 "Whereas we tested young adults, another notable series of studies tested adults over sixty. We tracked people's responses after a national crisis, but these studies tracked people's responses after personal crises, ranging from minor, everyday stressors to major life events, like losing a spouse.5 In study after study, just as we found, researchers found that people who bounce back show more emotional complexity when facing stressors.
When stress arrives at your doorstep, does positivity fly out the window? For many people, it does. But not for those who score high on resiliency surveys."- Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.) |
 "It gave the grade "A" for colorectal screening, concluding that it is "effective in reducing mortality" and is "underused by age-eligible adults."
We are not arguing that lives have prices, but rather that wise health policy must consider, among other factors, cost-effective decisions. Public education about diet or the importance of antioxidants, to cite two examples, might be a wiser investment and accomplish more in mortality reduction than gained by colorectal screening. The implications for this book are not so clear: there is some evidence that screening saves lives."- Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) |
 "Men and women, adults and children, rich and poor, city-dwellers and country folk, sickly and hale, gluttonous and abstemious, pillars of virtue and slaves of the flesh—each would need slightly or radically different therapies. Since Hahnemann was suspicious of medical claims to be able to explain and identify diseases (although not necessarily of the notion of specific disease), he hedged his bets. His new medical system focused very closely on individual constellations of symptoms, rather than on what he regarded as largely speculative disease entities."- Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.) |
 "The study population was comprised of adults who sought care for low back pain at the Harvard Vanguard mul-tispecialty clinic. By definition, they sought care from physicians. They were randomized to whatever that care entailed or the ability to choose from a menu of cam. After five weeks, those who added some form of cam to their medical therapy were no better off for the choosing in terms of symptoms or function. They were more "satisfied" with their choice, but that came at considerable additional expense. This must speak to preconceived notions, to beliefs."- Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) |
 "Four reasons stand out:
One, fetuses are so much more sensitive to toxic chemicals than adults or even children, so the interaction of toxins is even more unpredictable, and could cause even greater damage.
Two, the blood-brain barrier in fetuses is not fully developed, which means toxic chemicals may inflict neurological harm.
Three, female fetuses are born bearing eggs that will become their future children (should they choose to have them), which means that future generations, too, can be affected by current toxic exposures."- 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.) "For some of the chemicals, we know some safe levels for a single chemical in adults," commented Tim Kropp, a senior scientist with the Environmental Working Group. "In none of them, however, do we know what the safe level is in combination with each other and not what [the safe level] is in babies." These tests were exceedingly expensive, about $10,000 for each umbilical cord tested, which helps explain why ignorance about the fetal absorption of contaminants has persisted for so long." - 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.) "Also, because their cells are dividing much more rapidly than those of adults', their bodies are more likely to develop genetic mutations that result in cancers later in adult life. Given the exquisite sensitivity of infants and young children, the ingredients in each of their personal care products must be safe —and safe without a doubt—or you could, quite unintentionally, be endangering their health and safety all the way into their adult life. As this chapter will make clear, nearly all of the infant products on the market today are not safe." - Samuel S.

 "Children have an innocence that adults have lost, an awareness of simple truths that we have forgotten. They are reminders of the way we too once were.
This purity seems to be something innate. Children do not learn it from their parents; on the contrary, parents frequently find their children to be the teachers in these matters. Nor is it something they are educated into; if anything, they are educated out of it. More likely, it is a reflection of human consciousness in its natural, unsullied state.
It is the same with the development of our species."- Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) |
 "Essential oils should almost always be diluted,- lavender, a good all-rounder which can enliven or relax, is the only oil that can be used neat—but then only on adults.
