"Although most drug rehab centers do focus on some of the ten energy enhancers, few include the live food factor in their drug withdrawal and keeping clean strategies. This is so sad and so physiologically unwise because the one thing a tired, drug-ridden body needs is superlative nutrition for its worn-down mind and broken spirit. Taking Drugs: It's a Black-or-White Thing Drugs absolutely do not cure! Drugs are all classified as toxic stimulants, in that the body responds to their poisoning presence by using precious energy needed elsewhere to reject them." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "What you refuse to eat is as much a health factor as what you choose to eat, especially in a world in which cooked food is everywhere. Cooking and organic chemistry operate primarily in the temperature range between 68?F and 572?F (20?C and 300?C). When you were in chemistry lab at school, you no doubt learned that heating things changed their chemical structures. Why would heating food be immune to this chemical process? Think of a kitchen as a chemical laboratory, producing a multitude of new chemical substances that do not normally occur in a natural setting." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "May not the heat processing to which we are subjecting a great portion of our foods be a factor in this downward trend?" He went on to remark that his colleague, Dr. Weston Price, dramatically documented the same downhill spiral of civilized man in his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration: A Comparison of Primitive and Modern Diets and Their Effects. Although humans, rats and hogs are the most versatile mammal species on the planet, they still suffer when eating cooked food, as has been borne out by many experiments. There was even an experiment within this experiment." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "No substance or process that is not a normal factor element in physiology can be of any value in the structure of the living organism, and that which is unusable in a state of health is equally unusable in a state of illness. The medical mentality at its very worst overrides the Law of Utilization with propaganda to program the people into thinking that virtually anything called a food by the SAD industrialists and anything called a drug by the medical/pharmaceutical industrialists can be consumed absolutely and positively without harm, with impunity, with benefit." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Safety factor: Also called the "uncertainty factor." When scientists don't have enough information to decide if an exposure will cause harm to people, they use "safety factors" and formulas in place of the unknown information. These factors and formulas can help determine the amount of a chemical that is not likely to cause harm to people. Source (of contamination): The place where a chemical comes from, such as a landfill, pond, or incinerator. The contaminant source is the first part of an Exposure pathway." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"There is not one causative factor for fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue. The causative factor (or factors) can vary from one individual to the next. In other words, one patient with fibromyalgia may be suffering from a viral illness while another with the same diagnosis may have a nutritional deficiency. As mentioned before, almost all who suffer from these illnesses will have numerous causative factors occurring at the same time. It is imperative to simultaneously evaluate all possible causative factors (outlined above) and to treat all of these factors concurrently." - David Brownstein, Overcoming Arthritis (Get the book.)

"In instances where heredity does not seem to be a factor, difficulties during pregnancy, prenatal exposure to alcohol and tobacco, premature delivery, significantly low birth weight, excessively high lead levels, and postnatal injury to the brain have all been found to be risk factors for ADD/ADHD. Many health-care professionals believe that ADD/ADHD (or behavior that mimics it) arises from excessive sugar intake,food additives, excessive television viewing, inadequate limit setting, or social and environmental factors such as poverty or family chaos." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"In a report to Congress, researchers said they had found that prescription drugs were a possible factor in an estimated 26 percent of the truck crashes that caused death or injury between 2001 and 2003. The researchers had catalogued about a thousand different "associative factors"—that is, things investigators believed may have contributed to the crash—as they dug more deeply into a large sample of these accidents. Prescription medications ranked at the top of their list." - 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.)

"Modern medicine typically attributes heart conditions to an array of physical and lifestyle factors, ranging from cholesterol and diet to environmental toxins and stress. While these determinants may be accurate on a purely chemical level, they do little to address the actual reason why the conditions exist. What does "failure of the heart" really mean? Perhaps it's not a coincidence that all the lifestyle factors linked to heart failure are also linked to the force that speaks to the universe itself: human emotion." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"More than any other factor, this defensive reflex?which I call The Squelcher—blocks us from achieving our full mental capacity. The Attention Bottleneck Like most people, Bob had probably been trained from infancy to ignore the stream of perceptions that welled up ceaselessly from his unconscious mind. "Stop daydreaming!" his teachers probably chided him in school. "Sit up and pay attention!" Unfortunately, paying attention is a skill with limited usefulness. Scientists calculate that the human brain can pay attention to only about 126 bits of information per second." - Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe, The Einstein Factor: A Proven New Method for Increasing Your Intelligence (Get the book.)

