"Possessing such information, he suggested, was stress reducing in ways that might explain the strong evidence for health benefits.23 That same year, another epidemiologist, John Cassel, also talked about the apparent stress-reducing effects of what he called "social supports" in both animal communities and human societies. "These might be envisioned," he suggested, "as the protective factors buffering or cushioning the individual from the physiologic or psychologic consequence of exposure to the stressor situation."24 "Buffer" or "information"?" - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"It is the closest you can get to reducing subjective feelings to the simple binary multiple choice of a REG machine. In Braud's hands, staring and being stared at became state of the art, a stalker's paradise. Participants would be placed in a room and be attached to silver chloride palmar electrodes, a skin resistance amplifier and a computer. The only other equipment in the room was a Hitachi color Camcorder VM-2250, which was to be the implement of spying. This small video camera would be attached to a 19-inch Sony Trinitron in another room, two hallways and four doors away." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Apparently, the warm salt water helps to draw excessive toxic fluid out of the gum tissue, thereby reducing swelling, alleviating pain, and killing harmful bacteria. This allows the gums to heal and keep the teeth healthy, too. If used in an irrigating device, the warm salt water reaches all gum line crevices and periodontal pockets, which is important for complete reversal of gum disease and tooth decay. Rinsing or irrigating the mouth with salt water several times a day is usually enough to prevent and reverse gum disease." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "By drastically reducing the concentration of oxygen in the cell environment, out of necessity the genes generate a new blueprint that enables them to survive without oxygen and instead use some of the metabolic waste products for energy. Mutated cells can take up, for example, lactic acid, and by metabolizing it, they are able to cover some of their energy needs. Although this abnormal type of cell metabolism has harmful side effects, by doing this, the body can avert, at least for a little while, the fatal poisoning of the affected organ or the blood." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Instead of reducing cancer occurrence and cancer mortality, the current medical approaches used to treat cancer actually contribute to increase both. Blaming the genes doesn't help. The genetic blueprint in a cancerous cell is no longer aligned with the original genetic blueprint (DNA) found in other normal cells of the body. However, its genes didn't suddenly decide or volunteer to be "mal-aligned" or malignant, as they call it. Genetic blueprints do not act on anything, but when the cell environment changes, they become altered or mal-aligned with the original blueprints." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"It's also reducing blood flow to your brain's prefrontal lobes where planning and conscious problem solving take place. These defensive responses would be well and good if you were a caveman and there was a tiger to run away from or a hostile neighboring tribe to fight. But these are not healthy responses when sitting in an airplane seat for four hours, unless, of course, there's a tiger or a hostile tribesman sitting in the seat next to you. The first step is to recognize that your unconscious intentions are triggering an internal voice that might be saying: "I don't have any control." - 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.)

"Vitamin E: (a) Thins blood by reducing platelet clumping. (b) Makes arteries more flexible. (c) Reduces oxidation of LDL. (d) All of the above. 43. The average American diet provides: (a) An abundance of vitamin E. (b) Just enough vitamin E to prevent heart disease. (c) Less than optimal amounts of vitamin E. (d) Plenty of vitamin E if enough fruits and vegetables are eaten. 44. Natural vitamin E is: (a) dl-alpha-tocopherol. (b) Mixed tocopherols from food. (c) SRR-alpha-tocopherol. (d) All of the above. 45." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) "By increasing the production of interferon. By reducing the likelihood of a cold progressing to pneumonia. More vitamin C is needed during colds. It is also interesting that vitamin C is found in high concentrations in phagocytes and lymphocytes, indicating that vitamin C may have important functional roles in these immune system cells. Vitamin C increases the production of interferon in the body. Interferon inhibits viral proliferation, including colds. Lack of vitamin C has been found to raise the risk of many infections, especially pneumonia." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) "More research is needed to confirm if gamma-tocopherol is effective in reducing the risk of prostate cancer. Gamma-tocopherol may be more potent than alpha-tocopherol as an anticoagulant. MIXED TOCOPHEROLS There is general agreement that increased levels of vitamin E in the diet reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, studies on the cardiovascular protective effects of supplementary vitamin E given as synthetic alpha-tocopherol have had inconsistent results." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) "Also, tannins in tea and coffee can oxidize thiamin, reducing the availability of thiamin in the diet. Extreme thiamin Table 1-1 RDAs for the B vitamins are bold and the AIs are not bold.

"Third, ACE inhibitors do have a limited effect in reducing the risk of heart failure and death from strokes. The HOPE study found that the treated group suffered fewer heart failures (9% compared to the 11.5% for the placebo), fewer deaths from diabetes (6.4% compared with 7.6%), and fewer deaths from all causes (10.4% to 12.2%).24 A meta-evaluation of five major studies involving more than 12,000 patients found similar results. Treatment led to fewer heart failures (13.7% to 18.9%) and fewer deaths from any cause (23% to 26." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) "Stenting does open blood vessels wider, reducing pain from angina pectoris (literally, "strangling in the chest"). Thus, in the narrow and immediate sense, the operation accomplishes what was intended. But does it save lives? According to a 1999 editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine, "it is disappointing that no study has shown that stents favorably influence mortality." In fact, several studies report higher death rates among those receiving stents." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) "What this means is that the entire array of medical intervention—beginning with screening, but also including surgery and chemotherapy—has not been effective in reducing mortality from breast cancer. This is a very disturbing finding. Even worse: for reasons not well understood, but at least in part because of earlier and better diagnosis, the annual incidence of breast cancer increased by 55% between 1950 and 1991.49 Despite our best efforts—huge expenditures which led to early detection and diagnosis, our efforts to control and hopefully reduce mortality from breast cancer have also failed." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) "There is little doubt that lowering blood pressure in hypertensive adults is beneficial, reducing mortality from several common diseases. Small reductions in diastolic pressure (5—6 mm of mercury) could reduce the incidence of coronary disease by 14% and the incidence of strokes by 42%.39 The Task Force recommends with a grade of "A" periodic blood pressure screening for all adults." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Chlorella has also been credited with: • boosting immunity • reducing high blood pressure • reducing the risk of diabetes • helping reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome • reducing symptoms of menopause • reducing the risk of anemia • promoting cell growth • healing wounds Chlorella contains chlorophyll, which can help speed the cleansing of the bloodstream. And its high content of DNA and RNA has been found to protect against the effects of ultraviolet radiation." - Ronald Klatz and Robert Goldman, Stopping the Clock: Longevity for the New Millenium (Get the book.)

