"Although heart disease almost invariably gets worse, even when patients follow the American Heart Association recommendations, most of our patients have shown actual reversal of their disease, and the vast majority have shown measurable improvement in many areas—improved physical function on exercise tests, improved blood flow to the heart muscle, improved mood and sense of vitality, improved cholesterol levels, improved blood pressure, improved sleep patterns, and improved social function." - John Robbins, Food Revolution: How your diet can help save your life and our world (Get the book.)

"In addition, though, it does provide specific benefits, such as: • Extremely powerful memory enhancement and improved cognitive performance • Supports the adrenals • A strong antifatigue agent • Of significant benefit in rheumatologic and connective tissue disorders such as rheumatism, osteoarthritis, scleroderma, psoriasis, lupus, and spondylitis • Repair of the myelin sheath structure • improved immunity • Reduced PMS and menopausal symptoms • And it just makes you "feel" really good Use of pregnenolone has shown no serious side effects even at very high doses of up to 700 mg." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"And what of those, perhaps ones dear to us, who have received an organ transplant which improved the quality and quantity of their lives? What about emergency surgery? Were a loved one battered in an automobile wreck, we would not question the need for immediate surgery. Such surgery is the subject of the following chapter. In this chapter, we have what is probably a sampling problem. Though we have examined the most frequently performed surgeries, we have nonetheless ignored the vast bulk of routine surgery. Are these myriad procedures effective? It is difficult to say." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"The quality of care neither improved nor deteriorated under managed care. The stories about patients being rushed through doctors' offices turned out not to be true (like the myth of the estate tax causing the loss of the family farm). An article published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that between 1989 and 1998, the frequency with which people saw their doctors did not change. There was no shortening of visits for managed care patients for either primary or specialty care visits; in fact, the duration of doctor visits actually increased by one to two minutes." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"For much of the history of HRT, it was believed that HRT prevented heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis and that it improved well-being, sexuality, memory, and mood. However, there were some early indications from the Nurses' Health Study, published in 1995, that there was a 32% increase in breast cancer with HRT. Nevertheless, a great deal of marketing was done on behalf of HRT, and pharmaceutical companies made billions of dollars by arguing that all postmenopausal women needed to take it to maintain their good health." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"DETOXIFICATION The process of removing wastes and toxic acid stores from the body is fundamental and absolutely necessary in our pursuit of improved health and vitality. When the body's needs are being adequately supplied on a continual basis, it detoxifies naturally, as a matter of course. However, when there is a buildup of toxins from years of depriving the body of what it requires, and from abusing it with toxic foods, drinks, chemicals, drugs, smoke, and other stressors, it needs assistance to clean out and reverse degenerating disease conditions." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Black called my office to report that his elbow pain had not improved and to request a referral to an orthopedic surgeon. I was frustrated that he was still unwilling to do the simple things necessary to protect his elbow from the consequences of more stress than it had been designed to withstand, but I did not want to put either of us through a repeat of the last visit. If I wanted to preserve the potential of our relationship's being helpful in the future, my only option was to acquiesce, once again. The orthopedist confirmed the obvious diagnosis of tendonitis with an MRI and sent Mr." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Genetic engineering can create virus-resistant and protein-rich plants, improved breeds of animals, vast supplies of animal proteins, and microorganisms capable of producing proteins and hormones and improving photosynthesis, but it can also produce lethal biological weapons and pathogenic microorganisms and destroy the diversity and the balance of nature." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "As these changes take hold, the improved social order—governed by more adapted values, worldviews, and ethics—establishes itself. Society stabilizes itself in its changed condition. Just as in nature, the first phase of society's Macroshift is triggered by the destabilization of the previously dominant system. But, unlike in nature, in the human world this occurs not because of external factors (such as the emergence of other species or other changes in the milieu) but through internal, self-created changes—changes in the way people Time Fig. 6." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Thirty days of eating great, exercising, and getting enough sleep, compared to three, four, or fifteen years of medication, sounds like a wonderful prospect to me. improved health comes easier than you once thought, and with wellness comes the clarity to be productive in work and the energy to enjoy playtime to the fullest. The diet and exercise regimen are at the core of the cure, but I'd like to offer you some additional treatments to reinforce your child's and your family's health." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "I'm very familiar with the school of thought and the many books that say that rewarding children for improved behavior isn't good for them. I couldn't disagree more. In the real world, improving behavior at a job, in school, or anywhere else results in job promotions, good grades, friendships, and more. As we create this framework for helping our kids with ADD/ADHD, we should certainly incorporate real-world strategies, including tangible rewards to go with our words of praise and our children's feelings of accomplishment." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"His T-factor improved from 3-4 to 1-2. This is also an important finding, as T-factors indicate tumor diameter, and a T-factor 3 indicates a tumor more than two centimeters with potential spread into blood vessels. His N-factor changed 0-1 to 0. This was also good, since N-factor 1 indicates the tumor has metastasized to the lymph nodes. In other words, his metastasis had been halted. In a second clinical case, a 56-year-old female was diagnosed with stage III liver cancer with a serum bilirubin reading of 3.5 mg/dL, albumin of 2.8 g/dl, and prothrombin activation of only 48 percent." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"By selecting superior fruit, and growing these cultivars, eating quality improved. The Enlightenment's inquiries into the natural world yielded numerous treatises on fruit growing. Cabinets of curiosity, including Ulisse Aldrovandi's celebrated Wunderkammem and Francesco Calzo-lari's Museum Calceolarium, featured fruits amid myriad other naturalia. By the late Renaissance, writes historian Ken Albala, "Italians were clearly crazy about fruit in any form." Soon enough, European medics started suggesting that fruits might actually be healthy." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"One reason for the recent negative findings, he asserted, is that since his original study, "psychosocial support for patients with cancer has improved substantially." Therefore, all patients, even those in control groups, are "less likely now to be emotionally isolated during their illness." It is well-documented that the "secrecy that surrounded cancer in the medical practice of yesteryear undermined rather than enhanced the patient's well being." Thus, one would expect fewer differences between experimental and control groups." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) "Not many are improved. An entire culture has come to rely on drugs to keep them happy. Thus, our conclusion: were psychiatry and its related disciplines and professions to disappear, not much would change, at least in terms of mortality and morbidity. 7 Ml N D-BODY in which we explore the strange world of placebos and mind-body medicine, and explore the possibility of an expanded medical model Recall our discussion from chapter 1, in which we decided to disappear mind-body medicine along with the other major specialties." - Gerald E.

