"He came to believe that this was a special wavelength in regard to the body, and he soon made a connection to the photo-repair mechanisms by which cells repair the damage done to them by ulttaviolet rays from the sun and other sources. Photo-repair is a well verified but little understood process, and Popp made the daring intellectual leap of positing that to conduct photo-repair, cells must themselves be emitting light. As he probed farther, he was shocked to discover that there is one wavelength at which the cellular photo-repair process works most efficiently." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Popp also knew that patients with a skin condition called xeroderma pigmentosum eventually die of skin cancer because their photo-repair system doesn't work and so doesn't repair solar damage. Popp was shocked to learn that photo-repair works most efficiently at 380 nanometres - the very same wavelength the cancer-causing compounds would react to and scramble. This was where Popp made his logical leap. Nature was too perfect for this to be simple coincidence. If the carcinogens only react to this wavelength, it must somehow be linked to photo-repair." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "It is very well known from biological laboratory experiments that if you can blast a cell with UV light so that 99 per cent of the cell, including its DNA, is destroyed, you can almost entirely repair the damage in a single day just by illuminating the cell with the same wavelength of a very weak intensity. To this day, conventional scientists don't understand this phenomenon, but nobody has disputed it. Popp also knew that patients with a skin condition called xeroderma pigmentosum eventually die of skin cancer because their photo-repair system doesn't work and so doesn't repair solar damage." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

Most of the time these atypical cells self-destruct or are recognized by the body's defense system—but sometimes they start to replicate and go unchecked." - H. Gilbert Welch M.D. M.P.H., Should I Be Tested for Cancer? Maybe Not and Here's Why (Get the book.)

"Typical daily dose: 400-2,000 IU Vitamin C Vital to repairing many of the body's systems, vitamin C is also the single most important co-factor for repair of collagen breaks in your blood vessels and skin. If you want smooth arteries, smooth skin, and a reduced risk for sunburn, be sure to take more vitamin C. It also boosts other micronutrients. For example, without it beta-carotene can actually act as a dangerous pro-oxidant instead of a beneficial antioxidant. Animals that can manufacture vitamin C, which humans cannot, produce much more of it during times of stress and infection." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"In 2006, researchers from the University of Florida discovered that cigarette smoke can turn normal breast cells cancerous by blocking their ability to repair themselves, eventually causing tumor development. In other words, the toxins in cigarette smoke prevent a damaged cell from making repairs to itself. This explains why smoking is associated with such a high risk of cancer. The risk of developing smoking-related cancers increases with total lifetime exposure to cigarette smoke. Also, secondhand smoke significantly increases the risk of lung cancer and heart disease in non-smokers." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"More recently, UCLA scientists performing a lab study noted that naringenin, a flavonoid found in grapefruit and oranges, helped repair damaged DNA in cancer cells. This knack for repairing DNA may also help prevent cancer because it is thought to prevent rapid spreading of mutations in these cells. Caution: Grapefruit may interact with some drugs for cholesterol, blood pressure, heart rhythm, depression, anxiety, HIV, immunosuppression, allergies, impotence, and seizures, possibly due to its natural phytochemicals called furanocoumarins." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Endovascular Technologies (a wholly owned subsidiary of Guidant, the company that manufactures implantable defibrillators) manufactured a $10,000 device to repair aortic aneurysms that dangerously malfunctioned in a third of the 7600 patients in whom it had been used. Did this frequency of malfunction stop Endovascular Technologies? No. The company reported 7 percent of these events to the FDA and sold on. According to a plea agreement entered into with the United States government in 2003, the company belatedly disclosed another 2628 serious malfunctions and 12 deaths. No problem." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "It soon became obvious that an infection had developed in his sternum, where the surgeon had cut through the bone on his way to repair the coronary arteries. The surgeon partially reopened the incision to let the infection drain out and put Mr. Wilkins on antibiotics. Spring came, and Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins returned north about six weeks after his surgery. He needed to see me every two or three days to change the drain in his chest so that the infection would not close over and become an abscess again." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Healthy bones undergo constant remodeling to repair minor injuries, maintain strength in response to stress, and provide the body with a reservoir of calcium. The bone remodeling process is accomplished by a balance between the activity of cells that absorb the calcium out of existing bone, called osteoclasts, and cells that lay down new bone, called osteoblasts. In women, this balance changes somewhere between the ages of 30 and 45, so that more bone is absorbed than is replaced, leading to the net loss of calcium." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"The faster these toxins are removed, the quicker the body can fight disease and repair the damage done by these "treatments." Why Use Flor-Essence Preventively? Taking steps to prevent cancer may be the best medicine one can take in the fight against this widespread disease. "I believe that no matter what your risk factors are, you can prevent cancer," said Natural Pharmacist Dave Foreman, R.Ph. "My theory is a simple one: Give your body the tools it needs and it will fix itself." