 "The first of these is intuition, the bird's eye of her ever busy love.... Were this intuition fixed and educated, it would readily pass into stable medical sight. Her fine sense animated by this, might soon eclipse the corresponding organism in the man in several fields of diagnosis....31
Homeopathy had much to gain from recruiting women. For example, as he recited these stereotypes of femininity and invited women into the homeopathic profession, Wilkinson also claimed for homeopathy the purity that had become a 'feminine' trait."- Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.) |
 "Mindfulness and Intuition
Generally, when creativity is being discussed, these mindful qualities come up under other names. Take intuition, for example. A scientist exercising intuition is very likely to be breaking loose from old mindsets and categories, or paying attention to the meaning of a surprise result.
Just as it is easier to get a grasp on mindfulness by first describing its opposite, intuition is most easily defined by comparing it to rational thought or logic. "It is by logic that we prove. It is by intuition that we discover," said the mathematician Henri Poincare."- Ellen J. Langer, Mindfulness (Get the book.) |
 "They are said to assist self esteem, enhance intuition and creativity, increase vitality and energy, help emotional balance, release negative beliefs and thoughts and enhance survival skills in crises. All these are ideal attitudes for someone with asthma to develop, so they can confidently and positively take control of their condition.
Although 50 preparations are available, below are listed just a few particularly recommended to create harmony, better health and well being for asthmatics. bauhinia For those resistant to change, rigid, annoyed."- Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) |

 "This kind of constant interaction might account for intuition or creativity - and how ideas come to us in bursts of insight, sometimes in fragments but often as a miraculous whole. An intuitive leap might simply be a sudden coalescence of coherence in The Field.
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."- Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) |
 "The premise for using these nontraditional treatments has to be rational and based on logic—or better yet, actual evidence— rather than simply on intuition. The treatment cannot be dangerous, and it cannot bankrupt the patient.
To these rules, I add the Natelson Six-Week Rule: I give a treatment six weeks to show that it helps. If after six weeks, the person isn't sure whether the treatment worked, I stop it. Discipline and medical common sense require that there be minimal uncertainty as to a treatment's efficacy, especially when drugs are involved."- Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) |
 "When we speak of people's intuition about the likelihood that investments will do well or poorly and their own decisions to invest, we are speaking of their innermost thoughts—thoughts that they do not have to explain or justify to others. Patterns of thought referred to as "magical thinking" or "quasi-magical thinking" by psychologists are likely to play a role. People have occasional feelings that certain actions will make them lucky even if they know logically that the actions cannot have an effect on their fortunes."- Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) |
 "Sometimes, intuition and logic point strongly to an answer that has not yet been proven through the scientific method. There are some classic examples in medical history. In the mid-nineteenth century, for instance, an English physician named John Snow removed the handle from the Broad Street pump in London because he was convinced that somehow the shared water was causing a devastating cholera epidemic. He was right. It was many decades later that science identified the waterborne organism that causes cholera, but Dr. Snow intuited what the problem was, and he saved the town."- Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) |
 "People speak about intuition as a "gut instinct" or "gut feeling." Certain researchers have even referred to the gut as a "second brain."25 Radin wondered if a gut instinct was accompanied by an actual physical effect.
Radin and Schlitz gathered 26 student volunteers, paired them, and this time wired them up to an electrogastrogram (EGG), which measures the electrical behavior of the gut; monitors on the skin usually closely match the frequencies and contractions of the stomach."- Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "The left side was depicted as the "accountant," responsible for logical, analytical, linear thinking, and speech; and the right side as the "artist," providing spatial orientation, musical and artistic ability, and intuition. But Peter Fen-wick, consultant neuropsychiatrist at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford and the Institute of Psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital, gathered evidence to show that speech and many other functions are produced in both sides of the brain and that the brain works best when it can operate as a totality." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |
 "Yet their belief is based on faith in science or clinical intuition more than a reasonable and simple extrapolation of existing knowledge. Many like the colleague mentioned earlier, as well as the one I referred to at the outset of Chapter 2, realize we have created a mythical "monster" that now terrorizes people around the world and distorts our health-care spending."- 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.) "The key is to trust your intuition: •Do you feel you're being listened to? •Do you feel there is a satisfactory give-and-take? ?Can you continue developing a trusting relationship with your doctor as you age? I often say that a good doctor is one who gives you twenty minutes and makes it seem like an hour, while a bad doctor makes ten minutes seem like five. A good doctor should always ask you if you have questions at the very end. Be prepared to take advantage of that, while remaining respectful of the fact that the doctor may have another patient waiting." - 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.) |
 "I encouraged Fran to follow the voice of her own heart, and keep using that intuition to guide her to healing therapies that I might not know about.
