"All predictions are that the future will bring dramatic increase in mental problems," says former world health organization (WHO) director-general Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, who labels mental health "a crisis of the 21st century." According to the world health organization Mental Health Atlas, updated in 2005, global resources devoted to mental and neurological disorders remain "grossly insufficient" to address the growing burden of need. The findings "reflect the ongoing reality that the world still considers mental health care as a low priority within public health," says Dr." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Joel Fuhrman, based on data from the world health organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.86 Populations with low death rates from the major killer diseases are populations that almost never have overweight members and that consume more than 75 percent of their calories from unrefined plant foods. This is at least ten times more unrefined plant source foods than the average American consumes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Studies conducted by the world health organization (WHO) have shown that people labeled "schizophrenic" do much more poorly when treated in Western societies than when given little or no treatment in more "primitive" cultures.4 The drugs that are invariably forced on these disturbed people in modern societies make them more helpless and turn them into chronic patients. By contrast, the drug-free extended family relationships in the non-Western societies tend to bring people back toward effective functioning in a matter of months." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"According to surveys done by the world health organization for its World Health Report 2000, patients in the United States are provided with the best service in the world. These surveys evaluated seven nonmedical aspects of health care?dignity, autonomy, confidentiality, prompt attention, quality of basic amenities, access to family and friends during care, and choice of health care provider. The WHO aggregated these results into a measure called "health system responsiveness," on which the United States ranks first." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "In this case, however, the source of information is the trusted world health organization, on which public health officials in every country rely for health information and policy recommendations. Can't we trust that its recommendations are free of commercial influence and in the best interests of women around the world? Unfortunately, we cannot. At the time that the WHO study group did its work, there were several new drugs for osteoporosis in the pipeline." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "But it wasn't until 1993, when a study group hosted by the world health organization established clear-cut definitions of osteoporosis and osteopenia, that doctors were provided with straightforward criteria to make these diagnoses and upon which to base their treatment recommendations. According to the WHO study group, a woman has osteoporosis when her bone mineral density (BMD), as measured by a simple x-ray test, is 2.5 or more standard deviations below the average peak bone mass of healthy young adult women. This is defined as a T score of-2.5 or less." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "But after many years of use, as a study done by the world health organization found, clofibrate (brand name Atromid-S) increased the overall risk of death by 47 percent. (About half the excess deaths were due to cancer.) Similarly, a study done by the National Public Health Institute at the University of Helsinki, Finland, showed that the death rate among people taking the other popular fibrate, gemfibrozil (brand name Lopid), for 8.5 years was 21 percent higher than that for the people taking placebos." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"The documentary's accompanying Web site states that with continued warming, deaths from climate-related illness are expected to rise sharply over the next two decades, according to projections by the world health organization. The question emerges: As the planet warms from pollution and infection-bearing mosquitoes and ticks proliferate in more temperate climates, how much will illness rates rise? Mosquitoes that transmit diseases such as West Nile virus thrive in warm weather." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Using world health organization figures on years of life lost per person dying of diabetes, this translates into more than 25 million years of total life lost each year to the disability and to reduced quality of life caused by the preventable complications of diabetes.34 ECONOMIC IMPACT The estimated economic impact of diabetes is considerable, and is becoming most noticeably felt in the poorest countries, where people with diabetes and their families bear almost the entire cost of whatever medical care they can afford." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"By 1984, Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI), a confederation of all the national Alzheimer's groups, was founded with encouragement from the world health organization. debate on whether Alzheimer's disease is an outmoded concept. This international group provides an important global perspective on the impact of dementia. The increasing challenges of aging populations in developing countries deserve greater emphasis on the world stage." - 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.)

"Eighteen percent of sons of mothers with high beef consumption had sperm levels lower than what the world health organization considers the lower limit of subfertil-ity—this rate of infertility is three times higher than sons of mothers with low beef consumption. Extrapolating, we have two theoretical potentials: sons of vegan mothers are more virile, and vegan men are more virile. Research has also shown that removing meat from your diet and eating a plant-sourced diet can reduce or eliminate asthma." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Reaven stated in the June 2006 edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that the world health organization, the Adult Treatment Panel III, and the International Diabetes Federation have all created diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome, but that diagnosing the syndrome in a person isn't nearly as important as targeting the core underlying problem—insulin resistance—and aggressively taking steps to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in these people. We agree." - 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.)

