"Because of the results of this study, I advise parents of children with ADHD to limit their child's time in front of the television set. If children do watch television or play video games, I recommend that they sit as far away from the screen as possible. The amount of radiation exposure is inversely related to the square of the distance from the television set. For example, there is 16 times as much radiation exposure at a distance of 1 foot from the set as there is 4 feet away, and 36 times as much radiation at a distance of 1 foot as there is at 6 feet." - Jonathan V.

"In fact, surveys show that the more people watch television, the more violent they judge the world to be. You Assess Your Media Diet might think that those who watch a lot of TV are simply better informed about the evils of the world. They're not. They grossly overestimate rates of violence. People who watch less TV are more accurate judges of the degree of risk we all might encounter each day.22 Violence is similarly used to captivate and entertain us, in movies, television, video games, and more. Audiences clearly enjoy being pushed to the edge of what they can comfortably take." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"A direct association was observed between television watching and risk of developing diabetes. The men who reported sitting in front of a TV more than nineteen hours per week were more than 150 percent more likely to become diabetic than those who watched less than three hours a week. "Bubble gum for the eyes," Steve Allen called it. television watching is another form of inactivity, and increasing evidence suggests that exercise is protective against the development of Type-2 diabetes mellitus." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"I told a national television audience what I now consider to be the standard story of AD. The show's producers had recruited me as an expert on Alzheimer's, and I was asked to interview several individuals whose lives had been affected by the disease. One was a professional ballerina whose neurosurgeon husband had died of AD; another was an African-American woman who had gotten separated from her family in New York City for three days and was cared for by a homeless community on the streets." - 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.)

"I spoke to him, but it was like talking to a television set that squawked back at you without registering a word you'd said. These days, years later, Kyle can no longer recall exactly what he'd been thinking about during that first appointment, except that it had been during the time when he'd had "bad thoughts, all the time, that just kept coming, again and again and again." Where do you start with a kid like that? Elizabeth wanted to start with chelation." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"These days, so many teenagers, especially teenage girls, are obsessed with having the "perfect body"—an impossible image dictated by the magazines that they read and the television shows they watch. In pursuit of this perfection, they obsessively count calories while subsisting on diet cola and toxic snack foods. Even scarier: they also might develop a dependency on natural-health supplements for weight control or bodybuilding. The use of these unregulated substances, which increases every year, can lead to cardiac problems." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "One side is easy to find on television and in newspaper articles. There's no shortage of stories about new vaccines and warnings about the "dire" consequences people will face if they don't vaccinate their children. The other side is rarely reported and takes a little time and research to understand. Because vaccines are considered medicine's "greatest lifesaver," credited with eradicating many contageous diseases, more and more vaccines have been developed and added to the recommended immunization schedule over the past twenty years. When I was growing up, we received only six vaccines." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

Don't forbid your child from ever taking a bite of junk food?" - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"You are now aware that we have eliminated processed sugar, white flour, cooked carbohydrates, processed foods, excitotoxins such as artificial flavorings and colorings, animal fats, trans fats, cooked fats, smoking, and television. Before we discuss the nutritional and lifestyle elements that we do include in the program, it is important to mention that there are some plant-source foods that are typically eaten, and even recommended by medical professionals as part of diabetes-amelioration programs, that we do not use." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Bubble gum for the eyes," Steve Allen called it. television watching is another form of inactivity, and increasing evidence suggests that exercise is protective against the development of Type-2 diabetes mellitus. Every two hours per week you spend watching TV instead of pursuing something more active increases the chances of developing diabetes by 14 percent.1 Overweight and Obesity It is important to understand overweight and obesity, taken together or separately, as a reflection of the Culture of Death diet and lifestyle, as an underlying cause of insulin resistance and diabetes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"He originally had four embedded figures drawn, and randomly selected one of them to show on television in Britain. Then, in various places around the world, groups of people, none of whom had seen the television program, opened envelopes containing the four embedded figures. They attempted to find them. Sheldrake predicted that on the average, the people would find the embedded figure more quickly (slightly yet statistically significantly) in the figure that happened to have been shown on the British TV, and that this effect would occur more or less equally around the globe." - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)

"Alisa, 2006 Alisa was skating in the Rockefeller Center ice rink, as television cameras filmed her. They were shooting a documentary about kids who'd made remarkable recoveries from autism and ADHD. Alisa's movements were fluid and beautiful-full of rhythm and power-and when she executed a perfect waltz-jump, Liza clapped spontaneously. Alisa's recovery had finally hit high gear when we'd knocked out her PANDAS. The PANDAS had been the driving force behind her ADHD symptoms." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"It is obvious that television is a business, a private enterprise at work in a democratic society that is driven by mass-market demands, and even more obvious that advertisers are most interested in the coveted eighteen to forty-nine demographic because it is the major consumer group. But since the FCC licenses stations to operate in the "interest, convenience, and necessity"2 of the community, it is quite puzzling that a channel devoted to successful aging (not to mention a show like Senior Moments) has yet to emerge." - 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.)

