"Is the size of the letters in the text very important when we train to read with training lenses? Which size is the best one? g. Is it true that some people are able to reach visual acuity over 20/20 with the methods of visual reeducation? h. As for different acuity between two eyes: Which difference (in diopters, if possible) requires training with reading with suitable lenses on, blindfolding the weak eye at first, so as to make it equal to the good one? When isn't such a difference important? i." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"The common, one-size-fits-all drug dose ignores our biological individuality, which is influenced by gender, race, body size, individual genetics, variations in nutritional status, and other factors. For example, women generally require lower doses than men and may suffer serious side effects when given larger, man-sized doses. In 2001, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) reported that in early drug studies for establishing drug doses, 78 percent of the subjects were men. No wonder so many women cannot tolerate standard doses of top-selling drugs! Thanks to such crusaders as Jay S." - Hyla Cass, Supplement Your Prescription: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutrition (Get the book.)

"To translate how poorly this "2 percent equals abnormal" system works, consider this: if we applied this approach to getting you a pair of shoes, any size between a 4 and 13 would be "medically normal." If a man was accidentally given a size 5 shoe or a woman a size 12, the doctor would say that the shoe sizes they were given are "normal," and there is no problem! Simply changing the normal range for the TSH test to less than 3 increased the number of Americans with thyroid illness from 13 million to 26 million." - Jacob Teitelbaum, Pain Free 1-2-3: A Proven Program for Eliminating Chronic Pain Now (Get the book.)

"Lucy picked out her size 4 clothes, and Carmen picked out her barely fitting size 14s. As they were trying things on in the dressing room side by side, Lucy glanced sideways at her friend and said, "Carmen, perhaps you'd have better luck at a store for umm, bigger women, like Lane Bryant or The Avenue." Carmen felt angry at Lucy, but actually it wasn't Lucy's offense per se that made her feel terrible." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"From a social standpoint, size matters. From a physical standpoint, all giving, regardless of the gift's size, has health payoffs. In fact, researchers have found that Bonnie's form of direct aid has distinct advantages. When our giving involves personal contact and connection with the people we help, we may reap even greater health gains, such as fewer colds and episodes of flu, quicker recovery from surgery, relief from insomnia, and even a reduced tendency to overeat." - 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.)

"Rozin focused on portion size and time spent eating. He found that serving sizes in France, both in restaurants and supermarkets, are considerably smaller than they are in the United States. This matters because most people have what psychologists call a unit bias—we tend to believe that however big or small the portion served, that's the proper amount to eat. Rozin also found that the French spend considerably more time enjoying their tiny servings than we do our Brobdingnagian ones. " - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Strangers would remark on the size of the key. After explaining the symbolic meaning it held for me, I'd say, "Big heart, big key." Long before we were married, I'd known that my husband had a big heart. Countless times, I'd received or witnessed his big, compassionate heart in action. By contrast, I was known for my big thoughts—and my big data sets! Yet, like the Grinch on Christmas morning, I felt my heart grow three sizes during those two weeks. I thank my community of neighbors, family, and friends for this palpable growth." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"Its legs and arms are withered, its neck the size of a straw, and its mouth the size of a pinhole. It is frantically hungry, but with that tiny mouth, it cannot be fed. Its power comes not from meeting its own desires but from its overwhelming neediness and deprivation. This is an apparition that rushes in only one direction on the health staircase: downward. And it tries to take everyone else down with it." - 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.)

