"That existence of quantum processes and energy fields in the human body is a relatively recent scientific discovery. This area of modern research is still in its infancy, but in actuality the evidence for the energetic reality of the body goes back decades, and even to antiquity if you include spiritual and metaphysical wisdom instead of only laboratory results." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "As we probe into the subatomic realm, we find that the brain, blood, and bone of the body give way to invisible forces, fields, and particles whose interactions underlie not only the human body but all of matter. Molecules give way to atoms that dissolve into subatomic particles, so that our bodies are governed not only by the laws of everyday chemistry but also by the paradoxical principles of quantum electrodynamics." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "EXPLORING THE BIOLOGICAL BODY No one knows exactly how many cells make up the human body, but the numbers are beyond imagining. At birth, your body has about ten thousand trillion cells. However, because that number decreases radically as you develop, by the time you are an adult your body contains between 50 trillion and 100 trillion cells, which can be grouped into about two hundred different types.9 It's impossible to make sense of such huge numbers. To get a handle on it, imagine you have a metronome that makes an audible click with each swing of the arm." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "Within the past few decades, scientists have found, among many other startling findings, that the body may be holographic in nature, cells in the human body emit light, immune cells have neuronlike synapses, the connective tissue of the body forms a sophisticated information network not unlike a second nervous system, muscles may store memories, 60 and water can be imprinted with information." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"What goes on is a kind of black humor that only partially mitigates the discomfort students inevitably feel as they learn to relate to the human body as a thing devoid of personhood. Dissecting a cadaver in the anatomy lab is an important medical school initiation rite, the beginning of what Byron Good, a medical anthropologist at Harvard Medical School, calls learning the "clinical gaze." The students' way of seeing the human body, at least their patients' bodies, is forever transformed." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Although the presence of ribose in genetic material makes it one of the most widespread substances in the human body, scientists were not able to find it in the blood, and it was thought that ribose might not be physiologically important in its free form. In other words, researchers were not sure that circulating ribose would be metabolized by the cells, whether it was removed from the blood or not." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Its mechanisms of action in the human body are not well understood and some have proposed that it may have carcinogenic properties.17 Calorie restriction: Less may be more Lastly, it is important to alert you to the virtues of moderate eating. Around the world, people from developed and developing countries are facing an obesity epidemic. This epidemic is driven by multiple ecological factors: •Urbanism ?Expansion of global markets ?Changing family structures ?Changing work environments ?" - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "This goes to show how astonishingly delicate a system the human body is, and, further, how challenging it is to develop therapeutic targets that won't disrupt the body's complex systems. Neurological damage is, in theory, preventable, and this should be one of the paramount goals of public-health protection." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Each has its own unique function, and yet both are very similar in that they are the carriers of what gives life—chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis and hemoglobin is the red blood cell that carries oxygen to every cell in the human body. Hemoglobin's relationship to chlorophyll is that hemoglobin is a respiring, iron-containing protein that takes the oxygen we breathe, produced by photosynthesis, for which chlorophyll is critical, and distributes it throughout our bodies." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"The Power Vision System is based on physiological reactions like SAID (Specific Adaptation to the Imposed Demand) or retinal defocus, which have important and proven effects on the human body. The SAID Principle concerns gradual bodily adaptation to specifically induced stimuli, which leads to functional and structural changes in the treated organ—in this case, the eyes and the visual system." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"A septillion chemical reactions occur every second in every tablespoon of our cells, tiny explosions that get multiplied by the 50 trillion cells of the average human body. In an experiment comparing, say, the growth rates of two sections of the body, it is almost impossible to control for every variable. Growth rates can be altered by food, water, genetics, mood, or even a sudden dip in air temperature. During our first intention experiment, Popp intended to examine the alteration in the tiny light being emitted from the algae, which was infinitely more subtle than cellular growth rate." