 "Suddenly, the pilot finds himself in a good news-bad news situation: The good news is that it looks like he'll be able to land by skidding the belly of his plane onto the runway; the bad news is that in doing so, the observation bubble will be crushed under the weight of the plane and his friend will die.
The rest of the drama focuses on the emotional tension of the pilot exhausting all other alternatives and coming to a dire realization: To save his crew and himself, landing the plane is his only option. If he doesn't try, they'll all die."- Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) |
 "However, one seldom fully grasps something until they experience it themselves. The good news is we all can have experiences of spirit, healing, communion, and raising of consciousness. It is our birthright. We are meant to love, to heal, to understand, and to live according to our own true nature.
There is rising evidence in the scientific arena that supports many of my experiences as well as those of my students—the same kinds of experiences that indigenous and traditional healers have had for eons."- Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
 "Feed Their Brains
We've already discovered that food can affect mood, motivation, and mental health in the long run. The good news is that the proper food can also provide great energy boosts right now.
There is a reason people get the munchies when they are studying hard or really straining their brains. The brain is a highly metabolically active organ. While it is operating at full power, it is hungry for the right kinds of fuel. If fed properly when it is at work, the human mind can sharpen its memory, enhance motivation, improve reaction time, and cope with stress much more efficiently."- Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) |
| "He states that we are about to enter what he calls the "bottleneck" in time, when both our resources and our ability to solve the problems of our day will be pushed to their limits.
The good news echoed by the experts, however, is that "if decision makers can get the framework right, the future of humanity will be secured by thousands of mundane decisions. ... It is usually in mundane matters that the most profound advances are made."11 Without a doubt, there are countless choices that each of us will be asked to make in the near future." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) |
 "More and more studies document a high occurrence of low magnesium states in people with diabetes, as well as those with the syndrome called insulin resistance (IR) or Syndrome X. The good news is knowing this association gives us a new leg up for treating and preventing IR and diabetes, two very problematic endocrine problems.
For example, in a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of sixty-three type 2 diabetics with decreased magnesium blood levels, oral supplementation improved both insulin sensitivity and metabolic glucose control."- Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) |
 "I think PS is very, very good news for the brain."
Linda Toth has a Ph.D. in communications from UCLA and was a senior staff health writer for the Journal of Longevity Research. Increasing memory or brain power is one of her major concerns.
"Remember," she says, "half of all the body's nerve cells are located in your head. Actually, a young baby has many more brain cells than an adult. Around age 10—we don't know why or how—the brain itself starts snipping away brain cells."- Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "The national and international experts bemoaning a mental health crisis forgot to consider the good news: most mental and emotional conditions can and have been helped, if not cured, by natural means. As Dr. James D. Gordon, clinical professor at the Georgetown University School of Medicine says, "All aspects of diet can affect all aspects of psychological and emotional functioning," and the fact that the average doctor sees no connection between nutrition and the mind is staggering. We're not used to understanding the power of food in every healing tradition in the world." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) |
 "This could lead to some interesting situations: if you gave someone the gentlest touch, they would promptly disappear at thousands of kilometres an hour, until they bounced off the other side of the room a fraction of a millisecond later. The good news is that traffic accidents would be virtually impossible: automobiles ?and passengers ?could collide harmlessly at any speed.39

 "Some shampoos and hair conditioners, hand lotions, and hair colors contain a potentially dangerous antibacterial chemical called methylisothiazolinone (MIT).
The good news in this is that you can make the most improvements in your life through minimal changes. It's pretty easy to swap out your old products for natural, environmentally friendly ones that can do the same job. It's also important to read labels, even though all ingredients are not always listed."- Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "I think we're just beginning to understand the power of these phytochemicals and there will be nothing but good news ahead. Where you find a healthy dose of phytonutrients, you often find a cornucopia of vitamins and minerals. Calcium and Magnesium for Women Women have an extra need for these minerals, so you would do well to add a calcium/magnesium supplement containing the proper ratio of these important macronutrients. Avoid carbonate forms of calcium (e.g., Turns), and instead look for a calcium-magnesium chelate containing a 2:1 ratio." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "This entailed an effort that included the detailed review of tens of thousands of toxicology, chemistry, and environmental studies as well as the application of new risk assessment methods and policies. Good news: this ten-year effort, based on sound science and broad public participation, resulted in the strictest protective standards for pesticide regulation for all Americans, especially infants and children. More than 4,300 individual pesticide registrations were canceled because they were deemed unsafe (a good thing!)." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "The good news is that even a sluggish liver is still an effective one. Because there are six detoxification pathways in the liver alone, a weakness here or there is likely to be covered. An injury or illness can wipe out 90 percent of the liver's ability to function, and yet life will go on and the liver will recover. How amazing is that? For this reason, the liver is said to have a functional reserve." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) |
 "The good news is that I have developed a five-step program for treating depression naturally that seems to work in about 90 percent of patients. It is detailed in my book, Depression-Free for Life.

 "And here's the good news: You don't have to do it all. We present an a la carte menu of sorts. You can pick and choose the most appealing items, follow our advice for converting items from the longevity menu into everyday habits, and know that whatever you choose, chances are you'll be adding months or years to your life.
Encoded in the world's Blue Zones are centuries—even millennia—of human experiences."- Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) |
 "Their logic, as explained in a press release from the industry's trade group, is that the escalating cost is "good news" because it means that "more people are getting more and better medicines." Americans should stop complaining about the high cost, the drug executives say, and consider how much they have gained by spending more of their incomes on medical treatment.
"The current dilemma we face as a nation is not about the failures of our healthcare system, but rather about its success," David Brennan, a top executive at AstraZeneca, told the Detroit Economic Club in 2004.

