"His bilirubin values decreased from 4.7 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) to 1.8 mg/dL and albumin values were down from 3.7 grams per deciliter (g/dL) to 2.1 g/dL. His prothrombin activation increased from 36 to 92 percent. This was excellent. When the liver is diseased, it is unable to manufacture adequate amounts of clotting or thrombosis factors, so improved prothrombin activation indicates better liver function. His T-factor improved from 3-4 to 1-2." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Water is used as a reference as pH 7, which is considered neutral. values higher than pH 7 are considered alkaline (also known as base). Baking soda has an alkaline pH of 9. values lower than pH 7 are considered acid. Vinegar has an acidic pH of 3. If the blood deviates from its narrow range of normal acidity, delicate proteins can be damaged. Enzymes need normal acidity to perform their functions and are vital to life. In hospitals the acidity of intravenous solutions is carefully adjusted for proper pH. The concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) determines the acidity of a solution." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"The MANDI point system uses ANDI nutrient scores to assign point values to specific serving sizes of individual foods and recipes, allowing you to rate your daily menus. Using a simple equation, the ANDI, and the calories per serving, we calculate the MANDI and get a scoring system based on 100. A daily intake of 100 points of MANDI represents the ideal diet. The MANDI scores are another tool to help you live Eat For Health in your daily life, with foods and portion sizes that you typically encounter. Beginning on page 79, you will find point values for a variety of commonly eaten foods." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"The GI and GL values of foods listed here are derived from research published by K, Foster-Powell, S. H. Holt, and J. C. Brand-Miller. 2002. International table of glycemic index and glycemic load values. American Journal ojClinical Nutrition 76 (1): 5-56. Foods marked "E" are estimated values, while other foods have measured values. As the GLs of more foods are calculated, this table is updated on www.theholforddiet.com. NOTES Serving size notes: All pasta serving sizes are for cooked food. For the equivalent of dry weight, halve the score." - Patrick Holford, The New Optimum Nutrition Bible (Get the book.)

"In addition to writing down your wants and needs, it can be helpful to write down your values. Your values are the things—the ideals, customs, traits, qualities, and behaviors—that are important and meaningful to you. Getting clear about your values helps you discover your purpose, because your purpose—what you're here for, what you want to do with your life—will in some way be related to your values. Your values, in turn, will help you get clearer about what it is you really want." - Jim Dreaver, The Ultimate Cure: The Healing Energy Within You (Llewellyn's Whole Life Series) (Get the book.)

"As these changes take hold, the improved social order—governed by more adapted values, worldviews, and ethics—establishes itself. Society stabilizes itself in its changed condition. Just as in nature, the first phase of society's Macroshift is triggered by the destabilization of the previously dominant system. But, unlike in nature, in the human world this occurs not because of external factors (such as the emergence of other species or other changes in the milieu) but through internal, self-created changes—changes in the way people Time Fig. 6." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Your child can learn in an environment filled with your values and beliefs. • There will be fewer negative messages for your child about his or her particular learning differences. Cons • The child loses the valuable experience of being at school and managing social pressures. • The child misses out on certain opportunities to make friends and may find it more difficult to adjust and form friendships if he or she returns to regular schooling. • You need to make certain that your curriculum matches the one used in school." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Roberts and colleagues [25] found that consuming a variety of foods with a high energy content was associated with higher body mass index (BMI) values among a representative sample of U.S. adults. In another study examining food consumption patterns of adults, there was a direct correlation between intake of relatively high energy foods and adiposity [26]. As depicted in Figure 1, body fatness was positively correlated with the variety of sweets, snacks, condiments, entrees, and carbohydrates consumed by study participants." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "The shaded zone is the graphic representation of the difference in population proportions that are hypertensive, which is produced by the lowering of the distribution of blood pressure values. (Copyright by Robert P. Heaney, 2007. Used with permission.) 30% in 30 years (i.e., a skeletal deterioration from normal status to osteoporosis). Weight gain presents a similar contrast. Energy imbalance of as little as 70kCal/d (less than one-half can of a typical carbonated beverage) leads to a weight gain of 70 lbs in just 10 years (i.e., it accounts for a transition from normal weight to obesity)." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"In this opening decade of the twenty-first century the values and beliefs we live by have become sadly, and in some cases dangerously, outdated. We need a new vision of ourselves, our world, and our place and role in the world. The vision we need can be, and indeed must be, grounded in the best insights we have into human nature and the nature of the world in which the human world is embedded. The vision of the world in which modern people place their trust is the one they consider scientific." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"This approach fit the colonel's values, worked well for him, and might work well for you. On the other hand, something at the other end of the spectrum might be more useful to you. I once treated a musician who had leukemia. He was a gentle, artistic sort. When we used this method, he envisioned wave after wave of pure clean water washing over his head and through his body to his feet. Every wave carried its own musical note, and the progression of waves formed a lilting melody. As each wave landed at his feet, it carried some portion of his cancer with it, washing him clean of the disease." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"And our partnership became all the more rewarding because she was so open about the deeper values that made the project worthwhile for her. On the other hand, the influence of the medical industry, especially the drug companies, was starting to make this kind of medical care seem antiquated. Increasingly my patients were looking to pills to keep them well instead of making the changes in their lives that evidence showed to be far more beneficial." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"I was in a massive amount of emotional pain from a long-term marriage that I was completely committed to—my values as a person wouldn't let me walk away no matter the difficulties?and I'd been feeling this pain for many years. I took it on willingly as a means to carry my wife's burdens and to shield my children from the unrest that would have resulted had I refused to suffer in silence. So many people elect to make the same sacrifice for their loved ones." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) "In the end, there is just one thing you have to do to go into deep hypnosis: bypass the gatekeeper (using suggestions that fit your values). If you do this, you will quite naturally access the subconscious mind, go deep into hypnosis, and get the job done, no matter what your goal is. Hypnosis is simply a way of directing your thought process to bypass the gatekeeper and get into the subconscious mind. Once there, you can relieve yourself of the things that hold you back and tap into the power and vision of the subconscious mind." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) "As I mentioned in chapter 8, we will only use suggestions that fit your values. The direct suggestions we'll be using are simple, clinically appropriate, and universally acceptable, such as, "There's a great feeling of ease, comfort, and strength growing inside of you." Suggestions like this one simply equate with positive thinking. When you use positive thinking under hypnosis, the effect is exponentially greater than when you use it in a waking conscious state." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"The integrity of quality is to be seen in their different shapes, textures, flavors, sensations and nutritional values. No two fruits are identical—nor should they be identical." They planted a wide variety of different trees in different years in order to ensure that they'd have some fruits every year. "Biannual fruit is natural with most trees," he says. "They shouldn't bear every year, so we let them be. Other people force them. They need to take a break. They just knock off and you have to expect it. That in itself is one good reason to grow more than one thing." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"A list of carbohydrates with their Glycemic values is shown on the following pages. The list is ordered by the G.I., which makes it easy to locate high or low G.I. foods. Except as noted, each of the G.I. values shown is based on around 80 studies in the professional literature referenced in the G.I. Factor. There are two Glycemic indexes, based on: 1. White bread = 100 2. Glucose = 100. The fact that there are two Glycemic indexes is confusing. I have shown the Glucose Index. Scientists fed 50 grams of glucose to their test subjects." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.)

"The desire for health is a unifying force "whose values go to the palace of the rich and the hovel of the poor." Medicine is "a work which penetrates everywhere." Thus, "the values of medical research are the most universal values on earth, and they are the most intimate and important values to every human being that lives."46 With medicine's unique acceptance by all people, the Rockefeller Foundation discovered what the missionaries also knew: Medicine can be used to convert and colonize the heathen." - E. Richard Brown, Rockefeller Medicine Men: Medicine and Capitalism in America (Get the book.)