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Definition and Biochemistry of Coenzyme Q10 Coenzyme Qiq, or ubiquinone, is a vitaminlike compound that is found in virtually every cell in the human body. Coenzyme Qio is naturally found in foods, with the most significant dietary sources coming from vegetables such as broccoli, Chinese cabbage, and spinach; nuts; ocean fish and shellfish; and meats, notably pork, chicken, and beef. Although it is widely available in the foods we eat, only about 2-5 mg per day are consumed, an insufficient amount to produce any substantial clinical benefit." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "A PRIMER ON CELLULAR ENERGY Bioenergetics is the fascinating study of energy in the human body. It takes into account not only the myriad metabolic pathways the body uses to make the energy it needs to stay alive and vital, but also the vast number of ways the cell uses energy to perform its work. The study of bioenergetics is of life-giving importance, because problems with energy utilization and synthesis are at the core of the leading causes of cardiac disease, including ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure (CHF), and cardiomyopathy (weakening of the heart muscle)." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "Both L-Carnitine and Fumaric Acid are naturally occurring substances within the Kreb's (Energy) cycle and are both normally present in living organisms, and are metabolized by the human body. In one rodent study, L-Carnitine Fumarate proved to be more bioavailable and also preserved important high-energy phosphate levels during insufficient blood flow to the animals' hearts. L-Carnitine Fumarate also blocked the production of harmful lactate and toxic fatty acids." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"This included the belief that the rock of a cave wall is a barrier to the flesh of a human body. On the other hand, the student had just been shown that there are exceptions to such "laws." The irony was that both ways of seeing the world were absolutely correct. Each depended on how someone chose to think of it in a given moment of time. I asked myself: Could the same thing be happening in our lives today? As far-fetched as this question may sound in light of our scientific knowledge and technological advances, modern scientists are beginning to describe a similar irony." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "Illustration showing the concentration of the seven energy centers that form the chakra system running vertically from the crown to the perineum of the human body. This drawing comes from an ancient Sanskrit manuscript. Emotion Defined The lower three chakras of creativity are commonly associated with our experience of emotion. When we think of these centers as pure energy, they represent the only two basic emotions that we're capable of in life: love and whatever we think of as its opposite." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Laboratory-made insulins that are similar to insulin produced by the human body. hyperesthesia—One of different changes in nerve function in extremities, expressed with numbness and tingling. hyperglycemia—See high blood glucose. hypertension—See high blood pressure. hypoglycemia—Also called low blood glucose. A condition independent of diabetes in which there is an imbalance in the endocrine system in which the blood sugar drops rapidly or too low. The problem is usually with pancreatic, adrenal, or thyroid imbalances." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The Bioenergetics' Explanation According to bioenergetics, the human body is made of "nature's armor," one or more bodily segments characterized with conditions of muscular stiffness due to emotional and mental strains. The eyes are one of these parts, especially in people who suffer from visual errors. Such chronic muscular contraction leads to staring (in the case of chronic muscular contraction in the forehead and eyelids) and to changing the normal and physiological sphere shape of the eyeball." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"This theory promotes DNA as the Renaissance man of the human body - architect, master builder and central engine room - whose tool for all this amazing activity is a handful of the chemicals which make proteins. The modern scientific view is that DNA somehow manages to build the body and spearhead all its dynamic activities just by selectively turning off and on certain segments, or genes, whose nucleotides, or genetic instructions, select certain RNA molecules, which in turn select from a large alphabet of amino acids the genetic 'words' which create specific proteins." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Calcium is the most abundant mineral found in the human body and vital to keeping bones strong. For those without calcium-rich water, yogurt, milk, and cheese are great natural sources of calcium. For dairy alternatives, try sardines, kale, and broccoli. "Dan, these people are so incredible," she answered enthusiastically. "They are so positive and so devoted to their families. All but one of the 33 Nicoyans we have met live with their family." Elizabeth was looking at me, gesticulating as we walked. "They have a wonderful support network." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Relatively new, however, is a biomonitoring process designed to measure what some experts refer to as our "body burden," or the level of toxins found in tissues of the human body, which involves the analysis of blood, urine, umbilical cord blood, and breast milk. Toxins are stored in most every tissue in the body ranging from fat, to cardiac and skeletal muscle to bones, tendons, joints, and ligaments, to visceral organs, and to the brain." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "During the past two decades I have watched the devastating effects of toxic exposure on the human body and the resulting decline in our overall digestive health because of the overwhelming number of chemicals to which we are exposed every day. Together these two factors have led to an alarming increase in chronic ailments, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity ("diobesity"), arthritis, depression, infertility, hormonal imbalances, allergies, gastrointestinal diseases, and cancer." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "FACT According to some reports, at death the human body decomposes more slowly today than just thirty years ago, thanks to all those preservatives and synthetic chemicals absorbed. FACT A Vicious Cycle: The more fat you have, the more toxins you retain. The more toxins you retain, the harder it becomes to lose weight. A simple solution: Minimize your exposure to toxins in your environment and lifestyle, and remove toxins from your body through proper detoxification methods. When excess glucose remains in the blood, insulin levels stay high." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "They are also amazed to learn that the body itself can produce harmful toxins; it's counterintuitive to think that the human body is able to create and harbor structures and substances that can lead to its self-destruction. But it can. And it will if you present the right conditions. Although environmental toxins are most certainly an important contributing factor, digestive toxins, which include those produced by harmful microbes in our gastrointestinal tracts, are an equally important, though often overlooked, source of disease in the body." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"The human pulse and blood pressure, body temperature and blood clotting, circulation of lymphocytes, hormonal cycles, and other functions of the human body all appear to ebb and flow according to some basic, recurring timetable. These rhythms are not unique to humans, but are present throughout nature, and evident even in fossils of single-cell organisms that existed millions of years ago. Initially Halberg believed that the master switch for these biological rhythms was located in certain cells of the brain or adrenal glands." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"The fact that the human body was exchanging information with a mutable field of quantum fluctuation suggested something profound about the world. It hinted at human capabilities for knowledge and communication far deeper and more extended than we presently understand. It also blurred the boundary lines of our individuality - our very sense of separateness. If living things boil down to charged particles interacting with a field and sending out and receiving quantum information, where did we end and the rest of the world begin?" - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"It was not the practice itself that fascinated these scientists, but its effect on the human body, particularly the brain, and the possibilities this suggested. By studying the biological effects in such detail, scientists hoped to understand the neurological processes that occur during feats of highly directed thought, such as the monks had displayed in the Himalayas. Monks also offered scientists an opportunity to study whether years of focused attention stretch the brain beyond its usual limits." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Each DNA helix or chromosome - and the identical twenty-six pairs exist in every one of the thousand million million cells in your body - contains a long chain of nucleotides, or bases, of four different components (shortened to ATCG) arranged in a unique order in every human body. The most favored idea is that there exists a genetic 'program' of genes operating collectively to determine shape, or, in the view of neo-Darwinists such as Richard Dawkins, that ruthless genes, like Chicago thugs, have powers to create form and that we are 'survival machines' ?" - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Zinc is pervasive, found in every tissue cell, organ and fluid in the human body, and involved in over 200 enzyme reactions in the brain. That is why we've taken a great interest in what zinc does in the brain that might be of therapeutic value to people with various kinds of neurological psychiatric conditions. We've learned that when humans are placed on zinc-deficient diets, they develop eating disorders." People who are obese have been found to have lower zinc levels than nonobese people. Dr." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Twenty-nine percent of the zinc in the human body is in skeletal muscle; only 1 percent is in heart muscle tissue. But when, unfortunately, the body starts to scavenge zinc out of heart muscle tissue, it starts to damage the heart. A weakened heart can result in bradycardia, tachycardia, arrhythmias and eventual heart failure. It is particularly dangerous in patients who are recovering from anorexia—the muscle tissue in their hearts has been damaged and taking on weight puts extra pressure on the heart. That is how the singer Karen Carpenter died." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)
