"Vienna, London, or washington.'12 The rather obvious fact that few Indian pilgrims had Vienna, London, or washington in their travel plans—and that pilgrims were therefore unlikely to be direct vectors for cholera in Europe—was politely ignored by all: pilgrimage was much disliked and distrusted by British authorities in India; the religions of India in general, and particularly Hinduism, were widely regarded as degraded and distasteful." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"A disgust of medicine' was hardly surprising when that medicine might entail (as, famously, in the case of George Washington's last illness): two copious bleedings; a blister applied to the part affected; two moderate doses of calomel [a mercury-based emetic]; an injection ... which operated on the lower intestine ... another bleeding, when about thirty-two ounces of blood were drawn,... vapours of vinegar and water... ten grains of calomel... repeated doses of emetic tartar... blisters applied to the extremities and a cataplasm of bran and vinegar to the throat." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told the washington Post in March 2004 that by 2005 the number of deaths in the United States caused by obesity and physical inactivity was projected to reach 500,000—more deaths than are caused by smoking, and almost the same number of deaths caused by cancer. Genetic predisposition and just plain bad luck play a role in most diseases, including those contributed to by obesity, but the greatest determinants of health are the habits, choices, demands, and environment of daily life." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"The best source of information on hormones is Marc Blackman at the washington, D.C., Veterans Affairs Medical Center, or Mitchell Harman at the Kronos Longevity Research Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. They've done the most sophisticated studies and probably the best ones we presently have on the hormone story. ARE VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS HELPFUL?

"He would find the very best expert on "mental illness" and antipsychotic medication in all of the washington metropolitan area. He found him at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in the great redbrick clinical center building that dominates the sprawling government campus. The highly touted, much-published specialist looked at Regina and repeated, almost word for word, what the university professor had said. Regina was getting the best possible treatment with the latest and safest drug, and she should continue in treatment with her prescribing doctor." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"There is evidence that a vegetarian diet causes an increased calorie burn after meals, meaning plant-based foods are being used more efficiently as fuel for the body, as opposed to being stored as fat," notes one of the reviewers, Neal Barnard, MD, of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a nonprofit organization based in washington, DC. The reviewers also reported that vegetarians experienced increased insulin sensitivity, meaning their cells absorbed nutrients more easily. Part-time vegetarians reap health benefits." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "Chapter 4 Whole Foods: Tapping the Synergy Within What do Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, and Denzel washington all have in common? Besides being top movie actors, they don't just look good, they are good. What does this have to do with whole foods, pray tell? Well, when we go to the box office, we are buying their "total package." They rarely disappoint, what with their top-shelf acting abilities and stunning good looks. Okay, this example is a bit of a reach, but it's sort of the same with whole foods. We are buying the total package, and it rarely disappoints us nutritionally." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Public Citizen, a washington, D.C.?based organization devoted to drug safety that is an offshoot of Ralph Nader's consumer rights—related organization, to petition for the removal of Meridia from the market. In addition, Lester Crawford, while acting director of the FDA, said in 2004 that the risks of Meridia do not outweigh the benefits. I do not recommend the use of Meridia—or any weight-loss drug for that matter—since no studies have ever shown that weight loss achieved with these drugs can be sustained after the drug is discontinued." - J.

"It began four years earlier when his eight-year-old son was hospitalized for a painful physical disorder and came under treatment with one of the best-known psychiatrists in washington, D.C., a professor at a local medical center. Shortly thereafter, his wife came under the same doctor's care. Both mother and son were soon much too heavily medicated. As their mental conditions deteriorated, stress grew in the family, and soon Patrick sought help from the same doctor. As three of the four family members deteriorated from drug toxicity, the other son ran emotionally aground." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Shortly thereafter, I was talking to a patient with Stanley Talpers, MD, an internist on the faculty of the George washington University School of Medicine in washington, D.C. The patient said he hadn't been losing weight, and he figured that he just needed to walk more. Dr. Talpers encouraged him to get his diet in order first because, he said, "To lose a pound by walking, you'd have to walk to Baltimore." It is true. Exercise is beneficial, and I strongly recommend it." - Neal D.

