"Metropolitan Police Department in an attempt to reduce violent crime. Four thousand people agreed to meditate on the problem—that's four thousand personal BioEM fields focusing their mental energy on a large, complex set of energies associated with criminal tendencies, pockets of social oppression, and so on. The result: violent crime in Washington, D.C, dropped by an unprecedented 25 percent in the ensuing days. In subsequent chapters, I will teach you how to employ different ways of thinking to direct BioEM energies to improve the wellbeing of you and your 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.)

"A 2005 study showed that more than one-quarter of people with severe mental illness had been victims of a violent crime in the past year—eleven times the rate of the general population.45 A British study showed that psychiatric patients are six times more likely to be murdered than the average person.46 Conversely, the violence that the mentally ill perpetrate on others has been enormously exaggerated by the media." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"A recent study, the National Demonstration Project in Washington DC, conducted over two months in 1993, showed that when the local Super Radiance group increased to 4000, violent crime, which had been steadily increasing during the first five months of the year, began to fall, to 24 per cent, and continued to drop until the end of the experiment. As soon as the group disbanded, the crime rate rose again. The study demonstrated that the effect couldn't have been due to such variables as weather, the police or any special anti-crime campaign." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"By just providing vitamin and fish-oil supplements, there was a 35 percent reduction in felony-related violent crime in prison. It has also been shown that a lack offish consumption is universally related to depression. A one-year study found EPA was helpful in treating resistant depression. Omega-3 fats are also helpful in treating postpartum depression. DHA from fish oils is a critical part of a mother's breast milk that helps neurological development in the fetus. Women who have higher levels of omega-3 fats in their tissues have lower rates of postpartum depression." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Whenever the local Super Radiance group reached the threshold number of 4,000, the rate of violent crime fell and continued to fall, until the end of the experiment. The study was able to demonstrate that the effect had not been due to any other factors, such as police efforts or a special anticrime campaign. After the group disbanded, the crime rate in the capital rose again.15 The TM organization has also targeted global conflict. In 1983 a special TM assembly met in Israel to send intentions through meditation to resolve the Palestinian conflict." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"At the same time the divorce rate doubled, the teen suicide rate more than doubled, violent crime tripled, and more people than ever say they are depressed. We have big houses and broken homes, high income and low morale, secured rights and diminished civility. 9." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"The result: violent crime in Washington, D.C, dropped by an unprecedented 25 percent in the ensuing days. In subsequent chapters, I will teach you how to employ different ways of thinking to direct BioEM energies to improve the wellbeing of you and your loved ones. For now, it is important for you to realize that what you're thinking will help determine your experience. As you work through the exercises at the end of this chapter, then, allow yourself to think big. Realize that you have extraordinary levels of power in your mind. Let yourself use these powers." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"As more children become distractible, impulsive and lacking in empathy, antisocial behaviour and violent crime will increase. If toxic childhood syndrome is not stemmed, it will pose an increasing threat to social cohesion. We could, of course, try to solve the problem by doling out drugs, as already happens in the case of the growing number of children diagnosed with ADHD. I would be the last to deny that some families desperately need the relief that comes from a timely dose of Ritalin -living with a severely ADHD child can be utter hell." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)

"Poor children are also more likely to commit violent crime as they grow older.4 The point? Even "obvious" answers are often wrong. I keep a file labeled "Research Errors" which is filled with scientific research studies that we later came to realize were erroneous. What do all these studies have in common? Nearly all are correlational studies. Most of the 'esearch that has ever been published is correlational research—a research design that fools the public and the researcher, oh, so easily." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"As everyone knows, the pursuit of happiness by means of government-disapproved drugs is now punished more severely than violent crime. The minimum penalty imposed by U.S. federal law for "attempted murder with harm" is 6.5 years; for possession of LSD, it is 10.1 years.9 In addition, possessing an illegal drug is presumptive evidence of using it, being addicted to it, and hence having a disease as well." - Thomas Szasz, The Medicalization of Everyday Life: Selected Essays (Get the book.)

"In 200 counties the rate of violent crime was 200 per 100,000 with no manganese toxicity in the air, while in 13 counties with high levels of manganese discharge violent crime was six times as high. Professor EM. Crinella suggested in a letter to the National Nutritional Foods Association that elevated levels of manganese can develop not only from high ambient levels but also when the diet is inadequate, thus depriving the subjects of trace elements which neutralize the effect of excessive manganese. These diets are deficient in calcium, zinc, and essential nutrients." - Dr. Abram Hoffer, M.D., FRCP(C), Healing Children's Attention & Behavior Disorders (Get the book.)

"Critics say 1983 1993 1983 1993 | Total Violent Crimes | Total Sentences for Violent Crimes (in months) In Massachusetts, violent crime goes up, but violent criminals are back on the street sooner. as the dea gets tougher, hemp growers get innovative. Photograph by Andre Grossman. The modern legislative form of "reefer madness" has caused tragedies far worse than any of the fantastic marijuana gore stories of the 1930s. In one extreme case—and there are many—the individual who suffered the consequences of over-zealous law enforcement was Mark Young." - Rowan Robinson, The Great Book of Hemp: The Complete Guide to the Environmental, Commercial, and Medicinal Uses of the World's Most Extraordinary Plant (Get the book.)

