 "Leisure activities such as watching TV and listening to the radio have been linked to increased mortality in both men and women,58 while other researchers have demonstrated that the amount of time spent watching television and listening to the radio associated with the onset of dementia.59 It must be mentioned that certain types of television are better than others. Listening to radio talk shows such as NPR, or to books on tape, and watching the news or educational programming are more beneficial ways to spend your down time—at least I hope so!"- 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.) |
 "I had, earlier that morning, read in the newspaper about how the police had battered the opposition leader at a demonstration outside parliament over the right to start their own radio station. (There is only one radio station, owned and operated by the state.) As tensions mounted, the head of police pistol-whipped the opposition leader, who required twenty-six stitches to the back of his head.
"Last night, the army was deployed to guard the Vallee de Mai because the opposition followers threatened to burn it down. I spent the night here with them."
'Why would they burn down the forest?"- Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
 "We live in a sea of radio waves that come from thousands of radio stations and TV stations and cellular phones. The sky is filled with millions and millions and millions of stars, each of their info-energy patterns mixing in areas smaller than the head of a pin.
How is this information ever read selectively?
Radios and TVs use specific antennas, crystals, and tuners to "tune in" to the desired patterns of frequencies. What came to me was an acronym. DNA might be the ultimate "Dynamic Noetic Antenna."- Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.) |
 "Grosso describes this point of view with an analogy from electronics:
A crude analogy with radio and radio waves: the radio does not produce the radio waves; it detects, transmits, and filters them. If your radio breaks down, it doesn't follow that the sounds you're listening to have ceased to exist. They just cease to be detectable. An analogy is possible between this and the mind-brain relationship.16
Rene Descartes, whose influence on the Western view of consciousness has been monumental, held a similar view of the mind-brain relationship."- Larry Dossey, Reinventing Medicine: Beyond Mind-Body to a New Era of Healing (Get the book.) |
 "Nuclei of the body's hydrogen atoms are aligned by a powerful magnet. FM radio beams are focused on the area to be scanned, causing "resonance" of the aligned nuclei. Minute amounts of energy are emitted as the radio beam is turned off and the nuclei return to random orientation. This energy is measured by sensors and sent to a computer, which produces exquisite three-dimensional pictures of the human body.) Now these scans are commonplace."- John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) |
 "We turn into a larger, more sensitive radio.
In 2000, Sara Lazar, a neuroscientist at Massachusetts General Hospital and an expert in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), confirmed that this process produces actual physical changes. Conventional MRI employs radio frequency waves and a powerful magnetic field to view the soft tissues of the body, including the brain. Functional magnetic resonance imaging, on the other hand, measures the minuscule changes in the brain during critical functions."- Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |
 "Minimizing time spent with television, radio, and the Internet can help reduce the amount of aural clutter in your life. Rid your home of as many TVs and radios as possible, or limit them to just one room. Most electronic entertainment just feeds mind chatter and works counter to the notion of slowing down.
Be early.
Plan to arrive 15 minutes early to every appointment. This one practice minimizes the stress that arises from traffic, getting lost, or underestimating travel time. It allows you to slow down and focus before a meeting or event.
Meditate."- Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) |

 "Radio and Television
Radio: A Static-Filled Future
"Radio has no future."13
—Lord Kelvin (British mathematician and physicist, former President of the
Royal Society), c. 1897
"You could put in this room, DeForest, all the radiotelephone apparatus that the country will ever need."14
—W. W. Dean (President of Dean Telephone Company), to American radio pioneer Lee DeForest, who had visited Dean's office to pitch his audion tube, 1907
"DeForest has said in many newspapers and over his signature that it would be possible to transmit the human voice across the Atlantic before many years."- Christopher Cerf and Victor S. Navasky, The Experts Speak : The Definitive Compendium of Authoritative Misinformation (Get the book.) |
| "With repetition in trusted sources—television, newspapers, radio, and magazines—the messages carried in these so-called news stories gradually take hold. It is a very effective way to influence both public opinion and health policy.
The issue of counterfeit drugs provides a good example. In the past few years, many American senior citizens have been taking bus rides to Canada to buy prescription drugs to avoid prices in the United States that average up to 70 percent higher. Others are ordering drugs by mail and over the Internet from Canadian pharmacies." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "In 1997, the FDA changed its rules so that TV and radio ads could include the condition or conditions a drug was designed to treat without presenting all of the information previously required—only major side effects and contraindications had to appear in the ad itself (audiences could be directed to a magazine ad or website for more complete information). For example, in a recent TV ad, after Zoloft whisks away clouds of depression, the words "See our ad in Shape magazine" flash briefly on the screen." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Minute amounts of energy are emitted as the radio beam is turned off and the nuclei return to random orientation.

 "Subsequently it was passed on to Canadian radio producer/broadcaster and health researcher Elaine Alexander who worked with the health care company, Flora, to prepare and distribute what is now called Flor-Essence.
Touted as a detoxifying tea, this eight-herb formula is one of the most widely used herbal tonics by cancer patients today. An estimated 35 percent of cancer patients in Canada alone use Flor-Essence or other Essiac formulas, according to researchers at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas."- Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) |
 "One friend who saw Harry several days a week at church activities noticed that Harry was "nervous and agitated," "fidgety," "forgetful," and "like a radio turned to all channels." But in general, Harry managed to keep his inner turmoil from almost everyone who knew him.
Eight months after starting on Paxil, Harry's dose was again increased, this time to 60 mg per day, somewhat above the recommended maximum of 50 mg per day for depression, but well within medical practice habits. Harry's mental state drastically worsened."- Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) |
 "The thermal ablation treatment techniques that transfer laser, radio frequency, microwave, or cryotherapy through either a percutaneous or a transvaginal probe (which were evaluated between 2000 and 2003) are largely outdated now and are not thought to be an effective form of treatment.

