"Two weeks later, James's pain went away. We didn't have to change his anatomy by opening up a blocked artery. In his case, it was sufficient just to change the physiology of his blood flow with a common and inexpensive amino acid supplement you can buy at the health food store. It dilated his arteries and improved blood flow so that his heart got more oxygen and nutrients. James exercises now and can perform many more activities than he could do before. Conventional medicine might have called for a single-vessel bypass. Here he got an added supplement—just what his body needed." - 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.)

"Because his own portfolio worked so well for him, years later, as director of education working side by side with Marty Seligman, james shaped these ideas into a research project that he regularly assigns to students enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania's Master of Applied Positive Psychology program, the world's first degree program in positive psychology. I regularly serve as a guest faculty member in that master's program, and some of James's students have shared with me their experiences in making and using their own positivity portfolios." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.) "The idea of building these portfolios came to me from james Pawelski, director of education and senior scholar at the world's foremost Positive Psychology Center, at the University of Pennsylvania.10 As a budding positive psychologist, james was invited to interview for a job as an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University. He was both excited and nervous. To build his confidence for that interview, he created what I would call a pride portfolio." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"James, a twenty-year veteran physician of an intensive care unit, told us, "Those who make fast steps to recovery say, 'I have wonderful things to live for,' and are highly motivated by the thought of returning to their lives." james remembers some of his most successful patients: the airline pilot who vividly pictured himself back in the log cabin he painstakingly crafted with his own hands; the seamstress who imagined herself playing piano duets with her granddaughter again; the motorcycle accident victim who fought for his life so he could return to the mountain trails he cherished." - 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.)

"Dr. james Pearl, who is a member of the Sleep Panel at the Presbyterian St. Luke Medical Center in Denver and in private practice as a psychologist, adds that many different organ system disorders can affect sleep. Foremost among them is sleep apnea. "If you or your sleeping partner experiences problems with snoring, it's important to explore whether there might be some kind of breathing disorder," Dr. Pearl says. "Sleep apnea is an episode in which your breathing is interrupted for about 10 seconds. The person will stop breathing. Ten seconds later, you hear them suddenly gasp for air once." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"At forty-seven, as a distinguished professor of physics at the University of Chicago and former head of the james Franck Institute, Rosenbaum was in the vanguard of experimental physicists who liked exploring the limits of disorder in condensed-matter physics, the study of the inner workings of liquids and solids when their underlying order was disturbed.1 In physics, if you want to find out how something behaves, the best way is simply to make it uncomfortable and then see what happens." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "For ten years Rosenbaum and his students at the james Franck Institute had been asking that question of a small chunk of lithium holmium fluoride salt. Inside Rosenbaum's refrigerator lay a perfect chip of rose-colored crystal, no bigger than the head of a pencil, wrapped in two sets of copper coils. Over the years, after many experiments with spin glasses, Rosenbaum had grown very fond of these dazzling little specimens, one of the most naturally magnetic substances on Earth." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Recently, she has returned her books on Alzheimer's and borrowed two self-help books on successful aging: The Creative Age by Gene Cohen, and Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life by james Hollis. "Well, Fran," he tells her, "I think this is an opportune time to review the results of your test, which were actually quite positive. What they showed me was that though your visual-spatial capacity may be relatively weak, you are still very strong in verbal performance, which I would fully expect from someone who has spent her life around books." - 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.)

