"On the last pages, I read something I'd highlighted earlier: The commercial revolution is coming to Nicoya, and the growing availability and prestige of commercial products are creating a new demand for money which can be obtained only by producing crops or manufactured goods for sale. The small subsistence farmer, fully occupied with the task of securing a bare livelihood, possesses neither the land necessary for growing commercial crops, the time to tend them, nor the capital to finance the technological improvements essential for successful commercial production . . ." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Incidentally, no commercial manufacturer "brews to the moon" because it takes too long (30 days). Instead, virtually all commercial manufacturers use a 3 or 4-day brewing process. But recently, a remarkable discovery was made. While brainstorming one day 'The standardized commercial versions found in most stores, including health food stores. with Ron Manwarren, the President of Royal Botanicals, I hit upon the actual principle behind "moon phase brewing." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"The growth of expensive, hospital-based medical care attracted commercial indemnity insurance companies. By the mid-1950s, commercial insurers had more clients than the Blues; by 1980, 80 percent of Americans had private commercial health insurance. Initially, the commercial insurers ran a high profit margin. As costs increased, they simply passed them on to their clients by increasing the premiums. As long as they could raise their rates, commercial insurers had no incentive to control health care costs." - Leo Galland, Power Healing: Use the New Integrated Medicine to Cure Yourself (Get the book.)

"The small subsistence farmer, fully occupied with the task of securing a bare livelihood, possesses neither the land necessary for growing commercial crops, the time to tend them, nor the capital to finance the technological improvements essential for successful commercial production . . . Little attention has been paid to the possibilities of extending the cultivation of the crops of the Nicoyan garden, which require little land and slight care and yield abundantly . . ." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

High-Energy, Ultta-Potent tinctures and exttacts High-Energy, Ultra-Potent Certainly, the quality of the herbs used in a tincture (a highly concentrated liquid herbal formulation) is fundamental to its effectiveness, but it is by no means the only factor. How a tincture is made is of equal importance. It has been known for centuries that if you time the "brewing" of a tinctute to the phases of the moon, the resulting tincture is stronger." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Radin also figured it might have something to do with the number of commercial breaks continually chopping up the game, especially as the advertisements shown during Superbowl have become as popular as the game itself. It was sometimes difficult to distinguish times of high interest from times of low interest and the results showed it. In his other study of primetime TV, Radin had assumed that both the machines and human observers would peak in the key moments of any show and dribble off at the end, when commercials are usually shown. This is exactly what happened." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Our concern here is more with the other category, the volatile organic compounds, which are made up of carbon molecules. The commercial uses of volatile compounds break down into three major classes: formaldehyde, organic solvents and pesticides. "Formaldehyde is present in many, many commercial products. It is present in new homes in the building materials, paneling, floors, and ceilings made of plywood or particle board. It's also present in the carpets, fixtures and furnishings. The bad thing about formaldehyde in a building is that it is very slow to dissipate." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Make barbecued spareribs without gobs of commercial sauce loaded with salt, sugar, butter, and vinegar; instead, use a spicy sauce of pineapple juice or honey, citrus, and chili pepper. ?Replace corn chips with potato chips cooked in expeller-pressed canola oil with very little sodium. ?Choose dark chocolate over milk chocolate. ?Eat natural, unsalted nut butter or freshly ground peanuts instead of commercial peanut butter. ?Make chili with lean, ground round (or turkey breast), fewer beans, and no-salt-added canned tomatoes. Top with cilantro and guacamole instead of cheese." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"The various commercial brands have a wide variety of tastes. Rice milk is similar to soy milk, and is appropriate for people who react to both soy and dairy. It is available at most supermarkets and all health food stores. It tends to taste less creamy than cow's milk. ? Nut milk is somewhat less commercially available than goat's milk, soy milk, and rice milk, but various brands can be found at many health food stores. Nut milk is creamy and satisfying, but it does not taste as much like cow's milk as does goat's, soy, or rice milk. Oat milk is generally thick and rich." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"However, the FDA plans to continue its policy of withholding confidential, commercial data—that is, the sealed information necessary to determine if the companies are telling the truth about their commercial products. The savvy Wall Street Journal commented that this is "a move likely to please the drug industry."29 Unfortunately, that pleasure will come at the expense of human lives. More recently, a study commissioned by the FDA itself came out with similar conclusions to mine in March 2007." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"CHAPTER 2 Treatments for Everyday Ailments Natural Winter-Ready Therapies ABSCESSES MOUTH, CHEEK AND GUMS • Mouth Sore Brush-off Re Lesearch shows that sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), the detergent commonly found in commercial toothpastes, may dry out the lining of the mouth and gums. Without this protective layer, foods and drinks that are highly acidic can attack sensitive gums and cheeks. To protect your teeth—and your mouth—switch to a toothpaste that doesn't contain SLS." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"As part of the deal between Waksman and the company, Merck received the commercial patents on the medicine. In exchange, the company would pay a royalty to Waksman and the university. Dr. Waksman later won the Nobel Prize for his discovery and attributed part of his success to the help he received from Merck's laboratories. There, he said, he had found "a university-like atmosphere where basic research was understood and pursued." Just as Merck was getting ready to sell streptomycin, however, Dr." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) "Lilly and Eli Lilly, he said, "were not only willing, but eager and anxious, that we should conduct investigations in certain fields in which there could be no possible hope of any commercial return." The executives did not always follow through on such promises. During World War II, American drug executives twice turned down requests by the government and Dr. Alfred Newton Richards of the University of Pennsylvania that they help manufacture the antibiotic penicillin for the troops." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"In testimony before the Subcommittee on commercial and Administrative Law of the House Committee on the Judiciary (September 12, 1996), Cato Institute scholar Jerry Taylor wisely described Chevron as the pinnacle in the Court's destruction of effective judicial review of agency action: [The] line of cases [rejecting the non-delegation doctrine] culminates in Chevron . . ., in which the Court showed extraordinary deference to administrative agencies' interpretations of their own authority." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

