"As Persinger discovered in his experiments, stimulating the right temporal lobe portion of the brain generates the sense, presence, or feeling of spiritual visions, both good and bad. Aiming magnetic fields at the amygdala of the brain at the same time colors the experience with intense emotion, just as occurs during a spiritual experience. By stimulating first one side of the amygdala and then the other, Persinger found that he could heighten the emotional complexion of the experience." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Insulin Receptor \ Chromium Insulin moving towards its receptor Activated <- Insulin Receptor Insulin (Glucose^) Insulin binds with its receptor stimulating movement of chromium into the cell Insulin (Glucose D Activated Insulin Receptor © Insulin binds with its receptor stimulating movement of glucose into the cell Activated <- Insulin Receptor Insulin (Glucose^ Chromium binds to the insulin receptor and causes more glucose to flow into the cell Figure 13-4 Chromium increases the power of insulin." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Proinflammatory substances gather in a seething commune of cytokines, enzymes (proteins responsible for stimulating other chemical reactions in Stage 4 Stage 5 Foam cells The lesion grows ... the body), and growth factors. They go by such names as interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and various interferons. These chemicals increase the stickiness of the endothelial wall and make it even more permeable to white blood cells and LDL cholesterol, which continue to enter and burrow inside." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"The sum of such stimulating leads to adaptation and consequently to refractive change. 28. About the issue of restoring and improving the extrinsic ocular muscles' coordination and central fixation/centralization, I'm following the Power Vision System and I'm getting much better: still 2 diopters per each eye, maybe at the moment just 1.5 thanks to the exercises you've proposed in your book. I still have one problem I'm not able to resolve. When I look up, I notice that my right eye stops before the left one, and they don't converge equally." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"A good physician assists patients in finding and stimulating their own healing capabilities. Over the years, I've learned that real healing takes place when the intention of the healer matches the intention of the patient. I was fortunate to come across another great teacher, Dr. Francis Peabody, who stated that one of the essential qualities of the clinician is an interest in humanity. He wrote in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) back in 1927, "The secret of the care of the patient is caring for the patient." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"It is my favorite aerobic and lymphatic stimulating exercise. MUSCLE BUILDING When you consider that muscle tissue is responsible for 80 percent of blood sugar uptake following a meal, it is easy to understand why every bit of extra muscle helps. Another important benefit of muscle tissue is that, unlike fat tissue, it constantly uses energy. The more muscle tissue you have, the higher your metabolic rate will be, because while you burn a certain amount of calories during exercise, your muscle tissue will continue to burn calories hours after you exercise." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Halting stimulating behavior such as overeating unmasks the fatigue that was always there. The power reserve in a battery is proportional to its use. The less we use it, the more life it has and the stronger it remains. Likewise, when there is continual stress on your body from stimulating foods and caffeine, it gives the false sensation that we have energy, when actually we are using up our nerve energy faster. This ages us. The fatigue is hidden by the stimulating (aging-inducing) effects of sugar, caffeine, and toxic protein load." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"So it has several effects: improved glucose tolerance without increasing insulin levels, stimulating the beta cells of the pancreas, suppressing the urge to eat sweets, and action similar to that of insulin. Unripe bitter melon is available at Asian markets, and the fresh juice is probably the best, per the traditional use in the studies. Bitter melon is difficult to make palatable, as its name implies. The best way to use this effective plant is to juice 2 ounces, and hold your nose as you drink it with celery-cucumber juice and some lemon." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The defocus stimulus is aimed at stimulating a compensation for the error as well as at increasing refractive capability, and that's why it must be temporary and limited to training sessions. To answer your questions: a. The results differ not so much depending on someone's age as on the time she's been wearing glasses (for how long a time her focusing has been "frozen" and helped with lenses, causing "disuse" or functional atrophy due to misuse). b." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"It raises the basic nitrogen exchange and is therefore a tonic which considering its stimulating properties cannot be compared with any other.100 PLANT CHLOROPHYLL HUMAN BLOOD HEMOGLOBIN MAGNESIUM AT THE CENTER IRON AT THE CENTER Figure 9: Plant chlorophyll and human blood hemoglobin One of the reasons chlorophyll is so effective may be its similarity to hemin. Hemin is part of hemoglobin, the protein fraction of human blood that carries oxygen." