"This is true not only in pristine areas like northern Maine, but in cities like New York and los angeles. In los angeles, approximately 108 tons of volatile organic compounds are released daily from household cleaners, personal grooming products, and paints. These domestic emissions are about to overtake car emissions as the primary source of the city's outdoor air pollution. Some schools and hospitals are replacing chemical-based cleaning agents with natural alternatives." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"In 1976, los angeles County registered a sudden reduction of its death rate by eighteen percent when many medical doctors went on strike against the increase of health insurance premiums for malpractice. In a study by Dr. Milton Roemer from the University of California, los angeles, 17 of the largest hospitals in the county showed a total of 60 percent fewer operations during the period of the strike. When the doctors resumed work and medical activities went back to normal, death rates also returned to pre-strike levels. A similar event took place in Israel in 1973." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Food, the Over-the-Counter Tranquilizer Christine, a forty-year-old patient of mine, had just moved back to los angeles from Alabama. While she was living in the South she gained fifty pounds. It wasn't just the down-home cooking, it was being in an abusive relationship and then living alone in an unsafe neighborhood. She was already ashamed about her weight when she moved back home to L.A.—after all she used to be a model?but she was determined to have a fresh start.

"Obesity can diminish your energy level, interfere with social success, and even reduce earnings, as a recent study that appeared in the los angeles Times showed. The study measured overall wealth at age thirty-nine 11 for 2,000 people who had been followed since adolescence. Those with a normal weight had twice as much accumulated wealth.

As I said in the Introduction, you have installed food as a psychological coping mechanism in addition to being a source of nutrition." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"Selected Research In 2003, researchers in los angeles, Austria, and Israel reported for the first time that magnesium supplementation significantly improved cardiac exercise tolerance and chest pain, as well as quality of life, in patients with CAD. The 187 patients in this study, already on medication programs, had been randomly assigned either a daily magnesium supplement (365 mg) or a placebo pill for six months." - 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.)

"While in los angeles several years ago, I heard Patti Davis, daughter of Ronald Reagan, attack the Bush administration for its opposition to stem cell research. Since people had pointed out to her that she might be articulating excessive hope for stem cells and AD, she insisted that there is no such thing as false hope. While I appreciated Patti's sentiment, I disagree. Creating high expectations and then dashing hope when the great weight of reality crashes down potentially creates more misery and suffering in the long run and is ethically and scientifically questionable." - Peter J.

"These are the same pesticides that California sprayed all over the city of los angeles, where there were people who were having all kinds of symptoms, especially when they would spray in two adjacent areas consecutively. If you lived in the cusp between two areas, you got a double dose. In New York in 1999, the entire city was sprayed several days in a row. —Dr. Richard Kunin These case histories are among many in which exposure to substances was decisive, and proper diagnosis by a holistic practitioner led to a successful treatment outcome." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Lynne Freeman, director of the Open Doors Institute in los angeles, also recommends calcalcarea carbonica, essentially derived from oyster shells. According to Dr. Freeman, "a homeopath takes a lot of things into consideration, not just your physical symptoms, your anxiety reactions, but your personality and how you think and operate in the world. If a remedy is not prescribed properly, if the energy is too strong, some people may experience heart palpitations, which can translate into more anxiety reactions, so homeopathic remedies really have to be properly prescribed." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"He'd served briefly as police commissioner in Burbank, a suburb of los angeles. Price would be in the dispatch room and as soon as a crime had been reported, he'd scan the city mentally. Once he settled on a place, he'd immediately send a car to the location in his mind. Invariably, he claimed, he'd caught his man, just at the spot he'd visualized. On a whim, Puthoff gave Price the coordinates given to him by the CIA.

"Not surprisingly, los angeles topped the American Lung Association's bad air 2007 list of most polluted cities in America. But there are signs of improvement: the number of days residents breathed the nation's worst ozone levels was fewer than in previous years. According to the EPA, the levels of six pollutants, including ozone and particulate matter, have declined 54 percent since 1970 in the city, when the Clean Air Act became law." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "And certainly there are millions more who are somewhere in between, especially people who live in suburbs of sprawling metropolises like Houston, Philadelphia, los angeles, New York, and Chicago. That's a lot of time driving in dirty air. Nowadays we are more likely to drive cars that don't require diesel gas, but diesel-burning engines are still around us filling the air we breathe, from trucks and buses to roadside machinery and equipment that run on diesel gas (not to mention nearby factories and power plants).

