"Kevin also won the Gold Medal at the NY film Festival in 1994 for his film "Let Truth Be the Bias," a film that helped pass the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 which provides our current nutritional supplement freedoms (which are under attack by Codex). Kevin is currently working on an expanded version of "We Become Silent" and needs support. 6. Mary and I saw the first screening of Aaron Russo's new documentary film, "America: From Freedom to Fascism". You can see clips of the film and more information at http://www.freedomtofascism.com." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"In addition, to avoid any possibility of bias, the technicians who performed the angiogram analyses were "blinded"—that is, they did not know whether the film they were analyzing was the initial, baseline film taken before the patient joined the study, or the follow-up film taken upon its completion. At the five-year mark, seven of the eighteen participants were unable to have a follow-up angiogram. The results I report here are for the eleven participants who did have follow-up angiograms after five years. The analyses were stunning." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"After the Second World War disrupted his career for a time, Carl returned to film, and in 1951 he starred in Vagabunden derLiebe, the first of more than sixty films. Among his most notable is The Last Bridge, which won the Golden Palm Award at the 1953 Cannes film Festival, as did the French production Rififii the following year, now considered a classic. American audiences would best remember Carl as Captain Lindeman in Sink the Bismark or as Peter the fish cook in The Kitchen. Despite his success in film, Carl's first love was painting." - Ray D.

"If we make a film of roulette being played in a casino, that film may be said to be accurate if the numbers that are shown coming up in the film are the same numbers that actually came up when the film was made. The film will show the same numbers every time it is played: it is totally predictable. So an accurate image of an unpredictable environment must be predictable. But what does it mean for a virtual-reality rendering of a roulette wheel to be accurate? As before, it means that a user should not find it perceptibly different from the original." - David Deutsch, The Fabric of Reality: The Science of Parallel Universes and Its Implications (Get the book.)

"Researchers at the University of Michigan in Dearborn sat women and men at tables loaded with munchies, and had them watch either a bland film about travel or a high-anxiety film about gruesome accidents on the job. The women who watched the gory film ate twice as many cookies, candies, and crackers as the people who watched the travel film, while the men who viewed the gory film actually ate less food. As mentioned in chapter 7, this food-mood link might be reinforced because eating raises levels of endorphins and serotonin, which in turn calm us down." - Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D., Food & Mood: The Complete Guide to Eating Well and Feeling Your Best, Second Edition (Get the book.)

"We randomly assigned one of four different film clips, of which two were positive, one evoking serenity by showing ocean waves and the other mild amusement, by showing a puppy playing with a flower. One clip was negative, evoking sadness by showing a young boy crying at the death of someone he loved. The last was neutral, simply an old-fashioned computer screen saver that showed an abstract display of colored sticks piling up. What you need to appreciate about the two positive film clips we used in this experiment was how extraordinarily mild they were." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"Her dedication and the program she designed generated so much interest that an educational foundation decided to film her teaching in the classroom so they could sell a video along with a textbook to other schools. When they filmed her working with the children, something surprising emerged. Every time she touched one of the children, she went to the back of the room and washed her hands in the sink! When she was shown the film, she was both surprised and embarrassed. She had no idea she was acting in that way." - Ray Dodd, BeliefWorks: The Art of Living Your Dreams (Get the book.)

"In the 2002 film John Q, Denzel Washington played a father whose employer-provided HMO refused to cover a heart transplant for his dying son. Audiences cheered and stomped their feet when the father held an entire emergency room hostage at gunpoint until doctors agreed to perform the operation. Moviegoers exploded in applause when Helen Hunt's plucky heroine in 1997's As Good as It Gets called the bureaucrats controlling the care of her asthmatic son "fucking HMO bastard pieces of shit." These films and others like them tapped into a deep well of resentment over what was happening to medicine." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"After working creatively with photographic film for over twenty-five years, the shift from conventional film to a digital camera was a liberating experience for me. By opening my vision, it freed me to explore a new way of working, a balance between the moment of connection and the extended moment of revelation. This second step in my work, the extended moment, is the process of revealing the true nature of the image in the computer, of painting with light." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Everything has been carefully recorded, both on audio and on film (a professional film crew has been working silently in the dark, but not entirely pitch-dark, room). It is time to ask: What has happened? What am I to make of it? THE QUESTION OF AUTHENTICITY Could it be that the above experience in instrumental transcommunica-tion was a hoax? Could there have been devices hidden in the room or at distant locations, connected electronically with the radio, which had produced the sounds I had heard? This possibility cannot be absolutely ruled out, but the record weighs against it." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"They are then reunited and captured on a piece of photographic film. The result on the plate - which represents the interference pattern of these waves - resembles nothing more than a set of squiggles or concentric circles. However, when you shine a light beam from the same kind of laser through the film, what you see is a fully realized, incredibly detailed, three-dimensional virtual image of the china teacup floating in space (an example of this is the image of Princess Leia which gets generated by R2D2 in the first movie of the Star Wars series)." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Another example, reported by Professor John Wilson in 1961, involved a tribe in Africa who were shown a film on sanitation. At the end of the movie, none of the 30 or so villagers could describe the story the film was trying to unfold. In fact, when asked what they had seen, they said, "We saw a chicken," which had appeared for about a second in the corner of one of the frames of the film. Apparently, the concept of a motion picture and of pictures appearing on a screen out of thin air was so foreign to the villagers that they literally could not see the movie being projected on the screen." - Margaret Ruby, The DNA of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.)

