"We walk on until we come to a fallen log, and here we sit, becoming more comfortable in this dark place, this unknown place. Walking in the dark like this is a way to build personal power, as it helps you to navigate uncharted territory or what seems that way because you can't see it. While working with Plant Spirit Healing there are many times you may feel you are in an unknown place or engaged in something quite unfamiliar." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Fifty years ago, diverticular disease (herniations of the colon) was virtually unknown (afflicting less than 10% of the American population). Today, according to the Merck Manual, 100% of all Americans will have many—if they live long enough. • Thirty years ago, colorectal cancer was virtually unknown. Today, it is the single most prevalent cancer among men and women combined. • The number of Americans who suffer from Asthma, according to the Centers for Disease Control, has risen by an astounding 75% in just the last 20 years. • Breast cancer rates are up 30% in just the last 15 years." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know."1 In other words, Rumsfeld was saying that we don't have all of the information and we know that we don't have it. While this now-famous speech was directed toward American intelligence gathering for the war on terror, the same can be said of the state of scientific knowledge today. As successful as science has been in revealing the answers to our deepest mysteries, some of the greatest minds of our time openly suggest that the language of science is incomplete." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Science is still mainly filled with the unknown. The unknown is greater than the known. We are destined to be forever blind voyagers and fellow wayfarers. But rather than condemn ourselves for how little we know, or worse, pump up and inflate the value of the paltry state of our current knowledge, perhaps it is better simply to accept these limitations. In our flaws and in our ignorance, there is mystery. And mystery is what makes us human and complicated and interesting. There is and always will be something enduringly inscrutable about humanity, and therein lies the beauty." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"The National Broadcasting Company formed the first national network in 1926, and regular shows created a sense of national culture previously unknown. Sound also invaded our movies. Lee De Forest invented the sound-on-film system in 1923, and talkies had completely displaced silent movies by the end of the decade. Because these innovations had such an impact on everyday lives, affecting people in their homes and in their hours of leisure, the 1920s were a time when massive technological progress was unusually apparent to even the most casual observer." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Although the reasons are unknown, people with some neurological conditions—including multiple sclerosis and amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly called Lou Gehrig's disease—often yawn excessively. Sometimes frequent yawning is a reaction to radiation therapy for SIGNIFICANT FACT ^HjnHE? A recent psychiatric journal reported that several patients had an unusual, albeit pleasurable, reaction to the antidepressant clomipramine. For them, yawning is anything but a snore—every time they yawn they have a spontaneous orgasm. One woman became extremely adept at having orgasms by yawning." - 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.) "In the other half, the cause is unknown (idiopathic). Although medically benign, essential tremors are frequently embarrassing and can make activities requiring fine finger movements—such as sewing, fly tying, and surgery—difficult, if not impossible. Thus, they interfere not only with quality of life but with careers as well. Interestingly, essential tremors tend to stop when the affected body part is at rest. WARNING SIGN A "pill-rolling" finger gesture is a unique sign of Parkinson's disease.The tremor looks like the thumb and forefinger are rolling a pill between them." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Boys are more likely to be asthmatics than girls, for reasons as yet unknown. Since asthma can be a life-threatening condition, it is vital that parents monitor their children and ensure that all necessary medication is taken. It is much easier to prevent an attack beginning than to treat a full-blown one, and parents should be aware that children are often slow to recognise the signs of asthma in themselves. If your child has asthma it is necessary for you, the parent, to be vigilant on his or her behalf." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Despite von Humboldt and Bonpland's discovery, the remarkable properties of Peiuvian guano remained unknown to the outside world until the 1830s. A few casks eventually reached Europe and North America, but it was not until 1840 that field experiments showed guano was vastly superior to manure. Moreover, unlike manure, a full guano sack was light enough to be carried up steep slopes with ease. In 1840 and 1841 a consortium of British, French, and Peruvian businessmen acquired a monopoly on guano exports and loaded almost eight thousand tons of it on Europe-bound ships." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Speaking of sex, BV is considered an STD, even though its exact cause is sometimes unknown. It occurs when the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina tips. Although having a new partner or multiple sex partners increases a woman's risk of BV, even women who aren't sexually active can get this potentially dangerous infection. þAbout 75% of women will get a yeast infection at some point in their lifetimes. Unfortunately, one bout is often followed by another. In fact, half of women who have one episode will have another." - 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.) "The reason for this is unknown. Unfortunately, as most of us are all too aware, sudden hair loss can be a reaction to chemotherapy and radiation treatment for cancer. Just as these treatments stop rapidly dividing cancer cells from multiplying, they also stop the rapidly growing hair SIGNIFICANT FACT SIGN OF THE TIMES The Polish-French composer and pianist Chopin was purported to have had a beard on only the right side of his face—the side seen by the audience.The unseen side, he claimed, didn't matter." - 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.)

