What you are about to read is one of the most interesting and inspiring implications that stems from the logic of the systemic memory process. If the concept of energy can be combined with the concept of a system, then a set of novel and far-reaching implications suggest themselves.
In the process of physical systems creating integrative systemic memories, they create virtual systems of dynamic memories—living energy systems—in the vacuum of space within the physical systems. |

The stems can be cooked and eaten like asparagus. The starchy roots can be cooked as a root vegetable. Inuit peoples fermented the fleshy leaves and stems in water to make a sauerkraut-like dish, and they preserved the roots in seal oil so they could be available and eaten during the long arctic winters.
In present-day Ukraine, a medicinal alcoholic drink called nastojka is prepared by mixing 80 proof vodka with an equal weight of fresh rhodiola roots and allowing the mixture to stand for a few weeks. Only a few teaspoonfuls should be consumed daily. |

This pain stems from early in life, not the least of which is womb-life and birth.
3. The pain is imprinted into the central nervous system and throughout the body.
4. The pain is coded and stored in key brain systems, particularly the limbic system and brainstem, and spreads its tentacles to other parts of one's physiology.
5. The pain can be registered on three key levels of brain function or levels of consciousness.
6. The time or epoch in which the trauma occurred will determine where in the brain it is stored and the amount of damage it will produce.

The WHO reports omit the fact that this "rise" in numbers stems mostly from the extension of this extremely inaccurate HIV-test to previously uncovered populations in the world. In actuality, HIV stopped spreading long ago. Besides, as the scientist who discovered HIV admitted, HIV cannot cause AIDS.
New Evidence: HIV Rarely Spreads Heterosexually
In the developing world, the virus has existed for at least 65 years because HIV is rarely spread heterosexually. |
| The blood's tendency towards clotting, considered to be the greatest cause for heart attack or stroke, stems almost exclusively from the saturation of proteins in the blood. (Note that smoking also increases blood protein concentrations, as shown below). Fats, on the other hand, have no blood-clotting ability. In their attempt to avert a heart attack, the capillary cells absorb the excessive protein, convert it into collagen fiber, and store it in their basal membranes. |

For oily hair, a decoction of the leaves and stems could serve as a scalp rinse or wash. A concentrated extract, available from health stores, could also be incorporated into a shampoo to wash and improve hair quality. These beneficial effects may be due to compounds in the leaves, such as beta-sitosterol and antiinflammatory compounds known as flavonoids, such as quercetin and rutin.

DIAGNOSIS
Very often there is no specific explanation for hair loss, a very distressing condition that can affect anyone at any time. |
| The infection usually stems from blocked eustachian tubes, which are the drainage canals running from the ear to the nose and throat. These tubes tend to be narrow in children, and problems arise when colds, sinus conditions, and throat infections cause the tubes to become blocked so that the mucus is unable to drain. Infection of the middle ear (otitis media) is an extremely painful condition that can result in intense earache and fever. Occasionally hearing is affected, and sometimes the eardrum will burst, releasing a thick yellow matter. This will eventually heal on its own. |

Its effect of boosting self-confidence and self-esteem stems, to some extent, from the improved oxygen supply to the cells and the resulting well-being in all parts of the body and mind. Exercise is an excellent means of increasing happiness in life, especially if it involves challenges that require creativity.
The conventional approach to exercise promotes the belief that a good workout takes you to the limits of your endurance, leaving you exhausted and tired. This is not true. |

Partial hearing loss comes on more suddenly and generally stems from infection, injury, or deterioration as you get older. There are two kinds of deafness: conductive and nerve deafness. Conductive deafness results from a defect in the mechanical part of your hearing. It can result from a blockage of wax, or damage to the eardrum, which can become perforated. Nerve deafness results from a defect in or damage to the delicate inner ear, from where sound vibrations are carried to the brain. |
| Some herbalists will add it to an infusion or tincture of dried leaves, stems, and flowers of black horehound for its ability to treat nausea, vomiting, and anxiety-related indigestion.
Meadowsweet: Travel sickness products may also contain meadowsweet. The above-ground parts of this plant are used to calm the stomach and serve as an antacid, which may stem from the fact that it contains high levels of tannins (strong astringents) and even some salicylic acid (which works in a way similar to aspirin). |

Hoodia: The sap or the roots and stems of hoodia have traditionally been used as an appetite suppressant, which may be due to a compound called P57AS3. Research into the positive effects of this plant and compound is still in the early stages so it is too soon to tell if this plant will live up to its reputation.

A failure to eliminate stems from overload problems, which in turn cause intestinal toxemia, constipation, and the malfunction of glands and organs of elimination.
In the case of a headache not caused by trauma, there are too many toxins in the blood and the body is working very hard to keep them out of the brain and eliminate them from the blood. In the process of doing this, the blood vessels can spasm or dilate in an attempt to remove the toxins from the bloodstream faster. This causes the pain. |

T'ai-chi is based on the belief that illness stems from eft/ moving too slowly or too quickly, resulting in imbalances of energy in particular areas of the body. For example, if too much energy is in the head and chest and too little in the legs, the body becomes 'top-heavy' and this needs to be corrected by mentally focusing on the correct chi through the performance of various movements.
Many Westerners have great difficulty in understanding the concept of chi, but have experienced its power when a needle was inserted in an acupuncture point in their body. |

| This is normal, but the problem stems from the indoor mold colonies that multiply.
Envirochex, an indoor-environment consultant firm, explains, "When these organisms are allowed to grow in a closed indoor environment, they can release millions of spores causing indoor levels to reach concentrations that are hundreds of times higher than outdoors ... levels that can be detrimental to even healthy people."66 Mold toxin exposure has been linked to respiratory ailments, as well as nausea and diarrhea. To greatly reduce mold and mildew exposure, follow the recommendations below. |

The idea of Drovidina shark cartilaae to treat cancer stems from this observation, though it doesn't cure cancer. [Pharmacological Therapy 63: 265, 1994]
Cancer researchers intentionally caused kidney tumors in rats with the use of iron and then divided the rats into two groups, one group receiving only adequate amounts of vitamin E and another group receiving supplemental vitamin E. Among the rats that received low levels of vitamin E, 44 percent develop kidney tumors while among the rats receiving supplemental vitamin E only 5 percent developed tumors. |

| The popularity of stimulant laxatives stems from the fact they start working in a matter of hours. Unfortunately, stimulant laxatives can also cause the same diarrhea, dehydration, and gas-related pain as osmotic laxatives. If overused, stimulant laxatives can become incredibly addictive and cause long-term damage to the sensitive intestinal lining.
The intestines can quickly grow dependent on stimulant laxatives to trigger a "false" bowel movement, thus preventing normal intestinal contractions. |

Much of the popular and scientific interest in DHEA stems from our culture's emphasis on youth. If levels of this hormone decline with age, the thinking goes, we could avoid the health problems that accompany aging ?or even extend our lifespan ?by keeping DHEA levels high.10 Many people are already taking DHEA just in case this turns out to be true. That wouldn't be a problem if this substance were as safe as vitamin C. But as a potent steroid hormone, DHEA has the potential for far-reaching side effects throughout the body. |
