"Diagnosis of Candida can be very elusive, especially through traditional laboratory testing, but through my experience, using the above method has proven to be fairly accurate and much less costly than complicated laboratory tests.39 When a person does embark on a Candida elimination program, their body will likely go through some reactions. As the Candida die-off happens, toxins released by the dying Candida can cause a worsening of the previous symptoms, including fatigue, concentration and memory problems, and muscle and joint pains." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Laboratory Tested: A laboratory sounds so scientific—but any place a study is done can be referred to as a "laboratory" setting. Once you get past the scientific impression the term may give you, you realize that the testing issues are rarely logical, and that the tests are often engineered in advance to give the company precisely the results they paid for. Patented Secrets or Patented Ingredients: There is no such thing as a patented secret. The very concept is an oxymoron. The only way to obtain a patent is to divulge the complete contents of the product and its intended use!" - Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition (Get the book.)

"Because of the lack of standardized measuring techniques among laboratories, you should have all your Hb A tests read by the same laboratory or always by labs that are standardized to the national DCCT reference method. This will not be an issue if you go to the same doctor or clinic, but if you move, change doctors, or go to a different clinic, you should ask for the name of the test-reacting laboratory to ensure it is the same one that read your previous tests." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"Their eyes, in the laboratory, were forced to view objects at less than 20 inches distance. The scientists found that 75% of monkeys developed myopia within three months. In addition, the scientists checked the monkeys in an "open" visual environment. Guess what: Virtually no monkeys were nearsighted in this group. Only when they were placed in a laboratory did their focal status change toward nearsightedness (Young, 1965)." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"When Zuse began to think of the universe as a computer, he was considering how it seemed to work like the one in his laboratory. The resemblance led him to suspect that not only were they similar in the way they operated, but also the way they processed information. He began to look for equivalent functions for his computer in the universe. Reasoning that the bit is the smallest unit of information that a computer processes, he considered the atom—the smallest unit of matter that retains its elemental properties—as its equivalent." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Only when they were placed in a laboratory did their focal status change toward nearsightedness (Young, 1965). One of the most convincing studies on the environmental development of a negative focal status (nearsightedness) was conducted with a large number of Eskimos in Alaska (Young, 1969). The study showed that almost no nearsightedness existed in the grandparents. A small amount existed in the parents, and a large amount developed in the children. This study was carried out on a sample of 508 people, ages 6 to 88. No myopic error was found among the oldest generation—older than 50 years." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"It requires special laboratory equipment and highly trained personnel not available at most hospitals. However, Quest Laboratories will provide the service throughout the United States. In general, I recommend that if any patient fails to respond to standard levels of coenzyme Q10 intervention (90-150 mg per day), it is essential to obtain a blood level for coenzyme Q10." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "When tested in the laboratory, many of these products show a total lack of dissolution, indicating that their bioavailability is negligible and they will be poorly absorbed. One study compared the bioavailability of three commercially available sol-ubilized forms of coenzyme Qiq against each other and against a baseline reference of one commercially available nonsolubilized coenzyme Qi0 hard capsule powder preparation." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "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.) "On weekends, Crane experimented in the laboratory alone. At one point, he chopped up cauliflower, centrifuged the mush, and separated out the mitochondria. This extracurricular sleuthing led to the discovery of carotenoids in the cauliflower. Crane thought these could be the missing link. Returning to the beef hearts, he found a small amount of carotenoids as well as a yellowish substance that had different properties. He collected his material, stashed it in the lab's refrigerator, and continued studying the carotenoids." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Although I moved away from direct laboratory work as this evolution was taking place in the 1980s and 1990s, I hired several molecular scientists in my organization and have stayed connected to the molecular "march of progress." As Francis Collins's quote at the beginning of the chapter suggests, the molecular medicine paradigm has promised to spawn an era of personalized medicine—a new age in which information about your genetic makeup may be used to tailor individual strategies for the detection, treatment, or prevention of disease." - 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.)

