"It works particularly well because it is part of the membranes, those thin ribbons of material that are wound back and forth within the body of the cell. These enclose the cell and work inside it as surfaces on which the enzymes function to carry out metabolism, which is energy conversion. So PS is involved in the synthesis, the transport, the recycling and the functional action of all the chemical transmitters of the brain. All of these rely on the membranes working right, and nerve cell membranes rely heavily on PS to work right." The aging brain loses its ability to make PS.

"Leafy greens can be left whole or torn into large ribbons. Vegetables should be cut uniformly so that they cook evenly. Steamed Vegetables Most vegetables can be steamed except starchy ones like potatoes. Pour about 2 cups of water into a large pot, then put the vegetables into a steamer basket in the pot. (Make sure water does not come through the steamer basket.) Bring to a boil. Steam vegetables until a fork can just slide into them. Season with salt and pepper and lemon juice. A great seasoning to try is gomasio (sesame seeds and sea salt) or sea salt with sea vegetables." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

One patient was being treated for Raynauds Syndrome or scleroderma and she developed a sore on her finger. The doctors were going to cut it off because of lack of circulation.

Nearly 24 million Americans are suffering from an autoimmune illness, yet nine out of ten Americans cannot name a single one of these diseases. It boggles the mind. Each of these nearly one hundred autoimmune diseases derails lives." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Organized into paramilitary groups with khaki uniforms, ribbons of rank and ornamental swords, the WFA roared into existence in 1936, giving women a safe and constructive way to express militaristic impulses many perhaps did not know they had. Practically overnight, ASCC moved from trying to persuade medical societies to take an interest in cancer to commanding battalions against the disease in some thirty states.6They targeted not only cervical cancer but breast and throat cancer. In a radio broadcast on February 10, 1936, Rep." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"Angry and determined to start a grassroots movement, Charlotte sat down at her dining room table and crafted thousands of peach ribbons by hand. She bundled them into sets of five, each with a card that read: "The National Cancer Institute annual budget is $1.8 billion; only 5 percent goes for cancer prevention.

"In mid-2005, however, researchers at the University of Texas, Dallas, and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Australia came up with a way to make strong, stable macroscale sheets and ribbons of multiwall nanotubes at a rate of 7 meters (23 feet) per minute. The team described potential applications of the process as including transparent antennae, high-quality electronic sensors, supercapacitors and batteries, light sources and displays, solar cells, artificial muscles, tissue-growth scaffolding, and much more." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"At mandated times during the year teachers, administrators, and students sport red ribbons on their shirts that are supposed to symbolize a unified front against drug use.

"Provide a box of old clothes, shoes, hats, beads, ribbons, fabrics, etc for dressing-up games. Add to this with cheap exotic purchases from secondhand shops. Buy a cat-litter tray and encourage your child to make 'small worlds' (farms, islands, alien planets, dinosaur world, etc) inspired by your reading or talk. Or help make a doll's house from boxes stuck together, creating the furniture from matchboxes. Children love cooking or making mixtures and potions in bottles and jars from household items.

However much play matters while you're doing it, everyone knows it's just a game, not life and death." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)

"Protein Chaperones and Protein Folding Newly minted proteins including the all-important enzymes are long, flat ribbons with no particular shape for interacting with target molecules.

Other chaperones guide the folded proteins to the correct location in the cell." - Vincent Giampapa, Ronald Pero, and Marcia Zimmerman, The Anti-Aging Solution: 5 Simple Steps to Looking and Feeling Young (Get the book.)

"Add 3 drops to a cereal bowl of water and soak some ribbons in this before attaching them to the branches of trees. You need to pay particular attention to clearing the area under trees and over water as flying insects, including gnats and midges, love lurking around there.

"They wrap a dried fruit of Martynia louisiana Mill, with colored woolen ribbons and tie it to a leather headband. Early anthropologists interpreted this headpiece as a symbol of the squash flower.

"Now place the toothpicks between the ribbons as if they were the steps of a spiral staircase, about four to every complete turn of the two ribbons. There you have it.

All this, which makes up the DNA molecule, can be found in butterfly wings and human earlobes. What's more—this is the underpinning of the diet which will be explained later—the DNA components found in one form of life can do their work on the cells of another!" - Benjamin S. Frank, Dr. Frank's No-Aging Diet (Get the book.)

"All over the nation yellow ribbons were displayed as a symbol of support for the forces in Iraq. In fact, the public was being deceived about how "smart" the bombs being dropped on Iraqi towns were. After talking with former intelligence and Air Force officers, a correspondent for the Boston Globe reported that perhaps 40 percent of the laser-guided bombs dropped in Operation Desert Storm missed their targets. John Lehman, Secretary of the Navy under President Reagan, estimated there had been thousands of civilian casualties. The Pentagon officially had no figure on this." - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.)

"He engaged an MIT graduate who developed machinery to sharpen steel ribbons into blades.

"Cut them to ribbons. When cooking thick greens like kale or Swiss chard, it's helpful to cut them into ribbons or small pieces. This will help them cook quickly and become tender. Boil them quickly.

Start with a cup of boiling water, drop in the greens, cover, and cook for about 4 minutes, or until tender." - Prevention Magazine, Prevention's New Foods for Healing: Capture the Powerful Cures of More Than 100 Common Foods (Get the book.)

"Beautifully bedecked with ribbons and feathers, the pole has been carved with religious symbols and words of peace from many different cultures. More people come, carrying rocks to stack around the base of the pole and secure it upright. The parade enters, celebrants circle around the edges of the meadow until the space is filled with thousands. The drumming reaches a crescendo. The crowd roars. Then, all become silent and everyone sits down. The elder woman remains standing, looking at the top of the pole, holding her pipe aloft." - APC Books, Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves: The Power of change Within to Change the World (Get the book.) "Dancers parade with colorful banners, flags, costumes, and streaming ribbons. Brightly colored kites and balloons fill the air with festive anticipation. Baton twirlers, clowns, stilt-walkers, and giant puppets gesture for all to join in the joyful throng. With painted faces and fancy costumes, a procession of dancing children cheer with delight as they enter the parade. Smiling, happy people are everywhere. Neriah Lothamer, who since 1967 has produced, promoted, and recorded alternative culture events, is a cultural archivist and visionary activist." - APC Books, Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves: The Power of change Within to Change the World (Get the book.)
