"What's more, Cholesterol protection for Life makes eating and preparing that diet attainable and accessible, easy and understandable. I applaud your commitment to take responsibility for your diet and health.
If recent experience is any indication, we cannot rely on government institutions and policy makers to take the lead in raising awareness of the importance of diet in the development of disease. Unless we want to join millions of Americans who are getting fatter, more unfit, and more unhealthy, we need to seek out high-quality diet and health information like that which Dr." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Cholesterol protection for Life, New Expanded Edition (Get the book.)
"Chapter
Lowering Cholesterol Saves Lives
It has been well established that high cholesterol levels are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and that lowering your LDL cholesterol sufficiently offers powerful protection against heart disease. Research has shown that heart attacks are entirely preventable, and that heart disease is both preventable and reversible through aggressive, cholesterol-lowering nutritional intervention.
There is a direct correlation between cholesterol levels and heart attack risk at total cholesterol levels above 150 mg/dL."

"Chapter
Heart Attack Prevention that Actually Works
Now that you are fully aware of the serious ramifications of high cholesterol (such as, you die suddenly without warning) and the limitations of traditional medical care when it comes to protecting you, let's look at the almost unlimited protection you can give to yourself.
I am happy to tell you that both the symptoms of heart disease and the actual blockages and buildups that cause them easily melt away when you adopt my program of nutritional excellence."

| "Maximal protection only can be achieved if optimal cholesterol levels exist in conjunction with a cardio-protective diet. Simply getting cholesterol levels in the ideal range with drugs or supplements is not the same thing because without the benefits of a high-nutrient diet, you still will be at significant risk.
Cholesterol-lowering supplements
Let's review some of the natural agents that are sold to lower cholesterol. Not all of these substances are as effective as their promoters claim, and some have potentially dangerous side effects." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Cholesterol protection for Life, New Expanded Edition (Get the book.)
| "Something like that gives you pretty good evidence that there is protection, but because of our limited sample size, knowing the degree of protection may be more up for grabs. Eating a lot of tomatoes also seemed to have an effect on reducing prostate cancer for men."
"Colon cancer also," Fraser said. "We found that the Adventists who ate meat had a 65 percent increased risk of it compared to the vegetarian Adventists. And Adventists who ate more legumes like peas and beans had a 30 to 40 percent reduction in colon cancer." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)
| "Yes, this is true; however, why not double-up on your protection? Research suggests that probiotics offer some protection to travelers, particularly those in high-risk areas. More studies may help us make a more concrete recommendation to travelers to use probiotics as a means to prevent diarrhea. I always include probiotics in my vacation bathroom kit.

| "This is exactly what you'd expect from foods that have such broad effects—signaling every cell in the body. protection by cruciferous vegetables seems to be almost universal.
I like to think of antioxidants and enzyme induction as the ultimate form of protection. Once the materials of protection are available, the body makes its own enzymes and uses them effectively. These enzymes go even further and use materials from the cruciferous vegetables to neutralize toxins. Our bodies then discard the neutralized toxins and are ready to take on more." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)
| "And sometimes we need to use denial, that is, avoidance, as protection against the suddenness of a trauma. Some truths are too big to digest all at once, like the death of a loved one, a shocking diagnosis, or a sudden physical trauma. But the main impulse in Brilliant Health is that you are always moving toward the truth.
THE MIRROR IMAGE
Imagine waking up in the morning knowing that your face might have become grotesquely scarred during the night. Would you run to the mirror? Would you lie in bed to delay confronting the truth of your new face?" - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)
| "Although the Heart protection Study (HPS) did show a reduction in heart attacks (with no reduction in mortality) for postmenopausal women with heart disease, more of the studies I have reviewed above, including ASCOT, LIPID, and PROSPER, did not show any benefit. The 4S study showed a 12% increase in overall mortality, even though there was a 24% reduction in heart-disease-related mortality. The CARE study showed a twelvefold increase in breast cancer, which may explain the increased overall mortality with statins in spite of the reduced cardiac mortality for women in that study." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)
"However, the authors neglected to point out that by taking aspirin, the patients would have lost the protection against stomach bleeding, Vioxx's chief selling point!
It was four years later, in 2004, when a study was conducted to see if Vioxx (rofecoxib) could prevent the recurrence of colon cancers, that the drug's associated risk of heart attack attracted the attention of researchers and the media. The Adenomatous Polyp Prevention on Vioxx (APPROVe) trial studied 2,586 patients with a history of colorectal adenomas who randomly received either rofecoxib or a placebo for three years."

| "Love encourages us to grow; fear discourages us and causes us to move into protection mode. Love fosters health and energy generation while fear fosters dis-ease and energy depletion.
Negative emotions create disorder in a person's heart rhythms, and disharmony in the autonomic nervous system. On the other hand, positive emotions produce an orderly heart rate variability, balance in the autonomic nervous system, and cardiovascular efficiency.5
The chemical by-product of a negative emotional stress response in our bodies is acid." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)
| "Discover and Heal Its True Causes
(Excerptedfrom Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation)
According to this bestselling author, diabetes is not a disease; in the vast majority of cases, it is a complex mechanism of protection or survival that the body chooses to avoid the possibly fatal consequences of an unhealthful diet and lifestyle.
Despite the body's ceaseless self-preservation efforts (which we call diseases), millions of people suffer or die unnecessarily from these consequences. The imbalanced blood sugar level in diabetes is but a symptom of illness, not the illness itself." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)
| "The Lyon Diet Heart Study found that the Mediterranean diet, when compared to a Western diet, offered protection against a second heart attack during the four years patients were followed. (Michel de Lorgeril et al., "Mediterranean Diet,Traditional Risk Factors, and the Rate of Cardiovascular Complications after Myocardial Infarction," Circulation, 1999:99; 779-85.)
« HAVE A GLASS OF WINE WITH D I N N E R . Wine may not be the X factor in the French or Mediterranean diet, but it does seem to be an integral part of those dietary patterns." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)
| "Without removing the underlying causes of heart disease and its precursors, the average person has little, if any, protection against it. Heart attacks can strike whether you have undergone a coronary bypass or had stents placed inside your arteries. According to research, these procedures fail to prevent heart attacks and do nothing to reduce mortality rates.
Heart Disease No More, excerpted from the author's bestselling book, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation, puts the responsibility for healing where it belongs, on the heart, mind, and body of each individual." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)
"Fear is synonymous with separation and defensiveness. protection. Cancer cells do not like what they have become, but your resistance to them keeps them in that state. They heal spontaneously when your resistance disappears and you are able to replace this attitude with one of acceptance and, yes, love. When you consciously accept/embrace what or whom you resist in your life (whom or what you resist is merely a mirror image of yourself58), you will not only lose the fear, but the body's cells can return to their natural, balanced growth mode."

