"The net result is that in addition to what medical researchers have been able to verify and explain, there are a number of "incidents" that hint at so much mote. Depression and Heart Attacks A group of medical researchers in Montreal tracked 222 post heart attack victims, both men and women. The researchers found that those who were depressed (who felt sad, hopeless, and listless) were more likely to die of another heart attack within 18 months of their first heart attack than those who were not?0 times more likely, in fact." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Police investigators and medical researchers have also documented dozens of cases where people taking medicines have driven in a kind of semiconscious state. For example, in 2005 forensic toxicologists in Wisconsin described cases in which people taking Ambien had driven into mailboxes, parked cars, and other stationary objects. The drivers could not stay in their lanes, the Wisconsin scientists said, and there had been many near head-on collisions. Officers who stopped these drivers often found them disoriented and unable to stand up." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"A century or more ago, medical researchers learned that giving patients even a sugar pill—one that looks identical to the drug being tested but has no real effect— could make some patients feel better. So in order to figure out how effective a new drug is in reducing symptoms, researchers compare its effect against that of a placebo: a sugar pill. Since every patient in a placebo-controlled trial gets some treatment, this type of study allows the researcher to sort out the therapeutic effect of the active drug, comparing its effect to that of just being treated with an inactive substance." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Countless medical researchers have verified this. Recent studies, such as the one designed and supervised by Dr. Michael S. Wendt at the State University of New York at Buffalo, revealed a marked improvement in the behavior of children with ADD and ADHD who began to exercise regularly. Dr. Wendt's study showed that increased respiratory rates cause increased oxygen intake, which leads to biochemical changes that promote healthy changes in brain chemistry. The subjects in Dr." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "To further help your friends and family understand what you are doing, let them know that well-respected medical researchers and mainstream medical journals support your choice. There's a growing body of research that shows the link between a poor, sugar-laden diet and the exacerbation of ADD/ADHD symptoms. Please let them know that you're serious and need their help. Don't let them make the mistake of feeding your child the sort of junk food that undermines your goals and your child's health." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"One of the most important changes was that medical schools were taken over by full-time scientists, medical researchers, and academic specialists, diminishing what Starr calls American medicine's "practical" orientation. Subsequent to the report, the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations became the primary sources of funding for university-based research." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Here's how it works THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY STARTS TO CALL THE SHOTS Prior to 1970, medical researchers had relatively little problem obtaining funding from the National Institutes of Health, and few medical studies were sponsored solely by drug companies. An article published in the journal Science in 1982 describes medical scientists thumbing "their academic noses at industrial money" in the 1970s. But as government support for medical research started to decline, scientists and universities were forced to look for alternative sources of support for their research." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"If we cannot turn to medical doctors for true assistance and enlightenment in our quest for health and healing, could perhaps medical researchers bring us the answers we seek? This is just as unlikely. Most researchers are hired and sponsored by large drug corporations whose main interest lies in subduing and eliminating the symptoms of disease, not the disease itself. The main motivating force behind today's health care system, or shall I say, sickness care system, is the incessant need or greed to amass money, power, and control." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"In words that should have shaken the medical profession to its core, the statement told of "dracon-ian" terms being imposed on medical researchers by corporate sponsors. And it warned that the "precious objectivity" of the clinical studies that were being published in their journals was being threatened by the transformation of clinical research into a commercial activity. The editors said that the use of commercially sponsored clinical trials "primarily for marketing .. . makes a mockery of clinical investigation and is a misuse of a powerful tool." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Many years ago, the late master herbalist Stuart Wheelwright dubbed this domino effect the "toxic stress cycle." As medical researchers learn more about toxins, a growing consensus focuses on the central role toxins play in damaging our health. They take a toll from the time you are in your mother's womb until you take your last breath. What's more, they may even harm you before you are conceived. It's remarkable to think that exposure of an embryo to environmental toxins can create new inherited traits, but scientific research has shown this to be the case." