"You've heard that the attitude of a patient can make a huge difference in his health outcome, and it's true. But it's not the only thing that matters. But by the same token, neither are the drugs he's given. Nor the nutrients, especially if they're given one at a time. What does matter is how everything works together. The best practitioners not only recognize this, they make full use of synergy in designing treatment plans. Mind and body form a giant feedback loop in which ultimately the effects of one are indistinguishable from the effects of the other." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"This greatly reduces the probability that an unidentified preexisting factor is responsible for any differences in health outcome. For this reason, an RCT would be much more likely to identify the true effect of having run in the race. The problem with this kind of study is that it takes more time and is more expensive to do. It is amazing that before 1998, not one of the claims supporting the benefits of HRT had been substantiated by large RCTs." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"The omega-3 fats in these fish have always gotten credit for this improved health outcome, but these same dietary sources are also high in vitamin D. Vitamin D, Inflammation, and the Metabolic Syndrome Our understanding of cardiovascular disease has recently shifted from a simple focus on lipids to a focus on inflammation. The weight of evidence now suggests that chronic low-grade inflammation and its effect on blood vessels are actually what cause arteriosclerosis (coronary heart disease)." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"You see, your health outcome is really your choice. You can manifest whatever level of health you're willing to commit to. And I just gave you the secret recipe above. It's really that simple. But it does require breaking habits, spending some money on yourself (for supplements, mostly), and challenging your old, outdated, false belief systems that got you to where you are now. "Insanity," they say, is when you keep doing the same old things you've always done, but you expect a different result." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"These distinctions proved fertile grounds for constructing a useful argument when findings of increased risk in animals were eventually made public: if a chemical causes cancer or some other poor health outcome in purebred rats or dogs, that finding may not be pertinent to humans. We don't bark, chew through wood, or make babies after three weeks, so we should not assume that what happens to other mammals when exposed to chemicals necessarily happens to us." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"Conventional medicine consistently steals this power from patients, leaving them helpless, victimized, and believing they have no control over their health outcome. You are the healer, not your doctor If you are wise enough to resist this surrender of your health power, then you can recognize that you alone, and not anyone else in the outside world, have the ability to make the changes in your life that will result in a healing event. There is no other healer except you. Yes, there are surgical procedures." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "Conventional medicine consistently steals this power from patients, leaving them helpless, victimized, and believing they have no control over their health outcome. 1 Disease is actually a teacher, if we're willing to listen. Pain can be a great motivator to learn something new. This is another reason why conventional medicine is so harmful— by eliminating the pain through painkillers or taking health responsibility away from the patient, doctors deny the patient the ability to experience their own healing journey." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"For this reason post-market monitoring is not considered necessary or useful as there is no potential adverse health outcome to monitor. In Australia and New Zealand, as in most other countries, the responsibility for post-market surveillance is covered by an ongoing duty of care on the part of the developer. The developer is expected to monitor for existing and emerging risks that may be associated with its product and notify regulatory authorities whenever new information is uncovered." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.)

"It's about showing individuals how to alter their health outcome so that they can be free of disease. You can't teach that unless you've done it. Based on a survey of my readers, the vast majority of people I'm reaching with information have been able to make astounding health changes. Forty-three percent, for example, have been able to quit drinking soft drinks and more than two-thirds reported improved mental function and improved happiness." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"Rather than focusing on weight loss as the most important health outcome of a change in diet or lifestyle, some doctors advocate paying more attention to overall fitness and reduction in known risk factors for heart disease and other health hazards.13 Excess body mass has the one advantage of increasing bone mass—a protection against osteoporosis (page 333). Probably because of this, researchers have been able to show that people who successfully lose weight have greater loss of bone compared with those who do not lose weight." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D. Thompson, Pharm.D., N.D., The Natural Pharmacy: Complete A-Z Reference to Natural Treatments for Common Health Conditions (Get the book.)

