 "Calcium is stored in the bones. In emotional or physical stress, or if you lack calcium, your body draws it from the bones. This may cause osteoporosis, which means brittle bones; or osteomalacia, which is deformed bones. Dr. Cromwell points out that the body compensates for this weakening of the bones by depositing extra calcium at the joints. Excess buildup causes crippling. Adding lots of calcium to the diet, he says, removes the need for thickened joints. The excess is dissolved or reabsorbed—thus easing the condition!"- Rex Adams, Miracle Medicine Foods (Get the book.) |
 "Behind the eardrum are those three little bones that you learned about in high school and probably forgot—the anvil, hammer, and stirrup. Because the eardrum is translucent (transparent with light), the bones behind the eardrum can be seen with the otoscope.
The eardrum senses vibrations created by sound and transmits these vibrations to the three little bones. The bones then transmit that sense of sound to nerves that relay the information to the brain. The area behind the eardrum that contains the three bones is called the middle ear."- Paul A. Offit, M.D.m Bonnie Fass-Offit, M.D. and Louis M. Bell, M.D., Breaking the Antibiotic Habit: A Parent's Guide to Coughs, Colds, Ear Infections, and Sore Throats (Get the book.) |
 "Her mouth had been wired shut for about six weeks while the bones healed, and she'd eaten only liquids during that time. Afterward, the wires were removed, and she did have a beautifully symmetrical face with accentuated cheekbones, and the overbite was gone. Looking at a photograph that my office mate had of her friend's daughter, I personally could see little difference between the before- and after-surgery images.
Having lost weight from weeks of being on a liquid diet, this beautiful young woman began to notice that her body no longer had the V shape that it had before the surgery."- Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.) |
 "Research suggests that the higher amounts of protein create an acidity that forces the bones to give up calcium to neutralize the acidity.
The high phosphorus content in meat actually pulls calcium from the bones. In essence, from the perspective of health and diabetes in particular, animal flesh sourced protein—fish included—is inferior to vegetable protein as a quality protein source. This undisputed scientific fact is confirmed by the China Study by T Colin Campbell and the epidemiological evidence of 6,500 Chinese across 65 provinces."- Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) |
 "When men don't get adequate amounts of dietary calcium, their bodies meet their calcium needs by stealing the mineral from their bones. This weakens the bones over time and contributes to the development of osteoporosis. Although most people think of calcium deficiency as a woman's problem, of the 25 million Americans with osteoporosis, one in five is a man. The percentage rises as age increases, so that after the age of seventy-five, 50 percent of those affected are men."- C. W. Randolph, M.D., From Belly Fat to Belly FLAT: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life (Get the book.) |
 "And exercise figures into the equation as well since it's the weight-bearing exercise that stimulates bones to use those multiple nutrients to build, rebuild, repair, and preserve strong and healthy bones.
In the SuperFoodsRx Diet, synergy again is key to effectiveness but in this instance it's the synergy of all of the SuperFoods that you'll be eating together that will help you feel and look better than ever and of course lose weight. Your goal is a healthy, whole-foods diet that emphasizes the SuperFoods.
This synergy of SuperFoods eaten together and regularly is important."- Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.) |
 "We find huge old
wagons on the side of the road, from a circus or something, which had bones of elephants and/or lions, etc. I go with the group—realize that I dream, but don't know if they realize it—a sort of virtual reality field trip. I talk with the leaders and they respond. I see [Harvey Grady], and tell him to give me a collect call on waking up to WPR (waking physical reality), if he recalls this dream, and to let me know if he really does participate in a WPR tour at this time. [Harvey] looks like he just shaved off his beard."- Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) |
 "Phosphorus, again mostly in bones and teeth, makes up about 1.5 per cent of body weight and the total body content of this mineral is replaced every three years.
Of the other major minerals, iron forms only 0.006 per cent of the body yet is critical for life as it is contained in the haemoglobin of the red blood cells. Other vital minerals are sodium and potassium. Trace elements such as chromium, cobalt, copper, fluorine, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, sulphur and zinc are present in the body in smaller quantities but are still needed in minute amounts."- Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) |
 "As I jot down some observations, a car hits me—not fast enough to break any bones, but enough to shake me up. Feeling light-headed, I leave with a backpack full of mangoes, salaks, santols, rambutans, jambus and mangosteens.