"They are most commonly about the size of a small pea. Magnetic therapy is natural, painless, drugless and has no known adverse effects. Many arthritic sufferers swear by it and are adamant that it relieves their pain. However, anyone who is pregnant or wears a pacemaker should consult their doctor before trying this therapy. Increasing interest in magnetic therapy has resulted in a wide range of products being developed. Magnets have been put inside body supports for the back, knees, ankles, wrist, elbows, head and neck." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) "Used by many natural therapists and chiropractors, the magneton, or Needleless Magneton, a 1979 invention developed by Dr Zeydel, is about the size of a matchbox. Gentle but powerful radiation from an inner core stimulates or sedates acupuncture points on which the magneton is placed. Cellular tissue is thus energised and the body's metabolism balanced. Magneton therapy is preferred by some to traditional acupuncture as it eliminates possible problems connected with skin puncture or penetration and, of course, there is no pain." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) "The result is the same: reduced size of the air passages, and reduced flow of air to the lungs, with the symptoms of asthma. INFLAMMATION Inflammation may be difficult to visualise in the airways, but compare it to what happens when you have a sprained ankle or wrist: that part of your body swells up. The swelling can happen rapidly, and doesn't necessarily mean there is an infection. What it does mean is that the body has mobilised its defence system, the white blood cells, to go to the site where there is a problem." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"This 'operation' was much more to his taste: I purchased the Lancet of May 7 [in which this technique was described], provided myself with a very fine needle and one of a larger size, and proceeded to puncture the lower end of the scrotum... After two insertions of the fine needle, without any apparent effect, I took the larger one. On its withdrawal an [sic] single drop of clear fluid followed. I endeavoured then, by pressure to force more, but could not succeed.... I abandoned the operation in despair of doing any good." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"No trial of this size and duration can be perfectly executed. There will always be dropouts, patients who miss screenings, lost data points, and the like. However the Canadian study is as close to perfect as such a trial can be (Baines 1994). The commentary by Woolf and Lawrence (1997) on the politics that swirled around the 1997 nih "consensus conference" offers more than an insight into the advocacy for screening mammography in the United States; it offers an accessible analysis of the fashion in which political debate can distort scientific debate." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Regardless of their size, however, all programs have the same basic parts, which can be thought of as the commands that launch the program (begin), instruct it what to do (work), and tell it that the work is finished (completion). Before an actual program is written, computer programmers often outline what they hope to accomplish in broad terms. Because it's not the true program itself, this is often called a pseudo program." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Now on the market worldwide, these appliances vary in size to cover a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Heavy industrial air purifiers can protect workers from the damaging effects of harmful chemicals, whilst other models purify the air in offices, classrooms, surgeries and hospital wards. Some purifiers also allow an air ioniser to be built in. Air purifiers not only provide clean fresh air but also have therapeutic benefits for people affected by asthma, sinus, hay fever or respiratory disorders." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"To put it simply, it is in the size of these groupings that water differs. The smaller the groupings, the more bioavailable the water is—the more easily it is able to pass through cell walls, to circulate through your body as a whole. What holds water molecules together in clusters is surface tension. This is what you see when you wash your car and the water beads up in droplets on the hood. When washing your car, you use detergent to break that surface tension?which makes the water wetter and better able to clean." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Backbends, in particular, squeeze the discs like a sponge, so that when you telease the stretch, the discs soak up water and fill up to their original size. ? Rebounding is great exercise, particularly for moving lymph. Yoga is spectacular exercise in that it stretches every part of your body and is renowned for its ability to relieve sttess and depression. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's All About Energy All life is energy. Every nerve impulse in your body is an electric current. Our muscles are powered by chemical energy." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Infarct size was found to be significantly reduced in the carnitine group compared to its matched controls. In addition to limiting tissue damage, there was also a reduction in ischemic arrhythmias and in heart enlargement. Unfortunately, there was also a difference in mortality: more deaths noted in the placebo group. The researchers concluded that L-carnitine may protect cardiac tissue as well as prevent cardiac complications of heart attack, including fatality. One more example comes from the Journal oj the American College oj Cardiology." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"When grains, such as wheat and corn, are refined food particle size is reduced through grinding, and fiber is either similarly reduced in size or removed altogether. The result is a wheat- or corn-containing food that is absorbed almost as quickly as pure sugar. Examples: Sugars, such as sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup, are found in nearly all nonfruit sweets, including desserts, doughnuts, pastries, and muffins, as well as soft drinks. Refined grains are used to make bagels, breads, pastas, and pizzas—and most whole-grain breads and pastas are also problematic." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"The resulting fruit was up to twice the normal size, and 90% of it was completely free of the blemishes and scabs which the trees normally produced (right). The larger apples were plentiful and delicious. Biophotons in Water When water molecules are structured in the shape of a hexagon, they naturally contain an abundance of biophotons. The following images of biophotons in a drop of water were captured with a somatoscope at 30,000 magnification. To the knowledge of researchers Mr. and Mrs. Excelex and the author, the biophoton detail shown in figure 14." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"The intensity of this lobotomy-like effect depends upon the individual's sensitivity to the drug and the size of the dose, and has nothing to do with the individual's psychological problems or supposed mental illness. This is intoxication masquerading as therapy. _R h a p te p 17 Dilemmas and Difficulties in the Role of the Medical Expert CAN MEDICAL EXPERTS LIKE me believe what we are told by people who claim that their bad behaviors were driven by drugs? Have they been spellbound by medication or are they conning us with misleading stories?" - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"FDA regulations specify the basic form of the label, including everything from the size of the print to the specific headings and subheadings, such as "Warnings," "Precautions," "Adverse Reactions," "Indications," and "Dosage and Administration." Black-box warnings are used at times to describe problems of particular urgency, such as the potential for medication-induced abuse and dependence, suicidality, or death. Drug companies almost always publish their approved labels in the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR), a voluminous book that is mailed free to healthcare providers around the country." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Just one example: the size of a 25 year old's liver is often twice that of a person of 70. • The use of antioxidant supplements at a maintenance level may provide the ultimate defense against premature aging and a compromised immune system. • At therapeutic levels, antioxidants may actually play a significant role in reversing many of the effects of aging and disease. General Recommendations Over the years, I have formulated a number of antioxidant formulas for various companies. In fact, this is my specialty—the design of cutting edge nutritionals using standardized herbs and isolates." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"These bacteria were found to be polymorphic; they mutated and became smaller in size, thrived in the absence of oxygen, and became more deadly, while the toxins they produced became more poisonous. As bacteria incubated and multiplied, they spread to other parts of the body and set up new infection sites in the weakest areas. In almost every case, when a root-filled tooth of a patient with a degenerative disease—even a tooth that showed no apparent problem on X-ray—was extracted and embedded in an animal, that animal would often, but not always, develop the patient's disease. ?" - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)
