"When seen in the context of physical cleansing and healing, I consider this healing approach to be a profound addition to all other natural healing methods in facilitating a more successful outcome.. When chi flows properly through the cells of the body, the cells can more efficiently remove their metabolic waste products, they more readily absorb all the oxygen, water, and nutrients they need, and they conduct any necessary repair work more swiftly. The body can restore its health and vitality much more easily when there is constant, unrestricted availability of chi." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The natural healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "But those who are cured by their body's natural healing powers are more likely to recall their illness as an experience of great emotional and physical release, which greatly increased their self-confidence and well-being. Having recovered their health by trusting and supporting their body's own healing ability, they may also have made a quantum leap in personal development. Many patients report that their natural recovery from an illness led to major improvements in their attitude toward life in general and their relationships with others." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The natural healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Disease manifests itself when the body's natural healing responses are weakened or suppressed. The body has a constant tendency to return to its normal state of equilibrium, which is perhaps the real power behind healing any condition. Sometimes the belief in a particular treatment or medicine (placebo) can serve as a trigger for the body to restore equilibrium—an effect that is often wrongly attributed to the treatment rather than to the energies of trust and perseverance that it may be generating in the patient." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The natural healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "A naturopath has become a symbol for natural healing. Even if his methods may not be very effective, the symbol may still be powerful enough to trigger a good placebo response. In every medical treatment, the placebo is actually the main determinant of the degree of success the treatment has. The results of every controlled study ever done confirm this statement. If any other treatment administered in the medical system proved to be as effective and consistent as the placebo effect, it would most certainly have been heralded as one of the biggest medical breakthroughs of all times." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The natural healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"The technical-mechanical model is a perfect fit for a consumer society, but natural healing, which works best for transforming depression, does not fit neatly into a consumer model. natural healing, unlike repairing, is not a top-down, vendor-to-customer kind of process. It is not unidirectional. In the natural healing process, both helper and helpee can receive healing. In the mechanical-technological consumer world, there are doctors who fix and there are patients who get fixed. It is a world of specialized authorities." - Bruce E. Levine, Surviving America's Depression Epidemic: How to Find Morale, Energy, and Community in a World Gone Crazy (Get the book.)

"Jensen and other early natural healing practitioners. He was very famous for cleansing and detoxifying the bowel, and was a tremendous influence in my life. When he was eighty-five, Dr. Jensen had prostate cancer that had metastasized into the bone. His wife called me and asked if I could help. His family and employees had visited him for the last time, and his doctors had given up hope. As far as everyone was concerned, Dr. Jensen was dead. When I first came to see Dr. Jensen he was down to 76 pounds. He was skin and bone and just wanted to die. So I asked him, "Do you want to live?" - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Once realigned, natural healing could proceed without recourse to allopathic drugs. By the turn of the twentieth century, Still had an infirmary in Kirksville, over 700 graduates, and a sizable following. Osteopathic schools opened elsewhere. Patients who were under the care of osteopaths fared better than those treated to "heroic medicine" in the influenza epidemic of 1918 -19, harkening back to homeopaths' claims in the 1849 cholera epidemic." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"If it is so powerful that it can change the state of our body and mimic the effects of pharmaceuticals, then why has medicine ignored this natural healing capability for so long, dismissing it derisively as the placebo effect, and why isn't there a Manhattan Project of health care to explore and harness it? At heart, each of these cases highlights how things as immaterial as mind and thoughts or fields of information play a role in health. The fact that these seemingly miraculous stories are real—and there are hundreds of other such stories in the world's medical literature?" - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "So NES, and natural healing of any kind, usually improves how we function (how we relate to the world and our illness, our energy level, clarity of thought, evenness of emotions, and so on) before it improves our physical symptoms. Although it might take time to correct a physical ailment, you don't have to use NES, or any other natural therapy, forever. You use it until you feel better, your symptoms abate, and your functioning as a full and vibrant human being returns. As with any health care modality, the choice is yours." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Cutler's treatment approach incorporates her profound knowledge of both conventional and natural healing. KAREN DEFELICE, MS DeFelice has a master's degree in science and has written two books, Enzymes for Autism and Other Neurological Conditions and Enzymes for Digestive Health and Nutritional Wealth. She and her two sons deal with pervasive neurological and sensory integration dysfunctions, and have seen dramatic improvement in their conditions through the use of enzyme therapy.

