"In one study, those who were a part of the experiments were able to cause the DNA to wind or unwind, matching their specific intention. The winding of the DNA helix is associated with DNA repair and the unwinding precedes cell division. In one case, the person being studied was able to affect the condition of the DNA when the sample was half a mile away." - Margaret Ruby, The DNA of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.)

"Conditions that increase the risk of cold stress include wet clothing, wind chill, remaining outside while sweating after cessation of the exercise session, and becoming lost while exercising in the cold. Wind-chill factor, the combined effects of absolute temperature and wind velocity, should be a matter of great concern to the outdoor exerciser. wind chill can dramatically affect absolute temperature, e.g. a 15 mph wind at 0°F would reduce effective temperature to -32°F.8 Severe cold such as this can freeze exposed skin within minutes." - Michael T. Murray, ND, Textbook of Natural Medicine 2nd Edition Volume 1 (Get the book.)

"At night, it's usually okay to wind down, but not at work. The second is social: dinner is the one meal most people share with others, and the other people may be eating cooked food. The third is pleasure: for many people, cravings for cooked food, or any food for that matter, arise more strongly in the early evening. Most of us are usually too busy and preoccupied with the day's activities to focus on the pleasures and comforts of food during the day. But we relax, unwind and crave food enjoyment in the evenings." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"It nicely confirmed his own pet theory that disease was largely the result of 'morbid wind' ('as many accidents may happen from wind in the lesser, as in the greater world... ').42 His discussion of acupuncture as a successful treatment, however, focused more closely on instructing the trained medical practitioner—and on asserting the need for medical knowledge and expertise in applying the needles." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"Although it's the sail hanging on the mast of positivity that catches the wind and gives you fuel, it's the keel of negativity that keeps the boat on course and manageable. And just as the keel matters most when you're going upwind, appropriate negativity matters most in hard times. When I first shared this analogy with Marcial Losada at his dining room table, he appreciated it immediately. He jumped up to get his well-worn Encyclopaedia Britannica to look up "sailboat." Just as he'd hoped, it included a small picture of a sailboat (out of the water). He found a ruler and measured the mast." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"During winter you can sunbathe if you lie in a totally wind protected place. You can build your own sunbathing area against a wall facing the sun. The sidewalls should be made of material that can serve as a good windbreak. The wall pointing toward the sun should be at an angle slanted toward the sun so that the low winter rays can shine into the sunbathing area. Lying on a blanket, you will be warmer than if you were indoors. Another, perhaps, more practical way is to open a window on a sunny day without a breeze." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"PI AMTC nf tho Pfll ID \A/TMnC -1 Magical Uses Mai aire (bad air), Mai viento (bad wind), Susto and espanto (fright), Mai ojo (Evil eye) and daho (Sorcery) are seen as very common illnesses in Andean society. Causes include sudden changes in body temperature (mail aire, Mai viento), any kind of shock (Susto, espanto), "humors'spells cast by other people (ojo), poisoned food, etc. (daho, brujeria). Medical problems caused by outside influences were reported in a wide variety of studies [64, 105]. The Western concept of "psychosomatic disorders" comes closet to characterizing these illnesses." - Rainer W. Bussmann and Douglas Sharon, Plants of the four winds - The magic and medicinal flora of Peru (Get the book.)

"If you neatly organize papers into piles on your desk and the wind suddenly blows into the window, the papers are scattered randomly all over the floor. However, you never see the wind picking up papers from the floor and assembling them into neat piles on your desk. Such a spontaneous reduction of disorder is not impossible in principle, but it is so unlikely that it is never seen to occur. Mathematically, the amount of disorder is characterized by the quantity called entropy, and the second law says that the entropy of an isolated system can only increase." - Alex Vilenkin, Many Worlds in One: The Search for Other Universes (Get the book.)

