 "But I am not talking about athlete-level megadoses of hormones here. I am talking about learning what is right for you to maintain balance and feel great. This book is about learning what too little hormone feels like, and understanding why our levels are low and how we can restore hormones safely to normal levels.
When to Start Thinking about Supporting Your Hormones
You should start to think about supporting your hormones when you start noticing that you just aren't feeling as good as you used to."- Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) |
 "One day I asked her who she was talking to and she said, "Plants are just like people; they need friends too, and when you talk to your flowers they grow better." This was the secret to her green thumb; she talked to her plants. I loved my Granny very much, and she made talking to plants seem natural so, of course, I accepted this reality wholeheartedly. This is the story I carried about plants, beginning at a very early age. I thought everyone talked to plants."- Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |

 "Maybe that's because talking about costs means talking about overtreatment, and bringing up overtreatment means facing the fact that reducing unnecessary, wasteful care would lead inevitably to a smaller health care industry. The seven hundred billion dollars we currently spend on unnecessary care doesn't just go down the drain—it goes toward paying for drugs and medical devices, which are manufactured by American workers. It helps pay the salaries of doctors, hospital administrators, nurses, orderlies, and pharmacists."- Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
 "I was talking to Dr. Valenstein about why all psychiatric drugs address only a very small proportion of the neurotransmitters that are thought to exist. Virtually all psychiatric drugs deal with only 4 neurotransmitters: dopamine and serotonin, most commonly, and also norepinephrine, and GAB A (gamma-aminobutyric acid). While no one knows exactly how many neurotransmitters there are in the human brain—indeed, even how a neurotransmitter is defined exactly can be a matter of debate—there are at least 100, perhaps 125.
So I asked Dr."- Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) |
 "Women who are reading this know exactly what I'm talking about, and for that matter I am sure the men reading this know, too. The endocrine system regulates development, growth, reproduction, and behavior through an intricate system of hormones. Hormones are your body's messengers that get produced in one part of the body, such as the thyroid, adrenal or pituitary gland, pass into the bloodstream, and go to distant organs and tissues, where they act to modify structures and functions."- Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) |
 "They may seek out or partake in prayer, group meetings, talking to friends, attending church, spiritual counsel or through retreats. Some big decisions may need to be made in order to make the changes required. Consciously establish your intent to choose to heal while cleansing. If you are unwell now, you can meditate on an image of a vibrant and vital you.

Water has many beneficial properties. Alternating hot and cold showers stimulates the circulation and lymph flow. Steam rooms and hot/dry saunas help the skin to eliminate toxins through perspiration."- Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) |
 "The answer is: a talking body. A body that can do what Gil thinks her body has done to her is one that can converse with its owner, conveying messages to her about things going on in her life that she is having difficulty consciously confronting. This strange body stands at the center of a narrative about the dangers of repression and the healing power of confession that I call "the body that speaks." It is a narrative that is historically indebted, more than anything else, to the work of Sigmund Freud."- Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) "The emergence of this way of talking about cancer in holistic health circles might seem a surprising one. In the 1970s, the prominent cultural critic Susan Sontag developed cancer herself and was horrified to discover that the old psychoanalytic belief in cancer as a disease of emotionally repressed people was still in wide public circulation. This was just ignorant talk, she snapped. People also used to believe there was a relationship between certain personality types and tuberculosis, until modern medicine discovered the bacterium actually responsible for the disease." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "Low's system was developed to help patients with conditions such as depression and anxiety learn new ways to reduce their symptoms by talking with people whose symptoms are similar. Currently, more than seven hundred self-help groups using the Low method exist across the country. The Web address is www.recovery-inc.org. The wonderful thing about Recovery Inc. is that it is essentially free, and made up of ordinary people who want to help themselves and others."- Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) |
 "Scientists today are talking of optical computers working at the speed of light, quantum computers storing information in individual atoms and millions of times smaller than today's, and "wet" computers using DNA or other biological components that may offer true artificial intelligence. Whatever the technology, the computers of the future will have left current computers far behind.
