"As a professor of medicine (physiology) at harvard medical school, and senior biochemist and director of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) laboratory in the cardiovascular department of Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dr. Ingwall has spent her professional life studying the role of energy metabolism in the heart. Her book supports the need for understanding the complex mechanisms of cellular energy metabolism when devising therapies for treating cardiovascular disease. ATP and the Heart should be required reading for any professional working in this field." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Eli Lilly began a campaign to discredit the author, and alerted newspapers and TV stations about the book, saying that harvard medical school professors were unfamiliar with his work and didn't recognize his name, although Dr. Glenmullen is a graduate of harvard medical school, and was a clinical instructor in medicine at Harvard at the time! Chief among Dr." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"Researchers at harvard medical school, who observed 85,000 women over eight years, found that those eating margarine had an increased risk of coronary heart disease. A Welsh study linked the concentration of these artificial trans fats in body fat with death from heart disease. The Dutch government has already banned any products containing trans fatty acids. Why is an increased risk of heart disease so important in the consideration of cancer? It is because cancer and heart disease share the same causes. A heart attack occurs when a part of the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen and dies." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"In 1903, Richard Cabot, harvard medical school professor and a doyen of American medicine, confessed: "I was brought up, as I suppose every physician is, to use placebos, bread pills, water subcutaneously, and other devices for acting upon a patient's symptoms through his mind."63 He was, however, willing to make such a confession only because he had now decided that such practices were wholly unacceptable: Every placebo is a lie, and in the long run the lie is found out. We give a placebo with one meaning; the patient receives it with quite another." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"By 1987 Faustman had done an abrupt about-face and was heading up a program to try to cure diabetes in lab mice at harvard medical school. Over the next fifteen years, Faustman struggled, with a dedicated crew of eleven PhDs, to identify the exact group of pathological T cells that were misbehaving in type 1 diabetes and destroying islet cells in the pancreas. These errant T cells, she found, produced completely different proteins within their cells than did normal cells. In fact, these rogue T cells ought not to have been circulating in the body in the first place." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "Denise Faustman, associate professor of medicine at harvard medical school and director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Immunobiology Laboratory, may well be on the verge of developing just such a cure for type 1 diabetes. Humor has helped Faustman along what has proven to be a rocky road over the past several years as she developed a revolutionary approach to targeting and destroying errant immune cells in laboratory mice. In 2001 and 2003, Faustman published two highly controversial studies in top journals." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"A team of scientists led by Herbert Benson, a cardiologist at harvard medical school, stood nearby, examining an array of medical equipment to which they had attached the monks for any clues as to what particular physiological mechanism might have enabled the body to generate this extraordinary level of heat. For years, Benson had explored the effects of meditation on the brain and the rest of the body. He'd embarked on an ambitious research program, studying Buddhists in various remote outposts around the world who had spent many years in disciplined practice." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "Besides his harvard medical school credentials, he had set up Mind/Body Medical Institute, which was devoted to the study and practice of mind/body healing techniques. He'd even coined a term, "the relaxation response," to describe their effects.8 Lending his name to a study of prayer would legitimatize it among the conservative camps. For this study, Benson recruited five other powerhouses of medicine in the United States, including the Mayo Clinic." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "In 1948, as a young medic at harvard medical school on a temporary visa from war-torn Austria, Franz Halberg was assigned an impossible task: to help find the cure of all disease.3 At the time, the cure was assumed to involve the cortical hormones secreted by the adrenal glands, which enable the body to adapt to the ordinary stresses of life. The search was on to find reasonable substitutes for the body's own scarce supply of steroids." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"As Marcia Angell, a former editor in chief of The New England Journal of Medicine and a current member of Harvard Medical School's Department of Social Medicine, writes in her book The Truth About the Drug Companies, instead of being an engine of innovation for human health, the pharmaceutical industry is a "vast marketing machine" that is less of a free-market success story than one might think." - 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.)