In a minority of patients with biopsy-diagnosed celiac disease, there will continue to be gastrointestinal symptoms and failure of normalization of intestinal damage, despite vigorous adherence to the gluten-free diet. Despite this, the majority of patients who are not better on the diet should not immediately be labeled as "refractory" to the diet."- Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "The purpose of this review is to provide some additional "Pollyannas" in the form of polyphenols contained in berries, Concord grape juice, curcumin, and other natural products such as tea catechins, and the polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in such commodities as fish oils and nuts that may act as harbingers of good news for healthy aging. Note, however, that since there have already been multiple reviews of vitamins E and C (e.g., [1, 2]) and such supplements as ginkgo biloba (e.g., [3]), these topics will not be covered here." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) |
 "Unfortunately, powerful feelings, thoughts, and desires that are repressed or "set aside" in this manner remain in the subconscious mind where they sabotage our psychological, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.
The good news is, if you can identify your story and live it out authentically, you can unleash miraculous mental power and attain great health, peace, and joy. Your age, station in life, race, culture, gender, or how much suffering you've had to endure doesn't matter.
It really is that simple.
However, getting to your story behind the story is not so simple."- 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, of course, unbelievably good news for you and you feel fantastic. You're happy, you're well, and you're satisfied. It's like you've gotten a new lease on life. Now, open your eyes and think about how you feel. How would you rate your pain, discomfort, or dysfunction? I'll bet you'll find it has improved. If it was a seven before, maybe it is a four or a three now. You've just experienced the tiniest bit of what you will encounter over the course of this book." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) |
 "And here is the really good news; your insurance will pay the doctors for this test, which (surprise) almost always proves that you have the problem. In addition, once diagnosed, the treatment involves an expensive conttaption that you must wear all night. The apparatus ensures that your brain receives adequate levels of oxygen. The good news here, of course, is that your insurance will usually pay for this treatment as well. I wonder how many people, out of a random sample, would demonstrate positive for this problem if tested?"- Richard Bartlett, Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation (Get the book.) |
| "Much spoil can be made of selling the whole lot to Barbadoes, where slaves fetch eood prices in rum and sugar and we shall the world archetypes, it becomes possible to understand that the supreme initiation is not that of the local motherly fathers, who then project aggression onto the neighbors for their own defense. The good news, which the World Redeemer brings and which so many have been glad to hear, zealous to preach, but reluctant, apparently, to demonstrate, is that God is love, that He can be, and is to be, loved, and that all without exception are his children." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) |
 "Let's start with the good news. There are some "smart fats" that, when eaten as part of a healthy, plant-rich diet, actually benefit the body. I find this personally liberating because without some good fats to play with, I would have a tough time creating recipes I think you would love.
I usually try to lower the fat in recipes I make over, if only to slash calories. But I still include some fat, and it's great to be able to use certain smarter fats with confidence."- Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "Are we trading one high-fat dairy food for another? The good news is that the yogurt aisle has exploded with choices beyond our wildest imaginations, and reduced-fat cheeses have taken their permanent place in the dairy case as well. Never before has it been so easy to work in a few servings of low-fat dairy a day. But here's the question: Why should we? The short answer: because there are important health benefits. Now for the long answer. Benefits reach beyond calcium." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "The good news is that many elements of a cancer-prevention lifestyle, especially diet and regular exercise, are also major weapons in the fight against obesity. I admit that making these changes can be daunting, but if you focus on the health aspects, you'll be in a better place psychologically to maintain better eating habits and remain physically active. One of my nutritional mot-tos is "Eat and exercise for the health of it. . . and let the pounds fall where they may." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "Trans fats, a once popular additive in many packaged foods, may be even worse for you than saturated fats. The good news is that new labeling laws let you know how much trans fat is in a product. And by limiting full-fat dairy products, higher-fat red meats, poultry skin, stick margarine (except cholesterol-lowering types), cookies, crackers, and fast-food french fries, you can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease. Try to keep saturated fat to less than 7 percent of your total calories per day (about 15 grams for a 2,000-calorie diet), and try to eliminate trans fats completely." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) |
| "When LLU researchers first embarked on a study of the dietary habits of nearly 25,000 Adventists in California a half century ago, it was good news to the American Cancer Society, which had just initiated its own study of the effects of tobacco smoke on lung cancer. Because the overwhelming majority of Adventists were nonsmokers, they provided an ideal control group, and they were promptly folded into the ACS study." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) |
 "Probiotics can attack these invaders before they attach, colonize and cause diarrhea. The good news is that probiotics can help you prevent getting traveler's diarrhea.
Research studies have found that probiotics can prevent bad microbes from causing travelers diarrhea. The ability of a probiotic to prevent traveler's diarrhea is dependent on many factors including the strain of the probiotic, the number of strains/species used, the destination of the traveler and the way in which the bad microbe causes diarrhea. L. rhamnosus GG and S."- Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) |
 "But there is good news, too—and it's enormously good: the evidence from study after study, including gold-standard randomized clinical trials, shows that we can usually do a great deal more to maintain our own health than the medical industry, particularly the drug industry, promises it can do for us.
The goal in this chapter is not to reject medical care, but to use the best available scientific evidence to place it in the proper perspective."- John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "There are several reasons: Practicing doctors are far too busy to do this kind of research for themselves and, as we have seen, the drug companies play a large role in determining how doctors are "educated" about the new developments in medicine (including all the "good news" about the benefits of statins). Another reason is that significant conflicts of interest have become a normal part of American medicine today. Dr." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "People like to read good news more than bad, and they like to hear about progress and hope. There is another reason, too, though it is an impolite subject. Gloria Steinem, founding editor of Ms. magazine, stated it quite succinctly: "You don't get product ads unless you praise the product." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.)
