"And we can never have pure neurology but only neuro-neurology ?neurology as known through the human nervous system... But at this point we have already entered the arena of Strange Loops, as some readers have guessed, for neuro-neurology can only be known by the nervous system and thus can only be known by a meta-science of neuro-neuro-neurology...which can only be known through neuro-neuro-neuro-neurology...and so on, ad infinitum. Do you detect Lord Russell's two-head argument looming on the horizon at this point? Or even T. W. Dunne's infinite regress of consciousnesses in time?" - Robert Anton Wilson, Quantum Psychology: How Brain Software Programs You and Your World (Get the book.)

"These data can be contrasted with recently published data in the scientific journals Archives of neurology and Experimental neurology, which showed that much higher doses of ubiquinone were required to obtain comparable blood CoQIO levels. Specifically, the studies with ubiquinone used 1,200 mg per day to achieve blood concentrations of 3.96 mcg/mL and 2,400 mg per day to reach blood levels of 7.25 mcg/mL. Scientists have long known that CoQl 0 levels decrease with age and that there is a clear association between that decline and age-related problems related to energy production in cells." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"As the historian Jesse Ballenger has pointed out, from 91 1926 to 1935 the American Journal of Psychiatry and the Archives of neurology and Psychiatry, the two leading professional journals of American psychiatry and neurology, ran only nine articles concerning Alzheimer's disease.1 In the middle of the twentieth century, little mention was made of AD, and only a small number of clinicians used the label, reserving it only for patients in their fourth, fifth, or sixth decade who showed the clinical and neuropathological signs of senile dementia." - Peter J.

"Schachter, a professor of neurology at Harvard and a paid Parke-Davis consultant, as he introduced the first speaker at a three-day corporate retreat at Jupiter Beach, Florida. "Someone asked me if Neurontin was good for a sunburn . . ." Many of the physicians speaking at these meetings made statements that would have been illegal if they had come from Parke-Davis employees, who could not promote a drug for experimental uses, or claim it had no risks, or say it worked better than studies had shown. Doctors, however, could say whatever they pleased." - 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.) "Wilder, professor emeritus of neurology at the University of Florida, wrote several letters to Warner-Lambert requesting money. In April 1996, Dr. Wilder asked the company to write a check for $401,350 to his private foundation to send him and 125 medical residents to the Registry Resort, a luxury hotel on the white sand beach of Naples, Florida. Dr. Wilder's proposal aligned nicely with the company's strategy of targeting the nation's physicians in training." - 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.) "Wilder called the "Merritt-Putnam Epilepsy Update for Residents and Fellows in neurology." The final tab came to more than $3,200 for each young physician. Parke-Davis also paid doctors if they agreed to let corporate employees read their patients' medical records. Franklin learned physicians could earn fifty dollars for each patient's record, plus an additional sum to cover the doctor's cost of overhead. In another program the company paid doctors to experiment on their patients by prescribing Neurontin in doses that were double the maximum recommended by the FDA." - 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.)

"That is a fact of not only neurology, but also lifestyle. You cant have it all A great example of the surplus/deficit phenomenon is Albert Einstein, the quintessential absentminded professor, who had many ADHD and Asperger's symptoms and couldn't even speak until he was three. As a matter of fact, Hans Asperger often referred to his young patients as "little professors." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Investigators at the Behavioral neurology Program and Rotman Research Institute at the University of Toronto attempted to replicate the work of the Princeton PEAR lab using random-event generators, but with one important twist: they had enlisted several patients with frontal-lobe damage. The patients who had suffered right-frontal-lobe damage, which probably affected their ability to focus and maintain attention, had no effect on the machines. The only person to have a greater than normal effect was a volunteer who had a damaged left frontal lobe but whose right frontal lobe was intact." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"These misgivings have been confirmed by many of my patients, particularly one woman who came to see me for genetic consultation in neurology. While undergoing a preventive cardiology workup at another health-care institution, this woman had been identified as having genetic risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Her cardiologist mailed her results as a printout, which included the information that she expressed two copies of the E-4 allele of the ApoE gene, and that this phenotype had been found to be a susceptibility marker for CVD." - Peter J.

"In the German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), psychosomatic medicine institutionalized itself in the 1920s in ways that kept it closely allied with the professions of nerve doctoring and neurology (one of the key vehicles for the new ideas was the journal Der Nerven-arzt, founded in 1928). At the same time, the field increasingly identified its cause with larger efforts in German-speaking European medicine to challenge mechanistic, dualistic, and reductionistic thinking and to turn medical practice in general in more holistic and naturopathic directions." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"I stumbled across a study by Frank Elliott, then chairman of the neurology department at the University of Pennsylvania. Within a. large population of prisoners, he discovered that more than 80 percent of them had had serious learning problems as children. I started to dig into the school histories of my aggression patients, and common stories emerged. It was clear that they shared a lifelong difficulty inhibiting their thoughts, behavior, and actions. Many of them hated authority, had low self-esteem borne of chronic failure, and were driven by impulse." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) "In a 2001 study published in the Archives of neurology, Danielle Laurin of Quebec's Laval University analyzed the relationship between exercise and physical activity among a group of 4,615 elderly men and women over the course of five years. Laurin found that women over sixty-five who reported higher levels of physical activity were 50 percent less likely than their inactive peers—women and men alike—to develop any form of dementia. Until the Women's Health Initiative came along, scientists believed that HRT protected against cognitive decline, but the evidence doesn't support that conclusion." - John J.

"One 2006 study reported in the Archives of neurology, published by the American Medical Association, shows that young adults who have high levels of antibodies against the Epstein-Barr virus are significantly more likely to develop multiple sclerosis fifteen to twenty years down the road. Harvard School of Public Health and Kaiser Permanente researchers were able to determine this correlation by examining records of more than 100,000 patients who joined health plans between 1965 and 1974, when they were in their early thirties." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"New patients attending a general neurology outpatient clinic were interviewed before they saw the doctor. The patients were asked how they would respond "if you had leg weakness, your tests were normal, and a doctor said you had . . . [X]." Table 7 is culled from this study, with some liberty. I am using less-vernacular responses (for example, the connotation "putting it on" is tabulated as "feigning").

"Nevertheless, he also acknowledged equally significant allegiances to Gestalt psychology, clinical neurology, and the existentialist philosophies of both Martin Heidegger and the Jewish theologian Martin Buber (a close friend).36 Weaving all these influences together, Weizsacker's psychosomatic medicine took as its starting point the principle that the patient should be at the center of every clinical encounter, not as an object of medical investigation but as an experiencing subject." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)
