"Medicinal Use The Mochica used coca for medicinal purposes; unfortunately, no documents about actual applications have come down to us (von Hagen 1979, 156 f). In pre-Columbian times, coca apparently was commonly used as a local anesthetic for trephinations and other surgical procedures (Dietschy 1938). The contemporary folk medical uses of Erythroxylum novogranatense are more or less identical to the uses of Erythroxylum coca. Constituents The constituents of the two varieties are essentially the same as those in Erythroxylum coca, with some slight exceptions." - Christian Ratsch, The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications (Get the book.) "Sometimes a plant's medicinal applications are much more important than its psychoactive uses. For these reasons, as much information as possible is provided about the medicinal uses of the plant under discussion. This includes ethnomedical, folk medical, biomedical, and homeopathic uses. Constituents Under this heading may be found a comprehensive listing of the known constituents of the plant. Effects Here, the effect or the pattern of effects of the plant is described." - Christian Ratsch, The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications (Get the book.) "As a result, the different oils have correspondingly different applications and dosages. The oil of the apiol race is used to induce abortions. For this purpose, either a single dose of up to 10.8 g or a daily dose of 1 g for one to two weeks is ingested (Frank 1994, 109). Only the oil of the myristicin race can be used for psychoactive purposes (cf. Myristica fragrans). Unfortunately, no reliable information regarding dosages is available." - Christian Ratsch, The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications (Get the book.)

"In Sweden, drug applications must include all known studies—published or not—relevant to the new drug. When researchers from the Swedish Drug Authority went through the new drug applications for the five new antidepressants, they found that a total of 42 studies had been completed. It turned out that exactly half of these showed that the new antidepressants are more effective than the placebos and half found that they are not. The 22 positive articles that had been published represented 19 of the positive studies (three were published twice)." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "With PDUFA funds, the FDA was able to increase the staff at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, or CDER, from 1300 to 2300, all assigned to expedite new-drug applications for patented (not generic) drugs. In the four years following the enactment of PDUFA, the median length of time the FDA took to decide on priority new-drug applications dropped from 20 months down to six months. At the same time, the average number of new drugs approved doubled." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"For Benveniste the biologist, the applications, naturally enough, were medical. He believed his discovery could open the way for an entirely new digital biology and medicine, which would replace the current clumsy hit-and-miss method of taking drugs. It occurred to him that if you don't need the molecule itself, but only its signal, then you don't need to take drugs, do biopsies or test for toxic substances or pathogens such as parasites and bacteria with physical sampling. As he'd already shown in one study, you could use frequency signaling to detect the bacteria E. coli." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "This could have all sorts of practical everyday applications on earth. Imagine, for instance, if you could turn off gravity and levitate patients. You could make bedsores avthing of the past. Or you could try something even more outlandish. You could try to extract your energy from the nothingness of space itself. The 'ZPF', scientists agreed, represented one of the best possible scenarios ?a 'cosmic free lunch', as Graham Ennis liked to put it, an endless supply of something from nothing." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Changing the very nature of plastic, NatureWorks is using nontoxic polylactic acid, derived from natural plant carbon sugars that can be used in a broad range of applications, most often packaging, but also for textiles, fiberfill for bedding, and even for reusable plates and cups. This is a great because instead of using fossil fuels to create plastics as has been done in the past, Nature-Works is developing new applications and improving the technology for making plastics from renewable resources." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Ideally, one has become so intimately involved with the heart, soul, and spirit of the plant—becoming a true ally—that applications in all of these aspects are used to heal the heart, soul, and spirit of a person. The question often arises about the difference between knowing a plant and knowing a plant spirit. I can have a casual understanding of a plant that I may have learned from a book or even from its occasional use, but the spirit of the plant doesn't live within me." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"And always, he was writing applications for grants to support his research and make sure his salary did not become smaller than it already was. He often found himself exhausted. But then he would walk through the hospital's lobby and see the sick children and want to work twenty-four hours a day. After three years at the hospital, his family's financial struggles and the crushing amount of student debt had become what he called a crisis. He began to think that a job in the pharmaceutical industry could offer a solution." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Repeated applications of biofield therapy can reduce inflammation, heal problems that have been resistant to traditional medical approaches, and heal even the most stubborn, life-threatening conditions. Think about what this means to you. If you invest some of yourself now in learning the technique, you will have a tremendous ability to make yourself and others feel dramatically better. If you or someone you love is in any level of physical distress, you have within your mind the ability to help heal it." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Other dietary lipids, including gamma linolenic acid and conjugated linoleic acid, may play anti-inflammatory roles by modifying lipid and nonlipid mediators of the inflammatory response [38-40], but additional studies are needed in IBD applications. 4. Sugar and a Refined Diet In earlier reports, consumption of sucrose, refined cereals, fast foods, and fat was positively associated with either the incidence or onset of inflammatory bowel disease [22, 41, 42]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"With Thomas Watt's commercially viable steam engine, the power of steam was effectively harnessed. The applications of chemistry followed shortly thereafter. In the late eighteenth century the development of synthetic dyes led to the emergence of entire chemical industries. The consequences were felt first in textiles when innovations in spinning cotton stimulated inventions leading to machines capable of factory-based mass production. Industrial development then spread from textiles to iron, as cheaper cast iron replaced more expensive wrought iron." