Healing Plants, in a Quick-study, One-stop Guide (Get the book.)

"I presented research that I had done as a Robert Wood Johnson Fellow showing the benefit of offering inner city of Cleveland families covered by Medicaid the option of enrolling in a health maintenance organization that would give them access to private primary care doctors. For families who opted to join the HMO, hospital admissions and emergency room visits had plummeted, immunization rates and well-child care visits had improved, and costs had gone down." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"In fact, most American families today report eating dinner together three to four nights a week, but even those meals bear only the faintest resemblance to the Norman Rockwell ideal. If you install video cameras in the kitchen and dining-room ceilings above typical American families, as marketers for the major food companies have done, you'll quickly discover that the reality of the family dinner has diverged substantially from our image of it." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"About one month later, he went across the street to his neighbor's house, used a key that their families had previously exchanged, and stole a credit card. The first name on the card was Phyllis but Earl took it into a jewelry store and bought a six-thousand-dollar Rolex watch with it. First, he signed the credit slip with his real name. When the clerk raised a question about it, Earl took back the slip and signed it with the name on the card, Phyllis Gorman. When questioned again, he explained that Phyllis was a family name and that people called him Phil." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"My first request is that patients and their families eliminate from their vocabulary, from their thinking, from their most basic belief systems, the phrase "This little bit can't hurt." If you have retained only one fact from my explanations of the science behind this program, I hope it is this: that just a little bit of forbidden food—fats, dairy products, oils, animal proteins— can hurt, and will." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "He had been raised in China before the Communist takeover, a member of one of that nation's wealthiest families. While growing up, he ate a relatively healthy diet that contained very little meat and oil. But when he came to the United States to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, everything changed. It was not long before he was positively bingeing on the artery-clogging American diet: "lots of hamburgers and lots of cheeseburgers, a lot of spaghetti and meatballs." For breakfast, he routinely ate bacon and eggs. And he came to love fried food—especially French fries." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"If P. irritans were the chief carrier, one would certainly expect higher death rates in larger families. membrane turns purple and stays that way when a crystal violet stain is applied is called gram-positive, while those that turn pink when a different solution is added are gram-negative. The term* is more than a naming convenience. One of the earliest evolutionary advances of bacteria was the creation of a thick cell wall of carbohydrate polymers?a fancy name for sugars—connected via proteins, effectively forming one giant molecule called peptidoglycan." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "Thus, the record of the period is somewhat distorted by the fact that it is overwhelmingly written by John's victims. families who had, because of their high status, long escaped taxes, escaped no more. Imperial employees, who were either feather-bedding or simply employed in areas that the emperor was no longer willing to support, were fired.2' Many of them headed for the imperial capital, where, reinforcing one another's resentments, they turned John inro the monster of popular legend." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "Constantinople's fifth-century census counted 4,388 single-family dwellings, at a time when Rome had no more than 1,800;" given the size of families and household staffs, this probably represented between 5 and 10 percent of the entire population. What is, by ancient standards, such a high percentage, is largely due to a perpetual grant of a ration of bread—the panes aedium—which was not only given to anyone building a house in the city but passed along to the new owners with the sale of the house ... a powerful incentive to both house builders and home buyers." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Our relationship to God, our patriotism, extended families, community . . . Systematically, in the two generations in which depression has increased so drastically, we've seen waning of all these spiritual furnitures."60 How important is social connectedness? Roughly speaking, if you belong to no social groups but then decide to join one, you cut your risk of dying in the next year by roughly half." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"They went places together and with both of our families." As far as Andy's parents can recall, everything was going fine. Then on an evening in early September not long after the start of school, Andy told his mother that something was bothering him but he couldn't tell her what it was. He said it would make it worse to talk about it. He said it had to do with missing his friend and missing Grandpa. To his mother, other than his expressions of concern, he seemed normal. Since he couldn't talk about it, she suggested that he write her a note. Mrs." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) "For the millions of patients already exposed to these dangerous drugs, the warnings came much too late—and too often continue to be ignored with catastrophic results for patients and their families. GSK CONFESSES: PAXIL CAUSES SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR IN ADULTS FINALLY IN 2005 TO 2006, the FDA gave more specific public notice of its concern that the newer antidepressants might also be causing suicidality in adults." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Food stamp programs and Aid to families with Dependent Children may also be available for women. Other local, private, church, county, and state organizations may also be a source of assistance. Some women are potentially at nutritional risk. These include women who have had several full-term pregnancies, previous low birth weight deliveries, and short intervals between births. Women with medical conditions such as diabetes, chronic renal disease, anemia, and phenylketonuria all require special attention to dietary counseling." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Although women frequently died in childbirth or struggled to feed families of six to ten or more, they were forbidden information concerning fertility regulation that was literally lifesaving. Although diaphragms and condoms gradually became more readily available (the first diaphragms in use in America were smuggled from Europe through Canada by Sanger and her husband), it was not until the Supreme Court decision Griswald v. Connecticut in 1966 that married women's rights to access birth control became assured." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Oral contraceptives protect from uterine and ovarian cancers in the general population, but we aren't sure yet about those in families with a higher incidence. They protect from pregnancy nearly 100 percent of the time, although even with perfect use, there is still about 1 pregnancy in 1,000 women per year, and with common human error, a 2 percent failure rate is more accurate. As a bonus, they reduce heavy, painful periods in everyone. About 80 to 90 percent of functional ovarian cysts (those related to ovulation, the most common type) are eliminated in women who take birth control pills." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Genetic Factors Groupings of endometriosis within families has been found in clinical studies,3' 19 populations-based studies,20 and even studies of twins.21-23 Several analyses of the locations on the genes that are shared by siblings indicate abnormalities in detoxification enzymes. This would lead to susceptibilities to environmental exposures to substances that could then lead to the increase in the disease. Other insights have included that the genes involved are associated with tumor suppressor genes." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"The chief of Mental Health Services at Harvard wrote about antidepressants and attention deficit drugs in The New England Journal of Medicine: "Increasing numbers of students, and sometimes their families, request medication to provide an 'edge,' even if the students have no clinically significant impairment of functioning. They think of such drugs as safe 'brain steroids' that help to maximize performance with minimal risk, and they know the symptoms to describe in order to persuade a doctor to write a prescription." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Even when their own death is well within their sight, these patients have found options and created hope, allowing themselves peace at the end of life, deeper connections with their families, and choices about the quality of their remaining days. Consider what options you have left unexplored. Start somewhere you feel stuck or trapped. Are there new paths that will take you into happier territory? Note how you feel when you're considering possibilities. And note your physical and emotional reactions when you find a new route. How Do You Spell Stress? With Four F's!" - 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.)

