"They are wrong about facts, they are wrong about theories, they are wrong about dates, they are wrong about geography, they are wrong about the future, they are wrong about the past, and at best they are misleading about the present, not to mention next week. Let us hasten to add that we do not claim (which is to say, our studies thus far have not yet shown) that all experts everywhere are always wrong. We are ready to concede that the experts are occasionally right. As a matter of fact, some of our colleagues have argued persuasively that the experts are right as much as half the time." - Christopher Cerf and Victor S. Navasky, The Experts Speak : The Definitive Compendium of Authoritative Misinformation (Get the book.)

"Beyond all that, if you face crushing fatigue or stabbing pain each and every day, you don't need to know much more to be sure that something is truly wrong with your body. Unfortunately, this story is not unusual. Up to 20 percent of all patients who seek medical care, primarily women, have no easily diagnosed cause for their problems. That means literally millions of patients." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "But favorable results on all of them don't mean that there's nothing wrong with you, or that your symptoms are on the verge of simply vanishing. As you now know, each of the five panels I've described here is very specific. If they are positive, they are important; if they are negative, the questions of diagnosis and cause of illness remain unanswered. So when all of the usual tests show that everything is normal, and my patient still has fatigue or pain, I then order tests for some less common disorders that can produce these two conditions." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "No more "nothing wrong." But it is not just the need for a diagnosis that drives many to keep searching; it is the relief that comes with being listened to and being understood. Let me be clear: I don't want you to act as your own doctor, but I do want you to be informed. Furthermore, I want you to understand the best of what is available for you and your symptoms. My goal is to lay out a strategy for wellness that you can share with your doctor." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"I know there is something wrong with me, but my doctors tell me that there isn't." I wrote this book to try to answer those questions. I can't promise that reading this book will absolutely relieve all of your concerns and symptoms at once. But I can promise you that if you read this book and try to employ the strategies I suggest, you will feel better than you do at this moment, quite possibly very much better. This book will help you to better understand why you feel the way you do, and it will help you to get your doctor to help you, as well as help you to help yourself." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"In the meantime, let's find out just what is wrong with the modern diet, and why it dramatically increases the risk of CHD. "Food is an important part of a balanced diet." Fran Lebowitz Itfs the Food, Stupid! Real health requires real food. Human beings, like virtually every other species on the planet, rely on the food they eat to deliver the nutrients needed for optimal health." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.) "There is, however, plenty wrong with placing inordinate emphasis on the attainment of such material possessions, to the point where one overextends themselves financially. From a young age, our consumer-driven culture subjects us to a relentless deluge of marketing designed to make us feel grossly inadequate if we fail to purchase the latest widgets and gadgets. Not infrequently, our reward for succumbing to such clever manipulation is a high level of debt and constant worrying over financial matters." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.) "It was in 1996 that I began to realize these health authorities had gotten it seriously wrong. Despite my 'wholesome" diet and daily strenuous exercise, my blood pressure had risen from 110/65, a reading characteristic of highly conditioned athletes, to an elevated 130/90. Instead of the lean, athletic look to which I had become accustomed, my physique started to become increasingly smooth and bloated. My digestive function began to deteriorate dramatically, with my stomach often feeling heavy, gaseous and distended after meals." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.) "This increased free radical burden, in turn, can arise when we eat too much of the wrong foods and not enough of the right ones. Regardless of whether oxidized LDL cholesterol is a culprit or innocent bystander, there is little doubt that increased free radical activity in the body will increase one's susceptibility to cardiovascular disease. So regardless of its exact role in the development of atherosclerosis, oxidized LDL can nevertheless serve as a helpful gauge of the body's antioxidant status." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"What is clear is that several battalions worth of battle-hardened warriors were feeling wronged, and those battalions—despite the promise exacted by Valens, armed battalions—were now on the wrong side of the Danube. Diocletian's strategy of defense in depth was about to be tested. The first battle of the Goth rebellion was fought when the Roman commander at Marcianopolis tried and failed to kidnap and kill two Gothic leaders." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Reversing the Epidemic For nearly four decades we have been losing the winnable war on cancer because we have relied on the wrong generals and the wrong strategies. The cancer epidemic can still be arrested and reversed, but we must recruit new generals and develop new strategies that make prevention a more urgent goal than damage control. An essential first step in this process is for consumers to educate themselves about how they can undertake their own cancer prevention strategies using the information in this book ?" - 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.)

