"They are literally everywhere—in our plastics, food wraps, water, air, spermicides, nail polish, and vaginal lubricants. As if these kinds of environmental exposure were not enough, we women may be smearing carcinogens on our bodies every day unknowingly. Nearly all skin products, deodorants, and cosmetics contain preservatives, known as parabens, that have been linked to breast cancer. Methylparaben has been shown to enter the skin and is concentrated in our fat cells." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "Do not microwave foods in plastic containers or freeze water in plastic bottles. Drink green tea instead of coffee. Avoid fabric softeners or laundry detergents that use nonylphe-nol or octylphenol, which place petrochemicals in contact with your skin. Use natural forms of pest control. Avoid condoms with the spermicide nonoxyl-9, which breaks down into a xenoestrogen. Know Your Symptoms et's talk about how you feel and what symptoms you are having, and the many reasons you may be feeling this way. As you will see, ¦¦¦miii1 symptoms are key." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"For example, if you throw some rolled oats in a covered container with raisins and water, it will be soft and ready to eat the next morning, either cold or quickly warmed. Some recommended hot whole grain cereals are non-instant oatmeal, Roman Meal, Steel Cut Oats, Wheatena, Ralston High Fiber and Quaker Multigrain. 6) Animal Products As you move through this program the goal is to limit animal products to ten percent of caloric intake or less. On the days when you do include animal products in your menu, try to keep the serving size less than five ounces." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"This should not be confused with an infusion, where water is poured over the herb. Any practitioner of Oriental medicine will verify that decocting is the historical and current method of preparing medicinal mushrooms for tonic use or immune benefit. Modern Research A review of the published scientific literature on medicinal mushrooms demonstrates that the majority of mushroom supplements tested in the medical research were hot-water or hot-water /alcohol extracts. This method is used for the most commonly used mushroom extracts, including coriolus, shiitake, maitake, cordyceps, and reishi." - Mark Stengler, The Health Benefits Of Medicinal Mushrooms (Get the book.)

"Sometimes Paul drifted into what seemed to be his own mental purgatory, standing for hours in front of a running faucet on his spindly, weak legs, mesmerized by the water, acting almost as if he were high on drugs. Lynne and Wesley began to alternate on what they called Paul Duty. One would work or do chores while the other was on Paul Duty, then they'd switch, fall into bed, and wait for Paul to wake up screaming. Another month crept by, then another." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"You may want to obtain it as a bulk powder and mix it in juice, smoothies, or warm water. Be aware that the taste is not pleasant. See the supplement section in appendix A for more information. Precautions In a 2006 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, Johns Hopkins researchers reported on the use of L-arginine during the six months following a heart attack." - 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.)

"Copper contamination of water is generally of concern due to its ability to stain sinks, tubs, and fixtures, although health effects have been associated only with excessive ingestion. Copper at trace levels is considered an essential nutrient, necessary for many enzyme reactions within the body. Some evidence links elevated levels of copper with digestive disorders, liver and kidney damage, and, in cases of acute poisoning, anemia." - Scott Alan Lewis, SC-Guide/Safe Drinking Water (Get the book.)

