"My most successful patient volunteers, meaning those who permanently change their body and blood chemistry, do so by evolving to a diet that is at least 60 percent raw food. Should you eat mainly raw? That's your decision. Again, do what you can, with what you have, wherever you are. In a typical day, I might eat the following meals: Breakfast A green smoothie made from organic fresh or frozen vegetables that I alternate every few days, using rice, hemp, or whey protein powder, combined with a cup of frozen berries, a whole small apple, flaxseeds, and some cinnamon." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"Do we really want our lives, especially as we get older, to revolve around the latest findings from our blood chemistry or biopsy? Should we not instead seek the Joie de vivrel UNNECESSARY OR NECESSARY? "I've been thinking," said Fran, as she kneaded bread dough. "We've been reading about the term 'unnecessary surgery.'" But what does it really mean? How is it decided what is 'unnecessary'"? The question is not a new one. At the beginning of the twentieth century, "unnecessary surgery" was defined as criminal behavior." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Allopathic medicine recognizes this in its testing by denoting certain normal ranges for things, such as aspects of blood chemistry. The body has flexibility. It can handle fluctuations within certain parameters. Your cholesterol level should be below 200, so 175 is in the safe range, as is 183 and 167. It is not necessary to detect the one right answer when dealing with many of the parameters of the body, for the body at the systems level often doesn't need a single correct answer. The same is true of nature at large." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"But another word has come in from the medical community: Garlic taken together with blood thinners or cholesterol-lowering drugs may alter blood chemistry too much. This doesn't mean you can't cook with garlic or order the roasted garlic appetizer in a restaurant, but if are taking either of these types of medications you should check with a doctor before using garlic medicinally." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"While many factors besides food increase our risk of heart disease—including smoking, chronic stress, and an inactive lifestyle—a healthy diet's effect on both our blood chemistry and vascular system can help decrease our risk." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "Together, they've demonstrated more power to improve blood chemistry than they do alone. Pairing garlic with fish for synergistic benefits . . . now, that I can wrap my head around. One group of researchers from the University of Guelph in Ontario tested the combination of garlic (900 milligrams a day) with fish oil supplements (12 grams) and each alone in 50 men with moderately high blood cholesterol. They concluded that taking in garlic with fish oil favorably lowered triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"In a book I wrote called Solve the Riddle of Illness, I explain why upwards of 40 percent of the population may have subclinical hypothyroidism and not detect it by the traditional blood chemistry work that's done at their general practitioner's office. The symptoms of low thyroid include weakness, dry coarse skin, slow speech, coarse hair, hair loss, weight gain, difficulty breathing, problems with menstruation, nervousness, heart palpitations, brittle nails, and severe chronic fatigue and depression." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "By rebalancing that system, you can frequently help a person improve their overall life energy; then you work on the individual glands and organs and blood chemistry. I measure fatigue backwards, in increments. You felt tired, but you didn't have the flu and you were not sore in your muscles or joints. You had intermittent fatigue: more energy in the morning, less in the evening or afternoon. You go to exercise or you want to stay up a little later and go dancing, but you just don't have any energy. You wake up and just don't seem to be rested no matter how much sleep you get." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "I had a full blood chemistry done. I tested for every virus, bacteria, parasite, hepatitis, everything. My blood was clean as clean can be. I had to ask why I had no energy when I stressed myself in competition. I realized that there is something that medicine does not talk about, science does not look at. I had looked in the Western model first, being a scientist, wanting to see if I had a virus or blood sugar imbalance. No, everything was normal. What I found I was deficient in at that point was the essential chi energy. The chi energy is life force energy." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Gary Even when you rest and the muscles are recovered and the blood chemistry is normal, liver enzyme is normal, everything is normal, it's possible that that vital energy still isn't completely balanced. That takes time, you cannot rush that. People who are working on things they really enjoy spend an inordinate amount of energy working—not just physical but emotional energy, spiritual energy?and that is not in and of itself depleting. I remember some friends who were building themselves a home and they would have friends up for work weekends. We would all chip in and help them." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"The training also seemed to affect their blood chemistry, increasing their levels of beta-endorphin, another "feelgood" brain chemical. Biofeedback, combined with work on their self-image, eventually eliminated much of their dysfunctional behavior and transformed them into better people.54 Joe Kamiya, a psychologist at the University of Chicago, demonstrated the amazing specificity of brain-wave biofeedback through some remarkable brain research." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program involves green juice fasting to most rapidly bring your blood sugar, HgbAlc, and other blood chemistry levels into a healthy physiological range. The program also includes eating the joyful world cuisine and learning how to prepare it, as described in this chapter." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "The third is a report on eating microwaved food, showing that eating microwaved food changes blood chemistry. Titled "Comparative Study of Food Prepared Conventionally and in the Microwave Oven," published by Raum and Zelt in 1992, at 3(2):43, it states: One short-term study found significant and disturbing changes in the blood of individuals consuming microwaved milk and vegetables. Eight volunteers ate various combinations of the same foods cooked different ways. All foods that were processed through the microwave ovens caused changes in the blood of the volunteers." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Most people also see their blood chemistry, cholesterol, and C-reac-tive protein return to normal on the 21-Day+ Program. As a scientist, I share in this book a theory that with the live foods and green juice fasting one is rapidly turning on the anti-aging and antidiabetic genes. This has yet to be proven conclusively. But then again, it took thirty years to prove that smoking causes lung cancer. The second part of that belief is that, as a scientist, I realize we do not have enough controlled data to make a definitive statement about this program and its theory." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Basic blood chemistry. • Liver function. Kidney function. • Electrolytes (including C02 levels). Calcium levels. • Magnesium levels. • Blood sugar. • Lipids. • Cholesterol. • Triglycerides. Thyroid function (including T3, T4, and TSH). As you can see, even these very basic tests can be confusing to people outside the medical profession. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that you consult with a doctor. The Healing Program is, for the most part, administered at home, under the direct supervision of parents, working in partnership with their doctors." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Invariably, every patient with out-of-range initial readings shows blood chemistry normalizing, often after a healing crisis. If bodily reserves are adequate and time allows, a patient may fast to complete normalization on all parameters. If reserves are inadequate, refeeding commences with periods of detoxification, healing and body chemistry balancing taking place while feeding on nontoxic live food meals and/or drinks until reserves are built up. While blood tests are seldom required at other alternative health care facilities, guests/patients can request them." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "Similar results of blood chemistry normalizing, with the health seekers going through healing crises that end in normalizing (whether fasting or living strictly on the clean raw diet) are virtually universal in all cases. Without the costly blood tests, we can only surmise that body chemistry is normalizing in ourselves too when we undertake to detox, whether it is during an at-home or in-clinic fast or by the slower route of eating raw foods and strict application of the ten energy enhancers. I recently asked Dr." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"The food plan that is presented is designed to change your blood chemistry and improve your neurotransmitter function. Even though it may seem obvious and simple, the foods in this plan create profound physical and emotional change. Don't be deceived by the simplicity. This is powerful medicine. Seven Steps to Feeling Great Here are the seven steps that will free you from the Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde syndrome: 1. Keeping a food journal 2. Eating three meals a day at regular intervals 3. Taking vitamins as recommended 4. Eating the recommended amount of protein at each meal 5." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"The almost constant secretion of stress hormones, which are highly toxic compounds in and of themselves, eventually alters the blood chemistry and causes damage to the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems. Future defense responses are weakened, and the body becomes more prone to infections and other ailments, including cell mutation. The boost in energy experienced after drinking a cup of coffee is not a direct result of the caffeine itself; rather, the immune system's attempt get rid of it provides the effect." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Other Side effects of microwave exposure include: • High blood pressure • Migraines • Dizziness • Stomach pain • Anxiety • Hair loss • Appendicitis • Cataracts • Reproductive disorders • Adrenal exhaustion • Heart disease • Memory loss • Attention disorders • Increased crankiness • Depression • Disconnected thoughts • Sleep disturbance • Brain damage Eating microwave-damaged foods can lead to a considerable stress response in the body and, thereby, alter the blood chemistry. For example, eating organic vegetables zapped by microwaves will send your cholesterol soaring." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Helpful Supplements Because of the severity of PTSD, it would be best for you to obtain a full nutritional workup, including blood chemistry and dietary analysis, from a physician. (See the appendix.) If this is not possible, try the following supplements in the order they're described. These supplements will likely reduce both anxiety and depression. Give each supplement two weeks to determine whether it is helping. B-complex vitamins. Take a high-potency B-complex (or a high-potency multivitamin) containing 50 mg of vitamins Bl, B2, and B3 and relative amounts of other B vitamins." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"Imagine how good their blood chemistry would be, the level of energy they would have on a daily basis, how healthy they would be and how long a life they would live free of chronic pain and free of chronic disease. This is the kind of life that you can achieve with nutrition. And it is exactly the life that I'm leading right now through a proven strategy of nutrition and physical exercise. So if you put all this together, you realize that the standard American diet is a diet of chronic disease and death." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Everything from our senses to our appearance to our blood chemistry has been shaped by evolutionary response to disease. Even sexual attraction has a connection to disease. Why is the scent of someone you find sexually attractive so alluring? It's often a sign that you have dissimilar immune systems, which will give your children wider immunity than either of their parents. Of course, it's not just external organisms we've evolved to manage—or that have evolved to manage us. Guess what?" - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"If you see an ad that says, "We can alter your brain chemistry and make you feel happy," or, "We can alter your blood chemistry and automatically lower your cholesterol," you know you're dealing with a biohacking mind hack. Study these 10 mind hacks, and watch out for advertising messages that base their influence on the strategies. You will find that nearly every ad in the drug, cosmetic and food and beverage industries uses at least one of these mind hacks. Here are some other tactics and tips to avoid brain spam." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Complete Blood Count as a Guide to Therapy General blood chemistry offers an overall snapshot of a person's health status. But the limitation of the test is the one-dimensional aspect of blood chemistry reporting. Traditionally, blood tests report on just a handful of the thousands of substances found in the blood, focusing on those that identify disease once it's full-blown. As a result, blood chemistry analysis in its present form is an untapped reservoir of highly detailed information." - Larry Trivieri, Jr., Alternative Medicine the Definitive Guide, Second Edition (Get the book.)

"You don't have to plan your blood chemistry changes. You don't have to will your liver to alter its production of HDL versus LDL. All you have to do is follow these healthful habits, get rid of the toxins in your foods, personal care products, and prescription drugs, and you will automatically achieve healthful results. I've seen it happen over and over again. Seek out experts who demonstrate the results you wish to achieve When it comes to issues of credibility in the area of health, I urge you to consider the sources of your information." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"What does their blood chemistry look like? What is their cholesterol level? How about their body weight? You see, as I mentioned before, most doctors who criticize my work aren't healthy people to begin with, and that's the ultimate failure of credibility in the health field. Those critics are fools, and anyone who listens to the health advice of an unhealthy Doctors tend to be great technicians and lousy healers." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)
