"He explained how the children of hawaii were losing their sense of self and had lost the pride of their people. I asked him what he was planning to do about it. He told me the story of his greatest moment. He was invited to give the keynote speech to the graduating class of a local high school. He began his presentation by asking anyone who was Hawaiian to please stand up. A hush fell over the audience. A few timid Hawaiians rose, embarrassed to admit their culture in the eyes of all the students, many only partially Hawaiian." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"Do you know that we're the only people in all of hawaii making chocolate from Hawaiian cocoa beans? Nobody else is making real Hawaiian chocolate. There's nothing like it." The chocolate yielded a host of complex flavors, earthy and floral and rich and sweet and sensual. Yes, I said, it's wonderful. But I've seen a lot of chocolate around made in hawaii. That was the catalytic comment that caused Bob Cooper to tell his story "You see a lot of so-called Hawaiian chocolate all over the place. But you know what? All that chocolate is made from African beans." - Chris Kilham, Hot Plants: Nature's Proven Sex Boosters for Men and Women (Get the book.)

"Researchers at the Cancer Research Center at the University of hawaii published a case-controlled, multiethnic (Japanese, Caucasian, Native Hawaiian, Filipino, and Chinese) population study to examine the role of dietary soy, fiber, and related foods and nutrients on the risk of endometrial cancer.26 The diets of 300 women with endometrial cancer were compared with women in the general multiethnic population. The researchers found that high fat intake was positively associated with endometrial cancer, whereas a diet rich in fiber, soy, and other legumes reduced the risk of endometrial cancer." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Hawaii Medicaid was $1,480.00 *" The heart drug Atenolol: Street price = $1.60, but the price charged to hawaii Medicaid was $74.00 «•* "The taxpayers of hawaii have been swindled by certain drug manufacturers falsely inflating prices in our Medicaid programs and to Medicare beneficiaries." - Lillian Roller, director of the state Department of Human Services. <•* A quick review of press releases available on the website of the Attorney General shows California: Filed a complaint accusing pharmaceutical manufacturer Bristol-Myers Squibb Inc." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"The Japanese men who immigrated to California turned out to have rates of coronary heart disease five times higher than the rates in Japan, while immigrants to hawaii had rates intermediate between those in Japan and California. This heart disease "gradient" could not be explained by diet, Stallones reluctantly agreed (changes in diet in both the Hawaiian and the Californian groups were similar.) But neither could it be explained by Syme's "cultural mobility" hypothesis (after all, both groups had emigrated and experienced dislocation)." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"In the study illustrated here, the levels of different cancers affecting Japanese and Japanese immigrants to hawaii were compared with those affecting the ethnic Hawaiian population. For example, while prostate cancer was at the time little-known in Japan, the incidence of this cancer increased by a factor of ten in Japanese immigrants to hawaii, to the point of becoming comparable to the native Hawaiian levels." - Richard Beliveau, Ph.D. and Denis Gingras, Ph.D., Foods that Fight Cancer (Get the book.)

"However, in hawaii, Asians, native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders age 20 years or older are more than twice as likely to have diagnosed diabetes as Caucasians after adjusting for population age differences, and are more susceptible than Caucasians to being overweight. Similarly, in California, Asians are 1.5 times as likely to have diagnosed diabetes as non-Hispanic whites. Other groups in these populations also have increased risk for diabetes. Cities New York City is an amplified microcosm of this information." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"UCLA in 1989, and then worked for three years at a clinic in hawaii. I used acupuncture and herbs, as well as traditional Western medicine, to treat whatever ailments walked through the door. The local Hawaiian kahunas, or healers, were similar to the Chinese—always considering the emotional and spiritual beliefs of their patients, using deep massage and herbs to bring people into balance. This experience drove me to want more traditional training in Chinese medicine, not just the rote map of acupuncture points that Western doctors had given me." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"High intake of fructose and sucrose: Consumption of these sugars may increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, according to a new study conducted by researchers from the University of hawaii and the University of Southern California. Fructose naturally occurs in fruits, while sucrose is usually extracted from sugar cane or sugar beets. Researchers analyzed dietary data on 162,150 people who had participated in the Hawaii-Los Angeles Multiethnic Cohort Study, looking for evidence that a diet with a high glycemic load increases the risk of pancreatic cancer." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"I think back to the unimpressive fruits at the hotel buffet and imagine them making the journey from a farm in South America or Asia all the way to hawaii. People aren't eating their local ultraexotics, Love says, because they simply don't realize they exist. His goal at the farmer's market isn't so much to sell fruits, it's to educate people about the vast array of fruits on their doorsteps. When a family arrives at the co-op, he starts telling them all about the different fruits. They purchase a bunch of tropical apricots, mountain apples and Surinam cherries." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Severson, the lead researcher for the Japan-Hawaii Cancer Study, investigated this question by interviewing about eight thousand Japanese men living in hawaii and charting cases of prostate cancer for as long as twenty-one years. During that period, 174 men developed prostate cancer. Only one-tenth of this number of men would have been expected to develop prostate cancer if they had been living in Japan. Clearly, environment, lifestyle, and diet played key roles in raising the risk of prostate cancer." - Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (Get the book.)