"The causative factor (or factors) can vary from one individual to the next. In other words, one patient with fibromyalgia may be suffering from a viral illness while another with the same diagnosis may have a nutritional deficiency. As mentioned before, almost all who suffer from these illnesses will have numerous causative factors occurring at the same time. It is imperative to simultaneously evaluate all possible causative factors (outlined above) and to treat all of these factors concurrently." - David Brownstein, Overcoming Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Variations in these compounds may account for previously inconsistent results in experimental carcinogenesis. This factor not only applies to lab experiments; it also applies to epidemiological studies of population groups. A number of factors may have been overlooked by designers of epidemiological studies, including the following: There has generally been no accounting for background omega-6 intake that would affect fatty acid ratios. There has been no accounting for antioxidant status." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"In Freenoting The Einstein factor, you might well come up with original techniques of your own for enhancing learning and intelligence. Your methods may bear little resemblance to mine but work just as well for you. Even if your Freenotes read like rough copies of my thoughts, you can trust that your greater consciousness has imbued them with a perspective that is uniquely your own and that tailors the information to your special needs. Project Renaissance would be most interested in hearing of any Freenoting insights you receive while reading this book." - Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe, The Einstein Factor: A Proven New Method for Increasing Your Intelligence (Get the book.)

"Beyond Pesticides," a 1996 study published in the International Journal of Health Services, reported that milk from cows injected with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), a synthetically produced hormone that makes cows produce more milk, contains increased levels of a growth factor that has been linked to breast and gastrointestinal cancers in humans. Recombinant bovine growth hormone may also increase levels of the bovine IGF-I growth factor. An increase in IGF-I may provoke cancer cells to increase more rapidly and contribute to lung, colon, prostate, and breast cancer." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"A diet rich in high-oleic-acid sunflower oil favorably alters low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and factor VII coagulant activity. J Am Diet Assoc. 2005 Jul;105(7):1071-1079. Binkoski AE, Kris-Etherton PM, Wilson TA, Mountain ML, Nicolosi RJ.

"Quite by accident, I discovered one way to do this almost thirty years ago, long before I had formulated my theory of the Einstein factor. Between 1965 and 1969, I picked up the habit of tinkering on the piano with a tape recorder running. I had no musical training, and probably even less natural talent. Yet I found that if I tinkered without inhibition or self-consciousness, simply pretending or acting as if I were playing a real piece, some portions of the ensuing cacophony would actually resemble music." - Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe, The Einstein Factor: A Proven New Method for Increasing Your Intelligence (Get the book.)

"Each one of us is made up of all the elements, as we are a part of nature, but we have one element that is predominant which is referred to as the causative factor. This element is where we live from. It is where our greatest gifts lie, where we will encounter our greatest challenges, and where the most imbalances can occur. Each of the elements has correspondences of color, sound, odor, emotion, taste, climate, direction, season, sense, personality, body tissue, and so forth. The main determining factors of a person's primary element are color, sound, odor, and emotion." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"All of these studies factor in biological risk factors and health-adverse behaviors, such as tobacco abuse. But these studies do not consider ses. Who is likely to spend an hour or two each week exercising for fun? Who is likely to choose to walk the stairs rather than take an elevator? Is it the advantaged person whose work is not physically demanding? How many blue-collar production workers or materials handlers or field hands want to ride an exercise bicycle after work?" - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"So, although age is a risk factor, it is certainly not the only factor that determines heart disease risk. Heart disease does not have to be an inevitable part of the aging process. Remember, it is caused by multiple risk factors, many of which you can control. Controllable Risk Factors Several conditions can increase your risk of developing a heart attack. Five of the most common are: 1. High blood pressure 2. High cholesterol levels 3. Sticky fat (LDL oxidation) 4. Diabetes 5. Elevated homocysteine Let's take a closer look at three cardiac risk factors?" - Matthew Budoff, Enhancing Heart Health: Preventing a Heart Attack (Get the book.)

"Marie suggested that Richard should "let go," "break all the rules," and not worry about what critics or other commentators would say about The Einstein factor. Strangely enough, this advice struck home on a very particular issue that had been troubling Richard concerning the writing of Chapter 7—the very next chapter he was planning to write! DEEP DECODING The blocks and inhibitions that hamper our work usually arise from deep-rooted conflicts that persist in our minds over many years. Through the Image Stream, we can identify these inner demons and begin to exorcise them." - Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe, The Einstein Factor: A Proven New Method for Increasing Your Intelligence (Get the book.)

