"The problem for women is some combination of discrimination and ignorance, the latter because presenting symptoms fot females are more varied and less predictable than they are for men. For African Americans, one can only conclude that an unacceptable discrimination is at the heart of these problems. It is all too obvious that emergency services do not work as well for women and blacks as they do for men and whites. CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE Critical care is a new medical specialty. The first hospital coronary care units were introduced in thel960s." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Look, I'm not saying vaccines should be eliminated—just that we should use a little more discrimination than we are at the moment. Eventually, it's possible that new techniques of genetic engineering, by being able to totally isolate the offending antigen, may be able to offer a safer form of vaccine. But until that day... 'Before 1990, doctors were not legally obligated to report adverse reactions to vaccines to the Center for Disease Control; and, even with the current legal obligation, it's estimated that only 10% of doctots report the damage they see to the CDC." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Absorbance spectra, localization, and discrimination from other yellow pigments in primate retinas. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 25, 660-673. 141. Junghans, A., Sies, H, and Stahl, W. (2001).

(2000)." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Individuals who are obese are also adversely impacted by social bias and discrimination [18-20]. The economic burden of obesity is sizable because of its impact on individual health, costs to society due to lost productivity, and premature mortality and treatment costs [21-28]. In the year 2000, the total (direct and indirect) cost attributable to obesity was estimated at $117 billion [29]. Pediatric obesity is increasingly concurrently associated with significant health problems." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"She was lesbian and had grown up with a lot of discrimination from her prominent Midwestern family. At college, she started to come out of the closet, pierced her body, and clothed herself in garb that said, "I don't belong here." She also discovered she was a luminous writer and a moderately good musician, but life after college involved working one mid-level clerical job after another. Under regression, this client experienced herself as a world famous rock and roll star. It was pure fantasy, but the effect of it was empowering. It encouraged her to come out publicly as a DJ at raves." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"This is the process known to Hindu and Buddhist philosophy as viveka, "discrimination." The archetypes to be discovered and assimilated are precisely those that have inspired, throughout the annals of human culture, the basic images of ritual, mythology, and vision. These 18 "Forms or images o?a collective nature which occur practically all over the earth as constituents of myths and at the same time as autochthonous, individual products of unconscious origin" (C. G. Jung, Psychology and Religion [Collected Works, vol. 11; New York and London, 1958], par. 88. Orig. written in English 1937." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"Such discrimination is not the rule. Druss et al. (2003) discusses the implications for patient care of the growing trend to seek care from both physician and nonphysician providers simultaneously. Astin (1998) published the complementary national survey suggesting that the effectiveness relates to the "therapeutic envelope" ?the beliefs shared by the purveyor of the treatment act and the recipient." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Panax Ginseng Extract Improves the Performance of Aged Fischer 344 Rats in Radial Maze Task but Not in Operant Brightness discrimination Task. Nitta H; etal. Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1995 September, 18(9):1286-1288.

"In high school, Tony also became increasingly angry, not at the usual adolescent frustrations but at what he perceived to be an unjust world full of discrimination and prejudice. Rallying around every underdog at school and lashing out at adult authority figures, he wasn't afraid to go up against anyone or anything in the name of justice. He may have been popular with his peers but he certainly wasn't with school officials. His defiance got him expelled twice." - 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.) "In one way or another, we'll all be victims of social conditions, disease, discrimination, or family genetics, and at the receiving end of greed, revenge, and mean-spiritedness. But these realities are different from lowering ourselves into a state of perpetual victimhood. If you choose to frame yourself up as a victim, either in your own mind or in the way you represent yourself to others, you're creating an emotional wound that can transform into a physical one." - 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.)

"They suffer salary discrimination, they are not considered for promotions, and they are exempt entirely from certain areas of employment. Fat people also suffer in the area of relationships. Taking all of these things into consideration, you might want to ask yourself if being fat is really worth the illusion of safety that it provides." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"The rationale for now choosing students less capable in science is explained as an attempt at "gender, racial, and ethnic" balance, ostensibly to make up for supposed prior discrimination. But simply put, that claim of "prior discrimination" against women, for instance, is not true. For some time there has been absolutely no discrimination against women seeking to become doctors. In 1960, for instance, 7 percent of all applicants to medical school were women. And acceptances? The very same 7 percent. There was no discrimination." - Martin L. Cross, The Medical Racket (Get the book.)

