"This form of diabetes affects about 5 percent of those who have the disease and is currently believed to be autoimmune in nature, which means the body produces antibodies that destroy its own cells; in this case, the beta cells. The exact cause is unknown, although genetic factors, environmental influences, diet, and viruses are all being closely explored as contributing factors. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES Signs and symptoms can include the following: ?frequent urination ?excessive thirst ?increased fatigue ?unusual/unexplained weight loss ?irritability ?blurry vision ?" - 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.)

"Without warning, half of all people who have the disease die without ever knowing they had it. CVD can also silendy and slowly strangle the vitality of the most important muscle in your body—the heart muscle—which pumps life-sustaining blood and nutrients through the sixty thousand miles of blood vessels. The lining of those blood vessels becomes inflamed and can even be destroyed. Blockages develop and blood can't flow. Medical science has come a long way in its understanding of what causes these scenarios." - 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.) "Along with this breakthrough have come new tools with which to precisely diagnose risk, identify specific inflammatory markers, and effectively treat both stable and unstable arterial disease. The truth is that the body sustains a daily toxic assault and forms plaque as a result. We predict that plaque reversal will become the new buzzwords. In New Cardiology, we feel it is more important for you to know if your blood is toxic, the state of your dental health, how much insulin your diet produces, and how you handle stress." - 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.) "Translation: systemic disease. Conventional cardiology treatments are typically brought into play when a person has major narrowing of an artery to the heart or the brain. New Cardiology can be implemented for a mere 10 percent narrowing. We think people should get a full range of important tests—the standard tests and the new ones—before symptoms ever arise. We want to work with people at an early date instead of waiting until they need a bypass or multiple medications that will cause side effects." - 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.)

"If you understand and accept that premise, you are 95 percent of the way toward success in arresting your disease. Occasional exceptions, however modest, undermine results. (I must confess: on every New Year's Eve, I consume eight to ten chocolate peanut butter cups.) I am reminded of a breakfast several years ago when I was invited to speak at a conference on breast cancer. Joining me at the meal was a distinguished East Coast surgeon who was also participating in the conference. Eighteen months earlier, he had had a heart attack." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Chapter Four Body Intelligence in Action Cancer Cannot Kill You Cancer, like any other disease, is not a clearly definable phenomenon that suddenly and randomly appears in some part or parts of the body like mushrooms popping out of the ground. Cancer is rather the result of many crises of toxicity that have, as their common origin, one or more energy-depleting influences." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Just having the fear and expectation that you may have breast cancer, when you really do not, focuses your mind on disease, which is often enough to actually trigger an illness in your body. In addition, the pressure that doctors and loved ones may put on you to get the "proper treatment" can be so overwhelming that you feel you have no other choice but to go ahead with it. Feeling trapped or cornered while feeling ill physically is certainly not conducive for healing to occur." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Infant soy formula and soy milk have been linked to autoimmune-thyroid disease, and now also to death. In 2007, two parents were convicted of murder and given life sentences in prison for starving their 6-week-old baby to death by feeding it with soy milk and apple juice. Now, soy experts are again calling for clear and proper warning labels on all soy milk products—following this and several other babies' hospitalizations or deaths under similar circumstances. Only soy products, such as miso, tempeh and natto provide soy nutrients that can easily be absorbed and utilized by the body." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "This is especially the case since research has revealed that treatment of the disease has not decreased mortality rates. On the contrary, survival rates are higher in groups of men whose "treatment" consists merely of watchful waiting, compared with groups undergoing prostate surgery. In the Trans-Urethral Resection (TURP) Procedure, a 1/4-inch pipe is inserted into the penis to just below the base of the bladder, and the prostate is then fried with a hot wire loop." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Hormonal treatment for the climacteric: alleviation of symptoms and prevention of postmenopausal disease. The Lancet. 1994;343:654-658. Preventing Heart Disease CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES, especially coronary artery disease and stroke, are the leading killers of women in the U.S. As shown in Figure 6.1 taken from statistics for 1994 from the U.S. Centers for disease Control and Prevention, the number of cadiovascular disease-related deaths dwarfs all other leading causes. For many years, much more attention has been given to cardiovascular disease in men than in women." - John Morgenthaler and Jonathan V. Wright, Natural Hormone Replacement For Women Over 45 (Get the book.)