Four clinical problems that require special consideration in fibroid cases are heavy, prolonged, or frequent bleeding; infertility; enlarged kidneys; and pregnancy complications."- Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) |
 "A movie about a genius with paranoid schizophrenia, A Beautiful Mind, won multiple Oscars. radio talk show hosts began to talk semiknowl-edgeably about borderline personality disorder and the differences between SSRI and MAOI antidepressants. The wife of the vice president of the United States, Tipper Gore, revealed in a national op-ed that she had suffered from clinical depression.1 In 1999, Bill Clinton convened a high-profile summit meeting on the nation's mental health, and his surgeon general released the first report on that topic. Even George W."- Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) |
 "The Buffalo Lupus Project, working together with the community's Toxic Waste/Lupus Coalition, held a massive two-month radio campaign asking those with lupus and other autoimmune diseases to join its lupus registry. It distributed pamphlets titled "Are Toxic Waste Sites Affecting Your Health?" In 2003, Anderson took over as community health coordinator for the Buffalo Lupus Project."- Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "The proper signal has to reach the antenna in order for the signal to be received—and for music, rather than static, to come out of the radio. When endocrine disruptors mimic real estrogen they can wreak havoc in one of two ways: first, they can block the estrogen receptor site altogether, keeping our natural estrogen from triggering the responses it's supposed to so that it can do its normal job in the body. When estrogen signals are blocked, it prevents our hormones from sending out any signal at all." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "Suddenly, instead of music emerging from the radio, these imposters send out scrambled signals—a completely different kind of sound. The cells in the body begin to respond inappropriately, acting as if they've been signaled by real estrogen to cause other cellular interactions to take place when in fact these exchanges are not what the body intended at all. The cells begin to dance to the wrong tune—engaging in precarious missteps." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "Betty Jean, who as councilwoman had a weekly radio show, informed listeners that there was a toxic waste site in their area and that the coalition was concerned that if someone lived in the area that person might be more likely to have lupus. She asked them to call in. "Every week we heard from more and more who were afflicted," she says. The coalition decided to go door to door and try to find out who else was ill." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
 "In addition, at the height of his popularity Peale was reaching millions of people through his weekly radio program, "The Art of Living," which was broadcast on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) for fifty-four years. His sermons were mailed to 750,000 people a month, and 4,000 people attended his two Sunday sermons at Marble Church every week. His Guideposts magazine had a circulation of more than 4.5 million.43
At the same time, Pealism—as some called it—was obviously far from an orthodox way of understanding the Christian message."- Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "I first heard about maca when I interviewed a researcher on my New York radio show who found that feeding maca to rodents increased their spontaneous erections. (This study was published in the April 2000 issue of the medical journal Urology.) Maca root contains a chemical called p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, which is reputed to have aphrodisiac qualities. It also contains a bunch of chemicals found in other plants from the Brassica family (broccoli, cabbage, etc.), which are documented to be cancer preventive."- Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "In its 2004 edition of Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients with Acute Stress Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder EMDR for Post-Traumatic Stress and Trauma I FIRST HEARD about EMDR therapy back in the 90s when I was doing my daily radio show on the (sadly) now-defunct Eyada.com. I interviewed someone who practiced it, and frankly, I thought it was a little kooky. Well, it's not. (PTSD), the association gave EMDR therapy its "highest level of recommendation" for the treatment of trauma." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) |
| "This is manifest on all sides by articles in magazines, in the newspapers, frequent references to psychiatry and psychiatric problems on the radio and in the movies."48 Demand for psychiatric treatment grew tremendously. For the first time, the image of the mysterious but all-knowing analyst became a stock-in-trade of cartoonists.49 There was much eloquent writing by analysts and their followers about the transformative possibilities of therapy." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) |
 "Reports in newspapers and magazines and on radio and television hailed each new medicine that was introduced as another therapeutic wonder produced by modern medicine. Almost always these reports were exaggerated, but the media knew what their audience wanted to hear. The Saturday Evening Post, for instance, did not mention a drug in its editorial columns during 1936. Twenty years later, in 1956, the magazine's stories referred to seventy-two different medicines a total of 330 times. "- 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.) |
 "We created electron microscopes, radio telescopes, X-ray cameras, mass spectrometers, and bubble chambers. We peered into the depths of matter and out into the further reaches of space. How did the Universe come to be? How does it function? Where is it going?
Now, after millennia of seeking, we seem to be closing in on some of the answers. We can look out to the edges of the Universe, back to times when the first galaxies were forming; we can begin to understand how it all started and how it has developed."- Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "However, shortly before he died, he commented on the impact that radio and television were having on the integration of humanity. Technologies like these, he said, were bringing the Omega Point much closer. Had he lived to see the impact of computers and the Internet, he would probably have seen the Omega Point coming even sooner. The End of Time At the Omega Point, our evolution's ever-accelerating trend would at last come to an end. But this would not, it must be emphasized, signify an end to the world, at least not in the sense in which we normally mean it." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "It has come through many different sources: parents, teachers, friends, strangers, books, magazines, radio, television, films, advertising. It is part of the fabric of our society. No single person was responsible. Another very important difference between clinical and cultural hypnosis concerns the depth of the conditioning. In his book Waking Up, the psychologist Charles Tart shows that ordinary hypnosis is a voluntary and limited relationship between consenting adults." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "And, as we go through life, the daily deluge of television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and billboards reinforces the belief that happiness comes from what happens to us. Wherever we turn, the principle is confirmed, encouraging us to become "human havings" and "human doings" rather than human beings. Somewhere deep inside, most of us know that this way of operating has its limits. We recognize that whether or not we are content depends as much on how we are inside ourselves as on how things are around us." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) |