"In fact, human activity had degraded the marginal lands in ways unknown in earlier times. Food production declined throughout the Sahel, except on irrigated lands, where governments grew cash crops like groundnuts and grain for export. The drive for export crops pushed groundnuts into areas where drought-resistant millet was once a staple for village farmers. The millet farmers moved onto marginal land, so even more people went hungry." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Although this study shows benefits for 90 per cent of the Buteyko group, the reasons are as yet unknown and warrant further research. If people do try Butekyo, and other treatments, we still recommend continuing with the medications prescribed by their doctor. A complementary approach with support of your doctor and your asthma action plan is still the best and safest option. If reactions from participants are any indication, the Butekyo Method is proving very beneficial for some severe asthmatics." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"If they fall ill, they immediately believe the body must be doing something wrong, whereas in reality it is doing something right to rectify a difficult situation they have created or allowed for whatever known or unknown reason. If they hold onto the belief, "The body is making me sick," long enough, that misinterpretation of the real situation will turn into something that they eventually experience to be true. Furthermore, if many other people believe the same thing, it becomes an established "fact" we have to live with." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "This inner transformation of perspective immediately dispels the fear of the unknown. Once you accept an injury or an illness as something that can benefit you, e.g., strengthen you in To develop this ability, see Lifting the Veil of Duality - Your Guide to Living without Judgment. an area of your life where you have felt weak, incompetent, or anxious before, you will start connecting with it. This connection with the "problem" then allows your energy and emotion to flow into it and release the emotional barriers to spontaneous healing." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "All this judgment does, however, is rule out the chance of recovery as a result of undergoing alternative treatments unknown to the treating physician. Just because the relatively young Western system of medicine does not know how to treat cancer successfully, does not imply that the ancient forms of medicine are helpless, too. In orthodox medicine, patients are not encouraged to expect a spontaneous remission of their cancer. Doctors want to avoid giving them "false" hope, if there can be such a thing as false hope. Either there is hope or there is none, but hope cannot be wrong or false." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "The fear of the unknown is not a tangible thing that you can just get rid of by deciding to. More often than not, you manifest what you are afraid of. Negative expectations are self-fulfilling prophecies. When these prophecies or expectations become fulfilled, it may give you the idea that they would have occurred anyway, as if you had no choice. Yet, you always have a choice. You are never a victim of anything or anyone, even it feels that way, which is the point. You can only be a victim when you feel like one." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"After three months of waiting in chronic fear and panic over the unknown, Carmen now had confirmation that she was facing an aggressive cancer. The relationship between creating options and all rungs on the Brilliant Health staircase becomes obvious in the tragedy of Carmen's story. Those three months of chronic depression and fear led her to inaction, poor decisions, and disaffection from her family. And even worse, her deep fear and panic may have dulled her immune system's ability to perform essential surveillance and eradication of cancer cells." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.) "Though a lot of its functions are unknown, it does beneficially affect blood pressure and other cardiac functions. Thus, expressing appreciation really does feel good to your heart! In our next story, Mesut's mother would agree. MESUT AND THE EMPTY NEST On a research trip to the Middle East, we met Mesut (his real name, and one of eight words that translate to happy in Turkish). Soon after Mesut moved away from the family home in central Turkey, his mother, Cecil, now childless for the first time in thirty years, began suffering from severe asthma and panic attacks." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"The primary cause of asthma is unknown and there are as many theories about its causes as there are cures'. However in the past few years we have discovered a good deal about what sets off asthma. Statistically, parents who have asthma are more likely to have asthmatic children than non-asthmatic parents. However, the link is not simple, as parents who have a history of allergies in general—food allergies, eczema and hives, for instance—are also more likely to have asthmatic children than non-allergy-prone parents." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"But many doctors and Chirurgeons are like to condemn this remedy as new and unknown, and so render it suspected among their patients?' Busschof's alter ego called upon the value of experienced relief to disarm this straw-man: 'The effect will soon silence you, and convince you of envy and ignorance [on the part of the protesting medical men].' Busschof accompanied his sharp critique of western medicine's 'arrogance' and resistance to change with some censure of medicine in Asia." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.) "However, Swift's sense that abstract science had little to do with real life, and offered few practical benefits was common in the period—and indeed is not unknown today. He firmly believed that science and the Baconian 'scientific method' were merely faddish, and rejected outright the idea that knowledge created through experiment was better or more accurate that knowledge rooted in experience or (ancient) precedent. Swift's views reflected those of many physicians in his own time and well into the twentieth century." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.) "Compare this picture of moxabustion to the practice that Ten Rhyne named acupuncture: acupuncture was virtually unknown and had none of moxabustion's farniliarity to render it accessible to lay audiences. Even the basic instrument required to perform the operation—a finely ground, very long silver or golden needle—was far from commonplace in this period (see Figures 13). The procedure he described involved penetrating (without opening) the body's surface, an act which was rare in western medicine, and when performed, highly dangerous and thus riddled with repugnant associations." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"Before the Industrial Revolution pollution was virtually unknown except for the natural phenomena of volcanic eruptions, swamps emitting methane gas, sulphur springs or fires. Industrialisation has exposed us to an enormous amount of man-made irritants. The human body is now forced to cope with constant health hazards in the form of water and air pollution, noise, stress, radiation and dangerous chemicals, forced upon us from factories, power stations, agriculture, mines and waste disposal." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"For a large percentage of the diseases described in medical books and literature, we find the cause listed as "unknown." If we don't know what the cause of a disease is, how can we know what to do to treat it? We invariably end up only treating the symptom. Treating a symptom is like taking the battery out of a smoke alarm when it has sounded instead of looking for the source and cause of the smoke. Is it possible the headache we feel is signaling that something is out of balance with the body's metabolism? Or could it have something to do with our emotional state?" - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)