"Think of wind blowing through a field of grass. Individual blades of grass are being buffeted this way or that. One blade is bent, another straight. One is twisted around another. However, overall, as you stand back and look over the entire field, it looks fairly symmetrical, with wide swaths of grass moving gracefully together as the wind ripples across the field. To look at it another way, the field of grass also is alive with other kinds of movement: bugs scurrying here and there, earthworms pushing dirt around, seeds germinating, and weeds growing." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Rising from a sailboat is an enormous mast that allows the sail to catch the wind. Below the waterline is the keel, which can weigh tons. You can take the mast going up as positivity, and the keel down below as negativity. If you've ever sailed, you know that you can't get anywhere without the keel. If you tried, at best you'd slide aimlessly across the water, or at worst you'd capsize. Although it's the sail hanging on the mast of positivity that catches the wind and gives you fuel, it's the keel of negativity that keeps the boat on course and manageable." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"We are most familiar with standing waves from our experience with string and wind instruments, such as a violin or clarinet. The waves that are set in motion along a violin's strings are standing waves, as are those within the cavities of wind instruments. Standing waves within a cavity occur when the waves bounce off the boundaries of the cavity. The frequency of the standing waves changes as the strings on the violin or the keys of the clarinet are pressed and so produce different notes. a. standing waves K X ?(g x x ? b. nodes c. phase polarity Figure 8.1." - Peter h.

"It's like the story of the two monks debating about the movement of a flag in the wind. 'The flag is moving', said one. 'No, the wind is moving', said the other. A third, passing by and hearing the conversation, said: 'The flag is not moving. The wind is not moving. Your mind is moving'. Remember in the Matrix movies how people were 'plugged in' to the Matrix through their brains while 'they' stayed outside sitting in a chair without moving? It's the same principle. There is something highly significant about the angle at which we observe reality in the Matrix computer game." - David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.)

"Wind speed and direction, as well as wind flow along river valleys, over hills, and around buildings, significantly alter the transporting path of airborne carcinogens. Residents of a single metropolitan area may all drink water from the same river and buy their food from the same supermarkets, but they may not all breathe the same air. Those who live downwind from the local industrial park may live in a very different atmosphere than those who live upwind. A centrally located air-monitoring system cannot account for differences in microclimate. Secondly, air is a transmutational medium." - Sandra Steingraber, Living Downstream (Get the book.)

"As a result," Procopius writes, "an evil stench pervaded the city and distressed the inhabitants still more, especially when the wind blew fresh from that quarter." The internment of the dead was practically the only occupation that drew the city's population out into the streets, which were otherwise desolate; as a consequence, the ovens of the city's bakeries remained unlit. Justinian had constructed dozens of granaries and cisterns as insurance against another Nika Revolt, but without bakers to turn wheat and water into bread, his prudence counted for little. " - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "In some accounts, a grear wind from rhe east creared a storm that drove sand into the eyes of the Roman line, permitting a decisive attack by Khalid's troops, who routed the Roman cavalry, and rode down the unprorecred infantry. Though the legend is dubious—no Arab chronicler records it, and such a poetically appropriate gift to the desert warriors practically demands skepticism—something happened to force the issue, whether a sandstorm or a more prosaic turning of the Roman flank." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "That evening the crowd, now a mob, broke into the prison, released all the occupants, and set fire to the Chalke entrance on the north side of Justinian's palace. A wind from the south spread the flames north to the senate building and to the cathedral church, the Hagia Sophia, the second to stand on that site, and the second to be burned down.* Fire, not riot per se, was the great danger." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"It turns out that, despite their highly unusual public statement, the medical editors might as well have been whispering into the wind. The study found that their recommendaticns had not been implemented, and concluded that "academic institutions rarely ensure that their investigators have ... unimpeded access to trill data." Before any medical article is accepted for publication in a respectable journal, it is peer-reviewed. Independent experts are called upon to evaluate the study's data, and to concur (or not) with the authors' analyses and conclusions." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"But the pure food scientists have thrown reason to the wind, and they reap the whirlwind. That's the whole story, and the PRP has been glad to be of service to growers these last few years in helping put the unreasonable rule makers "on the spot" That's the only way the farmer can get his FEDERAL authorities who have been grudgingly and ungraciously backing up from their inconsistent position in regard to lead and arsenic spray residue on apples. and pears will gain no comfort from a recent report of the National Institute of Health." - Will Allen, The War on Bugs (Get the book.)

"He rolled down his window and spat corn and bits of metal filling into the wind. "Well, carry on. Three fillings, and they've all come out now. Carrie sent me to the man. Said he was a good dentist—hah!" He floored his Land Rover until it hovered behind Carrie's Land Rover. The two vehicles were roaring down the highway as if they were attached to each other. He leaned out the window and hurled his gnawed mealy at his wife's Land Rover. It bounced off her rear window. She didn't seem to notice. We passed a sign that said: reduce road carnage? drive safely." - Richard Preston, The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story (Get the book.)