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"They were frustrated by the fact that the wire used by the ancient recorders broke frequently and required constant and delicate repair. Finally Father Gemelli, as was his habit when exasperated, called on his deceased father for help. When they restarted their own recorder the two fathers heard the voice of Gemelli senior rather than the Gregorian chant on which they were working. It said, "Of course I'll help you! I am always with you." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"It's time to repair these communication lines and make sure your child understands what is happening to him or her and is actively involved in getting better. Find a low-stress, quiet time for a casual family meeting. Frame the situation as it is—a family issue. If you allow all family members a chance to share their frustrations, your child will not feel singled out. Admit to and apologize for getting angry and impatient too quickly. Siblings can do the same. Then give the child a chance to talk with loving, supportive prompting." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Enzymes can be used to support a healthy exercise regimen by improving nutrient absorption in order to increase energy levels and endurance, reducing inflammation that may occur as a result of exercise, improving circulation to help tissues repair after exercise, and balancing the body's pH, which can suffer as a result of lactic acid buildup in the muscles. See also athletic performance and energy and endurance." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"People who have adequate folic acid intake, however, may have a better capacity to repair DNA damage caused by acetaldehyde." As long as you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, beans and peas, and fortified breads and cereals, you should meet the recommended daily allowance for folic acid (400 micrograms). Vitamin D. This powerful vitamin isn't just about boosting bones! There's so much more to vitamin D than enhancing calcium absorption; its anticancer benefit is just one other possibility." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"In families in which the dynamic has become explosive and seriously damaged, it may be helpful to repair communication by holding a family meeting in the presence of a family therapist. Specialists in family dynamics are trained in steering conversations in healthy directions and curtailing hurtful rants or accusations. A therapist can work like a referee. Discuss these ideas and set the precedent for healthy communication by resisting the urge to yell or scold, let alone humiliate or embarrass. Stay calm." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Meanwhile, he never completed the simple waterline repair. Furthermore, Vernon's explanation doesn't fit with how it all actually began—using the tanker truck to ride home after playing with machinery at the construction site. In reality, no psychological explanation can account for his behavior because he was driven by medication madness with profound spellbinding and maniclike symptoms. Throughout his escapades Vernon never applied his medical knowledge to himself. He never grasped that he was toxic on a huge dose of stimulant drugs, literally being driven mad by them." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"The dole of free grain to citizens of Rome was restored and funds were allocated for repair of public buildings and aqueducrs and for the salaries of municipal professors and physicians. The administration of the newly conquered tetritories was specified, with Sicily ruled directly from Constantinople, Corsica and Sardinia from Africa, and the remainder of Italy divided into eleven administrative districts." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"They answered, and said: 'Our unanimous advice is that thou shouldst build a great house, station a guard at the entrance thereof, and make known in the whole of thy realm that all pregnant women shall repair thither together with their midwives, who are to remain with them when they are delivered. When the days of a woman to be delivered are fulfilled, and the child is born, it shall be the duty of the midwife to kill it, if it be a boy." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"Today, conventional medicine uses energy to restructure damaged nerves, repair aneurisms, destroy cancer cells, and break up bone-based scar tissue. For example, Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a technique that uses low-level electrical currents to reactivate nerves in the arms and legs of people who suffer paralysis resulting from spinal cord injury, head injury, or stroke. Biofield therapy—using simple mentalistic means to manipulate BioEM energies—is much more powerful and versatile than conventional energy medicine. It can often stand alone as a cure." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"The 8-hydroxylation of the guanine base is a frequent type of oxidative DNA damage, and 80HdG is subsequently excreted without further metabolism in the urine after repair in vivo by exonucleases. In previous studies, certain demographic factors and physiological characteristics such as gender and body mass [58] have been observed to influence urinary 80HdG concentration, so these factors may need to be considered in interpretation." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Both aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) and x-ray repair cross-complementing 1 (XRCC1) genes have surfaced as having a role in the response to dietary selenium. The glutamic acid 487 lysine polymorphism in the ALDH2 gene and the arginine 399 glutamine polymorphism in the XRCC1 gene are both associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer in individuals consuming a low-selenium diet. Additionally, this risk becomes even more pronounced in individuals who smoke or consume alcohol [105]. This may reflect the individual pharmokinetics in handling supplemental selenium." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "There are a number of processes that are important in carcinogenesis: carcinogen metabolism, hormone regulation, cell differentiation, DNA repair, apoptosis, cell growth cycle, and inflammatory response. Nutrients and other bioactive food components may play a role in each of these processes (Figure 3 [41]). In this section, breast cancer is used as an example and recent data regarding diet and gene interactions for some of these processes for breast cancer are described." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J.
