"Seth Lloyd, mit professor and designer of the first feasible quantum computer "A long time ago, the Great Programmer wrote a program that runs all possible universes on His Big Computer." ?Jiirgen Schmidhuber, pioneer in artificial intelligence We live our lives based on what we believe. When we think about the truth of this statement, we immediately recognize a startling reality: Beyond anything else that we may actually do in our lives, the beliefs that precede our actions are the foundation of all that we cherish, dream, become, and accomplish." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"In 2000, mit received a commitment of $350 million for the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, one of the largest gifts ever given to a university. mit followed that up with the announcement of another $50 million bequest for brain studies, the largest bequest ever given to that institution by a private foundation. The McKnight Foundation, supported with money from the 3M Company, has funded brain research centers at the universities of Florida, Miami, and Alabama, as well as scholars at universities all over the country." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"There was work done at mit and Harvard that showed how carbohydrates raise serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is calming and tends to put children to sleep. On the other hand, protein provides the necessary amino acids that are precursors of attention-grabbing neurotransmitters, namely norepinephrine and dopamine. No wonder children who have high carbohydrate breakfasts and lunches can't concentrate at school." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"In his own work on quantum physics at mit, Ed Mitchell had learned that at the subatomic level, the Newtonian, or classical, view - that everything works in a comfortably predictable manner - had long been replaced by messier and indeterminate quantum theories, which suggest that the universe and the way it works are not quite as tidy as scientists used to think. Matter at its most fundamental level could not be divided into independently existing units or even be fully described." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Conventional medicine views DIT and mit as biologically inactive "slough off" products of thyroid-hormone synthesis. However, it is possible that these compounds have important functions that we have not yet discovered. DIT and mit are not contained in synthetic thyroid-hormone preparations, but they are found in the whole thyroid extract prescribed by many doctors of natural medicine." - Jonathan V.

"Nonetheless, he went to mit and became a highly successful aeronautical engineer, as well as a croquet champion and top bridge player. In 1993, after his brother had a heart attack, John started seeing a cardiologist who prescribed medication that he would have to take for the rest of his life. Ten years later, he experienced shortness of breath. He failed a stress test, then had an angiogram, which revealed 80 percent blockage of two major arteries and 100 percent blockage of a third. Not surprisingly, he was scheduled for open-heart bypass surgery." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"The Dalai Lama himself may travel to Harvard University or mit or the University of Wisconsin to discuss meditation with brain scientists. At a different level, ordinary people may embark on private Eastward journeys of their own, buying books full of Asian spiritual teachings, venturing into unfamiliar clinics and centers, or apprenticing themselves to teachers who train them in exotic practices like qigong." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"In the early 1970s, Richard Wurtman, a neuroendocrinologist from mit, found that mood is related to concentrations of certain chemicals called neurotransmitters in the brain and that, by eating certain foods or taking specific nutrients, an individual can raise the level of these brain chemicals and thus feel better.11 The three neurotransmitters that most influence behavior are serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Serotonin Serotonin is the neurotransmitter known to ease anxiety and promote a sense of well-being." - Linda Ojeda, Menopause Without Medicine: The Trusted Women's Resource with the Latest Information on HRT, Breast Cancer, Heart Disease and Natural Estrogens (Get the book.)

"The only apparent benefit was a slight reduction in distress among the mit patients prior to their procedure. Otherwise, the large-scale MANTRA was a failure. Prayer did not seem to make anybody better.6 Among the long-term effects, there had been some therapeutic effects in alleviating emotional distress, need for further hospitalization, and even death rates after six months, but these were not considered statistically significant and they hadn't been the main focus of the study." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"MIT in molecular biology) named Jon Kabat-Zinn. In 1979, he persuaded officials at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester to let him set up a program in which patients suffering from chronic pain or other chronic disorders would be trained in "the regular, disciplined practice of moment-to-moment awareness or mindfulness, the complete 'owning' of each moment of your experience, good, bad, or ugly." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"Anthony graduated from mit, and after serving an apprenticeship in corporate America, he started his own international business, with headquarters in Cleveland. Through his family's many contacts in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, he set up operations in Southeast Asia to develop metalworking industries. He traveled a great deal, and whether at home or on the road, he continued to be—his own description—a "glutton." "I was gaining weight," he says, "but since I had my clothes tailor-made in Hong Kong, I'd have a suit made every trip, and didn't really notice that the old suits didn't fit." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Inflation himself—Alan Guth, whose office at mit was only a 20-minute drive away from Tufts. So I did just that—I drove to the famous institute for a meeting with Alan. MIT occupies a monstrous conglomeration of buildings, where I have gotten hopelessly lost on many occasions. You may walk on the third floor of building 6 and suddenly discover that you are already on the fourth floor of building 16. I decided to play it safe and took the simplest, although the longest, way to my destination: through the main entrance (marked by a row of Corinthian columns and crowned with a green dome)." - Alex Vilenkin, Many Worlds in One: The Search for Other Universes (Get the book.)