"Marge, born September 29, 1904, is one of some 9,000 Seventh-day Adventists who live in and around Loma Linda, California, 60 miles east of los angeles. For the past half century, members of this community, whose faith endorses healthy living, have participated in a groundbreaking health and dietary study of Californians over the age of 25. The results of this study hold promising clues to another remarkable fact about these Adventists: As a group they currently lead the nation in longest life expectancy. Marge Jetton, I decided, was the Adventist poster girl." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Gueriguian told the los angeles Times, "Either you play games or you're going to be put off limits ... a pariah." Another FDA medical officer and former supporter of Rezulin, Dr. Robert I. Misbin, was threatened with dismissal by the FDA. His offense? He provided a copy of a letter to members of Congress from himself and other physician colleagues at the FDA expressing concern about the FDA's failure to withdraw Rezulin from the market after the FDA had linked it to 63 deaths due to liver failure.

"In 2006 two more major nail polish companies, Orly International and OPI of los angeles (the nation's largest manufacturer of nail polishes and nail treatment products), phased out DBP. (19) Additionally, Sally Hansen, a branch of the giant Del Laboratories and the leading drug store brand, agreed to phase out the use of formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate. (20) Responding to public pressure, OPI announced in 2007 that it was also removing toluene from its nail products.

"Not long afterward, Liane and I moved to los angeles for pilot season. While searching for an apartment, we stayed with Moyle, who owned a multiunit compound in Venice. Filmmakers, seekers, radical activists and other antiestablishment types were constantly dropping in. On any afternoon I might get my inner spirit "defreaked" by a pyramid-building musical healer or go to a group session with Allan's psychic du jour—a guy named Darryl Anka from Topanga Canyon, who could enter a trancelike state and channel an all-knowing extraterrestrial force named "Bashar." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Regional subdivisions include Closing the los angeles Marketplace Pathway (CLAMP) and Florida Interdiction and Smuggling Team (FIST). The FIST comes down hard, raiding suspicious greenhouses (like Richard Wilson's Excalibur Nurseries) with attack dogs and machine guns. The process of importing and exporting fruits is an unceasing stream of forms, e-mails, faxes and other flotsam. This paperwork, which has increased greatly since 9/11, ensures that any fruit crossing a border can be traceable to its warehouse of origin, in case of any terrorist maneuver involving produce." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Spring in los angeles announces itself with the arrival of loquats growing on trees all over the city And then come mangoes, followed by cherries, apricots and fresh strawberries in the late spring. All of this, of course, should be supplemented with local fruits tasted on travels. PART OF THE REASON we're confused about what to eat is that produce is one of the few areas where we aren't bombarded with advertising. Low profit margins inhibit major campaigns, and without much marketing influence, we buy fruits based on how they look—but as we know, looks can be deceiving." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "I also tried contacting Mindell at Pacific Western University in los angeles, where he is, according to his bio, a professor of nutrition. When I called, the university claimed that, according to their files, no Dr. Mindell had worked there, nor had it ever offered any classes in nutrition. Venomous debates have sprung up online regarding the juice's putative benefits. Not coincidentally the most vociferous defenders of the juice often happen to sell it. These salesmen's websites offer goji juice in shipments of four bottles for twelve monthly payments of $186—coming to over $2,200 per year." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Major universities, including the University of California at los angeles, have prestigious schools and research centers dedicated to studying alternative and complementary medicine and to training medical students in these practices. The benefits of acupuncture have been so established that more and more health insurance providers are including acupuncture among the tretments that they cover. You may have already seen acupuncture in practice or, given its prevalence, tried it yourself at some point. It involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Martin Shapiro, University of California, Los Angeles; made this unsettling remark about the precarious situation we are finding ourselves confronted with: "Cancer researchers, medical journals, and the popular media all have contributed to a situation in which many people with common malignancies are being treated with drugs not known to be effective.''' Many natural cures for cancer exist, more now than ever, but none of them are being researched, endorsed, or promoted by those who claim to be the health custodians of the nation." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"The details of the story were first presented in 2000 in a Pulitzer Prize-winning series of investigative reports by David Willman of the los angeles Times. Remarkably, as quickly as medical news travels, this story had no "legs" and went largely unheeded. Three years later David Willman wrote a similar story showing that the same problems were still there. Dr. Richard Eastman was the director of the NIH division in charge of diabetes research, and in charge of the $150 million Diabetes Prevention Program study." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"ISLAND IN THE BIG CITY Despite its location in the smoggy orbit of greater los angeles, Loma Linda appears to be one of the few places in the United States where a true Blue Zone has taken root. Adventists like Marge Jetton follow a faith that expressly discourages smoking, alcohol consumption, or eating foods deemed to be unclean in the Bible, such as pork. In fact, the religion discourages the consumption of meat in general, as well as rich foods, caffeinated drinks, and even "stimulating" condiments and spices." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)