"The sensitivity of this receptor to insulin can be improved by chromium. Insulin binds to the insulin receptor in the cell membrane to activate the receptor, as seen in Figure 13-4. The activation of the insulin receptor enables glucose and chromium to enter the cell. Chromium binds to the insulin receptor and enhances its activity. With available chromium, more glucose enters the cell. This is how chromium availability helps to relieve impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) "Large doses of lecithin have improved memory, but have not been helpful with Alzheimer's disease. Without choline to make lecithin, the liver cannot rid itself of fats and cholesterol. This can lead to a condition known as "fatty liver." Choline is needed for liver health and liver damage results from deficiency. Some choline is oxidized in the body to a metabolite known as betaine. Betaine supplies methyl groups for various methylation reactions. One of these methylation reactions results in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"The experience of improved digestion, well being and reduced shoulder pain or reflux will make the procedure well worth it. If your problems aren't long-standing, you may then be back to normal and one flush might be all you need. • 2005: The Digestive Awareness Diet: You May Need Additional Flushes The normal feeling after a Gallbladder Flush is a wonderful sense of well-being and clear headedness. You will find yourself much more in tune with your eating habits, and your digestion will be markedly improved." - John K. Pollard, The Digestive Awareness Diet: You Are HOW You Eat (Get the book.)

"At the four-week evaluation, the average total ADHD score had improved significantly more in the children given zinc compared with the children given a placebo. Specifically, the zinc-treated children had significantly greater improvement in scores on hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and impaired socialization scales than the children given the placebo. At the twelve-week evaluation, the improvement in the zinc group was even more pronounced. Let's stop overmedicating our kids and start looking for the root causes of conditions like ADHD." - 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.)

"Its flavor has improved since the afternoon—it seems to be at its apex of ripeness. The taste is somehow familiar, yet elusive. With every bite I try to place the flavor. Then it hits me: Froot Loops! Tasting it triggers a recollection of how, as a child, I'd use my allowance to buy boxes of Froot Loops. I'd sneak away and covertly eat bowlfuls in bed under the covers while reading Archie by flashlight. Soon all that remains is the skeleton of a chempedak at my feet. I've eaten it all, my hands tearing it apart, the fleshy globules offering themselves to me." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Only through human cultivation were fruits improved and selected for desirable characteristics: smaller seeds, increased flesh and refined eating quality. This discredits the assumption that wild fruits are tastiest—in truth, uncultivated varieties are often inedible. The wild peach is an acrid pea-sized pellet. Feral bananas are filled with tooth-shattering seeds. Untamed pineapples are full of gritty pebbles. Sweet oranges only arrived in the Mediterranean basin in the late 1400s. Corn is believed to have evolved from a minuscule grain called teosinte, slightly bigger than an earwig." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Durette claims that fruits improved his vision to such an extent that, after becoming a fruitarian, he was able to pass his driver's license eye exam without glasses for the first time. Fruitarians "have better looks," says instructor Inez Matus, who says she went from legally blind to 20/20 vision. Female fruitarians talk of their bodies becoming "so chic" that they experience increased male attention." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Again, even if medication is needed, the nutritional changes, exercise, improved sleep habits, and limit-setting described in this book will make the dose of medication smaller and the side effects minimal. The diagnosis of ADD/ADHD puts the entire family through long periods and great amounts of unneeded stress, and the failure of treatments based on prescription drugs affects not only the child, who thinks he or she has failed, but also parents, caregivers, and siblings." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"He had improved enormously. He no longer had the "haze" over his eyes. He was bright and cheery. He was no longer fatigued and didn't suffer anymore from fits of irritability and feeling sick. His stomachaches, headaches, dizziness, and blackouts were gone. Nonetheless, Jeb continued to suffer from persistent problems that are almost certainly residual drug effects. He easily forgets things, has to be given lists, and must study harder than he used to. His mother and grandmother explained that Jeb previously had a "photographic memory." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Major research done by NASA's Molecular Biophysics Laboratory showed that performance, work capacity, allergic conditions, pains, healing and burn recovery were all improved in negatively ionised air. Small, inexpensive ionisers are now available from pharmacies, health food outlets and electrical stores. Surfaces around the ionisers need to be cleaned regularly to avoid discoloration from the matter they attract." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) "For two years they followed a regulated swimming programme and complementary Controlled Pattern Breathing regime, and their asthma improved remarkably. Their reliance on puffers has been reduced so much that they now only carry them for psychological support. DIET Eating Well Means Good Health Microscopic, yet potentially lethal, organisms invade us throughout our lives. Harmful bacteria and viruses can be found in or on almost everything we eat, drink, breathe or touch. Our immune system, which consists of special cells within the body, recognises and fights these marauding invaders." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)
