"If you read his energy field, you'll notice a sudden thrust—like an arrow—coming out from his field and invading his "victim's" field to "bite" a chunk of the other's energy. He steals his coworker's energy and leaves the victim feeling drained and anxious. Another more common example is the energy-drained friend who calls you on the phone to complain about life. You try to offer some good advice, but this person discounts what you have to say or blows it off. Have you ever had a conversation like this where you feel completely spent afterward?" - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"The helpless, hopeless victim falls into depression or rants and raves about how horrible it is to grow old and how his or her medicine isn't working and how bad its side effects are. "It's not my fault!" whines the victim. Yet another reason is financial. Many people don't want to invest much out-of-pocket money in their bodies. If health insurance won't cover the alternative doctor or fasting clinic, they won't go. They spend more on car maintenance than maintaining their own bodies. They take more pride in their luxury transportation vehicles than in their souls' vehicles!" - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"They will keep bumping up against it until they choose no longer to be a victim to it. He added that Mother Earth had chosen not to be a victim to humanity or to anyone else in the universe anymore and this was why the global transformation was occurring. In giving up victimization, individuals "own" their own power and state who they are. He noted that Patricia and I were choosing not to be victims anymore; and if we were to move back into a victimization role, it would make us very sick. We had strong reactions to these latest revelations." - Robert Sampson, M.D. & Patricia Hughes, B.S.N., Breaking Out of Environmental Illness: Essential Reading for People with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Allergies, and Chemical Sensitivities (Get the book.)

"The pulse quickens, and the victim may rapidly lapse into a coma. Unless drastic measures are taken to reduce the body's core temperature, the brain is starved of oxygen and vital organs begin to fail. Death will be only minutes away unless the emergency services can quickly get the victim into intensive care. These emergency services failed to save over 10,000 Parisian heatstroke victims in the summer of 2003. Mortuaries quickly ran out of space as hundreds of dead bodies, mainly of elderly and marginalised people, were brought in each night." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"And she was a victim of a depression that would come and go. The conversation turned to what kind of therapy a doctor like myself—an orthomolecular doctor and a nutrition physician—would use. She decided to come in for a consultation to explain her depressions. In the first two months, as I went through phase one with her, which was the nutrition analysis stage, nothing came of it. There was almost a 100-percent probability that we were going to find something chemical because the psychological inputs just didn't explain her depressions." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Ricotta cheese and 'A cup strawberries • A roast chicken breast with salad • Spinach salad with tofu chunks • Egg salad on a whole grain bagel • Cream cheese, lox on a whole grain bagel • Chicken taco with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese anything, but at least you will be deciding rather than simply being a victim of always being late. • I have to eat out. Eating out doesn't need to be a problem with this food plan. You can eat at fast-food joints, fancy restaurants or the local deli." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"Grose said, had died from a bacterial strep infection so vicious that it had killed its victim even before doctors could start treatment. Other physicians found, he said, that a powerful antibiotic called Rocephin had failed to work in three young patients. The children had developed empyema, a condition in which the lungs become surrounded by cupfuls of fluid, after their infections spread. The three appeared to get better after three to five days of Rocephin, Dr." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) "Another victim was a seven-year-old black girl from an urban area of Minnesota. She had been admitted to the hospital with an infection in the joint of her right hip. Doctors gave her an antibiotic, but the infection spread through her bloodstream to her lungs. She soon developed pneumonia and empyema. She died after five weeks in the hospital. The other two children were a twelve-month-old white boy from rural North Dakota and a thirteen-year-old white girl from Minnesota. Both had suddenly developed ferocious lung infections." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Modern medicine has much to offer if we fall victim to such events. Most personal predicaments are less threatening to our physical well-being. That they are less than catastrophic gives us an opportunity to pause and consider what to do. Some have been medicalized to such good effect that it is as sensible to seek medical care for them as for the catastrophic events: burning on urination, fever and a productive cough, abnormal vaginal bleeding, for example. However, for many other personal predicaments appropriate recourse is less certain, even contentious." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Often people are a victim of themselves. Every choice has an outcome. Make choices for your higher good and release the burdens of your negative emotions. You have absolute control over what you put in your body, how you exercise and what you focus on. People choose many ways to detoxify emotionally. They may seek out or partake in prayer, group meetings, talking to friends, attending church, spiritual counsel or through retreats. Some big decisions may need to be made in order to make the changes required. Consciously establish your intent to choose to heal while cleansing." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"This is important because the '1 Moreover, given the multiplicity of randomized controlled trials that are reported every week in the literature, one can be certain that some of them will have fallen victim to that chance. placebo effect is a powerful one, and individuals in a trial, knowing that they are receiving a potentially efficacious treatment for a serious health problem, respond differently than do individuals outside the investigative context. This difference in response is known technically as "interference" of the investigation in the outcome." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"By 1958, Professor Kung in China—who became a victim of the Cultural Revolution and we lost track of him—was the first to recognize that zinc was essential in humans. A paper he wrote in Chinese unfortunately never got published in English. About four years later, an American researcher from Wayne State University, working in Egypt, discovered that zinc was intimately required by the human body to develop secondary sexual characteristics. His research eventually lead to the National Academy of Sciences' establishing zinc as an essential nutrient." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"He steals his coworker's energy and leaves the victim feeling drained and anxious. Another more common example is the energy-drained friend who calls you on the phone to complain about life. You try to offer some good advice, but this person discounts what you have to say or blows it off. Have you ever had a conversation like this where you feel completely spent afterward? If you'd watched the exchange using your vision skills, you would actually have seen the energy being drawn out of you by the erstwhile energy-hungry friend. The distance between callers doesn't matter." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Stop being a victim." Patients also have to be ready to stop lying. "I ask them not to lie to anybody about anything they are doing for the next ten days," Dr. Eades says. "Well, that is a big task for many people in recovery. When they can go through a day without lying, they are probably starting to behave responsibly. If they are behaving irresponsibly and have someone they can tell, honestly, and then move on, that helps. "In sum, people with addictions have to start being responsible, start striving to be honest, and find a spiritual life." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"After a letter from a family member of an AD victim outlining the problems in caring for someone afflicted with the disease was published in October 1980 in the nationally syndicated newspaper advice column "Dear Abby," the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (ADRDA) received between thirty and forty thousand letters from people in all regions of the United States. The American public, having long accepted cognitive impairment as a component of the aging process, was coming to learn and fear the real scourge of old age, Alzheimer's disease." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Kevorkian's first assisted-suicide patient, Janet Adkins of Portland, Oregon, was a so-called Alzheimer's victim. Her family members said that she had made the decision to die when she was first diagnosed with having AD—that her outlook was so bleak after the brief conversation with her doctor that she couldn't bear the idea of suffering from the dread disease. Even though Mrs. Adkins was still hale enough to beat her sons at tennis, she made the decision in 1990 to contact Dr. Kevorkian and forgo the rest of her life. Quite simply, situations like the one in which Mrs." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Death will be only minutes away unless the emergency services can quickly get the victim into intensive care. These emergency services failed to save over 10,000 Parisian heatstroke victims in the summer of 2003. Mortuaries quickly ran out of space as hundreds of dead bodies, mainly of elderly and marginalised people, were brought in each night. The crisis caused a political furore as people accused politicians and municipal administrators of being more concerned with their long August holidays than with saving lives in the capital." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"The high micronutrient content of leaves and green food provides a double dose of goodness: it gives your body the premium building materials to start reconstruction, and simultaneously reduces your hunger by supplying the required quota of plant chemicals your genetic program is seeking.