"In 1961, the Manchester Guardian newspaper confidently named this well-established and diverse population—mingling intermarried Irish-Chinese families, a shifting population of sailors, and recent (and significantly for Tiger Balm, primarily Hakka) immigrants from the Hong Kong's New Territories—the 'Tiger Balm community'." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.) "As this American author (married to an early orthodox female physician) observed, this offered an opportunity for women of either medical sect: 'conformity to the demands for mild remedies gave the women doctors access to many families whose views were in accord with the reform movements that recognized the growing interest in enlarging the sphere of woman'." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"Since homosexuality is not inherited and many of us experienced abandonment by our physical families, we had been building our own gay families over many years. Suddenly HIV+ challenged those ties, leaving the touched on one side and the untouched on the other—identified ironically by blood testing, the very fluid that does not bind us to our biological families. Much like in those [abandoning genetic] families, friends now started isolating themselves on the grounds of a reality that the "not HIVs" could not relate to..." - Gary Null, James Feast, AIDS: A Second Opinion (Get the book.)

"The indiscriminate reference to "cancer" as a killer disease by professionals and lay people alike has turned cancer into a disorder with tragic consequences for the majority of today's cancer patients and their families. Cancer has become synonymous with extraordinary suffering, pain, and death. This perception continues despite the fact that 90-95 percent of all cancers appear and disappear of their own accord. Not a day passes without the body making millions of cancer cells." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "The device works instantly, and it may have enormous implications for the health and wellbeing of individuals and families. In the past 12 years I have tested nearly a dozen methods or devices that supposedly protect against cell phone radiation, with disappointing results. However, I am extremely exited about this one. Soon I will have completed my research and will post details on my web site. The EM-Heavy Metal Connection In 1993, the cell phone industry and U.S government agencies gave the well known American researcher, Dr." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)
