"Along with loose stools, green stools can be a reaction to the overuse of laxatives or any other substance that causes diarrhea. And if you look a bit "green around the gills," too, your green, loose stools are probably an indication of a GI infection or other diarrhea-causing condition. ORANGE STOOLS Noticing that your stools are orange can be quite disquieting; you may worry that the color comes from blood." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"Immunoelectron microscopy confirmed that CHS has a loose association with the ER membrane in buckwheat hypocotyls (Hrazdina et al., 1987). These results have led to a modification of Stafford's (1974) proposal in which flavonoid biosynthetic enzymes are organized as a multienzyme complex loosely associated with the cytoplasmic face of the ER and are anchored to the ER membrane through C4H and F3'H (Hrazdina, 1992; Winkel-Shirley, 1999). Recent biochemical, immunohistochemical, and molecular cytological investigations have supported convincingly this concept." - Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.)

"Side effects may include minor gastrointestinal conditions such as flatulence and loose stool. Pregnant women should avoid systemic enzyme supplements, as should people with blood-coagulation disorders. Individuals taking blood pressure/blood-thinning medications or anticoagulant medications should check with their doctor before taking systemic enzyme treatment. FINAL THOUGHTS Systemic enzymes' ability to help rid the body of harmful potentially cancer-causing proteins makes them a great natural supplement to add to your arsenal of cancer prevention tools." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"He feels as if he's finally cut loose in order to have a good time. In more extreme drug-induced maniclike episodes, the individual feels high or euphoric, has wildly unrealistic expectations about what he can accomplish, feels invulnerable to consequences, and persists at some outrageously irrational behavior until he is doomed by it—all the time thinking he's having a good time and operating at the peak of his powers. This chapter tells three stories of drug-induced manic reactions from my practice as a medical expert." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) "Adam continued to seem at loose ends about working toward a future. He began drinking too heavily at school and eventually told his parents that he wanted to take a break from college. Fortunately, money was no problem for the family and as long as Adam found some kind of job he could live at home and be given as much pocket money as he needed. His parents also hoped he would figure himself out and they suggested he see a psychiatrist, especially for his drinking." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) "Eventually the jaw spasms will probably cause her teeth to come loose. Her face was distorted by muscle spasms and her voice sounded badly distorted and sometimes unintelligible. Mrs. Dignity was so embarrassed by her appearance and the sound of her voice that she had become more reclusive. Mrs. Dignity regretted that she had not responded years earlier to her family's urgent requests to change doctors. She came from a social background where people tend not to question authority and she could not believe that her doctor would do anything to harm her." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Acetaldehyde breaks the vitamin B6 coenzymes loose from their enzymes and the vitamin B6 is lost. Drinking alcohol can decrease the absorption of folate. In addition, heavy consumption of alcohol can prevent the liver from retaining folate. Alcohol increases losses of folate. Without enough folate, homocysteine levels in the blood can rise, contributing to heart disease. Vitamin C levels are depleted by alcoholism. In addition, the alcoholic liver has problems activating vitamin D." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) "Acetaldehyde breaks the PLP coenzymes loose from their enzymes and the PLP is lost. Some drugs, such as isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) also deplete the body of vitamin B6. INH is a drug used to treat tuberculosis and supplemental vitamin B6 must be given during treatment. Elevated homocysteine in the blood is an indicator that there is increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Vitamin B6 is needed to remove homocysteine from the blood by converting homocysteine to cysteine, as seen in Figure 1-15." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"The demon was loose. PART III BACTERIUM m CHAPTER SEVEN "Daughter of Chance and Number" It is not surprising that microbes now find us so attractive. Because the carbon-hydrogen compounds of all organisms are already in an ordered state, the human body is a desirable food source for these tiny life forms. Bacteria see us as a source of autopoietic maintenance in their ancient struggle against thermodynamic equilibrium." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Teens face the peer challenge of "freer" sex, where loose "hooking up" for one-night stands is coming to be seen as normal, and building deep emotional relationships with sexual partners is considered out of date. Many of the functions of family life are taken over by outside interest groups. Child rearing is increasingly entrusted to kindergartens and company or community day-care centers." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"As if to support the notion that the war was at least partly driven by personal malice, Khusro's first act upon capturing his first imperial city was to send Justinian's governor directly to Constantinople, specifically instructing him to tell the emperor that the Persian ruler was loose in Syria. Having honed his appetite on the relatively modest spoils of Susa, Khusro then turned west toward the far richer prize of Antioch. The wealthiest city of the Seleucid empire, Antioch retained its prominence after conquest by Rome in the first century B.C.E." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"High doses of C can cause diarrhea, but that just means that you reduce your dose to 75 percent of the amount that gave you loose stools. Tip: Stop smoking. It greatly depletes vitamin C stores. Note: All dosages are daily dosages and in pill or capsule form unless otherwise noted. vitamin C significantly reduced the number of colds experienced by people involved in rigorous exercise in very cold environments—for example, military men involved in training maneuvers in northern Canada during the winter and children attending skiing camp in the Swiss Alps." - 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.)