"If you're on "water pills," these will not only dehydrate you, they will also cause you to waste excessive amounts of potassium and magnesium, both of which may aggravate the acid excess. Acid excess (acidosis) is a stress on your system. Your body undergoes a stress response in an effort to neutralize the imbalance. The changes include higher Cortisol levels; lower growth hormone levels; and higher renin, angiotensin, and aldosterone levels. Such changes hurt your health. They decrease your bone and muscle mass by withdrawing potassium, magnesium, calcium, and protein from your bones." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"The robot was a box with an arm that moved in three directions, mechanically exposing the water containing calcium to the heparin in several easy steps. After hundreds of such experiments, Benveniste discovered that the procedure usually worked well except on days when a certain woman—an otherwise experienced scientist—was present. Benveniste suspected that the woman must be emitting some form of waves that were blocking the signals." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "A pattern was developing: as the temperature of the air rose, the pH fell, and vice versa, in near perfect harmonic rhythm. The water's electrical conductivity showed a similar harmonic cycle.10 Somehow his lab was beginning to manifest different material properties, almost as if it were a specially charged environment. The effects also continually increased. No matter which experiment he carried out, the longer the imprinted devices were in the room, the larger the rhythmic fluctuations of the temperature and pH." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"In children, arsenic poisoning can lead to mental retardation, emotional disturbances, and in some cases death, while ingestion of arsenic-contaminated water has long been recognized to cause peripheral neuropathy in adults? damage to the nerves of the peripheral nervous system.40 Although the specific relationship between arsenic and dementia is unknown, it goes without saying that researchers should inquire further into its role in neurodegeneration, and that regulatory action should protect developing brains against the ravages of this industrial chemical." - 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.) "He was one of the first advocates for modern water and sewage systems in the West, which drastically reduced the spread of disease and death. Scholars such as the humanist Harvard physician Paul Farmer also credit Virchow with establishing the field of social medicine, which is predicated on the understanding that disease is never purely biological but also has many contributing social factors. From what limited records we have of the meeting, it would seem that those on hand were not overly impressed." - 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.) "Homeopaths argue that the water retains the memory of the herb or mineral's vital essence, hence the healing power of the solution. Many critics express disbelief on the grounds that such diluted medicines could never have profound physiological effects, and that any positive outcome is surely due to the placebo effect. But part of the appeal of homeopathy is that its remedies are patient-centered and tailored to the individual." - 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 eyes of an open person (who is able to get his own emotions to flow freely) are calm and relaxed, as if they were the water's surface, able to reflect the images. Such a quality can be noticed within children, who are free from social conventions and expectations about being accepted, demonstrating their entirely innocent transparency. Growing up, a child becomes a part of society in which feelings are less important, and indeed, every society gives less importance to expressing feelings and their power and cares more about repeating rules and social conventions." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"They also suggested that people who live in soft water areas, those taking diuretics, and/or those predisposed to magnesium loss or ectopic beats may require additional magnesium in their diets. The incidence of magnesium deficiency has been on the rise in recent years. This situation has led to an increase in studies attempting to correlate these deficiencies with an increased risk for a variety of disease syndromes." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "The feats they perform, whether on the athletic field, atop a mountain, or on the water, are well beyond the capabilities of you and me. It's a statistical fact, and not just an expression, that the fit are more likely to survive. Let's face it, some people are real life versions of professional athletes as the can train and develop incredible muscle, strength, speed and agility. Most of us, however, can't even reach a training level high enough to win a foot race against our neighbors—let alone the Boston Marathon." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "Softened water and a trend toward lower vegetable consumption are the culprits contributing to these rising deficiencies. SUPPORTING THE LINKS IN THE ENERGY CYCLE CHAIN? THE SYNERGY Clearly, each member of the "Awesome Foursome" is fundamental to cellular energy metabolism in its own right. Each plays a unique and vital role in supplying the heart with the energy it needs to preserve its contractile force. Each is independently effective in helping hearts work through the stress of disease." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"In the beginning of this book, I used the patterns of sound in water as an analogy for the way our "belief waves" ripple through the quantum stuff of which the universe is made. Without describing exactly how the ripples move, the idea was that the experience we call "belief" has an effect that extends well beyond our bodies where it's created. In that effect we find our power." