"The thousands of golf fans from Iowa and illinois attending the tournament that Saturday had no choice but to gaze up at the green and yellow Cialis signs again and again as they tracked the performance of their favorite PGA players. There was no description on these signs of what Cialis was or even what it did. It was impossible to know how many children in the crowd asked their parents about the strange name they saw on the scoreboards or how many got a straight answer." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Most recently, scientists from the University of illinois have reported that constituents in black cohosh bind to opiate receptors and activate responses, including core temperature regulation.115 At the moment, the mechanism of action is not clear, although some have postulated an effect on serotonin levels. Over these same 25 years, safety and toxicity studies have also been conducted on black cohosh, and it has been subjected to increased scrutiny, as has hormone replacement therapy." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Growth hormones in cows milk: Samuel Epstein, MD, a scientist at the University of illinois School of Public Health, points out that rBGH milk is "supercharged with high levels of a natural growth factor (IGF-1), excess levels of which have been incriminated as major causes of breast, colon, and prostate cancers." Synthetic vitamins: Manufactured vitamins (non-methylated, inexpensive junk vitamins) can rob your body of energy and actually cause the vitamin deficiencies you want to avoid by taking these vitamins." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Epstein, who is also a professor emeritus of Environmental and Occupational Medicine at the University of illinois School of Public Health, has been warning about the risks of mammography since at least 1992. Commenting on the official mammography guidelines, Epstein says: "They were conscious, chosen, politically expedient acts by a small group of people for the sake of their own power, prestige and financial gain, resulting in suffering and death for millions of women. They fit the classification of crimes against humanity." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"In one case, the traveler headed to the Northwest Railroad Station in Glencoe, illinois, and took one photo of the station with an oncoming train and then another of the inside of the station, a drab little waiting room with a bulletin board below a sign. 'I see the train station,' wrote the remote viewer 35 minutes before the traveler had even chosen where he was going, 'one of the commuter train stations that's on the expressway ?the white cement of them and the silver railings. I see a train coming ... I see or hear the clicking of feet or shoes on the wooden floor. . . ." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"One MS cluster now under investigation is in Morrison, illinois, and its environs. There, researchers from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry of the Department of Health and Human Services are looking into what may be one of the highest rates of MS in the world—related, residents believe, to chemical pesticides and toxins from manufacturing and hazardous waste sites. Investigators looking into high rates of MS in Morrison are also studying four neighboring towns: Lewiston, DePue, Savanna, and Paw Paw. DePue and Savanna are both Superfund sites." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"University of illinois, and his colleagues. They put a group of sixty volunteers in an MRI machine—a very sophisticated kind of x-ray machine that can pinpoint changes and abnormalities in body tissues. "These folks were basically couch potatoes," Kramer told me, "healthy but sedentary, and ranging in age from sixty to eighty." The researchers then divided them into two groups. One group went into an aerobics program, the other into a "toning and stretching" program." - 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.)

"Lands, a retired professor of biochemistry at the universities of Michigan and illinois. No one is more concerned about mercury than me, and while I recommend you avoid it, it's nice to know that selenium can help mitigate at least some of the potential effects of this dangerous, neurotoxic metal. I think taking a 200 meg supplement of selenium every day is one of the most sensible things you can do. Many high-quality multiple supplements contain this much, or you can take it as a stand-alone pill. The very best food source is Brazil nuts, which are high in calories but a selenium bonanza." - 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.)

"Toward the end of the French and Indian Wars, about 1760, fur traders introduced the pecan from the territory of the illinois Indian to the Atlantic seaboard; thus it became known as the "Illinois" nut (illinoinensis means "coming from Illinois"). The English common name pecan comes from the Algonquian Indian paccan, a word that also included walnuts and hickories—referring to nurs so hard they had to be cracked with a stone." - Dianne Onstad, Whole Foods Companion: A Guide For Adventurous Cooks, Curious Shoppers, and lovers of natural foods (Get the book.)

