"A number of experts have written on the importance of blood sugar levels to emotional well-being. But there's more to our sugar-sensitivity story, and it includes some crucial information that has not been widely available to the public before. This information is about the crucial importance of beta-endorphin, one of the two brain chemicals we discussed briefly at the beginning of Chapter 3. Beta-endorphin and its better-known partner, serotonin, can have dramatically positive—or negative—effects on your moods and your energy level." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"Vitamin D is a hormone system that has numerous variations or metabolites, all with varying degrees of activity and importance. This book focuses on two of these, but there are many more. Because it's not really one molecule, we can't measure its half-life precisely because it varies, depending on which one you're measuring and the situation you're measuring it in. The vitamin D measured in blood tests (25 hydroxy vitamin D3) has about a two-and-a-half-month half-life, meaning that half of it is gone in two to three months." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Therefore, both the implications of systems theory and its intrinsic logic, suggest the importance of operationalizing systemic memory predictions and putting them to empirical test. Figure 4 Graphic description of the logic of the systemic memory mechanism The importance of Replication Seeking validity, or accuracy of scientific findings, is an essential criterion for all research, especially novel and controversial research." - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)

"Neal Barnard, have validated the importance of a plant-source-only diet in the amelioration of diabetes. All we have done differently with our 21-Day+ Program is to take the next logical and common-sense step. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Society is always taken by surprise by any new example of common sense." The common sense in this case, is that we understand the power of live foods and green juice fasting to create a rapid genetic upgrade." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "JORGE VALENZUELA, SAVE THE CHILDREN There is a growing awareness in Spanish-speaking communities of the importance of prudent nutrition and of the disastrous Type-2 diabetes. I am working with John David Arnold, PhD, president of the League of United Latin American Countries (LULAC) and with Jorge Valenzuela, head of Save the Children and Mexico Executive Director, FIA, on these issues. Diabetes is the unnecessary scourge of humanity that, unless prevented, will continue to evolve in future generations until it wipes us off the face of the planet." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "The study made crystal clear the importance of all three in creating Type-2 diabetes.84 Hyperinsulinemia, a metabolic time bomb, is associated with a whole series of chronic degenerative diseases. Not only is it a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, but is linked with the rise in plasma free radicals associated with oxidative stress, which contributes to heart disease and actually decreased brain function. Cell damage resulting from elevated insulin and blood sugar levels can lead to degenerative diseases such as hypertension and cancer." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "This is a significant statement about the importance of water. Dehydration is something that may happen with age, so one of the main anti-aging treatments is drinking adequate water—about a half gallon (64 ounces) per day for a 150-pound person. On a Juice Feast, we drink 1-plus gallons of juice filtered through plants, which is one of our most precious and hydrating water sources. ALKALIZE We are constantly generating acidic waste products of metabolism that must be neutralized or excreted in some way if life is to be possible." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Harvard researchers also unshelled the importance of nuts in type 2 diabetes. They looked at the dietary habits of more than 83,000 women from the Nurses' Health Study over sixteen years and found that women who reported eating 1 ounce of nuts at least five times per week reduced their risk of type 2 diabetes by nearly 30 percent compared with women who never or rarely ate nuts. Risk was reduced by 1 6 percent in women who ate 1 to 4 ounces of nuts per week and by 8 percent among those who ate less than 1 ounce per week." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.) "Whenever my colleagues and I discuss the grave importance of aggressively treating the disease with diabetes patients or with the general public, the attitude that "well, this will happen to someone else, not me" is all too common. The stark truth, however, is that diabetes is a relentlessly progressive disease, and given enough time, complications are a virtual certainty among patients with poorly controlled diabetes unless aggressive steps are taken to reduce the risk." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"CHAPTER THREE THE importance OF DIET AND ITS ROLE IN DISEASE Today's high paced lifestyle requires both parents to work to make ends meet. Cooking a meal from scratch isn't always a priority. Very few families eat together anymore, which is a sad reflection of our times. Most people of my era recall their mother as the archetypal housewife. She prepared the family meals from scratch and tended to her children. She may have bought a loaf of bread but would not hear of buying any baked good when she was capable of making it better at home." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"In fighting for these changes, you'll also be acting as a role model for your kids and teaching them invaluable lessons about the importance of taking responsibility for the world they live in. Advocate for Organic Foods Visit your local health-food store to find a wide range of organic, environmentally safe products that are free of toxins and other threats to your child's well-being. Search your neighborhood for organic food stores and farmer's markets to purchase your produce and meats." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Most people know that vitamin D is important in absorbing calcium from food. D's importance in the formation of bone and teeth in children is also widely known. In addition, vitamin D helps you build muscle and protects your brain cells from injury or inflammation. Vitamin D slows the growth of cells—a factor that may well reduce your risk of most cancers by as much as 50 percent. Vitamin D is also crucial for fertility, glucose control, reducing high blood pressure, and ameliorating seasonal affective disorder. Vitamin D helps you fight infections and improves the effectiveness of vaccines." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Discuss the importance of drinking lots of water and avoiding fried foods. From their earliest years, equip your kids with the information necessary to make wise dietary decisions. When you go out to dinner, avoid the items on the kids' menu, which tend to be the most toxic. Instead, focus on salads and fresh vegetables. And whether at home or in a restaurant, both you and your kids should have fresh fruit as dessert. As kids grow older and become more influenced by their peers, they'll be tempted by all the junk foods that are unfortunately the dietary norm in our society." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "I cannot emphasize enough the importance of having a welcoming, clean space for family meals. By taking charge of our children's relationship with food, we can revolutionize their whole future. Chapter 4 Eating Right for Two Nothing's more important than eating a nutritious, well-balanced diet before, during, and after your pregnancy. The foods you eat can be a powerful source of good or bad, of nourishment or deprivation." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Diet and Lifestyle Throughout this book, I've discussed the importance of healthy eating and exercise habits. For me, it all comes back to the basic lifestyle choices we make and the values we impart to our children. Nowhere is the impact of these decisions more evident than during the teenage years. Kids who eat well are less likely to develop eating disorders or become overweight. These days, so many teenagers, especially teenage girls, are obsessed with having the "perfect body"—an impossible image dictated by the magazines that they read and the television shows they watch." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"This table rates the order of importance of various autism therapies, according to the opinions of parents. The parents rated the restrictions of several highly allergenic foods as being among the best possible therapies for autism. The only therapy that was considered more important was detoxification. This table shows that the worst foods for autistic kids generally are: (1) dairy products, (2) chocolate, (3) yeast-proliferating foods, and (4) the combination of gluten and casein." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "Because bowel dysbiosis is extraordinarily common among autistics and other 4-A kids, probiotics are of consummate importance. It is often simply not possible to heal kids with 4-A disorders without first healing bowel dysbiosis, which is the root cause of so many of their problems, including Candida overgrowth, leaky gut syndrome, chronic diarrhea and constipation, chronic gut infection, and malabsorption of nutrients. Probiotics are healthy bacteria that promote good digestion, and help control dysbiotic gut flora, such as Candida." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "Probiotics are of special importance for any child who has recently taken antibiotics. Antibiotics kill both good and bad gut bacteria, and can therefore destroy the healthy flora that the GI system needs. Probiotics control Candida by crowding out the yeast fungi, or by directly attacking it, with the probiotic constituent Saccharomyces boulardii. Probiotics also promote Th-1 immunity, and can help to balance a Th-2 skewed immune system. I strongly recommend that you use high-quality probiotics that contain large numbers of viable organisms." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "Therefore, of special importance to kids on the autism spectrum are enzymes that contain: Peptidases-the enzymes that help complete the breakdown of peptides. Lipase—to digest fatty acids. Amylase-to digest starch. Disaccharidases—including lactase, maltase, sucrase, and iso-maltase-which help break down sugars. (However, some people must avoid these complex sugars entirely, with the specific carbohydrate diet." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"As researchers discover more ways in which probiotics can benefit health and they become used by a wider population of people, the safety of probiotics becomes of great importance. Labeled with the stigmatism of being dirty or bad, bacteria have an uphill battle ahead of them. Wish researchers luck in convincing the general public that eating bacteria is a good idea. Luckily, there is mounting research to support the effectiveness of good bacteria and other microbes in promoting human health. There is extensive research available on the effects of probiotics in various human populations." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "Some newer infant formulas developed after the turn of the century now include probiotics and prebiotics, as the presence of probiotics early in an infant's life is recognized as having great importance in newborn health. If your child is using infant formula that does not include a probiotic or contain any prebiotics, supplements can be added to his or her formula which contain the main Bifidobacteria species known to live in healthy infants. Prebiotics for Infants?" - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Hopefully, highlighting the importance of this test will translate into more people being screened and more heart disease being prevented. The CRP test measures the concentration of this specific protein, which is produced by the liver when inflammation is present in the body. Because inflammation is a key factor in diabetes and its complications, including heart disease, knowing whether you have an abnormal CRP level is very important. Average values of CRP in the population range from 1.0 to 3.0 mg/dL, but the scientific evidence indicates that these midrange, average levels are not ideal." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"Butler and the NIA staff were acutely aware of the importance of involving the media in their quest for funding, and, thus, continued efforts were made to keep the press apprised of NIA-sponsored research results and to separate "Alzheimer's disease" from "senility," which Butler considered a "wastebasket term" that rationalized the neglect of the elderly by assuming that cognitive decline was inevitable and irreversible." - 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.)

"For Mitchell, like Schmidt, the importance of Rhine's findings would be what they appeared to show about the nature of reality. Both scientists wondered to what extent order in the universe was related to the actions and intentions of human beings. If consciousness itself created order ?or indeed in some way created the world ?this suggested much more capacity in the human being than was currently understood. It also suggested some revolutionary notions about humans in relation to their world and the relation between all living things." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "Her father had built his reputation on designing impeccable experiments, and he had taught her respect for the importance of the air-tight, well-controlled trial. She grew up believing that any sort of effect could be quantified, so long as you designed the experiment to control for variables. Indeed, Puthoff and Targ between them had demonstrated that the well-designed experiment could even prove the miraculous. The outcome was gospel, regardless of whether that outcome violated the researcher's every expectation." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"I really can't emphasize the importance of this problem enough because thyroiditis often accompanies the mixed infection syndrome, which can consist of any combination of the following: parasites, Candida, and the viral syndromes—including the Epstein-Barr virus and the cytomegalovirus. Psychological components include depression, anxiety and even panic attacks. To treat thyroiditis, I've done nutritional consults on people that were under the care of other physicians." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Tom Warren, who wrote Beating Alzheimer's, emphasized the importance of this procedure. Bio-oxidative therapies are very effective in bringing oxygen into the brain to increase the individual's ability to think. We live in an external environment with only 19 percent oxygen, when it should contain more, so we all suffer from oxygen insufficiency, Dr. Hodes says. Bio-oxidative therapies include hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy, ozone therapy, and hydrogen peroxide therapy, among others." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Michael Schachter emphasizes the importance of proper diet: "If you suffer from an anxiety disorder, you really need to clean up your diet. Getting off sugar and taking calcium and magnesium works. Also, balancing the stresses in your life, through meditation and other anxiety-reducing disciplines, is important." According to Dr. Allan Spreen, "some amino acids, when given individually can be very effective in calming down the symptoms of anxiety disorders and panic attacks. . . . Some doctors use tyrosine for depression and anxiety." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Hodes credits clinical ecologists with having made a major contribution in the treatment of people with Alzheimer's disease when they recognized the importance of four- to five-day diversified food-rotation diets. In a food-rotation diet, you eat a variety of foods and no one food more than once or twice a week—thus eliminating the food allergens to which you are generally "addicted." The rotation diet also lightens the load on your immune system." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)