"I met Dr. james Roberts at a conference in Las Vegas and listened to his research on the utilization of D-ribose in the cardiac patient. D-ribose is a five-sided sugar that is the missing link in energy transformation. I was truly amazed by the presentation given by Dr. Roberts, and we have become colleagues over the past few years. I have such a genuine respect for Dr. Roberts that I asked him to write the introduction to this book. Dr." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"As an EEG reads the activity of an individual brain, by attaching electrodes over its surface, so they might be able to take readings of the mind of Gaia, as many people liked to refer to the world. james Lovelock had coined the name, after the Greek goddess of the earth, with his hypothesis that the world is a living entity with its own consciousness.10 Perhaps they could set up a network of REGs dotted all over the world. The world EEG would be run continuously, taking a constant temperature of the state of the collective mind." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"In 2007, Dr. james Roberts and I coauthored a book entitled Reverse Heart Disease Now (Wiley) which focused on reversing cardiovascular plaque from the integrative point of view. After using D-ribose dozens and dozens of times and becoming convinced of its efficacy, I wrote a newsletter article about it in my Sinatra Health Report. I wanted to give this new and vital information about the emerging field I call "metabolic cardiology" to my 50,000-plus subscribers." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"It may be precisely because of this difference that psychologist William james said that the power to move the world is in the subconscious mind. It's fast and works instinctively, without our thoughts and considerations getting in the way and slowing it down. The ability to react rapidly and instinctively can be a good thing when we must make quick decisions. If we see a truck heading directly for us, for example, and it's a really big one, moving really fast, our subconscious mind reacts with everything it needs to get us out of the way." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "It may be precisely because of this effect that William james, M.D., the man known as the "father" of psychology, never actually practiced the medicine that he was trained to offer." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "Living in the 19th and early 20th centuries, William james was one of the most influential people of his time. A Renaissance man in the modern era, he was very clear regarding his view of the role that consciousness and belief play in our lives, even before he became a psychologist. In his 1904 paper "Does 'Consciousness' Exist?" he states that sometimes what we experience in consciousness is intangible and "figures as a thought."31 At other times, however, he says that it figures as a "thing," becoming real in our lives." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"As William james once wrote, human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. Language is the tool we can use to activate a new story for brain aging. To think differently, we must speak differently. "If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world." - 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.)

"This mind/body relationship was documented recently in a landmark study at Duke University directed by james Blumenthal.' He identified long-term experiences of fear, frustration, anxiety, and disappointment as examples of the kind of heightened negative emotions that are destructive to the heart and put us at risk. Each is part of a broader umbrella that we commonly identify as "hurt." Additional studies support the existence of this relationship." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"So how are these kids supposed to have the biochemistry to allow their bodies and brains to function? Dr. james D. Gordon, clinical professor at the Georgetown University School of Medicine, tells his patients to start with an experiment: "Cut out the processed food, cut out the sugar, cut out the additives and in some cases, cut out certain foods that may be likely to cause food sensitivities—wheat and milk and milk products, maybe corn. See what happens. In many cases, a kid's behavior has turned around almost 180 degrees." This needs to be a part of our collective consciousness. Dr." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Vegetables by james Peterson is a comprehensive guide to buying, storing, and of course preparing sixty-four different vegetables. Environmental Toxins Raising Healthy Children in a Toxic World: 101 Smart Solutions for Every Family by Phil Landrigan, Herbert Needleman, and Mary Landrigan is an absolutely essential book, with a ton of practical suggestions for safeguarding your kids from environmental toxins." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"But others, like psychologist William james, had proposed that the brain simply reflects this collective intelligence, like a radio station picking up signals and transmitting them. As Radin and his colleagues observed the apparent ability of the human mind to extend its boundaries, natural questions arose about whether the effects get larger when many individuals operate in unison and indeed whether a collective global mind ever operated as a unity. If coherence could develop between individuals and their environment, was there also a possibility of group coherence?" - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "We, the jury, in the above-entitled action, find the Defendant, Orenthal james Simpson, not guilty,'read Mrs Robertson. O.J. Simpson, so impassive through most of the trial, broke into a triumphant smile. O.J. was cleared on both counts. It was the final twist in the tale. The television audience was stunned by the jury's decision, and so were five other silent observers - all REG computers, one at the PEAR lab, another at the University of Amsterdam and three more at the University of Nevada." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "Nevertheless, there was an errant streak in him, a fascination with what William james, the founder of psychology in America, had termed 'white crows'. Braud liked anomalies, the things in life that didn't fit, the assumptions that could be turned askew. Just a few years after he'd got his PhD, the 1960s had loosened up the tight hold of Pavlov and Skinner on his imagination. At the time, Braud had been teaching classes in memory, motivation and learning at the University of Houston. Recently, he'd become interested in work showing a remarkable property of the human brain." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"The Delaney clause, named after Congressman james Delaney of New York and tacked onto the Federal Food, Drugs, and Cosmetic Act in 1958, said, "the Secretary [of the Food and Drug Administration] shall not approve for use in food any chemical additive found to induce cancer in man, or, after tests, found to induce cancer in animals. * Not any. Zero. That may sound like a bold statement to make and a clause difficult to bend, but in fact, plenty of abuses of this clause did occur. There were plenty of loopholes to be found that resulted in lots of known carcinogens ending up in foods." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "When baker james Dewar invented the Twinkie in 1930, he used real ingredients—flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, eggs, and cream. Today's Twinkie has morphed into a scientific experiment; while Twinkies still do contain traces of the original ingredients, they also hold thirty-seven other ingredients that you won't find in your pantry. The creamy white filling is made mostly from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and/or beef fat; polysorbate 60 is added to it, which is a gooey substance derived from corn, palm oil, and petroleum that helps replace cream and eggs at a fraction of the cost." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "It was founded by james and Nancy Chuda in 1991 after their daughter Colette died from Wilms' tumor, a rare form of nonhereditary cancer. Unfortunately, children can sometimes bear the brunt of our toxic environment. Their bodies are still developing, especially their immune systems, and they tend to come into greater contact with surfaces and objects that can potentially contain dangerous residues or vapors. A baby crawling on a soft and plush yet chemically treated carpet can pick up more hazards than from a cold, concrete floor." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"One was james White, Ellen's husband, who provided the administrative genius and ran a publishing company. The other major figure was Joseph Bates, a very successful sea captain and intellectual who introduced this whole health emphasis," Giang said. "Long before it became a part of the Adventist religion, Bates had decided to give up smoking, alcohol, and consuming any meat, coffee, tea, or spices. Imagine: As far back as the 1820s, Bates ran a temperance ship; he wouldn't allow his crew to drink on a voyage across the ocean." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Scientist james Oschman says, "Mechanists hold that life obeys the laws of chemistry and physics, and will ultimately be totally explained by those laws. In contrast, vitalists have historically held to the belief that life will never be explained by normal physics and chemistry, and that there is some kind of mysterious 'life force' that is separate from the known laws of nature and that distinguishes living from nonliving matter. This concept is ancient and universal, appearing in some form or another in many different cultures and religions." Similarly, Gita Elgin, Ph.D." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) "RELATIONSHIP TO AN ENVIRONMENT FILLED WITH SPIRIT In looking at an environment filled with spirit we turn to james Lovelock's Gaia theory that states: "the earth behaves as a living organism, and that life actively creates the environment it needs to survive by maintaining environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and composition of the atmosphere." The Gaia theory also "sees the earth as a responsive supra-organism that will tend to resist adverse environmental change and maintain 'homeostasis." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) "The energy body is like a template of our physical body, so all that is embedded in our energy body affects our physical health. james Oschman in his book Energy Medicine, the Scientific Basis reports on the research of Dr. Harold Burr, "All living things, from mice to men, from seeds to trees, are formed and controlled by fields that can be measured with standard detectors. The fields reflect physical and mental conditions, and can therefore be useful for diagnosis." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"The medical historian james Harvey Young wrote that Lambert increased Listerine's net earnings forty-fold through the ad campaign. The advertisements, he said, raised worries in readers' minds with slogans like this one: "You 5,000,000 women who want to get married: How's Your Breath Today?" "This coined word frightened the continent," Young wrote, "not because bad breath was a fatal malady but because it was a social disaster." Of all the categories of medical disorders, none is better suited for "condition branding," Parry explained, than the field of anxiety and depression." - 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.)
