"It is for such reasons that we must be clear on the prospect for such contractions and on what should be our individual and national policy regarding this prospect. The trouble with the exercise of moral authority by opinion leaders is that, although views that the market is either very overpriced or very underpriced may become commonplace among the experts, such views are never universally held." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Or what if you had lived near Love Canal and were exposed to dioxin, or were one or Erin Brockovich's client's unknowingly exposed to Chromium 6 in your water, you were in trouble no matter what health program you went on. Sometimes you just don't know. But even in those cases, your odds are still significantly better on a program designed to detoxify (remove those very toxins) from your body than on a program that adds more toxins to it." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "You may have trouble sleeping or eating, or you might experience diseases and disorders, such as headaches, insomnia, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular and kidney diseases, colds, ulcers, asthma, heart attack, and/or stroke. • Stress has been linked to all the leading causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis, and suicide. • Stress is said to be responsible for more than half of the 550 million workdays lost annually because of absenteeism. Eventually, your body's energy reserves are exhausted; it breaks down." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Diet" or Low Fat Foods With the exception of dairy products, in which the fat is "skimmed" off (especially the saturated fat, which is unhealthy to consume in quantity), diet and low-fat foods are notorious for getting the chronic dieter in trouble. They typically contain large amounts of sugars, often in the form of corn syrup and, as mentioned previously, research has shown that when people eat "diet" foods they tend to consume greater amounts and more calories than if they Do Frozen Meals Fit?" - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.) "Eating massive or j even large amounts of any food simply ¦ reinforces behaviors that got us into i trouble in the first place. This is one : reason, by the way, that so many diets about being honest with yourself instead of playing tricks. It's not about deprivation, either. You'll find that you can be satisfied and leave the table contented when your body has become accustomed to eating healthy portions of foods." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.) "It's never a free-for-all because that's how most people got in trouble in the first place. But again, remember the promise that you'll never feel hungry when you follow the plan. Once you've completed at least a week of the SlimDown you'll know that's true. And you can see from the many comments from SuperFoodsRx Diet veterans that hunger is not an issue. So don't feel anxious about "giving up" something because later, when you come to the FlexPlan, you'll see that the issue isn't deprivation it's planning— planning to include things you enjoy." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Following this plan admittedly requires a bit of diligence, so what did these participants get for their trouble? In one of the most recent studies, more than 30 percent of motivated participants lowered their LDL cholesterol levels more than 20 percent! The exciting point in this headline is that these responses are similar to the amount of improvement usually seen with statin medications. Other studies have shown similar results." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "But when eaten in excess, they can cause trouble. SATURATED FATS Saturated fats are fatty acids that have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to every carbon atom—they are "saturated" with hydrogen. Some saturated fats (like butter or lard) are solid at room temperature, while others (whole milk or cream) are suspended in liquid. In the body, saturated fats are known to raise total and LDL cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke, and may also increase the risk of certain cancers. What's the bottom line? These fatty acids should be minimized!" - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "A recent study found that when people with elevated blood lipids snacked on almonds, their coronary heart disease risk fell significantly, probably due in part to the fiber and monounsaturated fat components of almonds. THE trouble WITH TRIGLYCERIDES Like measuring LDL cholesterol, taking note of triglyceride levels in the blood can shed light on heart health. People can have high triglyceride levels even when their cholesterol levels are normal. Blood triglycerides come mainly from the fat we eat in foods." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"The most common symptom of GERD is chronic, frequent heartburn, but some with GERD instead experience a dry cough, asthmalike symptoms, or trouble swallowing. GERD can lead to more serious health issues over time, such as scarring and ulcers in the lining of the esophagus. The traditional medical treatment for GERD is to prescribe antacids. Antacids not only mask the problem, rhey also can cause long-term digestive difficulties. Antacids are merely Band-Aids and do nothing to correct the problem." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) "If you have trouble eating a raw food meal every day, then you can increase the amount of digestive enzymes, reduce the meal size more than 25 percent and eat more frequently (lessening the intensity of the bursts of energy your body has to use to digest large meals), or fast every two months instead of every three months. The reason the nearly ideal diet is so adjustable is that every recommendation listed above contributes in a slightly different way to resting the digestive system and allowing the body to benefit from the additional energy." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Copan first ran into trouble in A.D. 738, when Lord Cauac Sky of the nearby vassal city of Quirigua turned on his master, captured him, and put him to death. For a short time the ruler became the ruled, but the great city was never destroyed. In 749, Lord Smoke Shell ascended to Copan's throne and embarked on an ambitious building program to validate his rule. His masterpiece was the magnificent Hieroglyphic Stairway, adorned with over 2,200 glyphs that celebrate the Maya lords' supernatural path." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"It's only when we begin refining plant seeds or eating them to the exclusion of the rest of the plant that we get into trouble. So what about eating meat? Unlike plants, which we can't live without, we don't need to eat meat—with the exception of vitamin B12, every nutrient found in meat can be obtained somewhere else. (And the tiny amount of B12 we need is not too hard to come by; it's found in all animal foods and is produced by bacteria, so you obtain Bn from eating dirty or decaying or fermented produce." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"These borrowers, who tend to be lower income, minority, and less educated, may find themselves in real trouble when rates rise.2 Increasingly, ARMs also include an interest-only provision postponing repayment of principal for the first five or ten years of the loan, so borrowers may be in for a double surprise at the size of their mortgage payments after some years, when they are facing both higher interest payments and principal payments as well." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Reminding her of the stress-junkie pattern helps her to be aware of her tendencies and—I hope — catch herself before she starts trouble. FUEL To fuel the anticipated activity of the muscles and the brain, epinephrine immediately begins converting glycogen and fatty acids into glucose. Traveling through the bloodstream, Cortisol works more slowly than epinephrine, but its effects are incredibly widespread. Cortisol wears a number of different hats during the stress response, one of which is that of traffic cop for metabolism." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"If this initial study shows that FM patients have no more trouble with VNS than patients with depression, Dr. Lange will mount a larger study to test the efficacy of VNS in treating FM. I am expecting this to happen. And of course, the side benefit of her study will be to prove that FM pain is in the brain and can be reduced without drugs. Keeping Up with Clinical Trials The status of the NIH-approved clinical trial I just described can be followed at a government Web site, www.clinicaltrials.gov. This site plus another one, www.centerwatch." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "I've organized this book into three parts designed to reconcep-tualize your experience and the experiences of people who seek help for fatigue, pain, or trouble concentrating. Like many others with your problem, you have probably gone to the doctor and received the diagnosis of "nothing wrong." If you are sick enough and if your doctor is aware enough, you may have gotten the diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia. But chances are, despite the diagnosis, your doctor told you, "There really isn't any treatment for these problems; just try harder." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "I reason that if doctors have trouble recognizing depression, they probably don't treat it well. My first step in treating depression, as with any other symptom I treat, is to try to get on the same page as the patient, by asking lots of questions and listening to the answers. Does the patient think depression may be playing a role in the severity of other symptoms and in the ability to deal with them? Very often, the patient says yes but then may become defensive because I've asked about depression when the patient is most concerned about fatigue and pain." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "In the case of stress, you'll have trouble getting to sleep in the first place, or wake up frequently once you finally drift off. What are some markers for stress, beyond a disruption of your sleep habits? A common one is muscle tension—extreme tightness in the jaw muscles or in the muscles supporting the head. Muscle contraction can be excruciating and can lead to what you may perceive as a headache (actually a neck ache so severe that the pain spreads up across your head) or pain on opening or closing the mouth." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Eaten in moderation, those I deem "Friendly Fruits" rarely get people into trouble long term. Just as important, I have yet to find a bread that doesn't raise triglycerides. If your triglycerides fall, you'll lose weight and your LDL cholesterol will drop. This occurs regardless of any other food intake because you've inactivated your body's storage of sugar as fat. Of course you can lose weight while consuming "white," "beige," and "brown" foods and fruit; I've done so many times. I just ate less of everything." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.) "If you're still having trouble with this concept, consider the autopilot program on an airplane. Once the human pilot inputs data about the destination into a computer, the autopilot controls direction, speed, thrust, flaps, pitch, and yaw. The autopilot doesn't "see" where the plane is going, doesn't "feel" how fast it is flying, but based on information sent from sensors in the plane or bouncing off satellites, it pretty much "knows" where it is in space and time, allowing it to "fly" the plane and land safely." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.) "Insulin gets us in trouble with its second function. The only thing that would make our early ancestors' insulin levels rise rapidly was a ton of fruit sugar, unlike leaves, tubers, nuts, or meat. Their genetic autopilots would correctly assume that eating lots of fruit meant it was late summer or early fall, and release of insulin would signal their liver to turn sugar into fat so they could make it through the winter. The higher your resting insulin level, the more your liver "thinks" that winter is coming and therefore it better keep churning out more fat." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.) "The two most useful omega-3 fats are EPA and DHA (short for those long, impossible-to-pronounce words I won't trouble you with again), which are "long-chain" omega-3s. Our bodies can join a bunch of short chains together to manufacture long-chains, but it is not clear how efficiently we do this. DHA from algae is becoming increasingly available. Again, do what you can, with what you have, wherever you are. Hate swallowing capsules or pills? Eat your ALA! Walnuts are a very good source of ALA and represent one of the pillars in Dr. G's World-Famous Nut Mix (page 196)." - Dr. Steven R.

"The preacher declined the offer, but by return letter assured the prince that gout would no longei trouble him. Five centuties later, the letter had acquired a retrospective postscript: a promise that the city would never fall, a promise that had been inscribed on the city's gates." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Peter explained, "The Drivers power the organs; they are a source of energy for them to function properly, so you can imagine that an Energetic Terrain can cause a lot of trouble. The Terrains stop the organ Energetic Drivers from doing their job. That's why we get so tired when we first get sick. All disease starts with a loss of energy." It should be clear by now that if a Terrain shows up on your NES scan, it does not mean you have the associated viruses, bacteria, molds, or whatever pathogen is associated with that particular Energetic Terrain in your system." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "It is the different frequencies that are the trouble!' but then I remembered that they are the frequencies of quantum physics, which are supposed to be impossible to measure. "That thought did not stop me. I went straight away and tried the impossible. I used the apparatus I had first created in Australia and simply began to measure nothingness!" - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"However, for someone with a sugar-sensitive or addictive body chemistry, snacking can create trouble. Grazing reinforces a lack of impulse control, which is already a problem for people with naturally low serotonin: if they get hungry, they eat right away rather than wait. Learning to start and then stop a meal is a very good behavior change for the sugar-sensitive person. Eating at regular intervals will ensure that your blood sugar doesn't drop to a crisis point. If you do not go longer than five or six hours before you have your next meal, you are not likely to get into the danger zone." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"When these dried up, large communities were in deep trouble. The same dry conditions pummeled crop yields just as the cumulative effects of centuries of overexploitation of fragile and marginal soils, widespread deforestation, and sheet erosion took their toll. When it did rain, the torrential downpours swept away unprotected soil. Kingship faltered in the face of drought and restless, hungry commoners. The elaborate superstructure of city-states collapsed like a stack of cards. Some of the greatest Maya cities dissolved in violence and social revolution within a few generations." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"But like many college students, Justin was having trouble sleeping. On February 19, he went to the student health center, where the doctor gave him a thorough exam. She also questioned him to find out whether he was depressed and then prescribed Am-bien to help him sleep. In Justin's file, the doctor noted, "No suicidal ideation," which meant he expressed no desire to kill himself. The boy returned to the clinic a few days later, complaining that the sleeping pills left him feeling groggy and "depressed." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Even-tempered Craving mostly carbohydrates like bread, pasta and cereal Emotionally overwhelmed Once again, you start to feel better. But trouble is coming. As it turns out, the very behaviors that make these diets improve your blood sugar level will decrease your level of serotonin and make your low-serotonin symptoms worse. And if you use sweets to create the carbohydrate balance advocated in Mastering the Zone, you will also make your low beta-endorphin symptoms worse. One problem is that many of these new diets advocate the use of "specially balanced" nutrition bars." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)