Other effective ways to use essential oils are to add 2-3 drops to an oil burner, for a fragrant home or work place,- or add a few drops to your bathwater for a blissful experience. A few drops of oil in a bowl of steaming water will create healing aromatic vapours to clear away congestion and restore comfort to your body. A drop of chamomile, marjoram or lavender oil on your pillowcase will lull you off to sleep."- Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) |
| "In his book Waking Up, the psychologist Charles Tart shows that ordinary hypnosis is a voluntary and limited relationship between consenting adults. The power given to the hypnotist is limited by time (usually to an hour or two) and by various ethical constraints (the subject does not expect to be bullied, threatened, or harmed). If the hypnosis does not work very well, the subject is not blamed." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) |
| "Having said that, there are plenty of cases where adults have suddenly developed asthma without any prior warning. The onset is often linked to some change in their circumstances, such as moving house or changing jobs, which brings them in contact with an allergen that they had not been exposed to before. Attacks of asthma have been found to be more common during puberty, times of emotional stress, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause, all of which point to emotional or hormonal factors playing a part." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) |
 "According to the Canadian Celiac Association, adults can consume Vi to % cup of uncontaminated dry rolled oats and children can have % cup. If you are unsure of contamination, do not eat them."- Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "Following a gluten-free diet, children can heal the small intestine in three to six months and adults sometimes up to two years. Healing of the villi means that the small intestine can properly absorb nutrients. However, improvement begins as soon as the diet is adhered to. Although one must avoid gluten to stay healthy, certain remedies can help the intestinal tract to heal much faster if they are given in conjunction with a gluten free diet." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "Recommended dosage for adults is two to six grams per day with meals. There are no known side effects of L-glutamine. Peppermint Oil Enteric coated peppermint oil capsules are helpful in relieving gas, fullness and spasms of the intestinal tract. The oil is also considered to be anti-bacterial. Typical dosage is 200 mgs to 400 mgs per day. Those with a very sensitive stomach may be bothered by this herb. This herb is not suited to those with gallbladder or liver disease. HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME There are many homeopathic remedies for irritable bowel syndrome." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "Recommended dosage for adults is two to six grams per day with meals. There are no known side effects of L-glutamine. High potency Multi vitamin People who suffer from Crohn's disease are at risk for vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is wise to take a daily multi vitamin in a liquid or capsule. These are easier to assimilate than a tablet. I usually don't recommend "one a day" types of vitamins because they contain so many vitamins and minerals, they are packed very tightly to enable one to swallow them. If they did not, people would choke on them." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) |
| "Updated in 1932, 1940, and 1947, it recommended that adults: "Walk at least three miles a day" and "add an orange and cereal to your breakfast." The 1947 Manual advocated the yearly physical as a way of promoting personal vigor and mental fitness. Physicians performing exams were advised not to offer patients promises of good health, but rather to help them modify unhealthful habits.
The life insurance industry, interested in assessing the financial risk posed by applicants, was an early advocate of routine physical examinations." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) "Preventive Services Task Force gave a (generous in our estimation) grade of "C" for ECGs (either resting or exercise) for middle-aged adults. All screening tests for cancer are rife with false negatives. A good example is the PSA test, administered to three-quarters of all men over age fifty in the United States. According to a 2002 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the much (and, in our view, appropriately) maligned PSA test misses four of five cancers in men under age sixty, and almost two-thirds in men over that age." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) |
 "Older adults are especially susceptible to low levels of vitamin D because number one, they get less sun exposure, and two, their skin is less efficient in producing vitamin D from the sun in the first place. And it's not easy to get enough vitamin D from food sources.
New Moms at Risk
The scientist who's done the most research on vitamin D and the one who's been sounding the alarm the loudest about our collective vitamin D deficiency and the need for smart sun exposure is Michael Holick, M.D. He's written a great book called The UVAdvantage, which I highly recommend."- 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.) "At the end of the three-year study, Regarding folic acid: The recommended daily allowance for adults is 400 meg and 600 meg for pregnant women. I say nonsense. I'd like to see 800 meg as the minimum, and I routinely use amounts in the milligram (not the smaller microgram) level. In fact, one of my favorite folic acid supplements (Super Folate Supreme) comes in an eyedropper—one single drop of the fluid gives you 800 meg. I routinely put at least four or five drops (4 mg to 5 mg) in a smoothie or fresh vegetable and fruit juice (the folic acid is tasteless!)." - 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.) "But the leading cause of adult blindness and vision loss in adults over sixty is something called macular degeneration. And a few simple supplements can significantly reduce the risk of your ever getting it. You may recall from high school biology that the retina contains two types of photoreceptors—cones and rods. Cones are the ones that provide color sensitivity, and most of them are located in the central area of the retina in a structure called the macula." - 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.) |
| "The more fully adults awaken from their dreams, the less likely they are to infect their children with the erroneous thinking and value system that so troubles our world. Not having so much conditioning to unlearn as their parents did, the next generation could mature that much more quickly.