"If prime-time television reflects popular sentiment, it's no surprise that a study at Michigan State University found that heavy TV characters are less likely to date, unlikely to have sex, and very likely to be the butt of bad jokes. Plus, they are rarely portrayed in leadership roles and often appear to have no friends of either sex. We don't expect to see obese characters in the boardroom, the bedroom, or up on the big screen. And so when we meet someone significantly overweight, right away our expectations go down." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"At times, the condition is evoked as a source of humor by comedians and on television shows; generally, affected persons are depicted in the public media in a cute way, much like a dependent child.1 As we grow older, we can expect more moments of boke in our lives as well. Whether that means occasionally forgetting dates, misplacing keys and cell phones, losing words and names on the tip of your tongue, or storming around outside someone else's hotel door in Osaka like a modern-day Godzilla, we can expect that these events will become more common as our bodies and minds age." - 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.) "If it is in fact economic pressures that dictate the content of our television stations, then it is not outlandish to think that the demographics of our rapidly aging country will create an impetus for programming that concentrates on what it means to grow old and to be old. Such a station could play a valuable role in people's lives, assisting them in coping with the challenges of old age and developing strategies for successful life-span aging." - 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.)

"Miscellaneous Causes Watching television for Several Hours Scientific research has shown that watching television can dramatically increase cholesterol production in the body. Besides being a necessary component of most tissues and hormones in the body, cholesterol also serves as a stress hormone that increases during physical or mental strain. In fact, cholesterol is one of the first hormones transported to the site of an injury to help heal it." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.)

"Something in the makeup of a person was not unlike the rabbit ears that helped produce his television image. He too was a receiver of invisible information, with the ability to pick up signals transmitted across time and space. Until he was fifteen, however, he could not visualize what these signals were made of. He had learned to play the electric guitar and had often wondered what unseen influences allowed the instrument to create different sounds. He could play the same note, middle C, and yet produce more of a treble or bass sound, depending on which way he turned the knob." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"While the most visible 79 Eating Disorders sufferers of these diseases have been young women, recent research—in magazines, books, television, and school programs—indicates that men, too, struggle with them. Males with eating disorders are more likely to have alcohol-related conditions and to have had their illness overlooked by doctors, who see it as a specifically female problem." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "I happened to see Doris Rapp on a television show, and I picked up her book. I gave my son the multiple-elimination diet that she suggested and the results were unbelievable! The doctors were surprised. The chief of the pediatric staff was extremely intrigued, but because of the way he was trained, he warn't able to offer me any medical support. But he did support my going to Dr. Buttram until he could learn more himself." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "I've discussed vaccination hazards on more than 50 radio and television programs, addressed hundreds of professional, political, and trade groups, produced two informational DVDs, and authored numerous articles for both print publications and Internet sites. In addition, I'm scheduled to produce two books relating to the subject over the next year. The risk of vaccination must be considered as important—and potentially more serious—than the risk of a childhood disease." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Nationally, she is a regular guest on many different radio and television talk shows, including "Your Health " aired on the Family Network.

"Chemicals were responsible for the television set playing out in our brain, and chemicals were responsible for the 'it' that is doing the viewing.3 We know the world because of the intricacies of our own machinery. Modern biology does not believe in a world that is ultimately indivisible." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "They would also be among the first to design a flat-panel television, the width of a hanging picture. All their patents were accepted with the explanation that the ultimate source of energy 'appears to be the zero-point radiation of the vacuum continuum'.y Hal and Ken's discoveries were given an unexpected boost when the Pentagon, which rates new technologies in order of importance to the nation, listed condensed-charge technology, as zero-point energy research was then termed, as number 3 on the National Critical Issue List, only after stealth bombers and optical computing." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "And now a year and four days after the jury had first been selected, this true-life drama which had made for so much compulsive viewing, which had cut so deeply into daytime soap opera viewing that it could command its own premium television advertising space, was about to come to.an end. Even the final moments had their unexpected dramatic cliffhanger. Just as the jury had reached their verdict and were assembled in the courtroom, Armanda Cooley the jury foreman, realized that she'd left the form with their verdict written on it, sealed in its envelope, in the jury room." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"The article was quick to point out the fact that male politicians are exposed more than most men to these toxins because they typically have makeup applied before appearing in television studios. What if the politicians were women who wear makeup every day? Male fetuses exposed to phthalates in the womb may result in malformation of the reproductive tract and decreased semen quality later in life. It would be impossible to cover every toxin and its related effects in this book. Doing justice to just the most common toxins we encounter today would require hundreds of pages." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Becker, as he indicated on national television about his previous treatment for Hodgkin's disease. After receiving Adriamycin, a form of chemotherapy to neutralize the tumor, Dr. Becker developed heart failure and severe shortness of breath. Only after a few doses of coenzyme Qio was he able to breathe better. A few days later, Dr. Becker attributes his enormous improvement and survival to taking coenzyme Qi0. Though Dr. Becker undoubtedly suffered from systolic dysfunction with Adriamycin causing a decrease in ejection fraction, he probably also had diastolic dysfunction as well." - Stephen T.
