"THE NES THEORY OF ENERGETIC TERRAINS According to conventional microbiology, organisms such as bacteria and viruses reproduce inside the body using our cells as mediums for thriving, and in some cases they even hijack our DNA to reproduce. What if this is not the whole picture? We know that at the quantum level, everything is mediated by energy and information exchanges. Why should microorganisms, the very earliest forms of life in most cases, be any different? The NES model says that they are not." - Peter h.

"He decided to study microbiology, a scientific field that dealt more with bacteria and test tubes than with blood and needles. One basic lesson of school never left him. He learned that science was a field where work must be done honestly and objectively. Any researcher who did otherwise would commit, in his words, "an unforgivable sin." Thirteen years later Franklin left the university with a Ph.D., a pile of student loans, and a fellowship at Dana-Farber, where his work would be paid for by the Jimmy Fund. He never worked harder than he did as a postdoc." - 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.) "She said the company wanted to learn more about Franklin, who had a Ph.D. in microbiology and had worked for three years at Dana-Farber, a hospital affiliated with Harvard. There had been a hurried meeting with a small group of the company's executives at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Boston. Franklin and the executives had sat around a cocktail table in the hotel's bar. It had been more of an informal chat than an interview. He must have made a good impression because two days later Hodge had called him again." - 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.)

"THE ROOTS OF THE BIOMEDICAL MODEL In the second half of the nineteenth century, medical science took a giant leap forward. microbiology, the study of infectious microorganisms, or germs, began shortly after Louis Pasteur accepted a position as chair of the department of chemistry at the University of Lille, in the north of France. The local industry relied upon the precise harnessing of fermentation in the production of beer and wine, and the making of alcohol from beet juice." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Probiotic research involves an unusually wide range of disciplines: pediatrics, gastroenterology, nutrition, immunology and microbiology. This is what makes this new area of health so fascinating—it affects your entire body at every stage of life! Some of the most promising areas of research on probiotics relates to inflammatory intestinal disorders. These diseases affect many and no cure has yet been found. Why are probiotics so promising in the field of intestinal health? Consider the following. Intestinal microbes outnumber cells in the human body 10-fold." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Kathleen Gilbert, a forty-eight-year-old associate professor in the Department of microbiology and Immunology at the Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute in Little Rock and coauthor of much of today's groundbreaking work on TCE and autoimmunity, has devoted the last decade to helping scientists understand how chemicals like TCE precipitate an autoimmune reaction at the cellular level in the body." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"After all, it would not have been far-fetched to have constructed sociocultural models for the pathogenesis of pulmonary tuberculosis and aids were it not for the superseding microbiology. That is why many an intrepid investigator has stalked the cause of fibromyalgia in the labyrinth of our neuroendocrine and immune systems, but clues are hard to come by and subtle changes prove unreliable, secondary, or nonspecific. Genetics plays a role, but it's slight and overwhelmed by the influences of the familial environment." - Nortin M.