Since the birth of the microprocessor in 1971, microprocessor performance has increased 25,000 times."- Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) |
| "To shed more light on how we carried out all this research, it's worth talking about how MRI scans work. You've probably heard of these tests, which enable doctors to see the anatomy of everything under the skin, but few people are really aware of how they work. The most common application of MRI is to look for anatomical abnormalities. The scans work by imaging the amount of water in different bodily tissues, with bone having the least and spinal fluid or blood having the most." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) |
| "The dominant image of the era is the American driving alone to work in his massive and luxuriously equipped climate-controlled SUV unaware even of the road beneath him, talking on his cell phone or listening to one of a hundred satellite radio channels." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) "When I was talking to a colleague in a New Haven coffee shop about the rise of "shopaholism," a fellow diner, overhearing us, asked to speak to me. She confided that she suffered from the disorder and asked me for help. To which I say: nonsense. Anger, greed, laziness, impulsivity, as well as jealousy, lust, anguish, and so on are simply part of the human predicament. They are not medical conditions. To treat them as medical conditions is a perversion of medicine. This is by no means to minimize the pain and suffering of nonclinical problems." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) "It is an advanced physiological state of despair that one can see in the patient's eyes, in their slow movements, in the sense that they are in physical pain, in the fact that they often have not slept or eaten for days, in their lack of humor, in the proximity of death and dying in their conversation (that is, if the patient is talking) and surrounding their very presence, in the obvious fact that they do not presently want to be awake, or alive. There is no covering up; they exude naked and pure pain, like a wounded animal. There is absolutely no pretending that everything is okay." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) |
 "The more light stimuli you can give your body during the day, the stronger your sleep-wake rhythm will be. I am talking about sunlight in particular. Indoor light is not going to make any difference. You need to expose yourself to bright sunlight?just your eyes. There are artificial sun boxes that are commercially available. But if you have insomnia, get outside as much as you can, during your lunch hour, during your breaks. Don't wear sunglasses, unless you've got an eye condition that requires it."
Exercising in the late afternoon or early evening may help some people with insomnia. "- Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "You would say, 'What are you talking about? I'm purchasing the can. The fact that you are selling it implies that you are saying that it's safe.' But the clerk says, 'Not when it comes to soup. When it comes to soup, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to prove that it is safe or not safe. We as the sellers don't have to do anything.' That's the situation we're in with mercury fillings. No one has ever proved that mercury fillings are safe in human beings. They should prove it. But instead, the dental industry has turned it around and said, 'No, you have to prove it is unsafe." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) |
 "We're talking about everything from electricity to magnetism, from light to sound. The only difference between all of these forms of energy is how fast the waves rise and fall (the frequency) and how intense those rises and falls are (their amplitude).

Several years ago, I discovered and developed the Barron Effect, which incorporates the principle of energy enhancement to modify the physical structure of herbs during the tincture manufactuting process. The net result is herbal tinctures that are over 100% stronger than anything the world has previously seen."- 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 be talking largely about carcinogens rather than other toxins, especially when it comes to particular ingredients. This is because cancer data is the hardest (which is to say, the most convincing) of all health data collected over the past thirty years. Other categories we have good health data on are allergens and hormone-disruptive chemicals. This information is based on two kinds of evidence: evidence from laboratory studies on animals, and evidence from epidemiological studies (studies on humans)."- 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.) |
| "Even in low doses, mercury may affect a child's overall development, delaying walking and talking, shortening attention span, and causing learning disabilities.
