"Vitamin C, at one to two grams daily during the course of a cold, can, in many cases, reduce the number of days a cold lasts. Taking an aspirin or two right at the very beginning of cold symptoms may help abort the cold; aspirin has immune-boosting activity and inhibits brady-kinin, a substance that helps sustain colds. You might also try 50 mg of zinc picolinate or zinc gluconate lozenges at the first hint of a cold and then take 25 mg of zinc every two hours until the symptoms abate." - Sheldon Saul Hendler, The Doctor's Vitamin and Mineral Encyclopedia (Get the book.)

"He has studied risk factors of the common cold and has found that stressful personal relationships make a person significandy more likely to get a cold. Bad relationships are as much a causal factor for the common cold as vitamin C deficiency and poor sleep.32 There is also a convincing literature that psychotherapy, which managed-care companies in their penny-pinching myopia have been so loathe to pay for, saves a lot of money in the long run." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Whole grain hot cereals are less processed than cold cereals and come up with better nutritional scores. They can be soaked in water overnight so you do not have to cook them in the morning. For example, if you throw some rolled oats in a covered container with raisins and water, it will be soft and ready to eat the next morning, either cold or quickly warmed. Some recommended hot whole grain cereals are non-instant oatmeal, Roman Meal, Steel Cut Oats, Wheatena, Ralston High Fiber and Quaker Multigrain." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.) "Many whole grain cold cereals are so processed that they do not have a significant fiber per serving ratio and have lost most of their nutritional value. The more coarsely ground grains are absorbed into the bloodstream more slowly and therefore curtail appetite better. Whole grain hot cereals are less processed than cold cereals and come up with better nutritional scores. They can be soaked in water overnight so you do not have to cook them in the morning." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"The vitamin C levels inside leukocytes can be reduced to half during a cold, but the level returns to the original level about a week after the episode. Vitamin C supplementation in high doses of six grams daily has been found to greatly reduce the decline of vitamin C in leukocytes caused by colds. Vitamin C levels are also depleted by stress, smoking, and alcoholism. Vitamin C and Disease Prevention Good general advice for disease prevention is to eat at least five servings of fresh fruit and vegetables daily." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"In Kimbrell's conception of "cold evil," communities and cultures are obliterated not by maniacal dictators but by what he calls the cold-evil ideologies of objectification (or quantification), efficiency, and competition. The struggle to find meaning and purpose in the era of cold evil is no less difficult than in those eras of satanic villainy. There are many ways in which we can find meaning and purpose in our lives. Sometimes the most powerful public activism doesn't feel large, political, or controversial. A small act can have a great impact on increased community." - Bruce E. Levine, Surviving America's Depression Epidemic: How to Find Morale, Energy, and Community in a World Gone Crazy (Get the book.)

"For example, in one study Selye subjected rats to prolonged cold. After five weeks of cold, these animals—having developed resistance—could withstand even colder temperatures than rats that had been kept at room temperature. The third stage, exhaustion, occurs when the body's ability to adapt runs out. After several months of cold, the rats lost their resistance and became less tolerant of the cold than ordinary rats. At this point they were very prone to sickness and death." - Robert Ornstein, David Sobel, The Healing Brain: Breakthrough Discoveries About How the Brain Keeps Us Healthy (Get the book.)

"One study found that even an 80-milligram daily dose can reduce the duration and severity of a cold. In a recent test of ascorbic acid's effects on colds, college men were given either 2 grams of vitamin C daily or placebos. Then they were exposed to other students who had already come down with colds. Six of those who got vitamin C caught colds, while seven of those who got placebos became infected. The men who had taken vitamin C had cold symptoms that were judged to be two times less severe than those who had taken placebo." - Sheldon Saul Hendler, The Doctor's Vitamin and Mineral Encyclopedia (Get the book.)

