 "As I became comfortable with the toning other notes came in, and I felt in my body where these notes settled. With time an entire melody emerged and with the melody other sensations, images, and feelings became apparent. It was as if the plant responded to the sound by projecting a three-dimensional story of itself into my electromagnetic field."- Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
 "John's Wort, but for a long time the one believed to be responsible for the herb's antidepressant action was hypericum. But the plant actually contains dozens of active components (including chloro-genic acid, flavonoids, and xanthones). More recently, researchers have focused on hyperforin, another active ingredient in St. John's Wort. "Hyperforin, rather than hypericin as originally thought, has emerged as one of the major constituents for antidepressant activity," one 2001 article in the Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology pointed out."- 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.) |
 "If you're lucky, your primary care physician takes time off from his office schedule to make regular visits to the hospital and check up on you. (Some hospitals have begun to hire "hospitalists," primary care physicians who rotate in shifts to watch over the care of specific patients.) If you have a terminal condition or you're in pain, a palliative care specialist, like Meier, may be available. Palliative care specialists make a point of looking at the whole patient and the entirety of her care."- Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
 "Every time he spoke, he knew he generated similar frequencies through his voice. He remembered his early television experiments and wondered whether a field of energy pulsated inside him that shared a kinship with sound waves.1
Gary's childhood experiments may have been rudimentary, but he had already stumbled across the central mechanism of intention: something in the quality of our thoughts was a constant transmission, not unlike a television station."- Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "Clear away extraneous items and make it personal or appealing, wi th cushions or comfortable furniture, so that whenever you spend time there you will find it an enjoyable refuge, a place where you can sit quietly and meditate. Use candles, soft lights, and incense, if you prefer. Some people find it helpful to create an "altar" of sorts, as a focal point, with objects or photographs that you find inspirational or particularly meaningful. Even if you are not at home, you may find that you will naturally "enter" your intention space by visualizing it whenever you want to send an intention." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |
 "They noticed everything.
"As time went on, I started to incorporate nutritional testing and discovered that every single hyperactive child I saw had low levels of calcium and magnesium. I became interested in controlling behavior with diet after I noticed how my daughter responded to foods. If she ate sugary stuff she'd have trouble, but if she ate complex carbohydrates or protein, her level of activity was fairly even. I found that hyperactive children did well when eating five small good meals a day.
"I was hoping to discover a sugar causation and not a hurt to the nervous system."- Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "I also found these children to be fair most of the time. They were blue-eyed blondes and green-eyed redheads. We did see some African Americans but in general they were fair-headed and light-skinned. I concluded that some genetic factors were involved here. I also discovered that these hyperactive children generally were very ticklish, goosey, sensitive. When I shined a light in their ears to check their eardrums, the light would bother them as if they could hear a light and see sounds. It was incredible how sensitive they were." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Add the remaining ingredients one at a time, stirring after each addition, and cook until hot. Garnish with chopped mint." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "At that time my grandson's x-ray showed two frightening spots on his lungs. We spoke to Gary. He suggested the boy take specific supplements, and emulsified cod liver oil. A month and a half later a new x-ray revealed clear lungs, no spots. Today my grandson is seven years old. He is home schooled. His health continues to be good. This experience changed many of our concepts. People have tools for health and healing. There is much to learn. The information is there. Appropriate resources are available. I no longer serve the children in my day care center canned foods." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) |
 "At the same time we will be encouraging industries, societies, and governments to make changes that will also contribute to the massive cleanup.