"Kenneth J Finsand, a board certified chiropractic physician and author of the book Mangosteen: Healing Secrets Revealed (2003) has personally experienced, resolving twenty years of pain following a major back injury while surfing in hawaii, in his own words: In 1981, while surfing in hawaii, I sustained a back injury. At the time, I was thrown to the bottom of the surf with such force that it bent my entire body backward, breaking my back in four areas. Over the last 20 years through chiropractic care, I have been able to lead a fairly normal life." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"Shafir and Tversky give an example of students' decision making about whether to take a vacation in hawaii after learning whether they had passed or failed an important exam. Faced with such a choice, they look into their own minds for their feelings about the choice. Some students who have passed the exam will think, "I should take the vacation as a celebration and a reward." Some students who have failed the exam will think, "I should take the vacation as a consolation, to improve my mood after having failed." Some students will decide to take a vacation whether or not they pass the exam." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"A confounding factor here is that hawaii is closer to the equator and Hawaiian males are likely to have higher vitamin D levels from sun exposure. An interesting study was recently conducted among Japanese men, 25 who lived in Japan and 25 U.S.-born Japanese men who lived in California, all of whom were undergoing prostate cancer surgery. It makes more sense that the Asian diet in its totality, along with other environmental factors such as vitamin D, plays a strong role in prostate cancer prevention. For example, soy and green tea work synergistically to inhibit prostate cancer." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"So whatcha doing in hawaii?" she asks, in a husky baritone. "I'm a journalist," I answer. "I'm working on an article about exotic fruit." "I'm an exotic fruit," she purrs. "Write about me!" As she sashays back to the stage, I head up to my room. Walking down the hallway, with its green shag carpeting, green fern wallpaper, and green ceiling, I feel as though I'm hurtling headfirst through a green tunnel into some sort of magical plant realm. The following morning, Love picks me up in his pickup truck. He has brought a flat crate of yellow apricot-like Japanese fruits called loquats.

"One certified organic micro-algae grown in hawaii, Spirulina Pacifica, is a superior strain of blue-green algae. It is about 60% protein, packed with enzymes, with 18 of the 22 amino acids, 92 trace minerals, and gamma linolenic acid (gla). It contains proportionately 58 times more iron than raw spinach and 28 times more than raw beef liver.

"The origins of this second "healing ties" story lie in the mid-1960s, when University of California, Berkeley sociologist Leonard Syme became involved in a project with epidemiologist Reuel Stallones to study rates of coronary heart disease and stroke among Japanese immigrants to hawaii and California. At the time, the Japanese were of great interest to epidemiologists because of evidence showing they had the lowest overall rates of heart disease and lived on average longer than any other nation group on the planet." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"McDougall became interested in the subject when he lived in hawaii, on a sugar plantation. As he tells the story, "I met first-, second-, third-, and fourth-generation Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans." He noticed that his patients from the first generation of immigrants, who ate the "worst diet," according to traditional nutritional principles— virtually no dairy products or meat—always seemed trim and fit.

"A cohort study in hawaii [240] and a case-control study in China [241] showed an inverse relationship between daily tea consumption and prostate cancer risk, but several other cohort studies [48, 66, 102, 242, 243] as well as case-control studies [56, 57, 61, 244] did not reproduce this finding. Tea contains polyphenols that are potentially anticarcinogenic because of their antioxidant properties, effects on signal transduction pathways, inhibition of cell proliferation, and other actions in the body [245]. 2.

"Shechter's findings help explain results in other important studies, such as the Honolulu Heart Program, in which researchers monitored the cardiovascular health over three decades of more than seven thousand men of Japanese ancestry living in hawaii. Individuals with the lowest daily magnesium intake (50 to 186 mg) were almost twice as likely to have a heart attack than those with the highest average amount (340 to 1,183 mg). The RDA for men is around 400 mg and 300 mg for women." - 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.)

"She told me that in hawaii they eat a lot of fish, and we had a lot of tuna fish. She also said they eat a lot of watermelon, and we just happened to have a watermelon field across the street from our house. And, of course, they drink a lot of "Hawaiian punch," and we could certainly afford that. "Few of us were supported to look for what was right or good or special about us. Instead, most of us were taught to look for what was wrong rather than what was wonderful about ourselves, others, and the world." So the date for the party was set." - Margaret Ruby, The DNA of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.)

"White from the hawaii Center for Health Research said, "Their brains seemed to be showing an exaggeration of the usual patterns we see in aging." In men, eating soy isoflavones can significantly reduce testicular function and lower luteinizing hormone (LH) production, which is what signals the testicles to work. A high soy intake and potentially lower level of LH increases the probability of estrogen dominance in men, contributing to hair loss, swollen and cancerous prostates,34,35 and insulin resistance." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Imagine that you want to manifest a trip to hawaii. You have been visualizing it, you imagine yourself lying in a hammock on a beautiful Hawaiian beach and drinking a piha colada. For your trip to manifest, the first strand of DNA (the programming for intention) must ignite the spark of imagination held in the second strand. If you haven't eliminated the influence of the Matrix, the Matrix programming will butt in with negative self-talk that confuses your vision. "Hello, is anybody there?" it will bark. 'You're not being realistic!" - Margaret Ruby, The DNA of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.)

"If your lifestyle doesn't allow that, you could live in hawaii and be D-deficient. You won't see much difference in the D levels of people living in Florida and those from the northern United States simply because culture, urbanization, and technology have lured all of us indoors and out of the sun over the past quarter century. Moreover, the smog in large metropolitan areas decreases D production compared to rural areas at the same latitude. The casual sunlight exposure of today's urban lifestyle isn't enough to produce adequate amounts of vitamin D, no matter what your latitude." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Remember that brief sun exposure can spike your vitamin D level temporarily, so don't measure your levels following inconsistent sun exposure—such as on the day you return from a trip to hawaii. Suppose you find out that your vitamin D level is 95 after your initial calculations because you didn't take into account the vitamin D you were getting via sun or other supplements. To reduce your level by 35 (95-35 = 60), simply decrease your intake by 26 IU per pound and measure your level again in three months." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)
