"The American Heart Association came out against using conventional hormone replacement therapy for the sole reason of preventing future heart attacks.3 An article in the New England Journal of Medicine cited similar results showing conventional hormone replacement therapy ineffective for preventing heart disease.4 The Women's Health Initiative research study showed a 29% increase in cardiovascular disease in the group that took Prempro? This study confirmed the earlier studies on the ineffectiveness of conventional hormone replacement therapy in preventing cardiovascular disease." - David Brownstein M.D., Drugs That Don't Work and Natural Therapies That Do (Get the book.)

"This sluggish initial insulin response to a meal is followed by a prolonged release of insulin in the second phase, leaving higher insulin in the blood for longer periods of time thereby increasing the storage of fat and preventing the breakdown of stored fat.198 This inability to release insulin in the first phase response is considered to be the first sign that a person is on the path to becoming type II diabetic." - Byron J. Richards, CCN, Mastering Leptin: The Leptin Diet, Solving Obesity and preventing Disease, Second Edition (Get the book.) "Drugs will always have a relevant place, but not as a prime force in solving the emerging obesity epidemic and preventing the hundreds of thousands of deaths each year that are the direct consequence of preventable and reversible obesity. Constructive and consistent individual actions are the only remedy. Collectively as a society we either take effective personal action, or collectively as a society we will drain our nation's energetic vibrancy, quality of health, and financial resources paying for everyone's care who did not take responsibility for themselves." - Byron J. Richards, CCN, Mastering Leptin: The Leptin Diet, Solving Obesity and preventing Disease, Second Edition (Get the book.) "Even healthy people will benefit by applying the information in this book, by slowing down the rate of aging and preventing disease. Our initial idea for a book was to write on the subject of aging without wear and tear. A big part of this was going to be about getting to a proper body weight and staying there. We have a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience in these areas." - Byron J. Richards, CCN, Mastering Leptin: The Leptin Diet, Solving Obesity and preventing Disease, Second Edition (Get the book.) "For example, fertility specialists have demonstrated that in-vitro fertilization is not likely to work in the presence of high leptin, indicating a clear leptin resistance preventing pregnancy from occurring.556 These findings are consistent with other research showing that leptin in fluids reflecting ovarian status were high, even though blood levels were normal in unexplained fertility. There is a female organ leptin resistance that is central to the problem of infertility.557 In fact, a certain amount of leptin must exist, along with estrogen, in order for pregnancy to begin." - Byron J. Richards, CCN, Mastering Leptin: The Leptin Diet, Solving Obesity and preventing Disease, Second Edition (Get the book.)

"This evidence suggests that a diet that is relatively low in fat, relatively high in raw omega-3 fatty acids, and free of high-density refined carbohydrates would be very helpful to the indigenous people worldwide, and to everyone, in preventing and reversing NIDDM. Type-1 Diabetes (IDDM) The cause of Type-1 diabetes is somewhat different than Type-2. Its genetic component is not as direct, but transmission is believed to be an autosomal dominant, recessive, or mixed chromosome, although no mechanism is proven." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Most existing scientific studies on the use of positive lenses for preventing and reducing myopia were conducted using bifocal lenses. The lower part of the lens was positive (to oppose the effects of overaccommodative stress) and the upper part had either no lens (piano) or had a reduced-power negative lens. Roberts and Banfort (1967) found that the use of bifocal lenses brings about significant reduction in the rate of development of refractive errors. The downward rate developed at -0.31 diopter per year for the test group using a plus lens (bifocal) compared with a rate of -0." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"Vitamin K2 is definitely a part of my Sinatra Solution when it comes to building bones while preventing the deposition of calcium in our blood vessels at the same time. This nutrient definitely complements my metabolic cardiologic approach in the conditions that follow. Now, let me tell you my Sinatra solution for each specific situation. As you will see, when I recommend a range of nutrients, it's best to take each daily dose as two or three divided doses throughout the day." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "In this study researchers confirmed that giving carnitine after an acute heart attack had a beneficial effect on the preservation of the left ventricle (LV), where most heart attack damage occurs, by preventing an increase in heart size. This has enormous treatment implications because; an increase in LV size during the first year after a heart attack is an ominous predictor of future adverse cardiac events. Looking at the total picture, we can see that L-carnitine supplementation has widespread potential to protect heart attack survivors." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "L-carnitine shuttles fats into the mitochondria, passes them to CoA, and then carries the final products of beta-oxidation out of the matrix, thus increasing cell energy reserves and preventing the accumulation of acyl groups. Lactic acid clearance L-carnitine plays a role in the removal of lactic acid from blood and tissues and induces a more rapid recovery to the resting value of lactate to pyruvate ratio, which is a measure of aerobic recovery." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "Research has shown that coenzyme Qi0 may indirectly influence vascular function by preventing the oxidative damage to LDL, as well as by improving blood sugar control. Since oxidative damage to LDL and insulin resistance and elevation in plasma glucose concentrations can increase oxidative stress, the damage within the arterial wall is a critical event in the development of vascular dysfunction and even atherosclerosis." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"In other words, my grandfather had developed a condition where his body worked against itself in a battleground between two conflicting kinds of chemistry—one that produced everything he needed to function normally, and the other preventing those functions from ever happening. Between my travels, I spent as much time as I could with my grandfather and tried to help him deal with his experience while I learned about his condition." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"We know that arthritis causes these symptoms more often in people with extra-high skin melanin—those who are more likely to be deficient in vitamin D because their skin melanin serves as sunscreen, preventing them from soaking up vitamin D as easily as people with less melanin. The 2002 National Health Interview Survey showed that African Americans and Hispanics with arthritis have more problems with limited mobility, work limitations, and severe joint pain than European Americans with arthritis." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Perhaps the answer to preventing melanoma is not elimination of sun exposure through avoidance or the use of sunscreen. And that makes sense when you remember that we've been evolving under the sun for more than 2 million years. Maybe the sun isn't such a bad guy after all. The question remains—how much sun is enough? Is regular, intermittent exposure safer than long periods of no exposure followed by high exposure? What about the balance of UVA and UVB light? Tanning certainly increases vitamin D levels, but how safe is tanning?" - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"The strongest success in preventing negative movement into myopia was conducted by Kenneth Oakley and Francis Young in 1975. In the lower part of the bifocal lenses they used +1.50 diopters, and the upper part of the lens was undercorrected by 0.5 diopters. Oakley and Young determined that the overall average increase of myopic error was -0.02 diopter per year for the bifocal group. The "standard prescription" group continued into myopia at a rate of -0.53 diopter per year. The clear success of this study was attributed to the fact that a sufficiently strong plus lens was used." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"ZINC Zinc seems to be important for preventing insulin resistance, as a low zinc level seems to be associated with increased insulin resistance. It seems to be involved in almost all aspects of insulin metabolism, including synthesis, secretion, and utilization. Lower levels may affect the ability of the islet cells of the pancreas to produce and secrete insulin, particularly in Type-2 diabetes.149 Zinc seems to have a protective effect against beta cell destruction as well as anti-viral effects." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Thus, the companies that make memantine brand their product to make doctors believe that their drug slows the biological progression of the illness by preventing cell death. However, beneath the marketing pitch, there is no clinical evidence to demonstrate this effect. There are side effects to memantine that are usually manageable, but can include headache, constipation, dizziness, and agitation. Despite its promise, memantine does not appear to constitute a significant upgrade over the other ChEIs." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"It can also play a role in preventing diabetes. One study followed 944 men, ages 42 to 60, who did not have diabetes at the beginning of the study. Forty-five men developed diabetes during the four-year follow-up. The study indicated that a low vitamin-E concentration was associated with 3.9 times greater risk of developing diabetes.118 It is important that one use a natural vitamin E with all the tocophe-nols and tocotrienals factors. Bioflavonoids Recent research indicates that flavonoids may be useful in treating diabetes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Other studies showed that people with type 2 diabetes who practiced yoga significantly reduced their fasting blood glucose levels, as well as their Hb A levels, heart rate, and blood pressure, while also improving nerve function, which is important in preventing neuropathy." - 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.) "NEW WAYS TO LOOK AT DIABETES We want you to get used to several new ways of looking at diabetes, ways that we are almost certain you have not heard discussed but that are fundamental to understanding, preventing, and managing the disease, as well as enhancing quality of life and longevity in people with type 2 diabetes. Tame Your Gene Expression Foremost is an