"An article in life sciences said a "striking anti-cancer action of IPg has been demonstrated." Many people have already enjoyed prolonged survival rates and sometimes seemingly miraculous recovery from metastatic cancer using IPg, and health professionals are viewing IP^ with inositol as a powerful tool of prevention for reducing cancer risk." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"We may well come to find that this apparent "disconnect" in heart/belief/reality is a direct result of the life sciences lagging behind the most exciting discoveries of our day-discoveries that have invalidated the principles on which those disciplines were based. There's a hierarchy of understanding that all science must conform to, and it's simply this: When one branch of science is based on the assumptions of another and the underlying science changes, everything that relies upon that foundational science must change as well. For example, we know that chemistry has a foundation in physics." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"For all intents and purposes, in the life sciences today, chemistry rules. Even genetics is based on the chemistry of DNA. However, if scientists are not following chemistry down to the level of physics, how can they be sure they are not missing important and fundamental aspects of what is going on in the body? It was not until relatively recently that scientists began to look at the quantum aspects of the body. The young disciplines of quantum biology and biophysics now sanction the study of the quantum processes?the energies and information—that underlie chemistry." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Over the next few years, I diligently worked at rebuilding my depleted body, incorporating daily running and yoga, all the while studying the life sciences and all of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual factors which determine our health. It took several years of total dedication to build robust health.

"But biology and the life sciences didn't. So today many life scientists find themselves still working and teaching based on a mechanical view of things, rather than seeing the universe, the world, and our bodies as fields that are engaged in a perpetual dance of energy interacting with other energy. Thanks to the pioneering research of scientists such as Dr. Bruce Lipton, and his book The Biology of Belief, this situation is changing." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"In all texts on the life sciences, from the rudimentary to the sophisticated, the passages devoted to bacteria are rich in the story of origins, as well they should be. Paleontologists regularly push back their estimate of the moment when Earth's tree of life first broke ground, and many of their discoveries are still somewhat controversial. But while professionals will continue to argue about the details, they long ago reached consensus on the big picture: The appearance of the first recognizable bacterial life more than 3 billion years ago, the first cells containing a nucleus about 1." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"The recent acknowledgment that the field "out there" is influencing how the stuff we're made of works inside of our cells sent a shock wave through the world of the traditional life sciences. Biologists steeped in the belief that DNA is the key to unlocking the mysteries of life have had to reconsider their position in light of the studies showing that genes are responding to information from the field surrounding them. What's important is that our beliefs—the electrical and magnetic waves created by our hearts—are part of that field." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Reliance life sciences, the Indian company that established this link, has developed a test to measure the degree of methylation in these genes. "We'd like to use the degree of methylation at sites near these three genes as a predictive marker to qualitatively say how far a person is from developing oral cancer," said Dr. Dhananjaya Saranath, one of the scientists at Reliance life sciences.

"My uncle is a distinguished crystallographer, and the blackboard in his austere office is invariably covered in triple integrals, an unusual sight in the life sciences. While the methods are abstruse, the results are sensationally clear. What crystallographers deliver is, quite simply, pictures of proteins in which you can see the atoms.* * Since these maps were for the most part paid for by taxpayers and charities, it is fitting that they should be available to all for free.

"Both of these ingredients have demonstrated potent antioxidant ability, but there is no conclusive research pertaining to their use in cosmetic formulations meant to combat AGEs, so whether or not they'll really work for that purpose is a leap of faith (Sources: life sciences, April 2006, pages 2343-2357; and Pathologie-biologie, September 2006, pages 396-404). Even if this serum could put a stop to AGEs and therefore slow the skin's aging process, this product contains lavender oil, which has been proven to cause skin-cell death (Source: Cell Proliferation, June 2004, pages 221-229)." - Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition (Get the book.)

"Schauss, now lead scientist at AIBMR life sciences, Inc., in Washington State.

"At Cornell University alone $500 million is being raised to create a "Life Sciences Initiative." This initiative promises to "forever change the way life-science research is conducted and taught at the university." What is one of the main thrusts of the program? Integrating each scientific discipline into the all-encompassing umbrella of genetic research. It is the largest scientific effort in Cornell's history.11 Much of this focus on genes, however, misses a simple but crucial point: not all genes are fully expressed all the time." - T.

In general, the ADA acts to suppress information on nutritional supplements and how they promote health.

"Also, certain findings are difficult to replicate, such as open systems in the life sciences that change and react as a result of the experiment itself. Some reasons why replications may be difficult to achieve as proposed by Radin (1997) include: 1. The phenomenon may not be replicable. 2. Written experimental procedures may be incomplete. 3. The effect under study may change over time or react to the experimental procedure. 4. Investigators may inadvertently affect the results of their experiments. 5. Experiments sometimes fail for sociological reasons. 6." - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)

"While the personal, observational skills of doctors have been eroded, their assumed knowledge of life sciences has been massively extended, and a biological test carried out by a technician now exists for almost every condition of difference from the norm. The doctor has turned from being a creative healer with considerable knowledge of his individual patients, to a sorcerer's apprentice in the service of technicians and drug producers, a pit-stop mechanic tinkering with bodies on their common life science journey to the scrapheap." - Martin J.