"That would flood Western Europe with frigid waters, creating winters of Siberian cold over England and much of the continent. While Europe is threatened with a colder climate, most of the planet will be subjected to rising temperatures. If nothing decisive is done to deflect the warming trend, the damage to the Amazon rain forest, already apparent, will become irreversible. There will be widespread destruction of coral reefs, the alpine flora of Europe and Australia will disappear, and there will be severe losses of China's broad-leaved forests." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"They were so confident in their preparation, and so attuned to how exercise helped them focus, that they were comfortable splashing around a cold pool right before an important exam. How many high school kids do you know who would do that? How many adults do you know who would do that? "When we showed up for the test, we were cold and wet," recalls Jessie. "We walked into the classroom, and we were the only ones who were awake. We ended up doing pretty well." They both scored 1400 out of a possible 1600 — top-notch results." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"Of those, 7 percent reported having a minor illness such as a cold. Scrutiny of the data revealed that those reporting a cold tended to have a lower total and HDL level. The average total cholesterol for those with colds was 195, compared to 201 for those in good health. HDLs for persons with colds averaged 51, while those without colds scored 52. Recent myocardial infarctions, or heart attacks, lower cholesterol levels. Dr. Basil Rifkind points out that this variation played a role in the resistance of doctors at first to recognizing the importance of cholesterol levels in heart disease." - Robert E. Kowalski, The 8-Week Cholesterol Cure: How to Lower Your Blood Cholesterol by Up to 40 Percent Without Drugs or Deprivation (Get the book.)

"Albert Einstein CHAPTER 1 Mutable Matter Few places in the galaxy are as cold as the helium-dilution refrigerator in Tom Rosenbaum's lab. Temperatures in the refrigerator—a room-sized circular apparatus with a number of cylinders—can descend to a few thousandths of a degree above absolute zero, almost -459 °F, three thousand times colder than the farthest reaches of outer space. For two days, liquid nitrogen and helium circulate around the refrigerator, and then three pumps constantly blasting out gaseous helium take the temperature down to the final rung." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"What you are achieving with the transition from hot to cold is a movement of lymphatic fluid and blood to the surface of the skin with heat, then toward the center of the body with cold, back again to the surface with heat, and so on. The way to do this at home is in the shower. Stand in the hot water for 5-8 minutes until you are nice and warm, and have rinsed off. Then begin to crank the water back toward cool for about one minute, then to hot for one minute, and so forth about seven times, ending on cool water." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"A New Definition of Hot and cold Foods It helps to look at foods as either "hot" pro-inflammatory or "cold" antiinflammatory. Hot foods set the stage for the burning pain of inflammation, whereas cold foods reduce inflammation. "hot" pro-inflammatory foods Most vegetable oils French fries Fried chicken and fish Margarine Most salad dressings Breads and other bakery products Many packaged microwave foods Fast-food meals Beverages with sugars "cold" anti-inflammatory foods Olive oil Fish, particularly cold-water species Fresh vegetables Low-sugar fruits (e.g." - Jack Challem, The Inflammation Syndrome: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies, and Asthma (Get the book.)