"More than twenty years ago I was battling poor health, weight gain, and fatigue, and it was then that I discovered the natural healing principles that would ultimately change my life. I realized that by adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle—one that involved regular internal cleansing and detoxification—I could regain control of my body and my well-being. Since then it has become my passion to educate others and share with them the natural remedies that helped me achieve the superb health that I enjoy today." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "Upon dedicating my life to the fields of healthy digestion and detoxification, and to leading others onto the path of natural wellness, I have studied many philosophies of health and natural healing with some of the great teachers of our time. Through my work as a naturopathic doctor and founder of five natural health clinics in Florida that specialize in colon hydrotherapy and detoxification, I've watched people transform their lives in ways unimaginable to most who rely solely on traditional medicine or who think they must live with persistent illness, pain, and exhaustion." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Health insurance companies were convinced that the medical association treatment methods were the best and that natural healing methods were ineffective. With these organizations in place, the pharmaceutical cartel's control was complete, and tremendous profits were assured. CODEX ALIMENTARIUS In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest in "alternative" medicine, with its preference for non-invasive and natural therapies, including herbal supplements. The pharmaceutical cartel saw this coming many years ago." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Three hundred years ago, the great Elizabethan herbalist Nicholas Culpeper listed comfrey among the most effective natural healing agents. About three years ago, a women in Veneta, Oregon, decided to apply a comfrey dressing to painful varicose veins that had troubled her for 13 years, threatening to immobilize her. Where countless doctors and remedies had failed, the herb succeeded. Happily back on her feet, the woman told Prevention that comfrey truly "worked wonders." During the Middle Ages, comfrey was a popular remedy for mending broken bones and battle wounds." - Mark Bricklin, The Practical Encyclopedia of Natural Healing (Get the book.)

"Let us learn to trust more in the process of natural healing through "ending" the near environment with a plus lens. Enhancing this understanding will allow us to free ourselves from misconceptions that are so rampant about the behavior of the natural eye. We should terminate the idea that nothing can be done to prevent and reverse nearsightedness. The idea that there is nothing you can do but purchase either expensive negative-lens glasses or contact lenses is a tragic mistake. If we fail to learn this lesson, we will be stuck with being nearsighted for the rest of our lives." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"I answered Fran's questions about which specific, more natural healing therapies she might explore—therapies I had seen work wonders for folks with her kind of heart problem. For example, I encouraged her to try nutritional supplements like coenzyme Qio, magnesium, L-carnitine, and multiple antioxidants and minerals to complement her current medications in strengthening the heart's pumping action. But I also had to caution Fran. Some of the supplements that she wanted to try could have serious interactions with the medications she was taking." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"The creation of The Woman's Encyclopedia of natural healing is an enormous step forward. In it Gary Null has given us an alternative woman's health care reference text, a text that by its very existence works to inform and change common practices. The Alternative Path Trained in traditional medicine, with gynecological surgery as my specialization, I have found change comes last to women's health care. In fact, the very existence of a specific field of expertise called "Women's Health Care" is still not accepted in traditional medicine." - Dr. Gary Null, The Woman's Encyclopedia of Natural Healing (Get the book.) "His work here in giving us The Woman's Encyclopedia of natural healing is fundamental. It will help provoke necessary changes in women's health care delivery. Women want to have basic information about their bodies. Women know how important it can be to share our personal experiences. And many women have experienced misdiagnosis, victimization, and other traumas that are commonplace in traditional medical practice. And so we find ourselves seeking new options and alternative treatments. Dr." - Dr. Gary Null, The Woman's Encyclopedia of Natural Healing (Get the book.) "The Woman's Encyclopedia of natural healing allows a woman rapid access to the clinical and scientific grounding that will enable her to formulate her own program of alternative care and treatment. It also looks at health in a comprehensive manner, including environmental impact, nutrition, nutritional supplements, and exercise. Each chapter concludes with a listing of supportive published medical literature and brief synopses of relevant articles. You can select the ones you feel are most informative, and get direct access to them through your computer on the world wide web and on Medline." - Dr. Gary Null, The Woman's Encyclopedia of Natural Healing (Get the book.) "Balch and Balch, Prescription for natural healing. PLACEBO EFFECT A placebo ointment applied daily for 24 days produced a reduction in night cramps (by 66 percent), leg heaviness (by 69 percent), tiredness from standing (by 62 percent), and itching (by 45 percent).

