 "THREE GIANTS
We are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, purportedly said Bernard d'Chartres, the twelfth-century French philosopher. To the extent that he saw further and clearer, he said, it was not because of sharper vision, but rather that he was carried on the shoulders of giants. The phrase has become famous, used by Isaac Newton, and more recently by the eminent sociologist Robert Merton—from whom we learned it—to describe how science advances.
Three groups of giants (for, as sociologists, we always think of groups) have allowed us to imagine this book."- Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) |

Light's findings about hugs is that they mirror the build effect of positivity.

 "Her hair is stringy, slightly curly and down to her shoulders. I say, "You are not real." She says, "Yes, I am."
I say, "You are in my dream; therefore you are not real!" She says, "Yes, I am."
I say, "This is my dream—notice that I'm flying."
Then I'm flying and the woman is holding me on her lap while we both fly. I think, "This is great fun!" 4

I say, "No, I am."- Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) "She just shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalantly, "I don't know. Just felt like it." Later over lunch, I told her about my lucid dream of meeting her and showing her the peace sign and how shocking it felt to see her mimic my lucid dream behavior. Driving away that afternoon, I wondered, had I telepathically encouraged her to put the peace sign in my face? Or, did this response emerge as an impulse from her subconscious self's participation in the dream? Or maybe from her inner ego? In the dream, did I interact with a dream figure representation or the dreaming person?" - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) |
 "In more severe cases, patients become disabled by twitches, spasms and other abnormal movements of any muscle groups, including those of the neck, shoulders, back, arms and legs, and hands and feet. The muscles of respiration and speech can also

But, Surowiecki seems only dimly aware of what goes on in the human heart. Crowds are wise, he says. Two heads are better than one.

 "By the time he graduated from McGill University Faculty of Medicine in Montreal, in 1961, he had grown into a handsome man of middling height, with wavy dark hair covering his large head, broad shoulders, and a heavy jaw. He had also met his first wife, Emma Ottolenghi, who was also a medical student at McGill, and they had their first child, David, the year Wennberg graduated.
In 1962, the family moved to Baltimore, where Wennberg had won a prestigious residency at Johns Hopkins, long one of the premier academic medical centers in the country."- Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "She is a tiny woman, with fragile-looking wrists and slender shoulders. Slight as she is, though, Meier is a fierce advocate for patients in her hospital who are dying or in pain. She and the doctors and nurses who work in her department try to ease symptoms for patients, and to keep the therapeutic imperative at bay by encouraging family members to think about what's best for dying patients, rather than focusing on prolonging life." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "Other doctors will simply resist the idea that the hospital and Medicare can look over their shoulders. An increasingly vocal segment of the American public worries that electronic medical records are not secure enough to prevent employers from getting information that employees would rather keep private, like being diagnosed with a psychiatric condition. But if we can trust banks to protect our money, it seems reasonable to think we can devise a system to protect our medical information. There are going to be plenty of doctors who will object to such a plan on other grounds." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
 "The Final Stretches
The last stretch of the workout is intended for legs and shoulders?muscles that get tight when you sit for prolonged periods. Stretching your calves may help you reduce foot and heel pain when you're also improving your diet and vitamin D level. Stretching your thigh muscles helps to "unload" the knee for those of you who get pain behind the kneecap after a long period of sitting. The final stretch also just feels good.

1. Stand facing a wall, about 2 feet away from the wall.
2."- James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Now and then she also had pain and stiffness in her hips, knees, feet, and shoulders.

Her muscles, shins, and bones were tender. Overall, though, she was in good health. Her initial MHAQ score was 0.375-65-70-70-5 (function, pain, fatigue, health perception, sleep). Lab tests revealed normal thyroid and rheumatoid factors but a slightly elevated C-reactive protein (a measure of inflammation)." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) |
 "Similarly, I remember bouncing up and down on my father's shoulders as he walked down the winding staircase from our tiny second-floor apartment to the street below.

