"Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897) The western world looks after the sick, and doctors are paid for making ill patients better. But is this the most efficient way to keep people healthy? In some eastern countries, the approach is reversed. The focus is on preventive care and healers are paid for keeping people well. When their 'patients' do become ill, it is still their responsibility to care for them and restore them to good health." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"The energy loan needs to be paid off, and according to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the larger the energy borrowed from the vacuum, the faster it has to be repaid. Virtual electrons and positrons typically disappear in about one-trillionth of a nanosecond. Heavier particles last even less than that, as they require more energy to materialize. Now, what Tryon was suggesting was that our entire universe, with its vast amount of matter, was a huge quantum fluctuation, which somehow failed to disappear for more than 10 billion years. Everybody thought that was a very funny joke." - Alex Vilenkin, Many Worlds in One: The Search for Other Universes (Get the book.)

"Roman Legions were paid in salt. The Latin word for salt is "sal," from which our word "salary" is derived. Our bodies need salt, but not common table salt (sodium chloride), or any of the other refined salts. Certain elements found in sea salt are essential for life.54 Without a properly-balanced salt base we run out of electrolytes, and our "batteries die out." Refined table salt, and even many of the processed "sea salts" available from healthfood stores, can promote pathological calcification and a breakdown of cellular tissue." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Peter's persistence paid off handsomely on the day he realized that the ninety-six internal meridians he had been mapping could be ordered into twelve groups. In TCM, there are twelve main meridians. However, Peter had never made the assumption that there were only twelve major information pathways in the body, so he had been experimenting with nearly one hundred primary and secondary meridians. He had spent innumerable hours organizing his voluminous data, trying to find order and connections, applying different mathematical schemas to the data." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"In previous years, Colgate-Palmolive bought Tom's of Maine, the natural toothpaste and deodorant manufacturer, for $100 million, and L'Oreal paid $1.4 billion for the Body Shop chain of natural product stores. Unfortunately, this has meant that these companies' previously safe products are in danger of being laced with problematic chemical ingredients as the companies' new corporate parents cut manufacturing corners or try to maximize company profits. As large corporations made similar in-roads into organic foods, they lobbied the U.S." - 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.) "The Council maintains dozens of fulltime lobbyists at the federal and state levels of government and with this highly paid team has pursued an aggressive political agenda against what it considers to be "unreasonable or unnecessary labeling or warning requirements." Among its many successes in stifling public disclosure was blocking a bill in the New York legislature that would have required a cancer warning label on cosmetic talc powder. An essential part of the Council's work is to reassure consumers that everything they buy is safe, everything is under control, and no one needs to worry." - 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.) "We see a reckless indifference to them on the part of many industries, federal institutions, and organizations, including the multibilhon-dollar mainstream cosmetics and personal care products industry; powerful global trade associations backed by paid "scientists"; governmental institutions, particularly the National Cancer Institute; and cancer "charities," particularly the American Cancer Society, along with similar cancer establishments worldwide." - 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.) "Little attention within either government or industry was paid to this warning. Rather than wait for ingredients in consumer products to cause harm to public health, as remains the tradition in the U.S., many European policymakers in the early 1990s began pushing for the establishment of a legal "precautionary principle" based on the idea that harm to consumer health should not need to established with "full scientific certainty" before corrective action is taken. Manufacturers would have to prove their product ingredients were safe to use before marketing them to consumers." - 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.)