"We now know that probiotics are an important factor in human health. Having a better understanding of how they elicit these effects will help researchers better target certain conditions or diseases with specific probiotic strains. As such, researchers from around the globe are back in the laboratories trying to better identify the mechanisms by which probiotic strains affect the body. Probiotics' effects are specific to their strain. In other words, the actions of one strain may not be the same as a similar yet different strain. For example, a mechanism preformed by L." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Two nutrients known to directly influence this genetic factor are docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), essential fatty acids that are found in relatively high concentrations in fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and tuna. (These nutrients are also available as dietary supplements, which may be preferable because of the contaminants—mercury, cadmium, polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs], dioxins, and others—that pollute much of the world's seafood supply. High-quality supplements can be purchased that have had these toxins removed." - 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.) "Indeed, insulin resistance is a key underlying factor in type 2 diabetes and a topic we will discuss in depth. Since type 2 diabetes is by far the most common form of diabetes and is the type that commonly arises after the warning signal of prediabetes, we will focus on this disease. You can also prevent, and in many cases reverse, type 2 diabetes because the disease is largely influenced by the collective impact of diet, exercise, and other lifestyle practices on gene expression of metabolism." - 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.)

"Another thing to keep in mind is that your cholesterol level is not the only factor associated with the development of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a complex process involving a myriad of risk factors, including low antioxidant intake, excess caloric consumption, and lack of adequate exercise. The heart disease epidemic is a modern phenomenon that is intricately entwined with the plentiful availability of low-cost, low-nutrient food everywhere in the developed world." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Cholesterol Protection for Life, New Expanded Edition (Get the book.)

"Recombinant bovine growth hormone may also increase levels of the bovine IGF-I growth factor. An increase in IGF-I may provoke cancer cells to increase more rapidly and contribute to lung, colon, prostate, and breast cancer. Although the FDA says that there is "no significant difference" in cows treated with artificial hormones, you can find many dairies that refuse to use rBGH; look for milk producers who disclose on their labels that they don't use artificial hormones. • Dioxin. Dioxin is the most carcinogenic substance ever tested." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Belief in the efficacy of the particular healing treatment was undoubtedly another factor. In the Love Study, Schlitz and Stone had stressed the importance of a shared belief system in the success of remote influence, and Schwartz's results bear this out. In the large prayer studies, the senders and receivers of prayer did not share the same belief system about God. Most of the patients had been prayed for by a number of groups from different religions and disparate belief systems. Even Benson's Christian study employed different Christian sects, which do not share identical beliefs." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"We can't control every single factor that influences our children's health, but we're by no means powerless. If we work together, we can reduce the concentration of chemicals our children are exposed to before birth. By educating ourselves, and controlling our toxic exposures, we can make all the difference in the health of future generations. As parents, we have a responsibility to fight for more research like Perera's." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"He was taken off dairy, and started on various nutritional supplements, including zinc, vitamin C, cod liver oil, vitamin E, transfer factor, and probiotics. He responded extremely well to this nutritional and supplementation therapy, and stopped getting asthma attacks. He was actually able to stop all of his prescription medications. A year later, his mother reported that he was "doing great." He was growing well, and had gained four and a half pounds. She said he rarely got sick, and if he caught a cold, it would no longer progress to wheezing. His bowels had become regular." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "If your child is old enough to take supplements, and has no history of reactions to supplements, give him or her vitamins C and A, zinc, and transfer factor. Start the supplements one to two weeks before the vaccination. Also give them on the day of the vaccination and for one to two weeks after. At a minimum, give them the day before, and on the day of the vaccination, and the day after. Dosage should be appropriate to age, size, and other indications. Be especially sure not to give an excess of vitamin A. Vitamin A should preferably be given as cod liver oil. 4." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"As such, prebiotics are sometimes referred to as having a bifidogenic factor, as they support the growth and colonization of Bifidobacteria. Please note that prebiotics may sometimes be referred to as "fermentable substrates." This is because Bifidobacteria break down prebiotics with a process called fermentation to create energy. Bifidogenic Effect A product that stimulates, or claims to stimulate, Bifidobacteria is said to have a bifidogenic effect on the intestinal flora. Inulin, FOS and other prebiotics |_are known to have a bifidogenic effect in humans._|?" - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)
