"Many focused on preventative medicine. "What strengthened this health message, of course, was that it seemed to work. God wants us to be healthy, and if we did these things, people were healthier." The Adventists' affinity for health and longevity didn't stop at personal diet and exercise. A respectful emphasis on medical science also became a part of their religious outlook, in part because of their low tolerance for frivolity and their realization that it provided opportunities to evangelize their faith. As much as Ellen G." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "Soon, when they went on missions to China or to other countries, they sent medical professionals to perform curative and restorative medicine as well as preachers to teach theology and preventative medicine. "The term Ellen White used was 'the right arm of the church.' That was her phrase for the health message," Giang said. "I think what she meant was that this right arm could reach across cultures and shake hands and open doors. And it also became a good way for paying the bills." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "When Kellogg returned to Battle Creek in 1876, he shifted the focus of the institute from water cures to a mixture of Adventist-oriented preventative medicine based on a combination of diet and exercise and cutting-edge medical and surgical procedures. He also changed the name of the place to Battle Creek Sanitarium (a clever variant on sanatorium, the common word for water-cure facilities at the time), which, as business boomed over the next few decades, became known as the San." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Dr Diamond explained his philosophy in a book Your Body Does Not Lie (Warner Books, New York): 'I would practise preventative medicine, which meant raising the patient's energy to overcome the earliest manifestations of disease or better to act to prevent disease from occurring in the first place.' Such an approach is common to many workers in the field of complementary medicine. Behavioural kinesiology is not unlike applied physiology, a powerful system of stress management procedures developed by American Richard Utt." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"That is definitely not preventative medicine, which will soon become quite obvious. She decided that a change of doctors was in order (a wise decision, I might add). Another concern regarding modern medicine today is the approximate 10 minutes many clinics allot doctors to spend with their patients, and they normally schedule appointments accordingly. It would obviously be very profitable, and certainly makes good business sense, but what about the patients' welfare?" - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"I hope you will vow to cleanse your body regularly, for a variety of persuasive reasons: Your health plan or HMO is likely not interested in doing it for you, although some are slowly becoming receptive to using preventative medicine. Your medical doctor has not learned how to do it, and might scoff at it. You are the person most interested in achieving optimal health for yourself. Your cleansing might reduce or eliminate a variety of health issues that have been bothering you. You can reduce your medical costs by avoiding certain illnesses." - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

"We are not going to teach anything during this day but we are going to try to sensitize politicians, health providers, women, families, you name it, that this problem exists, and it's the beginning of risk factors that can be prevented for the benefit of the individual's health and public health and to decrease costs of healthcare by preventative medicine.41 I find it very reassuring that there are groups of men out there organising to sensitise women to the menopause, don't you?" - Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.)

"And as pointed out in an article in preventative medicine (January 2006), "Supplementation with fish oil could potentially prevent many of the 765,000 suicide attempts and 30,000 suicides committed each year in the U.S." (pp. 4-14). If those promoting TeenScreen were truly concerned about suicide prevention, they might want to take a look at the benefits of EFAs, as well as the previously mentioned vitamin C, regarding suicide prevention, (obviously inexpensive solutions, with multiple benefits). / Sleep deprivation." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"Some have been trained in preventative medicine and fitness that they pass along to their patients. Does that mean they're running and walking experts? Not unless it's printed on their diploma (or other certifications). If they're not working in their area of specialty, then chances are they haven't done much testing and training with people to experientially know what can be accomplished by even the most debilitated people." - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's Fitness Solution (Get the book.)

"According to an article in preventative medicine, "Growing evidence likewise suggests a role for omega-3 fatty acids in helping to relieve disabling depression. Fatty acids may provide relief for people of all ages and genders who are afflicted by depression" (2006 January, pp. 4-13). In fact, one specific study reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry (June 1, 2006, pp. 1098-1100), reported that "children with depression benefit from omega-3 supplementation."

"Cost: Varies; most run $15 to $20 or more per tablet fast and furious, a preventative medicine could make more sense. The most recent drug to be approved for migraine prevention is topiramate (Topamax). It was originally developed as an anticonvulsant, but the FDA has approved it for preventing migraine headaches as well. It works better than placebo to ward off migraines in children and teenagers.363 Adults who take 100 milligrams of Topamax daily have roughly two fewer migraines per month." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.)

"Cooper for his expertise on aerobic exercise and preventative medicine, I was inquisitive about his opinions on antioxidants. Dr. Cooper explained a process called "oxidative stress," which he indicated was the underlying cause of chronic degenerative diseases—essentially a "who's who" of the health problems plaguing humanity today. I devoured the book. We all know that oxygen is essential for life itself. Yet oxygen is also inherently dangerous to our existence. This is known as the oxygen paradox." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

"The research took twenty years, two top universities (Cornell and Oxford University), and thousands of people in China through the Chinese Academy of preventative medicine (no wonder the Chinese are shooting way ahead in the world economy—they have an academy that focuses on preventing disease, not just attempting to find cures for sick people) and in the end they found what thousands have been doing and saying since the beginning of time. Feed and look after your body the way it was designed to be fed and looked after and you will be healthy. It's that simple." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"I believe the future of preventative medicine is in managing the pH of your body," Pettersen told me. "All kinds of things can cause acidity—stress, rock music, sugar, and many foods. But if you balance your body with alkaline substances—such as spirulina, algae, and chlorella, all 'supergreens' with the benefits of chlorophyll—you can maintain the pH of your body at the right level, which goes a long way toward increasing your resistance to disease. At the proper pH level, enzymes flourish and the body mobilizes all its healing forces." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"Originally trained in architecture, he qualified and became interested in technology as well as preventative medicine, an ideal combination to set the stage for his future. Voll contracted cancer of the bladder but refused to accept the Western dogma of terminal decline. Instead he sought relief through the intervention of traditional acupuncture methods. Remarkably, although he needed life-long catheterization, Voll conquered the disease sufficiently to continue working for over two decades - a testimony to the effectiveness of his teachings." - Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.)

"No matter how many physicians and health professionals we train, and how much curative or preventative medicine they may practice, we cannot attain optimum health until our attention is focused on preventive medicine, and thereby learn to keep and even improve our health. To build and maintain healthy soil is the real fundamental service. Creative medicine must be founded on growing healthy organic foods. Thus alone can we create real health for our people - only through creating a sound, healthy and prosperous organic-minded agriculture. - Dr." - Patricia Bragg and Paul C. Bragg, The Miracle of Fasting: Proven Throughout History for Physical, Mental & Spiritual Rejuvenation (Get the book.)

"I also got involved in various conventional and alternative medicine businesses that broadened my overall vision of health and preventative medicine. What I was learning about health, fitness and nutrition, along with what I was experiencing on the business side of these fields, gave me a unique perspective. I saw how often the goals and products being promoted in the fitness industry were out of sync with the medical and nutritional ideals and principles of good health. To me, the objectives of optimum health and maximum athletic performance should be one in the same." - KC Craichy, Super Health 7 Golden Keys to Unlock Lifelong Vitality (Get the book.)

"It is a preventative medicine. One does not have to have a disease to be treated with homeopathy. It can be used to optimize health. 4. It can be used to treat the whole person. Homeopathy takes into account all the factors of a person's health, even a child's—the mental, the emotional, and the physical. 5. Side effects are not an issue, which is especially important when it comes to children and seniors, who are more prone to toxic side effects of medications. Homeopathy, as with many of the natural therapies, works with the healing systems of the body." - James F.
