"Each and every day you crash into the "myopic mindset" and the widespread opinion that little or nothing can be done to prevent nearsightedness. Even a few academic authorities support this opinion. The widespread and accepted opinion on the use of "glass prostheses" (glasses) cannot be defeated—even when direct experimental data argues against it. The glasses are regarded as a sign of modern style. Again, the goal of the optical industry is to have you believe that there is nothing else you can do except wear minus-lens glasses." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"Contamination of fish is widespread. According to Rudolph Ballentine, MD, mercury toxicity is being reported with increasing frequency by physicians as well as dentists. The two main contributing factors seem to be a diet high in fish and the common use of silver-mercury amalgams for dental work. Fish consumption alone may be enough to cause mercury toxicity. An article by the Canadian Medical Association in 1976 reported that Indians in Northern Canada, who ate more than a pound of fish per day, had symptoms of mercury poisoning." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Although my "test" had been brief, it was also a powerful confirmation of how widespread the knowledge of belief's power really is. What was so interesting about the exchange with our geshe was that his test confirmed both what the experiments are telling us and what the spiritual traditions of the world have suggested for centuries. If the universe, our bodies, and everyday life are a virtual experience based on consciousness, then belief is the program that allows us to "wake up" while we're still in the simulation. So when we ask the age-old question "How real is reality?" - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "The corollary of this principle is that when the paradigm of an old belief is shattered, it must be done in the presence of others to have a widespread effect. In all probability, some runner somewhere in the world could have run the four-minute mile a month before Roger Bannister ever did. And if he or she did so in the privacy of his or her own backyard track, where the only ones watching were the family pets, how could it be accepted by others? Like the sound of a tree that falls in the forest with no one to hear, who would ever know?" - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "Some catastrophic event (such as a global war, natural disaster, widespread disease, and so on) will destroy us before we ever reach the posthuman stage. 2. We reach the posthuman stage but have little interest in creating universe-sized simulations of reality. 3. We reach the posthuman stage, we have the interest and/or the need to create a virtual world, and we actually do so." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"When Mayo Clinic researchers looked at the vitamin D level of patients who had unexplained widespread musculoskeletal pain for a long time, they found that 93 percent had vitamin D deficiency. Some of these people then took vitamin D and calcium supplements regularly, and the result was a dramatic resolution of their pain, fatigue, and muscle cramps. Similarly, Dr. Al Faraj at Riyadh Armed Forces Hospital in Saudi Arabia discovered vitamin D deficiency in 83 percent of several hundred patients who had chronic back pain for more than six months without a diagnosis. When Dr." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Sadly, with no safety testing done prior to its widespread use, it affected and harmed millions of unsuspecting humans and wildlife, especially birds. When Rachel Carson's groundbreaking Silent Spring was published in 1962, which cataloged the environmental impacts of the indiscriminate spraying of DDT in the United States and questioned the logic of releasing large amounts of chemicals into the environment without fully understanding their effects on ecology or human health, people began to wonder." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"CADMIUM Cadmium, a widespread heavy metal contaminant found in air, soil, and water, can accumulate in the pancreas and exert diabetogenic effects in animals. In a large cross-sectional study, urinary cadmium levels are significantly and dose-dependently associated with both impaired fasting glucose and diabetes.54 Such accumulations increase the likelihood of kidney damage and failure, spur free radical activity, and exacerbate neuromuscular complications of Type-2 diabetes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Two such AminoCarnitines that have already generated widespread interest are acetyl-L-carnitine arginate and acetyl-L-carnitine taurinate. This new technology will become much more common in the future as its advantage is more widely recognized. See the inset "What Are AminoCarnitines" below for a synopsis of information about AminoCarnitines. Carnitine in its free (base) form is very hydroscopic, that is, it draws moisture and is unstable; therefore, this free form is not suitable for making tablets or capsules." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"It is a myth because we did not previously have widespread knowledge of how to reverse it naturally, although as early as 1920, Max Gerson, MD, healed Albert Schweitzer, MD, of diabetes with a live-food diet. Diabetes is clearly a pandemic created by the world lifestyle of the Culture of Death. The statistics are overwhelming. Nothing less than the health of whole societies is at stake. What is needed is to help the world transition into the Culture of Life, which must be done on a personal basis." