"EVALUATION A few decades ago, authors wrote books about famous doctors. We don't do that. Today, it is common for books about medicine to tell patients' stories, particularly ones with bad endings. We don't do that either. It is also popular these days to write about problems with our health care system, particularly about medicine's high cost, or inequalities in health care delivery—reducing individual physicians "to bits of flotsam on a great economic current," sniffed one editor of a prominent scholarly journal." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"A number of popular books (such as Sugar Blues by William Duffy, Hope for Hypoglycemia by Broda Barnes, and Sweet and Dangerous by John Yudkin) fueled this public interest. In these books, the dangers of too much sugar in the diet were clearly spelled out. Yet since those books were published, the per capita of sugar consumption has risen dramatically. The average American now consumes more than 100 pounds of sucrose and 40 pounds of corn syrup each year. This sugar addiction probably plays a major role in the high prevalence of poor health and chronic disease in the United States." - Michael T. Murray, Beat Diabetes Naturally: The Best Foods, Herbs, Supplements, and Lifestyle Strategies to Optimize Your Diabetes Care (Get the book.)

"Once treatment began, I tied flies whenever I felt up to it and immersed myself in the books, studying techniques for the barrel roll cast and for how to land a five-pound brookie. On days when I couldn't raise my head from the pillow, I simply looked forward to the next time I could get my hands on those books." For the eight-week treatment period, whenever Terry felt fear, loneliness, and hostility begin to take over, she dove straight into her bedside version of Centrality." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"And: It's a fact that there's a demand for new books teaching sustainable living. And: It's a fact that I've already practiced a green lifestyle for 25 years. And: It's a fact that I'm already teaching other people about this informally. Then it makes sense that: My work makes a meaningful contribution to my life and the world, my work is valuable, and my family wants me to be happy and supports me in my choices. And I have all that I need to bring my dream to life. This template is a blueprint to organize your beliefs into statements that are true for you and can't be dispelled." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"As it says in Devarim (Deuteronomy), one of the five books of the Torah, you can choose life or death. Which culture do you choose to live in? Aside from pancreas problems with diabetes, there is usually significant weakness in the adrenals. In my clinical experience, there are almost ten times more problems with adrenals when people are on a high-sugar diet. Hypothyroidism is also a common tendency. Hypogonadism, i.e., low testosterone, in men is not unusual and there are herbs to improve that condition." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"There are many books and tapes on how to practice mindfulness (see the Suggested Reading List), and with practice, preferably daily, you can have a significant positive impact on your glucose levels. Mindfulness meditation is the practice of focusing your awareness on each moment; that is, your goal is to live each moment fully, which includes learning to accept and live with diabetes more completely. To get ready to meditate, find a place where you will not be interrupted for at least ten or fifteen minutes. Sit on a chair or on the floor with your back straight, or lie down." - 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.) "Yoga also can be learned from tapes, DVDs, and books, although we recommend participating in individual or group yoga sessions at least in the beginning so you can learn the basics with a professional instructor. As always, talk to your doctor before beginning any new exercise program. Mindfulness Meditation More and more, meditation is gaining acceptance as an effective stress-management technique and is increasingly being recommended by enlightened (no pun intended) mainstream physicians. The benefits are many, and the downsides are virtually nonexistent." - 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.)

"Turn to the resources section for my recommendations on infant-massage and Reiki books. Teething Tools I know that teething can be painful for babies, but don't fall prey to the temptation to buy your child a plastic teething toy. Plastics containing PVCs, phthalates, and other toxins are the very last things I would want my child putting into his mouth! Instead, I recommend an amber teething necklace, which you can purchase at Nova Natural Toys and Crafts (www.novanatural.com)." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "You can also find cherrywood rattles, amber teething necklaces, wooden picture books, and mobiles. Wyatt still has the Nils Holgersson book and mobile hanging in his bedroom. We found most of Wyatt's other favorite toys at North Star Toys (www.northstartoys.com). North Star is a fantastic family-run business that makes all their toys by hand. Everything is wooden, nontoxic, and beautiful. Wyatt loved the wooden farm set, the wooden magic wands, and their brilliant wooden puzzles." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Ornish's program, featured in books and widely publicized in the media, also includes a low-fat vegetarian diet, moderate regular exercise, yoga, smoke cessation, and participation in professionally supervised support group sessions.