| "Exactly like cells, or the community of cells, that we are, we adopted behaviors of protection in the interest of survival or of growth as we felt confident and free to explore our world and develop our abilities.
It makes quite a difference whether we were raised in an environment of acceptance or criticism, affirmation or abuse, calmness or anxiety, happiness or anger, security or fear, because these become the filters through which we view the world.
FROM CHILD TO ADULT
Little children are naturally spontaneous and joyful. They live in the present moment and have no pretense." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)
| "Rita's freedom from fear enabled her to abandon the regularity she felt was protection against death. Within the person who had been carefully treading the well-worn and predictable path of her life, Rita discovered an experimental, joyful, flexible woman: herself! Filled with new feelings of wild abandon, power, and free rein, she ventured beyond the borders of her previous experience.
"My life is ten times better, because baby, now I try it all. Everywhere I look, there are new prospects lying in wait." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)
| "However, women who are sexually active and do not use barrier protection should have yearly PAP screens. The annual gynecological exam is not efficient at the diagnosis of ovarian and uterine cancer and thus is superfluous. Women ages fifty to fifty-nine are encouraged to have an annual breast exam and mammography.
Second, doctors themselves acknowledge that they often treat a disease with a medication even if they know it won't help because they would rather do something than just stand by. Or they may take the position that the medicine "might help, and couldn't hurt." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)
| "A healthy environment evokes a growth response, and a toxic environment evokes a protection response.
It is not necessarily what is true, but what we believe to be true, our perception, which is important. That our minds can heal our bodies is now becoming a proven reality in studies on the placebo effect. There have been television documentaries on how people have been healed completely when they truly believed that a reparative surgery had been performed, or that a certain medication had been administered, even though the surgery wasn't performed and the medication was just a sugar pill." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)
"The child self is repressed because of fear and the pretend adult self emerges as a protection. The result is a loss of the authentic self. Children observe the adults in their world and start to emulate them. They begin to operate from the mind.
As adults, if we have not dealt with our dysfunctional beliefs, we continue the pattern of living through our minds, meaning that our dysfunctions keep repeating."
- Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)
| "Consider a loaf of bread, one of the "traditional foods that everyone knows" specifically singled out for protection in the 1938 imitation rule. As your grandmother could tell you, bread is traditionally made using a remarkably small number of familiar ingredients: flour, yeast, water, and a pinch of salt will do it. But industrial bread—even industrial whole-grain bread—has become a far more complicated product of modern food science (not to mention commerce and hope). Here's the complete ingredients list for Sara Lee's Soft & Smooth Whole Grain White Bread." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)
"Based on epidemiological comparisons of different populations, researchers have long believed that a diet containing lots of fruits and vegetables confers some protection against cancer. So naturally they ask, What nutrient in those plant foods is responsible for that effect? One hypothesis is that the antioxidants in fresh produce—compounds like beta-carotene, lyco-pene, vitamin E, and so on—are the X factor."
- Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)
"The cellular mechanisms Ames has identified could explain why diets rich in vegetables and fruits seem to offer some protection against certain cancers.
Ames also believes, though he hasn't yet proven it, that micronutrient deficiencies may contribute to obesity. His hypothesis is that a body starved of critical nutrients will keep eating in the hope of obtaining them. The absence of these nutrients from the diet may "counteract the normal feeling of satiety after sufficient calories are eaten" and that such an unrelenting hunger "may be a biological strategy for obtaining missing nutrients."
- Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)
| "They're highly trained and very smart, but what I notice is a lot of people pursue advanced levels of education as protection."
"Really?" I asked. "What kind of protection?" "The 'attorney at law' credential at the end of your name is a great way to be recognized and respected. The problem is, if that's a big part of why you did it, you're motivated by fear and not love of the work. You believe that you'll never measure up. I see this pattern more and more in the new lawyers we've been hiring." - Ray Dodd, BeliefWorks: The Art of Living Your Dreams (Get the book.)
| "Patients taking aspirin lost the protection afforded by Celebrex. This study looked at one year of treatment, but only the results found after six months were published. Based on data released to the FDA, it was later discovered that in the second six months there had been an increase in heart attack risk. The editor of the journal, Catherine DeAngelis, M.D., was understandably perturbed when she learned after the fact about this deliberate attempt to withhold such important information and expressed her disapproval in an editorial in her journal." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)
| "Most sun-blocking creams and lotions also contain avobenzone for broad-spectrum protection against short- and long-wave UVA rays which are falsely considered to be the main culprits responsible for long-term skin damage.2'^ Most sunscreens also contain a cocktail of a dozen or more cancer-promoting fragrance chemicals and numerous
