"Chimps and monkeys come out facing their mothers. Imagine a mother chimp squatting during delivery and the baby chimp emerging from the birth canal facing upward toward its mother and you've got a pretty good picture. The mother chimp can reach down, cradle the infant's head from behind its neck, and help with its delivery. In humans, the mother can't do that (even if she is squatting) because the baby is facing away—if she tries to assist the baby she risks bending its neck or spine the wrong way and causing serious injury." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"People facing parenthood as couples know how hard it is and often reflect with wonder on how anyone can ever do it alone. A savvy single parent, however, has long since realized that you actually can't do it all alone. You need to find and accept help where you can. If you are a single parent, start by seeking support from the school or the day care, which has a responsibility for your child's development. Guidance counselors can usually connect you to other parents facing the same problems." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"The water molecules cluster around the chloride ions with the hydrogen sides of the water molecules facing the chloride ion. On the other side of the water molecule, the oxygen atom has a slight negative charge that is attracted to the positively charged sodium ions. The water molecules cluster around the sodium ions with the oxygen sides of the water molecules facing the sodium ion. This is how water dissolves salts. Ions are charged particles. Positive ions, such as sodium ions are called cations. Negatively charged ions, such as chloride, are called anions." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"This mechanism served well for cavemen facing saber-toothed tigers, but most of the threats we face in modern life tend to be psychological and cannot be handled by fighting or fleeing. At Canada's McGill University in the 1950s, Hans Selye, the world's foremost authority on stress, demonstrated that the body reacts to modern-day stressors as though it were still facing the same physical threat as our early ancestors. Under chronic stress—for example, constant deadlines, a rocky marriage, an unfulfilling job—your body secretes excess Cortisol, a stress hormone." - 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.)

"As parents, we need to educate ourselves about one of the most serious health issues facing our children today. While ASDs share essential clinical and behavioral features, they differ dramatically in severity and age of onset. ASDs, which are frequently diagnosed within the first four years of a child's life, encompass a variety of language, behavioral, physical, and neurological symptoms. These include failure to develop normal social interaction and communication, as well as restricted, repetitive, or stereotyped behaviors and interests." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"He was, in fact, facing bankruptcy, and it wasn't long before his boss uncovered Max's grand deceptions. After his life imploded in New York, Max decamped to the West Coast, landing in Los Angeles in the early 1960s, just in time to put his lies to work once more and cash in on the California rock-and-roll scene. Soon he was managing and producing some of the biggest names in the business, and by conventional standards, he was a huge success. He had even married a woman, Danielle, whom he referred to as "the love of my life." They had a child and a new home in Beverly Hills." - 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.)

"It can transform a pessimistic outlook on life into a optimistic one that allows the person facing cancer to perceive the positive reason behind it and everything else that happens to him in life. This inner transformation no longer allows for perceiving himself as a helpless victim at the mercy of oncologists or surgeons. Healing cancer or a similar life-threatening condition is perhaps one of the most powerful and meaningful accomplishments a person can achieve in life." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "If they sacrifice and neglect their own wellbeing to avoid facing any shame, guilt, or unworthiness within themselves, they are actually cutting off the very limb they are hanging on to. They are "selflessly" devoted to please others so that, in return, they may be loved and appreciated for their contributions. This, however, serves as an unconscious acknowledgment of not loving oneself. This may lock up unresolved issues, fears, and feelings of unworthiness in the cellular memory of the organs and tissues in the body." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "After 60 years of intensive research and hundreds of billions spent on treatments for cancer that have killed thousands of patients, we are facing the collective challenge of our own survival. The only reasonable alternative to stop this fabricated monster is to learn the skills of healing ourselves. The other option will most likely bankrupt our countries, endanger our livelihoods, and lead us into the abyss of self-destruction." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "The threat could consist of any number of influences, such as food additives like Aspartame and MSG; an antibiotic or steroid drug; crossing a busy highway; the fear of facing an angry spouse or authority figure; or a profound sense of insecurity. Under the influence of the secreted stress hormones, normal cell functions are undermined. In fact, the genetic blueprint (DNA) receives distorted information that, in turn, alters the cell's genetic behavior." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"The process of excavating and facing them is all you need to begin to stop the phantom hunger created by frustrated needs. Remember, all of your legitimate needs cry out to be satisfied. When you frustrate a real need, you'll experience emotional hunger. You can create the temporary illusion that everything is all right for a while by eating, but food alone won't fulfill any need but physical hunger. Your Needs Need to Mature, Too Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "You eat to avoid facing nervousness that comes from wanting to stay under the radar while also wanting to rise above it. You eat because you're torn between the self that you've always been and the self that you have an inkling you could become if only you'd take a risk. What's so awful about the possibility of failing that you fear it with your whole being? Why rot and stagnate rather than take up a risky challenge?" - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "Erica Jong As Jess Miller's story illustrates, envy provides a special way to avoid facing challenges. You can use envy to trick yourself into ignoring opportunities. Jess put her energy into resenting Dina instead of exploring her own inability to move her career forward. She actually hid behind envy, using it as a smokescreen to obscure her own dysfunctional behavior, her lack of willingness to take chances. She felt jealous of Dina simply because she had what she wanted, what she feared going after—not because she begrudged her success." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "Obviously, facing frightening things would be the healthier choice, but it's not necessarily the easiest choice. It might, in fact, be impossible if you are "sure" you are powerless to protect yourself when things get rough. We humans tend to opt for the path of least resistance. And so, in searching for the easy way, you might have discovered somewhere along the line that you could use your own fat as a metaphoric place to hide out—a kind of substitute for Mom's skirt." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"At Canada's McGill University in the 1950s, Hans Selye, the world's foremost authority on stress, demonstrated that the body reacts to modern-day stressors as though it were still facing the same physical threat as our early ancestors. Under chronic stress—for example, constant deadlines, a rocky marriage, an unfulfilling job—your body secretes excess Cortisol, a stress hormone. Growing evidence indicates that overproduction of this and related hormones plays a major role in a wide variety of illnesses, including CVD." - 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.)

