 We have disorders with all kinds of complex sounding names like ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease, fibromyalgia and Alzheimer's disease. Most people have heard of these diseases, but just because we name them doesn't mean we know their cause.
Take Lou Gehrig's disease -- even conventional medicine admits that perhaps 90 percent of the cases have no known cause. They don't know what causes it, and that's because, as with many other degenerative diseases, Lou Gehrig's disease really isn't a disease at all. It's a name attached to a set of observations. |

 This antioxidant complex, extracted from the bark of French maritime pine trees, contains around forty compounds. Some reports, published and anecdotal, have found it helpful in treating distractibility, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity in children. It may have similar benefits in adults. Try 100 mg twice daily.
B-complex vitamins. By now, you understand how important a foundation B vitamins are for healthy neurotransmitter levels and activity. Take a high-potency B-complex (or a high-potency multivitamin) containing 25 to 50 mg of vitamins Bl, B2, and B3. |

 Apparently, the word "frequency" is a little too complex for the average American citizen, and thus, the CDC chose to replace the word "frequency" with the two-word phrase, "A lot."
Now, the brochure says, "Wash your hands a lot," which sounds like something a middle-school teenager might say -- but not something that should come from the Centers for Disease Control. Why not just replace the word "frequency" with the word "tons," because that seems to be a more common word with the undereducated American public? "Wash your hands tons!"
Happy birthday to me! |

She is at the root of such unattainable great goddess figures as that of the chaste and terrible Diana?whose absolute ruin of the young sportsman Actaeon illustrates what a blast of fear is contained in such symbols of the mind's and body's blocked desire. |

 A complex sound such as a single note on a violin is not made up of a simple square wave tone, it's made up of highly complex harmonics which give the violin its own tone and timbre, a sort of auditory personality. On an oscilloscope, these often appear as copies of the same underlying waveforms.
They're also called "overtones," and they're present throughout the human experience. Simple saying the word, "we," for example, involves shaping the mouth and tongue into an arrangement that creates complex, high-frequency overtones. |

 Other enzymes known to use NAD or niacin as a cofactor include glucose-6-phosphate l-dehydrogenase, complex l, dihydropteridine reductase, and long-chain-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase.33 Alleles, genetic variants that produce aberrant enzymes with abnormally low efficacy, are known to be linked to greatly increased disease risk. Inefficient glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase, for example, seems associated with hemolytic anemia and favism. complex 1 abnormalities seem to be associated with elevated blood lactate and pyruvate. |

 Link one or more sugar molecules and you get a form of sugar once referred to as starch, but usually now called a complex carbohydrate. Rice, wheat, potatoes, and beets are just some complex carbs that break down into sugar when they're digested. In plants, sugars usually appear in concentrated amounts in either the seeds or fruits that

 Pilates movements range from extremely simple to surprisingly complex and difficult.
Paralleled with the rising popularity of Pilates is the increasing popularity of Pilates machines. These are application-specific exercise machines that help you perform the Pilates exercises, either by giving you an increased range of motion and support, or helping you ease into some of the more complex movements. One of the more interesting machines available on the market today is the Pilates Allegro Reformer, available at Pilates.com (http://www.pilates.com/BBAPP/V/equipment/allegro-pilates-reformer.html). |

 The immune complex is made up of an antigen (food molecule) and an antibody, and triggers the release of inflammatory molecules from various tissues in the body, thereby causing inflammation. If these immune complexes are not eliminated from the body they can deposit in tissues and cause injury. The more immune complexes there are, and the more histamine and other 'amines' that are produced by the body, the more likely there will be tissue damage. An estimated 80 percent of food intolerance reactions involve IgG. |

 Carbohydrates generally refer to starches. complex carbs have a larger chemical structure than that of simple carbs and sugars, and they are absorbed relatively slowly. High-fiber vegetables (e.g., leafy greens, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower) and high-fiber fruits (raspberries, blueberries, kiwi) are excellent sources of complex carbs.
In contrast, simple carbs are usually refined (such as by grinding, bleaching, or separating their constituents) to remove the fiber, resulting in an almost pure starch. Simple carbs are absorbed quickly, much like a sugar. |

 Benzodiazepines bind to a macromolecular complex that is found within the central nervous system (CNS), referred to as the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-benzodiazepine receptor-chloride ion channel complex.3 When benzodiazepines bind onto or near this macromolecular complex, they potentiate GABA-ergic synaptic inhibition through membrane hyperpolarization, thus enhancing the conductance of the chloride ion by increasing the frequency of channel-opening events.3 The net result is the reduction of anxiety and related symptoms via the diminution of neurotransmission (i.e. |

| This period of stress alerts the patient's heart cell genes that trouble is on the way, activating a complex series of events that cause heart muscle cells to hunker down and protect themselves until a better time-in the form of new blood flow-arrives. Even better, other cells in the area that are not pulling their weight are eaten by white blood cells or instructed to die, a process called apoptosis. The result is that strong cells remain and weak cells are eliminated, enhancing the chance of survival during and after heart surgery. |

 THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
The immune system is a complex and delicately balanced system whose function is to defend the body against invaders and to fight disease. The components of this system work to eliminate potential antigens such as drugs, pollens, insect venom, chemicals in foods, malignant cells, and foreign tissue such as transplanted organs or transfused blood. It can deal with a wide range of pathogens such as viruses, fungi, bacteria, and parasites. The immune system maintains its own system of circulation via the lymphatic vessels, which permeate every organ in the body except the brain. |

