"In developing his special theory of relativity, he tried to grasp the bizarre features of objects that travel extraordinarily fast. In one famous experiment, he imagined a train traveling at almost the speed of light, whose engine and caboose are both simultaneously struck by lightening. Place an observer in the middle of the train. Since she is traveling forward, shouldn't the lightening from the engine strike her eyes before that of the caboose? But place a second observer off the train, standing on the tracks. How will she perceive the double lightning strike?" - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Break the chatties to pieces, throw away the water, travel at ease." The ogre went his way, and when out of sight, returned again to his own city of ogres. Now that foolish caravan leader, out of his own foolishness, took the advice of the ogre, broke the chatties, and caused the carts to move forward. Ahead there was not the slightest particle of water. For lack of water to drink the men grew weary. They traveled until sundown, and then unharnessed the carts, drew them up in a contracted circle, and tied the oxen to the wheels." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"With the increase in worldwide travel and the involvement of the U.S. armed forces overseas, there is a need to ensure that travelers not be exposed to infectious diseases like malaria that are not endemic in the U.S. It is also important, however, to consider the potential detrimental side effects of the medications used to prevent such diseases. CHLOROQUINE The first-line treatment for malaria was chloroquine (Aralen), a drug that suppresses malaria but does not prevent relapse. This drug can affect eye function, blood pressure, liver function, and gastrointestinal function." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "Italy this summer, reading a travel book, drinking cappuccino, and watching the people milling around the piazza, when I noticed that something was missing. Where were all the fat people? Anyone who has traveled outside the U.S. knows one thing: There are more overweight and obese people here than in other countries. Everything is big in the U.S.A.: Texas, The Mall of America, The Grand Canyon, . . . and us. We are now officially the fattest people in the world. The number of obese Americans has doubled in the past decade." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Buddhist monks from Nepal may travel to the United States to meditate inside fMRI machines. The Dalai Lama himself may travel to Harvard University or MIT or the University of Wisconsin to discuss meditation with brain scientists. At a different level, ordinary people may embark on private Eastward journeys of their own, buying books full of Asian spiritual teachings, venturing into unfamiliar clinics and centers, or apprenticing themselves to teachers who train them in exotic practices like qigong." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"Reentry through travel (geographical): Relendess moving from place to place in order to distract oneself from oneself. Examples: D. H. Lawrence, Ernest Hemingway, Graham Greene, Jack Kerouac, Bob Dylan. Reentry by travel (sexual): Taking on a succession of lovers. Examples: D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Robert Mapplethorpe, Madonna. Reentry by return: Returning to the place one left, as a way of controlling and understanding one's origin and one's life. Examples: None. Percy says, "You can't go home again." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"It's like balls on a pool table: If we have the information that describes the force of a ball as it strikes another (speed, angle, and so on), then we should be able to predict where and how the one that has been struck will travel. And if it should hit other balls in its journey, we'll know where and how fast they're traveling as well. The key here is that the mechanical view of the universe sees the smallest units of the stuff our world is made of as things. Quantum physics looks at the universe differently." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Traveling Keeping on a food plan when you travel is hard. Think through the staples that you can always get on the road. Eggs, tuna fish, chicken, beef, cottage cheese, nuts, potatoes, salad. Have a few basic foods that you can always find, even if you are on the thruway in Indiana. Don't leave it to chance. If you know or even suspect that the only options will be fast foods that don't include protein or any complex carbohydrates, pack your food and take it with you. Get a cooler, keep a stash of food in your car or hotel room. Bring protein powder and apples and cheese." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"In addition, the stress and excitement of travel can put your bowels in an uproar. "If you travel from Houston to Philadelphia, your chances of getting sick are somewhere between 2 and 5 percent," Dr. DuPont says. The Traveler's Little Black Bag For a person on the go, this urge to go can be more than a minor inconvenience. But diarrhea rarely sidelines a traveler all vacation long. Symptoms of traveler's diarrhea often abate after 24 hours. But even one day of chills, diarrhea and vomiting can feel like a very long time when time is limited." - Matthew Hoffman and William Legro, Disease Free: How to Prevent, Treat and Cure More Than 150 Illnesses and Conditions (Get the book.)

