 "While exposure to heavy metals can cause many symptoms, there is no good evidence that heavy metals have any role at all in CFS, fibromyalgia (FM), multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Despite this, some practitioners frighten patients by telling them the mercury in their dental fillings may be the factor making them sick. This issue has been examined, and there is no evidence to support the assertion. Nonetheless, I have several patients who were convinced of this and went through the long, expensive, and painful process of having all their amalgams removed."- Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) |
 "Current data suggests that nearly 50% of cancers of the mouth, pharynx and larynx are associated with heavy drinking. Although there is no evidence that alcohol itself is a carcinogen, alcohol may act as a co-carcinogen by enhancing the carcinogenic effects of other chemicals. For example, studies indicate that alcohol enhances tobacco's ability to stimulate tumor formation in rats. heavy consumption of alcohol may increase the risk of cancer and is best avoided, as it has' many negative effects on health."- Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "Exposure to heavy metals may have bad effects on human health, even at low concentrations. heavy metals can be found in our foods, drinking water and vaccines. Specific probiotics can bind toxins from food and water. Some species of probiotics can reduce organic mercury into its less toxic form. As well, some probiotics can trap organic mercury, holding it captive so it cannot cause you harm. By trapping, neutralizing and binding toxins in the intestines, probiotics reduce the ability of these toxins to be absorbed into the blood and cause disease. Why Is Mercury a Concern?" - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) |
 "The group of heavy-weight particles they called "baryons" (bary'ons), which is Greek for "the heavy ones". Why physicists did not call these new groups "light", "medium", and "heavy" is one of the unanswerable questions of physics.*
Since the electron is the lightest material particle, it is, of course, a lepton. The proton is a heavy-weight particle (a baryon), although it is the lightest of the heavy-weight particles."- Gary Zukav, Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics (Get the book.) |
 "The study found that other factors were just as significant as low HDL cholesterol in increasing the risk of stroke: untreated blood pressure, lack of exercise, cigarette smoking, heavy drinking, not graduating from high school, and being uninsured or on Medicaid. In fact, the authors of this article had used data from the same case-control study in an article published in 1998 to show that even light to moderate physical activity reduced the risk of stroke in the same people by 61 percent and that heavy exercise reduced the risk of stroke by 77 percent."- John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) |
 "For instance, reactive oxygen species (ROS) recently have been shown to play a significant role in plant development and environmental responses (Foreman et al, 2003; Freeman et al, 2004). heavy metal exposure induces ROS (Freeman et al, 2004), and flavonols that accumulate after heavy metal stress may act both as metal chelators and antioxidants (Skorzynska-Polit et al, 2004; Brown et al, 1998; Malinowski et al, 2004). Anthocyanins also may have a role metal chelation and metal storage in vacuole (Hale et al, 2001, 2002)."- Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.) |

NES Case Overview: Heidi
In 1998, Heidi had been diagnosed with Crohn disease, an inflammatory bowel disease, with the most persistent symptoms being loose stools and chronic diarrhea, with blood occasionally present in her stool. She was treated for years by her primary physician, who prescribed various drugs, most recently Asacol, but by 2006 she was still suffering symptoms, especially diarrhea."- Peter h.