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Determining the further practical applications of the power of thought is the purpose of the next portion of this book—the part that involves you as a partner in the research. Although the power of intention is such that any sort of focused will may have some effect, the scientific evidence suggests that you will be a more effective "intender" if you become more "coherent," in the scientific sense of the term." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"The logical reasons for their popularity are their many applications and the direct connection between proteins and illness. There are several different types of protease used therapeutically, derived from four main forms: þFungal-based, sometimes called plant-based: protease, catalase, and seaprose þBacterial-based: serratiopeptidase and nattokinase þPlant-sourced (sometimes called "tropical"): bromelain, papain, and ficin þAnimal-sourced: pancreatin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin Most of these will be discussed in more detail in chapter 4." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"To bring the images back to life, one has to seek, not interesting applications to modern affairs, but illuminating hints from the inspired past. When these are found, vast areas of half-dead iconography disclose again their permanently human meaning." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) "Its purpose is to show that essential parallels exist in the myths themselves as well as in the interpretations and applications that the sages have announced for them. 44 Translated by Dom Ansgar Nelson, O.S.B., in The Soul Afire (New York: Pantheon Books, 1944), p. 303. and thou art I; and wheresoever thou mayest be I am there. In all am I scattered, and whensoever thou wiliest, thou gatherest Me; and gathering Me, thou gatherest Thyself." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"Biomarkers can be classified broadly into markers of exposure, effect, and susceptibility and have numerous applications in nutrition. They can be used to assess dietary intakes (exposure), biochemical or physiological responses to a dietary behavior or nutrition intervention (effect), and predisposition to a particular disease or response to treatment (genetic susceptibility)." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Hal and Ken began coming up with gadget applications that would use this energy and then patenting their discoveries. Eventually they would invent a special device that could fit an X-ray device at the end of a hypodermic needle, enabling medics to take pictures of body parts in tiny crevices, and then a high-frequency signal generator radar device that would allow radar to be generated from a source no larger than a plastic credit card. They would also be among the first to design a flat-panel television, the width of a hanging picture." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Jokichi Takamine filed patent applications for "Taka koji" from Aspergillus oryzae (a fungus rich with enzyme activity). This formed the basis for Dr. Takamine's fermentation process for the industrial production of a fungal amylase, the first of its kind. The method of fermentation suggested by Takamine is still used in the production of certain enzymes today. In 1894 Takamine moved his family to the United States and opened his own research laboratory in New York City." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"While officially exploring these practical applications, Korotkov privately carried on with his own studies of what had really captured his imagination: the connection between biofields and consciousness.31 He took GDV readings of healers and a Qigong master while they were sending energy, and discovered remarkable changes in their corona discharges. Korotkov then explored the effects of a person's thoughts on the people surrounding him. He asked a number of couples to "send" a variety of thoughts to their partners, while they were standing within close range." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"More patented applications for ribose therapy were to follow. The first organized clinical trial of ribose in human subjects was reported in 1989. This study showing the effect of ribose in patients with the genetic muscle disorder myoadenylate deaminase disease (MAD), was overwhelmingly positive. It also created a torrent of clinical investigations around the world studying the effects of ribose administration on heart disease, genetic disorders affecting muscle energy metabolism, arthritis, athletic performance, and neuromusclular disease." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"HBOT was first used when scuba divers needed extra oxygen to overcome decompression sickness, but now it has a wide range of applications. Because HBOT increases perfusion, increases oxygenation in all body tissues, and decreases swelling, it is used rather commonly for wound healing and as an off-label use for strokes, brain injury, cerebral palsy, and vascular disease. In autistic children, it is believed that HBOT helps to reduce inflammation, increase perfusion to the brain, and may alleviate oxidative stress in some cases. Some physicians, including Jeff Bradstreet, M.D." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Probiotics need not be restricted to food applications or oral delivery. • A definition of probiotics should not limit the mechanism of action. • Probiotics must be alive. Although it was recognized that dead cells may have health benefits, the consultants suggested that a different term be used for dead cells to reflect to the consumer that probiotics are alive. Bifidobacteria in the intestines decrease with age, increasing our risk of colon disease." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "GBF is a prebiotic whose unique characteristics make it highly suitable for applications in irritable bowel disease. GBF is converted in the body by probiotics of the Eubacterium and Bifidobacterium genus into butyrate, which causes anti-inflammtory effects in the intestines and accelerates intestinal epithelial cell growth, i.e., helps the intestinal lining heal quickly._^_ Prebiotics may also offer some help for people with Crohn's disease. Prebiotics help feed probiotics in the intestintal tract, improving their numbers." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"If you are overweight, it is best to avoid abdominal or thigh applications, as absorption will be poor. In that case, I recommend oral progesterone first. Remember, if your symptoms are not improving or you are not sure you are absorbing the progesterone after checking a level and increasing your dose, switch to oral progesterone. Fine-Tuning Normally the regimen I just described works really well, and your cycle will be restored and regulated." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)