"We have proven that intensive lifestyle modification alone can dramatically improve patients with moderate to severe disease without costly operations or a lifetime of cholesterol-lowering drugs." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"He launched on a discourse about the Harry Potter books, dissecting their plots and analyzing the characters. Boy, that Kyle, he sure could talk! That was the last time I saw Kyle Olson. I think of him often. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2006 Eric took Kyle, along with one of Kyle's best buddies, to play golf for the first time. It was one of those beautifully crisp Wisconsin days when the air itself seems to sparkle like a dust made of diamonds. Kyle shot a 77 on nine holes, and felt very good about it. Eric had shot only a slightly better score the first time he had played." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"So the old word observer simply has to be crossed off the books, and we must put in the new word participator."2 In other words, the discoveries reveal that we are active contributors to everything that we see in the world around us, precisely as the spiritual traditions of the past have said that we are. In light of such discoveries, we now find ourselves at a curious crossroads where we must sort out which of our beliefs about the world are true, which ones aren't, what works, and what doesn't." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"She hadn't read a novel in four years-just books about autism, one after another, every night when Kyle was in bed. They weren't even very helpful, except for one by Karyn Seroussi, the mother of an autistic child. Most of the rest just seemed to revolve around the theme of, "How Not to Go Crazy When Your Kid's Autistic." After about an hour of Kyle hiding behind her, Elizabeth took his hand and trudged home. Kyle was droopy with disappointment. This was the third day in a row he'd lost that prize. Elizabeth was crestfallen, too." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "She stopped looking at her books and started to chew on them. Her babbling ceased and she didn't seem to hear anyone. The formula she was drinking began to give her a mottled, scarlet rash, and when they switched her to soy, her reaction to it was so violent that even a drop of it on her skin made her blister and peel." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "As the moment for the procedure approached, Ron sat with Hugo in his hospital room, read him books, held him, and hid his own fear. Hugo and Ron were exceptionally close. During the first few weeks after Hugo's birth, Ron played a large role in caring for him and immediately discovered that he liked everything about parenting-even the diapers and sleepless nights. His life had a new kind of love in it." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"The sacred books of Persia, Egypt, India, China, and others also refer to the healing power of honey. The Koran speaks of it as an excellent medicine and wholesome food. Mohammed proclaimed, "Honey is a remedy for all diseases." The Egyptian papyri cited the value of honey not only as a food but especially as a medicine. It was used internally for many ailments and externally in medical dressings for ulcers, burns, and skin diseases." - Richard Melvin Lucas, Miracle Medicine Herbs (Reward books) (Get the book.) "Reading books, writing letters, playing cards or chess, or working crossword puzzles are examples. The stimulation of new experiences, social contacts, a part-time job, or volunteer work can also help. 117 Two Main Types of Senile Dementia According to medical experts, there are two main forms of senile dementia. One is a condition of intellectual impairment resulting from strokes or arterial disease. In some types of atherosclerotic dementia, the arteries of the brain become narrowed, restricting the blood flow and damaging brain tissues." - Richard Melvin Lucas, Miracle Medicine Herbs (Reward books) (Get the book.) "Centuries ago it was cited in various herb books as a treatment for abscesses, blood and skin disorders, catarrh, and other ailments. Scientist K. Lund Aagaard of Denmark reported that tests on thousands of volunteers have shown that propolis totally or partially cures bacterial and viral infections of the eyes, mouth, throat, nose, and intestines as well as stomach complaints and numerous skin diseases. Studies by other scientists have also reported many remarkable healing effects with its use. Herbalism is rapidly returning to public favor." - Richard Melvin Lucas, Miracle Medicine Herbs (Reward books) (Get the book.)

"In the Bible and the sacred books of Hinduism there are mentions of cultured dairy products being eaten. Other cultured dairy products, such as kefir and koumiss, originated many centuries ago. Kefir, derived from the Turkish word keif, which loosely translated means "good feeling," originated in the northern Caucasus mountains in Russia. Koumiss, a fermented alcoholic beverage prepared from milk, was known to the Scythians (7th century BC), according to the famous Greek historian, Herodotus." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "Superbugs Superbugs are not caped, crime-fighting bacteria found in comic books. They are antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are causing havoc in todays medical system. Why? Because antibiotics cannot kill these superbugs. Antibiotic-resistant infections kill as many as 8,000 patients each year in Canada and cost the health-care system at least $100 million annually. In the United States the figures are even higher at 99,000 deaths each year due to antibiotic-resistant infections." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"There are plenty of books and videos on exercise to guide you. Personal trainers can help you set up an individualized program. Just start doing something. Chapter 11 Defusing Stress Every stress leaves an indelible scar, and the organism pays for its survival after a stressful situation by becoming a little older. —Hans Selye, M.D. How Emotion Kills: Dr. Sinatra's Personal Story When I was thirteen, my paternal grandmother died. She had a massive stroke and passed away the following day. I felt so sad, and I remember asking my father what had caused her stroke." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"I also found visualization techniques helpful during my pregnancy; there are many books on guided imagery available, including Staying Well with Guided Imagery by Belleruth Naparstek. Meditation, again, is an incredibly helpful way to control your stress levels during pregnancy. Calming Your Anxious Mind: How Mindfulness and Compassion Can Free You from Anxiety Fear, and Panic by Jeffrey Brantley is a wonderful resource for women committed to bringing down their anxiety levels during pregnancy." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"One need look no further than the titles of some of the most popular Alzheimer's books and articles to see the pervasive reach of this metaphor: The Loss of Self by Donna Cohen and Carl Eisdorfer; Losing My Mind: An Intimate Look at Life with Alzheimer's by Thomas DeBag-gio; Death in Slow Motion: A Memoir of a Daughter, Her Mother, and the Beast Called Alzheimer's by Eleanor Cooney. The usage of these metaphors by the authors is quite understandable. Dementia does alter identity." - 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.)

"Nelson also examined log books and audio recordings of group members made at the time. Many of the fifty attendees had remarked upon the discussion as a special shared moment. Without knowing of the outcome of the REG machine, one member had reported that a change in the group's energy had been almost palpable.* With his own Esalen study, Nelson discovered that the most riveting moment of the meeting had also produced a strong deviation from randomness in the data. ' The results were intriguing, but the idea needed to be tested further, in all sorts of venues." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "In the studies, conducted over four years between 1985 and 1989, arid painstakingly recorded in the laboratory books of Elisabeth Davenas, Benveniste's team created high dilutions of the anti-IgE by pouring one-tenth of the previous solution into the next tube and filling it up by adding nine parts of a standard solvent. Each dilution was then vigorously shaken (or succussed, as it is technically known), as it is in homeopathic preparations." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "Ed began devouring books about religious experiences, Eastern thought, and the little scientific evidence that existed on the nature of consciousness. He launched early studies with a number of scientists in Stanford; he set up the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a non-profit organization whose role was to fund this type of research; he began amassing scientific studies of consciousness into a book. Before long, it was all' he could think of and talk about, and what had turned into an obsession tore his marriage apart." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)