 However, as with most things bioenergetic, many systems come together to form complex informational networks, and the brain is an integration point for most of these networks. So, as an example, while the Stomach Driver links to the prefrontal lobes, Kidney Driver links bioenergetically to brain tissue as a whole, and Heart Driver links bioenergetically to the midbrain. |
| COHERENT FIELDS
The history of vibrational medicine is too long and complex to properly review in this chapter, but several aspects of this discipline are crucial to our investigation of the bioenergetic and quantum processes in the body. Resonance in particular is turning out to be an important method of intercellular communication. The term resonance refers to shared frequencies within a system. It takes two forms: destructive or constructive. A classic example of the destructive force of resonance is a platoon of soldiers marching across a bridge. |
| Other, more complex elements, such as deuterium, made next to no matches, which again is not surprising because this element is not important to health. Peter discovered that, generally, the elements that come earliest in the periodic table—hydrogen, carbon, boron, oxygen, nitrogen, sodium, magnesium, potassium, and calcium—match most vigorously with the body. Most of the elements that come later in the periodic table, with a few exceptions, do not talk much or at all to the body. |
| By taking apart cells, biologists learned that they have a complex and intricate structure. However, this is not integrative science. As cell biologist Franklin M. Harold wrote, "We know in our hearts that a cell is far more than an aggregate of individual molecules; it is an organized, structured, purposeful and evolved whole. Unfortunately, analytical practice dictates that we begin our inquiries by grinding the exquisite architecture of the living cell into a pulp. |
| Because cell function is so complex, it is difficult, if not impossible, to target only one aspect of cells, which is why many drugs have a plethora of side effects. The Energetic Star 14 Infoceutical is designed to help cells excrete or resist the effects of environmental toxins bioenergetically so that they work more effectively and efficiently. This Star, then, is energetically connected to a wide range of detrimental effects from a variety of environmental toxins, including but not limited to those commonly found in dyes, car exhaust, fungicides, some pesticides, and the like. |
| ENERGETIC DRIVER 4: NERVE DRIVER
The nervous system is particularly complex from a biophysical perspective. Bioenergetic studies have revealed that during prenatal development, the fetal nervous system produces low-frequency sounds, which are likely imprinting information that is crucial to the continued development of the growing fetus. As fetal development nears completion and soon after the baby's birth, its nervous system becomes heavily dependent on electrical-chemical signals, such as those that produce the different types of brain waves (alpha, beta, theta, and delta). |

| Foods, like drugs, are complex mixtures of chemical compounds. When some drugs and foods are taken simultaneously, the combination may increase or decrease blood levels of the drug in the body or speed or slow the drug's absorption into the bloodstream.
Example: Thiazide diuretics, one class of drugs used to treat high blood pressure and other conditions, cause the body to excrete potassium and magnesium. Taking them and eating salty foods can increase mineral loss and result in deficiencies. |
| Today's hearing aids are complex devices that can be customized to your own hearing profile, amplifying certain frequencies and not others. When properly prescribed and fitted, they can significantly improve the hearing abilities of most people who have a hearing loss.
Your level of hearing loss will dictate what type of hearing aid you should have. It is critically important to get a comfortable, well-designed, custom-molded hearing aid, not a one-size-fits-all model. Both analog and digital models (some of which are programmable for multiple environments) are available. |

| Can you imagine the look a 110-year-old Okinawan woman weeding her garden would give you if you asked her about the ratio of simple to complex carbohydrates in her afternoon snack? Or how an elderly Sardinian herding his flock up a rocky hillside would react when told his lunch should contain no more than 4 grams of monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fat? Yet, this is what most diet gurus insist you do. Successful centenarians have proved such complicated guidelines unnecessary.
And come on. How long are you really going to do these things? |
| Compared to fat and carbohydrate, protein is the least efficient source of energy, requiring a tremendous amount of digestive work and breakdown of complex protein molecules into amino acids. In fact, Arctic explorers in the nineteenth century who had to resort to eating primarily lean rabbits and rodents actually starved to death, a phenomenon termed "rabbit starvation" or "protein starvation."1 Why is protein such a lousy calorie source? The process of breaking it down into usable fuel actually consumes 30 percent of the calories, primarily as heat production, making them unavailable to you. |

 While the underlying economic and social issues are complex, sustaining agricultural productivity in both the developed and developing world depends on retaining fertile soil.
Irreplaceable over human timescales, soil is an awkward hybrid—an essential resource renewable only at a glacial pace. Like many environmental problems that become harder to address the longer they are neg-lecred, soil erosion rhrearens the foundation of civilization over timescales longer than social institutions last. |

 Diet: Eat soft complex carbohydrates such as bananas, rice, potatoes, and toast. Drink black tea as it is a natural antidiarrheal. Fruits and vegetables (except those mentioned above) should be excluded from your diet, as should sugary processed foods, dairy products, and fatty foods. Infants may continue to breastfeed, but breast milk should be supplemented with oral rehydration fluid as described above. Probiotics (beneficial bacteria that live in the gut) may be given as a supplement. |
| Take 100,000 IU of beta carotene and 400 IU of vitamin E a day. B complex vitamins (50-100 mg a day) will help to reduce the effects of stress, which can weaken your immune system. Taking 200 meg of selenium and 15-30 mg of zinc a day is also recommended.
Herbs: Thuja has a caustic effect on warts as well as antiviral properties. Apply one drop of thuja tincture, available from health food stores, two to four times a day. Take 500 mg of olive leaf extract orally twice a day for its antiviral properties. |