"At the time, I was teaching a course at harvard medical school about the role of the doctor-patient relationship in the healing process, and I asked Mrs. Clark if I might tape our conversation so my students could get an idea of what this experience was like for her. I sensed that the opportunity to contribute to the education of medical students would make it easier for her to get "down and dirty" with her feelings. When Mrs. Clark returned several days later, she expressed confidence that her treatment would be successful." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "At a 2002 faculty medical ethics seminar at harvard medical school, I had the opportunity to ask Dr. Janet Woodcock, Director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, why the FDA had not intervened in JAMA's publication of the Celebrex study. I pointed out that the FDA was aware that publication of the CLASS article in JAMA would lead to greatly increased use of Celebrex under false pretenses. Dr. Woodcock said the FDA could not "constrain communication" in a scientific journal, and that this was "a First Amendment right of commercial speech issue." Then Dr." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Harvard Medical School, was a research psychiatrist at the National Institute of Mental Health for ten years. Founder and director of the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, he is also a clinical professor in the departments of psychiatry and family medicine at the Georgetown University School of Medicine. Dr. Gordon served as the first chairman of the Program Advisory Council of the National Institutes of Health's Office of Alternative Medicine." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"One of the benefits of a faculty appointment at harvard medical school is access to the school's digital library, which provides access to virtually all the important medical journals. I wanted to dig around a little to see if I could find more information about statins and strokes STUDYING THE WRONG PEOPLE The better I understood the details of this article, the more misleading its conclusion appeared to be. The biggest problem was the disparity between the people included in the study and the people most at risk of stroke." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Coyle of the harvard medical school says "the way mental health services are provided to children" is one cause of the increasing numbers of prescriptions for psychotropic medications being given to preschoolers. "Many state Medicaid programs now provide quite limited reimbursement for the evaluation of behavioral disorders in children and preclude more than one type of clinical evaluator per day. Thus, the multidisciplinary clinics of the past that brought together pediatric, psychiatric, behavior and family dynamic expertise for difficult cases have largely ceased to exist." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Stephen Wiviott of harvard medical school studied the effectiveness of two different lipid-lowering drugs and found that bad cholesterol (LDL) levels were about 10 percent lower in the summer and fall compared to measures in the spring. Good cholesterol (HDL) also was higher in the summer and lower in the winter. Seasonal differences appeared to be the effects of UV light, vitamin D, seasonal dietary changes, and/or physical activity. What about heart attacks and strokes?" - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Harvard Medical School did a study and analyzed data from twenty-seven different countries, to find the same increased amount of ovarian cancer associated with dairy. A positive relationship between ovarian cancer and dairy products was first reported in The Lancet by Cramer et al. in 1989, when it was suggested that lactose consumption may be a dietary risk factor for ovarian cancer.5239 More recently, data collected from the Harvard Nurses Health Study was used to assess the lactose, milk, and milk product consumption in relation to ovarian cancer risk in more than 80,000 women." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Simin Liu of the harvard medical school and School of Public Health in Boston, said, "Our studies provided some direct evidence that greater intake of dietary magnesium may have a long-term protective effect on lowering diabetes risk."147 Diabetics often have low magnesium levels in their cells and blood, and some researchers believe that they might even have a defect in the metabolism of magnesium that exacerbates the disease. Even if you're not a diabetic, you're likely to suffer from insulin resistance if you're low in magnesium." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Intakes of animal protein, meat and eggs have been associated with breast cancer incidence and mortality in ecological studies, but data from long-term prospective studies are limited. harvard medical school and Brigham and Women's Hospital researchers examined these relationships in the Nurses Health Study. They followed 88,647 women for 18 years, with five assessments of diet by food frequency questionnaires, cumulatively averaged and updated over time. During follow-up, 4,107 women developed invasive breast cancer." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"An exception is Marcia Angell, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine and now senior lecturer at harvard medical school. In a column entitled, "Taking back the FDA" in The Boston Globe on February 26, 2007, she observed: The FDA also refuses to release unfavorable research results in its possession without the sponsoring company's permission. . . . It's no wonder that serious safety concerns about drugs such as Vioxx, Paxil, and Zyprexa have emerged very late in the day—years after they were in widespread use.

"Anti-Aging: Caloric Restriction and Resveratrol To further make the point of the main theoretical principle of the Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program, Life Extension 2004 reports that a phytonu-trient, resveratrol, has been found by harvard medical school researchers to activate a longevity gene in yeast that extends life by 70 percent. In an interview, leading resveratrol researcher Dr." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Researchers at harvard medical school state: Our findings support the hypothesis that long-term low-level lead accumulation (estimated by tibia bone lead) is associated with an increased risk of declining renal function particularly among diabetics or hypertensives, populations already at risk for impaired renal function." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Recently, researchers at harvard medical school used standard MRI imaging to show visible differences in the brains of those who regularly practice meditation. Over time, areas of the brain that have to do with sensory processing became thicker in the meditators, and these physical changes profoundly changed the day-today modulation of the meditators' heart rates and breathing." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Landrigan obtained his medical degree from the harvard medical school in 1967. He has served as a commissioned officer in the United States Public Health Service, and as an Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer and then as a Medical Epidemiologist with the CDC in Atlanta. While at the CDC, Dr. Landrigan served for one year as a field epidemiologist in El Salvador and for another year in northern Nigeria.

"The researchers found that vitamin K2 supplements boosted the women's bone mineral content, compared to placebo. A harvard medical school study confirmed the efficacy of vitamin K2 to prevent bone loss and noted that it reduces the rate of vertebral fractures. Other studies also suggest vitamin K2 plays a role in bone health. Ensuring sufficient vitamin K2 is available in your body appears to be important to ensuring not just bone health, but also reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"I started with Harvard Medical School's digital library, but couldn't find any new research or more complete data. Next I tried the government-sponsored "Pub-Med" website, a database of several thousand scientific journals; but a comprehensive search there didn't yield any new information either. Then I went to the FDA website to see if I could find any unpublished data the agency had used in its decision to mandate Pharmacia's "Dear Healthcare Provider" letter." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.)