"Jay Olshansky of the University of illinois at Chicago and more than 50 of the world's top longevity experts issued a position statement in 2002 that was as blunt as they could fashion it. "Our language on this matter must be unambiguous," they wrote. "There are no lifestyle changes, surgical procedures, vitamins, antioxidants, hormones, or techniques of genetic engineering available today that have been demonstrated to influence the processes of aging." The brutal reality about aging is that it has only an accelerator pedal. We have yet to discover whether a brake exists for people." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"More recently, in a study conducted by the School of Medicine at Southern illinois University Springfield, researchers found that when breast cancer, prostate cancer, and melanoma cells were exposed to solutions of 5 percent and 10 percent colloidal silver, all three were completely inhibited. In vitro studies sponsored by NASA at the University of Wisconsin suggest that by administering positively charged silver hydrosol in vivo to saturate target loci or foci, picoscalar silver would impregnate all collective atoms within each tumor cell with up to one silver ion." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Prostate Cancer Researchers from the Department of Preventive medicine, Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, illinois, evaluated dietary beta-carotene and vitamin C in relation to subsequent risk of prostate cancer in a prospective study of 1,899 middle-aged men. They combined prostate cancer cases diagnosed in the first 24 years of follow-up with incident cases identified from the Health Care Financing Administration hospitalization and outpatient files during an additional six-year follow-up period. They obtained death certificates for all decedents." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Bush's comments about American health care in a speech made to the illinois Medical Society in June 2003: "One thing is for certain about health care in our country, is that we've got the best health care system in the world and we need to keep it that way." The only thing that appears to be certain about health care in our country is that we aren't getting the health we're paying for.

"By using a simple technique, such as a series of rapid eye movements known as "sensory desensitization and reprocessing," psychiatrist Allan Botkin of the Center for Grief and Traumatic Loss in Libertyville, illinois, has induced ADC in nearly three thousand patients. ADCs are obtained by about 98 percent of the people who try the experiment. Contact usually comes about rapidly, almost always in a single session. It is not limited or altered by the relationship of the experiencing subjects to the deceased." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"The seminal 2006 study from Arthur Kramer of the University of illinois used MRI scans to show that walking as few as three days a week for six months increased the volume of the prefrontal cortex in older adults. And when he tested aspects of their executive function, they showed improvement: in working memory, smoothly switching between tasks and screening out irrelevant stimuli. Kramer wasn't on the trail of ADHD, but his findings illustrate another way exercise might help. Everyone agrees that exercise boosts levels of dopamine and norepinephrine." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"Major corporations such as Unilever in the Netherlands and the International Minerals and Chemicals Corporation in illinois (makers of Ac'cent—MSG) undertook studies, but eventually gave up on the fruit because they found the active ingredient too complex to stabilize and synthesize. It looked like yet another example of WAWA, an acronym for the region's many business failures: West Africa Wins Again. In the late 1960s, a young biomedical visionary named Bob Harvey attended a lecture by Bartoshuk, whose speaking engagements at West Point were classified as top secret by the U.S." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Consider, for example, the professional golf tournament known as the John Deere Classic, which takes place in the Iowa and illinois towns known as the Quad Cities each July. When I went in 2005, I found the blue and white MetLife blimp circling overhead, Michelob flowing from the taps at a fake bar erected as an advertisement near the eighth hole, and a dozen electronic scoreboards scattered over the course listing far more than the players' scores. Each of them included a four-by-six-foot sign that advertised sex, or more specifically, the by-prescription-only sexual aid known as Cialis." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Matthew Wallig, DVM, PhD, professor of comparative pathology at the University of illinois at Urbana-Champaign, discovered that crambene, one of the phytochemicals in cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli), is more active when combined with another better-known cruciferous phyto-chemical, indole-3-carbinol. There's also evidence that components in broccoli have synergy with components in other plant foods." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "PhD, professor of food science and human nutrition at the University of illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He decided to start looking at foods in combination as a way to learn more about real diets eaten by real people. "People don't eat nutrients, they eat food. And they don't eat one food, they eat many foods in combination," he explains. Studies that examine individual nutrients in isolation are really not designed to tell us anything about the interactions that occur between those substances, much less between foods that each contain their own anti-disease arsenals.

"Take the Stein-grabers of illinois, the family of the lyrical environmental writer Sandra Steingraber, author of Living Downstream and Having Faith. Hers was a cancer-prone family for sure. The writer-daughter, her mother, three uncles, and a first cousin all got the disease. Could their shared disease have something to do with the pesticide-sodden wheat and cornfields of illinois, and the huge grain silos surrounding their small town? We can't say. But we know it had nothing to do with shared genes: Sandra and all those with cancer in her family are not related by blood." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)