Already there are signs that this is happening. I know many in their teens and early twenties whose perceptions and values far outshine the liberated thinking of a couple of decades ago." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) |
 "In 1998, investigators reported that the daily exposure of infants to isofiavones in soy infant formula is 6 to 11 times higher on a body weight basis than the dose that has hormonal effects in adults consuming soy foods. Circulating concentrations of isofiavones in infants fed soy-based formula were 13,000 to 22,000 times higher than plasma estradiol concentrations in infants on cows milk formula. ... Fitzpatrick estimated that an infant exclusively fed soy formula receives the estrogenic equivalent (based on body weight) of at least five birth control pills per day."- Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) |
 "Nobody had ever talked about successful adults with attention disorders until Ned and I included their case studies in Driven to Distraction. Several of these patients had discovered on their own that they could use exercise as a way of self-medicating to allow them to be more productive. I remember one in particular who is now managing a billion-dollar hedge fund: he takes a stimulant in the morning and plays squash every day at lunch, right about the time the medicine wears off.
Most people instinctively know that exercise burns off energy."- John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) |
 "Attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) is a condition affecting children and adults that is characterized by problems with attention, impulsivity, and sometimes overactivity.The"H"in ADHD stands for hyperactivity, and sometimes parents are confused by this diagnosis because they think that "hyperactivity" and the condition of ADD in general are synonymous. Because we now know the condition often manifests as a combination of inattention and impulsivity without any overt hyperactivity, the two separate designations are needed."- Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "ADD and ADHD affect from 3 to 7 percent of school-age children and anywhere from 2 to 4 percent of adults. Some reports, however, reflect that this percentage may be even higher. ADD and ADHD are the current diagnostic labels for a condition that has been recognized and studied for over a century. Over the years, it has been known by several other names, including brain damaged syndrome, minimal brain dysfunction, and hyperkinetic impulsive disorder. Science recognizes three subtypes of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "But it helps a child to have adults actively interested and involved in modifying behavior that is causing problems. Many children make it through preschool and kindergarten unscathed, thanks to teachers who are dedicated and talented and love what they do. No one goes into teaching kindergarten for the money. These teachers have a gift for handling the often unpredictable behavior of five-year-olds, the academic bar is still set pretty low, and the environment continues to be fairly informal." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) |
 "Western diet, their birth rate doubled, but adults now die extremely prematurely from diabetes and heart disease.1819
THE REAL CAUSE OF VASCULAR DISEASE
Now that you understand this concept, imagine you were the master genetic computer programmer. To activate killer genes, what programs would you write? Let's start with coronary artery disease, and vascular disease in general, which results from "calluses" accumulating in our blood vessels. Traditional thinking holds that the Western high-fat diet causes fat to stick to our arteries."- Dr. Steven R.

 "The Lung Driver field correlates strongly to higher mental functions in children and to nonordinary states of consciousness in adults. The latter finding is, of course, not new, as healers from cultures throughout the ages and across the globe, and especially those from the Far East and Himalayan regions, have developed breathing and toning techniques to aid healing and encourage mental and spiritual growth.
Specific toxins that may on a bioenergetic level particularly compromise the Lung Driver field include butanols and asbestos."- Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "The same type of reaction can be seen in adults who were subject to protracted and severe verbal abuse as children. The sound of a raised voice from an authority figure can set them on edge. All that many of us can remember from a bad car accident is the crashing sound. Each of these examples explains what we mean by auditory shock. The Energetic Star 9 Infoceutical is designed to address bioenergetic distortions at the level of the temporal lobe, which is the primary area of the brain that processes sound, and specific sound and speech recognition centers of the brain, such as Broca's area." - Peter h.