"We are each on both sides, all facing ourselves. The good news is that St. John foresees that the battle of Armageddon will be won by Christ, suggesting that our higher knowing will eventually defeat the Antichrist within. Only then does Christ's kingdom reign. This we could interpret as a world freed from the dictates of our ego-mind, a world in which a liberated mind is the norm rather than the exception, a world in which love, not fear, is the prevailing emotion. There will, at last, be peace on Earth: the inner peace we have been seeking all along. Setbacks ?" - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"By tracking these one hundred thousand children from conception to age twenty-one, the National Children's Study will be addressing one of the major problems the scientific and medical establishments are facing today: Even as we're getting better at treating these diseases, in the vast majority of cases we still don't know what's causing them. The connections between environmental exposures and childhood diseases, Dr. Phil Landrigan said, "are just beginning to appear out of the mist." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

"In an attempt to avoid dealing with the problems associated with the craving for the sweet taste of sugar, and instead of facing our sweet taste issues which are more of an acquired taste at the level of excess that is practiced in the world today, we have invented artificial sweeteners and excitotoxins. The negative health consequence of this has become more and more significant." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"This may help if you have an abscess or a wound, but if you're facing an autoimmune disease, acid excess probably feeds the inflammatory process by letting D-cells activate at will. When your body is in a state of acidosis, D-cells show a tenfold greater ability to present evidence of all kinds, so your D-cells are activating willynilly. This kind of out-of-control business probably makes you more likely to develop an autoimmune disease and for it to progress.

"Since the 1980s, the digital revolution has moved most of us from the factory floor and physical labor to the desk, where we sit facing a computer. The problems continued as our urban transformation changed our diet. As immigrants and other Americans left their farms and began living and working in cities, their diets began to change. Then the mechanization of the food industry compounded these dietary changes: canned and frozen produce replaced fresh fruits and vegetables. Free-range cattle gave way to feedlots. Fresh, lean meat was replaced by processed and canned meats." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"In Chapter 2 you read some of the more memorable cases of people, some of whom were facing lives of physical compromise and impending death, whose health was turned around by employing these metabolic rescue remedies. Now we'll move on to explore some of the intricacies of cardiovascular bioenergetics. First, we'll discuss the basics of cellular energy and review how these basics relate to the heart. Then, we'll examine how coenzyme Qiq and L-carnitine assist the heart in energy turnover, keeping the cell fueled with the energy it needs." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Redressing the problematic relationship between medicine and industry and establishing an ethical synergy is one of the greatest issues facing modern medicine—an issue that I wish the newly emergent field of bioethics was more proactive in tackling. Bioethics is a nascent field that is only twenty-five years old. One of my mentors in bioethics, V. R. Potter, was the first to coin the term." - Peter J.

"Gwen Korovin, taught me another great technique for keeping children's ears clean and infection free: Put four drops of hydrogen peroxide in an ear dropper and have your child lie on her side with the ear that you're treating facing up. Then, put the dropper into your child's ear. In about five minutes, the peroxide will bubble up and drain out naturally. Just remember to put a towel under the ear so that the peroxide drains onto the towel and not onto your child's bed. When you're done, you can use a wash cloth to clean off the outside of the ear." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!)

(Get the book.)
