"The Wallaces' Farmer ad at top left alleges that the quality of the magazine is more important than the circulation and claims that quality will ensure high circulation. The Country Gentleman and other journals are more concerned that the advertisers know that the size of the circulation is large so that they will reach the most customers. From Agricultural Advertising, 1903. In fact, only small amounts of poison are regularly used on dogs and ferrets like the ones in this ad. Contact Marshall Europe for more information." - Will Allen, The War on Bugs (Get the book.)

"In 2002 the medical journal of the American Heart Association,* circulation, published an article that reviewed the important studies on coronary heart disease prevention through diet and lifestyle interventions. The article concluded that by following the recommendations that emerge from the scientific evidence, "coronary heart disease can be eliminated to a large extent" among people less than 70 years of age." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"When William Harvey discovered the circulation of blood, medicine and society could finally cast off the intellectual constraints of Galen. Vital humors were not amenable to testing, but science could contend with phenomena that were concrete, even measurable, such as Harvey's discovery. The workings of the body were open to study. The mind-body relationship was a different matter. Even the greatest philosopher-scientists and philosopher-physicians of the day could not cast off the abstraction of a "soul," or its cogitating handmaiden, a "mind." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"So even if Procopius's instincts as a historian prevented him from inventing libels against Antonina and Theodora, the temptation to publish those that were already in wide circulation would have been very real, indeed. In the event, the Secret History reveals at least as much about its author, and his world, as it does the targets of his vitriol. Whether Theodora had reason to be jealous of Amalasontha may, in the end, be as irrelevant as the truth about Antonina's fidelity." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Some of these B vitamins can also be made by friendly bacteria in a healthy colon and absorbed into circulation. Metabolism Catabolism = Breaking down of components Anabolism = Building up of components CATABOLISM AND ANABOLISM The primary role of the B vitamins is catalyzing energy production in the body. One side of metabolism is catabolism. Catabolism is the breaking down of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, often to produce energy, as shown in Figure 1-1. The other side of metabolism is anabolism." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) "Vitamin E helps circulation by: (a) Protecting LDL from oxidation. (b) Increasing capillary flexibility. (c) Decreasing blood coagulation. (d) All of the above. 5. Vitamin E supplements, to be effective, should be: (a) Taken between meals. (b) Taken with meals. (c) Taken one half-hour before meals. (d) Taken before bedtime. 6. Good food sources of vitamin E are: (a) Cold-pressed oils. (b) Fruit. (c) Enriched flour products. (d) French fries. 7. Natural vitamin E is: (a) SRR-alpha-tocopherol. (b) All-rac-alpha-tocopherol. (c) RRR-alpha-tocopherol. (d) Dl-alpha-tocopherol. 8." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"The human pulse and blood pressure, body temperature and blood clotting, circulation of lymphocytes, hormonal cycles, and other functions of the human body all appear to ebb and flow according to some basic, recurring timetable. These rhythms are not unique to humans, but are present throughout nature, and evident even in fossils of single-cell organisms that existed millions of years ago. Initially Halberg believed that the master switch for these biological rhythms was located in certain cells of the brain or adrenal glands." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"So if we are eating a lot of meat, we have more of these bacteria and we have more estrogen returning to circulation. "Another thing that raises estrogen levels is constipation. If food is in the intestinal tract longer, there is more time for these bacteria to work on the estrogen and recirculate it into the bloodstream. Not only does low fiber cause constipation, but fiber finds the estrogen and drags it out of the body." There are nutritional ways to reduce estrogen levels. "A woman can effectively lower the active estrogen in her body by consuming ground flaxseeds," Dr. Debe says. " - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Improving circulation can help to eliminate toxins in the body and break up congestion or blockages resulting from the accumulation of excess mucus, uric acid, lactic acid, calcium deposits. It enhances the flow of blood, helps to relieve pain and discomfort, and activates the release of endorphins. It's a natural opiate, like substances normally produced in the brain that alter and regulate moods. Mainly, it helps to promote a sense of inner peace, tranquility and well being." "There are more than 7,000 nerves in each foot," Norman says.