Though caravans traveled from western China to the eastern Mediterranean for centuries, they carried silk, rather than the grain that would keep rats alive for the two-hundred-day-long journey." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"John Kurtzke of the Veterans Administration Hospital in washington, D.C., saw more cases of MS in places far removed from the equator, except for those places where people eat a great deal of cold-water fish, which is rich in vitamin D and omega-3 fats—Icelanders, for example. If you were born and lived (prior to adolescence) above 37 degrees north latitude, your risk of MS is two to four times higher than if you had spent your childhood below 37 degrees north latitude." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Recent Alzheimer's research at washington University in St. Louis found that 58 percent of eighty patients had vitamin D levels of 20 or lower. Participants' mood disturbances, depression, and understanding were studied, and those with vitamin D levels below 20 were eleven times more likely to have a mood disorder and three times more likely to have impaired understanding. People with Alzheimer's disease who have early comprehension troubles that progress to dementia quickly usually have very low vitamin D levels." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"I was able to track his story back to his first hospitalization and first psychiatric encounter at a well-respected acute treatment hospital in washington, D.C. When he entered the hospital, he was feeling anxious and depressed in reaction to obvious environmental conflicts and stresses in his life. The medical record acknowledges the psychological causes for his problems. On the ward, Uri was given an older antidepressant, Elavil (amitriptyline), and soon afterward he became psychotic." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

They were compared with a matched group of eighteen controls who ate a standard American diet containing animal fat and processed foods. The average vitamin D levels were higher in the raw vegan group than in the control group, despite an extremely low dietary intake of vitamin D, indicative of the increased personal sun exposure." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Based in washington, DC., the foundation is run by Richard Gelula, a pleasant-looking man in his fifties with sandy hair and a sincere demeanor. One spring day, shortly before Lunesta's launch, when the cherry blossoms were blooming, Gelula explained the foundation's history and its mission. Dedicated to "improving public health and safety by achieving understanding of sleep and sleep disorders," the foundation was formed in 1991 by a group of sleep researchers, one of whom had lost a son who had fallen asleep at the wheel of his car." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "At the same time, drug companies expanded their influence in washington, donating heavily to congressional war chests and creating the largest, and probably the most powerful, lobbying group in the country. Once the FDA opened the door in 1997 to less-regulated direct-to-consumer advertising, says Elliott, "companies began hitting for the fences." They concentrated their efforts on potential blockbuster drugs for chronic illnesses that could be taken by millions of patients." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"But following complaints from the nail products industry about this and other wording in the guidebook, the national washington, D.C., EPA office, in collaboration with industry, ordered the text to be drastically revised and the warning watered down.

These actions include: • Routinely testing the air in nail salons for DBP and other contaminants." - Samuel S.

"They sprayed harmless bacteria into the departure lounge of Washington's National Airport. Hitching rides on the passengers and transferring onto others at their destinations, the bacteria spread from person to person. Within three weeks, they were to be found in nearly every part of the U.S. We should count ourselves lucky that AIDS is not spread as easily; we would all have been infected before the first case had been diagnosed." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "The WorldWatch Institute in washington, D.C., has estimated that the total cost of a six-year program to protect the soil, reforest the land, reduce population growth, retire the debts of the developing countries, raise energy efficiency, and develop renewable sources of energy would amount to around $750 billion. A lot, yes, but no more than the world currently spends on arms in just one year! All that we lack is the will. Are we prepared to reconsider our priorities? Can we stop destroying the rainforests, now, before it is too late? And who is responsible?" - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"At the famed Tacoma Clinic in washington, noted integrative medicine guru Jonathan Wright, M.D., frequently uses 3,000-4,000 meg with his diabetic or blood sugar-challenged patients with great results.

For Japanese Americans, the ones who developed diabetes also ate the most animal protein, animal fat, and dietary cholesterol, each of which is only found in animal-based foods.7 Total fat intake also was higher among the diabetics." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

It has been innovative in the use of acupuncture as an adjunct to addiction treatment programs, having created the Penn North Neighborhood Center as a community-based wellness center for those "seeking to recover their lives by understanding their relationships with substances." The Penn North center provides ongoing access to the wellness program, including a six-month outpatient substance abuse program and is well worth checking 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.)

"In 1996 Yvette Sheline of washington University in St. Louis compared ten patients with depression to ten healthy controls of the same physical stature and educational background, and she found that the hippocampus of depressed patients was up to 15 percent smaller compared to that of the controls. She also found evidence that the degree of shrinkage was directly related to the length of depression, and this was news." - John J.