"In the next chapter you will take the first step in the RENEW program by reducing exposure to toxins in your external environment. Then we will turn to three more actions that you can do to encourage the elimination of toxins from your body and continue to improve your health status. In total, the RENEW program breaks down as follows: Reduce Eliminate [\Jourish f^nergize \/\/ellness ?Reduce (exposure to toxins in your environment) ?Eliminate (current toxins in your body) ?Nourish (your body's cells to support their natural structure, function, and capacity to detoxify) ?" - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"At the very least, chiropractic treatments and massage can contribute to cognitive health by reducing anxiety and lowering stress. As you will see later, stress increases levels of certain hormones that may adversely affect the neuronal functioning of the hippocampus and other parts of the brain central to memory. The nervous system holds the key to the body's incredible potential to heal itself. ?Sir Jay Holder, M.D., D.C., Ph.D." - Peter J.

"The men joked as they followed the age-old ritual of reducing the cow to meat for their family. The butchering was timed for late fall, when cooler temperatures minimize maggot-laying flies and make the meat easier to preserve. The cow would provide meat for two families for the season as well as for several friends who would receive gift packages of beef. Butchering cows within city limits was illegal, Tonino told me, but this giant of a man lived by a more traditional Sardinian code." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "Those are exercises that have been associated with reducing the risk of falls. Then there are strength exercises, which run all the way from weightlifters, who probably put themselves into a disadvantageous state from overdeveloping their muscles, to people who do some modest amount of weightlifting or antigravity exercise that strengthens their muscles. The data suggest that a moderate level of sustained exercise is quite helpful. There are studies that show that people who run marathons tend to have much better cardiovascular systems than people who don't." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "With much better public health measures like cleaner water supplies, more years of education, improved social-economic status, these things are all reducing the number of lottery balls. The best way to think about reaching 100 is: "The older you get, the healthier you've been." Ponce de Leon's legendary search for the Fountain of Youth is one of the many tales that illustrate the desire to overcome aging. Steven Austad: The question is—and here's where I think the best health practices are really important—if you live to be 100 years old, what sort of 100-year-old are you going to be?" - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"As she evaluated her life, she also found herself questioning what she felt were shortcomings in the traditional medical model. reducing illness into "cellular compartments" meant missing the holism of the person with the disease. She believed the divisions between the realms of the mind and body were artificial and questioned the reliance on drugs and surgery coupled with the lack of preventative care. The lack of self-care for patients and for physicians also concerned her." - 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.)

"It also can cause haze, reducing visibility in national parks and wilderness areas. The substances that make up air pollution include gases such as sulfur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide; particulate matter such as smoke, dust, fumes, and aerosols; pesticides, chemicals, toxic elements, radioactive materials, and several other substances. These are considered primary air pollutants, meaning they are generated directly from a source or process. Then there are also secondary air pollutants formed in the air when primary pollutants react or interact." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Ongoing medical studies show that embracing this system can alter your biochemistry by reducing stress-related Cortisol and enhancing IgA, a disease-fighting antibody and an essential component of healthy immune systems. A recent study we conducted, in conjunction with the Mayo Clinic and the National Research Center, shows how the Brilliant Health system strongly correlates with two important heralds of better health outcomes: perceived high quality of life and perceived emotional well-being." - 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.)

"While activists continue to push for changes such as reducing the pesticides in foods, higher standards for our air and drinking water, and tougher standards for heavy metal exposure, my prescription focuses on what you can do right now as an individual. So much that's out there currently is about what you should not do; RENEW emphasizes the healthful solutions you can follow, and the positive things you can do for your family, your home, and yourself. WHAT IS DETOXIFICATION?" - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "And I'm thrilled to be witnessing finally a growing united effort and interest in reducing the level of toxins in our lives. My mission in teaching people how to live in a toxic world is a personal one. More than twenty years ago I was battling poor health, weight gain, and fatigue, and it was then that I discovered the natural healing principles that would ultimately change my life. I realized that by adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle—one that involved regular internal cleansing and detoxification—I could regain control of my body and my well-being." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"In general, besides reducing the concentration of excitotoxins themselves, there are three major areas in which nutritional supplements may help in preventing damage by excitotoxins: 1) reducing the production of "bad"eicosanoids; 2) reducing free radical damage and 3) improving energy production. Reducing " Bad" Eicosanoids: Enter the Zone I took this subtitle from an important book written by Dr. Barry Sears called, The Zone: A Dietary RoadMap.u When I read his book I realized that Dr." - Russell L.

"Exercise to Lower Cholesterol_ When you exercise aerobically for up to an hour a day, you are increasing the good HDL cholesterol and reducing the bad LDL cholesterol. It may take three, four, or five months, but you will see a noticeable change. A Protocol to Lower High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Hypertension is one of the top killers. It is estimated that 60 million Americans suffer from it. Stress is a major cause. Being under pressure on the job, or trying to do too much, or any of the hundreds of tension-filled situations in life may cause elevated blood sugar and stress hormones." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)