"Type 2 Diabetes in Children and Adolescents The label "adult-onset" once used to describe type 2 diabetes no longer applies, as more and more young people develop this form of the disease. The statistics are grim. In 1992, the presence of type 2 diabetes among children was uncommon, but by 1994, up to 16 percent of new cases were being diagnosed in urban pediatric centers. By 1999, that percentage had grown to between WHO HAS DIABETES? Prevalence Among U.S. Population 20 Years and Older (adjusted for population age differences) ?Men: 10.5% ?Women: 8.8% ?People 60 years or older: 20.9% ?" - 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.) "This is the term used to describe how much glucose is present in a specific amount of blood, microvascular disease: A condition in which the walls of the smallest blood vessels become abnormally thick and weak. This causes them to leak/bleed and interferes with blood flow, which in turn damages specific areas of the body, especially the eyes, kidneys, and the coverings (sheaths) of the nerves. myocardial infarction: A condition in which the blood flow to the heart muscle is interrupted because of blocked or narrowed blood vessels." - 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.)

"The larger lesson of that study is that systemic treatment of disease through aggressive reduction of cholesterol is clearly superior to selective intervention at a single site where an artery has been clogged and narrowed. And it caused considerable uproar among cardiologists. As Dr. Waters observes, "There is a tradition in cardiology that doesn't want to hear that." Why? Money! For many years, I resisted that conclusion, but the weight of the evidence is overwhelming. Interventional cardiologists earn hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, and particularly busy ones make millions." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "I once asked a young interventional cardiologist why he didn't refer his patients for a nutrition program that could arrest and reverse their disease, and he replied with a frank question: "Did you know that my billed charges last year were over five million dollars?" This has to change. The collective will and conscience of my profession is being tested as never before. Now is the time for legendary work. Those of us who practice medicine must engage in a new covenant with the public. We must never underestimate the layman's ability to adopt healthier lifestyles. We must tell the truth." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "Collectively, they had experienced forty-nine cardiovascular events, including: • Fifteen cases of increased angina • Thirteen cases of measurable disease progression • Seven cases of bypass surgery (in addition, two others in the group had had bypass surgery more than eight years before the study began) • Four heart attacks • Three strokes • Two angioplasty procedures • Two worsening stress tests Here is how they fared in my study. Cholesterol." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"DIABETES 101 Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not properly produce or use insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas. At a cellular level, insulin helps the body use the glucose circulating in the bloodstream. In the liver and skeletal muscle cells, for example, insulin encourages the production of glycogen (the storage form of glucose). Insulin also encourages fat production, which is the body's long-term storage solution for excess glucose. There are three basic forms of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "Simply put, phytochemicals are active components naturally found in plants that provide health benefits and disease protection in the human body. From my perspective, it's hard to believe how far we've come in understanding phytochemicals—in fact, 20 years ago, when I first began to study nutrition, we didn't know most of these nutrients even existed! The number of known phytochemicals in foods is now estimated at roughly 8,000, according to Cornell University food scientist Rui Hai Liu, PhD." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "Scientists have been gaining ground on this complex disease; specifically, we have a much better understanding of how cancer cells grow. In a nutshell, cancer comes down to this: DNA (the set of genetic instructions that tells body cells how to reproduce and grow) takes little punches over the years, eventually becoming so damaged that normal cell growth morphs, becoming uncontrolled and abnormal." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "These are the possible foods or food partnerships with the type of synergy that might help reduce your risk of this disease that has fast become an epidemic, striking children as well as adults." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"You see, hemochromatosis isn't an infectious disease like malaria, related to bad habits like lung cancer caused by smoking, or a viral invader like smallpox. Hemochromatosis is inherited—and the gene for it is very common in certain populations. In evolutionary terms, that means we asked for it. Remember how natural selection works. If a given genetic trait makes you stronger—especially if it makes you stronger before you have children—then you're more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass that trait on." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"How wrong they are. Afo scientific research? One of the completely false misrepresentations about my first book and this book is that there is no "scientific evidence" to back up any of the claims that natural remedies can prevent, cure, and treat disease. This is categorically false. There are thousands of studies around the world that conclusively prove that natural remedies are in fact effective. This is discussed in great detail in my first book. Let me summarize. Consider the definition of "scientific study." All studies are funded by someone." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Primitive man used music to ward off evil spirits thought to cause disease. In ancient Greece, the philosophers carried out investigations on music's effect on the body, and music was applied systematically as a curative or preventive modality. It was used to treat insomnia and as an aid to digestion during meals. The Persians and the Hebrews also employed music as therapy for a variety of illnesses, and during the Renaissance, inquiring minds investigated music's influence on breathing, blood pressure, muscular activity, and digestion." - Hari Sharma, Freedom from Disease: How to Control Free Radicals, a Major Cause of Aging and Disease (Get the book.)