These suggestions not only helped Fran physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. The most important aspect of her eventual healing was the reinstallation of hope and reinforcement of faith in her intuitive belief that she could help cure her disease by mobilizing her own internal energies. It is true that getting well requires that the physician and the patient share in the healing process."- Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) |
 "I wake, wondering if this lucidly sensed intuition could be valid. I didn't think the symbolism into being; I simply knew each necklace was a year in their marriage, but there were only seven necklaces.
Their marriage? It lasts seven years, then dissolves.
False Awakenings truly Happen
Though the implications of the occasional independent agent and forward-looking lucid dream both troubled and intrigued me, something relatively simple shook me much more deeply. Lucid dreamers call it the "false awakening."- Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) |
 "If you do this, you may be surprised at how much progress you can achieve by relying mostly on just common sense, mother's intuition, careful observation, and perseverance.
Finding a Doctor
To perform the tests, you will need the assistance of a physician.
The best possible choice would be a physician associated with Defeat Autism Now, because these are the doctors who have expertise in the biomedical treatment of the 4-A disorders. Many of them are brilliant clinicians who will someday probably be remembered as the pioneers of an important medical movement."- Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) |
| "References were made to "intuition," "gut feeling," "historical evidence and common sense," or "market psychology." Mentions
of concrete facts or references to explicit theories were rare, even among the institutional investors.
These intuitive feelings about the future course of the market were extremely important for the course of the stock market crash, for apparently it was these intuitive judgments that set the anchors that stopped the price decline." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) |
 "Before the advent of modern medicine, the family was dependent on a mother's
XV intuition accompanied by her time-honored remedies as the first line of defense in preserving the family's health and well-being. Going to see the doctor at the first sniffle, cough, or other sign of distress used to be "Plan B," not "Plan A." But as utilization of modern medicine increased, the focus on using food as medicine declined."- David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) |
 "But he insisted that something was wrong and followed his intuition. Further tests showed that Clinton indeed had acute coronary artery disease (CAD), meaning severe blockage of the coronary arteries that feed the heart. He could have dropped dead at any minute. He chose to have bypass surgery.
Classic Cardiac Symptoms
These symptoms are not 100 percent gender-specific. Women generally experience more vaguely defined symptoms than men."- Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) "Since symptoms can frequently be different and not the textbook presentation we quickly diagnose and treat in men, we encourage women to tune in to their intuition when they realize something is wrong. Act immediately. Avoid denial and don't rationalize symptoms. Remember that the leading cause of death and disability in women is heart disease and stroke. You and Your Doctor We are both information hounds. We regularly attend medical conferences and talk to researchers and clinicians in the fields of cardiology, nutrition, and environmental medicine." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) |
 "For me, personally, researching this book has redoubled my enthusiasm for the benefits of exercise and replaced intuition with hard, scientific fact.
As an illustration of just how new this territory is, I'll go back to the story of neurogenesis, the once-heretical theory that the brain grows new nerve cells throughout life. "Ten years ago people weren't even convinced that it happened," says neurologist Scott Small. It was at his Columbia University lab, in 2007, where they
The Regimen
Build Your Brain witnessed telltale signs of neurogenesis for the first time in live humans. "- John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) |
 "Suggestions follow in this chapter, but you can use your own imagination and parental intuition to custom-design a method for your own family
The "Game" Method for Managing ADD/ADHD
One creative method suggested by many ADD/ADHD experts is to create a chart or a board game with spaces that players can advance along toward the finish line. To liven up the spirit of entertainment, you can use the game board of one of your child's favorite games or create your own based on a theme that you know your child will love."- Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) |
| "They change and inspire us, especially when we encounter individuals who, by their own personal strength, intuition, and character, are able to endure and thrive despite extreme physical difficulties and the constrictions of "official" medicine.
