"Labeling junk food in a manner similar to that used for cigarettes is certainly a sign of the flip. Imagine seeing a large label on a can of soda stating, "Warning: This product promotes obesity and diabetes" The aggressive and sophisticated methods of marketing used by food manufacturers and fast-food chains to infiltrate the minds of children have stirred the concern of parenrs. What can't be stopped on the television can be removed from the cafeterias and hallways of our schools. Parents are leading a backlash against junk food in schools." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) "There is much that each of us can and should do to further the flip of energy from an upside-down world of overconsumption to one that insists on renewable and sustainable energy. And soon we may not have any other choice. As the world's energy demands rise with population growth and continued economic development, global energy consumption may double or triple. We need an Apollo program to ramp up the production of clean and green technology. We cannot allow government officials and industry leaders to play dice with the atmosphere of our planet." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) "Today, with the flip increasing its energetic momentum, there is much hope for democracy and freedom for all people in the Right-Side Up world. RIP TIPS Be aware of how you feel when watching or listening to mass media. Get your news from multiple sources. Mindfully select your entertainment choices. Spend one week without turning on the radio in your car. Write the networks and cable channels to voice your preferences. Support anticensorship groups, such as the National Coalition Against Censorship (www.ncac.org) and the American Library Association (www.ala.org). Read books." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) "Perhaps the most heartening and pronounced flip indicator from addictive programming to conscious entertainment is the Internet. The most revolutionary and empowering tool of the last decade, the Web has given individuals the freedom to search, read, review, and evaluate any information they want from a seemingly endless well of resources. Lee deBoer, cable pioneer and chairman of the mind, body, spirit cable network LIME Media, states that "the amazing adoption rate of the Internet and its technologies has put us in touch with more relevant (and irrelevant) content." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"On the flip side, many dangerous prostate cancers can't be cured with current treatments, no matter how early they're caught. Unfortunately, radiologists and pathologists can't tell with much certainty how aggressive a particular tumor is going to be. In the face of this uncertainty, doctors feel they must err on the side of caution and treat practically every tiny prostate tumor they detect as if it were potentially deadly, in the hope of curing at least a few." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"I was able to look at the flip side of what drags me down, rising above it and not being negatively affected. Valerian helped me to make a breakthrough and see why certain things were happening in my life. The relaxation I encountered in the 'ah-h-h' resonance turned into the enlightenment resonance of 'aha.' I had to relax before I could have an opening. Often with plant spirits, I encounter them in my own personal life and then I know how to use them with others. Valerian was my first love and it continues to be one of my favorites." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"They essentially bred the weakest rats in each of eleven generations to one another. On the flip side, they did the same with the more aerobic exercisers, involving over 2,900 of them, thereby breeding "super rats." At the study's end, the score for cardiovascular risk factors was high among the low aerobic capacity rats, and a protein that is required for the mitochondria to make enzymes for skeletal muscles was low. In other words, they were unfit rats or couch potatoes." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"He went on to build another type of machine - a twentieth-century version of the flip of a coin. This machine was based on a binary system (a system with two choices: yes or no; on or off; one or zero). It could electronically generate a random sequence of 'heads' and 'tails' which were displayed by the movement of a light in a circle of nine lamps. One light was always lit. With the top lamp lit at the start, for each generated head or tail the light moved by one step in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. If 'heads' were tossed, the next light in clockwise order would light." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Given this, it's obvious that the more muscle you have on your body, versus fat, the more calories you'll burn even while you're sitting at the computer working or laying down sleeping. On the flip side, it's sobering to know that sedentary people can lose 23 to 35 percent of muscle mass over the course of their adult lives.1 This loss not only may contribute to becoming overweight but can also cause a loss of strength and balance as well as an overall physical decline." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"On the flip side of the profit equation, the DRG payment for treating a heart attack patient with drugs alone and no surgical intervention—which for many patients is just as effective—produces about an 1 1 percent loss for the average hospital. What all this means is that any hospital administrator with an ounce of good business sense is going to want to maximize the number of patients in profitable service lines, which they have taken to calling "centers of excellence," whether or not they are, in fact, excellent." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"The Flip: Turn Your World Around David Rippe andjared Rosen ISBN: 1571744746 Book Description: the flip reveals that tens of millions of people have already made the choice to embrace the right-side-up world. A stunning change is underway: a major shift from a broken, outmoded paradigm where the natural world has been sacrificed for convenience to an interconnected world where millions of people value a holistic lifestyle of natural products, sustainable living and spiritual transcendence." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"Most of us don't take our POPULAR CHILDREN'S SONG have been the objects of surgical correction for thousands of years. On the flip side, the importance of our ears has been recognized for at least as long as we've been trying to beautify them. Indeed, they've played a prominent role in mythology and religion. The ancient Egyptians, for example, considered the ear a receptacle of life's breath. They believed that the "air of life" entered the right ear, while the "air of death" entered the left." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"It simply infuses her with joy. On the flip side, the worst sound, one that sends shivering shards of anxiety up and down her spine, is the sound of her child in pain. A good parent would do anything, absolutely anything to spare their child from hurt. The question, when a child is sick, is what is the best long-term remedy? How does a mother protect her child from pain? One of the first things a new parent realizes is that there are hundreds of decisions to make, seemingly, on a daily basis." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"Until we trigger the flow, nothing can happen. the flip side of this dynamic is that when we do find ourselves in a Dark Night of the Soul, it may be reassuring to know that the only way we could have gotten to such a place in life is that we were the ones who flipped the switch. Knowingly or not, we're always ready for whatever life may serve. OUR GREATEST FEARS The purpose of the Dark Night of the Soul is for us to experience and heal our own great fears." - Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.)

