"One study reported in science news (2004) tested subjects who were asked to suppress unwanted memories and then had their brains scanned. The prefrontal cortex dampened activity in the hippocampus of these subjects, thus interfering with memory retrieval. In brief, repression and gating lessened access to oneself and one's history.5 Tranquilizers are indeed painkillers, and some tranquilizers can be given in higher doses to produce a surgical anesthesia. Here again we see an interchange between emotional and physical pain." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.)

"Joseph Biederman, a prominent ADHD researcher, claims there are 8 million ADHD adults (AMA science news, 2004). A recent national survey estimated a 4.4 percent prevalence of adult ADHD (Kessler et al., 2006a). A 2004 prescription study reported that 1 percent of the population aged 20-64 now take ADHD drugs, and the number quadrupled from 2000 to 2004 among adults aged 20-44 (Gardiner, 2005). What would bring adults to physicians seeking such a diagnosis and what spurs physicians to treat them? Several social factors appear to have contributed to the diagnostic expansion." - Peter Conrad, The Medicalization of Society: On the Transformation of Human Conditions into Treatable Disorders (Get the book.)

"A recent article in science news told the story of two identical twins, Elizabeth and Eleanor (not their real names), who were born on November 19, 1939. From the moment the twins were born, they were treated the same because their mother never wanted either girl to feel she was more—or less—favored. Elizabeth said, "We were treated like a unit—more like one person instead of two separate individuals."They moved apart more than forty years ago, in their early twenties, but they're still very similar. From the way they look to the things they care about, it's clear that they're identical twins." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"There is new evidence for my position: A report in science news (2005) that very early stress in animals can be "brain-altering and memory sapping."14 The implication is that early trauma can lead to serious memory loss later in life, and implicates the hippocampus in the problem. Based on our clinical experience with humans, it is not a stretch to apply these findings to our fellow human beings. What the researchers point out is that inadequate care and loving to young animals "delivers a delayed hit to the brain." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.)

"I was reading in science news about the Bose-Einstein condensate process for freezing gas, which could then be bombarded with lasers, making equal amounts of both hot and cold particles at the same time. This gave me an idea. I have had a palpable uterine fibroid for some time, so I used one of the Matrix Energetics techniques and "Two-Pointed" my uterus. As 1 did this I was thinking, "What would it be like if the tumor was a condensate, and lasers vaporized the composition of its particles so they were hot and cold at the same time ?" - Richard Bartlett, Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation (Get the book.)

"A study discussed in an October 2004 science news article compared two sets of mice. One set was normal; the other had a gene for serotonin secretion knocked out. They were then treated with the equivalent of Prozac (serotonin enhancers) at the ages of 4 days to 21 days (corresponding to ages from the third trimester of gestation to 8 years). When the mice matured, they were put under stress (foot shock). The mice that received "Prozac" early in life displayed anxiety and depression, showed less interest in exploring their environments, and took longer to avoid the foot shock." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.)

"Sandra Jacobson told Janet Raloff of science news Online that one of the big surprises was that most of the children who were affected by PCBs were middle-class.22 In other words, their learning or IQ deficits cannot be blamed on economic poverty, she said. "I thought that once they reached a structured school environment, whatever minor [PCB-induced] handicaps they had would be overcome. So I was quite surprised to find that, if anything, the effects were stronger and clearer at age 11 than they had been at age 4." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Nutrition science news 2: 100, 1997] In the most recent study, smokers who consumed high-dose beta carotene, mostly from supplements, were reported to experience an increase in their risk for cancer, from 174 to 368 per 10,000 women. [Journal National Cancer Institute 97: 1338, 2005] The advice from the French researchers who conducted the study and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is that smokers should avoid beta carotene supplements. But hold on. A critical reviewer reported that the final risk estimates were based on only 12 women smokers who took supplements!" - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Department of Health and Human Services, 2004); and one expert claims that there are 8 million adults with ADHD (AMA science news, 2004). Treatment rates have increased as well. From 2000 to 2002, 5 million children aged 5-17 were treated for ADHD, up from 2.6 million in 1994-96 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2004: 62).

"This is particularly true in those areas involved in memory retrieval (according to a study on humans published in science news, January 2006).2 There is just so much stimulation any organ, including the brain cells, can tolerate, particularly when this stimulation goes on over decades of our lives. One way we know about the imprint's role in orchestrating changes in the functioning of multiple systems is that after a reliving of the imprint, there are key and beneficial changes in many psychophysical systems— not excluding the survival functions of heart rate and blood pressure." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.)

"For example, a science news article, published August 1, 1998, presented a review of data about radiation treatment after surgery for lung cancer. The immense amount of data, which was collected from nine studies over a 30-year period, actually showed the two-year survival rate after lung cancer surgery to be 48 percent for patients who got post-surgical radiation treatments, and 55 percent for patients who underwent surgery alone.