idea we mentioned previously: that you can dramatically influence how the genes involved in glucose metabolism are expressed. Although you can't change your genes, you can change the degree of expression of your genes." - 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.) "Insulin also plays a major role in how the body uses amino acids to build proteins, and it helps stimulate growth and tissue development by preventing the abnormal breakdown of proteins, fats, and the storage form of glucose, called glycogen. Beta cells can sense the amount of glucose in the blood. When they sense that blood glucose levels are rising, which occurs after eating, they secrete more insulin into the bloodstream so it can signal, for example, muscle cells to "take up" glucose (allow glucose to enter the cell through the cell membrane)." - 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.) "Even a relatively small amount of exercise can reap dividends when it comes to preventing and controlling diabetes, notwithstanding the benefits in terms of stress reduction and overall quality of life that can be traced directly to physical activity. We leave you with poignant information from two recent scientific studies. In one, the scientists compared two groups of type 2 diabetics: those who exercised for four months and then stopped (controls) and those who continued on for an additional four months. The Hb A, levels declined in the ac-tive patients and increased in the controls." - 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.)

"Joel Fuhrman, who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through holistic and dietary protocols, clarified the distinction between genetic and environmental contributors to disease. "We all have genetic differences," he told me. "There's great variability among the human genome, which makes some of us more susceptible to various environmental and toxic stresses than others. You may be more prone to heart disease, and another person may be more prone to a certain type of cancer." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Trains our body and mind to ask for the foods and lifestyle choices of the Culture of Life, thus preventing the re-creation of diabetes; ?Helps support and sustain us in making the psychophysiological shift into the Culture of Life. Juice Recipes We are drinking low-glycemic, Phase 1 juices made fresh at home with either a press-style juicer (such as a Green Star) or a high-speed blender (Vitamix). The juice is separated from the pulp by straining with a fine mesh bag. We are not demonizing fat, protein, or carbohydrates, and we are not eliminating any of these macronutrients." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The studies touted by the industry also don't look at how many lives could be extended and money saved if the nation invested in keeping people healthy and actually preventing disease rather than spending ever more on expensive pills. Another way of looking at the value of all these new medicines the industry has sold in the last twenty-five years is to take a global view. In 1980 a sixty-five-year-old American woman could be comforted by the fact that her expected life span was longer than that of her contemporaries living almost anywhere else in the world." - 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.)

"Results of a 2007 University of Granada study found that it may also be better at preventing iron deficiencies and mineral losses in bones. sun-beaten terrain, cut by deep valleys, was not suited for large-scale farming. So over the centuries, shepherding offered the best profession. The work was neither stressful nor strenuous, but it did require miles and miles of walking a day." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "Our research also suggested that fruits' role in preventing stomach cancer seemed to offer a piece in Nicoya's longevity puzzle. SOMETHING IN THE WATER? Near the end of our second week in Nicoya, Gianni and Michel were putting a couple other pieces in place. In San Jose, they'd followed their noses into the basement of the university library, where they'd found an atlas illustrating different features in each of the country's regions. They were looking for idiosyncrasies, characteristics that distinguished Nicoya from the rest of Costa Rica." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Fiber has been shown to aid elimination through the bowel and absorb toxins in the intestines, preventing their reabsorption. You will shoot for at least 35 grams of fiber per day through foods, but you can take a fiber supplement at bedtime that will help you reach that mark. There are two basic types of fiber—soluble and insoluble—and both are valuable in detoxing. Soluble fiber (technically called pectin, gum, and mucilage) dissolves and breaks down in water. When it does, it forms a thick gel." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "To manage these pests, we have pesticides/These are products 'intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest [according to the Federal Act].'" Just as we are coming to recognize the importance of the condition of the body's terrain (internal environment) to health, so too are we becoming increasingly aware that the health of plants is dependent upon the condition of the soil (external terrain) in which they're grown. Chemical "NPK" fertilizers (composed of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium) have been widely used in agriculture for over a century." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)