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"When we follow these rules, we end up with the kind of urban environment that renews our spirits rather than draining us —a city that is safe, stimulating, and convenient. These kinds of cities are also the ones that use resources most efficiently, have exceptionally healthy citizens, and, perhaps most important, attract migration from understimulating and inconvenient suburbs, which results in urban density and, ultimately, curbs sprawl. A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction by Christopher Alexander et al." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Meglitinides Only two drugs are in this class, and both cause a rapid rise in insulin levels by stimulating the beta cells independent of blood sugar levels. The activity of meglitinides peaks in one hour and lasts only three hours, which means they work best when taken shortly before meals so they can address rising glucose levels after eating. A downside of the meglitinides, however, is that you must remember to take them before each meal. Side effects may include low blood sugar, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, sore joints, headache, flu-like symptoms, and back pain." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.) "These simple exercises help lubricate the joints, improve range of motion, and keep the body functioning optimally by stimulating the circulation of synovial fluid around the joints. We strongly encourage you to include a few of these joint-mobility exercises as part of your warm-up routine. Simple examples of joint-mobility and dynamic-stretching exercises are arm circles and swings (see below). Several other joint-mobility and dynamic-stretching movements that you can include in your warm-up sessions are offered below. Arm Swings 1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. 2." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"The more stimulating your habits, the harder they are to break. The habits that are the most stimulating often are the most toxic; you feel ill and even depressed when you don't imbibe. For example, cheese, salt, and chocolate candy are all highly addictive, and it takes a prolonged period of abstinence to beat these addictions. Sugar withdrawal has been demonstrated to be similar to opioid withdrawal. Repeated intake of sugar creates neurochemical signs of opioid withdrawal, including anxiety and tremors." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Cholesterol Protection for Life, New Expanded Edition (Get the book.)

"Herbal and Natural Teas Caffeine elevates blood sugar by stimulating and aggravating the adrenal glucose axis, causing imbalanced and elevated blood sugars, and therefore keeps imbalancing the attempt of the healing diabetic body to achieve a normal physiology. Caffeine is also a diuretic and creates dehydration, which is a tendency in diabetes because the body is trying to rid itself of excess blood sugar by urination (diuresis)." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"As Korotkov realized, a better way to capture this light was to stir up photons by "evoking," or stimulating them into an excited state so that they would shine millions of times more intensely than normal. His equipment blended several techniques: photography, measurements of light intensity, and computerized pattern recognition. Korotkov's camera would take pictures of the field around each of the ten fingers, one finger at a time." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"The heart of your herbal detox regimen is supplementation with herbs that will help all seven of your body's elimination channels (liver, lungs, colon, kidneys, blood, skin, and lymph) by means of several different mechanisms. stimulating these channels naturally enhances the physical process of detoxification so that your body is able to rid itself of toxins without obstruction." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "Detoxification in this sense is about taking an active role in stimulating your body's innate ability to cleanse itself. Many people view detoxification in a very narrow sense, seeing it as synonymous with colon cleansing. And when asked, most people will define "cleansing" as increased bowel elimination or just colon cleansing, and they think they will have to take a laxative, stay home from work, and sit by the bathroom. This is not the case, as the colon is just one of many channels of elimination." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "Fresh-squeezed lemon juice: alkalizing to the body, stimulating bile production and cleansing the kidneys Why Raw Foods Trump Cooked Foods Since meats are generally prepared at a temperature of at least 350 degrees and grains at 325 degrees or more, wholesale enzyme destruction occurs when these foods are cooked. Any processed foods, even uncooked, are devoid of enzymes due to the heat applied in the refining process. Freezing and refrigeration also have some effect on enzymes but result in only about a 30 percent loss." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"This supports the claim that nutritionally oriented doctors including orthomolecular psychiatrists have been making for many years now: folic acid prescribed in megadoses appears to be a stimulating antidepressant for some patients. The amino acid tryptophan can be another key substance in the treatment of depression. According to Dr. Goldwag, tryptophan helps to raise the levels of serotonin, a naturally occurring chemical in the brain that has been found to be abnormally low in depressed people. " - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "They are way too stimulating. There is a compound called huperzene A that, in combination with vitamin E, can be very effective in blocking the enzyme that destroys the memory. It can be taken in capsule form, 50 to 100 micrograms twice a day. I don't think it should be taken by everybody because most normal people have enough of this memory compound. "Anybody who does not have a regular stress management program that is proactive, something like a daily or almost a daily practice of meditation, does not have to worry because they won't enjoy good health." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"The load—the lenses themselves—aren't a training load anymore because they aren't strong enough to create the slight "fogging" that is the most important and basic part of stimulating focusing. For hyperopes, when the text is in focus, at too short a distance, use a negative lens or an undercorrection and do defocus training at an higher distance. The solution is to move to a higher dioptric power training lens. 5. I'm not able to go further; my focusing looks as if it were steady at x distance." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"Homeopathy works by stimulating the body's innate healing potential and the goal is to be curative, not just to suppress the symptoms, Dr. Korins says. "The trick is to find the right remedy. I suggest you pick two or three symptoms that are most disturbing, even though you might have a list of 20 or 30, and then find the remedy. If the indicated remedy does not seem to be working, try using what we call a nosode, the homeopathic remedy for Epstein Barr virus or Candida. This can be very effective in and of itself. "Gelsemium is a major remedy for chronic fatigue syndrome." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Homeostasis and psychosomatic equilibrium undergo great modifications: despite our body's natural tendency to restore its equilibrium when the stimulus is over, the nervous system's excessive stimulating may lead to the state of chronic "alert" and consequently to chronic psychosomatic stress. Correct and full breathing is the most natural and probably the most efficient antidote to take our body, mind, and soul back to the state of natural equilibrium." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"Aiming magnetic fields at the amygdala of the brain at the same time colors the experience with intense emotion, just as occurs during a spiritual experience. By stimulating first one side of the amygdala and then the other, Persinger found that he could heighten the emotional complexion of the experience. Volunteers wearing the Koren helmet experienced divine epiphanies, apparitions, out-of-body sensations, and even a hallucination of Satan purely through temporal-lobe stimulation." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Animal studies have shown that when adult rats are placed in a complex, stimulating environment they have a higher synaptic density (number of synapses per unit volume of brain tissue) than rats kept alone in individual cages and rats kept with other rats. The lesson these studies have taught us is that the level of stimulation in our environment may potentially build the cognitive reserve for human beings just as it does for rats." - 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.) "Read stimulating material while in bed just before turning out the lights. ?Take a long nap during the day (more than thirty minutes). ?Go to bed too hungry or too full. If you are hungry, a light carbohydrate snack (e.g., crackers with milk) may help. To read the whole report see: www.ilcuse.org/lib/pdf/sleep&healthy aging.pdf. Poor or decreased judgment Those with dementia may dress inappropriately, or show poor judgment in various aspects of their lives that doesn't fit with previous behavior." - Peter J.

"Engaging in intellectually stimulating conversation ?Gardening •Reading intellectually challenging books •Taking an adult-education class •Picking up a new skill •Keeping a notebook or starting an online blog •Volunteering in your community •Maintaining a positive outlook on life In the building that houses my clinic—Fairhill Center, a converted Merchant Marine hospital—we have art programs for senior citizens. Similar programs exist in communities around the country." - 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.) "Because African-Americans are disproportionately represented in lower socioeconomic classes, they are more susceptible to suffering from the effects of poor nutrition, being exposed to neurotoxins such as mercury, lead, and arsenic in drinking water, acquiring less cumulative education relative to those in higher financial classes, holding less cognitively stimulating jobs, having less free time to exercise—all factors that have a bearing on brain health through the course of one's life. Genetic predisposition is only a small part of the story of a person's health." - Peter J.