By now, the sun is about to rise and the market is slowing down. A motorcycle taxi offers me a lift home. We drive so fast the helmet levitates inches above my head, barely tethered by the cord around my chin. Traffic lights don't seem to matter or make any sense. Neon signs blur into LCD cuneiforms."- Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
| "As the physical body is composed of various organs, muscles, bones, and fluids all working together and supported by complex cellular and chemical interactions, so too may the contents of the mind be composed of a large variety of psychological structures all interacting and supported by the processing of ideas, information, experiences, and emotions, occasionally embodied as dream figures. Behind all of this psychological complexity, from the simplest thought-form to the most aware dream figure, lies the synthesis of that composite: not the waking self, but the more comprehensive inner Self." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) |
| "After clearing away the bowls of bones, Ta asks me to follow her into the woods nearby. She brings me to a bush full of ripe specimens of a purple blackberry-type fruit covered in what appears to be crystallized fructose. It looks exactly like the gummy Jujube candies I used to eat as a child. Perhaps the candy's designer copied it, or maybe its shape has somehow been lodged in our collective unconscious from ancient times. I pluck one, and peer at its glistening sugar-frosted surface. The moist, meaty sections open up to reveal a blood-red raspberry jam interior." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "When Ta brings out a platter of chicken bones, fish ligaments, meat jerkies and other air-dried meats, I'm pretty certain that I don't want to taste any of it. They tear into the food with almost exaggerated pleasure. Kiawe holds a dried chicken out toward me. 'Will it give me a 'cleansing reaction'?" I ask, politely declining his offer. The prospect of getting ill—sorry, cleansed—on an isolated Thai island isn't high on my list of priorities. "It might give you a cleansing reaction," answers Kiawe, unhelpfully. "He's nervous," says Ta. "He should be," says Kiawe." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman. —Genesis, 2:23 My last day in Southeast Asia is spent touring a Rayong fruit garden filled with Edward Scissorhands-like topiaries. Am, my lanky, twentysomething guide from the Tourism Authority of Thailand, is telling me how she used to filch a sour berry called the takob from neighbors' trees. "Stealing fruit so much good," she says, grinning. We pause under the shade of a rambutan tree, next to a hedge shaped like a monkey eating a banana." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
 "It's good for bones, and is also known to have calming effects in some children.
In the ARI parent rating systems, calcium scored as follows:
Symptoms improved: 36 percent No discernible effect: 62 percent Symptoms worsened: 2 percent
If you give your child calcium in the form of calcium carbonate (from eggshells or coral), it's good to also give them some in a more soluble form, such as calcium citrate or calcium ascorbate."- Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) |
 "RED CURRANTS: The leaves have been used to relieve pain from arthritic symptoms, sprains, and dislocated bones. The fruit has been used as a laxative. It has also been used to prevent scurvy. Red currants have also been made into facial masks for firm skin.
Throw Me a Lifesaver!
CANCER: One study found that black currant juice stopped the growth of tumors in mice.
BLOOD PRESSURE: Currant seed oil was given to a group with mildly high blood pressure. Scientists attribute their significant decline in blood pressure to the gamma-linoleic acid found in the berry."- David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) |
 "The bones show bright white on the X-ray against the dark shadows of his lungs, the image indistinct and hazy.
"Does he have pneumothorax?" demands Baker. This is a condition in which air leaks from the lungs into the chest cavity, where it can compress the lungs and make breathing difficult. Pneumothorax is relatively easy to treat, and even though the man has a DNR order, his emergency doctor would undoubtedly insert a chest tube to correct the condition and spare him the anxiety of being unable to breathe. None of the residents or medical students raises a hand."- Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "Brittle bones break more easily, and a hip fracture in a frail, elderly woman often leads to a host of complications that signal impending death. Fosamax, the best-selling antiosteoporosis drug on the market, works by attaching to bone cells and preventing calcium loss, and doctors prescribe it to younger women with osteopenia in the hopes of preventing fractures down the road. But there's not a single study to show that starting early makes any difference. In fact, one study of Fosamax found that women with osteopenia who took it suffered more fractures, not fewer." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
| "Remarkable success has been achieved with magneton therapy to relieve painful muscular disorders and disease involving the nerves, skin, blood vessels and bones.
An explanation of how magneton therapy works is that because blood contains iron ions in its haemoglobin, the iron in the blood will be attracted to magnetic fields, and hence magnetic fields applied to the body will rapidly increase blood flow and circulation. The magneton therefore allows faster restoration of normal body functions and healing processes." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) |
| "But as I felt her skin, her bones, her muscles, seeking some imperfection that would clearly indicate her status in the dream state as either equivalent to
mine or just a thought-form, I realized my senses had a record of unreliability. Formulating the dreaded question, "All thought-forms must now . . ."—she was gone before I could say "disappear."
