"University of Washington in Seattle conducted a phone interview study of 204 women one year after they had received a prescription for HRT. They found that 40% of these women were no longer taking HRT as originally prescribed. Reasons commonly given by the women included vaginal bleeding, anxiety, and nervousness. And this was before the large studies of the past few years showed the major health risks and lack of health benefits of HRT. What about women with surgically induced menopause?" - J.

"Adam Drewnowski, an obesity researcher at the university of washington, wanted to figure out why it is that the most reliable predictor of obesity in America is a person's low economic status. Drewnowski gave himself a hypothetical dollar to spend, using it to purchase as many calories as he could. He discovered that he could buy the most calories per dollar in the middle aisles of the supermarket, among the towering canyons of processed food and soft drinks." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "A study at the university of washington showed that drinking five glasses of water a day decreases the risk of colon cancer by 35 percent, the risk of breast cancer by 79 percent, and the risk of bladder cancer by 50 percent. This is a significant statement about the importance of water. Dehydration is something that may happen with age, so one of the main anti-aging treatments is drinking adequate water—about a half gallon (64 ounces) per day for a 150-pound person." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"University of Washington Medical Center and a great practitioner of integrative, holistic medicine, has written eloquently on the importance of iodine in the diet for a number of different conditions. "There is growing evidence that Americans would have better health and a lower incidence of cancer and fibrocystic disease of the breast if they consumed more iodine," he says. Miller points out that Japanese consumption of iodine through seaweed is many, many times that of the United States, and that the health comparisons between the two countries are disturbing." - 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.)

"Christopher Varley, from the university of washington, told Dr. Lobas he understood his concern. There were almost no studies that looked at what happened when children took more than one pill, Dr. Varley explained, and there was not a single study that followed kids who took four or more drugs at a time. In essence, treating children with more than one drug was an experimental venture. The clinics that Dr. Lobas directs in Iowa see more than five thousand children each year. Twenty years ago, he said, most kids going to the doctor had physical problems." - 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.)

"Just by eating the equivalent of a fatty fish meal once a week, according to research at the university of washington, you ingest enough good fatty acids to reduce your risk by half of developing an initial heart attack compared to individuals who have no dietary intake of EPA and DHA. The right kind of fish (see our recommendations and caveats at the end of the chapter) are rich in EPA and DHA. Lean organic or free-range chicken breasts are okay as well. If your meats are marbled with fat, you get a whopping dose of saturated fat." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"University of Washington and a specialist in the area of bone physiology and osteoporosis, wrote a letter to the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism in which she said, "There is no doubt that alendronate increases bone strength and decreases fracture rate during the first four years of use, but after that the profound suppression of the bone formation rate may begin to have a negative effect." In other words, after five years they seem to stop working. How could this be? Again, bisphosphonates act by inhibiting osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone." - J.

The pairs were split up and placed in rooms 10 meters away from each other, with an EEG amplifier wired up to the occipital (visual) lobe of the brain of each participant. The moment each sender was exposed to a flickering light, he or she attempted to transmit an image or thought about the light to the partner." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Bruce Psaty and colleagues from the university of washington in Seattle looked at all the data from the trials that had been published up to 2003.

"Cancer Letters 98: 83-87, 1995] Cancer researchers at the university of washington report that artemisin, by itself, "is about 100 times more selective in killing cancer cells as opposed to healthy cells." One artemisinin compound tested was 34,000 times more potent in killing cancer cells than normal cells. [University of Washington Bulletin, Feb. 20, 2005] Doctors in Erlangen, Germany, report on the first use of artemisinin for human cancer cases.

"Adam Drewnowski, director of the Center for Public Health Nutrition at the university of washington, is one of many researchers who have been tackling the challenge of developing a system for consumers that clearly shows which foods are the healthiest. He developed a method based on a nutrients-per-calorie basis, meaning those foods that contain the most nutrition for the fewest calories. Dr. Drewnowski reviewed over 360 different foods and assigned a naturally nutrient-rich (NNR) score to each one based on the content of fourteen key nutrients." - David W.

"Chan Gunn, a clinical professor at the university of washington Pain Center, follows similar principles as traditional acupuncture, but it goes a step beyond. IMS uses acupuncture needles to target injured muscles which have shortened (tightened) due to distress. The stimulation of the needle causes deep muscle tissues to grasp the needle, in effect forcing the tightened muscles to release. The releasing of these formerly shortened muscles leads to pain relief. IMS is particularly effective on pain without an apparent physical cause." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Backing this up is recent work from the university of washington indicating that rates of suicide in CFS patients were no different from those of the population in general. Other experiments suggest yet another difference between depression and CFS. These studies explored the role of serotonin, a brain substance that's involved in mood, pain, and fatigue. In depression, serotonin activity goes down. (Although the experimenter cannot possibly measure brain serotonin in a living person, it is easy to assay a hormone, prolactin, that is a measure of serotonin levels." - Benjamin H.