"And, since the voracious bacterial appetite for new genetic material is unsatisfied with "only" two methods of acquisition, many bacteria also gather plasmids—DNA floating loose in the bacterial environment—a process called transformation. The impact of this many-pronged reproductive strategy is profound. Virtually all other species of life share genetic material only with members of the same species—occasionally closely related species, as when horses are mated with donkeys." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"We routinely refer to being "depressed" (which is a distressingly loose set of symptoms) as "clinical depression," which is then explained as a biochemical imbalance. Yet, at least to date, blood, urine, and other body fluids yield no reliable indicator of a problem—for example, that above or below a certain metric the patient suffers from some disease, say something called "depression."13 Is so-called mental illness really an illness?14 A good starting place is to examine the American Psychological Association's (APA) position on this issue." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"With lips loose, breathe out puhhh, to just short of a wheeze. Breathing out for 2 seconds and in for 2 seconds, or out for 4 seconds and in for 2 seconds, will probably take you to just short of a wheeze and is usually all the effort you need to get you through to your second wind. It may be necessary to maintain this breathing pattern for 5 minutes, but sometimes even up to an hour, before you feel comfortable. Take it easy to start with, but keep your diaphragmatic breathing pattern even. Try not to alter this breathing routine, no matter how exhausting it might seem at the beginning." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) "Avoid wall-to-wall carpets and loose furnishings that cannot be easily washed at high temperatures. Have polished floors and scatter rugs. þSteam-cleaning won't kill mites: the temperature isn't hot enough and all it does is make the environment the mite lives in more humid and warmer—exactly the conditions it thrives in! þEnsure your house is well ventilated. þIndoor plants contribute oxygen to your home, but don't keep too many as wet dirt causes moulds and fungi to grow, which release spores that may be an allergen. þDon't keep a pet if you are allergic to it." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Even when controlled by the fda and other agencies, advertisers still often play fast and loose with the truth. The editor of the New England Journal of Medicine has felt compelled to decry the license taken by advertisers with science published in his journal. A systematic review of the content of advertisements in leading medical journals performed several years ago documents the plethora of assertions that outside experts find misleading. The uninformed person is at a disadvantage in the marketing arena and will be well served by skepticism when faced with claims about dietary supplements." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Glucosamine was also associated with more side effects, including loose stools, nausea, heartburn, and headache. Other studies found it beneficial in patients with less-severe osteoarthritis,35 suggesting that more-severe disease may not respond because the cartilage is already damaged. Another study showed efficacy with glucosamine-chondroitin combinations compared to placebo." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"The Fragility of Anchors: Difficulty Thinking Ahead to Contingent Future Decisions The anchors discussed here account for the stability of the market from day to day, but we must also account for the ability of these anchors to let loose occasionally—sometimes suddenly. Markets do make dramatic shifts. Part of the reason for the surprises the market hands us from time to time is that news events have an effect on people's reasons that even they could not have expected." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"DNA floating in the bacterial liquisphere like loose pages of a manuscript. These pieces of code were useful only insofar as they offered some advantage in the deadly setious business of growing and reproducing. But because it could not know whether any particular bit of code would turn out to be helpful, Y. pseudotuberculosis had to rely on the law of large numbers to find a selection advantage, either by the theft of existing code from elsewhere, or from the introduction of a typo into its own codebook while duplicating it." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"It's not unusual to see a woman have cavities, gum disease, and loose, painful teeth in the year following childbirth/breast-feeding, which shows that a pregnant woman's body "gives" to the baby at the expense of her own stores of vitamin D and calcium. Pregnancy and breast-feeding are stress tests for the mother because it takes enhanced nutrition and extra physical activity to maintain bone and muscle mass. With ideal vitamin D levels and improved nutrition, you can ensure the health of a mother and the fetus as the pregnancy progresses and after delivery as well." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"The Lambayeque Valley was home to at least five cities after Naymlap's time, among them the ancestral center at Chotuna, which may have bound together a loose confederation of ethnic centers linked by alliances and kinship ties. The largest is Batan Grande, a once-prosperous city whose adobe pyramids tower over tens of thousands of looted graves, many of them once rich in gold ornaments and full of human sacrifices. A strong El Nino struck in about A.D. 1100. Deep floodwaters cascaded through the great city, carrying everything before them." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"If you don't see this display or if there are a lot of red lines, the pulse sensor is on too loose or your finger is too cold. When your fingers are cold, your blood vessels constrict, making it difficult for the sensor to detect your pulse. If that is the case, just run your hand under warm water for 30 seconds or so. Once you see a good representation of your heart rate, you can follow how well your heart rate tracks your breathing by selecting the box called Coherence Ratio. The goal is to have as high a ratio as possible, which is indicated by a green color." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "In progressive muscular relaxation, you're asked to activate specific muscle groups as much as you possibly can and then suddenly let loose. This process allows you to relax muscles that stress has tightened. Usually you start with the hands, contract them maximally for a count of five, then gently but quickly relax while exhaling. You move from the hands to the lower arms, the upper arms, shoulders, and so on. Neck and shoulder relaxation are probably the most helpful as these combat the muscle tension that leads to headache." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "When she did, she had loose stools, but the cramps were relieved. In addition, she reported having occasional irr I U U l\ MMnUMS A K c, KHiAL bouts of constipation, also with belly pain. Constipation, Mrs. Jay reported, had become pretty much a normal part of her life, except every so often when an attack of belly pain led to diarrhea instead. And then she happened to contract a rather severe case of food poisoning, which changed the pattern. Now the attacks of pain and diarrhea were occurring much more frequently, as often as once a week. Her case provides two examples." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Thus was one of the main staples of the Western diet cut loose from its moorings in place and time and marketed on the basis of image rather than nutritional value. In this, white flour was a modern industrial food, one of the first. The problem was that this gorgeous white powder was nutritionally worthless, or nearly so. Much the same was now true for corn flour and white rice, the polishing of which (i.e., the removing of its most nutritious parts) was perfected around the same time." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Studies using vitamin C show increase in cellular immunity and decreases in Vitamin C Take 6-10 g in divided doses daily, starting with 1,000 mg a day, then add 1,000 mg every 4 or 5 days until the stools become loose. At this point, back down to the previous dose of vitamin C so that the stools are normal in consistency. autoimmune progression and fatigue.66 In addition, vitamin C enhances immunity and decreases capillary fragility and tumor growth, all of which are involved at various levels in endometriosis." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Overall, the body should be loose, natural, and poised. Each sport should be studied to ensure adequate technique. ABBREVIATED GENERAL EXERCISE PROGRAM Aerobic Exercise Beginner • Allow at least 6 weeks for conditioning of your heart: exercise very moderately. • Exercise at a training heart rate (THR) that is 60-70 percent of your maximum heart rate (MHR). • Walk for 15 minutes.

More Advanced • For 10 weeks, increase THR to 65—75 percent of MHR. • Walk for 30-45 minutes." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Botanical fruits are stored in a place called a "carpotheque" (which sounds like the place taxonomists go to let loose). A number of foods that we call spices actually consist of, or derive from, dried fruits: pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, paprika, anise, caraway, allspice, cumin, fenugreek, cayenne, currants and juniper. Mace is the lacy arillus of the nutmeg fruit. Cloves are actually dried flowers, although when pollinated, they do develop purplish fruits. Until recently, spices were items of utmost luxury. Islands were ravaged and populations decimated for their spice bounty." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Record how many milligrams it takes to produce loose stools. Then reduce the dose by one spoonful every day, until a dose is found where the stools are a comfortable consistency. Alternatively some people start with 500 mgs of Vitamin C per day and work up to 5,000 mgs a day. Do not take vitamin C if you have inflammatory bowel disease, kidney stones, ulcers or are undergoing surgery. HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR CONSTIPATION There are many homeopathic remedies for constipation. Some of the more common remedies are listed with their symptoms herein." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)