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Home Remedies Many species of mushrooms and fungi that have been utilized for thousands of years as folk medicines, for anything from warding off cancer to fighting heart disease, have come under intense study by ethnobotanists and medical researchers in recent years. Throw Me a Lifesaver! BREAST CANCER: A research study revealed that of seven vegetable extracts tested, white mushroom extract was the most effective in inhibiting aromatase, an enzyme associated with breast cancer growth." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"Robin Warren and Barry Marshall, two medical researchers in Australia, that peptic ulcer disease was due to a bacterial infection. Before this breakthrough, doctors were convinced that ulcers were due to too much stomach acid. Now we treat ulcers with antibiotics. The Australians' discovery won the Nobel Prize in 2005. One frightening hypothesis is that nanobacteria enter the body via common vaccines manufactured with fetal bovine serum, a breeding ground for these bacteria. Recent studies have shown that early plaque deposition can be detected in males twenty years and younger." - 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.) "The Scandinavian country ranks first in the world in sudden death from heart attack and stroke among young to middle-aged men. medical researchers believe a low magnesium intake has something to do with it. • Alcohol, even in small amounts, drains magnesium. Alcoholics are woefully deficient. • Colas and other soft drinks high in phosphates inactivate magnesium. • Some parts of the United States, notably the Southeast, have low levels of magnesium in drinking water. Evidence suggests that magnesium-rich (hard) water may be the most bioavailable form of magnesium." - 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.)

"I have an author who is putting together a book documenting the mysterious deaths of over 100 medical researchers who were all on the brink of announcing a cure for various diseases with non-drug and non-surgical methods. All of these medical researchers mysteriously died under the most bizarre and suspicious circumstances. This author is also documenting all of the mysterious disappearances and deaths of people in Washington and other political organizations when secrets and truths were about to be exposed." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"We have spent the last thirteen years uncovering what makes people happy and, with the help of medical researchers, finding out how happiness also makes us healthier, whether we're battling illness or simply trying to achieve maximal health. Although there's been an upsurge of coverage in the popular press about connecting our emotions to our physical health, you're reading the first practical road map for achieving that connection. We all know negative emotions like stress, anxiety, anger, and depression are bad for us." - 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.)

"Deadly Cell Phones and Other Wireless Devices An increasing number of medical researchers, environment protection agencies, governments and individuals are concerned that wireless technology may be causing serious harm to people and the environment: • The country of Germany has recently (2007) warned the population to avoid wireless devices." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "One of the world's most ingenuous medical researchers, Professor Antoine Bechamp (1816-1908), called these tiny cellular compounds microzyma. The German scientist. Dr. Gunther Enderlein, who published papers on this research in 1921 and 1925, referred to them as profits. Protits are tiny dots in the blood and cells that you can apparently see with any microscope. These dots or colloids of life are virtually indestructible and survive even after the body dies." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Nontransparency is now the norm for commercially sponsored medical research in much the same way that it had become the norm in accounting and business practices in companies such as Enron and Worldcom, and with much the same results—though the magnitude of the cost in dollars and health still remains a well-kept secret. medical researchers must have access to all the results of their studies, perform their own analyses of the data, write up their own conclusions, and submit the report for publication to peer-reviewed medical journals." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"New jobs will be created to support IT systems in hospitals, and medical researchers will be needed to conduct the studies that evaluate the effectiveness of medical treatments. There's no denying that shrinking our health care system will cause dislocation among workers and lower profits for some sectors of the medical industry. But America's industries are undergoing constant change, and in any other arena of our economy we would never tolerate the degree of waste and inefficiency and lack of accountability that's rife in health care." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"We know that medical researchers, like those of any profession, reflect not only tradition and training, but also vested interests. Therefore most often they will conduct research on problems that they once studied as students. Therefore they are more likely to study problems that will advance their career interests, ones that will allow them to compete for and win large grants—perhaps ones that come from large pharmaceutical companies.33 As a result, they are more likely to conduct research on chemotherapy rather than on herbal treatments for cancer." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Some medical researchers have called for the government to create a national scientific agency that would pore through the industry's clinical trial reports, throw out the biased research, and determine what drugs actually work. Such an agency, designed in the right way, could transform America's medical system. To be effective, the agency must limit its staff to those medical experts who are free of ties to corporate America. The agency should be funded by the government but not run by the government." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"In the aftermath of news coverage about the discovery of so many phthalates in common toiletries, medical researchers began looking anew into the possible relationship between this class of chemicals and reproductive abnormalities in humans. One of the first significant findings came from a human study at the University of Rochester that measured phthalate levels in pregnant women and then, after the birth of their children, compared the results to the physical condition of their male infants." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"Their results would not be published until 1973, in Science, a prestigious publication for basic scientists, but a journal of last resort for medical researchers. The paper was almost entirely ignored by their fellow physicians. Gittelsohn returned to Johns Hopkins in 1972, while Wennberg set out to determine once and for all what was causing the small area variations: Was it patients, or something else?" - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"While this study was hailed as a breakthrough by medical researchers, a strict genetic etiology for autism remains controversial. What the research does not conclude is whether the identified gene is the direct cause of autism or whether one or more external agents—a toxic substance such as a heavy metal—affected the genetic chromosomal region. Although mainstream medicine, citing the results of several large studies, appears convinced that there is no autism-vaccine connection, there are natural medicine practitioners, parents, and others who strongly disagree." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Medical researchers are required by scientific convention to keep meticulous records when they conduct clinical trials. When the team asked Bezwoda's wife, who had served as his assistant, where the rest of the charts could be found, she told them they were in a room mixed with those of thousands of other patients who were treated at a now-defunct hospital. The records Bezwoda did have on hand contained only the sketchiest of information." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Depression and Heart Attacks A group of medical researchers in Montreal tracked 222 post heart attack victims, both men and women. The researchers found that those who were depressed (who felt sad, hopeless, and listless) were more likely to die of another heart attack within 18 months of their first heart attack than those who were not?0 times more likely, in fact." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Similarly, ideas about how to realize the healing effects of positive thinking were first developed and disseminated in populist teachings and texts; next, they were claimed by reform-minded medical researchers in the second half of the twentieth century (who linked these ideas to emerging understandings of the biochemistry of placebo effects and the ways in which the brain and immune system interact); and finally they were disseminated again into the popular culture, but stamped now with the imprimatur of biomedical science." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) "Over the next several decades, a thin stream of medical researchers would indeed be tempted to take a fresh look at hypnotism. Most of these followed Braid in seeking to distinguish this phenomenon from its discredited relation, mesmerism. Nevertheless, the larger medical and scientific community generally failed to recognize such niceties of difference and tended instead to dismiss the entire drama of provoked waking sleep—however achieved—as chicanery and unworthy of scientific and scholarly attention." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"Finally, there is one more part of the culture of medicine with which you should be familiar: the world of medical researchers. Because many medical researchers are also doctors, you might think of it as a subculture. But researchers are subject to some unique forces. Research also strongly influences the information you receive, both in the media and from doctors. It is therefore important to know something about how medical research works. The first thing to know is that research is far from a wholly objective enterprise." - H. Gilbert Welch M.D. M.P.H., Should I Be Tested for Cancer? Maybe Not and Here's Why (Get the book.)

"It absolutely amazes me that we supposedly have the best medical researchers in the world and no one has made the connection between bowel transit time and the incidence of disease and digestive health in particular! "An assessment of colonic transit time enables the healthcare provider to better understand the rate of stool movement through the colon ..." since, obviously, disease or impairment within the digestive system can lead to reduced efficiency.4 In other words, the slowing down of transit time can indicate the onset of constipation or further bowel disease." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)