"You can change your future health outcome by choosing foods that actually have their nutritional content intact. And those of course, are superfoods, whole foods, raw foods, broccoli sprouts, and so on. One of the best grains I recommend is quinoa, which isn't really a grain, but most people think it is, so I'll call it that. Quinoa has a complete protein, high fiber, excellent mineral content, complex carbohydrates and a long shelf life to boot. It's • easy to prepare, easy to eat, and can be made into a number of delicious recipes." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"In the Primary Prevention Project Study, 4,495 patients were randomized to vitamin E, aspirin, or no treatment. Although aspirin decreased the rate of heart attacks, vitamin E had no effect.14 The Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Soprawivenza nell'Infarto Miocardico (GISSI) Prevenzione Trial assessed 11,324 Italians after a heart attack and randomly assigned them to take polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, both, or neither.15 The polyunsaturated fatty acids led to a reduction in heart attacks and related events, but vitamin E had no effect." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Thus, the message that your genes are responsible for your disease serves primarily to strip away your power and make you believe you are not responsible for your current health outcome. If you fall for it, you're trapped At first it sounds like a good deal; you might be thinking, "Great! That's good news. I know I'm not responsible now." At the same time, it makes it impossible for you to do something about it. If you don't believe you're responsible for your current situation, you have absolutely no power to change it." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "Defense against disempowerment The first mind hack is disempowerment, and the defense against that is to realize you are in charge of your health outcome, not your genes, and not your doctor. In a sense, the defense is to simply claim your own power; to recognize that you make choices and that those choices have outcomes in your own life; that you are not a prisoner to your genes, nor are you a victim who must put the fate of your health into the hands of another individual who may or may not have your best interests in mind. Defense against biohacking Mind hack No. 2 is biohacking." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "Good doctors, in a sense, give patients choices, and when they have those choices, they can take their health power back into their own hands, and they can shape their health outcome in whatever way they see fit. So, authority, like many tools, can be used correctly, or it can be abused. It just depends on the maturity and egos of the people who are wielding authority. If they are infantile in their thinking ?they have sky-high egos and visions of control, dominance or financial profits ?then authority is destructive." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "They think the patient really has no role in his or her own health outcome. They think it is a doctor's job, and in fact, a doctor's right, to be the one who creates the effect. How dare you try to inform yourself! Unfortunately, this comes across in doctor-patient conversations." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Nurses, the health care professionals who are closest to the patients, were the first to see and report on the adverse effects of poly-pharmacy. They are also closest to the doctors who prescribe these drugs. Larsen and Martin report that the physicians willingly prescribe multiple prescriptions because they perceive (correctly) that this is what the patient wants. Little or no time is spent on the discussion of "non-prescriptive methods of treatment." Take high blood pressure as an example." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"Walter Willet recently proclaimed, research has shown that the percentage of fat in the diet—contrary to the advice of the last two decades—has shown absolutely no relationship to any major health outcome. So why worry about fat at all? Having been the associate medical director of the Atkins Center for many years, Dr. Pescatore understands well that the demonization of all fat was a ridiculous idea. But rather than taking a stand for the wholehearted repeal of fat-phobia, the Hamptons Diet takes a more cautious approach." - Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.S., Living the Low Carb Life: Controlled Carbohydrate Eating for Long-Term Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"Diet is the #1 cause of all modern disease, and a person can radically alter their health outcome, including reversing serious disease, by making radical alterations to their diet. One such alteration is, of course, the removal of cows' milk from the diet. Beyond constipation, by the way, there are yet other reasons to avoid cows' milk. The next we'll explore is the link between cows' milk consumption and diabetes." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.) "I believe in empowering people with information that helps them make informed, educated decisions about what level of health outcome they wish to achieve. With the information I've presented in this manual, you have control. And you have the choice of how much of it you wish to apply in your own life. If you are eating many of the dangerous ingredients I have discussed here, you could conceivably improve your health by doing just one thing in this manual while ignoring everything else." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.) "Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, osteoporosis, irritable bowel syndrome, clinical depression, and even neurological disorders can all be traced to a specific dietary pattern that, when altered, results in a rather rapid improvement in the health outcome of the patient. But whether a dietary change can actually reverse a specific disease such as diabetes depends entirely on the degree of permanent damage that may have already been caused as the disease progressed." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.) "You are, in fact, the only person who has control over your health outcome. Your doctor cannot determine your health, the FDA cannot determine your health, and no prescription drug can make you healthier (they can only mask isolated symptoms). You are the only person on the planet who can decide where you want to be on that health spectrum and then take the necessary actions to arrive at that position. It isn't my place to engage in any sort of judgment about where you decide you want to be on that line." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)