"Nevertheless, an RCT is favored by EBM, because it allows us to quantify our chances of being wrong when we impute causality to the intervention. It is sobering to bear in mind that we can never truly prove causality; all we can do is state our chances of being wrong when we make that imputation. There is always the possibility that we will have been unlucky, that we had gotten that 1 time in 100 when pure random chance "put" an excess of the improvers in the treatment group and an excess of the worseners in the control group.11 3." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"When used alone, particularly in synthetic form or at the wrong dose, you don't get the maximum effect. • When you stop taking supplements, you lose the benefits. • Don't be confused by negative news reports. Educate yourself. Do some research. The Internet offers many authoritative and noncommercial resources on supplement research, including the Linus Pauling Institute Gpi.oregonstate.edu] and the U.S. government's National Library of Medicine [www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/}. • Vitamin A has come under scrutiny." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"What would the legal ramifications be if the ADA suddenly announced that they, and all the dentists connected with them, had been wrong for well over 100 years and had been slowly poisoning all Americans? Can you spell tobacco? 3. Root canals If a tooth's pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels becomes infected or damaged because of decay or injury, your options are often limited. Effectively, your dentist will offer you two options. You can either have the tooth pulled or the nerve removed—better known as a "root canal treatment." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"EXERCISE What's wrong with You? Here is the same list of self-doubts you looked at in Session 2. These are the things that Harriet calls you. Select the ones you identify with. defenseless not self-sufficient unloveable childish hopeless coldhearted untrustworthy cowardly inferior talentless mean incapable cruel unreliable unworthy too dependent disobedient helpless defective too meek damaged bad incomplete totally alone stupid boring self-centered weak unfeminine pathetic unmasculine Now, let's make them specific. That's where you'll really see how cruel you let Harriet be to you." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"Now don't get me wrong, I am not advocating that you live on seal blubber like the Eskimos and raw meat like the Pottenger cats. But, can there be any doubt in your mind that live enzymes in your diet make a dramatic difference in your overall health and longevity? But There's Even More Pancreatic enzymes are part of a substance called pancreatin (or pancreas juice) produced in the pancreas. This complex includes the enzymes protease, amylase, and lipase and is released both into the intestines and the bloodstream." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"You can avoid impulsive big decisions like falling in love and marrying before you really know the real person, or marrying the wrong person to spite your parents. There are hundreds of things you can do and skills you can further develop to provide yourself with as much safety as possible in what is at times an unpredictable world. But to be your own adult provider of real safety, you have to face reality, whatever it is, and work with it." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "That is, while in the grips of the illusion of safety, you think nothing can go wrong. It's a very seductive idea. It's the deepest wish of an anxious child or adult. The idea of absolute safety represents the opposite of all of our fears about what might happen to us, physically and emotionally. The illusion of absolute safety is what makes the food trance so comforting when we go into the escape bubble. Perfect safety is the goal of the heroin addict as well as the alcoholic who drinks him- or herself into a stupor of oblivion." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"Gifts from Your Dentist Dentists have accomplished many great things in this country in terms of promoting oral health, but on three key issues, they stand on the wrong side of history and health. 1. Fluoride 2. Mercury fillings 3. Root canals 1. Fluoride In Chapter 11, Dying of Thirst, I discussed in some detail the evidence that fluoride is a dangerous toxic substance that has no business being added to our drinking water. But it is worth repeating here that new research has revealed that fluoride in drinking water makes the aluminum that we ingest more bioavailable." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"To God all things are fair and good and right," declares Heraclitus; "but men hold some things wrong and some right." 54 Hence the figures worshiped in the temples of the "world are by no means always beautiful, always benign, or even necessarily virtuous. Like the deity of the Book of Job, they far transcend the scales of human value. And likewise, mythology does not hold as its greatest hero the merely virtuous man. Virtue is but the pedagogical prelude to the culminating insight, which goes beyond all pairs of opposites." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"Pain exists for a reason; it's a built-in alert system, letting you know that something is wrong. If you are in chronic pain and haven't already done so, you'll want to check with a healthcare professional to make sure you're getting the essential healthcare that's appropriate for your condition. Use this method for its healthful benefits, not to mask underlying symptoms or as an excuse to avoid appropriate medical care. This method works by convincing the mind that pain in the body does not exist." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Healing means understanding what went wrong, or who did what to me. To heal, we do not have to understand what went wrong in our life or who did what to us. If a person is recovering from a heart attack, would his recovery be enhanced by trying to figure out what he did wrong, or who did what to him? I think not. Instead, he needs to rest, including his conscious, chattering mind. The fact is, we cannot know what went wrong or how we arrived at our present situation until we experience it with our biology. We cannot see the forest if we are looking at a tree." - Donald M. Epstein, Healing Myths, Healing Magic: Breaking the Spell of Old Illusions; Reclaiming Our Power to Heal (Get the book.)

"Ulysses and the Sirens mae;" he looks more closely, and observes that her elbows and knees bend the wrong way; this reveals her true character, and he flies. If a young man can strike the temptress with a dracaena leaf she turns into her own shape and glides away a snake." But these very snakes, the mae, so greatly feared, are believed to become the familiars of those who have intercourse with them.48 Such demons—at once dangers and bestowers of magic power—every hero must encounter who steps an inch outside the walls of his tradition." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"Of course, if we're wrong, you'll die from the treatment and not your cancer. And at the very least, since it is so poisonous, you're going to feel really really ill—much worse than you've ever felt in your life. Your hair will fall out. You'll vomit repeatedly. You'll feel as though your very life is being drained from your body (which is actually what's happening). But, of course, it's worth it if it works. And it is your only option." I don't know how many times I've seen people die from the chemotherapy and not the cancer. But two things, in particular, really gall me." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Nothing wrong with that. But his HDL level also dropped, from 33 to 29—the lowest in his life. We like to see men no lower than 35, and women no lower than 40. Low HDL is a serious risk factor for heart problems. It is the component of cholesterol that picks up harmful oxidized LDL and transports it back to the liver for removal. Lou's new diet was really a time bomb for disaster. Trans fats lower HDL and stoke free radical damage to cell membranes, injury that kindles inflammation, disease, and age-related changes. They also promote LDL oxidation and raise Lp(a)." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) "But he insisted that something was wrong and followed his intuition. Further tests showed that Clinton indeed had acute coronary artery disease (CAD), meaning severe blockage of the coronary arteries that feed the heart. He could have dropped dead at any minute. He chose to have bypass surgery. Classic Cardiac Symptoms These symptoms are not 100 percent gender-specific. Women generally experience more vaguely defined symptoms than men." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)
