"The Prostates of seattle vs. the Prostates of Connecticut The 1990s witnessed the flowering of the psa-screening agenda. However, its implementation was not uniform across the United States. The Medicare beneficiaries aged sixty-five to seventy-nine residing in the seattle area between 1987 and 1997 were five times more likely to be screened, and twice as likely to be biopsied, than the Medicare cohort residing in Connecticut. It follows that the seattle cohort was more likely to be "helped" by early treatment of their cancers." - Nortin M.

"It follows that the seattle cohort was more likely to be "helped" by early treatment of their cancers. Nearly 3 percent of the seattle cohort underwent radical prostatectomy, and another 4 percent had radiation therapy. The respective numbers in Connecticut were 0.5 percent and 3 percent. However, there was no difference between the two groups in the likelihood of dying from prostate cancer! In fact, there was no difference in prostate-specific cancer mortality if you were biopsied at age sixty-five to sixty-nine, seventy to seventy-four, or seventy-five to seventy-nine." - Nortin M.

"A sign at the border of seattle read, 'Will the last one to leave seattle please turn off the lights?' Schmidt made his third and final career move. He would continue on with his consciousness research, a physicist among parapsychologists. He relocated to Durham, North Carolina, and sought work at Rhine's laboratory, the Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man, carrying on his RNG research with Rhine himself. A few years later, word of Schmidt's machines filtered through to Princeton University and came to the attention of a young university student in the school of engineering." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"We didn't plan far enough ahead, as there was not enough time to organize a seattle roasters meeting, even though we had gotten a lot of interest in response to my e-mails. Starbucks would have to do. The Starbucks corporate office (the Mothership) is in an old industrial building near the seattle waterfront. The decor is sort of industrial chic, with exposed pipes and columns painted white and pastels.

"A six-year study published in 2006 tracked 1,700 older persons in seattle and assessed how their exercise habits correlated with dementia risk. Those who walked at least three times a week proved to be 30 percent less likely to develop dementia over the six-year period than less active individuals.29 Perhaps the best exercise is that which combines physical exertion with cognitive and social stimulation. For instance, such activities as dancing, tai chi, and yoga present complex challenges to all participants." - Peter J.

Those who reported drinking fruit or vegetable juices at least three times per week were 73 percent less likely to have developed Alzheimer's as those who drank juice less than once a week." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Several seattle public schools found that the lead concentration in their water fountains exceeded the 20 parts per billion recommended by the EPA. • Many items containing mercury are found in schools.

"In fact, doctors at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) in seattle estimated that PSA screening may result in an over-diagnosis rate of more than 40 percent. To make matters worse, a disturbing new study finds that fully 15% of older men whose PSA readings were considered perfectly normal had prostate cancer—some with relatively advanced tumors. There is a much more reliable test than the PSA.

"Seattle fast food chain. 50 persons developed internal bleeding and 4 small children died. Some of the reason for this problem may lie in over prescription of antibiotics by physicians.

"Somehow, the study was conducted in ten "centers," with twenty-two patients in Korea and fourteen in seattle. How ten centers in two countries recruited thirty-six patients is beyond me. If true, this means that ten different doctors ran the trial, and each center had an average of only four patients—very unusual indeed. Usually treatment trials seek to recruit substantially more patients from each site. And it got still more complicated. Some of the patients, it turns out, were put on a high dose and some on a lower dose of Fibronol. By now, you should be as confused as I was." - Benjamin H.