As I've noted, toxins can be a variety of factors we come into contact with every day of our lives. They include heavy metals and a range of chemicals such as pesticides, pollutants, and food additives that have become almost unavoidable—an inevitable price to pay for the advancements we have made as a human race. With the yin of progress comes the yang of consequence."- Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "It also doesn't require a serious investment of money or time. The biggest investment you will make is in taking in this knowledge. Applying it to your lifestyle will be relatively effortless. The payoff, however, can be huge. Some of what you will learn may frighten you, but please don't let fear paralyze you from taking the steps starting today toward a healthier future. You will find many tried and true ideas on how to nourish and take care of yourself and your environment." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) |
| "After each series of breaths you take a step backwards into the body of an ancestor beginning with your parent, then grandparent, great-grandparent, great-great grandparent, and then a primal ancestor. Each time you feel what it is like to be in the body of that ancestor and you get a sense of that ancestor by looking at these questions: "What is it like to stand in this ancestor's body? Does it feel good, or is it uncomfortable? Whether this person is alive or has passed on, allow yourself to really feel what it is like to stand in his body by imitating his posture." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
| "By the time the young doctor went off rotation, a few days later, Black was still unconscious and hooked up to a ventilator. Grund forgot about his patient until several years later, when he learned that the man had never regained consciousness. After some weeks in the hospital, Black was sent to a "vent farm," a nursing facility for people on permanent life support.
The case of the man with the pinkie still haunts Grund, a thoughtful, intense physician who now heads the oncology department at the Hospital of Central Connecticut, in New Britain." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
 "At the time, Dr. Nemeroff was a paid speaker for ten drugmakers and a consultant to twenty-three pharmaceutical companies.
But marketing experts working for the industry know better. They say drug companies make far more money by using their promotional budgets to hire physicians to vouch for their products than by spending the same amount on either advertising or sales representatives.
"Your entire sales force making calls for an entire year may not be as effective as one trusted expert recommending your product at a conference," wrote George Silverman, a marketing consultant, in 2000."- 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.) |
 "These men want to see what's in your treasure box, where you keep your money," she repeated, this time reaching for the key around his neck and holding it up for him to see.
"You tell those Americans to go to hell," he shrieked, slapping the key out of her hand. Spittle shot from his mouth and splattered on the table before me. "I show them what's my box, all right. Right up their nose!"
Even though Maria and Giovanni once again laughed at their father's outburst, we took this as our cue to leave."- Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "I needed to spend time Brightly colored fruits and with someone younger who was vegetables and dark chocolate still working and living in the tradi- also conta,n ^em- Studies tional way. I suspected that clues to have shown tU 3 diet h|gh in the extraordinary longevity in this Conoids is associated with a Blue Zone were the kind I needed to reduced incidence of certain observe rather than hear described cancers and heart disease in an interview. I figured if I could participate in a day in the life of a true Barbagian Sardinian I could observe nuances." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "Good morning," he boomed, then plunged his hands in again, this time to reel out several yards of glistening intestines. It was 9:45 a.m. on a cool November morning. Tonino had been up since 4 and had already pastured his sheep, cut wood, trimmed olive trees, fed his cows, and eviscerated this 18-month-old cow that was now hanging spread-eagle from the rafters. Members of his family surrounded him. Tonino's son and three sons-in-law helped while his daughter cradled his five-month-old, wide-eyed grandson, Filippo, who regarded the scene with a cooing glee." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "I interviewed him for about two hours, during which time about a dozen neighbors stopped in to say hello. He greeted each of them with the same smile and tumbler of wine. Soon we had an audience. He had an inexplicable quality that made you want to be around him; he was interesting and interested and up for new experiences. At one point, after he told me how strong he used to be, I gamely challenged him to an arm wrestle. He accepted. His friends surrounded us. I figured I'd just let him win. After all, I was 60 years younger." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) |
| "While in session I called upon Striped Maple to help me track Becky's lives, looking for the one that was causing her pain this time around. As I followed the light path that Striped Maple laid for me I found that Becky had been hung in more than one life. She had been tried and hung as a witch for her abilities to see and heal illness in others. Now I understood her "calling" as a nurse, her heightened intuitive abilities, her fear of exposure, and the continued pain in her neck. I called on Mugwort to help me remove the solidified energy from her neck and shoulders." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
 "Regardless of the diagnosis, Osafo-Mensah knew what he had to do if he was going to save Jan's life, and he knew there wasn't much time. He decided to immediately place a filter in the vein at the top of Jan's leg, known as the inferior vena cava, which pumps blood up from the lower two-thirds of the body. The filter would stop any clots before they traveled up to Jan's heart or lungs. That, along with an intravenous infusion of the blood thinner heparin, would prevent more clots from rising toward her lungs.