| "There the bow of the god Shiva was set up, huge as three palm trees, great and heavy. Krishna advanced to the bow, pulled it, and it broke with a mighty noise. Kans in his palace heard the sound and was appalled.
The tyrant sent his troops to kill the brothers in the city. But the lads slew the soldiers and returned to their camp. They told the cowherds they had had an interesting tour, then ate their suppers, and went to bed.
Kans that night had ominous dreams. When he woke, he ordered the stadium prepared for the tournament and the trumpets blown for assembly." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) "I heard a heavy thud, as of a body falling. "Terribly frightened, I climbed down the ladder to the ground. There was my father lying dead on the ground, with blood all over his head. I was brokenhearted, and began calling my mother, in the midst of my sobs. She came out of the house, and put her arms around me. 'Never mind, son, it was all an accident,' she said. 'I know you will take care of me, even if he is gone.' As she was kissing me, I woke up. "I am the eldest child in our family and am twenty-three years old." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) |
 "Choose onions that seem heavy for their size (that means they have plenty of water in them) and have papery, dry skin.
If the onion has started to sprout, it's past its prime.
Some experts say that heating garlic right after it's been peeled and crushed causes it to lose most of its active ingredients, but a Penn State study found that allowing chopped or crushed raw garlic to stand for 10 to 15 minutes before heating helps preserve most of its anticancer activity. Personally, my garlic product of choice is bottled minced garlic."- Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "In addition to losing weight if you're heavy and increasing physical activity, you can lower LDL levels with some dietary changes. Limit saturated and trans fats. Saturated fats, which we just discussed, are easy to identify because they're solid at room temperature (think butter). 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." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "A recent Harvard study linked a diet heavy on whole grain foods with a decreased risk of stroke in women. Many studies have looked at whole grains in combination with other healthful food choices and the reduction of stroke. A Mediterranean diet, which is high in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beneficial oils (see Chapter 6), has been shown to reduce stroke and heart attack by 60 percent, notes J. D. Spence, MD, with the Stroke Prevention and Atherosclerosis Research Centre in London, Ontario." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) |
 "For therapeutic enzymes to have a healing effect, it is imperative that there is not a heavy demand for digestive energy.
When enzymes are taken to achieve a therapeutic effect, they are taken on an empty stomach (a half hour before or two hours after consuming food). They are not intended to help digest food."- Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) "When taken between meals, their role changes significantly; they assist with immune imbalances, heavy metal toxicity, inflammatory conditions, circulatory disorders, skin problems, constipation, water retention, inappropriate blood clots, heart disease, stroke, and cancer, among other health problems. The use of proteases for these conditions is the second most popular use of enzyme therapy after digestive applications. The logical reasons for their popularity are their many applications and the direct connection between proteins and illness." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) |
 "The light winds coincided with exceptionally heavy rainfall in the same area. In the eastern North Pacific, stronger westerly winds resulted from pronounced anomalies in the atmosphere, while the low-pressure center that normally sat over the Aleutian Islands was much stronger than usual.
Among these scientists was the Norwegian meteorologist Jacob Bjerknes, who had moved to the University of California at Los Angeles while at the pinnacle of his career. As a young man, Bjerknes had studied the theory of air-mass circulation, especially fronts and cyclones."- Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "The soil is soaked by the heavy downpour, and within a few weeks the whole country is covered by abundant pasture. The nat- ural increase of flocks is practically doubled and cotton can be grown in places where in other years vegetation seems impossible."2 The scientists eventually talked to the coastal fisherfolk and sea captains. They found that some skippers had noted unusual currents and warm seawater conditions off the coast in ship's logs going back to 1795." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "Blanford then took this hypothesis still further, arguing that "unusually heavy and especially late falls of snow in the North-Western Himalaya" were followed by "deficient summer rainfall on the plains." The lower snow line in the mountains, he speculated, condensed the lower levels of the atmosphere and cooled the land, thereby weakening the monsoon. 19 Forecasts based on this hypothesis proved to be reasonably accurate in 1883, so research continued in the hands of Blanford's successor, Sir John Eliot." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) |
 "Walford and his colleagues calculated that a rate of 50 pounds lost per year would allow heavy metals to be safely flushed from the body.3 Hence my personal planned weight loss of 50 pounds, basically a pound a week, in the first year. Here's my rule: You just can't beat 1 pound per week! But again, remember that everyone is different. For some people a healthy and achievable rate may be less than 1 pound per week, for others it may be somewhat more. Also, understand that weight loss is not like clockwork; we're talking averages here."- Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.) "Your ancestors lifted heavy things! Next time you go grocery shopping, skip the cart and instead grab a couple of hand-held baskets. Not only will you have to set them down and pick them up every time you need to get something off a shelf, but by the end of the shopping trip you'll be carrying your gathered goodies back to camp (actually the car), just like your forefathers. Your genes will be delighted. PUTTING SAYINGS INTO ACTION What does all this mean for you in practical terms?

 "At first it was a mystery why the twenty-year-old soldier, who had been trained as a heavy equipment operator, would drive off the road. The pavement was dry. The truck left no skid marks.
Later military and police investigators had their answer: Colby had been taking three different prescription pain pills, a regimen he had begun after a dentist pulled his tooth. After a five-month probe, investigators said they believed the powerful cocktail of Darvon, Vicodin, and Tylenol with codeine may have slowed Colby's reaction time."- 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.) |

By mid-535,tne time had come to put the piers and columns to the test: constructing the arches and vaults that would toof the nave."- William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) |
 "It's often the result of what's called a "crush injury"the type of severe muscle damage you can get after being pinned in a car crash or crushed by a heavy object. Alcoholics who've had severe delirium tremens (DTs) can also have this condition.
Overexertion from such activities as marathon running or strenuous bodybuilding can also lead to this disorder. In essence, rhabdomyolysis can result from any injury, disease, or disorder that causes skeletal muscle destruction."- Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

Spider Spots Seeing a spider on your skin can certainly be terrifying, but spotting a spidery-looking mark can give you a creepy-crawly feeling as well. Medically known as spider nevi (aka spider angioma, vascular spider, and nevus araneus), these are small, abnormal clusters of blood vessels just below the skin surface." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Tips on Using Hazelnuts SELECTION AND STORAGE: If they're in the shell, choose nuts that are heavy and full. Unshelled nuts can be stored in a cool, dry place for about a month. Shelled nuts should have tight skins and nuts that are plump. They can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer, where they will keep fresh for about four months. PREPARATION AND SERVING SUGGESTIONS: The skin can be removed by toasting the nuts and then rubbing them. Hazelnuts can be roasted using a conventional oven and a cookie sheet. You can grind them by placing them in a food processor." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)