As I recounted these memories of my early childhood to my mother, she looked at me in disbelief. "You couldn't possibly remember those days," she said. "- Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) |
 "In 1985 Benson's team returned to India and were able to take video footage of monks who, in ambient temperatures of 39 degrees Fahrenheit, allowed sheets dipped in cold water to be draped over their shoulders and then tried to dry them; the film seems to show steam rising up from the sheets.78 Another, more formal study based in Normandy, France, was inconclusive, as was an effort in which three monks traveled from India to Benson's laboratory in Boston."- Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "Most modern workaday physicists shrug their shoulders over this central conundrum: that big things are separate, but the tiny building blocks they're made up of are in instant and ceaseless communication with each other. For half a century, physicists have accepted, as though it makes perfect sense, that an electron behaving one way subatomically somehow transmutes into "classical" (that is, Newtonian) behavior once it realizes it is part of a larger whole."- Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |
 "Sailing in the northeast trades of the Pacific: a steady fifteen-knot wind blowing over my right shoulder, the warmth caressing my bare shoulders, the gentle rolling as our boat cascaded across the deep blue ocean. I braced myself against the constant motion, gazed out for hours at an empty horizon and a sky of marching, puffy clouds. More than two thousand kilometers from land: day after day the same unchanging routine, no need to adjust a sail or disconnect the self-steering gear. Each day I checked the rigging for chafe as the sun set."- Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) |

Her bones and muscles were very sensitive to touch, and her shins were extremely tender to pressure. She had the bony enlargement of finger joints that's common with osteoarthritis. Her general health was normal.
Sarah posted MHAQ scores of 0.125-55-85-50-8 (function, pain, fatigue, health perception, sleep); she felt stiff in the mornings for just a few minutes." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) |
| "Some particular things tend to just "roll" off my shoulders now, as opposed to letting them bother me throughout the day. I am able to find peace within myself and I am able to share more positive thoughts with those around me. Thanks for bringing this study in to my workplace. I am really glad that I had the opportunity to do this. I feel that I have gained much knowledge out of this session with your team. I will not stop meditating. It is a wonderful feeling of relaxing, peacefulness in my soul.
Nina recognized and appreciated many of the same changes that our surveys had picked up." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.) |
 "Fashionable ancient Roman women and men applied faux "beauty marks" on their faces, necks, shoulders, and arms. Beauty marks were also very popular in the 17th and 18th centuries and were often fashioned out of fancy fabrics such as taffeta and Spanish leather. The placement of the patches was often used to indicate one's political leaning.
For example, if you spot very dark or black freckle-like spots that don't fade, it can be a telltale sign of
Addison's disease (see Dark Patches, above, and Appendix I)."- Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) |

 "There was so much pain in her legs she could not stand at the operating table, and her arms and shoulders were so sore she could not hold the instruments needed to perform her duties as a surgeon. Kris had tried all the traditional medical interventions for fibromyalgia, but with only very limited success.
In mid-2003 Kris learned that a clinical study involving ribose in congestive heart failure was underway at the university. So, understanding the biochemistry associated with her affliction, she sought out the pharmacist and cardiologist leading the study."- Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) |
 "Major responsibility falls on the shoulders of our national and international regulatory bodies: They have the task of setting the standards required for drug approval and monitoring the behavior of the pharmaceutical industry. Regulators must limit the priority given to minimally effective drugs such as cholinesterase inhibitors, and priority should be given to new chemical entities. The pharmaceutical industry can play a vital role in the future of brain aging, but it must accept its mantle of responsibility and work as an agent of world benefit."- Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) |
 "For example, recently I was chatting on the phone with a Canadian attorney about a tardive dyskinesia malpractice case that I am currently working on concerning a woman who at the age of thirty developed drug-induced mouth movements (puckering); facial grimacing; turning movements of her head and twisting movements of her neck; severe arching of the back; jerking, twisting, flailing, and other abnormal movements of her arms and shoulders; tremors of her arms and hands; and increased tone of her limbs."- Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) |