"You burn more calories at rest when you have a greater amount of lean muscle. On the flip side, inactivity leads to muscle atrophy and loss of muscle mass—or lower resting energy consumption. Inactivity wreaks all kinds of havoc by ?promoting the storage of energy as fat, which produces inflammatory substances; ?contributing to insulin resistance; and ?increasing physical stresses on your bones, joints, and cardiovascular system. The Vitamin D Cure No-Sweat Workout Here's an exercise routine that's simple, quick, and gets the job done without muss or fuss." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Many marketers want you to believe that boosting HGH blood levels can reduce body fat; build muscle; improve sex life, sleep quality, vision, and memory; restore hair growth and color; strengthen the immune system; normalize blood sugar; increase energy; and turn back your body's biological clock. But the flip side is that it causes swollen and painful joints, carpal tunnel syndrome, gynecomastia (big breasts are a big price to pay for men), and a trend toward the onset of diabetes (a big price for both genders)." - Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D., You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (Get the book.)

"Professionals and organizations you can trust today may get bought off tomorrow. On the flip side (though it's rare), some authorities do come to realize the error of their ways and remove themselves from the corporate payroll. When in doubt, contact the expert directly for clarification.

"It helps condition you to think differently about your body and will help you immeasurably to undo the old conditioning and forget all that came before. On the flip side, it is important not to be discouraged if symptoms arise during the course of an activity. It simply means that more mental work must be done. It is easy for fear and its gloomy companion doubt to creep in. "Maybe it isn't TMS, maybe I do have a physical problem" is a common thought." - John E. Sarno, M.D., The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (Get the book.)

"You wouldn't buy an extended warranty on an iPod if you were only going to keep it for a week. On the flip side, a species that is more dominant in its environment, and that can continue to reproduce for most of its life, will gain an advantage in repairing accumulated DNA errors. If it lives longer, it can reproduce more. I believe that programmed aging confers an evolutionary benefit on the species, not the individual. According to this thinking, aging acts like a biological version of planned obsolescence." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"Exercise, diet, insulin levels, and medication when appropriate all need to be in balance to control diabetes," he adds, noting that for men who monitor well, the rate of impotence falls to 30 percent. On the flip side, however, the risk of erectile dysfunction dramatically increases if a man with diabetes doesn't tightly control glucose levels. But it's not just diabetic men who are at risk for sexual dysfunction. Up to 35 percent of women with diabetes also experience sexual dysfunction, according to the Joslin Diabetes Center." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

"Still another way UV rays cause damage is by thinning the walls of surface blood vessels, leading to bruising, bleeding, and the appearance of blood vessels through the skin. But the flip side is that we also really need UV rays. Natural sunlight creates active vitamin D, which we need for bone health, since it helps regulate calcium. It also helps ensure the proper function of the heart, nervous system, clotting Figure K.2 Burnt Roast Radiation from the sun that passes through the ozone stimulates our eyes (visible rays) and our skin (UY rays)." - Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D., You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (Get the book.)

