"Bowed legs ? Rickets • Curvature of the spine ? Paralysis of the legs Seizures Convulsions Thyroid abscesses Cyanosis of the liver and kidneys ? Enlarged colon • Degeneration of motor nerves throughout the brain and spine And by the third generation, this group could not reproduce • Studies done with laboratory rats have shown that rats eating raw foods live about 30% longer than rats eating diets devoid of enzymes. • Then there's the fact that the classic Eskimo diet consists of 80% saturated fat? That's 80% saturated fat (primarily from raw fat and raw meat)!" - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Consider the following examples of medical anomalies: þ A woman suffering from the debilitating effects of decades of multiple sclerosis (MS) is confined to a wheelchair, her legs structurally deformed so that she can stand upright or walk a few steps 12 only while in full leg braces. Her pain worsens until her doctors are forced to sever the tendons to her kneecaps. Over time, some of the tissues and nerves of her legs become irretrievably impaired, her right kneecap slips off center, and her ankles and feet become paralyzed." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"But classical physics or biology could not account for such fundamental issues as how we can think in the first place; why cells organize as they do; how many molecular processes proceed virtually instantaneously; why arms develop as arms and legs as legs, even though they have the same genes and proteins; why we get cancer; how this machine of ours can miraculously heal itself; and even what knowing is ?how it is that we know what we know. Scientists might understand in minute detail the screws, bolts, joints and various wheels, but nothing about the force that powers the engine." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"In one study, the walking capacity of patients with intermittent claudication—a painful cramping sensation in the muscles of the legs due to decreased oxygen supply—improved significantly when they were given oral L-carnitine. In another study, patients with peripheral arterial disease of the legs were able to increase their walking distance by ninety-eight meters when supplemented with carnitine, almost twice what those given a placebo were able to do. Congestive heart failure patients have experienced an increase in exercise endurance on only 900 mg of carnitine per day." - 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.)

"One of the main causes of death in airplanes is dehydration, which causes clots in the legs, which then can migrate to the lungs as pulmonary embolisms. It is estimated by some scientific sources that 75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated. In 37 percent of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak from the dehydration that it is mistaken for hunger. In fact, one of the best ways to lose weight is to drink water when you are hungry. One glass of water at bedtime can shut down midnight hunger pangs for close to 100 percent of dieters." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"It's successful because the patient's anomalous tissue growths on her legs have suddenly disappeared. It's mysterious because, while she was told that she was being administered a new treatment that would cure her condition, in reality all she received was tap water mixed with a colored dye. She was part of a double-blind experiment where she and other patients with similar conditions were randomly selected and informed that a brand-new "breakthrough" treatment would be applied. Some received the real medicine, and some were simply given the colored water." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"The Final Stretches The last stretch of the workout is intended for legs and shoulders?muscles that get tight when you sit for prolonged periods. Stretching your calves may help you reduce foot and heel pain when you're also improving your diet and vitamin D level. Stretching your thigh muscles helps to "unload" the knee for those of you who get pain behind the kneecap after a long period of sitting. The final stretch also just feels good. Stretching Your Calves 1. Stand facing a wall, about 2 feet away from the wall. 2." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Georgia had muscle cramps in her legs and feet. Even pain medications and physical therapy hadn't helped. Two decades earlier, Georgia had reported depression; her doctor thought this problem was probably a spin-off of her divorce. Ten years later, with a new diagnosis of fibromyalgia, she sought help at a pain management center. Several medications and injections later, though, Georgia was still in pain, but as she put it, "I decided I'd just live with my problems. I don't like to take drugs because they cloud my thinking." But her poor health didn't let up." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "MARTIN'S PAIN We saw an eleven-year-old African American boy, Martin, who had a three-year history of pain in his legs, arms, hands, ankles, and feet, with no swelling. He had worse pain in the winter but felt better in the summer (he spent summers in Mississippi). His muscles and bones hurt, especially in the shins. But he was healthy overall. Martin had MHAQ scores of 0.875-50-50-70-7 (function, pain, fatigue, health perception, sleep); in the morning, he felt stiff for about half an hour. Lab tests revealed a vitamin D level of 11, normal PTH, and normal calcium." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "I developed muscle cramps in my legs, sleep disturbances, and fatigue. I gained weight. Just like my patients, I wondered why my body was starting to turn on me. I was relatively young. What was happening? Now that I was the patient, I began to field theories for my health troubles. First, I suspected that my four decades of life were simply taking their toll or that my gene pool was kicking in. But I had no family history of arthritis or the other symptoms I was having. I wondered if some environmental factor was causing my health to go bad." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Fluid buildup in the lower legs and congestion in the lungs and the space around the heart may also occur. This is because the pumping ability of the heart depends on the functional capacity of the myocardial cells to expand and contract. In congestive heart failure, there are insufficient myocardial contractile forces in the heart muscle. In other words, the heart is not strong enough to pump blood out of the heart, which "backs up" the blood in the lungs and lower extremities, explaining why it becomes congested. The heart struggling with CHF is literally energy starved." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Nerve damage associated with diabetes that usually affects the feet and legs. peritoneal dialysis—A mechanical way to clean the blood of people with kidney disease. plaque—A film of mucus that traps bacteria on the surface of the teeth. Plaque can be removed with daily brushing and flossing of teeth. polydipsia—Great thirst that lasts for long periods of time. polyphagia—Great hunger. polyunsaturated fats—Fat that comes from vegetables, polyuria—Excessive, frequent urination. protein—One of the three main classes of food. (Fats and carbohydrates are the other two." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Such a procedure is aimed at allowing the injured person to walk on his legs again. Sometimes he's also given a pair of crutches to support his body weight and to make walking easier, until his leg is completely healed and the injured person is able to walk again. Keep in mind: The crutches are to be used until the leg is healed and walking is restored—but not beyond that point. This does not happen in healing the sight by prescribing and wearing minus-lens glasses. Try to imagine a person who goes through a bad time and notices that his sight is getting worse." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"The most common type of neuropathy is peripheral, which mainly affects the feet and legs, oxidative stress: A condition in which the production of free radicals exceeds the activity of antioxidants, which attempt to destroy them or render them inactive." - 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.) "In diabetes, complications include blindness; loss of toes, feet, or legs; kidney failure; as well as a much greater risk of certain cancers, heart attack, and stroke. In fact, for those patients with diabetes who do little or nothing to reduce the risk of these complications, diabetes-related problems are a near certainty, not a theoretical possibility. The good news is that you can take steps today to ensure a future without diabetic complications or one in which the risk of developing the devastating complications of diabetes is greatly minimized." - 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.) "Focal Neuropathy Focal neuropathy is an often unpredictable and painful condition in which specific nerves, usually in the head, torso, or legs, become painful and/or weak. Symptoms may include paralysis on one side of the face (Bell's palsy), double vision, eye pain, or severe pain in one area, such as the leg, chest, or lower back. This form of neuropathy is not particularly common in diabetic neuropathy, but it can occur. Prevention and Treatment of Diabetic Neuropathy There are several important steps you need to take to prevent and treat diabetic neuropathy. ?" - Steven V.

"Muscle aches, leg cramps, or twitchy legs. • Cognitive problems, including poor focus, poor memory, or brain fog. • Emotional problems, including depression, anxiety, or anger, accompanied by associated behaviors. • Lethargy, or low stamina. • Insomnia, restless sleep, feelings of distress while trying to sleep, or chronic bedwetting. • Excess salivation, spitting during speech, or drooling. • Negative behavioral symptoms associated with autism and ADHD, including hyperactivity, disassociative behavior, stim-ming, or tantrums." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "Sometimes Paul drifted into what seemed to be his own mental purgatory, standing for hours in front of a running faucet on his spindly, weak legs, mesmerized by the water, acting almost as if he were high on drugs. Lynne and Wesley began to alternate on what they called Paul Duty. One would work or do chores while the other was on Paul Duty, then they'd switch, fall into bed, and wait for Paul to wake up screaming. Another month crept by, then another." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Toes in both feet had been amputated, he was suffering neurological degeneration in the legs, paresthesia in arms and hands, he had received one kidney transplant and the other one was beginning to fail. He took proteolytic enzymes for six months. Circulation improved and the regimen saved his toes and foot from amputation. His need for insulin dropped to none. His neuropathy disappeared, which I hypothesize is secondary to fibrosis in the nerve trunks, or poor circulation due to inflammation. His kidneys began to function again." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Fluid builds up in the legs and lungs, until finally the heart itself becomes congested with blood because it's no longer strong enough to move it forward and out into circulation. Obviously, this is a grave situation. Hearts in congestive heart failure are energy starved. There is a dysfunction in cardiac energy recycling in these hearts and the cardiac energy pool is depleted. Loss of energy levels in CHF is slow and progressive, with CHF patients losing about 0.35 percent of the total energy pool per day until over 25 percent is lost." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Giving legs to Restless Legs: A Case Study of How the Media Helps Make People Sick Public Library of Science Medicine Journal, April 11, 2006 Steven Woloshin and Lisa M. Schwartz In a recent study Woloshin and Schwartz reviewed media coverage of "restless leg syndrome" over a two-year period of time. The researchers concluded "The news coverage of restless leg synd rome is disturbing. It exaggerated the prevalence of disease and the need for treatment, and failed to consider the problems of overdiagnosis. In essence, the media seemed to have been co-opted into the disease-mongering process." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"In one study, 323 patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease and claudication (cramping and/or pain in the extremities, usually the legs, due to poor circulation) were followed for an average of twenty months and the occurrence of ischemic stroke and/or carotid revascularization (clearing the atherosclerotic plaque from the carotid artery) was recorded. Over the twenty-month period, 35 of the 323 patients suffered a stroke and/or underwent a carotid revascularization procedure. Patients with serum magnesium levels in the lowest one-third of those tested had a 3." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"To make this concept completely clear—even to the nonspecialist reader—let me say this: a treadmill carrying a still person (one who was not moving his legs) from one side to the other would hardly ever stimulate the person's locomotion and walking. Running or walking with increasingly heavier ballast, on the contrary, stimulates one's physiological abilities to a large degree. What hinders might strengthen, what helps might destroy, bringing about an undesired adaptation of a physiological system. Such a principle explains the behavior of most physiological systems." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"Besides these verbalized intentions, Ali carried out mental intentions by rehearsing every moment of the fight in his head: the fatigue in his legs, the sweat pouring off his body, the pain to his kidneys, the bruises on his face, the flash of the photographers, the exultant screams of the crowd, even the moment when the referee lifts his arm in victory against Frazier. He sent an intention to his body to win and his body responded by following orders." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"I had hair loss, skin problems, nail-biting problems and aches all over my body, especially in my legs. Dr. Spreen got me on a vitamin regimen, which made me feel somewhat better. Then, last summer, he put me on very low doses of thyroid and immediately—within two to three weeks—all the problems were gone. I'd had thyroid checks three times while I was being treated for infertility, and the blood tests had always come up negative. But I knew that my family had thyroid problems. At least six members that I can think of have thyroid disorders, but mine just never showed up on tests." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "In more severe cases, patients become disabled by twitches, spasms and other abnormal movements of any muscle groups, including those of the neck, shoulders, back, arms and legs, and hands and feet. The muscles of respiration and speech can also 134 be impaired. In the worst cases, patients thrash about continually. "Despite this tragic situation, psychiatrists too often fail to give proper warning to patients and their families. Often psychiatrists fail to notice that their patients are suffering from tardive dyskinesia, even when the symptoms are flagrant." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Other symptoms include impaired ability to hear, talk, or speak clearly; difficulty writing, reading or seeing clearly; red earlobes or cheeks; wriggly legs; and dark circles under their eyes. "If you suspect that your child may have been exposed to neurotoxic substances—those that actually damage the nervous system—ask your doctor to send you to specialists who can tell you whether the nerve conduction time in your child's body is normal or not," Dr. Rapp says. "They can do a variety of blood tests to find out if the chemicals that are in the carpets and the adhesives are in the blood." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "My back ached, veins in my legs hurt, I felt ill after ingesting most foods?especially dairy—and yearned to wear normal-sized clothing. I joined a support group as size 24 to 26. Applying myself to the protocol, feeling centered with a new sense of values, I soon said "no" easily and lost seventy-five pounds, to size 18.1 am vegan today, use the protocol, and enjoy the world of real food, delicious tastes, and an athletic life in a healthy, attractive body. I volunteer in needy countries where my nursing skills help me help other people, bringing positive, vital energy." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Avoid the fattier cuts of meat such as bacon, beef ribs, chicken and turkey legs, fatty pork chops, fatty pork roasts, lamb chops, leg of lamb, pork ribs, pork sausage, and T-bone steak. Wild game can also be an excellent source of lean proteins without added fats and fillers typically found in farm-raised animals. TIP Avoid or minimize use of table salt. Use unprocessed sea salt sparingly or try an herbal salt such as organic Herbamare (contains sea salt, kelp, garlic, onion, chives, parsley, celery, leek, cress, and thyme)." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)