"A loss of oxygen during birth can affect the blood circulation system, resulting in migraines later on. The anoxia is accompanied by helplessness 147 in the primal imprint so that in a current situation that is fairly helpless, the person will develop a migraine; that is, the current helplessness will resonate with that of birth so that the blood circulation system will again be affected (massive dilation and then vasoconstriction). All this happens on an unconscious level, making the symptom and its appearance a mystery. To save itself, the baby's system slows down and goes lifeless." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.)

"Healthy joints and better circulation are additional benefits shown with the use of systemic enzymes, and Dr. Michael Schedler, writing in the Doctors' Prescription for Healthy Living, hails them as an anti-aging remedy. Systemic enzymes are "very likely the most important all-around natural anti-aging medicine available to American consumers today," asserted Dr. Schedler, citing their immune-enhancing and anti-inflammatory abilities as a key to reducing sclerosis and fibrosis, "recognized to be among the main culprits of premature aging in Americans today." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Again, if circulation is restricted, the cell or organ slowly suffocates in its own waste. And finally, blood carries immune cells and pH balancers into every part of your body. Exercise literally drives your blood through your body, forcing oxygen and nutrition into every nook and cranny. Lymph Back in Chapter 3, we talked about how your lymph is your body's sewer system, removing dead cells, waste, toxic matter, heavy metals, bacteria, etc. from body tissue. Unfortunately, the lymph system has no pump of its own." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Each of the panelists had been required to file conflict-of-interest statements with the AHA, but no conflicts were reported in the American Heart Association's guidelines published in circulation. In a 2002 article published in the British Medical Journal, investigative journalist Jeanne Lenzer reported that the American Heart Association "will not release the conflict of interest statements for public inspection and verification." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Nor did it reference the Italian study in circulation showing the dramatic benefits of exercise in a similar population of patients. There is another effective and inexpensive tool to help these patients that was overlooked: smoking cessation. Eighty percent of the patients in the defibrillator study were either "current or former smokers." How many of those patients were still smoking? The NEJM article does not tell us, but we do know from a review article in the Archives of Internal Medicine that smoking cessation after heart attack is associated with 1." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Bjerknes's hypothesis began with the assumption that the normal sea surface temperature gradient between the relatively cold eastern equatorial Pacific and the huge pool of warm water in the western Pacific as far west as Indonesia causes a huge east-west circulation cell on about the plane of the equator. Dry air sinks gently over the cold eastern Pacific. Then it flows westward along the equator as part of the southeast trade wind system. The western "push" that drives this movement comes from atmospheric pressure that is higher in the east and lower in the west." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "A decrease of 1 percent in the radiation output of the sun would be enough to lower global average temperatures by one or two degrees Celsius, causing continental sea ice and snow cover to expand, with resulting changes in atmosphere and ocean circulation patterns. For instance, sunspot activity was exceptionally low from 1715 to 1845, one of the coldest spells of the Little Ice Age. Could the sun's brightness and energy output have diminished enough to cause a global temperature drop? Unfortunately, no one knows exactly how solar variability affects climatic change." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "The trade wind flow that forms the lower branch of the Walker circulation weakens. However, a weaker east-west pressure gradient has to accompany the reduced trade winds. Such changes required pressure changes between the eastern and equatorial Pacific to act like a seesaw—precisely what happens with the Southern Oscillation. The Bjerknes hypothesis, published in 1969, forged the final link between El Nino episodes and the Southern Oscillation. The great meteorologist described a highly complex set of interactions making up the El Nino-Southern Oscillation connection, known commonly as ENSO." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "Atmospheric circulation changes far from the Maya homeland delivered the coup de grace to rulers no longer able to control their own destinies because they had exhausted their environmental options in an endless quest for power and prestige. The survivors of the disaster did what the Anasazi Indians of the American Southwest did two centuries later during another catastrophic drought. They dispersed into small, self-sustaining villages where their descendants live to this day. CHAPTER NINE The Ancient Ones Survival, I know how this way. This way, I know. It rains." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Only three years before the NEJM study, circulation, the journal of the American Heart Association, published an article in which a group of Italian researchers looked at the effects of exercise training on a similar group of people with weakened hearts. This study randomized patients to receive either exercise training three times a week for eight weeks and then twice a week for one year, or to be in the control group and receive no exercise training." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"It is necessary for most all functions in the body, including digestion, absorption, and circulation. Water helps detoxify the kidneys, helps dilute toxins, and is imperative for transporting nutrients in and waste out of our cells. Seventy-five percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (This likely applies to half the world population.) In 37 percent of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. Even mild dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3 percent. Lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "Chapter 7 Summary Exercise imparts numerous benefits, including helping to detoxify the body through increased circulation, deep breathing, sweating, and stimulating the lymphatic system. The role of the lymphatic system is to gather toxins. It's important to find an activity that you like and that gets your body moving. It can be moderate and if you have not exercised in a while you can begin with low-impact walking. Start slowly and increase gradually. Exercise is cumulative, so you don't have to do it all at once." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"It also has antihypertensive effects and may reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke by supporting healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, increasing circulation and reducing heart rate. Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties have also been attributed to this herb. HISTORY In the early 1970s, at the behest of President Richard Nixon, the National Cancer Institute began studying the active constituents of cat's claw bark and root." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Alexander's perspective on the genesis of psychosomatic disorders thus came to consist of two claims: (1) there is a specific relationship between chronic repressed emotional conflicts and specific diseases; but (2) disease itself is not caused directly by the repressed emotions, but rather by the fact that chronic repression of different specific emotions has the effect of chronically stimulating or activating different specific vegetative organs in one's body—the heart, lungs, circulation, gut, and more—until they finally begin to malfunction." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"His neuropathy disappeared, which I hypothesize is secondary to fibrosis in the nerve trunks, or poor circulation due to inflammation. His kidneys began to function again. We hypothesize that the inflammation and subsequent scarring in the kidneys decreased through use of the proteolytic enzymes as his only new supplement. His creatinine, an indicator of kidney function, went to normal. These two cases suggest an interesting theoretical way to understand the disease process in Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The results were quite clear: those suffering from artery disease and thus impaired circulation in the brain performed less well on the tests than did those whose arteries were clean. Age made no difference. Arterial health was the variable that counted. This should come as no surprise. Clogged arteries serving the brain and clogged arteries serving the heart are part and parcel of the same disease. The cause is the same: a buildup of fat and cholesterol and lethal damage to the delicate endothelial lining of the blood vessels." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "In June 2005, researchers who conducted a meta-analysis of 2,950 cases of coronary artery disease reported in the journal circulation that in patients with chronic, stable disease, intervention "does not offer any benefit in terms of death, myocardial infarction or the need for subsequent revascularization compared with conservative medical treatment."4 And a year later, Dr. Richard Kra-suski of the Cleveland Clinic's top-rated cardiology department said flatly that aggressive treatment of patients with stable angina is generally unwarranted. " - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "The results, shown in Figures 8, 9, 10, and n (see insert), confirm the ability of plant-based nutrition, in conjunction with cholesterol-reducing medication, to reperfuse— restore blood flow to—the heart muscle previously deprived of adequate circulation. I emphasize that this is not a case of the development of collaterals, naturally occurring bypasses, which take months or years to appear." - Caldwell B.

"Through the sun door the circulation of energy is continuous. God descends and man ascends through it. "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in 48 Alice C. Fletcher, The Hako: A Pawnee Ceremony (Twenty-second Annual Report, Bureau of American Ethnology, part 2; Washington, 1904), pp. 243-244. "At the creation of the world," a Pawnee high priest said to Miss Fletcher, in explanation of the divinities honored in the ceremony, "it was arranged that there should be lesser powers." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"They are also healthier than most, except perhaps for the fact that Becky has Raynaud's disease, a quite mild autoimmune disorder that causes her fingers to turn white and cold from lack of circulation. But Raynaud's does not affect her except when she's exposed to sudden changes in temperature or to emotional stress. Selena, like nearly a fifth of her preschool class, has eczema and food allergies (dairy and tree nuts), but other than that, the Sandlers are all quite healthy." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"These pressure levels, both systolic and diastolic, need to be balanced: high enough for optimum circulation, but not so high that excess wear and tear of the cardiovascular system occurs. Although the ability of coenzyme Q10 to decrease blood pressure in experimental animal models was observed as early as 1972, it was not until 1977 that Yamagami et al. documented that actual coenzyme Qio deficiencies in hypertensive patients exist, and that coenzyme Q10 administration of 1-2 mg/kg/day resulted in lower blood pressure." - Stephen T.