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "The bottom image on the left is a NASA image showing the eye of a hurricane from space, and the image above it is a water vortex. The similarities are striking. The bottom image on the right is a graphic depiction of our solar system, and at top is a mechanical model of the atom. Both sets of images illustrate how self-similar, repeating patterns can be used to describe the universe from the very small to the very large, differing only in scale." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Canned vegetables are often blanched in boiling water before canning, and manufacturers add salt to increase shelf life. Most manufacturers of canned fruits add sugar for preservation. Frozen produce is often blanched before freezing, and a significant number of nutrients are destroyed in the blanching process. Think of it like this: ?Fresh is best. ?Frozen is okay when you're in a bind. ?Canned is okay if you're stranded on a desert island. If you do use canned produce or meat, rinse it to get rid of the added salt and sugar." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Give them healthy sandwiches with fruit instead of candy, and water instead of sodas. And you don't have to sacrifice comfort foods, either—you can make healthy antioxidant pizza. Slowly replace white rice with brown rice. And get your kids involved in the kitchen—show them how to chop up kale and crush garlic. Make mealtimes a pleasurable, relaxed experience for the whole family. Nursing Immediately after childbirth, you face your first big decision about that baby's diet: to breastfeed or not to breastfeed? We all know about the immunological benefits of breastfeeding." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"If this is the case, soaking them for 24 hours and changing the water two or three times during the soaking period speeds up the cooking. Soaking also aids in breaking down the complex sugars (oligosaccharides), which challenge the digestive system and cause gas. Some herbs that help in the digestion of beans can be added during cooking. For example: bay leaves, cumin, winter or summer savory, fresh epazote (available in Hispanic markets)." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Diabetogenic contributing factors on a planetary level include living in a degraded environment in which the air, earth, and water are, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, filled with 70,000 different toxic chemicals, heavy metals, agrochemicals, and other toxic substances?5,000 of which are potentially hazardous to our health. The Environmental Defense Council reports that more than four billion pounds of toxic chemicals are released into the environment each year, including seventy-two million pounds of known carcinogens." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "The biggest water contaminants are PCBs and mercury. PCBs, along with dioxin, DDT, and dieldrin, are among the most toxic chemicals on the planet. According to John Culhane, in his 1980 article "PCBs: The Poisons That Won't Go Away," only a few parts per billion of these substances can cause cancer and birth defects in lab animals.19 The tenth annual Council on Environmental Quality, sponsored by the U.S. government, reported PCBs in 100 percent of all human sperm samples." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"When you cook foods using intense heat and without water or other liquids, such as broth or wine, the sugars bind nonen-zymatically to proteins (collagen and elastin fibers) and form glycotoxins. Visual evidence of this chemical reaction is the browning reaction seen in food cooked under high, dry heat. The cookies and cake in the oven, the chicken on the grill, and the potatoes in the frying pan are all browning and manufacturing AGEs and ALEs, increasing your risk of developing diabetic complications and speeding up the aging process itself." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.) "Steaming them involves boiling water (212°F) for, say, five minutes, while roasting or grilling them involves very high temperatures (400°F or higher). If you have high blood glucose levels, which typically greatly accelerates the biochemical reactions that lead to glycation inside the body, eating foods that are cooked with high heat for long periods of time adds food-derived glycotoxins, which further adds fuel to the fire in terms of glycation." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.) "DO: Eat foods prepared using low-heat cooking methods that employ water or liquid, like poaching, stewing, braising, boiling, steaming, slow-cooker cooking, and so on. Include a raw vegetable salad (and fruit) every day. AVOID: broiling, frying, hot-oven roasting, grilling, barbecuing. LOSE WEIGHT, FEEL FULL, LIVE LONGER Feeling full or no longer feeling hungry—also known as satiety-—by eating nutritious, lower-calorie foods is a very effective way to lose and manage weight." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.) "You just made a hummus sandwich that contains fewer calories and more water and fiber than a pita sandwich. Another tip is that you can put the brakes on your hunger by FILL YOU UP Susanna Holt, Ph.D., and her associates at the University of Sydney in Australia conducted research on satiety and developed a diet concept called the Satiety Index. This index ranks foods according to their ability to satisfy hunger, using white bread as the baseline. Foods ranked higher than white bread provide greater satiety; those ranked lower provide less." - Steven V.