"Whether our attention is focused on a quantum particle during a laboratory experiment or anything else—from the healing of our bodies to the success of our careers and relationships—we have expectations and beliefs about what we're watching. Sometimes we're consciously aware of these preconceptions, but often we're not. It's these inner experiences that become part of what we're focused on. By "watching," we become part of what we're watching. In the words of Wheeler, that makes us all "participators." The reason?" - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "The problem was that the theory didn't pan out in laboratory tests. The experiments showed that animals kept their memories and continued their lives even though the parts of their brains that were believed to be responsible for such functions were removed. In other words, there wasn't a direct link between the memories and a physical place in the brain. It was obvious that the mechanical view of brain and memory wasn't the answer. Something else was happening?something that turned out to be both mysterious and wonderful." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"More important, they discovered through the findings of other researchers and clinicians worldwide, as we have, that "the diet that has time and again been shown to reverse and/or prevent [diseases caused by animal protein consumption] is the same whole-foods, plant based diet found to promote optimal health in laboratory research and in the China Study. The findings are consistent..''37 LYMPHOMA In Norway, 15,914 individuals were followed for eleven and a half years. Those drinking two or more glasses of milk per day had 3.5 times the incidence of cancer of the lymphatic organs." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "The reason for the role of dairy is that the dairy intake creates a chronic immunological stress that tends to cause lymphomas in laboratory animals and also possibly in humans. We know that ingestion of cow's milk can produce generalized lymphopathy, swollen liver, swollen spleen, and significant adenoid hypertrophy. It can be hypothesized that meat protein adds its general carcinogenic effect to the specific carcinogenic effect on the lymph from dairy. OVARIAN CANCER Drinking more than one glass of milk a day, or its equivalent, has been shown to give women a 3." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "A remarkable discovery that a single injection of alloxan can produce diabetes mellitus in laboratory animals was made in 1942, in Glasgow, by John Shaw Dunn and Norman McLetchie.19 Scientists and FDA officials have known about this connection for years. Alloxan causes diabetes by creating free radical damage to the DNA in the beta cells of the pancreas. The Textbook of Natural Medicine calls alloxan a "potent beta cell toxin." It is unfortunate that the FDA still allows companies to use it to process foods we eat." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Louis, Missouri, and member of the National Academy of Science, found that mice in his laboratory in which the administration of MSG had resulted in retinal damage, had become grotesquely obese. Since 1969, many scientists have confirmed Dr. Olney's findings of damage to the hypothalamus from MSG with resulting obesity. There is abundant literature demonstrating that MSG and aspartic acid cause hypothalamic lesions, which, in turn, can cause gross obesity." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"This will not be an issue if you go to the same doctor or clinic, but if you move, change doctors, or go to a different clinic, you should ask for the name of the test-reacting laboratory to ensure it is the same one that read your previous tests. Although the Hb A test typically provides useful information, it may not always be accurate if you have had a change in diet or treatment within the preceding six weeks or if you are pregnant, because glucose and insulin levels shift: frequently during those times." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"The results reinforce other data showing that new polycarbonate bottles leach small amounts of BPA, which in animal tests has been shown to cause "abnormalities in the mammary and prostate glands and the female eggs of laboratory animals" as well as accelerating puberty and adding to weight gain. What's even scarier: Every year, we produce 6 billion pounds of BPA, which is also found in some hard plastic water coolers, water bottles, microwave-safe dishes, even inside the linings of tin cans. We're exposed to it around the clock." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"In his laboratory in England, physicist Geoffrey Ingram Taylor began his demonstration as he found a way to shoot the stuff that atoms are made of—quantum particles of light called photons—from a projector to a target a short distance away.6 Here's the key: Before the photons could reach the target, they had to pass through a barrier that had two openings. Just as water is able to travel through the many holes in a window screen when it thaws from ice to liquid, Taylor's experiment showed that the photons did something very similar." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"A biopsy from Cedillo's GI tract was sent in 2003 to Unigenetics, an Irish laboratory headed by Dr. John O'Leary, which reported finding the RNA. O'Leary and his colleagues had published a paper a year earlier that disclosed the discovery of measles RNA in the guts of several autistic children. (Measles virus and autism. O'Leary JJ, Uhlmann V, Wakefield AJ., Lancet. 2000 Aug 26;356(9231):772.) The lab also was said to have found evidence of measles in spinal taps of autistic children, but those results were never published." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"The family gave us permission to install a high-speed wireless Internet connection and to convert the open-aired dining pavilion—a sheltered, bush-flanked slab of cement—into a longevity laboratory and video-production house. Each night we'd create reports and short videos for an online audience who'd track our progress and offer their insights. Our first recruit was Dr. Gianni Pes, who discovered with Michel the first Blue Zone in Sardinia. Like Michel, he was a careful, skeptical scientist, not inclined to jump to conclusions." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "Craig Willcox postulates that this simple but powerful practice may amount to a painless version of caloric restriction—a strategy that has been shown to prolong life in laboratory animals and has been associated with better heart health in humans. Some of the benefits of cutting calories may lie in reduced cellular damage from free radicals. But there's another happy by-product: You lose weight. Losing just 10 percent of one's body weight helps to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, which reduces the risk of heart disease. But how do we achieve this?" - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Our ability to identify toxins in the body is limited by what we know to look for, and how well we can find toxins based on current laboratory technology. Given the fact that many toxins hide deep in our tissues and tucked away in fat cells, I am prone to think we have much more to learn about this toxic library of possibilities. Uncovering how toxic exposure affects the human body is an emerging field of study that involves scientists, medical doctors, and engineers worldwide." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "These companies offer a large variety of laboratory testing, including forty-one different tests for toxins. These tests can range in cost from $79 to $359. (Please note that I am not affiliated with any of these labs, but have used them in the past and at this writing trust them to be reliable. You'll find information on these labs, plus other resources including government agencies and health care facilities in the Resource Directory.) Why can't you ask your family doctor for help? Unfortunately, your own physician is limited in the kinds of tests he can perform on you." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "As noted before, however, I recommend that you consult with your physician as you embark on this program and share with him or her your experience (and your results, if you do choose to go to a specialty laboratory). As with any program that involves your health, you should make this a team effort with your family physician. You may even bring new insights to your doctor and add value and knowledge to his practice that can then be passed on to other patients. Specialty testing definitely has its merits, but it is not usually necessary unless you are dealing with serious health issues." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)