"Often we can rally through, but when we hit perimenopause and our ovaries wind down, adrenal symptoms can appear as depression. Rest, meditation, yoga, good food, and lots of sleep can help, but if you can't afford a health spa (and even if you can), support your adrenal glands. Most women improve dramatically with some adrenal supports, such as adrenal extracts, Cortisol, or herbs. As your adrenal glands recover, they will regain their natural rhythm and can even help make more sex hormones." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "When our ovaries start to wind down during perimenopause, our adrenal glands, which had been comfortably pumping out stress hormones, are suddenly saddled with double duty—now producing sex hormones and stress hormones. When our adrenals tire, we tire easily, gain weight, are susceptible to colds, and become easily irritated. Adrenal deficiency is so common that it has been dubbed The Twenty-First-Century Syndrome." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "Late-afternoon or evening levels should be on the lowest end of the normal range to enable a person to wind down and fall asleep, usually 3 to 7ug/dl. * Salivary Cortisol can be measured throughout the day to see how well your Cortisol is regulated. Remember, you want your Cortisol to be highest in the morning, with a gradual decline as the day goes on. A twenty-four-hour urine test for Cortisol can be helpful to determine how severe your Cortisol deficiency might be." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "Estrones are produced mainly in your liver and fat cells, but not in your ovaries, which wind down during perimenopause. Most of your estrogen metabolizes into some form of estrone. Now, there's really no such thing as a good or bad hormone, but bad estrones are a bit like hazardous waste, as they can pollute the body by causing cell damage if the body doesn't handle them properly." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"I walked in the wind, and had no angina," he says. He turned to his wife, Joseanne, and spoke triumphant words any one of the study participants would endorse: "We won the battle!" 7 Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me? One of the longtime followers of my nutrition plan is a man named Abraham Brickner, now retired, who was the Cleveland Clinic's director of health services, research and program development. Abe's mother died of heart disease when she was sixty-two. His brother had bypass surgery at the age of fifty-five and died from his heart disease a decade later." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"These signposts are basically proteins on the surface of cells, and they wave like flags in the wind during development so that when the myelinated axon gets there it's like a signal flag telling the axon which direction to head in to connect with the right muscle and, conversely, which direction to avoid. Together, these axons pave the road with the nerves that will form the intricate highway of the nervous system. Kerr realized he had none of these signposts in place. And so it made sense—if frustratingly so—that the axons would then meander aimlessly and never reach muscle." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"The other way would be to slip the band over one or other end, with or without first stretching it, so as to wind it two or more times around the pipe. A string that merely occupies the relevant dimension(s) is said to be unwrapped. And one that similarly encircles a compactified dimension is said to be wrapped. A wrapped string can derive intrinsic energy from two sources. One source, which we have already discussed, is vibration. But a situation in which a string is wound round one of the dimensions of space is another; it gives rise to winding energy." - Michael Lockwood, The Labyrinth of Time: Introducing the Universe (Get the book.)

"He made sure to let Renita and Marion know whenever he got wind of yet another neighbor who should be added to their lupus tally. Then Kayla joined the list. She began to have terrible joint pain along with her other symptoms. At first, given her vision problems, doctors diagnosed her with MS. They did a brain biopsy and found, however, that Kayla had central-nervous-system vasculitis, an autoimmune disease of the blood vessels of the brain. Then, after more testing, they added the diagnosis of lupus. The majority of those struck with lupus were young women of childbearing years." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Mayer not to bid for the film rights to Margaret Mitchell's novel, Gone With the wind, 1936 "Irving knows what's right."24 —Louis B. Mayer (co-founder of MGM), taking Thalberg's advice not to buy Gone With the Wind "What a part for Ronald Colman!"25 —Clark Gable (actor), commenting on the role of Rhett Butler after friends suggested he read the screenplay of Gone With the wind, 1938 "Gone With the wind is going to be the biggest flop in Hollywood history. I'mjust glad it'll be Clark Gable who's falling flat on his face and not Gary Cooper." - Christopher Cerf and Victor S.