"You tried jogging but didn't get too far before the knee felt unstable and caused you to limp. You paid a price for the next few days with increased swelling, discomfort, and limping. You have a friend who had a similar experience last year. He saw Dr. Jones, a local orthopedist who obtained an mri of the knee followed by arthroscopy to remove a torn meniscus. That was a year ago, followed by several months of physical therapy, then progressive exercises. Only now is he back to speed." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"You can encourage positive thinking and promote higher self-esteem by treating each disappointing grade as an opportunity to show your child how to look on the bright side and to point out the ways in which his or her efforts have paid off. As cliched as the concept of an "A for effort" is, you should stress this idea with your child while also doing the following: • Pointing out all the things he or she did right on an assignment. • Discussing the simple things he or she can do to improve the grade. • Encouraging him or her to ask for help when needed." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Yet Pan was benign to those who paid him worship, yielding the boons of the divine hygiene of nature: bounty to the farmers, herders, and fisherfolk who dedicated their first fruits to him, and health to all who properly approached his shrines of healing. Also wisdom, the wisdom of Omphalos, the World Navel, was his to bestow; for the crossing of the threshold is the first step into the sacred zone of the universal source. At Lykaion was an oracle, presided over by the nymph Erato, whom Pan inspired, as Apollo the prophetess at Delphi." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"In some cases, the doctors are working as paid consultants to the same companies whose drugs are coming up for approval by their advisory committees. For instance, as reported by USA Today on October 16, 2004 ("Cholesterol Guidelines Become a Morality Play") eight of the nine doctors who formed a committee in 2001 to advise the government on cholesterol guidelines for the public were making money from the very same companies that made the cholesterol-lowering drugs that the doctors were urging millions of Americans to take. For example, one of the committee members, Dr. H." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"When the load arrives, inspectors who have been paid off declare that the fruit has gone off, meaning the importer can make a claim and get his or her money back. Instead of dumping the fruits, however, or sending them back (by the time they'd return to wherever they came from they'd really be rotten), the wholesaler sells them. Jimmy explains how easy it is for buyers to "rook" a grower. "It's about building their trust. 'Send me a load,' I pay it. 'Send me another load,' I pay it. Now I have a good reputation, see? Then I tell them I want to make a move. " - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "In developing nations, workers on gigantic plantations are paid pennies to swing machetes through the sweltering heat, drenched in viscous tree latex and their own sweat, facing lethal levels of pesticide exposure and contending with enormous spiders and scorpions. Epidemiologic studies of field workers show they have increased health problems such as lymphoma, Parkinson's and a gaggle of cancers." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "A duty must be paid on the beauty The search for forever is never-ending. We might lose ourselves in the symbolism. Utopia is Greek for "nowhere," yet, as Oscar Wilde wrote, a map without it isn't even worth glancing at. We can always, never go there. The oldest written story is a forest quest for immortality. But what Gilgamesh finds instead is humanity, an understanding that the same ineluctable fate awaits us all: a return to the soil. Everything is born from the earth and dies in it; it is both womb and tomb." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "The angel also told them that it's a sin to be paid for work. "We haven't earned a penny in fifty-six years," said Philip. The group's members do, however, collect Social Security checks and they file every year with the IRS. As I finished my last forkful of banana, I wondered what would happen when these virgins and eunuchs passed on. They were so old. Elect David, who ate with quivering hands, seemed to be on his last legs. They didn't seem too concerned about their organization dying out. After all, the world itself was dying out." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"I severely damaged my lumbar spine trying to lift too much weight at the gym, and what a price I paid! For most of the year that followed, I lived at a level of pain that, on a scale of one to ten, was about nine and a half. Narcotic painkillers didn't even touch it, nor did anti-inflammatories or physical therapy. Every moment of every day was an excruciating exercise in survival. When you sink this low, you tend to cave to woeful skepticism about life. Hypnosis has the power to free you from this type of living hell." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Consequently, attention should be paid to gene-gene interactions. However, the large number of study subjects required and subsequent costs involved may make such studies infeasible. Two alternatives to examine these complex interactions in humans are possible: One consists of selecting study participants based on their genetic variants; the second needs to make better use of the large cohort studies for which dietary information has been or will be collected." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Forest paid for so many of these parties for doctors that Dr. Richard Brown, a psychiatrist in Manhattan, was invited to two of these dinners in the course of just two months, shortly after the government approved Lexapro in August 2002. One of those dinners was organized by IntraMed, the marketing firm that was also working then to promote Ritalin LA for Novartis. The IntraMed-organized dinner was held at Daniel, one of the most expensive restaurants in Manhattan. That night waiters served the doctors le boeufet lefote gras and poured glasses of 1998 Downing Family cabernet sauvignon." - 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.) "The kickbacks included the cash the company paid to thousands of physicians, as well as the amounts spent to entertain them at hundreds of vacation retreats and gourmet dinners held around the country. Around that same time, the federal government launched a criminal investigation into the company's promotion of the epilepsy drug. The government's inquiry eventually forced executives to turn over more than 160,000 pages of internal documents. Yet the public did not learn about the lawsuit or the investigation for years." - 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.)