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The term, which frequently comes up in discussions of these disease increases, suggests that the population is experiencing widespread changes in DNA, simply in the normal course of evolution. But is that the root cause of all these childhood health problems? Do genes really change that fast? When I asked the almost two dozen prominent doctors and researchers who I interviewed for this book to explain this concept to me, every single one of them told me point blank that there is no such thing as a genetic epidemic." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Lead-Free Toys Act: First introduced in 2005, this bill received widespread attention after the lead-toy scare during the summer of 2007. It would require the Consumer Product Safety commission to ban any children's product containing lead under the Hazardous Substances Act. At the moment, there are no federal limits on lead in children's products, unless they contain lead paint, in which case they're regulated under the lead-in-paint law. Mercury-Free Vaccine Legislation: Across the country, individual states are taking a stand against manufacturing vaccines with the preservative thimerosal." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Now, when you look at these out-of-control numbers, you can begin to get a sense of the widespread damage these toxins are causing. Our infant mortality rate is another issue of growing concern. According to a recent study conducted by Save the Children, the United States has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the industrialized world, with five deaths per one thousand births. Though we have more neonatologists and neonatal intensive care units than Australia, Canada, and Britain, we also have a higher infant mortality rate." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Only when we truly educate ourselves about the widespread threats to our children's health can we take steps to avoid and ultimately eliminate those threats. With that goal in mind, in 2001, I founded the Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology at the Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey, to raise people's awareness of the environmental factors that contribute to childhood cancer and other serious childhood diseases." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"However, heavy metals, even more than other toxins, appear to most frequently ereate the high level of toxicity that can result in widespread inflammation. In my own practice, the toxins that seem to be most commonly found in asthmatic children are mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium, tin, and arsenic. The high incidence of toxicity from mercury and aluminum, of course, makes me suspect that part of the current asthma epidemic was caused by the childhood vaccinations that contained mercury and aluminum." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"A pandemic is an epidemic that becomes very widespread and affects a whole region, a continent, or the world. This book is about looking deeply at the underlying causes of diabetes on both the pandemic-global and the personal level, and supplying readers with a way to achieve rapid reversal from the misery of a diabetic physiology to a joyous and healthy physiology." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Cell death in the basal forebrain can lead to widespread depletion of acetylcholine throughout the brain and is one of the correlates of the loss in memory and learning capability. We still don't know exactly why these cholinergic nerve cells in the basal forebrain die, or how to prevent their death. So instead of addressing that problem, current treatments focus on inhibiting cholinesterase, the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine in the brain." - 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.)

"Numerous studies have demonstrated this effect, yet its use remains widespread, even in products otherwise billing themselves as safe and natural. (See chapter 6.) Sunscreens, either alone or used in cosmetics or lotions, give users an illusion of safety that encourages them to stay out in the sun longer, exposing them to greater amounts of dangerous longwave ultraviolet radiation. Sunscreens also contain chemicals linked in laboratory experiments to hormone disruption . (See chapter 8." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"There is widespread concern of the over-medicalization of mental disorders and the overuse of medications. Financial incentives and managed care have contributed to the notion of a 'quick fix' by taking a pill and reducing the emphasis on psychotherapy and psychosocial treatments. There is much evidence that there is less psychotherapy provided by psychiatrists than 10 years ago. This is true despite the strong evidence base that many psychotherapies are effective used alone or in combination with medications." Why is the profession so devoted to the drugs? Dr." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Opposition to the most common orthodox treatment—prescription medications including Ritalin and Adderall, as well as the newer Concerta and Strattera—has become increasingly widespread and vocal. Dr. Harold Buttram, who helped Timothy and continues to help other children with many of these symptoms, says that the problem is reaching epidemic proportions. "I always make a point of asking patients of mine who are schoolteachers and have been teaching for 20 or 30 years whether there has been a change in the behavior of children during that time." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Everyone there from every medical specialty was saying, 'Isn't it amazing that our colleagues are not aware of the very lengthy published information on the prevalence of magnesium deficiency in America, and its very widespread picture in clinical practice?' Any ordinary person would have come away from the conference saying, 'Well, how come this problem is being overlooked?' The cynical answer may be the truth: Magnesium deficiency research has no corporate sponsor. "I've become convinced that magnesium deficiency is a major epidemic, one that we are experiencing right now in North America." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "The yeast problem probably arose because of the widespread use of antibiotics in the population. "Many people come to see me specifically because they think that I am a yeast specialist, and so perhaps I see these patients in disproportionate numbers. But I think that this epidemic, which is being disregarded by many people in mainstream medicine, is simply overwhelming in its prevalence in the United States. Many people's medical histories show a quite obvious yeast problem." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"It was at this point that coenzyme Q10 gained widespread acceptance in Japan and became more available for those with heart disease. Meanwhile, one night, at about 3:00 A.M., English scientist Peter Mitchell was struggling to sleep. Envisioning an incomplete schema in his mind, he suddenly had an "Aha!" experience and realized the solution to a complicated puzzle he had been trying to piece together. He was subsequently awarded the Nobel Prize in 1978 for elucidating how coenzyme Q10 works and describing the energy transfer processes within the mitochondria of the cell." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"IVIG is exceedingly expensive, and widespread therapy using this approach is not likely to be a long-term solution. alzhemed: the amyloid dredging approach Alzhemed is an experimental oral product for mild-to-moderate AD that has been specifically designed to modify the course of the disease by binding to amyloid as the primary target, preventing the protein from forming into BAP deposits and filtering it out of the body." - 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.)

"Those of you who are environmentally conscious may already know that our soils are becoming depleted of magnesium, which eliminates the natural opportunity to receive magnesium from fruits, vegetables, and water. The widespread use of portable water in plastic bottles can be another problem. Unless the label sites that magnesium is present in that water, you cannot be sure that it is. Emotional and physical stress also deplete the body's magnesium stores. The more vigilant, time urgent, overly concerned, and fearful we become, the more Cortisol is secreted from our adrenals." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Psychoanalysis caught on quickly in the early twentieth century in America and elsewhere, and an impetus began to develop for the widespread integration of psychoanalysis into clinical treatment. Freud soon became highly esteemed in the West as a man who had uncovered the deep, dark truths about human motivation, desire, disease, and dysfunction. A sharp wedge was driven between organically based psychiatry and Freudian psychiatry as they competed for legitimacy in the modern discourse of mental illness. The stakes were high." - 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.)

"This creates a situation of general stress in people and, with time, produces a negative focal adaptation with the most widespread consequence—myopia. The proximal stress theory must be included together with other physical stimuli—that is, the eye must be treated as a "system." Therefore the eye's focal status must be considered in concert with physiological and mental stress. The visual system is subjected to stress such as overcon-vergence and overaccommodation. In Bates's theory, myopia is a result of mental stress and could be largely ended by recognizing these basic concepts." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.) "Even a few academic authorities support this opinion. The widespread and accepted opinion on the use of "glass prostheses" (glasses) cannot be defeated—even when direct experimental data argues against it. The glasses are regarded as a sign of modern style. Again, the goal of the optical industry is to have you believe that there is nothing else you can do except wear minus-lens glasses. If you reject this common idea and feel that there must be something better you can do for your eyes and for your level of perception, then you have already moved toward a correct and more effective method." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.) "Even though the retinal defocus technique isn't widespread, it would be wrong to state that it doesn't exist or that it is inefficient. Your eyes will show it to you after you have carried out the specific training with retinal defocus for some time. When should you start working with retinal defocus? The very same rule of common sense works here: always follow the principle of retinal defocus. There's no standard time before starting to train with defocus." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"Looking at the total picture, we can see that L-carnitine supplementation has widespread potential to protect heart attack survivors. Although the latter trial included 472 patients with their first heart attack—a good-size group from which to draw conclusions—a larger, double-blind trial should be considered in the future, using mortality as a specific clinical end point." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)