"Participants learned that one cue signaled that an upcoming photograph might or might not present some disturbing image, like a burn victim or a disgustingly filthy toilet. About half the time it did. The rest of the time this same cue was followed by a completely harmless photograph, of a light switch, for example, or a chair. The other cue, by contrast, always signaled that the upcoming photograph would be neutral.11 This is how one simple shape—say the triangle—came to mean "threat," whereas the other—the circle—came to mean "safety." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"But Langbaum did say that the margin on cancer care is enough to generate some of the cushion needed to protect against losses in departments like the emergency room, which hemorrhages money the way a gunshot victim hemorrhages blood. About 20 to 2c percent of Hopkins emergency room patients are uninsured, and another 1 c to 20 percent are "underinsured," which means they are on Medicaid or a private plan that barely covers the hospital's expenses. Caring for the poor is part of the hospital's mission, but it comes at a cost." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "Every story had a victim, vulnerable and sick, who was denied care by a villainous, unfeeling corporation. Only occasionally did a doctor appear as the hero. These kinds of stories proved irresistible to the media. From 1980 to 1990, only 137 news articles were written about HMOs and managed care. Over the next decade, the number of stories swelled to 2,659, the vast majority of them tales of care denied. Readers were particularly outraged by stories of managed care "drive-through deliveries," the practice of sending women and their babies home within twenty-four hours of birth." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "Department chiefs may single out individual attendings and residents for a grilling, hurling questions at them in order to trip them up before moving on to the next victim. Baker doesn't go in much for public humiliation, but he is not above asking a misleading question that lures a doctor into an incorrect answer if it will help him make a larger point. The last case for the day is an elderly man who is dying of prostate cancer. Dr." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "The dying patient was cast as a victim of both her breast cancer and her insurance company. Women were in a "desperate struggle to buy more time," as the Dayton Daily News put it, and the only thing standing between them and a possible cure was their greedy insurers. Soon breast cancer advocacy groups, like the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, which sponsors the annual "Race for the Cure," took up the cause. With the help of transplant doctors like Peters, they lobbied state legislatures and the federal government to mandate insurance coverage for the procedure." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"I froze," he said, "cried for the victim, and loathed my own limitations." A couple of weeks later, Franklin was driving to a dinner meeting with Phil Magistro and Lisa Kellett, who also worked as a medical liaison. Franklin asked Magistro if he had read the article about children taking Neurontin. "Yeah," Magistro replied, "but it's such a small number of kids, and they can just take them off if it happens. There's no permanent effect." Kellett then told Franklin what to do if other doctors mentioned the article.

"And nobody else is ultimately to blame for our circumstances either, because that is to still be stuck in victim mode. That is why Jesus said to his followers?if they believed and practiced the truths he was telling them?You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."2 However, throughout the Bible, Jesus always expected the other person to take the first step. When the desired change, such as a healing had happened for a person, he would say, "Your faith has made you whole." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Fox refers to himself not as a victim but as a "lucky man" for getting Parkinson's, because the condition transformed his life in positive ways as he adapted to his physical disability. Fox's story shows us that while every human malady has a biological basis, it is also socially constructed, and that the latter dimension helps us interpret and behave toward the biological condition. The dominance of the Alzheimer's disease model as a guiding framework for aging persons precludes more enlightened thinking about the process of our own aging." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Walled in boredom, hard work, or "culture," the subject loses the power of significant affirmative action and becomes a victim to be saved. His flowering world becomes a wasteland of dry stones and his life feels meaningless—even though, like King Minos, he may through titanic effort succeed in building an empire of renown. Whatever house he builds, it will be a house of death: a labyrinth of cyclopean walls to hide from him his Minotaur. All he can do is create new problems for himself and await the gradual approach of his disintegration.