Lead exposure presents a unique situation. Because lead is similar to calcium in structure, it takes the place of calcium during the development of the nervous system in a growing fetus. The results can be devastating, causing serious disorders that are echoed in later behavioral and learning problems." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) |
| "By chance, the psychiatrist happened to be talking to her patient's mother one day and she described an uncle who had some of the same characteristics. This uncle had been diagnosed as schizophrenic too. The psychiatrist concluded that the gene that caused the physical abnormalities in those two people may be the gene that caused the schizophrenia or that the gene that causes physical abnormalities may be close to the gene for schizophrenia. If you can find a gene for the abnormalities, maybe you can find a gene for schizophrenia. They were never able to find it." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) |
 "According to his calculations, once they began interacting with the Zero Point Field, the probes would begin talking to each other and ultimately become entangled.22
If all matter in the universe was interacting with the Zero Point Field, it meant, quite simply, that all matter was interconnected and potentially entangled throughout the cosmos through quantum waves.23 And if we and all of empty space are a mass of entanglement, we must be establishing invisible connections with things at a distance from ourselves."- Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |
| "To tap into those resources, ECaP counselors were trained to use a mix of dream analysis, art therapy, and a kind of high-stakes talking therapy called "carefrontation" in which counselors would ask (rather as Weizsacker in Germany had done in the 1920s): "What benefit are you getting from your cancer? What would you require to give it up?" - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "Alzheimer's disease need not enter your household if you don't wish it to, and adding a qualifier ("My dad has what people used to call AD," "My mom has probable Alzheimer's," "I have so-called Alzheimer's") can distance the person you're talking about from the sterilizing generality of the disease framework.
Alzheimer's is a slow death -> Aging persons can still be vital contributors
Aging is a project, a work of existential art, a story that one continues to write until one can write it no more—it does not end when one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's by a doctor. The stigma of AD is powerful."- 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.) "The doctor spends the next ten minutes talking to her about making dietary changes, eating more fruits and vegetables, as well as foods high in antioxidants, B vitamins, and fish, which is high in omega-3 fatty acids that also seem to have cardio-protective benefits in addition to cognitive ones. He explains the importance of diet in keeping cholesterol and blood pressure low and reducing the risk for diabetes. "But what's even more important than what you eat is with whom you eat," he says." - 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.) "In addition to assisting you to gather information, perform background research, and connect to community resources, they can be sounding boards before your visit, helping you practice what you wish to say to the doctor and talking about how you might respond to what you are told. Narrative in the clinic It is helpful if you write down some notes about your symptoms or those of a loved one and highlight the worst that has happened during the course of your or their decline." - 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.) "Instead of using "mythical" language and talking about a "mind-wasting" disease that "steals the selfhood" of our loved ones, and fighting a valiant "war against Alzheimer's" in search of a biological fix, we can use words like personhood, integrity, and dignity to refer to those who are aging, and words like balance, quality of life, responsibility for future generations, community, prevention, and conservation to reframe our individual and cultural priorities." - 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.) |
 "In the Basic Level Program, are you talking about rotations with open eyes (stretching variant for rotations fixing at a point) fixing at a point at over 10 feet of distance, or about those that are described as a "stretching variant for cyclorotations," as if we wanted to follow the borders of a very big clock? If the latter is the right one, how could I fix at a point if I'm carrying out rotations with my eyes? d. As for stretching in the static position, but not the circular one: For how long am I supposed to keep a certain position?"- David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.) "Keep in mind: We are talking here about therapeutic defocus. That would be myopic defocus for myopia and hyperopic defocus for hyperopia. It is not a destructive or palliative defocus—which occurs when a myopic person views near with negative lenses and a hyperopic one with positive lenses. In such cases, an inauspicious accommodative stimulus—led by convergence—will find a further stimulus for increasing accommodative response." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.) |
 "We end the conversation with him talking excitedly about cloudberry hunting. He sends me pages of notes on the fruit, a raspberry-like orange arctic fruit with a strong musky flavor that grows in places like North Pole, Alaska. According to his notes, cloudberries are often found in bogs full of insects that tear off chunks of skin with their "horrid mandibles."
Unfortunately, my editor squelches the Alaskan cloudberry dream. Instead, we decide to focus the story on fruit tourism, something I'm not even sure exists."- Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