"We face new dangers of rapid spread of infections because of world wide air travel. This travel permits the spread of serious infections by those who are only incubating an infection or have an undiagnosed illness (influenza, tuberculosis). Air travel exposes us all to re-circulated air, which is less expensive for the airlines than continuous warming of freezing air brought in from outside the plane. In the same manner, our buildings are now air tight and energy efficient, but cause us to breath re-circulated air, which is more hazardous re infectious disease than fresh air." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"They could no longer travel on airplanes, because the airlines often passed out bags of peanuts. They couldn't go to restaurants, because someone near them might be eating a dish with peanuts, or because they might inadvertently order a dish containing peanuts or peanut oil. Priya couldn't even go into grocery stores. Anytime she came near an aisle that contained a peanut product, she would begin to react, and would have to rush out. At one point the family checked into a hotel room, and Priya said, "Mommy, there's a peanut in here." Anju couldn't spot any. "Are you sure?" "I can feel it." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"First, there must be something that our beliefs travel through—a medium—to carry our inner experiences beyond our bodies. 2. Second, our beliefs must have the power to do something in the physical world. In other words, they must rearrange the atoms that the universe is composed of to make something happen. Beyond any reasonable doubt, the new discoveries show that our beliefs possess both of these attributes. ?" - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Angstrom-size particles travel through the cells, and if the body doesn't need them, it will simply discharge them with no buildup of the minerals to create potential toxicity in the tissues. We observe that the roots of the plants are designed to break down the soil and utilize and absorb mineral particles, at angstrom-size?that's what they do. With the help of fulvic acid in the humus material, plants are able to take in these minerals, and break them down into angstrom-size particles, which they use." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "The "Four Means to Get Your Greens" developed by David Rainoshek is both a complementary entry and an important functional addition to the Rainbow Green World Cuisine because it adds a convenience level that supports flexibility and mobility in your work and travel. Concerning the glycemic index of your diet, I recommend stabilizing on Phase 1 for three to six months until your diet becomes steady and you are completely comfortable in your new physiology. Then you may move to Phase 1.5 or choose to stay at Phase 1." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "This program is best suited for those who have already taken the Tree of Life's workshops in the past, for those who travel on a modest budget, or for those who want an extended time to heal and meditate in an optimal setting. Spaces are limited and subject to vacancy. We offer an Overview of Nearby Sites, tours for people coming to the ancient Holy Land that can be arranged. Visited sites include: ?Dead Sea, 10 minutes away ?Jerusalem, 30 minutes ?Qumran, ancient Essene site, 15 minutes ?Metsada (Masada) Mountain, 45 minutes ?" - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Cats and many dogs, like young children, are small in size and travel close to the ground. Indoors, they're more likely to come into contact with the toxins in conventional cleaning products; outdoors, with toxic gases, bacteria, and other hazardous particulate matter. So rather than increase your pets' chemical burden by washing them with toxic shampoos and placing carcinogenic flea collars around their necks, you need to work on reducing that burden." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Just as water is able to travel through the many holes in a window screen when it thaws from ice to liquid, Taylor's experiment showed that the photons did something very similar. To the scientists' amazement, the photons changed from the particle form that could pass through one opening at a time in the barrier (the single slit), to a waveform that could pass through multiple openings in the barrier (the double slits)." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Most of my own patients, in fact, must travel to meet with me. This can be difficult, but don't let it discourage you. It is quite possible that you will need to meet with your doctor only periodically once your child has become an established patient. As a rule, it is inadvisable to rely upon the administration of the Healing Program by a doctor who is not well versed in integrative medicine. This, unfortunately, probably includes a great many of the doctors in your area, whom you may now trust and like. It might well include your own family doctor or pediatrician." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"But then, at their age, how long could they realistically travel with such frequency? So maybe they should just adopt and take trips with a nanny. And on it would go . . . I'd listen to my friend's speculation about the possibilities of what could be, until he'd suddenly snap out of his daydream, look at me a little sheepishly, and realize that, in his mind, he had just described an entire lifetime with a woman whom he'd known for less than 20 minutes!" - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"I also now travel extensively, speaking about the program, and about the new childhood epidemics. I consider myself one of the most blessed physicians in America, due to the success I have had in adapting the new approach of integrative medicine to our devastating new childhood epidemics. Just yesterday, I saw three autistic kids who had recovered: three-m one day! That's what can happen when you're a good medical detective, and keep looking for root causes. But I get tired. Sometimes, exhausted. I was bone-tired the last time that I saw Paul Avram." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Wheeler-Feynman absorber theory, which says that a wave can travel backward in time from the future to arrive at its source. What happens between two electrons is this. When one electron jiggles a bit, it sends out radiating waves into both the past and the future. The future wave, say, would hit a future particle, which would also wiggle, while sending out its own advanced and retarded waves. The two sets of waves from these two electrons cancel out, except in the region between them." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"If you keep your hopes high and your expectations low, ydu will be better able to travel this journey of a thousand steps, which may one day take you to a destination that now lies even beyond your hopes. This is most likely to occur, though, in a spirit of partnership. Of this I am certain: Your doctor wants to help you-and your doctor wants your help. Now is the time to build a team. When you do this, your feeling of aloneness-which is often overwhelming in the parent of a sick child-will begin to lift." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Transient probiotics travel through the intestinal tract, eliciting some health benefits, but they do not attach and colonize in the body. Human strains are typically great colonizers. The more likely a probiotic is to colonize, the greater the resulting duration and potency of its health benefit. NOTE: Some products on the market use soil-based probiotics, which are not usually the same strains as those used in clinical trials and are not of human origin; thus, they may not offer you the same health benefits." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "Thus, if you leave them out or want to travel with your probiotic supplements, do not worry, as the die-off is minimal over the short term. New technology has created a shelf-stable capsule called a "pearl" which allows a probiotic supplement to remain out of the refrigerator for the duration of the product's shelf-life. These can be very useful for those away from home for longer durations. It is also important to know whether the potency listed on the packaging of a supplement is the amount in the capsule/tablet on the date of manufacturing or on the date of expiry." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"He'd been dabbling in tachyons, or particles that travel faster than the speed of light. He'd wondered whether tachyons could explain some studies he'd come across showing that animals and plants had the ability to engage in some sort of instantaneous communication, even when separated by hundreds of miles or shielded by a variety of means. Hal had really wanted to find out whether you could use quantum theory to describe life processes." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"The electrons then travel through the electron transport chain, with the help of coenzyme Q10, and ultimately make ATP in a process called oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which energy taken from the electrons is used to attach inorganic phosphate to ADP to reform ATP As the name implies, oxygen is required for this pathway to function." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"At the Bay of Fundy, the time required for a single wave to travel from the bay's mouth to its opposite end and back is exactly matched by the time of each tide. Each wave is amplified by the rhythm of each tide, resulting in some of the highest tides in the world. * Entrainment also occurs when someone sends a strong intention to cause harm, as became evident in the tohate experiments of Mikio Yamamoto of the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Chiba and the Nippon Medical School in Tokyo." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "As he filled up his watering can, he wondered if it might be possible to measure the length of time it would take water to travel up the stem of a plant from the roots and reach the leaves, particularly in the Dracaena, a cane plant with an especially long trunk. It occurred to him that he could test this out by connecting the Dracaena to one of his polygraph machines; once the water reached the spot between the electrodes, the moisture would contaminate the circuit and be recorded as a drop in resistance." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "Since you need at least two waves to create such interference patterns, the implication of the experiment is that the photon is somehow mysteriously able to travel through both slits at the same time and interfere with itself when it reunites. The double-slit experiment encapsulates the central mystery of quantum physics—the idea that a subatomic particle is not a single seat but the entire stadium. It also demonstrates the principle that electrons, which exist in a hermetic quantum state, are ultimately unknowable." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)