"Biofeedback is particularly useful to treat Raynaud's disease, a vascular condition in which blood vessels are constricted when exposed to cold, causing extremities to grow cold, pale, and even blue.43 During a biofeedback treatment, a patient is hooked up to a computer. Transducers applied to different parts of his or her body send information to a visual display, which registers activities of the autonomic nervous system, such as brain waves, blood pressure and heart rate, or muscle contractions." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"The days will be hot, the nights cold, disease will be rampant and chastity nonexistent. Tempests will sweep over the earth, and toward the conclusion of the period these will increase. In the end all life, human and animal, and all the vegetable seeds, will be forced to seek shelter in the Ganges, in miserable caves, and in the sea. The descending series will terminate and the "ascending" series (utsarpini) begin, when the tempest and desolation will have reached the point of the unendurable." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) "No tribal rite has yet been recorded which attempts to keep winter from descending; on the contrary: the rites all prepare the community to endure, together with the rest of nature, the season of the terrible cold. And in the spring, the rites do not seek to compel nature to pour forth immediately corn, beans, and squash for the lean community; on the contrary: the rites dedicate the whole people to the work of nature's season. The wonderful cycle of the year, with its hardships and periods of joy, is celebrated, and delineated, and represented as continued in the life-round of the human group." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) "The little warrior, embarrassed or perhaps overwhelmed by such a display of womanhood, averted his eyes, at which moment he was seized by the men and soused into a vat of cold water. The staves and hoops of the vessel flew asunder. A second vat boiled. The third became only very hot. Thus Cuchulainn was subdued, and the city saved.16 "A beautiful boy indeed was that: seven toes to each foot Cuchulainn had, and to either hand as many fingers; his eyes were 16 Book of Leinster, 64B-67B (Stokes and Windisch, op. cit., pp." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"When my divorce from Tad became final last month, I went right out to cold Stone Creamery. I know I eat to avoid emotions." Using food to deal with emotions as Linda did is called emotional eating. A study I conducted of 17,000 failed dieters showed that virtually all of them relapsed because of emotional issues, mostly related to self-esteem or emotional hurt. They were doing really well on their diets, and then their husband started having an affair, or they lost their job, or a parent got sick. Perhaps you had a similar kind of thing trip up your diet efforts in the past." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "You're alone, floating in some alien, empty, cold space, without a tether to the familiar or the reliable. That's the hollow, empty experience. What keeps this emptiness alive is not what happened in your infancy, though; it's what keeps on happening because of the conclusion that you've come to. That conclusion is that you cannot trust anybody to really be there for you, so you can't let anybody really fill you up with the warmth of a human relationship. You keep yourself empty in the following way." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"The Unconquerable Infection Before both of us began a low-carbohydrate diet, we were ill fairly often with various conditions—one cold after another, or a cold following a bout of flu. Often a simple head cold would migrate into the lungs and bronchitis would develop. After adopting the program, all this changed. Now we hardly have any infections at all, or they are short-lived. However, some people experience a strange feeling, like they have a cold, but there is no infection and they don't necessarily feel ill." - Christian B. Allan and Wolfgang Lutz, Life Without Bread (Get the book.)

"Enzyme therapy can support the functioning of the immune system and even introduce protease into the bloodstream to help attack the cold virus. Enzymes can also support the absorption of nutrients to improve overall health and help reduce the excess mucus being produced by the body." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"If going cold turkey is impossible for you, have just a pinch of stevia or an artificial sweetener in your beverages. þDesperate for a "beige" food? Have a low-carb tortilla by La Tortilla Factory or Santa Fe Tortilla Factory. þEat a high protein/low-carb bar for dessert. þScoop out the inside of half a bagel and fill it with lox and capers or a tablespoon of nut butter. þEnjoy a small square of greater than 70% cocoa dark chocolate.

"In fact, the expression "it's a three-dog night" refers to the ability of canines to warm up your bed on a cold night. Do you remember why carnivores sleep all of the time? To drop their abnormally high metabolic rate, caused by the breakdown of animal protein. If you eat meat, you'll generate heat. Here's another reason generating heat is bad: advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which result from heat's bonding sugar to protein (which we'll discuss more later). Think of them this way: If you want a really crusty steak, you turn up the flame; the higher the heat, the crispier the meat." - 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.) "My English friends remind me that cold cereal didn't even make it to the British Isles until the Yanks brought it with them during World War II. Since we've been eating this new stuff, is anybody getting healthier? Almost all the patients on whom I've performed heart surgery used to have cereal for breakfast, 80 percent of them with a "healthy" banana and "healthy" skim milk. Instead, enjoy eggs-they won't kill you, unlike cereal and other grain-based foods-and open your mind to other choices, such as protein smoothies or even soup or leftovers of last night's dinner." - Dr. Steven R.

"Another inadequacy that Kane lists is that the Standard Model cannot account for cold, dark matter—a type of matter that scientists believe makes up at least a quarter of the material universe but cannot be directly observed because it does not emit or reflect electromagnetic energy. No known particles in the particle zoo of the Standard Model can account for this matter. Worse, the Standard Model cannot explain fundamental aspects of the big bang theory, the predominant theory of the creation of the universe." - Peter h.