It worked. Jan went home again. But a disquieting mystery still lingered in the air."- Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
| "I felt for the first time how I have been living almost fully from my right side. When I would talk I would turn to the right, my left eye hardly saw anything. I realized that all these years I have been operating entirely from my masculine side, thinking this is how to keep it all together and be in control. I can't believe I never saw it before. My posture is changing and my feminine self is waking up." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
| "Most of the nation's best academic medical minds have at some time been on the industry's payroll as consultants. As the drug companies' influence has grown inside our universities, research priorities have abruptly shifted to hurt the public's interest. Professors see more money in working on the next blockbuster heartburn medicine than in studying the environmental causes of cancer." - 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.) "When the study was complete, the Scirex scientists said they had found that Bextra worked just as fast as Percocet but was "superior" because it eased the patients' pain for a longer period of time. They concluded that Bextra was a "potent" reliever of moderate to severe pain resulting from oral surgery, just the conclusion Pharmacia needed for its marketing plan. The Scirex scientists published the results of their study in the May 2002 edition of The Journal of the American Dental Association." - 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.) |
| "When Black grew agitated a third time, a psychiatrist was paged. The psychiatrist directed the post-op team to continue administering Haldol and Ativan, as needed.
After several more doses, an alarm bell sounded. Black's heart had gone into a rare arrhythmia known as torsades and then arrested. After the team was able to get his heart started again, Grund was summoned to take the patient to the cardiac ICU. Grund asked how much Haldol and Ativan the man had received." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
 "Each type of gastritis may be acute, occurring as a sudden attack, or chronic, developing gradually over a longer period of time.
The symptoms of gastritis common across the various types include indigestion, stomach or abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and possibly appetite loss.
Recommendations for treating gastritis include stress reduction, dietary-changes, specific treatment for the underlying cause, and enzymes and nutritional support to soothe the stomach and gastrointestinal tract and to enhance digestion and absorption."- Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) |
 "They were, it must be acknowledged, a sorry lot by the time they arrived in my office—sorry in terms of both their physical health and their spirits.
Most demoralizing for those who had been the beneficiaries of the clinic's surgical interventions was the recognition that so much that had been done to save them—repeated open heart surgery, angioplasties aplenty, stents, and a host of medications—seemed no longer to have any useful effect. Almost all the men had lost their sexual potency. Most had chest pains, the terrifying condition known as angina."- Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) |
 "That trial should be underway at the time this book appears in print.
A second path we're pursuing has to do with my ideas concerning the drug selegeline. In chapter 7, I mentioned that the drug given orally in rather low doses showed a slight but positive therapeutic effect. I would expect that giving the drug in higher concentrations may work even better. The availability of a transdermal form of the drug allows this testing to be possible."- Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "IBS support groups are already up in arms. Only time will tell if patient demands will somehow balance the newly discovered risks, allowing the drug to become available again, even if only limitedly. Although the cause of IBS is not known, researchers do know that movement of food through the intestines is under the control of autonomic nerves to the gut, and serotonin is an important player in that control. I have discussed serotonin before as a substance related to depressed mood and to pain." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) |
 "But give soy some time; another recent analysis of 23 soy studies found that HDL improvements were observed only in studies of longer than 3 months.
6. Alcohol: Consuming moderate amounts of alcohol, especially with meals, may reduce heart disease risk by increasing HDL levels and helping to move cholesterol deposits out of cells lining the artery walls.
7. Aerobic exercise: At least 30 minutes a day several days a week is the exercise prescription for raising HDL.
8. Smoking cessation: Kicking the habit may increase your HDL numbers a bit, too.

"In another large study, this time with Swedish men, calcium was found to be potentially protective for colon cancer. The men in the top half of calcium consumption were 27 to 32 percent less likely to develop colorectal cancer than the men in the bottom half. CALCIUM, VITAMIN D, AND A LOW-FAT DIET TO EASE PMS DISTRESS Got PMS? Many of you will answer yes because, according to some estimates, about two-thirds of women report regular premenstrual discomfort, with about one-third seeking; help from a health care provider." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) |