"The highest numbers, however, are found in the Western Pacific, where some 67 million people have diabetes, followed by Europe with 53 million. The world health organization (WHO) warns that deaths due to diabetes will increase globally by as much as 80 percent in some regions over the next ten years.2 Professor Pierre Lefebvre, president of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), explains: "It is estimated that over 3.8 million deaths can be attributed to diabetes each year. That is 8,700 deaths every day; or six deaths every minute." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Several scientists are now working under the auspices of the world health organization to create an autoimmunity task force that, if given adequate dollars, would serve as a worldwide monitoring group to educate against manufacturing practices that are most likely to put populations at risk. Such a watchdog group would also act as a rapid response team, investigating outbreaks in time to prevent widespread problems." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and about 300 million people worldwide, based on world health organization statistics. More than half of all asthmatics have reported experiencing asthma attacks triggered by fragrances or odors, and numerous allergenic ingredients have been identified in perfumes. Warning labels for twenty-six of them are already required by the European Union. This may also provide a clue as to why one in ten people in the U.S. suffer from bouts of asthma, compared to only one in twenty of the world's population. The U.S." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "These include world health organization International Agency for Cancer Research monographs; U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) reports, based on rodent tests, of some 600 chemicals; and NTFs infrequent Annual Reports on Carcinogens (initiated in 1978, with twelve reports published by 2006).

"Gerald Gibb had been one of a handful of noted physicians selected by the world health organization to visit China when foreigners were first permitted inside the Great Wall. He initiated me into the practice of acupuncture and gave me a taste of Chinese medical theory. For the first time, I began to understand the connection between emotions, symptoms, diet, and the environment. For the Chinese, there was no such thing as disease, there was simply balance and imbalance. You were either in balance or out of balance." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Night Shift Work: The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has added working the night shift to a list of possible carcinogens, based on an analysis of the existing research on the topic. The IARC reviewed studies on night workers, primarily nurses and airline crews, and found night workers were more likely to develop cancer than day workers. "There was enough of a pattern in people who do shift work to recognize that there's an increase in cancer," said IARC carcinogen classifications unit head Vincent Cogliano." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"United States and Canada, despite being banned in Britain, Australia and Norway. The world health organization periodically issues warnings, and studies dating back to 1973 have shown it causes internal organ damage and cancer in mice and rats. Cooking with peel, making marmalade, zesting oranges, putting a slice in a drink, even sinking your teeth into an orange may be a flirt with toxicity. In order to establish whether your citrus has been dyed, peel off the rind and look at the white stringy fluff still attached to the fruit—is it orangeish?" - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"It is very nutrient-dense, so much so that the 1989 special edition of the world health organization stated that chlorella supplies all the minerals, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, as well as chlorophyll, that the human body needs for good health. It is noted for a property called Chlorella Growth Factor which gives it the ability to promote tissue repair and growth. It is readily digestible and is a very suitable alkaline food for all ages, from infants to the elderly. Chlorella is particularly valuable for its ability to remove modern-day toxins from our bodies." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"For example, most postmenopausal women with fractures do not have a bone density score that meets the WHO osteoporosis criteria.7 The world health organization, the National Osteoporosis Foundation, and other expert panels are in the process of releasing new guidelines to estimate a woman's risk of an osteoporotic fracture, using a bone density test along with these other risks.

"Osteoporosis is defined as a skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and a deterioration in bone microarchitecture leading to bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture4 and is ROSIS responsible for about 90 percent of all hip and spine fractures in white American women aged 65 to 84.5 The world health organization (WHO) has defined osteoporosis as a bone mineral density that is 2.5 standard deviations (SD) below the mean peak value in young adults.6 This is called the T-score. A T-score that is between 1 and 2.5 SD below the mean is called osteopenia." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

The studies of Courtenay Harding also proved seminal in developing the recovery movement. Harding studied patients leaving Vermont State Hospital, a state psychiatric hospital, between 1955 and i960." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) "Indeed, half of all psychiatric patients are seen in (more lucrative) private practice, and almost half of all patients in private practices have symptoms that are not debilitating or profound enough to add up to illnesses.

"To give you some idea just how permissive that is, the world health organization recommends that no more than 10 percent of daily calories come from added sugars, a benchmark that the U.S. sugar lobby has worked furiously to dismantle. In 2004 it enlisted the Bush State Department in a campaign to get the recommendation changed and has threatened to lobby Congress to cut WHO funding unless the organization recants. Perhaps we should be grateful that the saturated fat interests have as yet organized no such lobby." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"In 2001, an Expert Consultation meeting arranged by the world health organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations created a now widely accepted definition for probiotics. They define the term probiotic as: live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host. Medically, probiotic is defined as microorganisms that positively affect the health of our body when administered in adequate amounts. A probiotic offers a health benefit to the host. What are these health benefits?" - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "He also demonstrated how amounts of Definition of Probiotic In October, 2001, an Expert Consultation meeting convened by the Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) and world health organization (WHO) defined probiotic as "live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host." This definition has the following characteristics: • Probiotics must deliver a measured physiological benefit, substantiated by studies conducted in the target host. • Probiotics need not be restricted to food applications or oral delivery." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"After that he became medical director for the Netherlands equivalent of our FDA, then head of pharmaceuticals for the world health organization (WHO) in Europe, and then a professor of drug policy studies in Norway. I especially admire his enormous expenditure of effort in traveling around the world to help establish drug-monitoring agencies for third-world countries. He also recently retired from the editorships of the largest annual compendium on adverse drug reactions, Meyler's Side Effects of Drugs, and the peer-reviewed International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)