Now, the flip beverages, or too much protein, and no weight-bearing exercises and no vitamin D), or you're taking prescription drugs such as steroids that cause you to lose calcium, you will end up with a negative calcium balance in your bone account. Nevertheless, you need to take calcium." - Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D., You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (Get the book.)

"The campaign was especially effective at producing unintended results—Australian sun exposure went down, and Australian vitamin D deficiencies went up. On the flip side, researchers have discovered that tanning can actually help people who have vitamin D deficiencies. Crohn's disease is a disorder that includes significant inflammation of the small intestine. Among other things, the inflammation impairs the absorption of nutrients, including vitamin D. Most people who have Crohn's have a vitamin D deficiency." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"Some antidepressant drugs also tend to reduce food intake. On the flip side, a drug can reduce your nutritional status by increasing your appetite for unhealthy foods and causing you to gain weight, but without good nourishment. This can happen with some hormonal contraceptives, with some antidepressants and antipsychotics, and with any drug that includes steroids, such as prednisone (usually taken orally) and inhaled steroids used to treat asthma. 2. Reduced absorption of nutrients. Most drugs discussed in this book are taken by mouth." - Hyla Cass, M.D., Supplement Your Prescription: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Even among men who have been diagnosed with the disease, more than 90 percent will live fifteen more years even if they are never treated.

Unfortunately, radiologists and pathologists can't tell with much certainty how aggressive a particular tumor is going to be." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "From private payers, hospitals can reportedly make around $20,000 for an angioplasty procedure, about 40 percent of which is profit. On the flip side of the profit equation, the DRG payment for treating a heart attack patient with drugs alone and no surgical intervention—which for many patients is just as effective—produces about an 1 1 percent loss for the average hospital." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Testers of GMOs are the flip side of the auctioneers; the presence of the former has contributed to the rise of the latter. Farmers are accustomed to dealing with the vagaries of the weather, of moisture levels, of pests and unforeseen diseases. Here on the docks, however, on the verge of determining what their previous seasons of labor has been worth, farmers now have one new variable with which to contend. An entirely new product line has been created by the biotech firm Strategic Diagnostics, Inc. to ensure that U.S. crops do not go where they are not wanted." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"On the flip side, blood cholesterol "was negatively associated with complex carbohydrate intake. .. ."20 In simple terms, animal foods were linked to higher blood cholesterol; plant foods were linked to lower blood cholesterol. This research clearly implicated diet as one possible cause of heart disease. Furthermore, the early results were painting a consistent picture: the more saturated fat and cholesterol (as indicators of animal food consumption) people eat, the higher their risk for getting heart disease." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M. Campbell II, The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health (Get the book.)

"Many scientists believe cancer prevention is the "reason" cells have evolved with a limit on the number of times they can reproduce. the flip side to the Hayflick limit, of course—compromise, compromise—is aging. Once cells hit the limit, future reproductions don't really work and things start to break down. cancer protection and the Hayflick limit aren't the only evolutionary explanations for the aging mechanism. First of all, that doesn't necessarily explain why different animals—even closely related ones—have such different life expectancies." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"If we find it hard to change, this could be an indication that we are attached to structure and therefore our masculine energy is dominant and our feminine energy needs strengthening. On the flip side, feminine energy can also become overly dominant. Dominant feminine energy creates patterns of overnurturing (or smothering) that keep us from taking our talents and creations out into the world. It overrides our masculine essence, which gives us a sense of direction in life." - Margaret Ruby, The DNA of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.)