"In fact, in one new study at Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center and the university of washington, researchers found that allergic reactions may contribute to the triggering of autoimmune diseases, though they are not yet sure of the mechanism by which this occurs. Studies confirm that for some patients with rheumatoid arthritis, food sensitivities worsen their symptoms, and avoidance of these foods helps their symptoms to abate." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Marsha Linehan, a psychologist at the university of washington, has been the most explicit articulator of the connections between CBT and Eastern approaches. Linehan was formally trained in cognitive-behavioral techniques, which she applied to the condition of borderline personality disorder. Borderline personality disorder is perhaps the most notorious of psychiatric diagnoses." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"A new study from the university of washington in Seattle tested hunger, fullness, and calories eaten at the next meal after 16 men and 16 women, ages 18 to 35, consumed a 200-calorie snack either of semisolid, spoonable yogurt with peach pieces, the same yogurt in a drinkable form, a peach-flavored dairy beverage, or peach juice. Although the yogurt did not lead to fewer calories eaten in the next meal, both forms resulted in lower hunger and higher fullness ratings than the fruit drinks. ENJOY YOGURT AT ITS BEST Yogurt can replace many higher-fat ingredients in all sorts of recipes." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Richard Deyo and his colleagues at the university of washington found that rheumatologists, for instance, tended to give back pain patients blood tests, to look for rare immunological disorders to explain their condition. Neurologists performed tests of how well nerves conducted impulses along the spine. Surgeons ordered MRIs and CT scans, which show the anatomy of the bones and soft tissue in the back. CT scans and MRIs are often used to make the case for surgery, especially when they show damage to a disk." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Scott Davis, chairman of the department of epidemiology at the university of washington, stated that "while the link between light at night and cancer may seem like a stretch on the surface, there is an underlying biological basis for it." Both Davis and Reiter have been studying how night lighting affects the production of female hormones, which, in turn, can affect the risk of breast cancer. "We have found a relationship between light at night and night-shift work to breast cancer risk," Davis said. " - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"A lecturer at the university of washington School of Medicine, Stuart is a round-faced man in his fifties, balding, with wire-rim glasses and a laid-back, Puckish manner. Five years ago, he quit his practice to form the Delfini Group, which consists of Stuart and Sheri Ann Strite, a former research coordinator at Group Health with extensive experience designing clinical research protocols. Together, the two travel the country, teaching doctors to think more analytically about medical science.

"The son of a professor at Harvard Business School, Fisher grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and got both his undergraduate and medical degrees at Harvard before heading west to the University of Washington's school of public health. It was there that Fisher began studying Wennberg's early research and resolved to work with him. On a winter day in his office at Dartmouth, Fisher tells me he came there "motivated in part by a sense that if we could get our hands around the unnecessary, wasteful stuff in medicine, we might be able to help the poor and the uninsured." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "Two researchers at the university of washington, in Seattle, had already begun a trial using Bezwoda's special high-dose regimen for women with metastatic breast cancer. They copied his published formula faithfully, administering it to four breast cancer patients, all under the age of fifty. Two died of congestive heart failure brought on by the chemo a few months after their treatment. One woman lived with acute cardiac damage until she succumbed to her breast cancer. A fourth patient was still alive a year later, though she suffered from serious heart trouble brought on by the treatment." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Researchers at the Cardiovascular Health Research Unit at the university of washington demonstrated that cardiovascular protection occurs only by eating fish that was baked or broiled and not fried.594 Most people, at least in the South, eat their fish fried. Farm raised fish contain very little N-3 oils and offer little other than significant amounts of dioxin, mercury, pesticides, and fungicides. The vast majority of salmon, even if labeled wild, has have been shown to be farm raised and therefore low in these healthy oils." - Russell L.

"Considerations Q A study done at the university of washington Medical School rated stressful situations according to their negative effects on physical and mental health. Rated highest was the death of a spouse. Divorce is next, followed by such circumstances as getting married, personal illness, and so on. The study found that the more stressful situations a person is experiencing, the greater the chance of illness. Q Stress in young people should never be underestimated." - Phyllis A.

"In one study at the university of washington School of Medicine, it missed no cancers and ruled out half of the "red flags" as benign, thus avoiding a biopsy in each case. Q There has been a great rise in the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in recent years. This consists of a combination of synthetic estrogen and progestin and was designed to help combat the symptoms of menopause (bone loss, night sweats, hot flashes, and so forth). A study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association uncovered some serious problems with the use of this type of therapy." - Phyllis A.

"One projection (by research at the university of washington) shows it declining by more than half by 2040. On the coast, sea levels could rise by as much as a yard by the end of the century—an estimate that does not take the accelerated melt of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets into account. The economists noted some big changes: Dwindling midsummer streamflows east of the Cascades would disadvantage farmers, communities, and native fish. Ski-area operators might find themselves forced to choose between spending on snowmaking equipment and on chairlifts." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)