One such person was Fran, who came to one of us (Dr. Sinatra) in her quest for a "health coach" to assist her with an expanded self-care program. Fran believed that a positive attitude was central to self-healing. She also knew intuitively that she had die ability to help heal her own heart." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) |
 "It came in the form of spiritual visions, intuition, and thousands of years of observation. Observing the behavior of ill and injured animals, they learned which plants the animals consumed to heal themselves. From these sources as well as from guidance of the Great Spirit, Kitche Manitou, they amassed a wealth of knowledge and passed it down from generation to generation.
"The Ojibway believe that all plants, as creations of the Great Creator, express their own unique identity."- Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) |
 "This was clinical intuition. The question was, could it be validated objectively in a clinical study? To find out, Friedman and Rosenman and two colleagues studied forty accountants for six months: three months before April 15 (the date when tax returns must be filed in the United States) and three months after that date. Every two weeks, these physicians measured their subjects' cholesterol levels and the speed with which their blood clotted (rapid clotting was considered a risk factor for heart disease). Sure enough, by late March and early April, both had increased significantly."- Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) |
| "The tearoom, called "the abode of fancy," is an ephemeral structure built to enclose a moment of poetic intuition. Called too "the abode of vacancy," it is devoid of ornamentation. Temporarily it contains a single picture or flower-arrangement. The teahouse is called "the abode of the unsymmetrical": the unsymmetrical suggests movement; the purposely unfinished leaves a vacuum into which the imagination of the beholder can pour.
The guest approaches by the garden path, and must stoop through the low entrance." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) |
 "Detecting and reading such sensations are core elements of your intuition. On a physical level, your body is continually registering millions of sensations and sending data to your brain, but only a small percentage gets through to the conscious level. When we push ourselves to become more aware of these messages, we take advantage of the great wisdom they offer.
If you want to use your body as a compass to what you love, notice when your body gives you a positive message, like a spread of warmth through your belly, a feeling of lightness, a glow, or a tingling."- Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.) |
| "My own logic and intuition strongly suggested that the converse might also be true: reducing fat in the diet might make coronary artery disease cease to progress—and even partially reverse. In fact, this had been demonstrated in monkeys. They had acquired the disease after being fed a diet deliberately loaded with fat; when the dietary fat was reduced, their disease had reversed.5 There was no doubt in my mind that further research into the nutrition-disease connection was well worth the effort." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) |
 "It honors the best live-food nutritional research, and simultaneously allows for your own intuition about what you need in your cuisine to individualize your diet. The way to understand how to do this is in terms of the approximately 1 pound of leafy greens I suggest you eat each day, which until a few moments before reading this chapter sounded impossible.
The Four Means approach can be done with basic kitchen utensils?a knife, cutting board, spoon, spatula, nut mylk bag, and a high-speed blender like a Vita-Mix or K-Tec."- Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) |
 "In this new time the people's hearts were open, their intuition was honored, they recognized the divine in all living things, they lived in a sustainable way without greed, they no longer oppressed others, and there was no war. The people heard these stories and they were pleased. One small boy looked to the elder plant spirit and said, "But how do we do this?" Then all the plant spirits began to teach the people how to live co-creatively so that a new paradigm could emerge. The people took the teachings of the plant spirits and they went home and began to practice them."- Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
| "She is blessed alike to the simple and to the wise; for behind her vow there lies a profound intuition, world-redeeming, world-sustaining. The pause on the threshold of Nirvana, the resolution to forego until the end of time (which never ends) immersion in the untroubled pool of eternity, represents a realization that the distinction between eternity and time is only apparent—made, perforce, by the rational mind, but dissolved in the perfect knowledge of the mind that has transcended the pairs of opposites." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) |