"Gary Null's Clinicians' Handbook of natural healing, vitamin E effectively protected lab rats from the harmful effects of administered alloxan. In support of that, researchers have found that among rats that are genetically susceptible to IDDM, feeding wheat gluten will cause 40 percent of the subjects to develop IDDM. Several other groups of rats with the same genetic inclination to develop IDDM were fed gluten-free diets, and only 10-15 percent developed IDDM. Further, the rate and severity of diabetes could be manipulated by varying the amount of gluten in the diet." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"However, it is clearly more medically invasive than completely natural healing elements, such as the use of vitamin C. It carries some of the same risks as other procedures that employ pharmaceutical medications. Nonetheless, it is quite safe when administered and monitored properly. Chelation has been the linchpin in the recoveries of a large number of children. If your child is burdened with heavy metal overload, I strongly urge you to consult with your physician about chelation." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"However, when inflammation develops, it can overwhelm the natural healing mechanisms and clog up arteries. Genetics influences the amount of Lp(a) in your blood. If Lp(a) has been a problem for your family, ask your doctor to test you. In the presence of a vitamin C deficiency, Lp(a) can become an exceptionally dangerous risk factor. The late Linus Pauling, a two-time Nobel Prize winner, believed that Lp(a) arterial repair becomes relegated to a secondary role when the body contains a plentiful amount of vitamin C." - 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.) "Fran wanted to know about targeted natural healing therapies and nutritional supplements as well as positive affirmations and mental imagery. She followed the advice she received, and she got better. She needed less medication and avoided a heart transplant. Fran's search for physical, emotional, and spiritual support is the best approach to healing. Over many years of medical practice, we have both learned that the most important way to help someone overcome a disease is to help them stimulate and nurture their own inner resources, "the doctor within," as some people refer to it." - 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.) "This is the way it should be: integrating the best of conventional medicine with natural healing. We believe this is smart medicine that can save countless lives and make a huge dent in the continuing epidemic of cardiovascular disease. ix Usually, with a combined program of nutritional medicine, medications, or reverse lifestyle changes, and, if necessary, surgery, we can stabilize or reverse existing disease. Many of our sickest patients make remarkable recoveries. We have written this book as a guide for you, the medical consumer." - 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.)

"Conventional treatment of adult ADHD may involve medication (stimulants or antidepressants), education, and psychotherapy. The natural healing community has recognized the power of nutrition. Studies over the past two decades have linked attention and activity disorders to deficiencies in zinc and essential fatty acids, and consumption of caffeine, artificial flavorings, and other food additives like MSG and artificial sweeteners. Nutritionist Marcia Zimmerman points out that the timing of what we eat has a powerful effect on the brain. " - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"All the healings at Lourdes, extraordinary as they were, were simply evidence that the natural healing powers of the mind were far more extensive than the medical profession had previously appreciated. Why had it taken Lourdes to reveal this? Charcot focused on the remarkable features of Lourdes as a site. Its remoteness meant that all pilgrims underwent a long, arduous journey to reach it (the train trip from Paris at that time took twenty-two hours). When they finally arrived, they were exhausted and their critical faculties were diminished." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"This is actually a positive effect because the inflammation that manages to develop stimulates the body's natural healing agents. Although a large body of medical research has substantiated the role of protease in the healing process, the public is still by and large unaware of its potential benefits. The reason is that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, appeared on the marketplace at the same time that protease supplements were first being accepted." - Gary Null, Ph.D., The Complete Encyclopedia of Natural Healing: A Comprehensive A-Z Listing of Common and Chronic Illnesses and Their Proven Natural Treatments (Get the book.)