"By the time he was a teenager, he had become a full-fledged film aficionado, amateur jazz pianist, and well-paid professional disc jockey. After graduating from college with dual degrees in film composition and music business, he was the top pick out of four hundred applicants for a much-coveted job with a global entertainment conglomerate. At twenty-two, he landed in a chic office on the thirty-eighth floor of a Times Square high-rise with an enviable salary and generous benefits. By all normal professional standards, he had arrived. But soon, Jack wasn't feeling his usual upbeat self." - 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.)

"Mary and I saw the first screening of Aaron Russo's new documentary film, "America: From Freedom to Fascism". You can see clips of the film and more information at http://www.freedomtofascism.com. This terrific film really helps to explain the pervasive nature of government control at the expense of individual rights, including the threat to health freedom. It is scheduled to open July 28, 2006. Be sure to attend!

"The patient apparently decided to have his film sent UPS and left without waiting for his film. I did not see the patient leave. Another incident report again described the patient taking medication before the MRI and its aftermath: After the exam the patient appeared very groggy and somewhat uncoordinated. At some point he told me he had taken two 2 mg tablets of "something like Valium." I asked the patient if he had someone to drive him home. He stated that if he felt unable to drive, he had someone he could call." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Mark Macy used a device called "the luminator" in combination with an off-the-shelf Polaroid 600 camera and stock film and has obtained thousands of pictures of "spirit faces" that appear on the film in his presence and sometimes also in the presence of a person to whom a given spirit face was known. (The "luminator" was invented by Patrick Richards of Michigan. It has two counterrotating fans that pull air into vents at the base of the unit and blow it out through the vents at the top. The air passes through a Plexiglas barrel lined with rings filled with a water-based liquid." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"The novel and film The Bridges of Madison County was set in and filmed in and around Winterset. Between May 25 and 27, 2007, Winterset celebrated the one hundredth birthday of John Wayne. The festivities included the groundbreaking of the John Wayne Birthplace Museum with Wayne's son Ethan in attendance; the John Wayne Birthday Wld West Revue, complete with a live stagecoach robbery, with appearances by Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"It was amazing because the film crew was actually there for around six hours at the pool tournament filming me. The pool tournament was in Orlando, Florida; the film crew was there in Orlando, Florida! But the Nightline piece said on their website and on the television that it was in Chicago. They can't even get their facts straight. 20/20 did a piece and said lie after lie after lie about me. They said I never sent them the report on the University of Calgary study on the combination of herbs that has been used in treating diabetes." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Dye is injected through the catheter into each coronary artery while a running film (cine-angiogram) captures a precise picture of the artery and its major branches. When these angiogram pictures are taken over time, it is possible to compare them and thus to measure how diseased portions of the arteries are faring. Are they remaining the same? Are they getting worse—narrowing as they sustain further blockage? Or are they improving—growing wider, and thus allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach the heart muscle? These analyses of the films must be scrupulously precise and objective." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Epilogue After writing this book, I saw Eugene Jarecki's documentary film Why We Fight, about the "military-industrial complex," a term coined by Dwight Eisenhower, who devoted his farewell address in 1961 to its "grave implications." I couldn't help but see parallels between the military-industrial complex and the current "psychopharmaceutical-industrial complex," including the revolving doors of employment between government and industry. In the film, author and U.S." - Bruce E. Levine, Surviving America's Depression Epidemic: How to Find Morale, Energy, and Community in a World Gone Crazy (Get the book.)

"The festive air was broken when Dona Olga and a film crew arrived. A director, a cameraman, and a guy with a boom mike charged into the front room. They immediately began filming the refuge, thrusting their camera (with its intense, focused light) into the faces of the men and women. Some of the men hurried into the back rooms. The camera and light searched the room like the spotlight in a prison yard. Nelson, who was the most handsome and presentable guy, was caught like a deer in the headlights. They pummeled him with questions about his accident, life in the shelter, and so on." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)