"Or the regularity with which equality (among Christians, anyway) is invoked as a way to eliminate dozens of forms of discrimination?between manumitted slaves and freemen, for example, or between men and women. Before the publication of the Insitututes, Roman women were severely restricted in owning property, were prohibited from inheriting, and were subject to lifetime guardianship. Either because of the imposing example of Theodora, or out of a core belief in equality, the Codex proved to be one of the largest leaps ever in the liberation of women." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"By saying that the observer, the process of observation, and the observed are "intellectually conceived components," Maharishi is emphasizing that they are products of intellectual discrimination, rather than phenomena with absolute existence. Maharishi uses "intellect" to mean that faculty within the mind that draws distinctions. The intellect discriminates a knower, process of knowing, and known, when the reality is undifferentiated pure consciousness. In Maharishi's explanation, there is no difficulty as long as the intellect does not get lost in its own discriminations." - Hari Sharma, Freedom from Disease: How to Control Free Radicals, a Major Cause of Aging and Disease (Get the book.)

"Judgment in the sense of discrimination is most important. But to judge another person's worth as a human being is never justified. We may like or dislike their appearance, personality, or beliefs, but this has no bearing on their value as a being. We have no right to make such judgments. No person has any greater or lesser value than any other person. Not only are such judgments not justified; they are not very helpful. They keep us from seeing the other person in the present moment. Instead, we see them through the eyes of the past and through our concerns for the future." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"Moreover, "the dreaming mind often shows very poor discrimination by identifying unfamiliar dream people, or things, with familiar and somewhat similar physical reality counterparts." He explains: In 1974, I had a lucid dream that led to my personal discovery of this tendency, which I called "the substitution phenomenon." Lucid dreamers have experienced at least one blatant example of the "sub- stitution phenomenon," when they realized while dreaming that they had mistakenly identified (substituted) dream reality as physical reality." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"And Pfizer is a company famous for such discrimination, which I think is a sign of an insecure management, in fear of losing power. Just like nepotism should be kept at bay in any well managed enterprise, so should any discrimination. When I returned to my home in New Jersey and talked to my wife about the situation, we rapidly agreed we preferred the security and stability of my staying with the company, if possible. We had moved about eight times over the last ten years. The last thing we wanted to do was to move again. Then again, we realized, the whole issue could be moot." - Peter Rost, The Whistleblower: Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman (Get the book.)

"You need to develop discrimination and free your ability to think creatively for yourself, to think about truth and degrees, rather than pronouncements and absolutes. These abilities come as the result of a lot of wrestling with Harriet. You need to have ongoing, multilevel dialogues with her in order to see your problems in perspective and to empower yourself to do something other than accepting a first-round verdict without sifting through the evidence and granting yourself proper appeals." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"On the other hand, some hold that while a serious illness calls for great diligence, discrimination and direction with every morsel of food entering the body, it should not be 100% raw initially. Nutritionist Natalia Rose feels that "cleansing foods can release too much waste matter into the bloodstream and elimina-tive organs" and that those organs may not be strong enough to keep up with the increased load. A condition of severe autointoxication could result as the toxins cycle through the bloodstream (The Raw Food Detox Diet, p. 46)." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Betty Jean sought help from a well-respected community activist and friend, Ausur Afrika, because of his diligence in assisting with work against discrimination and unfair conditions in the community. Afrika regularly held meetings for the area's Black Chamber of Commerce, which he had helped to found, at a local bookstore, Harambe—its name an eastern African word referring to the tribal custom of all pulling together to help one another in times of need. Afrika was ready to help." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"You take a person with a mental illness, you then reduce the discrimination and stigma against them, increase their social roles and participation, which provides them a reason to get better in the first place, and then you provide treatment and support. The issue is not so much making them normal but helping them to get their lives back." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"As the effective flavonoid concentrations employed in pharmacological studies utilizing cell cultures are often orders of magnitude higher than the serum concentrations seen in humans, some discrimination is required when interpreting these reports. Further, as flavonoids often mimic endogenous mammalian receptor ligands (Ciolino et al, 1999; Hunter et al, 1999; Virgili et al, 2004) or interfere with the uptake of substrates not found in plants, the applicability of such studies to plant models requires caution." - Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.) "An important advantage of some CID MS/MS systems is the possibility of discrimination between C-6 and C-8 flavonoid glycosides. There are several reports showing that the differentiation of both isomers is possible on the basis of the relative intensities of the fragment ions obtained after CID fragmentation of the [M+H]+ ions (Becchi and Fraisse, 1989; Li et al, 1992; Waridel et al, 2001; Bylka et al, 2002; Cuyckens and Claeys, 2004)." - Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.)