"Sleepwalking, excessive bleeding of wounds, greater potency of herbs collected during full moon night, an increase in the number of accidents and violent crime, and a higher birth rate, are all effects of increased lunar influence. Cutting trees during full moon can destroy them. Since the body has a tendency to hold back fluids during full moon, it is also best to avoid doing liver flushes or other cleanses at that time. Also avoid having operations, including dental work, on full moon, as you may suffer complications or infections." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"As terrible as it sounds, after nearly 20 years researching links between violent crime, suicide and antidepressants, Tracy is surprised only that it doesn't happen more often. In her experience, when it comes to investigating high-profile shootings, antidepressants are as common as the presence of loneliness, despondence and rage. "I'm just so tired of seeing people die, I could scream," Tracy said during a phone interview. "It's happening daily in this country. It's so massive, it's just unreal. We've got so many school shootings now, I can't even begin to keep up with them all." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"The author of the best-sellling book Freakonomics proposes a novel and provocative explanation for the dramatic decrease in violent crime in America from the early 1990s onward. The roots of this phenomenon long baffled social analysts. How could crime in a country drop by such a huge percentage in such a short time? Explanations like better policing or longer incarceration are inadequate to explain such a marked shift. The answer comes from an unlikely source: The establishment of legal abortion on demand." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"States to avoid cooperation and mutual accommodation, the tendency of national States (or factions within national States) to use war (and otherwise unspeakably dark-minded violence) as a method for achieving the goals of national and otherwise culturally idealized policies ..." The list could be continued; it is long and somber. As we have seen, this scenario of business as usual leads to a dead end. Other species went toward and into extinction through little or no fault of their own: the environment around them changed, or other species invaded their niche." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Depending on the nature of your intention, make one member of the group responsible for researching statistics involving your local accident, weather, or crime statistics. For these types of statistics, it is a good idea to get hold of reports for the last five years in your area and surrounding communities so you have something solid to compare. Then, when you meet, decide on a group intention statement. When you are "powering up," visualize yourselves as a single entity (say, a giant bubble or any other unified internal image)." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Illllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Magnesium, Violence W" n February of 2006 the New York Times reported that, "While violent crime has been at historic lows nationwide and in cities like New York, Miami and Los Angeles, it is rising sharply in many other places across the country. Jk L And while such crime in the recent past was characterized by battles over gangs and drug turf, the police say the current rise in homicides has been set off by something more bewildering: petty disputes that hardly seem the stuff of fist fights, much less gunfire or stabbings." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"He spends the most time on one of the biggest fallacies, that access to guns increases violent crime. We know this is false in several ways, one of which being that the nation that has the highest rate of gun ownership (including handguns and machine guns)?Switzerland—has an extraordinarily low crime rate. Another piece of evidence is the fact that, after Australia essentially banned guns in 1996, the amount of violent crime in that country shot up, since criminals no longer had to worry that their victims might be packing heat." - The Disinformation Company, Everything You Know Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies (Get the book.)

"This was a gesture to those Americans who felt threatened by rising violent crime. And so, by 1994, the United States had more of its population in prison per capita?a million people—than any other country in the world. If the Clinton administration and the Democratic Leadership Council hoped to win over moderate voters by moving away from bold social programs and emphasizing toughness on crime and a strong military, they failed. In the congressional elections of 1994, Republicans ousted Democrats in both House and Senate in sufficient numbers to give them a majority in both houses." - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.)

"Areas with the highest ambient manganese levels combined with deficiencies of calcium had the highest rates of violent crime. Nutritional sources of manganese will contribute to the manganese burden. Human milk is comparatively low in manganese, containing about 10 micrograms per quart. But cow milk contains three times as much and soy based formulae contains up to 100 times as much." - Dr. Abram Hoffer, M.D., FRCP(C), Healing Children's Attention & Behavior Disorders (Get the book.)

"Drugs have come to dominate crime, especially violent crime, in the streets of the First World and drug-related offenses are responsible for at least half the prisoners in detention in most Western countries. In turn, few if any prisons are drug-free. Drug-related ailments also fill hospitals, hospices, and sanatoria, though both tobacco and alcohol are said to be more damaging to health than the products of opium poppies or coca leaves, if only because ten times as many people use tobacco or alcohol." - Henry Hobhouse, Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind (Get the book.)

"Aggressive action is part of the American ethos: football is the most aggressive of national sports; the rate of violent crime is far higher in America than in any of the other industrial democracies; and the rate of incarceration of Americans far exceeds that of any other industrial democracy, rivaling those of the former Soviet Union and the Union of South Africa. Nor does the violence come only from the high violent crime rate of the American underclass." - Michael Lerner, Choices in Healing: Integrating the Best of Conventional and Complementary Approaches to Cancer (Get the book.)

"Another piece of evidence is the fact that, after Australia essentially banned guns in 1996, the amount of violent crime in that country shot up, since criminals no longer had to worry that their victims might be packing heat. An analysis of crime statistics from around the US shows "that violent crime dropped by 4 percent for each 1 percent increase in gun ownership." States that start allowing concealed carrying of guns witness a 10 percent drop in the murder rate, on average." - The Disinformation Company, Everything You Know Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies (Get the book.)

"Furthermore, alcoholism is to be regarded as a very deleterious social phenomenon that is responsible for a high number of deaths, including those associated with violent crime or motor-vehicle accidents. Hence, all anecdotal as well as experimental data regarding the potentially positive effects of drinking any form of alcohol, including red wine, should be accompanied by such a warning/disclaimer, and the form in which messages concerning the health effects of wine is to be conveyed to the lay public deserves careful attention.1" - Amarjit S. Basra, Handbook of Medicinal Plants (Get the book.)

"Scientists who have recently conducted animal research testified on the dangers of soy formula and the growing evidence that the high manganese content of soy formula is contributing to behavioral disorders and violent crime.59 If Hodges succeeds, California in 2005 will become the first state to make it illegal for soy formula to be given to infants under six months of age. FLUORIDE TOXICITY dental and mental fluorosis luorine is a pale yellow, highly toxic, extremely reactive and corrosive gas. In nature, fluorine is found combined with minerals and known as fluoride." - Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN, The Whole Soy Story: The dark side of America's favorite health food (Get the book.)