"Reinfection implies that the original problem was reversed and the patient was completely asymptomatic before recurrence; relapse indicates that the symptoms and microbiology have never returned to normal even though there may have been improvement or a period of improvement. Reinfection is a possibility due to exposure to the same factors that caused the first episode. In heterosexual women not using condoms, reinfection may be due to the alkalinizing effect of semen. This alkaline environment fosters overgrowth of BV." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"In frontier microbiology, pleomorphic organisms are believed to be the most elementary forms of precelluar life and may play a major role in the development of many diseases, including cancer. For this reason, Energetic Integrator 8 links to all of the Energetic Terrains. This Integrator also regulates fields that bioenergetically help the body deal with endogenous body waste and exogenous environmental toxins." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"A recent report from the American Society of microbiology highlights how widely this "new germ theory" applies to some thirty viral and bacterial microorganisms for which there exists strong evidence of an association to chronic disease." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"We don't have any problem with microbiology in that respect, but there is another aspect to healing, which is energetic. From past and present research, we are suggesting that the body can create ETs—these energetic environments—after exposure to triggering events, such as prolonged exposure to geopathic stress or electromagnetic fields or some other factor, and so host a microorganism, but?and this is a pretty big statement—it can do this even when there has been no invasion by an actual microorganism at all!" - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Allen Silverstone, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the State University of New York Upstate Medical University at Syracuse, has been demonstrating in the lab how endocrine disruptors disturb the regulation of the immune system, given the profound influence the endocrine system has over the workings of our immune cells. When our endocrine system's exquisite communication network goes on the blink, the immune system's network can go haywire as well." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"The Gram staining method, named after the Danish bacteriologist who originally devised it in 1882, Hans Christian Gram, is one of the most important staining techniques in microbiology. It is almost always the first test used to identify bacteria. The primary color stain of Grams method is crystal violet. The microorganisms that retain the crystal violet-iodine complex appear purple-brown under microscopic examination (gram-positive). Those that are not stained by crystal violet are referred to as gram-negative and appear red." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Their findings were presented to the First International Congress of microbiology in Paris in 1930, under the title The Influence of Cooking Food on the Blood Formula of Man.1 White blood cells, also called leukocytes or immune cells, are a component of blood and part of the body's immune system that help defend the body against infections or foreign materials. The conclusion of Dr." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Just as the birth of microbiology revolutionized medicine at the turn of the twentieth century, physics is revolutionizing medicine at the start of the twenty-first century. And NES is on the forefront of that revolution. Nearly every week Peter uncovers some new, and often startling, information about the body-field through his matching experiments. We will continue to explore, test, and probe for answers and puzzle things out to add to our knowledge of how the body-field is the master control system of the physical body." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Researchers from the Department of Oral microbiology at Osaka University in Japan say that fewer cavities develop because the polyphenols block production of glucosyltransferase by the bacteria.7 Another investigation conducted by the same research group examined the effects of tea polyphenols on plaque deposition in human subjects. At the start of this study, thirty-five volunteers aged eighteen to twenty-nine were given thorough dental examinations and the level of bacteria in their mouths was measured." - Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (Get the book.) "Hamilton-Miller of the Department of Medical microbiology at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine in London, noted that tea extracts have been shown to inhibit the growth and reproduction of many species of bacteria, and outright kill them, especially the kinds that cause diseases of the diarrhea type. Furthermore, the amount of tea extract required to achieve these antibacterial effects is generally equivalent to what a person consumes when drinking tea as a beverage." - Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (Get the book.)

"Applied Environmental microbiology 66: 2269-73, 2000], actual human use of garlic oil does not inhibit H. pylori. [Helicobacter 6: 249-53, 2001] Drug resistance Tumor cells develop resistance to anti-cancer drugs. They do this by overproducing a protein (P-glycoprotein) that energizes tumor cells so they can efficiently pump out anti-cancer drugs as they enter. Di-allyl sulfide, a breakdown product of allicin, decreases P-glycoprotein activity back to normal in a laboratory study. This garlic component could be coupled with anti-cancer drugs to inhibit drug resistance." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.) "Journal Applied microbiology 98: 1303-15, 2005] Several studies have shown that consumption of bifidobacteria reduces colon cancer risk in carcinogen-treated animals, suggesting that consumption of certain bacteria has a beneficial effect on the balance of colon bacteria. Probiotics have even been shown to reduce the recurrence of bladder cancer. [European Urology 47: 288-96, 2005] There are many misconceptions regarding probiotics, the most prevalent being that yogurt delivers beneficial bacteria." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.) "Indian Journal Medical microbiology 23:74-9, 2005] Liver flukes represent just 1.3% of the infections among immigrants to the United States. [Journal Travel Medicine 11:157-9, 2004] Hulda Clark would have everyone undergo herbal therapy to rid their body of flukes. Clark disseminates half truths. Liver flukes don't cause all cancers. If so, cancer would arise at any age with parasitic infection. Instead, cancer is largely an age-related phenomenon.

[British J Radiology 72: 3-8, 1999] This spontaneous resolution of calcifications in breast tissue could indicate a rise or resumption in estrogen production and thus a signal for tumors to grow." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Although 91% of American adults claim to wash their hands after using the rest-room, only 83% actually do so, according to the American Society for microbiology. What this meansfor you: Because many viruses and bacteria are spread from hands to the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose or eyes, dirty hands are a prime means of transmitting infection. Self-defense: In addition to washing your hands after using the restroom and before eating or preparing food, it's also important to wash after handling garbage.. .playing with a pet.. .changing a diaper.. .blowing your nose, sneezing or coughing.." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)