"Another survey of American adults who chose alternative therapies demonstrated that they were predominately white, married, middle-aged, and educated, had less robust self-reported health status, and described the alternative treatment acts as more congruent with their own values, beliefs, and philosophical orientations toward health and life. This was borne out in a survey of chiropractic patients, with the additional insight that their self-reported "mental health" was as worrisome as their self-reported general health status." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Anyone who has taken Statistics 101 knows that p values of .05 or less (p < .05) are considered statistically significant. In this case it means that if the VIGOR study were repeated 100 times, more than 95 of those trials would show that the people who took Vioxx had at least twice as many heart attacks, strokes, and death from any cardiovascular event than the people who took naproxen. And in more than 99 out of those 100 studies, the people who took Vioxx would have at least four times as many heart attacks as the people who took naproxen." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "We all know that we are not "things" like the cadaver in the anatomy lab, that we possess "I-ness," and that our core of meaning and values is related to our sense of self and not to the kinds of knowledge that science reveals. Strict allegiance to the paradigm of biomedicine demands a hierarchical ordering of metaphysics with the facts that can be known by the methods of science alone at the top. A less constraining paradigm would value different metaphysical perspectives equally: One perspective is the body as a thing, that can be known by science." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Of course the relationship that evolved between Sister Marguerite and me was special, but still it serves as an example of the importance of shared values in the challenge of providing good medical care. Visiting her family, attending mass, meditating in the chapel, and being an active part of her community—these were the things that gave Sister Marguerite a sense of meaning. And these were the things that motivated her to be the recipient of a lot more medical care than she ever expected or wanted." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Fall in blood values reduction and the shortening of the recovery phases, including reduced susceptibility to infection, can definitely be associated with the formula's beneficial immunomodulating properties, attributed to its pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids. The prolongation of survival time and the increase in survival rate is presumably due to an increase and better functioning of killer T cells." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "L and albumin values were down from 3.7 grams per deciliter (g/dL) to 2.1 g/dL. His prothrombin activation increased from 36 to 92 percent. This was excellent. When the liver is diseased, it is unable to manufacture adequate amounts of clotting or thrombosis factors, so improved prothrombin activation indicates better liver function. His T-factor improved from 3-4 to 1-2. This is also an important finding, as T-factors indicate tumor diameter, and a T-factor 3 indicates a tumor more than two centimeters with potential spread into blood vessels. His N-factor changed 0-1 to 0." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"For this trip, she'd done several months' research into the nutrient values of fruits and vegetables that we'd expect to encounter in Nicoya. So when she heard about Aureliano's yard, which Jorge had described as "a private Garden of Eden," Eliza leaped at the opportunity to meet him. Eliza stood up with a stack of notes and began clicking through a series of images. As we saw pictures of Santa Ana, Aureliano's wood-plank house, his family and garden, she narrated his story. Aureliano's life and that of Don Faustino were strikingly similar." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "From everything I had seen in this Blue Zone, Tonino's values were also those of the region's population in general. People here possessed a reverence for family. Perhaps it had something to do with their historic isolation, surrounded as they were by hostile outsiders; they had to depend on one another. All the centenarians I met told me la famiglia was the most important thing in their lives—their purpose in life. In America, seniors tend to live apart from their children and grandchildren, often sent off to retirement homes when they become unable to care for themselves." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "The people there maintained not only their genetic features, but also their economic isolation and traditional social values, such as the respect for elders as a source of experience, the importance of the family clan, and the presence of unwritten laws—all of which proved to be effective means for avoiding foreign domination over the centuries." In other words, the self-imposed isolation of Sardinia created a genetic incubator of sorts, amplifying certain traits and subduing others." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"It was to focus in particular on the "soft factors" of the limits to growth: values, expectations, worldviews, and states of mind and consciousness. These, he said, may be even more decisive in our time than money and technology. He suggested that Budapest would provide an ideal intellectual and cultural climate for this enterprise. The idea was taken up by Sandor Csoori, then President of the World Federation of Hungarians, and the Club of Budapest was called into being." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Note that values vary somewhat according to the source water used, and the length and size of piping in the house through which energized water must travel. An arbitrary value of 100 was used for distilled water as an evaluation baseline.