"Thomas More, a psychiatrist who used to be a visionary scientist but now considers himself just an old-fashioned "psyche-iatrist"—a "physician of the soul, one of the last survivors in a horde of Texas brain mechanics, mit neurone [sic] circuitrists"—is released from federal prison after two years of incarceration for selling prescription amphetamines at a truck stop." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Kabat-Zinn received his PhD in molecular biology in 1971 from mit.

"Mortality was lowest of all among patients given mit with prayer. These results had been characterized only as a "suggestive trend," but may have been the entire point of the story. Praying worked if the person doing the praying—or his prayers—also had been prayed for? Healing and positive intention are simply an aspect of the constant two-way flow of communication between living things. In the person being sent intention, a shared belief in the power of the healing modality and a positive state of mind may enhance results." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"FDA," Nader wrote in a chapter about cosmetics safety for the 1974 book Consumer Health and Product Hazards, published by mit Press (a book I co-edited). "However, there are also many negative factors. For successful voluntary action, a basic consensus must exist between industry and the FDA. This will usually reflect, in major part, the industry judgment of the seriousness of the issue. Thus, a company will not usually accept any proposed voluntary action that runs counter to what it judges to be its real interests." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"Despite what he'd learned in quantum physics about the nature of the universe, during his years at mit, it seemed that biology remained mired in a 400-year-old view of the world. The current biological model still seemed to be based on a classical Newtonian view of matter and energy, of solid, separate bodies moving predictably in empty space, and a Cartesian view of the body as separate from the soul, or mind." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Discussion on the role of diet in raising serotonin levels was initiated in the research of Fernstrom at the University of Pittsburgh [1] and Wurtman and Wurtman at mit [2]. Although these data have not been widely replicated, they have been carefully produced and are well considered within nutritional science. This information has been widely promulgated in the public domain through the popular literature referencing food and mood." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"He accepted a place offered at Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore, Maryland, which has the best outpatient radiology department in the USA, and later trained at Massachusetts General Hospital, which is affiliated with mit. After a fellowship in radiology in Zurich, Walter was finally able to return to Germany, where he now had the appropriate qualifications to officially lay hands on the machine. Taking pictures of the brain and soft tissues of the body with MRI is ordinarily a matter of getting to the water lurking in the various nooks and crevices." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Francis Schmitt, an mit academic, wrote in March 1941 to a colleague at Washington University: I have a very high regard for Dr. Wrinch . . . Her originality is most refreshing and I enjoy chatting with her on biological and chemical matters. I can foresee difficulties, however, in fitting her ... in a department of biology ... at mit. It may be that she will eventually find a solution to her problem by taking a position in a mathematics department which will permit her to devote considerable time to her investigations on protein structure . . . The double-talk is obvious." - Anthony Serafini, Linus Pauling: A Man and His Science (Get the book.)

"Immediately prior to undergoing angioplasty, those assigned to receive mit would be instructed in a method of relaxed breathing while visualizing a favorite place and listening to calming music of their choice. They would then receive healing touch for 15 minutes from a trained practitioner. These patients could also wear headphones during surgery." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "To test this question, Zeilinger employed a piece of equipment called a Talbot Lau interferometer, developed by some colleagues at mit, using a variation on the famous double-slit experiment of Thomas Young, a British physicist of the nineteenth century. In Young's experiment, a beam of pure light is sent through a single hole, or slit, in a piece of cardboard, then passes through a second screen with two holes before finally arriving at a third, blank screen." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Getting his doctorate in astrophysics from mit was the way he thought he'd be indispensable ?that's how deliberately he'd plotted his path toward NASA - and only afterward did it occur to him to boost the flying time he'd gained overseas to qualify. Nevertheless, Ed was no slouch when it came to flying. Like all the other fellows, he'd put in his time at Chuck Yeager's flying circus in the Mojave Desert, getting airplanes to do things they'd never been designed to do. At one point, he'd even been their instructor." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Former mit physicist Milo Wolff summed up the radical implications of the vacuum viewed as a fundamental medium. According to Wolff, this medium is the single source of matter and natural law in the universe. His conclusion: "Since the waves of each particle are intermingled with the waves of other matter and all contribute to the density of the medium, it follows that every charged particle is part of the universe and the universe is part of each charged particle." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)