"Even though the Catholic minority was keen to benefit from the healing potential of the shrine (by 1900, one hundred thousand bottles of Lourdes holy water were being shipped annually to this country), the American medical profession paid little attention to Lourdes. The few exceptions to this rule can be counted on the fingers of one hand." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"But what good did it do, though he croaked after her as loudly as he could? She paid not the slightest heed, but hurried home, and soon had completely forgotten the poor frog—who must have hopped back again into his spring." 1 1 Grimms' Fairy Tales, No. 1, "The Frog King." This is an example of one of the ways in which the adventure can begin. A blunder—apparently the merest chance—reveals an unsuspected world, and the individual is drawn into a relationship with forces that are not rightly understood. As Freud has shown,2 blunders are not the merest chance." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"In 1944, according to Hearings before the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce held on May 25-27, 1954, Alcoa hired a powerful attorney, Oscar Ewing, and paid him an annual salary of $750,000, even though Alcoa wasn't facing any major litigation. A few months after being hired, he left the company to accept a job as Federal Security Administrator, a position that put him in charge of the USPHS and under the direct control of—you guessed it—Treasury Secretary Mellon. It should also be noted that he made a great deal of fanfare about leaving such a well-paid job to serve his country." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"For over 12 years and with the full knowledge and support of their executive officers, the AMA paid the salaries and expenses for a team of more than a dozen medical doctors, lawyers, and support staff for the expressed purpose of conspiring [overtly and covertly] with others in medicine to first contain, and eventually, destroy the profession of chiropractic in the United States and elsewhere," writes journalist Kenny Ausubel in When Healing Becomes A Crime. As an organization, the AMA is just not very nice. As investigative reporter Mike Adams writes on the excellent website NewsTarget, " .." - 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.)

"To date, close to $1 billion has been paid out. • In addition to the "active" part of the vaccine, the vaccine includes substances such as ethylene glycol (antifreeze), formaldehyde (a known carcinogen), and aluminum. Look, I'm not saying vaccines should be eliminated—just that we should use a little more discrimination than we are at the moment. Eventually, it's possible that new techniques of genetic engineering, by being able to totally isolate the offending antigen, may be able to offer a safer form of vaccine. But until that day..." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Instead of having to pay for the disposal of a toxic waste product, they now get paid by cities by selling them this same toxic waste. It's probably no surprise then that the industries producing fluoride byproducts are some of the biggest proponents (and backers) of water fluoridation." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"I'll introduce him so you'll understand why I paid as much attention as I did to his recommendation, and why I'm going to pass it on to you with a ringing, unqualified endorsement. I consider Burt Berkson a medical hero. After reading this, you may agree with me. It's worth pointing out that his story is also a microcosm of everything that's wrong with the business of conventional medicine and why we need mavericks like Berkson more than ever before. Years ago, Berkson was doing his internship at a hospital in Cleveland when two people were brought in by ambulance in pretty dire condition." - 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.)

"Lax enforcement of existing tax laws also helped bring down the amount of taxes paid. Tax receipts from corporate profits as a fraction of national income continued to decline through 2003. Anticipation of possible future capital gains tax cuts can have a favorable impact on the stock market, even when tax rates actually remain unchanged. From 1994 to 1997, investors were widely advised to hold on to their long-term capital gains, not to realize them, until after the capital gains tax cut. This had a strengthening effect on the market." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "The strategy paid off when the collection and transport of food was better organized after 1900, for the government was able to move grain surpluses from unaffected areas into famine zones with considerable efficiency, a task that authorities called "working" a famine. Thanks to carefully orchestrated relief policies and a slowly expanding economy, famines became a bureaucratic euphemism: "food crises." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "Intelligent use of water supplies and irrigation technology paid handsome dividends and created ample food surpluses to support a growing population of nonfarmers: artisans, priests, and other officials. Village kin leaders adjudicated disputes and organized canal works. Centuries later their powerful descendants became the spiritual and political leaders of communities of much greater complexity." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)