I have tried this same announcement?All thought-forms must now disappear"—in a number of lucid dreams. Occasionally, all the dream figures disappear, but sometimes they don't." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) |
 "We saw that Energetic Integrator 3 dealt with the bones of your spinal column, and we see the spine again in Energetic Integrator 5, only this time the focus is on the spinal nerves. Integrator 5 is sometimes called the Chiropractic Integrator because it communicates bioenergetically with your vertebra and discs via your spinal nerves. Balance is controlled, bioenergetically speaking, via this Integrator through its connection to the cerebellum and cochlear nerve."- Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) |
| "They are involved in turning the food we eat into energy,- they help build up specific parts of the body, especially the red blood cells, enzymes and fatty acids,- they play an important role in growth of bones, teeth, blood vessels, and maintaining these (plus the skin and mucous membranes of the body) in good health.
Some vitamins have antioxidant roles, which means they protect vulnerable fatty acids from being destroyed by free radicals in the body. Free radicals are formed by oxidation processes (natural chemical reactions) and by radiation." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) |
 "While good for your cardiovascular system and overall health, aerobic exercises such as biking and swimming do not strengthen the bones. If you can incorporate both forms of exercise into your routine, good for you! If not, and you are heading toward menopause or are menopausal, focus on strength training; it does give you some aerobic benefits."- J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "Lasix also increases calcium excretion in the urine, which leads to thinning of the bones and risk of fracture. For these reasons, thiazide diuretics should be used before Lasix or Bumex for the treatment of hypertension, unless there is fluid retention and a failure of kidney function. Because the risk of potassium deficiency is so great with diuretics, the pharmaceutical companies saw a new market in "potassium-sparing diuretics." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "The Alendronate Phase III and the FIT (both with and without past fracture) showed no benefit of medication on fractures of bones, like the wrist or collarbone, that are outside the vertebra; these are collectively called nonvertebral fractures. These are more serious than vertebral fractures but don't necessarily lead to lasting disability. Alendronate Phase II, FIT (without past fracture), FOSIT, and VERT showed no benefit for the more important hip fractures, which, as I mentioned before, can lead to lasting disability." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "When you get older, however, osteoblast activity declines, so your bones get thinner. Popular osteoporosis medications get between the bone and the osteoclast to prevent the osteoclast from breaking down bone and thus increase bone mineral density. But what doctors and drug makers often don't tell you is that the medications used to treat osteoporosis (see pages 219-226) increase the laying down of calcium on the outer, cortical bone, which is more densely packed." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) |
 "Water maintains the body's equilibrium and temperature, lubricates tissues, dilutes the concentration of poisons in the body, flushes wastes and toxins, hydrates the skin, and acts as a shock absorber for joints, bones, and muscles. Water is a very powerful healing force. Normal physical activity can use at least three quarts (2.84 liters) of replacement water each day. Strenuous activity, a hot climate, or a high table salt diet increases this requirement.
When the body gets enough water it is able to work efficiently."- Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "The body is then forced to move to its backup buffer system, which requires the withdrawal of calcium from its bones.7 If the body is forced to continue this backup buffer process due to a lack of sufficient alkaline foods in the diet, serious bone loss can result. According to Dr. M. T. Morter: Anyone who eats more than 47 grams of protein a day—no matter what the source of the protein—will eventually develop osteoporosis.8 Although calcium and its supplement forms can act as effective acid buffers, calcium is not meant to do this on a permanent basis." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "As the body's reserves of acid buffer minerals are depleted, it turns to the use of calcium from the bones as a neutralizer. If fed a diet that is deficient in adequate nutrition and loaded with toxic substances, the body simply is unable to eliminate the toxins and clean out metabolic wastes properly. As health problems arise, if drugs are taken to eliminate symptoms, their toxicity actually adds to the problem. The natural cleansing process of the body is suppressed and it is forced to degenerate toward more chronic disease." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "In contrast, 100% of the cats fed overcooked or treated food and milk suffered an increasing degeneration of their bones, teeth, and reproductive ability. Their disease conditions continued to increase. Figure 5.2 briefly summarizes the results of the study. Observations from the deficient diet cats include: Spontaneous abortion ranged from an average of 25% in the first generation to about 70% in the second generation." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) |
| "However, only about 10 percent of these cells make up the solid aspects of your body, such as your bones and tissues. Approximately 40 percent make up the nonsolid parts of you, such as your blood and lymphatic fluids. You have about 30 trillion red blood cells and 500 million white blood cells circulating through your body. Your lymph system is crowded as well, as it contains roughly one trillion lymphocytes and other immune cells. The other half of the cells in your body are bacterial cells, most of which are beneficial and inhabit your digestive system." - Peter h.