"Some may wonder why a highly regarded scientific journal like Urology would allow its pages to be used for such blatant commercial purposes. Yet it is only one example of how even the publishers of prominent medical journals became part of the vast enterprise of marketing prescription drugs during the 1990s. Urology is published by Reed Elsevier, a global publisher of journals, books, and other information." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) "As a standard practice, the government kept such information secret, calling it confidential commercial information. Included in those secret papers were details of why FDA reviewers denied the plan. The papers described a clinical trial in which scientists had given Bextra to patients undergoing heart bypass surgery. In the experiment, patients taking Bextra and a similar pain reliever called paracoxib had "an excess of serious adverse events, including death." At the same time, the FDA had determined that Bextra was no miracle worker when it came to relieving pain." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Finally, group-based behavior modification training is used in a variety of obesity treatment formats, including university-based programs, commercial weight-management programs (e.g., Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig), and self-help programs (e.g., Take Off Pounds Sensibly, Over-eaters Anonymous). Although preliminary research indicates that group-based interventions may be equally as effective as individual interventions for a variety of problem behaviors, there has been no systematic assessment to date on the group process specifically for obesity intervention [76]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"For example, recent analysis of the Nurses' Health Study coupled with an analysis of its companion study in men, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, is the engine behind the national fear of trans-fatty acids (margarines and many commercial cooking oils). Trans-fatty acids are manufactured by a chemical process that converts vegetable oils into semisolid fats, which the wisdom of the past held to be better for you in terms of cardiovascular risk factors. Cardiovascular risk factors were trumped by the Nurses' Health Study." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Aluminum or aluminum sulfate (found in commercial deodorants and foot sprays) tighten pores, so sweat can't escape. Instead, mix a heaping teaspoon of alum (found in herb shops) with a cup of water and one-quarter cup alcohol. Store in an atomizer and spray on feet when needed. TOENAIL FUNGUS • A Unique Fungus Fighter First thought: Yuck. Second thought: What now? No one much likes to think or talk about toenail and fingernail fungus. But if you suffer through a case of this fungus related to athlete's foot, you will be wondering how to stop thinking about it." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Government officials, receiving campaign contributions from agribusiness, pass laws subsidizing only toxic commercial farming and cattle ranching practices! In other words, your tax dollars are assisting in poisoning you. Because of the higher retail cost of organic produce, the advice to go organic is often met with resistance. When most people think of organic produce, they think it simply means "pesticide-free." But there is a whole lot more at stake. Nutritional Value You might buy a pound of organic apples for $2." - Susan E.

"Classical homeopathy treats a patient with one substance at a time (many commercial remedies combine more than one substance) in an extremely diluted and extremely safe solution. Remedies commonly come in the form of small pills you dissolve under your tongue or as a tincture.

To prepare the rinse: 1 Add one tablespoon of dried sage leaf to one cup of boiled water. 2 Steep for 30 minutes, strain off leaves and let cool. If you have some antibacterial tea tree oil, you can add a few drops. 3 Pour through shampooed hair. Don't rinse. DRY, DAMAGED HAIR • Spearmint Seal for Split Ends Hair subjected to sun damage or daily blow-drying is especially susceptible to split ends. A hot cup of tea—poured into your hair—might be just what you need." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Ideally, the physician would then refer the client to a comprehensive weight-management program or obesity specialist, or recommend a commercial weight-loss program and provide follow-up care to monitor progress. If the primary care physician decides to treat the client, referrals should be made for additional services (e.g., the services of a psychologist, an exercise physiologist, or a registered dietitian [4]). Determining the appropriate treatment approach for an individual requires a careful assessment of an individual's needs [5]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J.

"Most tests I recommend in my practice are available through conventional large commercial labs such as Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp. Others are small, specialty labs that specialize in metabolic, immune, nutritional, or functional testing. There is still great controversy in conventional medical circles about the utility of these laboratory tests, but I have used them successfully for over twenty years in treating patients. I have used these tests on thousands of patients to help me navigate this new medical territory with great success." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)