"For African Americans, one can only conclude that an unacceptable discrimination is at the heart of these problems. It is all too obvious that emergency services do not work as well for women and blacks as they do for men and whites. CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE Critical care is a new medical specialty. The first hospital coronary care units were introduced in thel960s. The Society for Critical Care Medicine was founded in 1970, yet it was not until 1980 that physicians could be certified in critical care medicine." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Just like nepotism should be kept at bay in any well managed enterprise, so should any discrimination. When I returned to my home in New Jersey and talked to my wife about the situation, we rapidly agreed we preferred the security and stability of my staying with the company, if possible. We had moved about eight times over the last ten years. The last thing we wanted to do was to move again. Then again, we realized, the whole issue could be moot. It would probably be months before we even knew whether I would have a job. We had two small boys, one of them only a year old, the other six." - Peter Rost, The Whistleblower: Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman (Get the book.)

"It is also likely that non-white "foreigners" living in The Netherlands would have experienced greater levels of discrimination and mistreatment than the European adoptees, who constituted 14.2% of the nonbiological group, but only 2.7% of the biological sibs.5 It therefore is likely that siblings with the same biological heritage (and more similar appearance) would be treated more similarly by parents and the social environment." - Jay Joseph, The Missing Gene: Psychiatry, Heredity, and the Fruitless Search for Genes (Get the book.)

"Federal law also prohibits discrimination on the basis of political affiliation. But journalists and news anchors were still very surprised that I didn't get fired. It was as if everyone had forgotten that we live in a democracy with freedom of speech and other basic rights. Pfizer could have chosen to fire me regardless—and take the fight when I filed a civil suit, but they chose not to do that. There was something Pfizer might have been really nervous about." - Peter Rost, The Whistleblower: Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman (Get the book.)

"Hence, when figures 7 and 9 are paired blindly, and figures 8 and 10 are paired blindly, and subjects are asked simply to indicate which figure in each pair has more of a fern pattern, the discrimination is universal-figures 7 and 8 clearly have more fern patterns than figures 9 and 10. Ideally, future research can employ computer analyses of digitized micrographs using pattern recognition and expert systems to precisely quantify degrees of fern pattern and complexity. This is especially important to measure the kinds of phenomena and ptedic-tions outlined below." - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)

"A 1988 study of the gender climate in medical school found that 80% of women students reported discrimination by faculty and other physicians, with faculty displaying subtle to blatant sexism.43 Another recent study at a Midwest medical school indicated that gender discrimination increased in intensity as the women moved closer to graduation and licensing.43 The types of discrimination reported included sexual remarks, jokes and innuendoes relegating women into stereotyped roles, sexual advances by married mentors, and blatant sexual manipulation." - Michael T. Murray, ND, Textbook of Natural Medicine 2nd Edition Volume 1 (Get the book.)

"Reich's department "found EPA guilty of falsifying employment records, discrimination, and retaliation against an employee whisdeblower. The DOL granted Marcus the largest compensatory damage award ever upheld under the federal environmental employee protection statutes. Stephen M. Kohn, chairperson of the National Whisdeblower Center and Marcus's attorney, said, 'It's the most significant case to date for an environmental whisdeblower within the EPA. The precedent is equally applicable to all federal employees.'" "I've been vindicated," said Marcus, then an eighteen-year veteran at EPA.