"One thing is clear—an ancient medical practice that "modern" medical science dismissed out of hand is the only effective treatment for a disease that would otherwise destroy the lives of thousands of people. The lesson for medical science is a simple one—there is much more that the scientific community doesn't understand than there is that it does understand. iron is good. Iron is good. Iron is good. Well, now you know that, like just about every other good thing under the sun, when it comes to iron, it's moderation, moderation, moderation." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"PANCHAKARMA PHYSIOLOGICAL PURIFICATION Panchakarma is one of Maharishi Ayur-Ved's major approaches for both prevention and treatment of disease. On one level, panchakarma presents a new, soothing, and enlivening experience for the body to metabolize. Panchakarma includes sophisticated massages with medicated oil, heat treatments with herbalized steam, inhalation therapy to cleanse sinuses and lungs, and a variety of purgative and eliminative therapies. The experience is both relaxing and invigorating." - Hari Sharma, Freedom from Disease: How to Control Free Radicals, a Major Cause of Aging and Disease (Get the book.) "Those who work in the laboratories to come up with better cures have also felt frustrated as their labors have not produced more uniformly encouraging results. With far too many diseases, as critics have bitterly said, "The physician is the pathogen." There could be a simple solution to all of this, if only it were possible: Ideally we would be able to prevent illness before it begins. Once patients fall ill, physicians find it difficult to resist playing Russian roulette with the modern medical approaches—hoping each time that the cure will appear without the complications." - Hari Sharma, Freedom from Disease: How to Control Free Radicals, a Major Cause of Aging and Disease (Get the book.)

"Unfortunately, not only does the number of people with prediabetes continue to rise, but the problem is now becoming common among young people, corresponding with the rising number of overweight and obese children and adolescents. Piggybacking on the epidemic of prediabetes is a closely associated condition—metabolic syndrome. As we mentioned in chapter 1, it is possible to have prediabetes and not have metabolic syndrome, but the truth is that most people who have prediabetes or diabetes have characteristics that are consistent with metabolic syndrome as well." - 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.)

"The following chapters present evidence showing that CHD is largely a disease arising from, and aggravated by, nutritional deficiencies and imbalances, infectious agents, and modifiable lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity and chronic stress. To myopically focus on only one or two of these factors while neglecting the rest will yield sub-optimal results at best, and prove totally ineffective at worst. In the next chapter we will begin our CHD-fighting mission by learning about one of the greatest-yet most underrated-enemies of cardiovascular health known to mankind." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart disease is Wrong (Get the book.) "Back in 1970, McCully's research on homocysteine and artery disease had been praised by a special Scientific Advisory Committee at his place of employ, Harvard's Massachusetts General Hospital. By 1977, McCully's laboratory at the same institution had been taken away, and he lost staff support for his research. McCully was told shortly after this that his position would not be renewed in 1979. He was further informed that, unless he was unable to obtain another NIH grant, his salary would be cut to almost nothing by January 1978." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart disease is Wrong (Get the book.) "Among a sample of patients treated successfully with balloon angioplasty (a procedure used to widen narrowed arteries), those who displayed these positive characteristics were significantly less likely to experience progression of arterial disease or to require further surgery than those with a more negative outlook(6). Be Pro-Active. Those who approach life in a pro-active manner, by conducting due diligence before making important decisions, greatly reduce their chances of getting into costly, aggravating and even fatal situations." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart disease is Wrong (Get the book.)
